Strong for Boxing

Here is a letter from Dave Nor

parry and thrust and feinting is true.
Plus two other things. Keeping on
balance-set for offense or defense
every second under all conditions.
Discovery (for beginners) Of the
surprising margin Of endurance and
vigorous action after being hurt. The
uninitiated don't know they have II.
They learn this from boxing.
These two things go into the list
Of wartime dividends from boxing

The Crystal Ball

There Is no coed reason why Nc
Mutt, Draft Director Hershey or any
other government official should at
tempt to chart q fixed, almost In
flexible, course for baseball players
or any other professional athletes.
OF course they want their status
clarified. They want to know n they
are to be permitted to play base
ball, football, etc., or II they are
to be drafted into war industry or
the armed services. They want to
know what the future has in store
for them.
But every other man IN civilian
life wants to know the same thing.
He wants to know what his future
Is during wartime. The average
physically fit white collar worker
knows that his job doesn't offer the
same degree of security that 1t did
five years ago. He understands that
the government can't tell him exc
actly how, when and where he fits
into the overall picture. The chang
ing course Of events, which cannot
always be foreseen by the govern
ment, may alter any mans status.
A great majority Of baseball lead
ers recognize this fact They hope,
certainly, that baseball will continue
for the duration. but are more than
willing to make their share Of sacri-
fees for the good Of their country.

Background

II was back in 1918 that Dorals
gained his first football fame. He
was pitching forward passes 10
Knute Rockne at Notre Dame. Since
then he has been backfield coach
at Notre Dame and head coach at
Columbia college nowa), Gonzaga
university and the U. Of ID. He
stayed At Detroit from 1924 through
the 1912 season.
During his stay at Detroit, Dorais'
teams won l13 games, tied seven
and lost so for 1903 percentage. In
1923 his team went undefeated, win
ming nine straight games.
One thing is fairly certain. Dorais
has accepted an overwhelming
share Of the responsibility for the
clubs future. His appointment
marks the FIRST time In history that
a National league club has appoint
ed an athletic director.
DoraiS win choose his own assist
ants. do his own scouting, make up
the teams schedule. have charge Of
all equipment, arrange for trips and
select the players.
Our money--for the long haul--is
on Dorais. He won't win the cham
plonship in 1919. but he win build
surely and speedily for the future.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Taking my place in front
of the City Barber Shop on down

is the best possible vantage point
from which to watch a study the

pointed Field Executive, Negro d.
vision of the Andrew Jackson Coun-
Gil, Mississippi, Boy Scouts. The first
such appointment for the state. OBJ
serving him my mind turned imme-
diately to the problem of delinquent
cy among Negro youth in Jackson
and throughout the state. With the
appointment of Prof Parker, and
the Delinquent Home, soon to be
completed, and under the direction
Of Prof. G.. w. Williams, of Durant,
there ought soon to become observ-
able some outstanding improvement
in Negro Youth Delinquency in the
state. 1t wont, however, unless both
the appointment of Prof. Parker,
and Prof. Williams, have served to
increase in the minds of the Ne
gro parent and public their reSpon-
sibillities towards the Negro youth,
rather than to have caused them to
give a sign of relief, and resigna-
ton, a leave the whole problem up
to Prof Parker and Prof. Williams;
which, for the good of the youth,
hope, haven't, and wont happen. In

Rdt-Catcher
Traps Self
Out Of A Job

WASHINGTON - (SNSl - jim
Young has trapped himself out o
his job as official rat-catcher o.
the United States Capitol. Thu
reason: he just got too good at his
job.
Young'S return to his previous
job as a janitor was announced
by Assistant Capitol Architect Ar
thur E. Cook, who said the Cap
itoPs war against rodents has been
fought to a successful CONCLUSION
Cook revealed that only about two
rats a week We're being caught in
the Capitol.
AT the rate of two rats week,
Cook figured, there no longer was
any percentage in using Young,
a husky fellow, exclusively as a
$12c-a-month rat-catcher, That
figures out at close to $l4 a rat
Only six months ago, Young's pay
per rat was in pennies, based oil
a weekly catch that reached a
peak of 352 early this year.
Young had no easy job in getting
rid of the rats. Big and ferocious
from years of having things their
own way, the rats refused to yield
to ordinary determination methods.
They even moved upstairs to the
street floor, and gnawed holes
through a revolving door resery-
ed for the use Of the President.
In desperation, Cook sought the
aid of the District of Columbia
health department, which concoct-
ed tempting bait and mapped
war to the finish. Execution OF the
program was placed in Young's
hands.
Young set and reset about 2o0
steel traps all over the Capitol
basement. and every dav, armed
with a length of pipe, he made the
rounds and removed his victims
Cook kept daily tab on results,
reporting a record bag of u rats
in one night. hooks and corners
unused since the British seized
the Capitol more than a century
ago were cleaned out, and rat
holes plugged up.
Now trapper Jim has laid aside
his weapons and taken UP the
peaceful janitorial duties. The
RAYS the same, but there's not
great amount Of adventure these
Gays for him.

In other language: Is the Negro tc
insist on the use of pressure or
forceful assertion or is he to con-
tinue his patient efforts at gradual
adoption?
MUST MAKE CHOICE
Whatever his choice of strategy,
Mr.. Boyd warns, the Negro should
bear in mind the promise OF sue
cess which each strategy holds
out, in view of the facts and psy-
chology of the American scene.
The choice, Mr.. Boyd suggests,
should be made according to ones
theory of history.
Long before one comes 10 the
end of Mr.. Boyd's piece, he knows
that his theory of history is the
gradualist view. Indeed. Mr.. Boyd is
SO impressed with the patient suf-
fering Of the Negro during years of
the cruelest prescriptions and
inaignaties that he is led lyrically
to celebrate "the Negro as a symbol
OF beauty and dignity among US
CHOICE OF STRATEGY
A word on the choice of strategy.
II should be noted that, as be-
tween explosion and gradualism, it
is not always for the Negro alone
to choose. The historical attitude,
past and present, of the dominant
white groups conditions this choice.
And unless one is prepared to adj
wise the colored man on the beauty
OF no aspiration, no assertion, no
action. which may anger the pre-
| JUDGED whites (and one knows
how little of either II takes to
anger theseD he had just as well
tell the Negro in this country to
resign himself to the gradual, if
not casual, readjuStment of the
pref udiced white man to the basic
concepts of respect for human per-
sonality and of simple political
justice.
Meanwhile, one presumes, the
Negro people are to do nothing
which would fire the explosives the
days of the Negroes years have
piled up in the social ammunition
dumps all over the place. The
trouble here is, given these social
ammunition dumps, the most rou-
tine way of living may lead to
the explosion. The thing to do is
to remove those dumps from our
midst. MIR. Boyd thinks we cal,
do this gradually! There is plenty
of time, he seems to be saying. Is
there really?

Suggests A
Strategy For
Real Progress
By PETER DANA

NEW YORK-(Calvin's News
Service)-The efforts Of liberal
white Southerners like novelist
James Boyd, publisher of the Pilot,
at Southern Pines, N. c.. to under
stand the position of the Negro
people in this country and to sug-
gest means of improving it, are
not to be taken lightly. Mr.. Boyd's
essay in The Nation of June 26,
Strategy for Negroes in which
he discusses at length this position
and means of improving it, de-
serves, then, sympathy or read
ing comparable to that which must
have prompted the writing.
Mr.. Boyd puts this question: Is
the strategy of the Negro as he
seeks his rightful place in Ameri-
can life to be explosive or gradual?
