Sullivan the Best

Sheehy got $5,OOO-his larg-
est purSe-for fighting Britt,
and SO confident was he of
victory that he saved out only
train fare home and bet the
rest on himself. Most of the
purses were small in those
days-frequently $l0O, with
SIS for the winner and $25
for the loser.
A ringside l33-pounder in
his fighting days, from 1901
to 1909, the 66-year-old
Sheehy still is hard-muscled,
erect and tit at l42 pounds.
His hair is gray, and he wears
glasses to read small type, but
he still does good days work
as an active steamfitter with
Standard Engineer Co. On
fight nights, he's an inspector
for the Boxing Commission,
watching over a parade of
ambitious youngsters who. if
only they realized it, could
learn plenty about skilled
boxing from the little gray
man in the corner.
Today's fighters, Sheehy
laments, aren't in the same
class with most of the old
timers. They don't do the
stiff training that used to be
considered essential. A few
rounds of sparring and a bit
of bag punching and shadow
boxing, and they call it a day.
Why. we used to do 10 or Is
miles Of running when train
ing for a fight, and we were
sparring all the time" he
recalls. We had to be in
shape for 20 or IS round
fights. Most of the fighters
today would give out long be-
fore that, and 10 rounds is a
main event now.
They jump around too
much now. Maybe it's the
style now. but we used to
stand up there and fight. To-
day. a fighter with a left jab
and right cross is considered
right fancy, but you should
see some of the real fancy
boys we had in the old days.
They'd walk up there and
stand up to you, and the first
thing you knew. you were on
the floor. And you'd never
see the punch that hit you"
Evening star., 1946-10-06
By GEORGE HUBER

WASHINGTON has pro-
w duced some good fighters
since boxing was legaliZed
here in 1884, but the greatest
of all local ringmen is an
old -timer-Harry Sheehy of
6l8 Kenyon street NV. He
fought under the name of Kid
Sullivan in the days when the
fight game was emerging from
the era of bootleg bouts and
backroom brawlS.
Kid Sullivan, the old timers
say. was one of the best light
weights ever to step through
the ring ropes. with a left
hook that was a masterpiece
Of speed, precision and power.
He fought Battling Nelson,
Abe Attell. Young Corbett,
Unk Russell. Tommy Lowe,
Young Erne, Jimmy Britt and
other topnotchers of the early
l900S, and beat most of them.
The 1905 picture of Sheehy,
taken when he was training
for his big fight in San Fran
cisco against Britt. shows him
as a handsome, black haired
Irish lad who, today, would
be a great favorite with the
ladies. But ladies weren't
attending prize fights in those
days. Sheehy. incidentally,
lost to Britt in 20 rounds after
breaking his left hand in the
second. Heinie Miller, now
chairman of the District Box
ing Commission who saw that
fight. says: If ever there was
a hometown decision, that
was it. The Kid, broken. hand
and all, won from here to
Haiti"
That was a particularly
tough one for Sheehy to lose,
as Joe Cans, then champion,
was having trouble making
the weight and had wanted
to give" the title to Sheehy
if he beat Britt. But Britt
got the nod, and later Cans,
unwilling to see any one ex-
cept Sheehy inherit" the
title, contracted tuberculosis
while taking of weight to
fight Battling Nelson, and
that helped bring about his
untimely death.

politics, HASTE has been associated
with the National Citizens PAC,
the Southern Conference for HUI
man Welfare and NAACP, all OF
which are targets Of reactionaries
in congress. Sen. Tydings, chairman
of the senate committee conducting
the investigation, is said to oppose
Hastie solely on the grounds that he
was backed by Liberalist Harold
Ickes.
Congressman Dawson of Illinois,
who openly opposed Hastie's noml-
nation for the federal bench, has not
been notably active for his confirm
alton to the Virgin Islands post.
Authoritative sources declare that
the Republicans will not support
Hastie because they know the ef-
feet on voting of his appointment,
but will not oppose him if the issue
is pressured into action.

HOUSE p0LL-TAxER5
TO FIGHT BILL

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25 (ANP)
When the anti-poll tax bill comes
before the house, the bitter fights
of six years ago will be repeated
and southern congressman will be
using all of their wiles and tricks
to block it's passage. However in the
house, fortunately debate can be
limited. This prevents filibustering.
Remaining as one of the chief and
bitter opponents of the poll-tax bill
will be the ever present professional
southerner, John Rankin. When the
bill came up six years ago, it was
introduced by Congressman Lee
Geyer of California. Congressman
Geyer died before the bill came be-
fore the house for debate, much to
the regret of the bills supporters.
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1946-03-25

and intelligent.
At that time, Mr.. Geyer in an ad-
dress to the house said on Aug. %,
when we are talking these days
about reaching down into the eight
southern states and taking those
young men and putting them into
uniform, let us first give them a lit
tie democracy for which they can
fight. There are about 8, 100000 col
ored people without the vote and
seven million white people without
the vote in these southern states. l
hope my colleagues on my right (re-
ferring to the Democrats) will do
something to clean this thing up
that exists in our own democratic
one party states"
In reply Rankin said, 'This bill
will never become a law as all we'll
informed members of the house
know. But l am getting tired of
having a few members rise on this
floor and make these misleading
statements without regard to the
facts or the feelings of the rest of
the membership.
'They are constantly telling the
country that only a few thousand
voters go to the polls in Mississippi
or in other southern states then
pointing out the number of their
representatives in the house, or try
to leave the impression that only
few people are permitted to partici-
pate in selecting their members of
congress or other officials.
"Now as a matter of fact, in
states where there is only one party
as in the case of Mississippi, and
practically all other southern states,
our battles are settled in the pri-
maries, and there is no opposing
vote in the general election. There
fore, the vote in the general cleo
tion is very light"
On the same date an article from
the New York Post was inserted in
the Congressional Record which
said:
'In 1893 when the last vote for
new congressman was counted, it
was estimated that one representa-
tive from the city of Chicago re-
ceived $4,000 more votes than all
the 32 congressman from the eight
poll tax states put together.
The fight dragged through sew
eral months in 1910 and 1941 the bill
finally being killed in the senate,
The senate committee holding hear
ings on the bill included Joseph c.
O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Tom Con-
nally of Texas, Murdock of Utah.
All except George w. Norris are
still in the senate and it is more than
probable that any bill on the poll
tax would come before the group
again.

HASTE CONFIRMATION FACES
HITCH; MORE SUPPORT NEEDED

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25 (ANP)
Senate confirmation of the recent
appointment of William H. HASTE
as governor of the Virgin Islands,
seemed uncertain here because of a
lack of political support for the for
mer Virgin Islands judge. Hastie,
dean of the Howard University Law
school and the first Negro civilian
aide to the Secretary of War, has
consistently refused to play poll
tics, and has received every govern
mental appointment thus far on his
merit alone.
Although he is backed by many
liberal groups, as we'll as the power
full New York Association of Native
Virgin Islanders, and is known to
be the choice of resident islanders
if they could vote to choose their
own governor, HASTE last week in a
hearing before a senate sub-commit-
tee had to face opposition of Sena-
tor Eastland of Mississippi. The
Mississippi Democrat sniped at the
newly appointed interior depart
ment's secretary, Krug, who hailed
HASTE as "an outspoken and distin-
guished American" and "an ideal
candidate from the Virgin Islands
viewpoint"
"He has what no other governor
ever had at the start of his term: a
knowledge of the people, the area,
and it's social and economic prob
lems." This was gained when Has
tie served as judge of the Virgin
Islands. He is married to a native
islander whom he met during his
term there.
Capitol Hill rumors are that, un-
less pressure is brought to bear,
Hasite's name may be withheld
from the senate. The senate insular
affairs committee had no informa-
ton last week as to a time when the
nomination made by President Tru-
man more than two months ago may
be considered. Candidates for nine
important posts have been con-
firmed in the interim.
Sen. Brewster (Rep., Maine)
took sides with Sen. Eastman dur
ing the hearing, and questioned
Hastie on his social and economic
views. Though an Independent in

Possible Replacement
In Conference 7

CHICAGO, March eP)-The
University of Chicago a charter
member and once a dominating
power under Alonzo Amos Stage,
today withdrew from the 50-year-
old Big Ten conference because OF
athletic impotency.
Long expected, the withdrawal
Of the Faded Maroons, whose
halycon past held seven undisputed
conference football championships,
equalled only by Minnesota's mod
ern Gophers, paved the way for
a possible new member.
The withdrawal was announced
at a meeting of conference athletic
directors by T. Nelson Metcalf,
Chicago athletic director, but final
action on the move awaits the
spring meeting CT the conference
faculty representatives at Cham.
paign, ILL.,, May 30-31. The Ma.
rooms will compete until the end
Of the school year.
At that time, also formal DELHI
erations are expected on possible
replacement of the Maroons. The
athletic directors SHE'D away from
the subject after expressing "deep
and sincere" regrets at Chicago's
departure, but pressure was ex-
pected soon from midwestern in.
dependents long anxious to join the
Big Ten.
Named frequently as conference
prospects ever since Maroon aIh'
letics hit the skids after Stages

schools as Pittsburgh, Nebraska,

+ WASHINGTON, March s-tP)-A
nationwide athletic program will
pay an important part in the long

The Veterans Administration to-
day announced newly-formulated
plans along this line with James e

physical program.
Men with athletic backgrounds
will be employed as instructors at
veterans hospitals in various parts
of the country on this preference
basis: 1-disabled veterans; Q
other veterans; 3-civil service ap-
plicants.
No estimate was made on the
number. of jobs that will be avail
able but it probably will run into
the hundreds. More than 100 vet

An athletic administrator or di-
rector will be appointed for each
of the 10 district headquarters at
Boston, New York, Seattle, San

The program will be highly per-
