Suppressed by winter the racing
programs are to be dorment untn
the spring blossoms are out again.
During the winter several new
tracks for training horses have
been planned while others have
been built. A fine idea carried out
by Mr.. Edward Alexander was the
construction of a neat track near
town and no doubt this track will
be very helpful to the trainers and
others who look after the welfare
of horses and the racing in general.
In fact, the idea of Mr.. Alexander
meets with a heartfelt approval
among all who loves horses and
there are plenty of the horse ad-
mirers.
The grounding was either sue
cess or a failure on Tuesday. Up to
noon there was no shadow and
everybody regarded the omen as
being quite partial to six weeks of
good weather. Some said the hog
came out in the afternoon and the
sun shone brightly for ten minutes.

Sam Jethroe
Back To Majors

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Jan. II
Sam Jethroe, 32-year-old outfield-
er, is coming back to the major
leagues after year in the minors,
Jethroe is one of the six players
the Milwaukee Braves sent to the
Pittsburgh Pirates last week for
a second baseman - Danny O'Con-
nell.
The swap which sent Jethroe to
the Pirates also included Max Sur
kot, pitcher; Sid Gordon, left field
er, and three farm pitchers.
Larry LaSalle, southpaw pitcher
who had 1876 record last year
with the, same club, and Fred
Waters another south paw who
had 1910 mark with Lincoln of
the Western leagues.
RICKEY NOT IMPRESSED
But there's no assurance that
Jethroe, who played with Toledo
in the American Association last
year, Will remain with the Pl-
rates. In fact, Branch Hickey, gen.
eral manager of the Pirates, said
after the deal that "I'm not count
ing on Jethroe for the Pirates al
though l have always been
Jethroe man."
Jethroe was bought by the Brook
Ign Dodgers from the Cleveland
Buckeyes in 1913 and sent to the
Montreal Royals in the Interna-
tional League. The following year
he was sold to the Boston Braves
(now the Milwaukee Braves) for
100000. His best year with the
Boston club was in 1851 when he
batted .280.

The sports writer's had to straigh-
ten him out on that too. Maxi
says the battle was stopped when
his manager tossed in a towel sig
nifying submission. Max didn't re-
call that Arthur Donovan referee
ing the fight, obeyed the New York
State rules, kicked the towel out of
the ring and odrered the fight con-
tinued.
And it ended with Max Schmel-
ing on the floor the most badly de-
feated challenger Louis has con-
quered. In fact, Schmeling was
taken out of the Yankee Stadium
on a stretcher and removed to a
hospital. Schmeling recalls none of
this in his suit.

Max's idea. He must need dough

NEW YORK, Jan. II Especially
Sports writer's got their biggest
laugh as December faded and a
washed up disgruntled former Nazi
fighter furnished the fun.
Max Schmeling remember him,
the Black Uhlan, "Der Schlager"
whom Hitler hoped would bring the
worlds heavyweight boxing title
to Germany? Well, the ex-fighter
now a mink raiser somewhere in
Germany, heralded through the
German speaking press last week,
he intended suing Joe Louis and the
producers of the film, "The Joe
Louis Story" for slandering him.
Schmeling declares he was repre-
sented in the film as q something
or other wearing a baseball cap
and a few other things. That's
where the laugh comes in. All that
stuff was left on the cutting floor.
Some shot of the second Louis
Schmeling fight were retained
and maybe that's why Herr Max is
warthy. Nobody likes to see pic
ture of himself taking walloping
especially the kind that Joe Louis
dealt out to Schmeling in the Sec
ond setto.
Discount the first one which
Louis himself declares Schmeling
won fairly-even if Max did give
Joe terrific wallop to the kishkus
(face that isl. After the bell in the
fourth Joe went on to battle Sch
melting after that, being kayoed in
the 18th round. That Schmeling
can't recall.
Schmeling, too, is a little goggy
on what happened in second fight.

same show occurred to a 6-year
old phenomenal child dancer named
Jimmy Hunter.
Before the show had arrived in
Chicago, Jimmy had written to
Sugar" a letter stating that he
had practiced "real hard" and
wanted to appear with him on the
stage that night. Since he was on
tour, the letter was addressed to
Robinson, in care of ASA, the
organization founded by Duke Ell
lington to aid show business poten-
tials.
Robinson, however, granted the
youngsters request and sent word
that he could appear on both shows
with him that night.
On the first show Hunter was
terrific. He did not appear on the
second performance.
From beginning to end, the Rob-
inson- Dominoes feud has been a
hectic tug-of-war. Neither side
seems to be winning and Robinson
is getting the tail-end on several
accounts.
For Sugar" Ray show business
is a second-choice profession; one
he decided upon after he had his
fill of fighting for money. In the
ring he was the best. He did with
his fists what few fighters can
ever hope to accomplish if ever.
But on the stage, Robinson is
just another fair to-middling
hooffer who has yet to prove that
he can dance aboye, the class of
average aspirant He has the tai
emit. He even has what most enter
tainers spend d lifetime garnering
q famous name.

church.
City Road Methodist Church was
completed and opened on the sec
ond Sunday in January, 1851. At
that time the pastor and members
were faced with a $4,000 debt.
Today approximately $4,000 of
this amount has been retired.
At 2.30 this afternoon represen-
tatives of all churches in the city
will attend an anniversary serv-
ice. The Rev. N. D. Query, Min
lister of Trinity Methodist Church
will present the message. The
public is invited to attend.
Corinth City Road Methodist
Church has long history. Prior to
the Civil War, there were 2O7,-
600 colored communicates in the
general body of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South and locally
there were about 200 colored COM
municants.
After the war many white min
listers presented the question, what
shall be done to promote the re-
ligious interests of the colored
communicates.
At this time there were only
1900 colored members.
AS result, the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South met in 1870
at Memphis and passed resolu-
ton effecting the first general
conference of the colored men,
bers.
The conference was held in Jack
son, Tenn. with Bishop Paine, SEN
ior Bishop of the M. E. Church
South of Jackson presiding. The
Rev. James A. Heard, pastor of
the First M. E. Church South of
Jackson, acted as secretary Pro-
TEN.
Other white ministers were pres
ent to witness the beginning of
their daughter church with under
standing that support be given
throughout it's life.
Corinth City Road Methodist
Church had its birth in 1881 on
the corner of White and Smith
streets. In 1907 it was moved to
its present location.
For 70 years it has served the
people as a spiritual power for
building Gods work.
The present pastor was preced-
ed by az ministers over 81 years of
church life. The Rev. J. Y. Trice
has served for six years.
Under the leadership of the Rev.
Trice more than $4,000 in i'm
provements have been made on the

Sugar Ray Robinson
Called Huge Flop
Since Quitting Fight
Ring For Stage
Say Unpopularity
Wave Seems To
Have Hit Former
Ring Great

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. II Especially
Since Sugar" Ray Robinson re-
tired from the ring to embark upon
a stage career as a dancing "Beau
Brummel" his career has been beset
by criticisms and feuds. From New
York to California his legion of
fans have attempted in vain to
answer questions on the Ray Robin
son popularity. l. Is he on a new or
belatedly exposed wave of unpopu-
larity? 2. Has show business
saved the retired champs sugar
wrappings that originally made him
famous?
This is the jest of an article re-
leased last week by George Daniel,
staff writer for the Associated
Negro Press.
AS part owner Of the package
show including the Dominoes and
orchestra leader Count Basic, the
fastidiously attired former boxing
king has been called, by critics
who claim to know, "a grand flop"
as an entertainer on stage. Reports
say he flopped miserably in New
York and Detroit, and laid whoop-
ing eggs in Philadelphia, and Chi
cago.
The Robinson-Billy Ward (Domi-
noes) feud was actually said to
have started in Detroit when Rob-
inson was having difficulty draw
ing crowds at the Fox Theatre
some months ago.
Ward and his Dominoes were
riding high on half-a-dozen hit
records, were called in to help the
sagging box office. They did help,
and it turned out to be the begin
ming of the Robinson-Dominoes-
Count Basic package show that was
later formed in New York.
Although Ward or Robinson have
refused to make public statements
concerning their feud these are the
facts:
In Louisville, KY, records show
that Robinson caused the purse for
the show to be withheld when the
Dominoes arrived at the local hall
a few minutes late, but in time for
5heir performance, being last on the
show.
On another occasion, Ralph
Hockster, 20-year-old white chauf-
feur for the Dominoes, was al
legedly threatened by several men,
5ers of Robinson's ontourage.
In Hartford, Conn.,, he was said
TO have frightened Joe Lamon one
Of the Dominoes singers, until he
was sent home on doctors orders
because of an liberated stomach.
Adding to these three incidents,
two Chicago "blunders" and you
an spread the icing on the Ray
Robinson Story.
The DominOes and Count Basic
we're to appear with Robinson at
DuSable High School on Nov. %
for two performances. Disc jockey
Daddy O-Daylie had been engaged
by AL Dnckett, executive secretary
of the American Society Of Artists,
sponsor of the show, to emcee both
performances.
When Robinson arrived and was
told that Daylie was scheduled to
be master of ceremonies, Robinson
was quoted as telling Duckett: "1'm
emceeing this show!" To this Duck
EFT said: eve didn't know that, and
so l asked Mr.. Daylie to come
down." "For what" sneered Rob
inson as he walked away. Daylie,
standing nearby, put on his hat and
left.
