1 TheSporiBial Dfl By LEWIS E.k DIAL 1HE DEFEAT OF JACK SHARKEY by King Levinsky at Chicago last night is plenty evjdcnce' that the erstwhile wearer of the heavyweight crown is nearing the lower ungs cf the fistic ladder. Sharkey, who is reputed as having earned well over a million dollars, bad about decided to hang up his gloves long ago, but the lure of a couple of bouts with fat guarantees and opponents of none too high rating caused temporary defejrment of his retirement Such little weight was given the Levinsky match scheduled for September 15 that the former champ signed yto Tommy Loughran at Philadelphia September 27, and had planned on collecting fifty thousand dollars in less than two weeks. Sharkey had lost sight of the fact that the King had been, belting a lot of ham and eggs around the country and had thwarted the comeback of the ever popular Jack Dempsey. Sharkey jumped into the limelight when he took on Harry Wills, while the rest of' the white heavies were dodging the Brown Panther. His brags, boasts and arrogance soon gained the fans' displeasure and he was not a very populajr contender and champion.

Jack was once working out in a downtown gym and a group of colored boys were heckling and Sharkey took all their jibes and jaunts, then hushed them witlf the retort: "I can lick any colored boy you got" His fight with Jack Dempsey will always 'be remembered as a fistic classic, it was. Sharkey's conceit, or oven confidence that lost this battle. Wncther Sharkey carries out his contracts is problemaical and matters very little to the Boston Gob, as it is generally conceded that all the dough he has made is still in his possession and the wolf will have a (tough siege entering the former cham pion's njA 1 My account of the ball game between the BLACK GPANTS and New York Police Department at the Polo Grounds, was carried in part by my friend and fellow scribe Rallo Wilson and drew a protest from one Ed Pheian, owner of the Black Giants. Mention is again made of this fiasco to set Rallo right with his Mr. Pheian writes that I Should tell the truth about the games, well Rallo old boy, I told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I did not say that Joe Williams retired because of the calibre of his team but that he left the mound because the strain was too much, and that he did not leave the dug out during the process. of the game, evidently disgusted with the deportment of his mates. Roy. Roberts, who acted as manage and captain of the Black Giants, came directly to the box in which 1 sat with J. Dalmus Steele, Elk leader, and candidate for the State As sembly, Hunter Johnston, well known sportsman and athletic trainer, Arthur Bostick, respected citizen of White Plains, N.

drank liquor from a bottle handed by a spectator, went to the dug out and came back with a pop bottle and solicited more liquor from our box and other boxes along the field, carried it to otliej players on the bench, this was repeated several times, i he piayers mentioned Dy Mr. Pheian, were also mentioned in my column which reads to Wit, Spearman, Weston, Roberts the short stop, (not Roy) the bespectacled in fielder and the outfieldes all did well but their efforts went for naught: These players, with the exception of Spearman are all youngsters, and gave good accounts of themselves, and their deportment in the field was as a ball player's should be. Spearman has long been an acquaintance of mine since he joined the Homestead Grays in Pittsburgh and was always a good clean athlete, as was Joe Williams. Mr. Pheian states that I should not knock my own race, but boost it.

This shows how little Pheian knows about our Race, as the time has long since passed when we boost a project just because it is fostered by Negroes, but we are for Our People in every decent and respectable undertaking whether it be baseball, business or socials, ihd a bitterly opposed to all disgraceful gestures. We wish Mr. Pheian the best of luck if he intends to make a permanent outfit of the Black Giants, providing he rids the club of all players who come )ut on the diamond to stage a lark. If he plans to use Polo Grounds text year, let him enforce discipline on' the field, smoking and drink rr 'm I I I I 1 N. Y.

M. TO NOON 10c of "lne Emperor Jones, which is produced by 'John Krimsky and Gifford Cochran aridt released through United Artists. On Tuesday night of this week the screen play had a double world premiere in New York one at the Rivoli Theatre on Broadwav, and the other at the Roosevelt theatre, 145th street and Seventh avenue, Harlem. In both instances, the presentation was received with a few moments of dead silence followed by spontaneous applause after the spell had worn off. The Cast Brutus Jones Paul Robeson Smithers Dudley Digges Jeff Frank Wilson Undine Fredi Washington Dolly Ruby Elzy Lem George Stamper (soldiers, porters, church members, etc.) The picture version opens with a primitive scene of be feathered savages dancing around the tomtoms, and fading into a scene at the Hezekiah Baptist Church with the members getting happy over one of their members, Brutus Jones, leaving to take up his duties as a Pullman porter.

In the meantime, Brutus is busy saying goodbye to his sweetheart, Dolly (Ruby Elzy). Jones leaves and is shown ropes on the train by a th (Frank Wilson), and also shown how to have a good time in Harlem at the end of the un. He meets and steals 'Jeffs girl. Undine (Fredi Washington), and carries on for a year before he quits her and Jeff finds it out Over a crap game, Brutus kills Jeff and land) in a Southern chain gang. Later he escapes under a pile of rocks after killing a brutal puard.

He is not seen as a stoker on a boat bound for Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I. Learning that Kingston is an up to date city and fearing pursuit, Brutus dives overboard while passing Haiti and swims ashore. He is captured and taken before His Excellency, Lem (George Stamper).

He is bought by a white trader, Smithers (Dudley Digges). Eventually it is the firm of Smithers and Jones and after substituting blanks for bullets in the guns of the guards, Brutus bluffs them into thinking he possesses super natural powers, and so deposes the Excellency. He styles himself Emperor Jones and sets fashioning a real palace with countless mirrors and gaudy uniforms. For two and a half years he salts vvay a goodly sum of money and iJans remaining only six months longer before absconding. But his extortions and cruelty to his subjects cause them to revolt So, informed by Smithers, he decides to quit immediately and sets forth to make his way tlfough the jungle to the other side of the island escape on a French boat Hungry and.

tued, he stumbles blindly through the jungle with the tom toms ever beating; in his ears.
