Book Review

Blues For The Prince" a RED
badge mystery by Bart Spicer. has
just been published by Dodd, Mead
and Company, New York. .g
The author tells in a very fasci-
mating way the story of the death
jazz and blues composer, who was
killed in the studio of his own pala-
tial home. AS newspapers carried
the news from coast to coast, ugly
rumors conspired to ruin the repu-
tation of the Prince. IN gla.
DIR. Larry Owens, fiance of Mar
tha,, the Princes daughter, en-
ploys the services of Carney Wilde,
private Investigator who had rea-,
sons to doubt the story Of how the
prominent. Negro artist met his
death. In unravelling the mystery
wilde kept an eye single on the
near relatives Of The Prince. He
skiilfully followed the thread Of evil
dence from Nanny Brenner's Hot
Box night club, to the bedside of
the Princes aged father. to Hollie
Gray's saloon, to the Arabella JOS
lin. and finally back to the Princes
where the deed was done.

The story is filled with human in
terest. Love, hatred, fisticuffs, de-
ceit, ETC., are prominent, and, too,
a bit of that philosophy which some
colored folk express so freely when
one of their number seems to have
the respect Of other folk. is there.
The composition is good and the
book sells for $3.50.

Better Get Juniors
Birth Certificate
Now WI

Parents who will be entering
children in school for the first time
next September are advised they can
make the job easier by obtaining
birth certificates for their children
in advance.
The helpful hint to parents came
today from Everett williams direc-
tor of the FLORIDA state Board Of
Health Bureau of Vital Statistics in
Jacksonville.
Children entering Florida public
schools for the first time" Williams
continued, ARE required to present
a birth registration card or a photo
static copy of their birth certificate
in order to prove their age"
Every year, many parents wait
until the last minute to obtain this
proof of age and as a result they do
not have it when school opens. The
Bureau of Vital Statistics, which
operates as Florida State Board
of Health responsibility, is anxious
to give prompt service to all per-
sons who request a copy of birth
records. To avoid the Aug. and Sep.
TENDER rush" it is suggested that
parents send for their child's birth
certificate now"
Applications for birth records of
children born in Florida should be
made to the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics. Florida State Board Of Health,
Jacksonville. Florida. The required
fee is one dollar for searching rec.
ords and preparing the certificate.
Applications, Williams added, should
contain the following information:
childs name, birth date, birthplace,
fathers name, mothers maiden
name. sex and race. Application
blanks may be obtained from Coun.
ty health departments and local reg.
istrars of vital statistics.
Two types Of birth records are
available, both acceptable to schools
/ They include the birth registration
card, which contains enough infor
nation for the purpose, and the
photostatic copy of the original
birth certificate. Issuance of photo
static copies is restricted by Florida
law to the registrant if of the lega
age Of II years, and to parents
guardians, or other legal represent
atives.

Civil Rights-A
Human Sacrifice

BY HARRY LEVETTE FOR AMP
Like that nude maiden of mythology
Bound to rock to wait the hide.
Gus death
That soon will come, when shrieking
birds of prey
Tear out her vitals, ere has ebbed
her breath;
So, on the soaring rock Of Prejudice
Measures for Civil Rights are
doomed to die
While helpless stand lawmakers we
have placed
And all Democracy is asking
"why?"
Why, can the enemies of race and
state,
Be thus permitted to decide her
fate?"

Dempsey on the causes for the
decline of the fight game, which
the ex-champ said is dead" "
And this is why Dempsey ex-
planned:
Boys haven't come into the
game lately as you'd expect.
Jobs have been plentiful and
living too easy. You have to be
hungry to really fight"
Dempsey knows whereof he
speaks as he literally fought to
eat and live. We aren't speak
ing of the plush days after he
won the worlds title but of the
early days. The story is that
Dempsey once fought 10 fearful
rounds for 81, and though he
won the bout, didn't get the
purse.
SO he and his opponent, equal
ly broke and hungry, teamed up
and went transforming where
ever they coud pick a few bucks.
A rugged school, but it pro-
duced what many consider the
greatest of all fighters.

After the Cotton Costner
fight in the Sports Arena
many of the fans were quick to
tell you Charlie was being
brought along too fast and not
yet ready for top-notch competi-
ton. Well Costner proved Cot
ton is ready for the best by wal
Looping the lightweight king,
who was rated along with Ray
Robinson as the two best fight
ers-pound for pound-in the
ring today.
It is true Costner defeated
Cotton quite decisively but
nevertheless he didn't give the
Toledoan the battering he ad-
ministered to Williams. And if
Williams isn't considered one of
the best, who is?
We are not trying to tell you
Cotton would have an easy time
beating the lightweight champ
but from the outcome of the two
fights 1t is quite evident Charlie
could hold his own against most
of the top-rated boxers in his
weight.
In any case Cotton has made
remarkable strides in the ring
for a fellow who has had less
than 80 professional fights in his
life.

Browns, tops in the old ALL
America League, will match
tricks with the Green Bay
Packers, for many years one of
the best eleyens in the pro
game.
The game will be played Aug.
IL in the Glass Bowl under the
sponsorship of the Times We'll
fare Fund which has promoted
several outstanding sporting
events here in the last few years.
In the past the game has been
played by two teams in the ALL
America loop but now that the
two leagues have merged it is
possible to have a club from
each. So the game will not only
offer an evening of entertain
ment but give fans chance to
compare the leagues.

of one year. After considerable
discussion, applications fro m

sibility of a new league being
formed to include Troy, Marion,
Louisville, and Huntington W.
Virginia.
Toledo's returning to the In
ternational League after years

key League is expected to be
popular with Toledo and area
fans. Both previous years in the
international Hockey League,
Toledo played to capacity
crowds at the Sports Arena
with hundreds of fans following
the team to Detroit and Wind
sor. The team won the league
b o t h years but
found stiff competition. Last
year after winning the Eastern
Hockey League title the Buck
eyes were eliminated in the US.
Semi finals by the Chatham Ma

nights with the season getting

Combine For
Pitching

Pitcher Harold Geer and Dick
Wilhelm combined to defeat the
Sylvania Merchants in a feud
game between the former Syl-
vania players now ON the Local
IL squad, Z to 6. Supporting his
two team mates was catcher Ur-
ban Edinger.
Pete Severhof proved to be
the man with the big bat in get
ting two for four, both being
singles. His second bingle drove
in what proved to be the winning
run. Cob Pinciotti who scored
on Pete's single also stole home
along with Seymour Kander to
provide the feature highlights
of the game.
All of the former Sylvania
ballplayers looked very good
against their former teammates;
Urban Edinger, Elwood Edinger,
manager Carl Damico and pitch
er Dick Wilhelm, Dick relieved
Hrold Geer in the fourth inning
and held his former teammates
to two hits for the remainder of
the game.

The secret of bass fishing is
to hunt out the weed beds
