 Soares Beats Ring Veteran
 Eddie Soares, 1854, of Provi- dence, gained another clear deci- sion, and a lot of experience, when he outpointed Tommy Bland, 162, of Boston, recently, in one of the Arcadia's eight-round bouts. Bland, a ring veteran, used all the tricks of the pugilistic trade, and his weight advantage, in a vain at tempt to defeat the Fox Pointer, but the tough, harp-punching Folkes 2 rhode island sports con Soares shook his opponent up re- peatedly with hard left hooks and punishing right-hand shots in close.
 The last round was action packed. Soares, with a great dis play of stamina, "opened up" mid way the round, and scorning any attempt by Bland to tie him up, drove the Boston fighter around the ring with a steady barrage of vicious hooks and uppercuts. Only the bell saved Bland, who at diff ferent stages of the match was warned for using unorthodox ring tactics.

Woman Manages Leading Nine

Detroit Business manager of the league leading Newark Eagles of the Negro National League is a woman, Mrs. Effa Manley, who has been in baseball for twelve years and is featured in an article in the September issue of Head lines and Pictures.
 It was not until her marriage to Abe Manley that she became ac- lively interested in baseball, ac- cording to the Headlines and Pic tures article. As woman in a field that has been almost con- pletely limited to men, Mrs. Man ley has been accepted as an equal by the men. "It's really surpris- ing - we often have joint meet ings of the two leagues and on rare occasions a woman may be there. But I'm usually the only woman and sometimes there are as many as twenty to thirty men. At first they may have thought it funny, but now they don't even consider Pm there as woman. Even during stormy sessions the gentlemen have always been nice
 Mrs. Manley says.
 Although relationships between the major leagues and Negro teams are cordial now Mrs. Man1ey be- lieves that Negro owners will soon rebel against the raiding of prom ising talent. The Negro teams de- serve some financial compensation for the loss of player whom they have discovered and trained, she told the Headlines and Pictures

Taber Game In Defeat 7
By Al Potter

Providence, R. I. - Although Oliver Desmarais hit him with right-hand smash to the head car rying such force as to spin him around and floor him, Martin Ta- Der, East Providence, arose from the canvas after three more knock downs before Referee Buonanno stopped the contest, the Arcadia's semi-fnal eight-rounder, in 1:50 of the fourth round.
 Taber held his own for the first three stanzas, winning the third handily when he shifted his attack to the body of the New Hampshire boxer. In the fourth, Taber had his opponent in neutral corner scoring with body blows. The ac- tion shifted to the center of the ring when Desmarais suddenly lashed out with the damaging blow. It was a blow that would have chilled most boxers, but Ta- Der definitely has a fighting heart let there be no doubt about it. Taber weighed 127, and Desmar- ais was, announced as weighing 133, although reliable sources claim that the exlGI has been fighting in Massachusetts, as a lightweight. Taber is feather weight. This bout is no indication that Desmarais is a better boxer. Taber simply made one of those mistakes, albeit costly, that make boxing the exciting attraction that it is. With respect for Desmtarais' right hand, he may reverse the de- clslon if they are matched again.
 Remember Martin had trouble with Jean Richard in their first bout, but won handily in the re- turn engagement.

Sporting Around
By Bennie T. Wood

Lou Montgomery and his Boston Blackhawks were very much dis appointed by the cancellation of their first football game, which was to be held at Carter Play ground and to be witnessed by the largest crowd ever seen there. Nearly three thousand persons were on hand to view the match, but were turned away by the news that the Readville AC could not fulfill their engagement. The Blackhawks, who were equipped with their bright yellow uniforms, gave the impatient crowd a small demonstration of their power by indulging in light tune-up. They are well-supplied with material, and they should develop into one of the greatest teams ever to per form on Carter Field. It. will be quite interesting to watch such stars as Lou Montgomery, Pete Tyler, Buster Wood, Moby Red dick, and others "strut their stuff'' on the gridiron.
 Another Team A-COming
 Another football team getting into shape flor the coming season are the Roxbury Partners, who can boast of being defeated only four times in the last four years. They are being strengthened by the number of returned GIs on their roster. Owing to the absence of Phil Medley, the team is coached by Franny Matthews and Wilbur Lucaw. This season the Panthers will be the first colored team to play in the big Park Department League. This means the boys will have to be at their best to main tain the reputation which they have achieved.

Revamped Invaders Playing
 Good Ball
 Providence, R. I. - The Provi- dence Invaders, riding the crest of a winning streak, are about the hottest team in the local circuit. Under the management of Jeff Coachman, they have emerged from the mass lethargy that en- eulfed them, and are now hustl- ing, bustling ball club.
 Perry Back To Old Stand
 Gene Perry, a good hitter, is back at his old position at third base. Gene learned his baseball as mascot of the Douglas AC team a few years back, and soon devel- oped into a crack third baseman. While overseas he decided to be- come second sacker, but he is off balance on that side of the diamond Now, back at the hot corner, he is once again showing his ability to move to his left after hard chances. With brother Bernard be hind the plate, and Varella, Dortch, and Venter doing the mound duty; Blue playing a steady first base, Fears and Johnson alternating at second, and Johnny Braxton at shortstop, the inner diamond is we'll taken care of.
 Braxton, Speed Merchant
 The moving of Johnny Braxton to shortstop is shot in the arm to the Invaders. What the young ster lacks in polish, he makes up in fight, and his ability to cover a lot of territory. As a base-run- ner he is always dangerous be cause of his fieetness of foot.
 Don Taylor has been. playing a stellar game in the outfeld along with Pete Hardy and Eddie Mar ley, a good man to have around when a base hit is needed.
 The team spirit of the Invaders is best exemplified by the words of outfelder Pete Hardy: "Veter- ans Luke Fears and Gene Perry keep less experienced Johnny Brax- ton steady with words of encour- agement. The Perry brothers keep
