again he compelled a cancellation
of a future bout by his opponent.
Harris closed Welch's left eye in
the eighth round of their bout.
While the decision against Har
ris was unanimous by the officials,
it did not meet with the approval
of a large segment of the 3 000
fans who paid a gross gate of
$5.510 42, these fans expressing their
disapproval by some lusty booing
Referee Eljner <Slim) McClelland
gave Welch six rounds, two to Har

given seven rounds by Judge Frank

Aussie Title; But Wait!

Associated Negro Press War
’Correspondent
SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA—
(ANP)—A big, strapping six-foot
five inch. 210-pound youth here has
set an outstanding pugilistic record
for this part of the globe. He is
Cpl. A 1 Hoosman. 2152 W. 30th
street, Los Angeles, who has rung
up a total of three major victories
in three icraps here. Al's sensa
tionalism doesn't come from the
number of battles he has fought,
but from the way he fights them
For instance his first go was
with the Australian continental
champ Herb Narvo, whom he
kayoed in the ninth stanza of
a scheduled 12-rounder before n
capacity house of 5,500 fans. He
displayed coolness, collectiveness
and a superior scientific agility in
outwitting his opponent. In al!
his scraps Al comes out on top by
sticking to this code.
Another Aussie, one Biddle Bid
dle, South Australian champ, kissed
Al’s glove in a "ligfils out” smack
in the third phrase of a supposed
12-rounder His toughest opponent
was one of our men, The Alabama
Kid. said to rank third by “Ring”
mag as middleweight scrapper. Al
won a decision after 12 stanzas of
hectic batting. This Is the extent
of his foreign service fighting. The
height of his glory in the States
was Pacific Coast Golden Gloves
champ, 1939
Al's pugilistic achievements in
the Pacific have caused much con
troversy. Since he has kayoed the
Aussie champ, the question arises:
Is he—or is he not heavyweight,
champion of Australia?*’ That sub
ject is a sore spot Some contend
the *crap was non-title, others say
i* was not definitely stated non
title before the battle. It is also
alleged that there's a clause in this

'Homecoming'’ on a small scale
Thrillers, to say the least, were
there for the spectators when Coach
Raymond Kemp, representative of
the teachers on the Lincoln All-
Stars’ team, and the famed Jackie
Robinson, of the Wranglers, took
to the field to save the honor of
their respective teams. Kemp's
fame dates back to his days as an
All-American tackle at Duquesne,
while Robinson, now a lieutenant
in the U. S Army, formerly an
All-American back at UC.L.A.
area’s boxing regulations that con
tenders for major championship
tilts must have been in Australia
a minimum of one year. So as
things stand Al is only known as
the uncrowned heavyweight king
of Australia.
Since his scrap with the Aussie
champion, his foreign service time
of duty has added up to more than
a year. Now Australian boxing
promoters are looking forward to a
return engagement between Al and
the Aussie champ this January.
There should be no question as to
the length of time Al has been here,
so his only problem is to see that
i’ is specifically stated that the
scrap is for the title.

Harold Dufuchard, former star

off man for Friars Al« five, a card
from somewhere In Italy . and
the Chicagoan, now serving with
the ground crew of the 99th Pur

send him a box of cigars . but
George is puzzled as to where {;e
can buy the smokes for his friend
. • . what with a scarcity of cigars.
The recent upheaval in the wom
en’s division of the Motor City
Bowling league which terminated
with a three-week suspension
tagged onto Virginia Dolphin, cap
tain of O'Donnells. offers concrete
proof of the need to halt the heck
ling and unsportsmanlike actions of
some of the players, sponsors and
spectators ... It should be curbed
now before It develops into some
thing more serious . . . Officials
of other leagues should also take
action.
Al Price, only member of the
Harlem Globe Trotters to play the
full game here Thanksgiving, was
regular shortstop for the Birming
ham Black Barons last season . . .
ind W. T. Welch, manager of the
Barons and coach of the Globe
Trotters, was not hesitant to predict
a brilliant future for Al . . . In
fact, he stated that Al, providing
he continues to develop as he did
last year, will be the leading Negro
shortstop in 1944 . . . Dr B. B
Martin, president of the Negro
National league, was In the city

said he came over to spend the
holiday with his son. Dr. D. B
Martin . . . but it is known that
he also talked a little baseball dur
ing his stay here . . . He,, was
very anxious to see and talk to Ben
Linton, owner of the Motor City
Giants . . . and indications are
that’ Linton will attend the win
ter meeting of the league this
month.

Ossie was five years of age when
his parents separated . . . the elder
Harris is employed In a Detroit

sponsor of the All-Star bowling
match, said those tickets purchased

Van Buren has gone in for bowling
and some of her good friends are
predicting the same success on the
