Realm of Sports— Negro Athletes Take Spotlight in Meet at Lincoln, Nebr. Lincoln, Nebr., July 11, (ANP)— Not one, but four unbeatable Negro boys seized the spotlight here Thurs day at the University of Nebraska’s Lincoln Stadium and romped away with the most spectacular victories in the annual track and field meet of the Amateur Athlete Union. The four heroes were Eulace Pea cock of Temple University, Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette University, Jesse Owens of Ohio State University and Cornelius Johnson of Compton Junior College. Sixteen thousand spectators, jovial and excited under a 100-degree sun, got their first good glimpse of the great eastern star, Eulace Peacock of Temple University, Philadelphia. Peacock has been burning up the cinder paths in the East and toying with the rims of broad jump pit. But the names which have been pub lished most have been those of Jesse Owens, the boy who broke three world records in .one afternoon, and Ralph Metcalf, la;t year’s champion. The great race Thursday afternoon was expected to come off between Owens and Metcalf in the 100 meters Since Owens lost to Metcalf last year at the Milwaukee nationals, he had not been beaten in a sprint race. Metcalf, out of practice this season, was only given an outside chance to flash to the tape ahead of Owens. But outside these two, no others were considered, despite the pres ence of Anderson, California flash, and Neugass of Tulane. The white boys didn’t have a chance. In the 100 meter dash, it was necessary for the starter to call the boys back three times before the starting gun was fired. They were all tearing at the leash. When the shot finally was heard, Peacock was off like a bullet, a step ahead of Metcalf. The race was over almost with the drawing of a breath. Peacock held his lead over Metcalf to finish first, with Metcalf second and Owens third. The white boys in the race brought up the rear. Peacock’s time was 10.2 seconds, one-tenth of a second under the world mark, a record which will not be al lowed because of the wind. Peacock ran the race in the same time in his preliminary heat to finish ahead of Owens, Although Owens had been nearly shut out in the 100-meter event, it was confidently expected that he would come through in the broad jump. Owens jumped four times. His first leap was 25 feet 9!£ inches; the second, 25 feet 4 inches, but he fouled;_the third, 25 feet 11 7-8 inches, and the fourth, 26 feet, 1Y* inches, breaking the accepted world record of Nambu Chuhei of Japan. But the Peacock lad was un daunted. He strode by Owens on his way to take his own turn and taunt ed the Ohio flash with the encourag ing comment, “Boy, you ain’t seen no jumping yet!’’ Peacock gathered up his steam as he streaked along the cinder path to the takeoff board, struck the takeoff squarely and fairly leaped far out in Notice, Subscribers: If you don’t get your paper by Saturday, 2 p. m., call Webster 1750.

Suddenly he leaped in to the air as the announcer, Tom Canty, raised his microphone to his mouth and announced to the crowd that Peacock’s jump was 26 feet 3 inches. The world’s record was again beaten. Two of Uncle Sam’s black boys had topped iti Owens took his fifth jump with a mighty effort and cleared 26 feet 214 inches, topping the world mark twice in one day.

Williams Retains Colored Lightweight Championship Chicago, 111., July 11, (ANP)—In a spectacular eight-round knockout, Holman Williams, claimant of the ! Negro lightweight championship, re tained his title at the White Sox ball park last Tuesday night* Nearly 7,000 persons witnes:ed the show. The victim of Williams’ lethal punches was Baby Tiger Flowers of San Francisco. Wrilliam.. weighed 134 pounds and Flowers 132!£. Although Flowers put up a coura | geous fight, there was little doubt of the outcome from the start, the only guess being in what round the sharp rhooting Williams could catch up with his foe. He both outboxed and outslugged Flowers, although the lat ter showed to advantage in the in fighting. Flowers’ plan of battle seemed to be to try to hold Williams off and outpoint him. His punches lacked steam. He succeeded in evading Wil liams until near the end of the sev enth round when the champion hailed him with a straight right and sent him to the canvas. Flowers arose af ter a nine-count and tore into Wil liams. The two men mixed it up furiously across the ring and once again Williams landed. This time Flowers went through the roper, but scrambled back into the ring and started pumping blows to keep his foe off. The bell saved him. Williams began the eighth deter mined to finish his man. Only a few seconds elapsed when Flowers was struck aga.n and went sprawling out of the ring onto the floor of the, arena. This time he injured his shoclder. He got up quickly, flew back into the ring, holding his shoulder, and attempted to hold Wil liams off with one hand. The referee stepped in and stopped the fight. Clinton Bridges, sensational Golden I Gloves light heavyweight won a dis i puted five-round decision over Lou Thomas, rugged white boy. Bridges, who holds two amateur decisions over /Joe Louis, started bowling them over in the professional ranks, but seems to have slowed up. There is talk that he is paying too much at tention to the high spots of Chicago’s gay night life. Lorenzo Pack, also a Golden Glove, wasted no time in polishing off Pete Wistort, white steel worker, in one minute and forty three seconds of the first round. Dave Clark, another Golden Glove, won a five-round bout from Tony Zale, Italian slugger. In the other tWo bouts on the bill, Max Marek, white Golden Glover, knocked out Scotty Fuller in the sec ond round, and Bobby Pacho, the Mexican stylist, won all the way from Frankie Sagilio, in 10 heats.
