Whitney Young Guest
Speaker ar 81. PGul
LEAGUE Luncheon

Whitney Young. former Indus
trial secretary OF the st. Paul
Urban League, now executive
secretary Of the Omaha branch,
stressed several points whereby
both white and colored can Inn
prove racial relations among the
groups.
Speaking before 100 guests at
the annual luncheon of the st.
Paul branch Of the Urban League,
Young told guests that whites
must stop rationalizing in their
beliefs that Negroes are happy in
their present condition and stop
other common false beliefs about
Negroes.
He said also that the Negro,
too, had a job to do as he accepts
more responsibility. They must
learn to unite on basic issues, 4"

Wheatley Aux. Sponsors
10Th Annual Dinner
Thursday February %

Howard Bennett, Minneapolis
attorney win speak on The
Crusade For Democracy" on
Thursday. February 20, at $50 D.
M. at Phyllis wheatley House.
The OCCASION win mark the 26th
Annual Dinner OF the Phyllis
Wheatley Auxiliary,
Phyllis wheatley House was
established by civic-minded in
dividuals OF all races and religions
who gave their time and money 10
meet a Community need. How
ever, not enough credit has been
given to that group of young
women who organized a soft ball
team In the spring OF 1918. The
team won city championships un-
I'll 1888. The team spirit and coop
GRAFTON brought into focus the
lack of recreational facilities for
Negroes. They were observed by
many during their years Of parti-
cipation, and among those OBJ
serving was Mrs. Joseph d.
Bryan. Mrs. Bryan saw the need
for better facilities for Negro
girls, and soon won the support of
such outstanding women as Mrs,
James Paige and Mrs. Robbins
Gilman.
A photo Of the team is else
where In this edition.
A survey was made and II was
decided that a Settlement House
for men, women, boys and girls
was the logical need, rather than
home for Negro girls.
On October II, 1924, Miss w.
Gertrude Brown, the first Head
Resident Of Phyllis Wheatley ar
rived in Minneapolis. An old
factory building at sos Bassett
Place had been cleaned, curtained
and made ready with the assis-
lance OF the young women who
had played on the soft ball team.

away from Pinkus who finally
floored him with a terrific hook
to the stomach in the third round.
Addie Schmidt of st. Paul
pulled the other upset when he
out punched Monroe Gage of the
Minneapolis team to win the
championship. Gage, a well built
youngster, was well respected for
his punching ability but won a
split decision over Danny Stever-
mer of Easton on the Mankato
team. Stevermer, a tall rangy
kid with a south paw stance, al
most knocked out Gage but ran
out of steam in their semi final
match.
Gage was floored twice by
Schmidt in the final bout.
Schmidt, also southpaw, used a
vicious left jab and hook to stag
ger Gage and keep him off bal
ance throughout the contest. But
he had tough shedding when
Gage got the range for his famed
right crosses. Schmidt was right
fully awarded the trophy for the
"fightingest fighter" of the
Tournament
There were other bouts which
raised the fans out of their seats.
The hard punching Johnny Bible,
although losing to Valley Meyers
in the finals match, staggered the
Austin boy with powerful rights
to the head. Bible, in his semi
bout knocked George Rodd out
with as vicious a left hand
thrown by anyone the whole eve
ming. Rodd was out for over
twelve minutes.
AS in all Golden Gloves
tournaments, a decision had to
come along when both the fans
and the pressmen were in COM
plete agreement where the judges
weren't. After the heavyweight
crown was awarded to Ching
Johnson of Minneapolis over
Gene White of st. Paul, fans and
scribes alike wondered what bout
the judges had been watching.
White clearly outpointed John
son without the shadow of
doubt. Although staggered by
Johnson, White used a left jab
with a right cross very effectively.
At the finish Of the fight he had
hit johnson with five consecutive
left jabs, all of them accurate and
straight on the button without an
exchange from Johnson. In spite
of definite superiority to John
son the decision went against
him. but like the great young
sportsman he is, White took II
with a grin and heartily congrat-
ulated johnson.
What better way to end a very
fine tournament than with a fine
display of craftsmanship. Every
one of those fine young men
fought their hearts out to give the
very best of shows. Win or lose
they took it with a grin and pat
on the back for the loser or their
conqueror. In this they showed
better sportsmanship than the
majority of the fans who booed
them on several occasions
throughout the matches. When a
kid has given everything he's got
in the way Of boxing to win and
has been awarded the decision to
be met with booes, it takes a
lot of moxy to grin. These
youngsters did and we're proud
Of them for it.
