cue. and even at this late date,
with the aid of the radio and the
motion picture, keep up their con-
slant campaign of proving the Me-
gro inferior.
Of course all of the bogus Scien
tific hodge-podge has since been
proved to be a mass of lies. But
unfortunately the truth, particular
ly when it spikes propaganda
against Negroes, seldom gets as
wide circulation as the original
lie
MORE SUBTLE TODAI
! The modern agents of propagan-
da make a more subtle, but far
more effective approach in their
campaign. The crude methods OF
tie earlier period are abandoned
though the objective of "smearing'
the Negro remains unchanged.
Today the propaganda tech
nique against Negroes is a clev-
err mixture of haif-truths,
down right lies, sly insinuations
and a more rigid censorship
than is practiced in Hitler's
Germany.
Most white people know nothing
about Negroes, except the impress
sion they get from their occasional
servants, plus what they see on
the screen, read in the newspapers
and hear over the radio
DRAW "NEGRO" TYPE
And these latter agencies, ex-
cept for precious few exceptions
are verJ careful to see that the on
ly knowledge they dispense about
the Negro, pictures him either as
a dangerous criminal, handker.

1t can be easily understood
why many white people look
upon the Negro with suspicion.
when their knowledge of him
is limited to the distorted
type nodded and held up as
typical by these propagandists.
Of recent weeks there has I'M
questionably been an acceleration
of this campaign. The purpose to-
day just like it has always been Is
to offset the increasing demands
of Negroes that they be given d
more equitable share in this de-
fi,tcracy- In the war effort, in gov

in a game that is sure to crack the
deadlock currently existing between
the two clubs. That is, even If the
Reds muff still another chance to-
morrow night at Cleveland as they
have muffed two already this week.
washington and Providence each
has 80 points, and both will wedge
into the league playofts, for It's
hardly possible that Philadelphia,
II points back, could catch either
team.
Third Place a Hot Potato.
The only parallel for that third
place Alphonse Castor act is IN the
funny papers. for each team has
tossed the bauble around as a not
potato. But unless they deadlock
Sunday night one of them will
be ensconced in the third spot.
The Lions muffed a big chance
last night as the New Haven Eagles
came with a four-goal, last-period
rush and Frank Merriwell finish to
whip them, 5 to 4, at Uline's.
Ordinarily, you could give Goalie
Bert Gardiner a 3-point lead ana
he'd protect it in misery style. The
Lions gave him that 3-point lead
early in the game and as late as
the beginning of the third period
the Lions led by that margin, even
though Gardiner had let sitter"
dribble through in the second
stanza. Then the Eagles started
moving. They scored two quick
ones at 1:49 and 6:15 to bring the
score up to ga, when little Mike

hefty Lion defense men. whacked
in. the tying counter at 10:17.

Tustin Seizes Opportunity.
Suddenly Norm Tustin, Eagle
wing, who previously had scored,
caught a quick opening and blasted
the winning goal past Gardeners
upheld stick. 1t came at 1910 with
only 20 seconds left. With it went
the hopes of the Lions for 4-out-
OFFS winning streak and of 1900
people who came to see them vault
into third place.
1t was a tough one to blow, with
third place depending on the result.
Had the Lions won that one an
upset of Providence Sunday night
just about would have cinched third
place, for only nine games remain
on the Lion schedule.

A.A.U. Boxing Topped
By Maimone's Bout
With Baldwin
MiddIes' Meeting Long
Awoited; Card Tonight
includes IS Scraps

Chubby Charley Maimone, the
Southeast slugger, makes his debut
in the annual A. A. u. boxing tour
nament tonight at Turner's Arena
in what shapes up as one of the blue
ribbon bouts Of the entire five
weeks of competition. His oppo-
nent will be lean Larry Baldwin, the
Alexandria red-head with the
misery-laden right
Their bout headlines lengthy
program that will see more than a
score of ambitious young leather
pushers in action. Fifteen bouts are
scheduled, starting at 8:15.
A Maimone bout was a
prize plum Billy Blake, A. A. U. box
ing chairman, tried to pluck last
summer when year-around compe-
tition was inaugurated for the boys.
1t was twice scheduled and twice
postponed when Baldwin fractured
his hand in training and the matter
eventually was dropped. 1t is a
coincidence that it should be the
first senior scrap drawn from a hat
for the titular competition.
Maimone will be the favorite. A
former A. A. U. champion who
moved out of his class last winter to
argue unsuccessfully with IT'S
Founders, Charley proved he is at
the peak by blasting all opposition
to win the Golden Gloves crown last
month. He is hard puncher and
game. Moreover, he Is cagey war
rior and this experience probably
will be the most important factor
tonight.
Baldwin, q big, gawky, country
lad will put the chill on anybody he
kisses with his right. He is tail, has
a good jab and is courageous
Obliged to hike three miles to the
st. Mary's Boys Club gym and back
again nightly for training, the
youngster is determined to go places
in the fistic world. If his inexperi-
ence is not too much of handicap
he'll give Maimone all he wants and
may emerge the winner.
Outstanding on the novice sched-
ule is the Harry Reid, Johnny At
kisson 147-pound scrap. Reid scored
one of the two kayoes registered last
week on the opening card and At
kisson is a highly-touted Olympic
Club battler.

But EoeIes' Foes Hold
Tie for League Leod

Eleven iron men Of the ice form
the entire Johnstown Blue Bird
hockey squad, who will make their
final scheduled appearance at Riv-
erside Stadium tonight against the
Eagles in an Eastern Amateur
League game, starting at $3.50.
Where other hockey outfits have
II men in uniform, and as many
as 16 men on the squad, Johnstown
carries only II players, Of whom 8
have smacked the puck through
most of their games. They've done
all right, too, for they are at the
top of the league in a tie with New
York. The story of Johnstown, new
est club in the league, Is an epic
of scrap and will to win.
The Blue Birds opened the sea-
son with a full squad under the
direction of Pick Hines. Players
began to drop out and financial
troubles beset the team. The league
itself kicked in with help. Hines
resigned as coach.
Finally II players formed a little
corporation among themselves, and
on a share and share alike basis de-
cided to stick together for the bal
ance of the season, naming Hank
Dyck, from their own ranks, as
coach.
They've drawn six straight Ca
pacity crowds in the little rink at
Jotnstown, and already are PLAN
ming to expand next year. Much
of the success of the Blue Birds
hinges on the performance of Frank
Ceryance, acknowledged star OF
Eastern League goalies.
So far against this iron man out
fit the Eagles have been able to
grab only two games against six
losses, with one ending in a tie.
Red MacKenzie's lads haven't won
a game at Johnstown.
