Wipes Out Favorite's
Margin in Stretch;
Lights Up Third
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, June 24.-Greek
Song, flying the Brandywine
Stable silks of Donald P. Ross,
charged through the stretch to-
day to overhaul the pace-setting
Hill Prince and win the $45, 400
Dwyer Stakes before 29,438 at
Aqueduct.
1t was only the second victory
in eight starts this year for Greek
Song, but the chestnut son of
Heliopolis had a length-and-a-
half margin at the finish of the
mile and one-quarter. 1t was the
33rd running of the Dwyer.
Hill Prince, c. T. Chenery's Vir-
ginia flyer who won the Freak
ness but lost to battle-ground in
the Kentucky Derby and Belmont
Stakes. was six lengths ahead of
the third horse, George Widener's
Lights Up Four lengths behind
Lights Up came the c. v. Whitney
pair of Mr.. Trouble and Dooly in
the five horse field.
Jockey OWE Scurlock brought
the winner home in 2:03. well off
the track record of 2:012s estab-
lished by Valdina Orphan in win
ming the 1912 Dwyer.
The rank outsider in the small
field, Greek Song returned $14.80
and $3.50. Hill Prince was $3.1O
to place. with no show betting be-
cause of the small field.
Lights Up was first out of the
gate, followed by Hill Prince, Mr..
Trouble. Greek Song and Dooly.
Hill Prince. with Eddie Arcaro up.
took over in the backstretch and
opened up as much as a three
length lead at the five-furlong
pole. Greek Song started to move
around the far turn and was in a
contending position furlong
from home.
Arcaro had Hill Prince under
the whip in mid-stretch but Greek
Song pulled alongside at the six
teenth pole and drew away.
The victory was worth $27, 400
to Brandywine Stable, and boosted
Greek Songs earnings to $53,760.
He had won only $13,510 in his
seven other starts this year.

quently, and should he fail to
maintain himself with the stand
ards established, he will be stepped
down to a lower rank until he
reaches the rank he can pass the
examination. What a difference
between the mess sergeant of the
regular service and those of my
acquaintance during the war!!! I
wonder how many of our war
time mess sergeants could pass
muster under the standards Of
today?
Finishing mess, and after talking
to several in the mess hall, where
the reactions to this policy were
the same as previously experienced,
we again started our tour of the
base, when I spotted two Negro
WAFs. This was a complete sur
prise. Sgt. Helling called them
over to the car. asked where they
worked, and offered them a ride
to their work in order that 1 might
talk to them without taking them
from their jobs. One of them was
a supply clerk and the other a
typist. Their views of life in the
service was great, excepting that
one of the girls had recently been
stationed in Illinois, where she had
married just prior to her transfer,
and she a lonesome for her hus-
band. While there seems to be no
provisions at the moment making
it possible for the assignment of
husband and wife who are both in
the service TO the same station for
duty it is hoped that the Air Force
will soon meet this problem as it
has the many others.
Following our interview with
the Negro WAF's we returned to
Seattle and from this tour, 1 draw
the following conclusions:
First, the services have made
wonderful improvements in pro-
motion policies, training possibili-
ties, and the morale of the troops
has improved markedly, especially
for the Negro.
Secondly, there a great Zeal of
absence of discrimination because
of color, creed or race. For the
most part men are all treated with

A GOOD PRACTICE

With so many things going on
in the month Of May, 1850, in Sc
attic, it wouldn't hurt to stop and
take stock of how much Is offered
for ones money when tickets are
sold. The Deltas are setting a good
example with the Jabberwock. A
wonderful evening of entertain
ment is being offered the public.
The program is rs follows: Com
petitive acts of Amateur Vaude-
vile Silhouette Handicap
sponsored by the Silhouettes, the
wives and sweethearts of Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity men; aztec
Ritual" The Pastel Modern Dance
Group, Dancing Horses" spon-
sored by The Southern University
Club; a skit by the Corinne Carter
O%rthopedic Guild; Slaughter on
10th Avenue" by the Carver Ath-
letic Club; 1.-THE Flying Saucer
by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Soror-
ity; A Fashion Show by the Alpha
Phi Alpha Fraternity. The non-
competitive numbers on the pro-
gram will be rendered by The
Metropolitan A'Cappela Choir;
little Margaret Lorraine Chatters
will present dance numbers with
The Self Improvement Club as
sponsor, and Kappa Alpha Psi Fra
ternity will be represented by Mr..
Wayne Tymoney singing 1.-THE Ros-
ary," accompanied by Miss Ethel
Ruth Jones; the Pledge Club of
Delta Sigma Theta will present
"Jabberwock Nightmare"
Door prizes will be given out
during intermission, and dancing
to Al Hickey's Band will be en-
joyed by ticket holders following
the Jabberwock. Children will be
admitted for fifty cents.

THE IABBERWoCK cur

Besides the cash award for the
winning Jabberwock act a silver
loving cup is always presented. It
was difficult for Alpha Omieron
Chapter to decide this year
whether to purchase a new cup,
in keeping with the very large
and beautiful 1850 cups which are
fashionable, or to present the
greatly loved cup. to which there
is so much sentiment attached,
which has inscribed on it the years
and names of the winning organic
ations of previous Jabberwocks.
There r some things that
money cannot buy, as we all learn
as time goes by, so it was finally
decided to present the now histori-
cal Alpha Omicron Chapter cup.
Delta Sigma Theta is the first
Negro Greek letter organization
TO be established IN the Pacific
Northwest. Its insistence on high
standards, scholastic and otherwise,
has maintained its position of
leadership.
One of the factors in making the
decision regarding the cup is that
the organization which won the
first cup is again entering the COM
petition this year. The Corinne
Orthopedie Guild which was known
as the Younger Matrons Club when
it won the first Seattle Jabberwock
contest, with a dance extravaganza
which would have done credit to
Lew Carroll, is in there again
with the same winning spirit. Good
luck to this fine group which is
currently working hard to turn in
its share of the city wide drive to
raise funds for the orthopedic Hos
pital

BettY's Saturday Mite


According to all reports and ac-
cording to the attendance, the
Wash. Social Club has been the
jumpingest spot in town. The
little o-fay girls have taken yer
the band. / guess we a call the
club the melting pot of the Seattle
race, creed and color outfits. But it
is good for the race relationship of
the younger set. They don't be-
lieve in segregation and they take
it all as a matter of course, which
is included in the process of grow
ing up. (There's that word again.
-. Major and Bill were unable to
attract the INK SPOTS enough to
have them on the program Satur-
day night. COR better known as the
case of the Unobliging Ink Spots.)
But they rel able to secure the
services of the Mighty Bumps
Blackwell, so they still had a
celebrity to interview. They plan
on having Ella Fitzgerald down to
the KOL station and that is def
mite. The air time is 1870 to 11:30
Saturday nights. So listen. ......
Lucky Coleman, was trying to
cruise off a certain girl belonging
to a certain singer in a certain
band now playing at a certain club
on 23rd and Madison st. -. Did
you hear all about your friends
getting involved with a certain
young, young girl the other week i?
They almost went to Mr.. East
mans Hotel, but they had a little
bit of pull so they didn't have to
go. But that little girl told it all.
Called more names than you have
in the telephone directory.
The Contest for the Best Dressed
Man in Seattle has now been in
progress for three weeks and we
still haven't made too much head
way. I don't think the fellows are
as interested as they were. The
main idea was created to make a
hum of some kind of activity.
Everyone has been more or less
in a rut and we felt we could liven
things up a bit by building a we'll
dressed man. I have found out
there are a few in town that really
like the idea. 1t still is a pretty
good topic for conversation, but
how are we going to judge the old
boys if we don't have all the %
operation we were promised? So
far the fellow that has the edge on
everyone is Willie Byrd. He has
wonderful taste and not a large
wardrobe but a good one He's even
nosed out Ike Abney. Ike had the
most people in his corner but Will
lies following has proved more
faithful.
We have had an answer to the
question: Who Can We Put On
The Rainier Team? There is a
fellow named Leonard Pigg who
seems qualified to be on the team.
He is now playing for the Cincin-
natl Clowns and has his home adj
dress here in Seattle. His manager
is Sid Pollack, Box 46, Tarrytown,
N. Y. Was in the top hitting
bracket for the Clowns Chatting
average 1889. and was bought by
a Brooklyn Dodgers Farm Team,
Montreal. He would get a release
from the farm team if the oppor-
tunity presents itself out here. So
II more info. is desired I suggest
you get in touch with his manager.
-. Before we forget, I'd like to
mention the fact that Bill Ross
seems up in the air. Loafing on the
cloud of blue haze. You know
which one. Some girl really has
been getting to him and that is
saying a lot. -. Well, that's all
for now. c u Later .......
