J. D. "FATS" LOWERY
We sincerely hope that the Min-
ion« carry their batting eye into
the play-off series with Houston.
We feel that if the batters deliver
that Kowalik, Wiltsf, Miller and
Walkup will hold Houston. Our
chances, though
look rather
meager for
Houston has a
wonderful d e-
fensive team
and with Greer,
Payne, and
Fisher pitching,
any team has to
have a little luck
to beat the
Buffs.
We don't think that CILft can
•tick in the big leagues but under
the expert coaching that Walkup
will receive that he will develop to
be a winner for the Browns. The
latter part of the season showed
us why Wiltse can't make the big
league grade. He is too erratic.
Every one was inclined to (ensure
Clark Griffith, owner of the Wash-
ington Senators for firing the Big
Friar, Walter Johnson ,one of base-
ball's most beloved figures. But
baseball is a cold blooded business
and results count. Coe Cronin has
delivered and is leading Washing-
ton on to the American league pen-
nant and so every one has to doff
their hat t > the old Fox, and admit
that he knew what he was doing.
Bill Terry has aiso worked won-
ders in his first full year of man-
aging the Giants. He has taken a
misfit team of castoffs, that ex-
perts relegated to the second di-
vision and has them well out in
front of the National league.
Atlanta Boy Is New
Nat'l Golf Champ
pHICAGO.—(ANP)— A lan.
^ ky youngster from Atlan-
ta, Ga„ H. Wheeler, is the new
national professional golf
champion, winning his laurels
from a classy field at the Sun-
set Hills club Labor Day in
the annual tournament of the Na
tional tournament of the National
Colored Golf Association.
Runner-up to the nonchalant At
lantan, was Edson Marshall, the
New Orleans specialist and former
national champion. Robert "Pat"
Ball, Chicago, placed third.
First ,)lace money, presented by
Henry Daniels, president of the
Sunset Hills club was $100. The
runner-up received $66.
Mrs. Julia Siler is the new wo-
men's champion, defeating last
year's champion, Miss Lucy Wil-
liams of Indianapolis. Miss Marie
Thompson, Chicago, placed third.
Trophies were presented to the
male players by Congressman Os-
car De Priest and to the women
by Mrs. George Cleveland Hall.
Representative William E. King
acted as master of ceremonies.
One of the features of the meet
was an airplane flight by Johnnie
Robinson, founder of the Challen-
ger Air Pilots Association.
We only .iope that the Giants will
clinch the pennant long enough be
fore the end of the season to give
their overworked pitching staff
some rest that they might enter the
World's series at top form. We are
pulling for the National league this
year in the annual classic.
• • •
Metcalfe's achievements as a
member of the U. S. track team
that toured Europe, did not receive
much attention in the press. Maybe
everyone knew Metcalfe was a
cinch to win and the only news
would have been his defeat in one
of his two specialties. We feel that
for the next four years, Jesse
Owens is going to steal the show
in the track world.
• • •
We note from press reports that
Coach Kippe of Michigan is plan-
ning to use Wilkis Ward as regular
" fTght end. He subbed for Michigan's
captain last year and almost
-benched the captain. His most out-
Uatanding achievement on the grid
last year was his single handled
defeat of Princeton, a school that,
although in New Jersey, does not
admit Negroes. We do not know
why but the perusual of the picture
of football teams in this year's
guide, shows that there are more
Negroes playing on the Midwest
football teams than teams from any
. til her section of the country.
San Antonio, this season is of-
fering quite a tasteful menu for
the followers of the pig skin sport,
especially not to be a college town.
• « •
To our mind the Texas "Centen-
. Ary game is going to be the classic
'pt the season." Centenary is a jinx
to the conference teams and Texas
T. this year is primed to avenge last
~ year's defeat. Somehow we don't
- look for Westmoorland to have a
-vary successful season. Although
^fhey have assembled quite a group
^f ex-high school stars, the transi-
tion from high school to cillege
football is quite a step and luite
trften the high school star flo',is in
•ollegiate competition.

WITH FARLEY IN KANSAS

Postmaster General James A.
Farley received a delegation of Ne-
groes prominent in Kansas City,
state and national Democratic cir-
cles in his suite at the Hotel Mueh-

group for the support given by Ne-
groes in the Roosevelt campaign

would share in the administration's
patronage. The delegation was

They were then told to CLIMB IN.
The insulted holders of tickets re-
fused to climb in the baggage car
thus prepared for their "first-class" |
travel and protesting vehemently
demanded their money back.
This was tendered them at the |
ticket office.
The entire community w a«
shocked at this unprecedented
treatment. Dozens of parties of Ne-1
groes this summer, urged on by the
activity of the Boosters club, used
the Missouri Pacific for travel, and
to be accorded such treatment here
in San Antonio has been the oc-
casion of much strong protest.

B. P. O. E. of W. had their formal
opening last Monday night at their
club rooms, South Gevers street.
The club rooms were beautiful, 'i ne
back yard, cool, clean and lovely
and the members nice. They
have been quite adept this summer
at serving the community "tur-
keys"—a nice big fat one July 9
with the baseball flop, and later
another not so rancid as the first
-but—phew!! and a couple of
phwings"! When it comes to dish-
ing out odoriferous chicken salad
they have 'em. Several dozen well
groomed guests at 40 cents per,
had their lovely evening suddenly
changed into first one thing then
another when the said service that
went free with said 40 cents was
brought forth. Phew!! again.
Leaders of the affair explained
however, that owing to circum-
stances over which they had no
control, the chicken salad had
"gone wrong" and that at the ex-
pense of the "chef," holders of
tickets would be re-entertained at
the same place, same time, but not
the same salad September 22. The
good natured crowd danced it off,
wishing the Elks better luck next
time.

both surprised and apprecia-
tive, when Mayor Edward J. Kelley,
sent them a check for $50 to be ap-

which they maintain for the aid of
worthy and promising students.
Deputy Coroner Clifford Wheeler

Sunday afternoon in delivering the
welcome address on his behalf, re-
turned on Monday morning with
the information that the mayor had
been so much impressed by the re-
port of the splendid work which
the organization was doing, that
he wished to make a contribution
toward it. Mr. Wheeler thereupon
presented the check which Presi-
dent Gladys Sheppard received
with a graceful speech of thanks.
