Van Horn doesn't think the

see a series Of tournaments

Don't try to tell Welby Van
Horn that Bill Tilden was the
worlds greatest tennis player
because the tall. handsome net
pro won't listen. After all,
didn't he whip the old guy for
the national pro crown in 1915?
"I'd pick Don Budge." he said.
@Budge at his peak was the
best, although Jack Kramer
isn't bad. But this is like
arguing whether Louis was bet
ter than Dempsey. Ben Hogan
better than Bobby Jones. or
Citation better than Man o.
War. I merely make the point
that every sport has improved
In the technique Of teaching
the game, that modern equip
ment is better, and that the
current crop of athletes should
be better in all sports"
Kramer gets no extraordinary
rating with Welby because Jack
had a tough time beating Van
Horn In five gruelling sets for
the pro title last year. Out Of
10 games. Jack won 81 to Van
Horns 36, and in the fourth
set Welby had the champ at
match point and let the title get
away from him. But that's all
behind the baseline now. Van
Horn is more interested in pro-
noting the game because 1t
happens to be part of his job
with a sporting goods manu-
facturer.
Tomorrow afternoon he'll be

NEGROES BUY NEGRO PAPERS
70 FIND OUT WHATS
HAPPENING TO THEIR PEOPLE

Horace CaytOn In the Pittsburgh
Courier
This week I received another
letter protesting about the Negro
press.
II was from a liberal white who
really believes that he Is a friend
Of the Negroes. He may be, and
l don't doubt his sincerity, but he
certainly does rot understand
why the Negro press Is as It Is,
or the function 1t serves. To that
end I want TO say q few words.
My friend says that Negro
papers "color-angle" everything.
That, indeed Is one Of its chief
functions. This press reports the
incidents 1t covers from the stand
point Of their interest to thirteen
million Negroes.
II there Ia q circus fire In
Hartford, Conn, these readers
want to know II any Negroes
were Involved. They have al
ready gotten the general facts
from the daily press. A Negro
buys a Negro paper to find out
what happens to Negroes, and
II these are strong stories 70 tell,
he wants them served up strong.
The second function Is to inter-
pref the news. This Is done by edi-
torials, columns, cartoons. On all
important issues the question
arises in the Negroes mind, How
will this affect me a. a black
man." II we are preparing for
war the Negro looks to his paper
to tell him how he win be affected.
Explicitly or implicitly. every
news story, column, or editorial
gives the cOIOred reader some
OrientatiOn about what h hap
penInE to him a. q Negro.
Because the Negro press serves
these two functions, It differs
from the white press. II Is not that
it does not report news, but what
constitutes news for Negroes IL
different. The Negro paper Is like
the New York Times in reporting
news that Is not given elsewhere
and It Is similar to the Nation and
the New Republic in interpreting

Whats The

Lots Of people worry. but It's
all unnecessary. What do they
worry about? Well, the country is
on the verge Of strikes that affect
two million workers, and besides
that we are In a cold war with
Russia.
A wise old man gave me some
advice about worrying and why It
lS not necessary.
He said. IT you get sick what
la there to worry about? You'n
either get well or you'll die. II you
get well there's nothing to worry
about. II you die your earthly
worries are over. So why worry.
think the old man was right.
So l don't worry about the strikes
that are coming up. II the unions
strike well have to get along with
out coal and Ford cars and steel
for a while, but wen get along like
we did during the war. So why
worry?
The strikers will either win or
they'n lose. II they win they'll get
more money. II they lose. after a
long time they'll 90 back to work
and try to catch up in the next
couple Of years what they lost by
not working, SO they have nothing
to worry about.
The cold war with Russia con-
tinues, but why worry? II It
doesn't break out into n fighting
war there Is nothing to worry
about; II II does get US into q real
war we win win or lose. II we
win what Is there to worry about?
II we lose, most Of US won't be
here to see what happens and our
worries win be over. So what is
there TO worry about Tho Bisbee

to its readers the world in which
they live.
Negro papers, then, are supple
mentary papers. Most hterate
colored people read the daily
press, and certainly the entire re-
porting and commenting on news
events in the Negro press presup-
poses that they do.
This supplementary information
and Interpretation - this color
angling" - is a logical by-pro-
duct of the Negroes role in
America, for he lives in two
worlds - the world of the larger
community and the smaller world
Of the black ghetto.
There has been much criticism
Of the racial nature of the Negro
newspaper. My friend thinks that
1t whips up the resentment of
Negroes, thereby causing racial
friction. Actually, Of course, the
Negro press does not create the
antagonism and resentment which
one finds so current among the
Negro masses today.
Negro papers are highly com
Petitive, probably more so than
white papers, as the market Is
smaller and the news sources
more limited. Rather than play.
Ing the role Of agitatOrs, they
arc constantly competing to fur.
nIsh the Negro people what they
want.
As Dubois has stated, what
they are really expressing is the
intensity Of feeling and resent
ment which is sweeping over the
Negro people"
Other critics overlook the So
cially useful service Of the Negro
press as q safety valve. The in
dignities and injustices which
Negroes suffer in this country
have stirred up deep resentment,
and airing them in the press fur
nishes q sort OF catharsis for
people who can take no other
action.
II Is hard for most white people
to understand Just how important
and useful the Negro press Is to
colored people. Many become
frightened when they read it for
the first time.
They become frightened because
perhaps they realize for the first
time the amount of injustice heap
ed on black men and how resent
full these men are.
So to the white reader the Ne
gro press has a function. Like my
friend, they are learning, through
