Wakefield Changes Mind,

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 27-
Dick Wakefield is putting his
pride in his pocket and heading

years ago.
Dick agreed yesterday - still
with some reluctance-to abide by
the New York Yankees sale of
his 17.000-a-year contract to the
Oakland Oaks of the Pacific
Coast League.
1t was a man -to-man talk with
Baseball Commissioner A. B.

change his mind after saying for
weeks he would quit baseball be-
fore going down to the minors.
He said he would leave for the
West Coast within 48 hours

promoter Mike Jacobs. The only
thing wrong with the boxing game
today is the lack of good fighters
of any color, Jacob insists.
"Some people are using the race
issue to divert the peoples attent-
ion from their own inability to
correct current mistakes and to
make needed improvements in box
ing" adds the famous fight pro-
moter in a signed article in the
May issue of Ebony magazine.
Jacobs, now retired and living
in Miami, says the article, "Have
Negroes Killed Boxing" repre-
sents his first opportunity to
speak "my mind onthis critical is
sue."
He points out that, while the
number of Negro boxers is above
the one-in-ten proportion to be-
expected from the size Of the Ne
gro population in the country,
"there are only three Negro cham
pions in the existing eight divis-
ions: The heavyweight, welter-
weight and lightweight groups.
Cranky, I am surprised that
Negroes do not hold more cham
pionships than they do. 1t is my
conviction that Negroes are way
ahead of white boxers and are
really the big factor keeping box
ing alive today. They train much
harder than white boys, and then,
coming from an underprivileged
background, they learn early in
life that one must fight hard to
survive. That's why we have so
many fine young colored boxers
coming up today; and, that's why
boxing should be tremendously in
debted tothe Negro race for pro-
ducing so many great fighters"

For AMP
Arguments and Implements
Neither the Negro race nor the
nation has fully recovered from
the sudden and tragic death of
James Weldon johnson in a rail
way crossing accident a few years:
ago. The life of the race and
nation have not been exactly
the same since his untimely' pass
ing. There was left a void that
has not been completely filled
however heroically our leadership
has tried to carry on. There are
certain losses that a people can
not replace and such was the loss
sustained in the passing Of men
like James Weldon johnson.
And now to make a tragedy
more tragic we must add the I'M
timely taking of DR.. Charles Drew
one of the brightest luminaries in
the armament of medical science.
For him to have persisted in an
automobile accident makes even
more lamentable the story Of his
passing. What is nor it is said
that he was trying to help his
less fortunate associates when he
decided to drive to Tuskegee on
that ill-fatd occasion. OF course,
no higher tribute could be paid
him than that he died for others
even as his Master had died. That
it all occurred during the Easter
season lends q touch of sacred
drama tothe whole tragic affair.
His researches that resulted in the
blood bank, of such great i'm
portance in medical practice and
surgery, made him a benefactor
of mankind.
1t seems doubly tragic that the
sun of his usefulness set when it
was shining in it's meridian splen-
dor. Only God knows what hap
pens when a life that saved mil
lions Of other lives, like a candle
is blown out while chill peeped
over hill and Alps on Alps" of in
finite usefulness arose. It is in
the cessation of such a life as
DR.. Drew's that makes us long
for eternity and for the Great
somewhere in which the cruel
fates Of our present lives shall be
forever banished.
1t is men like DR.. Drew that
give the race standing in the eyes
of the world; for it matters not
how valid our argument, unless i,
is supplemented by characters like
DR.. Drew ond others of his emin'
ence and usefulness, our pleas fol

athletics with it's Joe Louis and
it's Jackie Robinson and all the
rest. Our argument for f~ull-fledg-
ed citizenship is powerfully i'm
plemented in the life of a Charles
Drew.
The recent passing of Carter G..
GWoodson, added to the tragedy of
DR.. Drew's untimely leave-taking,
bringing another staggering blow
to the Negro race and nation.
When DR.. Woodson folded tent
and stole away he left a rae and
the world tremendously enriched
by his having lived and served two
generations. DR.. Woodson is easily
the foremost historian of the Ne
gro race and has done more than
any other to create a race-con-
seriousness for the Negroes past.
He more than any other proved by
his researches that the Negro race
has a great past.
1t is true his works were re-
jected in some quarters as SO much
propaganda, but reduced to their
last analysis DR.. Woodson's writ
ings and his researches have blaz-
ed a trial of his torical interest
that will last as long as written
records survive among men. DR..
Carter G. Woodson by his histori-
cal approach has placed upon the
Negroes tongue some powerful
arguments for full-fledged citizen
enship rights. Knowing as we do
the roots of the present are to be
found in the past, the greatest as
surance that there will be a great
tomorrow is that there was a
great yesterday. 1t would be diff
ficult to believe in the Negroes
great tomorrow unless there had
been a great yesterday.
DR.. Woodson gave tothe Negro
race its yesterday even though
we know that its tomorrow is in
our keeping. The Negro race
owes DR.. Woodson a great debt
of gratitude and so the nation and
the cause of history. The loss of
history. The loss of such able man
troubles this writer greatly and
even while writing this release the
phone rings and tells me that DR..
Luther P. Jackson of Virginia
State College has passed suddenly.
He was without doubt DR.. Wood
sons logical successor, for he
seemingly more than any other
was imbued with DR.. Woodson's
spirit. Woodson gave argument
DIR. Drew gave implement.

An appeal to local postoffice
patrons for special care In mail
ing during this Christmas sea-

Postmaster Howard Wagner.
Patrons are asked to advise
their correspondents of their
correct address. With the heavy
mailing period just ahead, mail
without the street and number
of box number will be delayed
in delivery, Mr.. Wagner said,
since such mail cannot be Civ

It has been suggested Christ
mas greetings be sent as first
class mail to obtain the many
advantages this service affords.
First class mail is dispatched
first and delivered first, may be
forwarded if necessary and if
unbelievable will be returned
to sender if return address is
shown on the envelope.
First class postage is apple
able to letters which measure
less than four inches long or
