But Crowley took the pressure
off in less than a minute this time.
Dit Clapper. the veteran Boston
defenseman, back in action for the

Nick Londes is in New York
today looking for new talent.
Naturally. he knows his best
card in Detroit right now is
LaMotta. But he isn't going to
be foolish enough to sign n

please the Bronx Bulldogs man..
ayers.
A bout with Reeves is the
only natural we can see on the
horizon for LaMotta. If Jake's
managers won't take this fight
h now, then Londes should write
him off future cards here until
he Is ready TO take IL.
Jake has done much for box
ing in Michigan. But the box
ing fans Of Michigan have done
just as much for Jake. He has
made more dough here in recent
weeks than he ever thought was
in the world.

Richly Deserves
His Appointment
BY BOB MURPHY
SPORTS EDITOR

Unless Gov. Harry F. Kelly
Is careful he will be thrown out
OF the national union which in
sists all governors appoint
politicians. regardless Of their
worth, to state political jobs.
Governor Kelly has pulled an
unbelievable trick. He has APP
pointed a MAN for the job,
NOT a politician.
William j. (Bill) Bowling Is
Michigan's new racing commits
sioner. II ever a deserved ap-
pointment was handed out
we'll, this Is IL.
Bowling knows horse racing.
But he doesn't know how to
practice politics. He simply
goes out and does his job effec-
lively and with the complete
cooperation of all those who
surround him.
You won't find Bowling
around taking bows or stick
ing his noggin into the picture
camera at every turn. You
won't find him spending most
of his time getting politicians
the best boxes at the race track
at the expense of those who
really pay.
No. you won't find Bowling
around much when there are
speeches TO be made and politi-
cal leaders to be pleased. But
you will find him on the job at
the race tracks--be IL arising at
dawn TO watch what is going
on at the various stables, or
peaking into the mutuels de-
partment every now and then.

shouldn't be allowed to get
away with IL.
One or two bad fights, where
fans do not get their moneys
worth, would have the game
back where il. was few
months ago. It's better to have
no boxing at all than a few of
the easy touches" that La
Motta's gang would try tostoSs
down Detroiters' threats.
Jake himself is a fighter first,
last and always. He expressed
the wish some weeks ago for

Rejecting a growing demand by
Negroes for some drastic legislation
to outlaw extra-legai manifestation
of race prejudice is the opinion
that riches and attainment are
not the answer to wiplng out Jim
crow and other discriminatory
practices. A majority of Negroes
polled felt definitely that both
these are beyond the reach of most
black Americans without some
lifting of racial restrictions.
WHITES DIFFER
On the other hand most whites
feel that education, more income
and higher achievements in Ameri.
can life will break down racial bar
riers and give the Negro more oil

West-Yes 81 percent; No 70 per-

South-Yes 80 percent; No So

LONG WAY TO GO
White opinion leaned to the
belief that the Negro population
still had long way to 60 in edu-
cation for full integration into
American life, Many yentured re-
marks concerning lack of santa
ton training, bad care of housing
little control of syphilis and other
similar reflections on Negro per
sonal habits as handicapS to full
equality.
A large segment especially in
the south expressed a belief that
race discrimination would never
be ended. That seems to be one
of the contradictions of the poll
the whites in the south agreeing
with most Negroes but for entire
| ly different reasons.

showed

West-Yes 70 percent; No IS per-
cent; Undecided Is percent.

Both whites and Negroes polled
on the question seemed to express
strong feelings one way or an
other, despite q large body that
!. seemed undecided one way or an
other A growing concern in the
solution Of the race problem In
America is reflected in the more
intent interest shown by whites in
the Negro question.
