Pride and Prejudice

The white mans pride and
prejudice of race have antagon-
lied the vast numbers of black,
brown, yellow and in-between
races. For centuries the white
man has staggered up and
down the earth, lording it over
the lesser breeds" as Kipling,
the poet of the white mans i'm
perialism, so contemptuously
called them. Sometimes the
lesser breeds" bore their bur-
dens without too much COM
plant. Sometimes they REBEL
ed, only to be shot and beaten
down.
Here in the United States
about enc in every ten Ameri-
cans has black or brown skin.
These Colored Americans have
been getting a very shabby deal
from the superior" white race
ever since the first of the I'M
fortunate blacks was brought
from Africa in the bowels of a
slave ship, chained and in filth,
to work like a dog for his white
master. We freed the slaves,
never have given the colored
race a fair deal.
The Japanese might have
taken a different slant on life,
had they been received into the
white mans world on terms Of
equality. No one can know now
how much of their vaulting am
bition to rule the earth has
been fed by the lordly attitude
of the white man, by the as
sumption by the white world
that none whose skins are not
white are fit to associate with
those who mistakenly take the
title Of "Aryan" and feel their
godlikeness.
The white race must, either in
justice or as mere matter of
self protection, now take a real
iStic view of the situation. In
our own country we must recog-
nize that the Colored American
has rights and privileges, as
well as duties. We are taking
black men and boys by the hun
dreds of thousands into the
armed forces, where they are
fighting with courage and de-
termination. Fighting for what?
That is the question they are
asking themselves. For the
privilege of sweeping out Sa-
looms? For the privilege of
cleaning out spittoons, running
elevators. serving the white man
in mental capacities? For the
privilege of living in dirty, ram
Schackle tenements in back
streets of cities, in tumbledown,
filthy quarters in the cotton
belt? What is this democracy
the colored man is ordered to
fight for? According to various
newspapers, magazines and SER
mons Of the colored folk, they
intend to find out, once they
have helped the lordly whites
win this war,

the honorable statesman: -He should have told him. Because of fuel conditions, the schools may have to adopt Q four day week. This threatens to test the herolsIn of the youngsters to the very core. The blonde at the next desk thinks the Hollywood jury will acquit Flynn and if this happens we should forget all about those paving blocks and let him go to Australia and make a1- other movie. Not much good fiction has come out of this war yet unless you include the administratloi1's promise there would be no more strikes for the duration. We don't know whether the ban on pleasure driving hits Jimmy Thomson or not: It was always a pleasure to watch him drive of the tee.
 In fumbling around for an ex- planation the other day why the nations sports writers ignored ski jumper Torger Tolxle in nominating the athlete of the year, we pointed out that not many of them had had a chance to see him. There was the southern group, for instance, and. of course, there is no snow in the south. That's what we thought. It turns out there is plenty snow in, the south and right in our home states of Tennessee too. Nell Den- ney, secretary of the Great Smokies Ski club, Knoxville, graciously con- tributes to our education.
 Tn our national park" the lady writes. some 50 miles from Knox vile, the elevation Is around 5000 feet. We have skiing through the months of January, February and early March. The natives didn't realize the possibilities until l030. For the past nine years Knoxville has been headquarters of the IVA program. Many of the personnel are engineers, designers and arclai. tects from northern states: some from European countries. Finding snow within driving distance of tlnelr new homes, they took their skis and slid down the hiking trails. the old Indian roads, even the highway. Their enthusiasm being contagious. the natives soon took to the idea. Respectfully, we do not have Q ski jump but we do have snow in the south and we do have skiiers SO there now": So there now, is correct. What happened was, the Great Smokes got in our eyes.

WILSON TO BOX
 JACK !CALLURA
 IN PROVIDENCE
N. B. A. Feather Title at Stake in Providence;
 Latter S.IO Choice
BY GARDNER FROST

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Providence, R. l., Jan. 18.-(UP)- Nut-brown Jackie wilson, worlds featherweight boxing champion to practically everyone but the New York state boxing commission, risks his N. B. A. title tonight in a 15- round battle at the Rhode Island auditorium with Jackie Callura of Hamilton, Ont, who claims the Cari- adian crown.
 Financially 1t will be the biggest fight in the 14-year career of this chicken farming son of a Westmin- ster, s. O., Negro rnamnny. Ee,ll get S7,600 this time for the tile he won at Los Angeles from Richie Lemos in November 1941 for $l,OOO and twice risked for $2,000 and $3,70O-- the latter bout with Kui Kong Young, a Chinese in Sydney, Aus tralia,
 Whatever the outcome, wilson ex- poets to abandon ring, gloves and chicken farming for a uniform to match his complexion in the next few weeks. His Leechburg, Pa, draft board Is breathing hard on his heels but his managers, Jack Laken and Harry Burnkrant, think he'll outpoint the draft board by enlist ing.
 At the moment, Callura who rates as Q 8-10 choice is the big thing in Wilson's life. The Canadians s record at home IS somewhat ob- scure. But since arriving here last March. Callura has. made his mark as 8 slam bang slugger who has less defense than a day old chick.
 He started out by smacking Larry Bolvin of Providence SO hard in 4 rounds that Bolvin hasn't been much good since.
 He lost pair of close ones to Bobby (Poison) Ivy of Hartford, Conn, won twice from Davy Craw- ford here and lost to Cleo Shans ct Boston. Tn @ tour of the Bayous at New Orleans he had a dozen wins and losses but has topped Del Orto, Jimmy Perrin, Guy Se- rean and Nick Camarata.
 Wilson, who claims to be "2o plus," has by far the best ring rec. ord. Twice he's been halted-a straight knockout by Johnny Dato and a technical kayo by Ross Fields He evened the Fields score by win ming trice and drawing twice in later bouts. In the Australian tour he fought and won 13 times.
 During past months, wilson has been out of action with brok- en arm that cost him perhaps $sO,- 900 In purses. But he's had the time of life with his father and two nephews running his l7-acres chicken farmer on Pittsburghs out- skirts.
 Tn style, wilson and Callura are entirely opposite. wilson can box and has a sharp left and a straight shooting right with the kick of an Arkafsas mule. Callura steps in and throws punches with consid- erable authority from all over the ring in lunging fashion.
 Att he moment Callura is in per. haps the finest trim. He looks fast and rugged and weighed 124% af- ter Saturdays workout. Wilson is attaining his peak @ trifle slower but dropped to the 126-pound limit after an ll.round sparring session Saturday. Both fighters tapered off off with light workouts yesterday.
 Both men have posted $l,O00 weight and and appearance for- feits and the state boxing commis-' sion has received $2,500 from Leo Bradley-the N. B. A. guarantee of 2 return match within 60 days for Wilson in case he loses.

Frank McC COrmick
 Bell Cow Of Reds Batting Attack

Cincinnati-Every good ball club must have what is referred to in the trade as bell COW. What is Q bell cow2 It is e good hitter who can set the pace, thereby making 1t cas- fer for his teammates to follow.
 Hitting is contagious. So is lack of hitting. There are a few men and they're mighty few, who can sci the batting pace, while ther art other men, good hitters, too, who don't have the knack of leading the way. They hit well If the leader hits If the leader slumps, they slump too.
 The bell COW of the club doesn't necessarily have to be the top per- centage man on club, but he is the 1 man who does the damage when the vital moment comes. Dolf Camilli of the Dodgers is o typical case of a man who Is ranking in percent ages, but don't let anybody kid you that he hasn't been the pace-setter for his club the past few years. Johnny Mize of the Giants com binec high average with the other features of a leader. So do Enos Slaughter of the Cards, Ted Will Hams of the Red Sox, Joe DiMaggio of the Tanks.
 Since 1888, the bell COW of the Reds has been Frank Mccormick, their first sacker. Frank is topped in the runs batted in record of the past five years by only one man in the National league. Johnny Mize. Over the past two years, during which he is supposed to have slumped, Frank still rated only be- hind Mize and Camilli in the runs batted in figures. For the past two seasons, combined, Frank has driven home more runs than Mel Ott, Bill Nicholson, Pete Reiser, Bob Alliott, Enos Slaughter, etc.
 Mccormick is a leader, He paces the Reds attack, and in the past couple of seasons, the opposition has centered on stopping the big fel- low. They have pitched the men who were naturally hardest for 8 batter of McCormick's type to hit, and, unfortunately, the rest of the Cincinnati lineup was overloaded with right.hand hitters, so McCor- mick's weakness was also their weakness. The result was Q great falling of of the batting averages.
