Booker for ANP—“I’d think again now," blasted Tom Pinckney benched Chaney High backfield ace home again after watching Union nail Hampton, 6-0, at Hampton on Turkey Daw while his own varsity whipped Portsmouth, Va., 6-0. “Maybe I might go to a color ed school instead of a white one," continued the impressed school boy. "Up North, the folks have the idea that Negro football is far below par as compared to white football. That’s stuff,” related the' cholastic kingpin,” Negro football teams deserve a lot more praise and publicity than they get.” “In the Union-Hampton classic, I saw nice blocking and a wonder ful display of offensive and defen sive power. 1 wouldn’t have ex pected to see a better game any where under those conditions.” Al though quite lavish in his praise of colored schools, Pinckney, who wasn’t allowed to appear in Cha ney’s line-up against Portsmouth, had a notion to reject the prospec tive grid scholarships that have been offered him by large univer sities and attend a Negro school. In the Portsmouth white paper, an article appeared to the effect that Portsmouth school officials were “very, very sorry” to bar the Negro from the game and expres sed the opinion* that the ftuture might not hold such setbacks to Negro players. Coach McPhee re-! fused to book the southern team in Youngstown next year when the Portsmouth beads turned thumps down on Pinckney's participation in both the gridiron am] basket lall court has made him the most popular lad in th\ school. During his sophomore year, the brown star earned tow letters playing on the first, team in both sports. — —c Oo ARMSTRONG (JUTS JACOBS Manager Kddie Mead announced yesterday that “two-crown” Henry Armstrong is breaking away from promoter Mike Jacobs and will campaign independently hereafter. Before leaving for Cleveland with the lightweight-welterweight champion, Mead said he and Arm strong were deserting the 20th Century Club because Promoter Jacobs is trying to “force Arm trong into a lightweight title I t with i.ou Ambers, Promoter Jacob's reaction to Mead's announcement was this: “I've got a five-year contract with Armstrong and Mead. They can't fight in any place in the U. S. without my perm ssion. I'm not paying any attention to Mead’s statements. He sounded off like that: once before. You'll see Arm strong fighting Ambers for the lightweight title before spring.” Mead insists, however that Ja cob” contract will not hold good outside of New York state. ‘‘And if it does, Henry’ll fight in Europe or South America,” he aid. “We have many attractive offers from both places. We won’t fight for Jacobs’ doughnut money any more.” Mead is willing to have Arm strong defend his welterweight title against Ambers in Febr, but Ambers' manager. A1 Weill doesn't want to fight for the welter crown. ARMSTRONG GETS OFFER FROM l*\RIS, FRANCE New York.

Our hero after his bath, rubdown and dinner will be ready to show himself to the rubber-necking camp multitude. The Horizontal Thunderbolt fin ished his training the day before and pronounced fit by the home folk s Doc. Visitors said they had never seed him in such perfect fet tle. Thunderbolt was a consistent and busy fighter getting up and (Tf the floor wiping the canvas dust off his ring panties. In his whole r'ng career he always fi nished in a horizonal position on the ring canvass; so you see folks his name was rightful awarded next victim of defensive manly art took the bicyle very early, when the Ki(l caught him it was a sweet dream in the land of nod. With a yelling crowd that stamped its approval) for the Kid's work, Grandpa and Pop pronounced him fit as the Gerhian Peace Pact, for his coming battle with the Thun derbolt. Both men wert/in the ring strip ped for action ^waiting the sound of the bell before a packed house in the sardine like arena of the town ship Hall. The smiling Thunderbolt was telling h's best gal friend, how they would celebrate at the local Shinding after the bout while Papa junior was whispering last minute details t^b the Kid, as the gong sounded. Silence fell over the place, like a hat dropping on a carpeted floor; fcjr Thunderbolt was really doing his number in the Kid's face with a wicked left jab. Still crossing him with a one, two punch to the ribs and face the clever one was having things his own way. The Kid was swinging, him. He was one of those lovable kind of fancy fighters that the populace liked. His one major was forgetting to duck with his chin in the way. Say what you may, he was a real trial horse' and one ca pable of giving the Kid a real struggle long as it lasted. This time with a less experienced foe man to meet, the betting was that he would remain upright for the entire 10 rounds. I he Kid trotted out in his gym finery, lifted huge rocks tossing them to one side especially con struted camp, juggled potato sacks loaded with sand from a protrud ing left arm which brought cheers from the home town gang. He jumped rope in the ring listen ing attentively to (irandp./ y An vil Junior. His first sparring mate lasted the whole 3 rounds' sampl ing the Kid’s wares by constantly inhaling the ammania bottle.

This time he draped the top strand of the ring rope in a diving pose, and at the count of 8 he fell to his usual horizontal position while the counts of 10 was pronounced. Deafening cheers met the victor while hats and news pa pers found their way in the air, while in the ring, Grandpappy An vil and Hop Junior were doing the Rumba to the tune of “He's gone 3 ■ " - — j to stay.” Next week, Kid Concrete battles Double Jointed Joe. -U SPORT NEWS Tallahassee, Florida—Bill Bells Fieri-fa A&’M Rattlers can boast of one ol the be-’t all time records 'n college football.

Y.—Mike Jacobs, major Domino of the 20th Century Club and Eddie Meade of averoidupojs and rounton propor tions, came to a parting of ways after he would not sign to meet Lou Ambers ex-lightweight boss in a battle for the lightweight crown. Ei.die says Armstrong will defend the welterweight crown or nothing against him. There are a few reasons for this rift, first Lou in winning the 145 lb. crown should he happen to (less likely) would find the division too ti ugh, also he knows that he could nr' and never conceded chunks of weight as Little Henry does and be a winner consistently in this div ision. So Lou and his manager feel in winning there would be nothing to gain. The little California Clouters managerial board of stratedgy, claim, due to the unsettled condi tion of the N. Y. Boxing Cornish that if Lou should and would win the lightweight crown; he would; lay claim to both titles and let the i matter rest in the hands of the | RIG THREE and who could tell what the ruling of the General, Honorable and the Colonel might , be*. They have so many titles i volved between themselves th.it. one more would leave them in a perplexed situation. | Meanwhile at the offices of t >e , 20th Century Mike and his good ! Portfolio Minister of ballyhoo and printed stuff material, deny in b*g i letters that the real low down comes from the mistake of misftg ured dollars and cents. After re porting an advance sale with mo *e than $91,000 in the strong boxf Eddie Meade, a pencil man of n.O' little ability, started to figure on p. 37 1-2 percent basis. Then dur ing the grand finale in the gre ;s. report after Henry escaped the Bo lo punches of Cerferino. we find j the Fat Eddie pointing an accusing finger at Mike for causing him to | use the eraser end of his pencil to I figure Armstrongs end of the $79, 931 of the real American negoti able.
