BASEBALL vs. FOOTBALL
A MINOR CONTROVERSY
, NEW YORK CITY (CNS)-When
you hear these things in the sum
mertime, you can always blame it
. on the heat, but when they come
. up during the chill of fall and
winter, you wonder why. Right
, now sports enthusiausts are hudd
| ling over the question of baseball
versus football.. which is the more
I sporting game? What they’re try
ing to determine of course, is
which of the two sports gives the
Negro athlete a better break.
Football should win in any ar
gument where all the angles are
taken into consideration. It is a
game based on outwitting the op
position with faster thinking, and
personal contact is the very es
sence of this modified form of
sanctioned mayhem. Negro foot
ballers usually stand out and they
are consequently a marked target
on the field, but there have been
few incidents where racial feeling
has replaced sportsmanship in a
tackle.
Whenever a Negro has the goods
in football he gets into the game
and with the whole-hearted sup
port of the team. Levi Jackson up
at Yale is a one man football tor
nado who almost wins singlehand
edly. He is an inspiration to his
team-mates and a hero to the Yale
rooters. Now. you take baseball
well, that’s it, you take it when
it comes to sportsmanship about
playing Negroes.
THE CHAMP LIKES
BEING THE HOST
Despite reports that his venture
in Harlem is not paying off at this
writing, heavyweight champ Joe
Louis is reportedly considering a
similar project in Detroit. They
love him in Detroit, as they do
almost everywhere else and maybe
a glamorized saloon would show
quicker profits in this location. It
is quite possible that the many
rumors naming Uncle Mike Jacobs
as the real owner of the business
and putting Joe on the basis of a
front man receives a yearly sum
for the use of his name, has some
thing to do with the seeming lack
of pubic interest. Joe plans a radio
program featuring Negro celebri
ties to call attention to his Harlem
Bistro. The show will premiere
in about two weeks.
BEAU JACK’S MANAGER
SEEKS REVERSE VERDICT
Angered over the decision of
• Referee Paul Cavalier which gave
six rounds of ten to Buster Tyler
Chick Wergeles. Beau Jack's man
ager sought redress by appealing
to the New Jersey State Boxing
Commissioner, John Hall.
Protesting the surprise verdict,
Wergeles wired Hall, "In view of
the unfair decision rendered a
gainst Beau Jack, I appeal to you
to suspend referee Paul Cavalier
for incompetence and to reverse
the decision”.
Cavalier, the only official at the
fight, according to New Jersey
rules, gave Beau only 3 rounds
opponent Tyler 6 and i even. This
was in spite of the flooring of
Tyler by Beau in the first and
eighth rounds.
NEW DATE FOR MONTGO

By Jocko Maxwell
NEWARK, N. J.— (Global )_
Some sweet day top flight athletes
will learn that the underdog opp
osition is not to be treated light
ly. Failure to respect the punch
inf ability, the intestinal fortitude
and' the rock-ribbed defense of
Buster Tyler cost Beau Jack,
welterweight kingpin, a hairline
decision last week at the Elizabeth
Armory in the Garden State. We
agree that the bout might have
been called a draw but certainly
the former shoeshine boy’s eff
ots would not have given him a
clear cut decision over the Newark
battler. It was evident after the
first few rounds that Beau Jack
looking over the hill to future
battles for mamoth purses, felt
that he could put Tyler to sleep
whenever he pleased. Such was
not the case, much to Jack’s dis
pleasure.
We admire the fighting spirit
of Freddy Burgess, New Univer
sity halfback in last Saturday’s
NYU-Gettysburg game. With his
team trailing 7 to 6 with two min
utes to play, Burgess fumbled the
ball on Gettysburg’c four yard
line. Gettysburg recovered and at
tempted to kick out of danger. It
was a fine 50 yard boot. Burgess
playing safety man. caught the
ball and aided by good blocking
emulated Red Grange as he side
stepped, swerved to and fro and
reared over the Gettysburg goal
line for the game-winning six
pointer.
Paul Patterson's great all round
play for Illinois resulted in the
fighting Ulini pulling one of last
Saturday’s biggest upsets in the
whipping of the highly favored
Michigan 13 to 9. Once again
Buddy Young was held in check,
however, in bottling up Young
Frit* Crisler gridders permitted
Patterson to run at will, spelling
their downfall.

THE ROAD
TO HEALTH
FOOT NOTES
By Theo. E. A. McCurdy, M. D
LRCS., Edinburgh, Boston, Mass.
‘‘I always feel tired all over”,
Mrs. Jackson said, as she sat down
heavily in the chair beside my
desk. Her shoulders and her eyes
filled with tears. “With three
children and a husband to do for
I mustn’t feel tired. Maybe there’s
something wrong with me”.
I gave Mrs. Jackson a complete
physical examination. She seemed
in good condition until we got to
the feet.
“My feet and legs do give me a
lot of trouble’ she admitted. “I
get aches and cramps in my legs
and my feet hurt a lot, I guesa be
cause I'm on them so much”.
It was not surprising that she
fait “tired all over”. X pointed out
to Mr3. Jackson that weak and
painful feet result in lowered en
ergy and vitality. The trouble was
not somuch that she was a busy
housewife. Nor had she inherited
any foot trouble. The fault lay in
the way she had abused her feet
It was clear that she had broken
down her arches by wearing badly
fitted shoes for many years.
’‘But, doctor, I wear these arch
cupport shoes,” she protested. The
shoe salesman said they would
help me”.
I exDlained to her that an ordin
ary shoe salesman is not trained
to fit corrective shoes. In most
cases, there is no need for the self
inflicted torture of such shoes for
normal feet. They are supposed to
rlieve arch troubles but actually
they may weaken arches even
more and cau^e flat feet. Metal |
supports i na shoe should never be i
worn without a doctor’s advice. 1
The fact that Mrs. Jackson was
too heavy had also weakened her
arches.
I prescribed a reducing diet, foot
exercises, rest periods for her feet
every day and specially fitted sup
ports to wear in her shoes.
Mrs. Jackson was surprised to
discover how important the feet
are to the general weel-being. She |
determined to make no mistakes j
with the feet of her three children \
and asked my help.
The Baby. Sally, was just begin
ning to walk, so I explained that
her shoes should have a pliable
leather sole and fit so as to give
plenty of room for toes to wriggle j
A child just learing to walk should I
wear a high shoe with no heel.
Town and city children who are
on hard pavements much of the
time need a firm sole to protect
the feet and take hard usage. The
older children also require a low
heel in order to walk correctly on
hard surfaces.
Joseph, aged five, was wearing
shoes a little too short, but no
permanent damage had been done.
Shoes of growing children should
be watched carefuly, because they
may outgrow them before they
are worn out. Jane, aged seven,
was already walking as if she had
flat feet: with her ankles bent,
toes turned out and body slumped.
Her long and slender feet had
grown a bit too fast and had been
weakened during the time she
spent in bed with scarlet fever.
We had to teach Jane to walk all
over again with the proper rolling
heel and toe gait. It is very im
portant fo ryoungsters to learn
good habits of walking and stand
ing. It may be too late to cure flat
feet when they are grown up.
I also warned Mrs. Jackson to
be sure her children got plenty
of cod liver oil and Vitamin D to
prevent rickets, which softens the
bones and causes foot deformities.
It is not enough to put them in
the sun because the health giv
ing rays are often filtered out by
smoke, cloudy skies and window
glass.
Another important factor in pre
venting foot trouble is proper hy
giene. iEveryone should take a
daily foot bath, followed by care
ful drying especially between the
toea. Hosiery ehtxafl be «hM at
