Goodman stated, that the four
years of increased polio in Arizona
has resulted in a large number of
cases being carried over from these
heavy years in addition to those of
previous years.
The funds are most timely. 1t is
hoped that Arizona will not be
faced with the necessity of again
asking National Headquarters for
large sums of money to- care for
it's polio case load of old and new
victims; after its own March of
Dimes: funds are exhausted. This
has been necessary for each of the
past five years.
Already one, county has ex-
hausted all of it's 1853 March of
Dimes funds and has had to re-
quest $3,65O.OO to care for its polio
patients-the request was granted
within a matter of days and the
money made available.

c

New York when Joe LoOmiS came
from Chicago and ran away from
all of us in the final of the 5o-yard
dash-one of the few times Howard
Drew was ever beaten. Do you re-
member the rhubarb at the 1892
Olympics when Ralph Metcalf and
Eddie Tolan ran a terrific race in
the 200-yard meters? Who won is
yet a problem as they had no
photo finish cameras in use at that
time.
AND DO YOU REMEMBER :.
Percy Verwayne, the now retired
actor, running those 300-yard races
at the New oYrk A.C. games on
that hard cinder track, and how he
complained about his feet? And
Harry Martin, the Pittsburgh boy
who was such great hurdler? And
the late Hunter Johnson who was
trainer Of the famous Pittsburgh
track team and who went to all
the track meets and took care of
all the colored athletes just for the
kick he got out of it-and without
pay too! He caught me eating pea
nuts just before one of the big
meets and wouldn't let me go out
with the boys to see the sights of
New York which were new to me
then. Those were the days-when
all the boys spent their time at
Jesse Shipp Pool Room on Seventh
Avenue near 134th Street to keep
away from the girls, and the fight
ers trained in back of Mrs. Whites
the only place they had to train at
Place at 205 w. 134th Street. 1t was
that time. That's where I first met
the great Harry Wills. And
Frank Forbes, now scout for the
New York Giants, was the great
est allaround athlete ever to grad
uate from Howard and what a
great baseball player he was in
those days.
LET'S NOT FORGET Brice
Taylor, the famous sprinter and
footballler from use who had only
one arm and who later wentssouth
to become a famous coach. 3.
And Joe Bibb, now a Commissioner
in Chicago, who was a famous
athlete at Bishop College. :.
Dewey Rogers, now Dentist in
Philly, was great 440-yard run
ner at u. of Penn. and the pitcher
on the Penn team was a Negro
named Shelly. . And when one
of the Fisher brothers (not the
one married to Marian Anderson)
but Gus, played on the Penn team
until they found out he was a
Negro after the Alpha boys invited
him to reception at the time they
played against Michigan u. :.
Those were days to remember.

old days when Abe used to sit

Bobby Anderson and Dick Hudson,

would be one of the greatest basket

was in 1922. He has come a long

bathrooms. The Forty Club Boys
Vere playing in Springfield, Ohio
and | was tossing up the first ball,
and as we appeared on the streets,
we ran into a riot and had to beat
it to the next town to catch a
train. Doctor Johnson was then
manager of the team and he was
also coach of those famous Wen
dell Phillips High School teams.
Jimmy Moss, who promoted all the
college games, came in town the
other day and we had a chat about
the times when he sent all over
the country for the college teams
to come to Chicago to play at the

Rain
BY DOYLE j. CARR

Just as it was beginning to ap-
pear that Johnny Hart a local
lad, was just another forgotten
fighter, he pops into the news at
Nogales, Son.
He was knocked out in 1:42 of
the second round by Gabriel Diaz,
in Plaza de Toros, recently.
Diaz, who lost a close 1O-round
decision last year to Lauro Salas,
former world champion, racked up
his 21st knockout against Hart.
Diaz floored Hart with a right
cross to the jaw and left hook
to the body. Hart is being spoken
of as not being in good shape.
Ford Smith, Senator's game
winning right handler, met recently
in duel with Gonzalez of Juarez.
Smith won the game 4 to 2, it was
his 7th win against 4 defeats. Con
zalez's record is now lip. A crowd
of 1,7O4 witnessed the contest.
Smith this year is heavy drawing
card for the Senators. This club
should have successful year fl
nancially if it continues at it's pres
ent rate.
We were informed that William
P. Mahoney, Maricopa County At
torney of Phoenix, was elected Far
Western vice-president of the Uni
versity of Notre DANES National
Monogram club this week.
Bill Miller is still in the United
States and throwing the javelin.
This time he heaved it 232 feet, 21s
inches against Camp Lejune Ma
rines in North Carolina.
There was time that Bill Mil
Ter was being mentioned as assist
ant track coach for Arizona State
College, Tempe. Could these ideas
still exist? Plenty of water has
gone under the bridge since this
exciting idea existed. The entire
atheletic staff has been changed,
which included the publicity agent,
and strictor rules are now imposed
on the entire atheletic department.
Can Bill make it? Only time will
tell. He will be out of the Marines
soon.

Arizona Athlete of the Month for

such greats as Sterling Bonner and

1t is being rumored that Junior
Tate may attend a Phoenix high
school this year and others to come.
Tate is a former student of Essie
White, instructor at Bethune here.
Mr.. White has always had a deep
intrest in Tate's track life. He has
watched every performance put on
by Tate this past season. Mr.. White
predicts that Tate will surpass all
Arizona records, that he will make

It is now definitely established
through scientific tests with gam
ma globulin injections, that, para
lysis resulting from paralytic polio
can be prevented in most cases by
arresting the virus before it strikes
the nervous system, which causes
the paralysis.
This, of course, is only a stop
