Titus Giants Win One Game: Lose Two
Dennard Leads The Titus Giants In Hitting
Getting Three Out Os Five
Times At Bat
By Hayward Henderson
After battling for ten innings
Saturday, July 18, the Detroit Ti
tus Giants, emerged victorious ov
er the New York Zulu Giants, in
the opening game of a three-game
series at Hamtramck Stadium by
winning 8 to 7 in the tenth in
ning.
The Zulus outhit the Giants, gar
nered 12 hits to the Giants’ 10; but
tine support pulled Bosley out of
several tough spots. The Zulus
nicked Bosley for 9 hits in the
sixth inning. Bosley, however, was
pulled in the sixth and Lyn Lar
ry, who pinched hit for him, came
through with his fifth consecutive
hit as a pinch-hitter.
Samuel DeLaugher went in to
pitch for the Giants in the sixth
inning, and was touched for three
hits, allowing two runs. Richard
Dennard continued to lead the Ti
tus Giants in hitting, by getting
three hits, out of five times at bat.
Sunday, the game was a differ
ent story. Giants drop
ped a double-header, which was
packed with plenty of thrills. The
many loyal fans who witnessed the
double defeat were well satisfied
that they had seen a real ball
game and a home team which had
fought every inch to stave off de
feat.
The first game was another ten
inning affair, the Zulus winning 8
to 7. Mose Britten starting for the
Titus Giants gave up seven runs
and eight hits. Britten was pound
ed plenty by the hard-hitting
Zulus, who have improved their
team by adding several ball-play
ers who recently returned from
Bismark, North Dakota, following
the disbanding of the Northwest i
League, made famous by the migh
ty Satchell Page.
Kalahera, opposed Britten, but
had to leave the game in the third
inning, because of a charley horse.
He was relieved by Arbor, who
had plenty of stuff on the ball.
Crawford Montcrief relieved
Britten in the fourth, with the
score 7 to 5, in the Zulus favor. Ho
held the Zulus hitless for two
innings. With the score tied to 7 to
7 in the ninth inning, Burke miss
ed an easy roller, which should
have been an out. This, together
with a base on balls and a freak
hit, resulted in the Giants’ down
fall in the first game.
Dempsey Miller lost his first
Jr., John Woodruff and Mack Rob
inson. The two girls on the wo
men's track and field team are
Miss Tidye Pickett and Miss Louise
Stokes.
For the first time in Olympic
history, five Negro boxers will re
present the United States. Mem
bers of the team are Jackie Wil
son, 118 pounds; Howell King, 147
pounds; Jimmy Clark, 160 pounds;
Arthur Oliver, heavyweight, and
Willis Johnson, heavyweight al
ternate. The 18th Negro is John
Terry, member of the weight lift
ing squad.
COLUMBUS, O—(ANP)— Jesse
Owens, the Buckeye flash who has
surpassed all records of record
smashing tracksters, became last
week, on appointment by the Ohio
House of Representatives, Ohio’3
“goodwill” ambassador to the Olym
pic games in Berlin. Owens, who
qualifies for three Olympic events,

game of the season, after getting
away to a good start by winning
four games in a row. Miller pitch
ed brilliant ball all the way, and
the runs against him were all un
earned. The final score was two to
one. Miller was opposed by
Kalahera, who started the first
but had to retire on account of a
charley horse. Kalahera, however,
proved he was right, allowing only
four hits. Miller permitted five
hits.
Richard Dennard, bating star of
the Titus Giants, seemed to keep
all the visiting clubs guessing, be
cause he hits to all parts of the
field, and will hit almost anything
j the pitchers throw. With his amaz
ing speed, he also takes many
extra bases.
Salters and Dennard, along with
Ned Myler, round out a very good
outfield.
The Titus Giants have signed
Charles Justice and Dean Thomas

MACK ROBINSON
HASWEAKHEART
200 Meter Speedster
Forced Jesse Owens
To Make New Record
NEW YORK—(By Phillip Milton
Carter for ANP) —Running on
borrowed time —borrowed because
of a weak heart—Mack Robinson,
Pasadena Junior college speed
ster, illustrated the virtues of per
severance in his accomplishments
at the final Olympic tryouts at Ran
dall's Island, last Sunday, when he
placed second In the 200 meter
dash, and In doing so, froced the
invincible Jesse Owens of Ohio
State to better the Olympic record
to win, and also wedged out the
equally invincible Ralph Metcalfe.
None too little credit can be be
stowed upon this lad Robinson for
his accomplishment in making the
American Olympic team. Coming
from a family of very moderate
means, he has developed himself
into one of the country’s finest ath
letes. in the face of many obstacles.
After a physical examination while
In high school, he was forced to
have his mother sign a paper, ab
solving the school of any blame
in the event that his heart would
weaken under the strain of ath
letics. It is for this reason that
he doubts seriously if he will seek
additional laurels following ano
ther year of competition. However
he plans to return to Pasadena
Junior college in February to cap
tain their track team which this
year he lead to the Southern Cali
fornia championship, by compet
ing In, beside the sprints, the
broad-jump and low-hurdles.

filming of “The Green Pastures”,
which is rated in advance as one
of the most unusual photoplay of
ferings of all-time. Marc Connel
ly spent several months transferr
ing his stage play to the screen
and more than thirty actors of the
original Broadway play are fea
tured in the screen version.
Hollywood waited five years be
fore any company could make up
its mind to film the magnificent
fable. Then the Warner Profilers,
pioneers in many motion picture in
novations. bought the motion pic
ture rights from Marc Connelly
and hired Connelly to write the
screen adaptation and to cast and
direct the production. Casting for
major roles was done in New York,
but the actual filming took place
in Hollywood. The motion pic

On The Air Or

(By CHARLES ISAAC BOWEN)
(For ANP)
CHlCAGO—(Complaints have
come to me from readers of this
column because we do not give the
time of broadcasts. It is true that
that some of the programs are list
ed as late morning, early evening
etc., which is about as accurate as
a column which appears in papers
column which, apears in papers
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
can be. Time is so variegated;
Eastern, Central, Mountain and
Pacific, being divisions with fur
ther complications of daylight
savings of the cities until I have
deemed it best to let you watch
for the exact time through your
local papers.
The Swing Session, augmenting
in N. Y., which is now In it’s
eleventh week on the Columbia net
work every Saturday evening seems
to sound better at every broadcast.
Last Week the highlights of the
program were Stuff Smith and his
Onyx Club Roys with the ever
popular singing of Miss Billie Hal
liday. The program hits the air
waves neatly without any long
winded attempts at technically de
fining swing. The object, ap
parently, is to get over the idea of
a jam session. Miss Halliday and
Stuff Smith were their best in ‘‘l’se
a Mugging” and “Swing Time”.
Chicagoans who seldom have u
local outlet at the time Miss Midge
Willinms (whose programs origi
nates here) is on the air on a sus
taining program over NBC, were
given a real radio treat on her
weekly broadcast last Wednesday.
She had as her guest of honor
Hoagy Charmlchael, writer
of many popular songs, who after
paying the highest of compliments
to Miss Williams, played nnd sang
one of his popular tunes "Judy."
Miss Williams featured number on
the program was "Lazy Bones” in
which she sang in English and
Japanese. She promises an equal
ly as good program for this coming
Wednesday.
Ethel Waters, noted singing star,
will appear as guest artist of Ben
Bernie nnd All The Lads on their
broadcast this Tuesday evening.

Joe Louis has begun light train

the flashing radio revue with Shep

cluding Sugar Cane, Serge Flash,

and other stars. “Suzy’’ has been
adapted to the screen from the best
selling novel of the same name,
and relates the adventures of an
American chorus girl stranded in
London when the World >Var be

triangle romance, is married to
one man and then marries another
thinking the first husband dead.
The story races excitedly from Lon
don to Paris and the advanced air

“San Francisco” is now in its
fourth and final week at the United

larity of the Clark Gable, Jeanette
MacDonald co-starring picture, the
film engagement of the picture has
been extended through another sev
en days.

trend as other large cities in hold

The quintet Is making a tour of
the Eastern states with broadcast
schedules in some of the larger
cities. All with the exception of
Captain Wiley, who is a graduate,
are Htudents of the school.
Woodrow Wilson (surely any
one baptised with a monicker like
that ought to go places) really
"tapped on down” on Fred Allen’s
Town Hall program this week. He
earned the SSO prize with a week’s
engagement on Broadway, but what
made his intricate tapping seem
almost unbelievable, was the fact
that he was doing it on roller
skates.
Rex Ingram, who ought to get a
terrific build up as a result of his
role “Be Lawd” in "Green Pas
tures” being released this week,
was a guest on Rudy Valle’s pro
gram coincidentally with the pic
ture’s appearance in New York
City.
Whjch reminds me that Prime
Minister Hepburn of Canada has
backed down on the showing of
"Green Pastures” In the dominion.
Formerly Canada had banned it
as has England.
“I have not altered my opinion
regarding this picture,” said the
Prime Minister, Monday. "I still
think It is a cheap burlesque of the
Scriptures, but since so many min
isters have endorsed It I am will
ing to let the public judge whether
they or I am right.”
In Chicago the WPA colored
theatre group mny go into n down
town house if one can be found nt
a reasonable rentnl. They are pro
ducing “Everyman” this week in
the same Inadequate hall they
have been using since the project
began.

(By WM. T. PATRICK, Jr.)
Word has just reached us that
Joe Louis will begin his comeback
campaign next month against Jack
Sharkey, former world champion,
who having risen from retirement
had hoped to stop Louis’ meteoric
rise before Schmeling accomplish
ed the task.
Shortly after Louis defeated
Canera in his first appearance in
New York, it became definitely
known that he was a coming
champion and that there were
very few white fighters at this timo
who were able or willing to trade
punches with Joe. So with this
knowledge in mind Mr. Sharkey
pulled his old gloves down off the
hook and sauntered on around to
the gym and begfin training for a
comeback attempt.
By the time Baer’s name had en
tered into the book containing
Joe’s K. O’ed opponents, the Bos
ton Sailor had put a.few victories
under ills belt.
After the Louis-Retzlaff en
counter, little was heard of Shark
ey, but immediately following tho
Louls-Schmeling fight that saw
Louis tumbled from his lofty sta
tion in the pugilistic world, Mr.
! Sharkey, along with the old timer,
j Tommy Loughran and A1 Ettore,
stimulated by his recent victory
over Leroy Haynes, commenced to
| clamor for a bout with Louis. Well
it 'pears as if Sharkey got the call
and come to think of it—more
money would be forthcoming from
this match than with any of the
other above named fighters.
Prior to this it was reported
I that Louis was seeking a rematch
with Baer, who is now blazing a
(a comeback trail through the West,
j His most recent victory was over
'Junior Mansell, Oklahoma City
Indian, whom he put to sleep in
the sth round of a scheduled 6
round affair. That was July 16.
