a M • t . , , ., , -..: Chicago, Peb. 27—When James Bruno Herbert, freshman at New York university who runs for the New York Curb ex change, von the Columbia Council 500 meter >«u at the »Urf of the cun entin'door season in the fin time of 1 minute seconds as he causedse?cie.: eyebrows to Ilf!. S ill, he he In t raced against be®t in the field Two weeks ago Saturday night at Boftfcon, he was entered in the Trout 600 yards. Present also was Eddie O’Brien of Syracuse, white speedster wiho hadnltj 'been in two years of running on the boards O’brien was expected to win but Herbeilt came in first. Some of the boys explained this defeat of the faVorite by point ting out that the Sryacuse youngster miscount ed ftihe laps, spjrinted, and at the finish line found he had made a mistake and must make one more lap But Herbert w'ofrv, and incident ally established a track record of 1:14.4. So tttha silage was all set for a week ago Saturday night in New Yc|rk for tflie classic MiHrose 600. Competing against him were John Woodruff, the Pett and Olympic sensation; this same Eddie O’Brien who wanted hs revenge, and; Qhar lia Beetham of Ohio State, national intercollegiate half mile champion It was considered the finest field ever assembled for the event But it didnlt matter Herbert wool again, nosing out O’Brien by approximately a foot In the fast time of 1:12-6. He was the first sepia ever to win this classic race and wr'^te his name beside such white track immortals as Ted Mer edith, ChpiFi^s Hor | <a‘JM, Dhvta Caldwell, Eaj-1 Eby and Alex Wil son. So they can’t laugh off Herbert Flash Kidneys of Acids and Poisons GAIN IN HEALTH AND Stop Getting Up Nights When kidneys are clogged they become weak—the bladder is irri tated—often passage is scanty and smarts and burns—sleep is restless and nightly visits to the bathroom are frequent. The right harmless and inexpensive way to stop this trouble and restore healthy action to kidneys and bladder is to get from any drug gist a 85-cent box of Gold Medal Haarlem Oil Capsules and take as directed—you won’t be disap pointed— but be sure and get GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil Cap sules—the original and genuine —right from Haarlem in Holland —a grand kidney stimulant and diuretic. Remember also that oth er symptoms of kidney and blad der trouble are backache, leg cramps, puffy eyes, moist palms and nervousness anymore, He has become the sen sation of the 1937 indoor season and and may repeat outdoors but in A. A. U- m«ets °nly, f°r like Wood miff in tihe spring of 1936, he is barred from intercollegiate compet ition because of his freshman stat us James Bruno Herbert is 22 yea's old, He sftands six feet tall and weighs 154 pounds. He was born in Harlem July 20, 1914 and is ma joring in physics and hopes event ually to teach. At the Curb Ex change he is employed as a pctrter. Occasionally he plays tike trumpet at night in dance bands for extra cash, but can't make a habit of it as ithis keeps him up too late. Ho became interested in track while at 9tuytvesant high school and in 1933 won t<he city quarter mile title in 51 seconds, but since then has appeared mainly in relays. Running for the Curb Exchange, ho helped win the 1,000 meter and 1,600 meter A. A. U- relay cham pionships the same night two years ago, also was a member of the quartet winning the A. A. U 1,600 meter relay championship at Lincoln, Nebr. Prom now on, Herbert is a mark ed man. The boys will be out to beat him, for a dhap who wins three important individual trophies during the same campaign against the type of competition he has faced is a lad to be reckoned with Odds and Ends Chicago will get a chanc© to see for itself if Eulace Peacock, the Temple flash who holds three out door sprint and two indoor sprint 'ictorjes and a broad jump triumph over Jesse Owens, can come back. He will run in the Daily News re lays on March Gth. Cornelius Jojhn son will also be present to compete in tt'.ie high 'jum[p.We'J John Henry Lewis has whipped A1 Ef toro twice now. If John Henry licks him again, they ought to let him keep the body. Tuskegee has awarded its wo men’s track and field team for its great showing at Providence, R I., on July 4tih when it won second place from the nation's finest. With somo of the girls undoubtedly vic tims of staKe fright and appear ing for the first time before a big crowd of white tjpecbatoifc, itjhey should by no|w be cured and this year ought to be ready to really bust marks.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Six Compoers Works On Cotton Club Show Under the personal supervision of Irving Mills, the score for the new show at the famous Oitton Club in New York is being writ ten by a half dozen famous com puters. The new show will star Duke Ellington and his orchestra! and Ethel Waters of "Stormy Wea ther” fame- The premier© will be staged about March 13th. Ellington will write original mu slo for a couple <»f the production numbers which Mills has suggested. .'Reginald Forsythe, the English composer wihq wrote "Serenade to a Wealthy Widow” and other hits, will collaborate with Andy Razaf, another another noted colored wri ter, on several numbers. Lupin Plen and Lee Wainer have ccfapl cited a sensational number “Strike Mu Blue," for the new Another team for song writers, Leo David and Don Rodman, who were responsible for the current hit, ‘‘The IXiAess Had the Duke for Dinner,” have been placed under contract by Mills and also are work ing on the score. Bill Robinson Selects White Girl As Dancing] Partner In New Film Los Angeles, Calif., Febr. 27 (ANP—Comment rather captious in character Is running the gamut in moving picture circles here be cause Bid Robinson has interceded with studio officials in behalf of a white girl who wifi work opposite him in “Cafe Meitrople” the new 20|th Century Fox rn'ivie. The whita girl will blacken her face to dance as Bojangles partner in the pro duction and speculation is rife re garding Robinson’s failure to choose a colored girl for the favored spot siince there are so many capable dancers eager to share the favored spot. Geneva Sawyer, a white dancer on the Fox lot has been given the role, is reported to have profited through Bojangles’ free hearted teaching of his dancing steps to her as well as to many other white per sons ifl the studios including Shirley Temple, Eleanor Pqwell,, Eleanor Whitne.y, Tiny Gamberelli andAylolph Menjau. Bill Is said to have been bij delighted with Miss Sawyer’s ability to mimic his steps that he W'ent Ito considerable len gths to have her cast opposite him. Robinson’s vogue and his insistence are said to have encouraged studio officials to overlook the fact that a white wman will be dancing with a Negrq artor, the fact that she will be in black face proving a mi tigating factor Bojangles is one of the most po pular of the Negro performers am <fng the white actors and studio attaches in Hollywood- He has a flair for cultivating the opposite g -oup and and often stages elabor ate functions to which he invjtes all and sundry- He can frequently be fitund in the center of a group of whites, regaling them with his in imiablo stories usually portray ing some senegambian in a humor ous role. Footlight Flickers (By At Moaee for ANP) The Real Dope On R)la Fitzgerald Now York, Feb. 27—Currently the st<ry hn« been going the rounds these past three week* In which the “writing boys" have sort of contradicted themselves at times, concerning tlhat pojrm'ar “swing singer” Ella Fitzgerald. Possibly you have or have not read whcnein a certain mMpstro Benny Goodman, had dangled $6,000 (all at one time), in the face of the businesslike C^aiok We(bb, in order* to snare the exclusive ser vices of the ex-amateur nite prodigy Doubtless y^u listened to the “pro and con” chit-chat that naturally joes arise from such controversies where more than a five-dollar bid tends to bind the panties thereto. ..and should we add in aiur legal minded fashidn, thereunder. But, aflter pulling a rabbit or tw<> 3ut of the hat ala “Black Herman (bo^m). we come up with this rather startling bit of Info that be rightfully characterized as a true yarn. First, just in order t° keep all of the record books for future pos ter!!/ sort of okey-doke. THERE NEVER WAS ANY SUGGESTION OF SUCH A SUM AS $5,000 IN QUESTION. Rumor hits been run ning amuck t't tthe extent that pleasing UtAlo Ella has been work ing for the “slave’s wage” of $20 weekly, wherein the “Chickadee,” has been siheUing out to the tune of FIFTY-FIVE SMAICEROOS (i55) for every seven days of toil before the flickering globules. Miss Fitzgerald, is never con tracted along with the band. Her services are secured under entire ly separate working agreement- Mr Goodman used our “Harlem Swing ster Par Excellence,” some three times at the ratiher fair rate ol I . iuar&ntM to help you sot • n** ti life.
