AS Is usual MisSissippfs dele
CATION headed by the veteran Per-
ry w. Howard will be the largest
group of Negroes. Howard will have
four delegates and five alterfiates
providing they are not thrown out
as a result of a contest which Is
a foregone conclusion.
Four other states Illinois, Louis
lana, Michigan and New York, VIII
send two delegates each. One dele
gate will come from these states:
Arkansas, Kansas, Maryland, Mis-
souri,, Pennsylvania and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Sevan states which are not send
ing Negro delegates are, however,
sending alternates. They are Cali
fornia, Florida, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee and West
Virginia.
Apart from Mississippi, contests
are anticipated in seating the
Florida, Georgia, Missouri and
Tennessee delegations. Perhaps the
more important will be Mississippi
and Georgia. In both the black
and tan group will be opposed by
lily-white elements.
One old-time political observer
here who chose to remain unid'en-
tilted, bemoaned the drop in the
number of Negro delegates attend
ing the convention. "We did
much better in 1910 than we are
doing now" he said. eve have
no one from Ohio, no one from
West Virginia, and only one from
Missouri whereas before we had
three.
"Colored votes are going to set
tie this election. There will be
four or five million Negro votes
this year."
Opinion here is that Negro dele
gates will favor John w. Bricker
of Ohio. I'VE can't accept Gov.
Dewey" was one comment. Look
what he did on that State FEPC.'
Howard will be member of the
important credentials committee
and will try to have his "24-year-
old" opponents knocked out. DR..
Redmond, also from Mississippi,
will have a seat on the resolutions
committee.

At a foreign press conference
where the minister of information,
Brandon Bracken, M. P, presided,
question was raised about A1f1a-
rican Negro soldiers and the min
lister replied thus: Where l am
living in the country there are a
great many Negro soldiers billet
ed around me. They behave them
selves admirable and I like them
very much. And I can tell you
that they are very popular in the
neighborhood especially among the
children who surround them for
their autographs"
1t is a generally accepted fact
that American Negro soldiers are
extremely kind to English children.
Their sweet rationS and other deli
cacies are given over to the kids.
They also take them out for walks
and keep protective vigilance over
them
In some poor families these
colored boys have even contribut-
ed money to help the meagre re-
sources of the children. The chill
dren, no less than their parents,
have come to understand and de-
velop kind of family affection for
the American colored soldiers.
l reproduce letter published in
the Daily Telegraph under the
heading polite Negroes" Sir-"I
should like to record and acknow-
ledge the outstanding and unfail-
ing courtesy shown by the Negro
lorry- drivers serving in this
country. Both as a cyclist in this
pedestrian I have been impressed
by the fact that, where they have
taken over, it is no longer neces-
sary to take refuge on the grass
verge when service lorry ap-
pears; also by their readiness to
pull up altogether when the slight
est congestion of traffic appears
likely. These fine men are con-
tributing considerably to the safe
ty of the roads and are setting an
example which I hope may be
learnt by our own and the white
American drivers. Yours faithful
ly, Sherborfe. K. Noel Weston"

Bettina, Hart Signed
For Turner Program

Best heavyweight fight here since
Joe Louis met Buddy Baer was seen
in Joe Turner's announcement to-
day that he had signed Melio Bet
tina for 10-rounder with AL Hart
the night of June 81 at Griffith Sta
dium.
Bettina, former light-heavyweight
champ, before the war was rated
second to Billy Conn as a heavy
weight title contender. Melio fought
two split decision bouts with Billy
the Kid and was next in line for
Louis after Conn had a crack at the
big fellow. Bettina has chalked up
a brilliant record in the heavy di-
vision, after giving up the idea of
trying to make ITS pounds for the
light-heavies
Hart, an Army War College SOL
dier, fought Joe Baksi to a draw.
He has goodly bulge in weight over
Melio.
It's quite job Turner and Match
maker Gabe Menendez did in bring
ing the attraction to Washington.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pitts
burgh promoters were trying to close
the fight, but the Turner -Menendez
team put up the heaviest cash and
the best argument in front of JIM
my (the Eye Grippe, Bettina's S
manager.
The Eye is noted as a hypnotist
and his tactics in the ring and out
have caused a deal of merriment in
the fight world.

Byrd Five Under Par
Pacing First Round

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-He may
be bit too old for baseball. but he's
young enough to give sop-f1ight

lesson-this Sam Byrd, who, back in
1887, quit roaming the outfield for
the New York Yankees.

the rugged par-71 layout of the
Torresdale- -Frankford Country Club.
Once known as a f1y-catcher de
luxe, Byrd was catching brides
yesterday as he clipped par by five
strokes with Sc, which was good
enough for a two-stroke edge at the
quarter mark in the 72-hole medal
play test.
His putter working like magic
wand, Byrd birdied six of the last
nine holes for a 81 coming in, the
best finish ever recorded over this
rolling terrain.
Two strokes back was Bob Ham
ilton of Evansville, Ind, winner of
the North-South Open at Pinehurst,
the eX-caddy having a 32-36-68.

pean theater and q golden gloves
boxer and football player in his
school days, went to bat today for
competitive sports, declaring that he
might not have survived his 102
sorties without an athletic back
ground.
Everybody knows, he said, that
the American way in sports teaches
team play, but what a fellow
doesn't realize until a German bears
down on his tail is that he has
learned never to give up"
Fighting those ferries Is Just like
playing football game" said the

with 81 kills" to his credit. "And
who wants to be on losing team?
You go on trying because you never
can tell when you'll get a break"
That was the way johnson felt
last June 26 when his plane was so
badly shot up over Germany that
he really got scared for the first
time in my life," but he refused to
give up, and somehow brought his
Thunderbolt back to English soil.
"The way I figure 1.-THE way you
learn In our sports-is that the other
guy is no better than you are" the
Lawton (Okla.) youth said
johnson gained his sports training
at Lawton High School and Cam
eron College.
Americans began to find out about
a year ago that the Germans
couldn't absorb any more punish
ment than any one else, he said.
I'VE began to sense that we were
softening them up" Johnson related.

fishing in the lower reaches of the

ing in the centers and tails of the
pools where the water is shallow.
This makes for difficult fly fishing,

onto the track after the seventh
race and jeered the stewards after
the latter had disqualified the Oak
Tree Farms Bayport, winner by a
length, in favor of the popular Us
choice, Jim Cars Seven Hills.
That ruling followed when Jockey
Rocco Sisto, up on Seven Hills.
claimed foul on grounds that
Bayport cut from the outside to the
rail coming out of the starting gate.
forcing the other six riders to pull
up to avoid a pile-up.
The disturbance held up the start
OF the eighth race for 80 minutes.
Before police reserves, who made
four arrests, herded the crowd of
the track, the horses in the eighth
race attempted to parade to the
starting gate. That sight added fuel
to the crowds ire, and some of the
disturbers swarmed over the gate as
others pushed 1t off the track into
its infield slot. Meanwhile the
track was showered with debris.
During the delay. the jockeys in
the eighth race dismounted and
walked their mounts until the gate
was replaced by the starting crew.
Soon after the outbreak, the tracks
pari-mutuel plant was closed, and
when it reopened for the eighth

total of s115,500 for the previous
