Dft YOU REMEMBER? by Richard Stanley __ G I The Aksarben opened its gate Saturday, May 27 with a crowd of 7,500 Patrons. Some got wet because of the down pour, but the’r enthusiasm was dry and about half of that crowd was the fair sex. From all indications they did right well for themselves. Well, far*', I told you 3 weeks ago about some horses that didn't win .’ces nowhere else but Omaha Take for instance the winner in the 8th race lost Saturday (Lucky Cargo) that horse had 9 starts since he left here never finished no whore near the payoff but his first out here he w;ns like a top ami paid a juicy price.

Watson is the Big 10’s best bet to win thp discus, shot put and broad jump. A comparison of marks in the recent conference championships shows the Wolver ine star to be superior to the West ;n his specialties. If he goes to California, the Big 10 will have a good chance to win, but if he doesn’t go, the meet is virtually c<,needed to the Pacific Coast re presentatives. -0U0 UNITED CASH COAL WINS 9 TO 0 BY FORFEIT The sun was shining bright and the ball diamond was in per fect condition after the showe-1, Saturday night, and the Colored boys were awaiting the W. O. Booster ball team to show-up. But. Reasons bd t known to the Boosters they failed to respond. Thu Colored lads were ready with one of the best line ups that ever was represented in Omaha since 1931 with that laughable charac ter, Charley Crump ami the eve smiling Tapley and that versible Hall. No wonder the white boys refuse to show up. The boys got up a scrub team picked from the white boys and the regulars to entertain the crowd which num bered about 700 and was the crowd well phased? I say they were. Why two cages of monkeys couldn’t have gave the crowd mo-'2 laughs than Bill Young and Slick Lee and the umpire. Fans, you missed a real treat. After the game Mr. Dewitt Bill loaded all the players in his beautiful car and haulad them to Carter Lake, to be the guest of Mr. Atkins, Manager of Hamms beer to witnes a well played game. I think the Colored boys team is now ready to face the issue that confronts them from now on. They got that punch. Why Scott, hit two home -,uns off of some real pitcher. Bob Blair pitched 3 innings and allow ed one hit and walked none. John Owens is now coming to form nicely. You know after 5 years lay off you just can’t go like a champ in 2 or 3 games. Wait un til he gains his eye, then watch his smoke. I was told by the ever smiling Soup Lawson that he was going to sign that well known fly chafer, Stanley Wfheeler in left field if he do look out. for a pennant. That trio of fly hawks, such aa Clannie Lee, Soup Lawson, and Stanley Wheeler combination would bo the best in the league. Come out Sunday and root for the beat team in the league. Yours, in sport, Richard Stanley -0O0———■ IF BAER WHIPS NOVA ELZA THOMPSON SHOULD FIGHT LOUIS Female, N. Y. June 1 (ANP) —If Max Baer succeeds in de feating Lou Nova, in the Yankee Stadium Thursday night, then Elza Thompson, big brown heavy weight from Indianapolis, ought to fight Joe Louis for the cham pionhhip. This is the rather pithy opinion of fight experts who have covered Baer’s training camp. Thompson, a Chicago Golden Gloves gradu ate, was Migde’s spar ing partner and whipped him in virtually every training bout. Thompson had an embarrassing habit—to Baer—of making the California ex-title holder miss re peatedly and then socking him with solid and unexpected right hand punches. He consistently I outboxed and outslugged Max. In 1937 Thompson, who weighs 225 was eliminated by a close de cision in the Golde.n Gloves quar ter-finals at Chicago stadium. Had he gone on through to the finals and won he probably would have been disqualified since it was learned he had allegedly engaged in one o- two pro fights. He takes on Jorge Brescia of South Ameri ca in a preliminary to the Baer Nova bout.

It was a good thing that Arm strong collected his purse before the flight for the promotem went into the hold since only 7,000 spec tators were on hand despite the rapturous publicity given him in the daily press and his election to Britain’s most exclusive sport ing club. Little Hemy, weighing only 135 pounds to Roderick’s 145, three fourths did everything but knock out the English champion. He was suffering from a bad left hand (sustained in the Davey Day serapt and apologized afterwards, “I’m sorry I couldn’t put up a better fight, but bath ihpnds are sore and bruised.’’ He was careful to keep his punches up, fo~ in JEng land one low blow disqualifies a Iboxier and awards tihe fight to his opponent. Armstrong scoi^d repeatedly with his right hooll*anid had Rod erick seemingly on the verge of a kayo in the sixth, ninth, 11th and 15th rouonds. The Britisher had no defense for Henry’s bobbing and weaving style, and left the ring with a cut under his left eye, a mouse the size of a walnut ove- hi» right eye, and a patch of red over his kidneys the size of a pie plate. -0O0 MONTANEZ LOSES THOUGH WINNING TO DAVEY DAY New York, June 1 (ANP)—Al though Pedro Montanez, in the opinion of many ringts'de obser vers was far in front and win ning at. the time, he suffered the first knockout of this career at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night when his^welterweight fight with Davey Day was stopped be cause of a Wily cut left eye. Referee Frank Fullam halted the bout near the close of the 8th round to inspect the Puerto Ri can’s injury. After consulting Dr William H. Walker of the State Athletic commission, Fullam gave Day the decision on a technical knockout wi'nile a crowd of 7,122 jeered. To jjngsidetfs, Montanez did not seem to be suffering great ly from the wound sustained in the second when Day caught him off balance with a short right hand. According to many experts, a mong them Joseph C. Nichol*, of the New York Times,_ Day was “clearly beaten as far as the fight had gone.” Montanez weigh ed 144 one fourth to 137 for Day, who in hi’s last start suffered a 12 round knockout at the hands of Henry Armstrong. ———oOo NAVAL NOTES • In the old days before matches were invented a lamp was lighted at certain times aboard ship when smcfidng was permitted. All smokers got their pipes lighted from this lamp. Ships of our Navy today Still have ithe ‘smoking lamp’ in spirit, and it is_customary to say ‘the smoking lamp is lighted’ or ‘the smoking lamp is out,’ as the case may be, when smoking is or' is not permitted. Because Admiral Nelson once assigned a small brig to carry captives taken in one of his naval engagement"1, and because his sea men ever afterwards associated .that vessel with prisoners, the name ‘brig’ became the seaman’s universal slang for ‘jail.’ It is an old tradition that sail ors who have been north of the Arctic Circle rate the privilege putting both feet on the mess table after supper; while those who have made the passage around tho Horn can only put one foot on the table. All others must keep their feet on the deck. Did you know that the Golden1 NEW facts about Stephen Foster continue to come to light. A con respondent associated with the old music publishing firm of Pond A Co., which at one time had Foster under contract, states that the song. Louis Reid writer was a careful crafts man. Dissatisfied with certain words he had written for' his Negro melodies. Foster “often used to go down to the shop, then located in Woos ter Street in New York, to change them.” America is appreciating more ana more the genius of her greatest rwriter of songs. Latest token of her steem is a shrine which is to be built on the shores of the Swanee (or as it’s more correctly known, the Suwanee) in Florida. <►-* P Meanwhile, the race which Foster hymned so hauntingly is becoming more and more ambitious.musically. It is spreading out from its planta tion tradition, its “spirichels” and rhythmic excitements and is find ing expression in the art forms of opera and symphony and tone poems. Opera About “Haiti" Comes word to this department that the musical directors of New York’s World’s Fair are planning a production of “Ouanga,” an opera rf Haiti, by the Negro composer, Clarence Cameron White. A promi nent member of the American So ciety of Composers, Authors and Publishers, White is best known for his happily-titled “Bandanna Sketches.” which include arrange ments of such spirituals'as “Nobody Knows de Trouble I Seen” and "Sometimes I Feel Like a Mother less Chile," his “Cabin Memories” and “Levee Dance,” which is being featured this season by violinist Jascha Heifetz. White, violin virtuoso and com- ] poser received his early training ?t tlie Oberlin Conservatory ot Mu sic. Later he spent three years in London as a pupil of the famous English composer. S. Coleridge j'aylor. At "present he is serving in the capacity of music specialist on the staff of the National Recreation Association. His works have appeared on the concert programs of the Boston Symphony. Kreisler, Spalding, Ro and Hayes and Paul Robeson. Still Also Honored Another Negro composer, more representative of the modernistic school, who is to be honored by the New York World’s Fair ts the bril liant William Grant Still, a.s.C.a.p. Hi* si*-minute tone poem will at company the presentation of the City of Tomorrow in the Fair’d perisphere. Symbolizing a vision of Democracity, a merging of present and future, it has been written, it if said, in fresh, melodious music rather than in modernistic or the futuristic idiom. Thus, it is expected to be understandable to the great mass of visitors. P- P P Orchestrated for a full symphony band, it will have a spirited finale of nearly two' minutes of chorus with orchestra, the chorus singing the theme song of the Fair. Still worked more than two months on his six-minute compo• sition, using a time sheet and a metronome, the devices he employi Clarence Cameron White, A.S.C.A.P. (His opera "Ouanga" is likely to be produced at the New York World’* Fair.) in writing motion picture music. An expression in tone, it will be timed to the second with the de* veloping action of the changing vision. The composer was chosen by a World’s Fair jury in a novel man* ner. Various works by many men were played from records to the jury without the names of the com* posers being given. Still’s "Lenox Avenue,’’ written for the Columbia Broadcasting System and "From ,a Deserted Plantation.” composed for Paul Whiteman, won the Jury. There will be but a fleeting breath of jazz in the tone-poem, though Still is expert as a composer and arranger of jazz. The Jazz will ac* company—appropriately—the nighr life scene of the future city.
