SPORT NOTES

Brooklyn, Sandy Araoros
came off the Brooklyn Dodgers
crippled list, put he still won't
be used for a while to be
sure he's okay. For Sandy
is wearing a corset-support
and though he can play, New
York has been plagued with
torreaAS of rain leaving the
field in a muddy state. So
Manager Aston says this: I'd
kinda like to get him in there
for a game or two and see
how he reacts. But if the field
is muddy, I won't play him or
Robinson. Before his back ac-
ted up, Sandy was Brooklyn's
leading left fielder.
Brooklyn has picked on no
one in particular this season
unless you want to name the
Fnllaoelpnla PhlllleS IN this
class. The Dodgers have bea-
ten New York 9 games to 6;
Chicago II games to 6; Gin

SWarS US
Nashua On

ANUOHUW VII
All roads will lead to Chic
ago late this month for there
on August 81, at Washington
Park, home of the Windy
City's Oldest Thoroughbred
racing association, is sche-
duled the Race of the Year,
If not the Century.
Benjamin F. Lindheinaer
executive director of Airing
ton and Washington Parks
has written the opening chap
ter Of what is bound to prove
one of the peak episodes in
10th century racing history.
The scheduled meeting of Rex
Ellsworth's Swaps and Will
liam Woodward Jr.'s, Nashua,
with 100000 to the winner
has captured the imagination
OF the sports-minded the
country over.
The excitement generated
by the prospect of this race
Is easy to understand; it is
fundamentally the argument
ON which Americas oldest and
most popular spectator sport
Is based, that of your horse
against mine. This was an
argument that once brought
together the horses of two
presidents of the United
States when Thomas Jeffer-
sons unnamed roam colt beat
George Washington's Magno-
liza.
Like the famed North YER
sus South match races which
frightened a lengthy period
of Turf history in the middle
part of the 10Th century. this
one shapes up as a battle
between one geographical
section and another; in this
case the West and the East.
Not the least famous of the
anute bellum races was the
contest between Cornelius w
Van Ranst's American Eclipse,
representing the North and
Sir Henry the challenger from
the South. Had a Hollywood
script writer concocted this
match he could not have
made it much more dramatic
American Eclipse had run
himself out of competition in
the North and had gone to
Virginia to take on the South
ern champion, Sir Charles. In
working for the match Sir
Charles had struck a tendon
and his owner James ]. Har-
rison paid forfeit but offered
to run one four-mile heat.
This was run but Sir Charles
broke down Thereupon, Will
liam Ransom Johnson issued
a challenge and said he would
produce a hose to meet Ec-
lipSe at the spring meeting
at the Union Course on Long
Island, Johnson gathered five
of the top horses in the South
and prepared his campaign.
OF the five Sir Henry emerg-
ed as the Southern repre-
sentative.
When the dust of battle
cleared at the Union Course
on Long Island John Ran
dolph of Roanoke, a repre-
sentative either in Congress
or the Senate for "a years,
proclaimed that a plate of
Holsters had cost the South
the match and with it the
championship of the turf.
The reference was to the
fact that William Ransom
Johnson, the trainer of Sir
Henry had been laid low by
too much Northern Hospit-
atty topped off with lob
Ster dinner and was thus I'M
able to supervise the handr
ling of Sir Henry in the con-
test which was of three four
mile heats.
American Eclipse lost the
first heat, and the defeat was
blamed on his jockey, a
lightweight youngster named
William Crafts. Samuel Pur-
dy, the "Arcaro" of his day,
had come to the corseu at
tired in his riding clothes un-
der a top coat. Legend has it
that he had had a difference
with Van Ranst, but felt that
Crafts could not handle the

The remarks made by the Con-
gresham referred to in the tele-
graph message are as follows: ~
| hope this experience makes you see
now the Importance Of patronizing
our own group whenever and
wherever possible. 1t is an old
lesson, but it cannot be taught too
often. We must maintain our eco
nomic autonomy. We must consoli-
date our resources. We must pre-
serve our race consciousness and
pride in our group achievement.
We must support our own FIRST,
even if it means a sacrifice, until
the water of Democracy's economic
stream flows backward and for
ward for black and white alike!
Call it inconsistent with our dream
of Indignation if you wish. Call it
segregation or discrimination if
you wish. But the alternative, my
friends, is to witness many of our
economic advances - present and
potential, built with agonizing
pains through ownership and by
burning the midnight oil in edu-
cational institutions across the
country, driven over the water
falls into the dark crevices of
oblivion
Greene said, "That he wired
Cong. Diggs, in the belief that the
adoption of such a resolution by
the Congress of the United States
would Immediately clear the air Of
any existing tension in Mississippi,
and the South; bring about the
early disbanding of any organiza-
tions organized to resist the ac-
lions of the United States Supreme
Court, and create an atmosphere
on which Negro and white people
can work together in harmony and
goodwill towards whatever may be
inevitable in the future history of
Mississippi, and Of the South"

'55 session, the Library Department
for Colored Schools had the dis
tinct honor of hearing Mrs. Mar
garet Walker Alexander, profess
sor of English, Jackson College, in
a powerful and thought-provoking
review of "The Power of Positive
Thinking" by Norman Vincent
Peale.
During her review, which was
given in the attractive Hill High
School Library, Mrs. Alexander
brought out many cardinal points
of interest, among which she as
serted that DR.. Peale, a man of
practical philosophy, believes that
one can succeed if he knows the
powers within himself. She also
pointed out that the first great
power that man must seize upon
is God.

this challenging review were: Di-
rector James Gooden; Principals:

ference conferred with the Presi-
dent early this week.
President Eisenhower invited the
congressman to the White House
after he learned about the run
around he had received from a
news item in the Washington Post.
The conference scheduled for Is
minutes lasted for 35 minutes.
According to reports the Pres
ident told Powell, 81 am in some
what of a dilemma about the prob
lem of colonialism." The Presi-
dent remarked. "Of course, l am
against it, whether it is practiced
by the Communists or by our
friends. On the other hand, it is
difficult to turn against an old
ally like France, which has fought
and died with our own soldiers
from Revolutionary days, especial
ly when France is fighting another
type of colonialism, the Commu-
mist brand, in Indochina."
At Eisenhower's request Powell
promised to prepare a memoran-
dun on the "colonialism" ques-
ton, setting forth his views for
the White House and State De-
partment. Powell, a Democrat, is
now at work on this, with COP
