Norfolk won, but the pro rerbial postage stamp would have covered the finish.

With three unsatisfactory prelimi naries the big crowd was clamoring for blood, when at Kid Norfolk entered the ring, closely followed by Monsieur Siki. Announcer Hum phrey's introductions brought pro I longed cheer3 for each. Siki's boyish face and boyish grin put everyone in good humor and changed a lot 4 of newspaper made opinions of the foreigner. Bright green trunks worn by jmju. ana purpie ones on Norfolk were the touches of color in the prosaic ring.

A battery of cameras shot the ringmen. The field of battle was cleared and the clang lag bell urged them to the fray. With a rush they reached the cen of the ring and Norfolk dodged 11 a. rapier left to fall into a clinch Siki's right found its target in Norfolk's jaw. The Kid missed an in 'v tended uppercut and the Frenchman followed suit Both fell into a crouch and traded punches to the head.

A happy roar from the multi tude as it sensed that this was to be alight. Again a concerted rush to the bat tle Siki, swinging hi3 long arms 'like twin flails, missed repeatedly as Norfolk 'ucked and dodged sud den death. The Harlem man got in Si right to the face and the two fisted invader countered to the head and body. Then, standing, each with chin buried in the other's shoul der ripped blow after blow to back and kidneys the first of many such duels, while wild eyed fans almost raised the roof otf the arena.

Round after round they mixed it, both coming in, neither giving ground. They took blows to get in blows. Now it was Siki reeling from a blast, and then it was the Kid rocked from hair to heel? by a Senegalese sock.

Like Cheshire cats they fought and like Cheshire cats, it seemed, that both would be destroyed. But neither hoisted the pallid "pennant. Between the ebony shoulders of neither was there be swirching smear of yellow. Until the tenth rond Siki had a shade, but then the superior skill of Norfolk in infighting began to take its toll. With his face a pulpy bruic and blinded by his own blood, the battling one could only hang on and take it.

In the nightcap round a varrant swing coupled up with Norfolk's jaw and for a moment the American was out on his feet. Siki, however, could not follow up his advantage. Norfolk hung on till the fog cleared from hi3 brain and the final bell found them like the first, battling in the first line trenches. Siki can fight. He proved it tonight.

He also exploded the report that he had nothing but dumb luck and a punch when he met Carpentier. Anyone who can stand Kid Norfolk on his ear for nine rounds needs some little skill. The decision did not meet with the approval of all the paying guests. There were as many hisses greeting the award as there were cheers. The Singular Senegalese earned another chance and he should have it.

A high class ball park in Quakertown is on the market. The rounds at Broad and.Bigler streets, known as Shetzline Park, has been put up for sale. The price asked is in the close vicinity of $175,000. This plant has been the home of the "South Phillies' since it was opened two years ago. During their first season they shared it with Chappie Johnson's Royal Stars.

Shetzline Park is convenient to the Lombard and South streets section ar.d should make a wonderful locatioT for a first Negro team. There have been rumors that the Hilldale club would purchase it and move in from Darby. In view of the fact that they cannot buy their present location and only have a year to year lease there it does not look like the worst huv in the world. But $173,000 is a roll of money.

The question naturally arises, how much longer are we to be cursed with such political leadership as now disgraces us? What excuse has Mr. Howard for this vile apostasy? He deserted his race in its fight for the Dyer Bill and now when the Ku Klux Klan is pressing in upon us, on all sides north and south and right here in Washington as well, he comes out and asks us to sidestep the Ku Klux Klan issue as he has made a thorough investigation into its objects, purposes and practices. What is it that Mr. Howard has discovered that is so favorable to Negroes, that has not been found by anyone else, who also has made a thorough investigation of the infamous practices of this murder band? Surely, Mr.

Howard has not read Imperial Wizard Evans" declaration stigmatizing him and all other Negroes as inferior beings!
