By F. M. DAVIS HARD ON LOU My heart goes ..out to Light" .. weight Champion Lou Ambers, who will probably fight Featherweight King Henry Armstrong next year. Last Monday night in Ceveland, Ambers battled Frankie Wallace uhle Armstrong took on Tony Chevez. The bouts followed one an other in the same ring. It took Lou the full 10 rounds to decision Wallace. Armstrong knocked oat his man in two min utes and four seconds, after Cha vez ha-d probably set a world's re cord by going to the canvas seven times in that short period. Tony look like a man taking setting up exercises. Ambers hardly reached tho rubbing table before it was an nounced that the Huricane had struck again, Laving the still car cass «f Ohav«z in its wake. For some time now. Ambers h is been bearing the experts say that ones they get in the same ring, Armstrong will be the new light weight champion. Maybe he pooh poohed their prophecies, for he had never been close enough to the dan ger in Henry's flailing fists to view them with the proper terror. Btft Monday night it was differ ent. He had a chance to see their effort from close-up. Onlv minutes separated their ring appearances Ambers oould watch fom his dress ing roam the battered form of Cha vez as it was carried past and whispers, "But for the grace of Allah, there goes Lou.” This, as I see it. makes it hard •n Ambers. He may laugh and boasb hut if and when he faces Armstrong, his mind is bound to return to last Monday night in Cleveland. The fear of Henry has bee* planted within. I say again mv heart goes out to Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers, for I hate to see ary man walk through life suffering agonizing tortures of the krewingly damned. • ' V *• v • if ... *.**• ij, e- ■ ■ - aid RNDS Although Kenny Washington.

Only a res training order issued by a local judge permitted Jack Claybourr.e. known as the Negro heavyweight champion, to meet Alex Kaffner. 218 pound*r from Birmingham- in the feature of a card presented at the Memorial auditorium Tuesday night for the Judge Fletcher Christmas fund to aid the city's needy. Plans to hold the charity affair had been made when it was learned that Wurbarger had turned thumbs down on the Clayhoume-Kaffncr match because “it is the policy of the state athhitie commission to refuse permission to colored ath letes to wrestle in the state of In diana in mixed matches/ However, both athletes involved are Negro es. A long distance call put in by the editor of the Gary American, local weekly to the commissioner’s office at Indianapolis brought con firmation of the statement, with the added assertion that neither Clayboume nor any other colored wrestler would be permitted to show his wares in Gary. The res training order was then obtained. In an extra edition, the Ameri can pointed to 'thh segregation practiced by the guards at Dumas State park last summer in which a party of Gary and Chicago so cial workers were banned from swimming, and urged Indiana ci tizens to demand of Governor Townsend that he immediately re- ‘ move Wurbarger from his s'ate position.

Anti-lynching legislation should have been voted on years ago. For a southerner to say less after all these years of inveighing against the evils these measures are designed to correct would mark him a whited sepulchre before his own conscience.” DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT Arkin’s MEN’S SHOP 1409 FARNAM Paxton Ho+e!
