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. And we hope they do.

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.

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
