TENNIS
By LENA E. WALDEN
Hello Folk*
Central Motor City Tennia club
held its regular meeting Wednesday
at Brewster Center. Things went
along smoothly except for the ripple
caused by the auditor's report and
on wrhicn Mr. Craig gave a very
impressive talk. The Central Motor
City Tennis club endeavors to put
on an extensive program for the
colored population of Detroit the
year round. During the winter, as
I've enentioned from time to time.
I we have indoor tennis in the gym
every Wednesday evening and bad
minton every Thursday evening
In addition to the tennis, we also
have ping pong and bridge or Chi
nese checkers on social nights,
u-hwh ari- every second and fourth
Wednesday In the summer we ;
have intercity matenes with Cleve- I
land, Columbus. Toledo and Chi- !
cage, all open to the public and ;
all without cost to the public. In
addition to the intercity matches
we have an open tournament here
,n Detroit and are well represented
in the New York open tournaments,
the Mid-western tournaments, and
the national tournament*.
Our club is small in comparison
with those of the - aTorenTentlohed
cities and although we lack the
financial support from non-active
members that they enjoy we man
age by diligently'applying" our-'
selves to attain our objective as
oullined to you above.
Don’t want to bore you folks, but
we of the Central Motor City Tennis
club are porud of our club and have
a reputation of being one of the
leading clubs in the .American Ten
nis association, so we just can't
help but crow' from time to time.
Then too. we do want you to know
what we are doing as we need and
appreciate your assistance in all
our endeavors.

WHITERS STILL FIGHTING

FORT CUSTER, Mich.—While the
fight-world is looking at the acts
of Joe Louis in technicolor, another
Michigan boy is still in clear focus
of the State's fans: and he is Johnny

I Johnny is a veteran in the camp
boxing circles for he has been -with

Quite a Rerord
John is the boy who fought Ros

champion, five times, won twice,
lost ‘wice and drew once. He is the
same lad that Poppa Dee took to
St. Louis and upset the applecart
of lrf*e Savold, whose managers
had tie wagon hitched to a star
that the" though would drag them
right into a New York title match
with the Brown Bomber.

of x:een culored boys and seven
white lads. This year the Colts
have had three track meets which
were with Southwestern, Central
and Red ford.
They beat Southwestern by an
overwhelming score of fifty-five to

a so.ire of forty-e.gut and a half
to thirty-.seven and one-half. The
twenty-sixth of last month North
western went out ot Redford with
a large ovation and practically
swamped them. This score was
sixty to twentysix.
Student Manager
The student track manager, Har
ris Cleveland, has predicted sev
eral champions. They are William
(Dewdropi Dunnell. Howard Cren

vard, James 'Arnold and Stimson.
These boys really should ti»ke cham

season. Halford Lyons. James Fears.
Charles Hoyht. Sieve Algier. Jake
