“SENOR BUM IN THE JUNGLE”
By Algo Sand
(Robert M .McBride and Co.. 4 West
16th Street, New York City.)
Senor Bum, in this story, weaved
around actual experiences of the
author, is an American white man,
possessing as his first love the spirit
of adventure into unknown or unex
plored regions.
We pick him up as “floater” around
an Americal oil expedition camp in
South America. In their leisGre mom
ents the men discuss hand-me-down
legends of the unexplored regions up
the Orinoco, down the Rio Negro and
on out the mighty Amazon rivers.
When our hero, not yet known as
Senor Bum, learns that no white man
has ever traversed portions of that
country, and despite the pleadings and
warnings of his fellow-men, he quits
the oil expedition and single handed
decides to become the first white man
to cross the region.
Although he starts out with a full
traveling equipment, purse and larder,
under the assumed pretentious title of
an American scientific explorer, he
soon finds himself reduced to a state
from whence comes his nick-name—
, Senor Bum—for virtually that is what
he becomes.

| START FIGHT ON POOL WHICH
BARRED 2 NEGRO LADS MONDAY
NEW YORK— (CNA) — Declaring
that the Bronxdale Pool was “a white
man’s pool,” the management of that
pool last Monday barred two Negro
youths from the premises. The youths,
Daniel Epps, 2711 Cruger Avenue,
and Elmer Ames, 2800 Brons Park
East, were accompanied by two white
youths. The latter were admitted with
out question. The white youths de
manded their money back and left the
place when they found their compan
; ions barred.
Through an oversigh? at the ticket
office, tickets were at first sold to
Epps and Ames. The assistant man.
ager of the pool then rushed over,
seized the tickets and barred the two
youths.
The pool was the scene of many
sharp battles between workers and
the police last Summer as indignant
white and Negro workers protested
the barring of Negro workers and
children. The courts supported the
action of the pool management, finirer
and jailing several militant white and
Negro workers.
A few days ago a delegation of
white workers from the Bronx Co
operative Colony at 2800 Bronx Park
East visited the pool to contract for its
use this Summer. The management
i offered them especially low rates, but
with the provision that they must not
bring Negroes along. The delegation
rejected the Jim-Crow terms, demand
ing the right of the Negro and white
workers to associate together. They
denounced the discrimination against
Negroes as part of the policy of the
ruling class of splitting the workers
and isolating the Negro toilers for a
more intensive exploitation and • op
pression.
The action of the delegation in re
jecting the Jim-Crow proposal has
been endorsed by the workers of the
Co-Operative Colony and by a number
of Bronx organizations.
The Ronald Edw’ards Group of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights,
which has played a leading role in the
struggle against the Bronxdale Pool
Management, has taken steps to mob
ilize new sections of the Negro and
white workers for the struggle to
smash all Jim-Crow laws and practices
against the Negro people. The L. S.
N. R. group will also institute legal
action against the manjgement of the
pool, as a supplement to the mass
fight the names of Daniel Epps and
Elmer Ames will be brought in the
Action. The following white workers
have announced their willingness to
, testify against the management: Joe
Epstein. Abe Eisenman, George Weiss, |
David Bernstein, Sol Tobach and
Israel Padalsky. F. E. A. Welsh, a
member of the L. S. N. R,, was also
present at the time.

UNION UNIVERSITY TO ADD
TEACHER COURSE FOR ELE
MENTARY INSTRUCTORS
RICHMOND. Va. — (CNS) — The
school board of this city has agreed to
cooperate with Virginia Union Univer
sity in working out a plan for practice
teaching by students in one of the
elementary schools of the city.
Dr. William J. Clark, president of
the University, following the receipt
of a letter to that effect from the
school board announced that begin,
ning with the fall semester, the uni
versity will offer a full course for the
elementary teacher, comparable to that
formerly available at the Armstrong
Normal school, which has been
abandoned due to economic conditions.
! Under the former arrangement, prior
to the decision of city school authori
i ties to discontinue normal courses, the
university only maintained an
advanced course for high school teach
ers, who were allowed practice.teach
inrz in Armstrong High school. After
this they were eligible to the certifi
I cate of the State board of education
without taking an examination.
“On the other hand,” he explained
“Negro teachers of the elementary
grades received their entirejniirsg in
teaching and practice-teaching at
■ Armstrong Normal school. With the
closing of this school as a measure of
city economy, the elementary teacher
would have been compelled to study
outside the city, which, in view of pre
sent conditions, would be impossble in
i the majorty of cases.”
, To meet this emergency, Virginia
> Union University made the city school
t board the offer to give a complete ele
mentary teacher’s course, provided
students were allowed to do practice
teaching in one of *he elementary
, schools. This the bca:d agreed to at
i its recent meeting.

One of the most discussed ques
tions on the mind^ of the leading
coaches and followers of track and
field meets h; What do these Color
ed boys have that they can go on
smashing record after record without
interruption from the leading white
athletes of the world?
I have heard this question argued
pro and con ever since Eddie Tolan
and Ralph Metcalfe electrified the
sport world last July at the Olympic
games. The theory has been advanc- [
ed that Negroes have a knack to mim.
ic anything they see or hear about,
that their whole life is devoted to
copying what others have done be
cause Howard Drew was the first
Negro sprinter of prominence they
argued that all colored lads take to
sorinting as a national heritage and
therefore concentrate upon the line
of track work to the exclusion of the
middle distance and longer races and
therefore, with so much attention giv
en by one group to one particular
branch of track there is no wmnder
that their best should be the most
successful
Others claim that the sprints do
more than any other form of racing
demand perfect timing and rhythm.
Since there has never been a group
of people that have had instinctive
rhythm as the Negro, the thundering
stomp of the sprinter and the thump,
thump, thump of the racers feet a
gainst the cinders furnishes a per
fect cadence of ragtime tune for them
to use to coordinate mind and muscle
I have often wondered if these peo
ple have ever stopped to consider that
our Drews. Tolans, and Metcalfes
that have been and are, and our O
wens, Phillips and Skinners to come,
might train just a little harder, set
their minds more assidiously to the
task of winning, knowing that there
cannot be a race that is too close or
they will come out second. In this
I think these people who wonder will
find that the very thing that makes
them w-onder is that, that makes
these boys succeed—racial prejudice.
Golfers of the Club Swastika, O
maha’s local colored club, are sharp
ening up their game for the coming
central States’ Tournament to be held
August 6th and 7th at the Dundee
Golf CourSe in Omaha. The Omahans
feel rather confident and cocky about
their sweep of the tournament held in
Kansas City last month when “Gab
by” Watson stroked his way to the
championship class A and Bill Davis
cltfhned up the Class B Division. How
ever, they should consider that the
tournament there was match play and
some of the best players were elim
inated because of the nine hole mat
ches. The Central States is a medal
play competition and calls for thirty
six holes of good, steady golf.
Such stars as Charley Howard, the
defending champlon from Des Mtoinesj
Iowa, “Spiders” Rummons of Kansas
City and Sam Shepard of St. Louis
will be gunning for revenge. I think
that it will be a fight between these
three and Penny Murray. John Pegg
and Jess Hutten of the local club,
with “Gabby” Watson, Hodges and
McClain and Russel of Kansas City,
jumping in to win if anyone of these
slip.*
Davis, Galloway and Hanger, who
are some of the most improved play,
ers of the local club are playing too
goo<^ at this time to be considered
Class B players but if either one of
them get into that class, they will
each have a better than even chance
to win. Others that might get into
Class B and be plenty dangerous are:
Crawford, whose game gets better
each time he plays, Harvey Avant,
Marshall, Emmet Avant, Tillman and
Miller of Kansas City.
The following is a letter received
from Charles P. Howrard, President of
the Central States Golf Association,
relative to the Golf Tournament:
The annual Central States Golf As.
sociation tournament will be held
Sunday and Monday, August 6 and 7,
at Omaha. Nebraska, over the Dun
dee Golf Course. The present mem
bers of the Association are: Kansas
City, Kansas and Missouri, St. Louis,
Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa and
Omaha, Nebraska. In addition individ
uals from other cities not having golf
organizations may enter.
The Association tournament last
year was held at Des Monies, Iowa
and was won by Charles P. Howard
of that city. The tournament is an
annual Seventy.tw'o hole affair. Thir.
ty-six holes will be played Sunday,
August 6, and thirty.six, Monday
August 7, The high one-half of the
qualifiers of the first eighteen holes
comprise the championship flight and
the second half go into the second
flight. Stiff competition this year
is expected from Dr. S. G. Robinson
of St. Louis, Lem Russell, Dr. Eugene
Rummons and Fred H. Johnson of
Kansas City, Missouri.

THE UNCROWNED CHAMPION
by HARRY LEWIS
Many stories of the invincible speed
matchless power, and devasting punch
of the new heavyweight Champion,
Primo Camera, are being told. It
is true that Primo is a big man pos
sessiong bulk enough alone to make
a formidable foe to any fighter, with
in the hempen strands, but it must
also be considered from other angles.
Camera is the greatest drawing
eard in the fight game today. He
is young and willing. These qualit
ies are gold to the Madison Square
Garden directors, and with Camera
as Champion, can they not readily
coin it into money?
The true heavyweight champion of
the world is a Negro, namely Larry
Gaines, weight 182. He has met and
defeated every fighter of note in
Europe. Among his victims, within
the past six months is Prime Cam
era. And according to press reports
he scored a decisive and easy victory.
In my opinion, Primo Camera is only
champion because of hi8 drawing
power and size, and not fighting ab
ility.
WORLD’S HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPION
by C. C. GALLOWAY
Primo Carnera will be the world’s
Heavyweight Champion until he re
tires. Anyone that saw the fight be
tween Bearcat Wright and Primo at
League park, could readily see that no
average sized citizen would ever have
a chance at the championship belt as
long as Primo Carnera is considered
in the heavyweight class. Primo was
awkward in this fight, and without
any scientific ability, but the force
and arm reach in Primo is found in
few men. His weight is not in ex
cessive flesh. He is naturally a big
boned and muscle built man.
Bearcat, heretofore had always
been able to protect his face with his
gloved hands. Primo Carnera, after
a few jabs at Bearcat’s face through
his hands, discovered that Bearcat’s
scientific protection was just a little
too much for him to open a way to
eet a clear cut swing or uppercut at
Bearcat’s face without first hitting
Bearcat's fists. So Carnera made up
his mind that he would two.glove
Bearcat to a finish, and he mauled
away at Bearcat’s face and head, by
stiking Beacat’s hands, when he
would throw them up to protect his
face.
Pretty soon Bearcat became as
light as a feather, and as senseless
as a baby. Over the ropes he went.
Bearcat was helped back into the ring
j and anyone could see that he was a
whipped man at this point. Primo
Carnera is a suppr.man. In size and
strength, and muscle, and when the
scientific trainers get through with
him, he will be in a class to himself,
as a heavyweight like the world has
never known before. I predict that
no fighter will be able to stand in
front of him for five rounds.

| HEFLIN RANTS AGAINST NINE
NEGRO BOYS
..MONTGOMERY, Ala—Expressing
i a cruder lynch policy as against the
more subtle lynch methods being fol
lowed by Judge James E. Horton, for
mer U. S. Senator Thomas J. Heflin
of Alabama has sent the following
wire to Attorney-General Thomas E.
Knight who is seeking to electrocute
the nine innocent Scottsboro boy3:
“I share with you the keen disap
pointment and resentment that you
feel over the strange and annoving
action of Judge Horton in the Scotts
boro rape cases, and I will be glad to
assist you free of charge in having
Judge Horton relieved from further
consideration of these cases and in
having another judge appointed to try
the Scottsboro Negroes. This dallying
with the Scottsboro rapists is a hu
miliating insult to the white race in
Alabama and the very worst thing
that could happen to law-abiding Ne
i groes of this state. It is putting wick
ed thoughts in the minds of lawless
Negro men and greatly increasing the
danger to the white women of Ala
bama.
“Let justice be done and done speed
ily so there will be no more bribing of
witnesses and brazen interferences
with court trials for rape in Ala
bama."
Earlier, in a statement to the press,
Knight, whose father wrote the pre
vailing opinion of the Alabama Su
preme Court upholding the original
Scottsboro frame-up declared: “The
prosecution of the Scottsboro cases
will not be abated.”
Heflin Prosecuted Croppers.
Heflin, known to have been for
years a leader of te Ku Klux Klan in
Alabama, was chief prosecutor in the
recent Tallapoosa trials which result,
ed in five Negro sharecroppers being
railroaded to prison for terms up to
12 years.

WE ARE NOT GETTING ODRS
We often boast about the great advancement we
have made in the last three quarters of a century; our
progress in literature, science, music, medicine and other
arts and professions. However, a little research will
serve to show that our advancement over this period can
not be compared on par with other groups over a similar
span of time. Take the prosperous immigrants for an
example.
• Our greatest hinderance seems to grow out of the
fact that we do not inspire concentrated effort in projects
which would serve to improve the economic status of our
communities. Omaha’s colored citizenry represents
something like 12,000 people. Observe any town with a
12,000 population and find what amount of these persons
are holding well paying and responsible positions. Com
pare their progressiveness with your own community and
note how far we arei behind in this struggle of human ex
istence.
In many instances it takes the wages of from
three to four of our people to pay a week’s salary to out
siders who come into our section through the force of out
side mass pressure and fill positions and jobs that could
and should be held by our own young men and women
for whom we have sacrificed to educate.
A regrettable illustration of this is to be found in
our neighborhood theatre; closed now five days a week
due in part to the fact that our people resent the constant
paying out of their hard earned quarters and dimes,
where they cannot secure desirable employment. Much
undeserved criticism has been heaped upon the manage
ment of this theatre. The criticism is not merited be
cause the management is powerless to hire colored help
in the operating room, due to pressure brought on by an
organization of workers who seemingly have always en
deavored to keep the colored worker in the lowest class,
possible, even if they have to come into his own neighbor
hood and rob him of his inherent right to accomplish
their aim. We have ample information from the manage
ment that they would be only too glad to hire colored mo
tion picture machine operators if the fire prevention law,
which from indicaions is an instrument in part to protect
a certain class of labor, was not used as an excuse to pre
vent persons who are undesirable to them, from securing
operator’s license.
A group of skeptical citizens, desiring to test the
j elasticity of the law governing license to operators, sel
ected two colored youths who have been trained in mach
inery, electricity and motion pictures since their school
days, to take the examination. The results and elasticity
was as expected; an unnecessary detailed and complicat
ed group of tasks were set up for them. In spite of this
they came within a few points of passing the test. Then,
believing that maybe they were not so up-to-date, the
young men spent four weeks of intense study under the
supervision of a licensed operator in preparation for an
other examination. Those in power evidently felt that
this was the time to discourage the youths once for all, so
they gave them even lower grades then at first.
These two young men are determined to carry the
fight against apparent discrimination to the last ditch.
They have been successful in securing an appeal from the
board of the city council. This is only one step toward
attaining better representation in jobs CREATED BY
OURSELVES, yet we all should get into the spirit of the
movement as the path has no ending and offers unlimited
opportunities for those youths of ours whom we educate
and are educating, that they might take their rightful
place among men in this city and nation.
