BowIing-peopIe's sport?

tournaments have been held,
open to- all bowlers, regardless
of race, color or creed. A re-
gional tournament will be held
in Chicago April II. The fifth
International All American
Bowling Tournament is to be
held in Detroit April 3rd,
through May End.
Since UAW- Clio is the only
group at this time which has
carried an organized fight
against the policies of ABc.
from a practical viewpoint.
these tournaments should re-
ceive 100 per cent cooperation
from the fair minded local
bowler.
THE Committee on Fair Play
in Bowling, under many adj
verse circumstances, has done
magnificent job in attempt
ing to break down discrimin-
alton in the ABC. However, it
is time we faced it, this is not
their fight alone. 1t is the job
of every union, worker, and
citizen who calls himself an
American to see this battle to
the finish.
No doubt few w1ers
make their living at the game,
but to the majority it is a
means of companionable rec
reation and relaxation. 1t is up
to you and me to decide wheth-
er Elmer Baumgarten and a
few reactionaries can tell us
where. how, and with whom we
can bowl.
Can men who have fought
together, picketed side by side
and, yes, even starved togeth-
er, be told they can't bowl to-
gether?

BY AL VAUGHN

CPORT publications have
y always agreed that
bowling is Americas No. l
participant indoor sport.
On the average of once a
week between ter and fifteen
million keglers lace up their
Bowling shoes, winoup and fly,
more oft with enthusiasm than
accuracy, at the 1-3 pocket. ,
In this age of tremendously
increased prices compared to
slightly increased wages it is
rot difficult to visualize bowl
ing as the only recreation the
mass /of workers can afford.
Consequently, any time five
workers get together, to shoot
the bull, something is going to
be said about who bowled what
last night and why.
IT WOULD seem to follow
that the majority of workers in
America, regardless of ce,
creed, or color, would have one
thing in common; namely, an
interest in bowling and the mu-
tual experiences derived from
participation in>the sport. Let's
see if this is necessarily So"
On September 8, 1895, the
American Bowling Congress
? was organized. Supposedly, its
purpose was to rid bowling of
the gambling element and at
the same time see to it that
ten pin bowling found its
proper niche in American
sporting life.
Some So years later, after
our country has engaged in two
great wars with white, yellow
and black soldiers fighting side
by side to save the world for

Sports roundup
3 defeats and Stays
drop from first place

The once proud Chicago Stays
were knocked out of first place in
the final standings of the Western
Division of the B.A.A. when they
dropped an 1910 decision to the
Western Division winners the St.
Louis Bombers. 1t was the Stays
third straight defeat in four nights.
With four minutes gone in the
second half the Stays seemed to
have the game well in hand as
they lead $40. Then the roof fell
in and the entire Chicago team
collapsed as ST. Louis scored %
points before a Stag could dent
the netting.
In the final game of the night
the 16,416 fans who had made
the long trek to the house of sports
on Madison st. watched the fabu-
louS clowns of basketball, the
Harlem Globe Trotters, defeat a
weak and inept New York Celtic
team 51-36.
The Trotters made drab game
interesting with their trick ball
handling and amusing Snowman
ship for which they are famous
throughout the world.

Saturday night.
The Panthers crushed East
Rockford by the biggest score
ever made in a championship

The big team from the little
town is said to be one of the best
that has ever appeared in the
Tournament.
Marshall High, the Chicago en-

finals when they were defeated
by the runner-up, East Rockford.
The score was STAG.

Drama of fixed fights, grisly mis-
Matchmaking of pugs resulting in
terrific beatings, even in deaths.
OF half-blind, punchtipsy human
wrecks still allowed to ply their
suicidal trade. Consider the gang
ster fight managers who con-
trolled-and still do-many if not
most fighters and thus the phony
outcome of scraps, including title
affairs. And consider, too, the
greedy promoters who grabbed
fighting's juicy profits. All flour
ish under boxing commissions.
Commissioners always have
worked more for the promoter
and his profits than for the pub
lie or the fighter. Medical exam
nations of fighters have been a
farce. Daily, physical misfits,
brain-addled, one-eyed, patched
up pugs have been hustled into
suicidal action.

Take John Henry Lewis and
Harry Greb. Both were sightless
in ono o1ra II, No1.r V0rl> 1oo34lo..
John Henry in that state went
forth to a swift kayo from Joe
Louis. Greb was blind in one eye,
yet fought some six years thus
handicapped, including his COM
bats with Gene Tunney in New
York. Somehow no boxing COM
nish doctor ever detected Harry's
misfortune. Comnish doctors, like
Greb, lived off the profits of
fighting.
RECENTLY two fighters were
killed, within a few hours, in
Chicago and California rings.
Neither had been in tit cono1-
ton to fight. A sudden franuc par
rage of ''clean up boxing laws
hammered at our legislative halls.
All the suggestions were good.
Rigidiy enforced, they could aim-
inish fighting's unpublished crimes,
soften its inherent barbarity.
Can such miracle come to
pass under commission misruIe
after all these years? Well, posi-
bly,. Fear might do it. Political
fear of the boxing racket being
legally killed.
Personally, l don't see enough
fear while an ~ex- illinois boxing

Triner hasn't the new look that

THIS biased organization,

from bowling in its tournament

has also tried to bar Negro and
