whilo fighting on teams in most
parts that had players of the op

obstacles, these boys had to be
great to steal the show away from
their Caucasian brothers in most
instances.

at all to have the following dream

Youngstown, Dec. H (By Simeon
S. 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

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.

The Battles of Kid Concrete- - -
By Ivouis O Hudson
The final day around the Kid’s
training camp, wag worse than a
bunch of Kids invited to a free
lemonade party. Friends neighbors
in* well wishers were there in
droves to see the Kid go thru his
last rites in tie camp for his bat
tle with the Horizontal Thunder
1- K. Nobody was disappointed for
the Kid did his number. For the
last days grind the Kid started
out in exceptional good form. He
assinated a whole pa nof Mothers
biscuits, countless numbers of
country sausages with pitchers of
Georgia cane and slabs of butter;
brought in on the finger becom
ing schedule by Grandma Hard
rock Grandpa Anvil and papa jun
ior. managers of the Kid were
holding their own near his side so
the whole hoard of strgedy was in
perfect trim. Resting from his arm
table exercise he read pages of
Popeye the Sailor .Man to help him
digest his fodder. 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

lasted the whole 3 rounds' sampl

inhaling the ammania bottle. His

in a diving pose, and at the count

position while the counts of 10 was

New York City, N. 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

Eddie Meade, a pencil man of n.O'
