NEIL SCOTT REPORTS ON
ISAAC WOODARD BENEFIT
1
Neil Scott, executive director of
the Isaac Woodard Benefit Com
mittee, and president of Neil Scott
and Associates, a public relations
firm located at 400 Manhattan
Ave.. in New York City, makes the
following statistical declaration on
the funds raised at Lewisohn Sta
dium, Sunday, August 18th, at a
benefit given in the behalf of
Isaac Woodard, the blinded Negro
veteran whose eyes were gouged
out by South Carolina police.
The idea of the benefit at Lewis
ohn Stadium was originated by
Neil Scott and his wife, Carol
Brice who served as chairman of
the Isaac Woodard Benefit Com
mittee with Joe Louis as co-chair
man and Mayor Wm. O'Dwver as
honorary chairman. The affair
was under the complete direction
of Neil Scott and was financed
through the Amsterdam News Wei
fare Fund.
Because of the inclement wea
ther the committee was unable to
make use of Lewisohn Stadium,
Friday, August 19th, which was
granted by the Citv of New York
to the Isaac Woodard Benefit
Show. However, on Sunday night.
August 18th, the Isaac Woodard
Benefit Show began promptly at
8 pm. and ended at 12 pm.
The delay because of inclement
weather necessitated additional
expense for promotion, advertising
and other particulars necessarv to
make the show a success on Sun
day.
Accordingly, Neil Scott and As
sociates would like to submit as
a partial report the following Sta
ll—=ia
, tistics which were submitted to
him by the Amsterdam News Wel
fare Fund Business Department.
Whenever subsequent data is re
ceived. Neil Scott should like to
announce thht he will immediately
make such data available to the
general public through the same
channels throughout the communi
ty which he used in promoting the
Isaac Woodard Benefit Show.
The show grossed 23,180.08. 18,
970 persons paid admission. Con
servative estimates point to the
fact that Woodard will receive at
least $10,000.
Of the 21,000 tickets printed, 17.
476 were sold. 1.465 were returned
and 2,034 are still out. There were
only 25 complimentary tickets gi
ven out.
In addition, 1.494 tickets for
standing room were sold at the
stadium doors the night of the
benefit. After that number had
been sold, the police ordered the
doors closed and would not per
mit entrance of any more of the
crowd outside which has been var
iously estimated in the neighbor
hood of 10,000.
Twenty-two thousand, seven hun
dred and sixty-four dollars and 20
cents has been realied from ticket
sales after the first count. In add
ition $425.79 in donations has been
received. Thus the gross income
for the affair was $23,180.08.
After the $4,000 government tax
is paid, expenses will amount to
about $10,580 on the first estimate
although all bills have not yet
been submitted. Balancing all
known and unknown factors it is
estimated $10,000 may be left over

TOLD HIS FATHER WHEN 6 YRS. OLD
He Wanted to Live in Omaha Nebr
Mr. Tuggy Simpson said to his
father in Mobile, Ala., when he
was 6 years old he wanted to make
Omaha, Nebr. his home some day.
When he finished high school in
Mobile for some reason he doesn’t
remember just why, he went to
Chester, Pa., where he went to
work for the Government as a
student in welding and later was
sent to Philadelphia in the Govern
ment ship yard there he became
a teacher in welding. He met up
with a misfortune while instruct
ing one of his students. He remo
ved his welding goggles to show
his student how to use the welding
machine. Unexpectedly the stu
dents' machine touched the rivet
and a flash sprayed across Mr.
Simpson's face and he became to
tally blind from this accident. He
was sent to the Government hos
pital. There he recovered his sight.
But in Pennsylvania where the air
is damp his eyes gave him trouble
so he was advised by the physician
to seek a sunshine climate. Mr.
Simpson said to his wife we shall
go to Omaha, my life’s ambition.
They came to Omaha and took re
sidence at the late
apartments at 27th and Erskine
Streets. Omaha’s climate proved to
be the cure for his vision trouble.
But Mr. Simpson became lonesome
for the roaring of his welding ma
chine so he took his wife to Cal
ifornia; San Francisco. He was
employed as a welder and in a
few weeks his expert ability got
him a berth as a foreman of the •
ship’s welders by the superintend
ent. In his new position he was
carried from one end of the ship
to the other and from top to bot
tom with his crew. Mr. Simpson
says now he ean take a crew of
men and build a ship. When the
war was over and the ray of the
machine began to subside, he mo
ved to Oakland, Calif., across the
bay. After spending a few months
in Oakland. Calif., he decided to go
back to Omaha, his boy hood wich.
He came to Omaha, joined his wife
and they became members of the
Mt. Moriah Baptist church. Mr
Simpson said he has lived a good
Christian life since he was 20
years old. After he decided to
make Omaha his home, he purch
ased a duplex apt. at 2430 Grant
St., where he now resides. Mr.
Simpson has not been a spend
thrift during the hay days. He is
now thinking of other investments
in Real estate. If you have a bar
gain give him a ring, phone AT.

Tex Boddie Wins 10th Straight Fight
World Herald Photo—
I ■ 7m— vw •
TEa BODDIE, sensational Omaha Heavyweight, knocked cut the
highly touted Charlie Roth of Ak:on, Ohio, in the second round of a
scheduled 10 round encounter at the Cily Auditorium, Monday night
Sept. 2nd.
JJust before the end of the open ng round, Boddie shot a long,
straight right which bounced off _
me umoaii s com.
Before Roth could catch his
breath, another terrific right land
ed flush on his jaw.
He dropped to the canvass, ut
terly cold.
But timekeeper Clink Clair, the
rascal, rang the gong as Referee
Alex Fidler reached a count of 2.
The bell saved Roth, but not for
long. They dragged him to his
comer, got him back on his feet
and sent him out wobbly for the
second.
Boddie, calm and cool but no
longer the cautious gent of prev
ious fights, knew exactly what
to do.
He drove home three solid rights
and as Roth started to fall, he
looped in a beautiful left hook.
Roth dropped with a thud—and
was stretched out cold when the
toll reached 10.
