C==. ,, -... .. . ■ -.— ---.~ KINGFI8H LAVENSKI K. O.’S SNYDER The leading dailies tell us of a grass hood-wink, engineered by Lena Levy. The whole crowd claimed that Snyder was told to dive, after hearing, that the gate receipts amounted to a small and disapproved sum of 1300 smackers. Snyder was to get a hun dred smacks a round for each round, until the King felt like putting him away. BEAR CAT WRIGHT FOULS CRI8TNER Bear Cat Wright found K. O. Crist ner’s mid section hard to find in the match. Starred the 2, with the Bear leading the fight in his famous shell. Scored knockdowns in the 1st and 5th which was called a foul, and a low punch in the 9th, that forfeited or cancelled Wright’s rights to the flsrht. Knock Out Cristner is a hard man to fight, that is to body punchers. K. O. has a habit of jumping up and while in action, Wright caught him going up. Result another fight lost. SCIENCE NOW INTERESTED IN SPORTS The Scientific world must have been eyeing the hams of various lines of sports with disgust. Boy and we need them, especially the prize ring. We haven't had a 40 round fight since the days of Jack JJohnson. Most fighters find 10 rounds of fighting a hard thing to do today, and 15 rounds are a murder. Should science show a man oi fighter how to get his second wind or keep a level head and good eye sight, at the same timg^the whole world wuold be blessed. Did you* ever stop to think that the T>all is the most important thing in Baseball, Billiards, Football, Tennis, Bowling, etc.? The boys seem to be betting on the Braves horses here of late. They chase the horses around the track. * m URAL CARTER STOLE RITZ STAGE SHOW (By Homer Burdettg) Smokie Carter, a heavy weight Tell er of the Operatic type, won the ap proval of some 150, at the midnight stage show at the Ritz Theatre, last Saturday night.

The whole show was good in its class regarding experience and rehearsal time. Leatha Spears had the crowd looking and list * ning to her, while she sang Sweet Su. and dished out a soft and ryth mic soft shoe dance. Madame Farrel Robertson sang a blues like song of her own creation. Charles Rastus Williams returned to the stage and ang a funny song. At the end of the show, Smokie Carter comes on the -tage and sings to the crowd’s ap proval. “A Shanty in Old Shanty Town ’ After a shower of applause Mr. Carter continued with “The World is Waiting for the Sunrise.” kfter :his rendition, another combus tion of cheers sprang up from the ■rowd.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS AT YOUR DRUG STORE For over twenty years people, from aU parts of the United States, have gone to Excelsior Springs, Missouri, to drink of the curative waters of the White Sulphur Spring. In addition this water has been shipped to many people, great distances, in glass bot tles. A company, composed of Omaha business men, has been formed to evaporate the waters of the White Sulphur Spring and expensive machin ery has been installed for this pur pose. This new company has been named the Natural Crystals Corpora tion. The crystals thsu formed by evap oration are claimed to have all the medicinal values of the spring water and are easily shipped anywhere since over ten gallons of water are evapor ated to make approximately twelve ounces of thsee crystals. These crystalsi after being packed in jars, are ready for distribution and a force of salesmen have already sold them to the drug trade throughout the greater part of the states of Nebras ka, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri, and other territories are being opened as fast as possible. To obtain the effects of drinking the waters, direct from the White Sulphur Spring, the purchaser of these crys tals has only to dissolve a small amount in an ordinary glass of drink ing water.

CONGRESSMAN MALCOLM BALDRIDGE We hope that the Negroes of this State will give some thought to the candidates who are aspiring to office. In the coming election Congressman Malcom Baldridge, Republican candi date is up for re-election, and will be asking for your support. Remembei the part he played in keeping 125 col ored soldiers from Fort Omaha, there by striking a blow at the economic structure o>f this community as well as to lower the standard of this group in the eyes of the citizens of this na tion. ’ Everybody in this country knows that there is an election approaching. The candidates, the Job holders all have a welcome and hearty handshake for everybody including the Negro. We are wondering just what the Ne gro thinks about when he gets on the pay-roll or is flattered by the candi dates. We wonder what becomes of all his sense of independence fair play and common decency. We won der what it is that seizes the average Negro, and possess him body and soul the minute he gets on a political pay roll. Is there nothing to live for but a pay envelope are we to exchange equal opportunities before the law, the right to move and live as other men , for a political envelope. Have we [ reached the point where the pay roll is the only thing to hope for? Have we been Republicans simply because we have been members of the house of patronage or been flattered by some of the big shots. _ i Used Player Pianos $38 Terms: 50c Per Week Schmoller & Mueller Piano Co. 1516 Dodge St. (POLITICAL ADV.) —1 dik YOUR CROCER FOR Iljellocup I COFFEE CO. | AMERICAN SHOE SHOP MEN’S - A LADIES’ Half Soles iff Up CHILDREN’S Twll and up 224 SO. 24th St. JACKSON 8403 WE CALLL FOR & DELIVER RE-ELECT I OUR FRIEND I CONGRESSMAN | ‘Mac’ Baldrigel REPUBUCA^ANDmATEJ (POLITICAL ADV.) 1 Prepares Scottsboro Appeal for October M New York City—(CNA)—Wide spread preparations are now goinj ofrward for the hearing before th< Supreme Court on October 10, of the appeals of seven of the Scottsbon boys, the headquarters of the Inter national Labor Defense announced last week.
