En- Out
BY Emory O. Jackson

Army Comes First
Joe Louis is becoming as FAM
Gus for his philosophical sayings
as for his punches. His latest gold
en- saying being "the Army comes
first and Uncle Sam is the boss
when some sportswriteGS ask,
ed him about his future boxing
plans.
June %, the day Joe Louis
lent New York City for Fl. Riley
was also the fifth anniversary Of
his winning the heavyweight title
from James Braddock in Chicago.
The Brown Bomber is one of the
the few and only s5,OO0,OOc per-
former to volunteer for the army.
He says that his greatest thrill
was in joining the army.
A lover of horses, Louis will
probably find the calvary at Fort
Riley to his liking. Riding army
horses is quite more difficult than
riding just for sport. A favor
lite calvary song has a line which
says "trot, trot, trot, trot until
your fanny's good and hos

Freeman, Lutheran preacher now
in Birmingham, once scored 38
points in a basketball game. Why
don't the East-West game pro-
motors offer a Negro service team
a chance to play the winner of
their August 16 game?
"They don't tell anybody about
it,, meaning their baseball teams.
That's the way Dan Burley de-
scribed it in the ar-Amsterdam
(NYC) News in speaking about
the no-publicity situation in maj
or Negro baseball today.
He added: Reporters and sport
writers aren't suppose to be Sher
lock Holmes in these days and
times
"There is no censorship on base
ball news. If we don't get it.
especially from out Of town, it's
because fans, like he claims to be
don't write into the club manage
ment and request that they CO.
operate with newspapers
"Ycu chase a murder clue to
the end. Baseball, however, is not
suppose to be that seretive.'
"The owners and heads Of the
league (ought) to work out some

been trying to get club owners
and league officials to see over
the years. But they consider fl
gure facts, averages, interviews,

customer a ticket there Is sup

B on the back, while Countmein
had blue and white and the same
color cap.
Close examination of the picture
showed the B on the back OF the
leading jockey. establishing that
White Bait had won the race.
The argument that Countmein
had won the race was thus dis
posed OF. But the basis of a real
complaint by the horses hackers
was that the placing judges had
decided place and show horses by
looking at a picture which showed
only the first two horses.
This developed when another
picture. which the judges had not
seen, was brought down from the
camera booth for officials and the
crowd.
ALL THREE IN 1T
This picture showed all three
horses, with White Bait in the
center of the track, a winner by
q neck. On the extreme inside was
Miah and on the extreme outside
was Countmein, both horses with
their noses at the wire. Count
mems nose, however. appeared
quite clearly to be through the
wire. while Miah's nose was just
touching.

this picture to bring a howl from
those who had bet on Countmein

The track, however, had already

and had TO be satisfied. They
weren't, though.
LOTS OF BETTORS
According TO the. mutuels de-

Miah, the 2-l shot, and 1902 on
