erweight title Friday night against

We know that by not allowing
Negro players to engage in the
greatest national pastime Of Ameri-
ca, IN organized baseball, we are
hindering not only the great game
Of baseball but helping TO cause dis
unity among the people Of America
in its greatest fight for freedom
and democracy, This discrimina-
tory practice must be abolished
Immediately in the interest Of unit
ing the whole OF America in its
struggle for freedom and democ-
racy.
PRESENT CONFLICT
The present world conflict in
which our country is playing so
vital a role is being fought among
other reasons to establish the prin-
c!ple that all men are equal and TO
finally put an end TO discrimination
against people because Of race, color
or religion. The prohibition against
the participation Of Negro baseball
players on teams is against that
principle for which our nation Is
fighting and for which our Ame-i-
can boys are laying down their
lives.
JUST DLDDLE
While baseball masnates dsddle
and dsbble, courageous men all over
the world are dying, bleeding and
suffering in the struggle against the
barbaric enemy Of the whole world.
Thousands OF men from all parts of
the country. together with native
Filipinos, are lying dead in Bataan
and Corresidor, and these magnates
are causing disuniiy.
IRON HEEL
Baseball, like everything else that
IS part Of the American heritage,
would not exist one day under the
iron heel Of Hitler and his criminal
ttoozes in Japan, Those in the top
circles Of baseball must be made
TO realize tina, they viii not be
Tolerated anymore. We have moth
ing bu, hatred for the business as
usual phonies who are more inter-
es:ed in making profits than in their
country and people when we are
fighting for our very existence.
DISGRACEFUL
The dlssraceful continuance Of The
Jim Grow ban on Negro baseball
stars has too long darkened this
national pastime. American people
are demanding ever more loudly
and sharply that all forms Of dis
elimination be completely wiped
on. Of American life
WILL WIN
The fight against Jim Grow in
the Major League can be won in a
short time If whirlwind campaign
Is launched against the man VINO is
solely responsible for the ban on
Negro stars, Judge K NJ. Lands.
Leading this fight must be The
mighty trade unions, who arc keep
ing them Rolling. sailing, flying
TO win the War against the biggest
jim Grower Of then all, Adolph Hit
Ter. Local 600 should COON record
70 end Jim Grow this season.

LOUIS ORDERED. .
TO FORT RILEY
FOR TRAINING
Plans For Title B out
Blocked By Army
Authorities

When the army issued orders last
week transferring Corp, Joe Louis
Barrow to Fl Riley, Kans.. hopes
for another title fight by the cham
pion grew DINNER than at any
time since he went into the service
last February.
The orders transferring Louis to
Fort Riley were accompanied by
an announcement from Secretary OF
War Stinson declaring that until
Louis period of intensive basic
training had been completed, ZAP
pearances other than those strictly
IN behalf Of the armed forces will
not be undertaken"
Not Completed Work
Ordinarily basic Taining requires
10 weeks. Although Louis has been
in the service much longer than
the required time for the training.
he has not completed the work
because OF the many engagements.
plus one fight
Mike Jacobs who has been pro-
noting Louis fights, made a plea
that the champion be allowed to
fight to raise money to pay his in
come tax of $4,000 due June Is.
Jacobs plea was not considered,
at least for the time being.
Louis transfer TO Fort Riley
means that he will train with the
Ninth or Tenth cavalry. stationed
there. Both are crack units Of the
army with a long list of accom-
plfshments behind them. Louis
was formerly at Camp Upton. Long
Island. n Y.
A lover of horse flesh and a good
rider, Louis will fit into the cavalry
with ease. He has been riding reg
ularly for the past six years and
has a fine stable OF horses at his
SprfnshIll farm.

THE
GOLFING
WO r L D
By JEANETTE WORLDS


Golfer Of the week is the we'll
known pro, Bob Seymour-fsce;i-
ously penned Bobby Jones Sey-
mour Now. there is a guy! Best
known among Detroit professional
golfers and former pro tp'Joe Louis,
Seymour mas been missing from the
links-Bu, To- and behold, the first
person | saw az Rackham Sunday,
preparing 20 tee-off in the Eddie
jackson Open was Bob Seymour.
Having returned from his army
training and awaiting his recall 10
service, he looked as though he was
in first-class shape-the same jovial
Bob with a long line Of golf CAB.
And was he hitting them? Well, I'll
say he was-right down the fairway
and on the green in two. That per-
fec,lyzbalanced golfing form Of Sey-
mour's is responsible for his pre-
clsion.
asked Bob II he was back in
golf for the duration, but he looked
dubious when he replied: Il may be
back in something for the duration,
but l don't think it viii be golfI'
Being employed by the city and
newly married too, he just can't get
around TO playing his once favorite
sport.
Seymour was one Of a foursome
and match which included DR.. Rob-
NlHson and Benny Davis versus Eddie
jackson and Seymour. believe that
Davis and Robinson won the match,
but this was probably due TO the
fact that il was Seymour's first time
gu, for the season and Eddie Jack
son. pro. probably was concentrat-
ing on his tournament progress in
stead Of his game. Then, again, there
IS never a time that l appear at
Rackham that l don't see Dr. Rob
inson and Davis working diligently
on their game. But no excuses, mind
you-Im simply offering explana-
lions.
