JOCKEY HERO TO TRY A COMEBACK
George King Fights Old Man Weight
BY LEWIS II. WALTER

Just year ago George Wayne
King was taking the bows at the
Detroit Race Track after becom-
ing the first jockey to ride five
winners in an afternoon at the
Fair Grounds.
Today King is back at the Fair
Grounds TO try for a comeback.

lie wound up the year ninth
among the nations jockeys with
146 winners and Sl24.340 in win
lnings for his employers. But he
was picking up the pounds right
along, too.
TALL FOR THE JOB
King is tall for a jockey. about
IS feet 5 inches. And he is not
naturally a lightweight. This be-
came apparent when he shot up
to 40 pounds before he went
South for the Florida season. He
fought the increase with steam
baths, dieting and exercise. but
II appeared to be vain fight. He
was doing so poorly at his riding
that he sold his riding equipment
and announced his retirement.
Early this spring King decided
he'd try again. Through great ef-
fort he has reduced again. He's
willing to make the sacrifices nee

NiPs Dubs
BY, CLAYTON HEPLER

There's no doubt today that
Harvey Dubs isn't ready 10 return
to the ring after his beating by
Ray Robinson.
And there's no doubt that Car
men Notch is one of the gamest
fighters ever to appear here.
But there is considerable doubt
las TO the wisdom of Referee Elmer
(Slim) McClelland's action in Civ
ing Notch a decision in their 10
round battle last night at Arena
Gardens.
When McClelland raised the
Pittsburgh welterweight's hand in
victory, there were more cheers
than jeers. but the approval Of
the 1000 fans who paid a gross
gate of S2,354.70 was more a
tribute to Notch's courage than to
his performance.
For Notch fought from the
fourth round TO the finish with
his right eye completely shut. Dubs
connected with left hook late in
the third round. and the orb began
to swell Immediately.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
S~KYROCKETS DURING WAR
ACCORDING TO PM.

New York. That juvenile de-
linquency has sky-rocket in Amer
lea during wartime. what has
brought about its increase, what is
being done about it and what can be
done about it, is revealed in a SER
les of four articles published in TIE
New York Daily, PM beginning
Monday, September q, and running
through Thursday. SEPTEMBER "a.
Judge Justine Wise Polier. Of The
New York Domestic Relations court
has written the first of the series
is New York's children. This art
icle was followed by a report on The
nation OF large by PMS national
news staff.
Special attention is called to the
series by the NAACP which stated
that the problem Of juvenile deiin-
quency is esp ecially serious n
ong the Negro population. NAACP
branches. it was suggested, might
well give considerable thought to
the problem and its solution in
their communities.

NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR
To OFFICIATE AT NEGRO
COLLEGE

Durham. n. c., Sept. "a amp =
GOV. J. M. Broughton, Of No~tN
Carolina will officiate Sunday at IT,
first Official vespor services Of Z e
new school year at North Carolina
College for Negroes The institd-
ton opened Monday with a heavy
enrolment which Indicated that Gcs
pite the demands made upon yong
Negro men in the state by the draft
last years regular enrolment Of
1874 stusents might b. exceeded. Tie
gov-~no~, who has visited the inst
tuition on several occasions. ha1
shown deep interest in Negro cdr
cation.
President James E. Shepard, who
has headed the institution since its
founding in 1910, called attention to
the fact that the North Carolina
college for Negroes is the only tax
/ supported college Of liberal arts es-
tablished in the entire south. 1t
is. therefore, the logical place Tor
graduate work to develope insofar
as this state and region are con-
cerned.
North Carolina, said DR.. Shep-
ard, has made every effort to carr
out the spirit and Interpretation Of
the directions of the United States
! supreme court in the Gaines decis-
ion, which reads: That Negroes
! shall have the same educational fac
f., ilities as those of the white people,
This has bee nmade possible here
through the close cooperation of
Duke university and the University
if North Carolina, both located ad-
%jacent to our institution"
Faculties of both neighboring
universities are represented upon

faculty members Of the white inst
tutions direct graduate courses and

ent of Duke university, is chairman
of the board of trustees at DR..
| Shepard's institution. DR.. Shepard
is vitality interested in the cultural,
religious, and civic interests Of the
community, state and nation IS
well as in his educational work.
1t is the recognition which has
come to him nationally and with
out seeking on his part, which at

WOMAN CONGRESSMAN AIDS
POLL TAX MEASURE

Washington. Sept. % amp The
opportunity to vote upon the Pep

nearer and nearer as one more and

petition to discharge the bill which
has been held up in committee.
The latest to sign the petition is
Congressman Frances p. Bolton.
noted philanthropist and friend of
the Negro from Cleveland. Mrs.
Bolton, who has always refrainad
from sgnng petitions for withdraw
al, broke her rule for the first time
because she felt that injustices
were being perpetrated upon Negro

south.
She made a brief speech and am

Wherefore, o. Sept. 25 AMP y
More than 100 freshmen registered

pressures to which they are relent-
lessly subjected.
Sociologists tell US that in times
M national upheaval, the subject
elements Of a nation must struggle
for relief. During the current war
even as World War I, the leadership
of the race was well within the pro
vince Of reason when they made and
are making efforts to improve tile
Negroes status. The Negro is WI
within the province of self preserr-
alton when he therefore strives in
dividually to improve his lost even
though such attempts may run cou1
ter to the traditional mores.
When the Negro gets FESTIVE then
in times like these it were useless
to invariably suspect "subversjvc
elements when the KuKluxKlan is
riding or 'Georgia's Terrible Tain
adge' is doing his stuff. There aIe
little Talmadges all around and they
are stirring within the Negro a re-
sentiment that stands out in bolder
relief in times like these. The most
dangerous "subversive elements"
are not foreign but domestic. One
Talmadge is more "~subversiye"
than a hundred Hitler henchman.
