Xavier Coaches 'Singing Blues' As Season Hears NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22 (By Charles de Lay for ANP) The departure of 14 first stiing gridiron warriors from the Xavier pigskin aggregation for reasons of graduation or eligibility caused Coaches Theodore and Giles Wright considerable concern at the close of last season. However, the failure of some of the star eligibles return for practice, gave them further cause to worry as the Gold Rush began its prep for the' current season. Added to the aforementioned handicaps has been the influx of small men, principally linemen, thereby creating a line problem.

An old man with a scythe. "Tour Man" Dixon has previously discussed this mythical Samaritan.

Mentioned his inevitable forays into the ranks of sepia diamondeers. He's gotta replace the old nd worn with something new and vibrant It'a what our big time baseball neede. Neto face: Neo names. New stars. Like Sill Wright, Johnny Taylor and Sammy Bankhead.

It's a guaranteed salvation. Remember when Slim Jones emerged from the obscurity of the Baltimore backlots to become a burning satellite brilliantly across the baseball horizon of 1934? He brought with him that brand of appeal that lures folks out to the ball park and stimulates interest. His appearance teas a tonic. We need some more fashioned on the Slim Jones mold. Some daring, reckless, colorful individualist.

Some personable chap who, by dint of ability, and that certain indefineable something, will rear himself above the pack and inject the serum of renewed interest in a lagging pastime. Make no mistake about it, big time Negro baseball is lagging. Every team in the Negro National League setup lost gold this semester barring the Homestead Grays. This fact has already been entered as testimony. It's developed to such an alarming point that any given lad of J6 can have his granddad tell of his own boyhood admiration for the majority of those icho are still campaigning'in the sepia big tent.

Iron wears out and folks have tired of looking at old men the same old moth eaten men in action. The owners should scour the hinterlands, comb the urban centers. Send out a clarion call for new talent. I'll give 'em two names to start with, in Joe Hall, an outfielder and Clint Lee, an inflelder. The owners then should protect the youngsters from the cliques and tricks the staggering vets have resorted to in the bygone to discourage and eliminate youngsters and so preserve their own billets.

Lewis Adamick Rematch Desirable and Justifiable Post mortem on find more than one ite First off the list the John Henry Lewis Jimmy Adamick fight emerging as preferred morsels of comment is the assurance that a return engagement of the two fighters: is not only desirable but justifiable. I Tou can tors an extra bunch of verbal bouquets at the deporU ment of these two pugilistic titans; even add on a few deluxe adjectives and yet fail to convey a description of the whirlwind tattle Ihey put up. It tms a fitting inaugural for indoor fisticuffs on the major side. It all blends in nicely with' a big time campaign that will find John Henry definitely removed from barnstorming on the hick. circuit and firmly entrenched in the shots that return dividends.

His tieup with Philly's Herman Taylor with the assurance that future victories will lead to successive bouts with Tommy Farr, maybe Jimmy Braddock, and Tony Galento (probably outdoors next June), should net him enough to retire on easy street John Henry, against Adamick, proved that he needs only a knockout punch to be the world's greatest fighter. Joe Louis never saw the day he could maneuver or box with John Henry. He is a master. And all doutrfs as to his ability to take it are now removed. So are whispers crushed that he was tottering on the brink of oblivion.

That he had seen his best days. John Henry has a dozen good fights left in him. Barring accident or injury, of course.

This time the ballot comes from none other than the great Dizzy himself, incapacitated ace of the Chicago Cub's pitching staff, who writes a daily column for one or the local afternoon pa pers. At the same time, Dizzy lamented the absence of star colored players from the big leagues. Said Dean in Thursday's column: "A bunch of the fellows get in a barber session the other day and they start to arguefy, about the best pitcher they ever see, and some says lef Groves and Lefty Gomez and Walter Johnson and old Pete Alexander and Dizzy Vance. "And they mention Lonnie War neke and Van Mungo and Carl Hubbell, and Johnny Corriden tells us about Matty, and he sure must of been great, and some of the boys even say old Dia is the best they ever PICKS PAIGE "But I see all them fellows but Matty and Johnson, and I know whose the best yitcher I ever see and its old Satchcll Paige, that bi lanky colored Say, old DIz" is pretty fast back in 1933 and 1931, and you know nay fast Jaall looks like a change of pace alongside T4DILES, ADD AMI CIS.

The" bout billed for the heavy weight championship of Michigan, and is under promotion of the veteran Jack (Doc) Kearns, one time manager of Jack Derapsey and Mickey Walker. With a reported brisk sale of tickets, it is estimated the scrap will be waged before a house upward of $30,000.

To Guddy belonged most of the credit for the success of that team. I trust his obituary will contain only nice things. I'm writing on for myself and will bury it in my memory. Its outstanding theme is that Guddy always epitomised unchallenged sportsmanship, competitive zest and ability. i Grid Stars Prone To Break Tradition The history long tradition that no more than one Negro has been included on the ali America, rootoau team in we aune is due for a thorough overgoing if what the Crystal offers harbinger.

'P The name of many a sepia star must resound in the great gray stadia this fall unless fate comes charging across the scarred, turf and nails them short of the all American' goal line. It's gonna be a tough thing for the seers to ignore Fritz Pollard the 2nd, N. T. Big Etf Williams, Cornell'a Brud Holland and U.

They might oe saying soon Williams, 217 pounds spread over a 6 foot two inch frame, with the speed of a sprinter, the agility of a kangaroo and the shiftiness of an acrobatic simian. They're building the offense around him this year and Ed is prone to justify the promise of' his school days at Mount Vernon, N. when he was rated as the outstanding schoolboy back of the country. Holland, as tough as a marlin spike and as stubborn as. a jackass.

All American in 1337 and looking better this year. the greatest passer in collegiate ranks. Doesn't atop at that, however. Can punt run and defend from the manor born. ee son.

It's too bad those colored, boys don't playf in the big leagues, because they sure got some, great players.

That fellow Duncan which catches for. Kansas City is most as good catcher as Gabby Hartnett and can't say no more than that about a catcher. LIKES DUNCAN "I sure get a kick out of him. One time when I pitch against a socthern all star colored team for a' i Northern all star team, and Dun i can catches me, and he has a glove that makes that old ball pop, and he makes my pitch sound a rifle shot, and he tells them hit ters, 'boy don't get near that plate' Don't let that ball hit or it kills "And can they play around that ft infield. Say, the way they flip that ball around, you don't know where' 1 it is half the time.
