Dft YOU REMEMBER?

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. That
horse sure loves this t ack 3 time
a winner here and there are a lot
more horse out there in the
bams that love this track so fan
keep your eyes on (Oakham,)
(Freeze) the next out. Some of
tho boys on North 24th street
sure came away happy the fi st
day of racing. Mr. Ramsey Pick
the winner cf the last race and
socked it in heavy also Eddie
llilden, Chail I Martin did right
well for themselves. Mr. Hawk
one of the best Colored dockers
in these United States is always
willing to give you his selecton if
he is asked not l!ke the average
race horse clocke who thinks that
bo is doing you a favor to even
speak to you.
1 noticed (Sweater) the Colored
tad that works in the Mutual-Vcpt
1> still very popular with the lad_
jos. lie somettnies gives them
nome juicy winners. No wonder
they cling to him. Mr. Carl Mon
tgomery the long and tru. ted em
ployee of the Jockey Room is "till
on tho job also M >. Dave Russ
who serves the Judges so effic
iently that his job seems secure
for a long time to come. There
are 13 Colored employe* work
ing at the track this year, very
good indeed. Thanks to the
Board of \kSarBen. On June the

pends to a large extent on wheth
er Joe Louis, who will be getting
ready to fight Tony Galento,
grants a leave of absence to his
secretary and Mich’gan’j track
eup'.ain, Bill Watson.
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

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

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.

ARMSTRONG OBTAINS $46,000,
RETAINS TITLE IN LONDON
Lon Ion, June 1 (ANP)—.Henry
Armstrong was preparing Friday
to bake his welterweight crown
plus $46,000 cash back to the Unit
ed States with him after decisive
ly defeating Ernie Roderick, Bri
tish champion, over the 16 round
route in Harj'ngay arena Thurs
day night.
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.

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.

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

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•

metronome, the devices he employi

An expression in tone, it will be

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
