RECORD ENTRY EJPECTED
FOR AMATEUR EVENT
AUGUST 20
DEFENDING CHAMP TOMMY
DONALDSON AMONG THE
FAVORITES
By Sanders S. Mason
--i .
St. Louis—The pages of history
will flicker back ami the moving
pictures of time will usher in a
new ern in Negro outdoor re
creational activities here Augti
20 when the vanguard of the mid
west’g top rank'ng Negro golfers
will point their big guns at St,
Louis’ difficult Forest Park golf
course. When firing gets under
way in the fight for Negro g >lf
dom’s greatest amatuer title the
Central Statu Golf Tournament,
the event scheduled hero via the
3d hole medal play route, will of
fer a gruelling test for nvdwest
ern shotmrtkers. Staged over a
course that offers a picturesque
Setting, banked on all sides by in
tricate lakes, lngoora and the
vagaries of a tough course, the
tourney will prove a heart breaker
for many.
Record Entry Expected
Advanco indications point to the
largest entry list in the nine year
history of the Central States Golf
Association. It will, no doubt,
draw one of the largest entries
ever assembled for a one day
tournament Herbert Love, St.
Louis’ newly appointed manager
of the tournament, said last week
that an entry of 120 midwest golf
ers are expected to compete in
tho event this yar. Love based his
prediction on the unusual possi
bility of several new' clubs par
ticipating.
New Clubs Expected
There is Ittle doubt that Kan
sa- City’s Heart of America Golf
Club and St. Louis’ Paramount
Golf Club which is the host this
year, will have the largest amount
of representatives in the field but
with Minneapolis’ Twin City Golf
Association sending a dozen play*
ers headed by the defending cham
pion, Tommy Donaldson and To
peka’s Twin Lake Golf Club, plac
ing its “big Bertha’s" in the field,
tho tournament will perhaps be a
wide open affair with tho fellow
who gets hot grabbing the trophy.
Other golf clubs that will be well
represented in the tournament
are: Vnlley Golf Club, Des Moines
Iowa and tho Swastika Golf Club
ef Omaha, Nebr. Special invita
tions will probably be issued to
tho Progressive Golf Club, Alton,
III.; Trophy Golf Club, Chicago;
Douglas Park Golf Club, Indiana
polis, Ind. Their aceptance will
swell the entry list to unprecen
dented proportions.
Donaldson, Shephard, Young,
Favorites
Holding the pre-tourney favorite
berth in the opinion of many ob
server* is the dimunitive Tommy
Donaldson, the slugging midget of
Minneapolis, whose cross-handed
swinging aided him to turn the
pressure on the boys last summer
to win the title over 'his home
course, he will be crowded by the
Mound City’s two chitstanding
golfers “Slantin' Sam” Shepard
Richard Young, both twice holders
of the Central States title. She
pard and Young are seasoned,
brilliant and colorful golfers and
will be gunning for the final niche
on tho three leg trophy. A vic
tory this summer for either of
them would send officials scurry
ing for another trophy.
Many Dark Horses To l’lay
Although the race will feature
the actions of the hardened veter
ans such as Charles Howard, Des
Moines; Boyd Galloway, Omaha;
Johnny Williams, Minneapolis;
George McClain, Kansa8 City;
Sherill Thompson, Topeka and Sam
Shepard and Richard Young of St.
Louis, this yearls event will see
aioro dark horses than any pre

UNITED COAL LOOSE 4 TO 1
WIN OVER FORT
OMAHA 10 TO 1
By Richard Stanley
United Coal baseball team was
beaten by Florence Merchants in
a well played game. The Colored
boys just couldn’t solve the of
fering of Kehm the ace flinger of
the Merchanth. He let the Coal
boys down with 4 bingles. Young
Hall and Scott and Manley, the
latter pinched hit for Young in the
9th and delivered a single in the
9th. It looked like the Colored
boys were going to start a rally.
Tho first 3 men up got on. Three
on and nobody out. Then this
boy Kehm went to work and struck
out the next three batters. Lee
Wright and Owens went down to
retire the side with 3 left on. Kehm
the only pitcher in the league to
.silence the big bat3 of the Colored
boys. Jack Wright the flinger for
the Colored boys pitched a grand
gamo only his control was a little

off. The empire eye sight was
putrid. At one time he calleS a
man out with only 2 strikes on
the batter. He called it 3 strikes
when the pitched had only deliver
ed 2 pitched balls. The ump was
cut late Saturday night of course.
The ump didn’t win the ball game
for Florence, he only helped a
little. The whole trouble was that
the boys just couldn’t hit the
apple when hits meant runs. One
thing was unusual during the en
tire ball game.
Hall, tho short stopper had one
chance and he handled it like a
champ. He threw his man out by
four steps. Charley Crump and
Clannie Lee. Also Young played
tho outfield like real champs. They
got everything that came their
way. The sun got in Young’s eye.
He had to miss the ball. Not his
fault.
I seen some of the old timers
out to wratch the boys play. Earl
MeCluther formerly of the Cudahy
Rex also Milt Wilson of the same
team. Goldie Davis of the same
team enjoyed the game, wishing
they were in there playing but
aro too old and stiff. Well I hope
tho boys win next Sunday. So I
will tell you all about it.

JAGGED LOVE
By Herman J. D. Carter
CHAPTER IV
Willa had promised Carl she
would leave Washington on the
same night he accidently bumped
into her on 7th Ave. in Harlem.
Why did she leave before her time?
See in this thrilling story brought
to you bv WHITE’S SPECIFIC
TOILET CO.
Go on with the story
"What on earth are you doing
here so early ? I thought you would
leave tonight Willa?”
“I planned to; but I had to catch
the next train after you left. Whaf
are you doing over in this section?”
"Oh just scanning with an au
thor’s eye,” he answered. "What
are you doing here in this section ?”
he smiled as his retaliational ques
tion evoked a smile.
"We’re going to see Imitation of
Life. It’s at Appolo.” Turning to
her girl companion she said: “Miss
Parks, this is Mr. Smith, the young
man I spoke to you about whom I
met on the train.
Miss Parks is my cousin,” she
concluded to Carl as they acknow
ledged the introduction.
“Won’t you have something cold ?
Let’s go in the delicatessen and
get a set up ... on me.”
“No thank you Carl. We don’t
want to be late for the next show,”
replied Willa obligingly.
“Same address you gave me in
Washington?” asked Carl.
“Yes; but phone me before you
come,” she advised, giving him the
number, which he quickly wrote on
his note pad and the girls left for
the theatre.
Weeks passed, and Carl’s atten
tion to Willa grew more and more
intense. They seemed to understand
each other because of similar pasts.
An affinity was bred between them.
They went out to parties and thea
tres together; but upon returning,
she always refused to terminate
the evening with a kiss. That act
puzzled Carl and it later became
a cancer on his mind.
"Sweetheart,” he said one night
after returning from a theatre,
"Why is it you are so loving to
me; yet you always keep me at
elbow’s length? Do you know you
have never kissed me?” he asked,
gazing into her eyes. She moved
uneasily, her color changing, as she
attempted to evade the question
with humor.
“Now, now, naughty boy. Must
n’t talk naughty.” Then she opened
her door and stepped inside, closing
it except for a small crack through
which she could talk. His face
showed dissatisfaction. “Good night
he said as he racily turned to leave.
She closed the door slowly and
went to her room and sat on the
side of the bed, holding her head
in her hands. She pondered for a
long time. “Oh me!” she finally
sighed, “He is sch a nice boy, and
has such a bright future, I can’t
ruin it! I just can’t!” she solilo
quized, bursting into tears.
Two weeks later, Carl received a
letter. He quickly tore it open and
read it. Then he ran to tne tele
phone and called Willa. "Sweet-'
heart! I just got a royalty con
tract from my publisher. My novel
has been accepted!”
“Which novel?” she asked.
“Mine! The one I have been writ
ing . . . the one I came here to
sell.”
“Naughty boy! Why hadn’t you
told me before this? That’s a nice
way to treat some one interested in'
you.”
“I know ...” he continued al
most insanely. “I’m going to sigit
it and send it back right now.
The next night Carl sat in Willa’a
reception room discussing his book.
“Why hadn’t you told me about
it before now?” she demanded.
“Well, simply because I didn’t
want to tell you about it, and then
it may not be accepted. Then you’d
know I was a failure.”
“Do you think I’m silly enough
to believe everytime a publisher
rejects a manuscript, that’s a sign
its no good? I’ve read some of the
struggles of writers and I think
I know something about the game.”
“You aren’t angry with me ara'
you?” he kidded.
Her expression showed a changa
of thought. Then she said: “Now
that you have come to New York)
and splashed her literary pool witli
your first novel, what are you go
ing to do?” she asked with a smile.
As his countenance slowly put on
an expression of solemnity and ha
stared at her peculiarly. Here color
changed. With utter sincerity ha
said:
“Willa, I love you. I have dream-j
ed of you as my wife and the mo-,
ther of my child, and I love you
for that dream."
She blushed and turned aside, and
looked at the floor. Silence pre
vailed.
“I’ve been married you know, and
have a child.”
“I know that. It makes no dif
ference. I’m in love with you. Will
you marry me Willa?”
“Oh Carl ... I can’t! I love you;
but it is impossible! I can’t tell you
why; but I just can’t right now
. . . for at least three years! T
can’t . . . Now go! Go! Go!” she
screamed hysterically and fell
across the bed and wept bitterly. '
What on earth is the matter?)
