Sf WEEK- ENDPre, SATORPAY, JULY 1-i, 194S THE CAKOUNIAN PASB rt'i Behind The Play In Sports BY DON DE LEIOHBUB This is thr stnry just ;is it wus jschool in St. Thomits, Virgin Islands, tnld to mr It is about a youtiR m;.n|he won prices. Hr a.tended junior iid scoiiir hidh schfM.l in the Vir* who was exccllrd in athletics, then transferred his knowledge and skill in the field of sport.s !» an entirely new profession — and marie good. Once a flashy shortstop, a prize fighter and a track man. Chick Solomon, who only five fret three inches tall, U»df.y at ."W years old, is close to the top in news photo graphy, and is con.stanily adding to his prestige in his new wuld. A rather plainspoken sort of fel low, Chick seldom bothers to be j Publicity, diplomatic, insisting 'hat diplomacy! High School, Is just another world for hypocrisy, He rarely takes .sides in a dispute, and believes devoutly in the law of averages. As a baseball player and as a pro fessional photographer, Solomon has m'ingled with some of the most felebrated of the -Who-.s Who” in the world. Among the persons he has ordered around in hi work are the late President Roo.sevilt, Gov ernor Dewey, General DeCaulle. Molotov, Mrs. Marshall Field, Dr. John Haynes Holmes. Mayor La- Giiardia. Admiral King, McKenna King, the former King of Siam. Pope Pi..8. the former Cardinal Ratti, Archbishop .S|%'llman and the Dionne Quintuplets. Entirely without inhibitions, Chick is one of the most aggressi.e photographers in the busines-s. Per haps this repre.sents some of the ipirit that won him laurels on the athletic field An example of Chick's •ggrassivaness and hi» determina tion to get a picture, occurred this Spring in the State Capitol in Al bany at the time Governor Dewey was shout to sign the Ives-Quinn Bill, which established the State Commission Against Discrimina tion. The Governor was being subject ed to a barage ‘^f ho; flash bulbs but while .he other bovs were “shooting". Chu'k wa' busy shov ing chairs and flags from one lace to another. Some of the obje s m that hist 'rie Bic Ro m", here hang pictures ' -t'I formmer Gov ernors of New Y k StMte, hadn I been mo\ed for years except T r the purpose of cleaninc But Chick wa* determined to •eump- se" ju-t the shot he wanted Th« Oovern.ir obliged, and Soli>m.»n «rored again There is a picture which Chick says he wan*- to make and the'ments are gin Islands, and was graduated at the University of Madrid. Up to 1043 his principal interest w -.-, baseball, and in that year. Chick went on toui with the St. Louir Stars and the Dizzy Dean All-Stars for the Treasury Depart ment to promote the sale of war bonds. H«! served as the advance man and handled promotion and Chick played .sho'tst.ip f.ir a team that was un def ited through two and a half sea.- n*’ of play before dropping decis n to an all-star aggregation of high .school players. He bcg.in playing .'cmi-pro baseball, .and at the end of his .semi-pro career he tii*-npd to amateur baseball and practically single-handed sparked the New York sports to the first ch.impionship by a colored outfit in New York City Baseball Fed eration. Later, a smanager of the "Seals" of the Neu York Com munity Le.igue. Chick again mas terminded an outfit composed of Negro and white young.sters to the Federatlon\s Championship in bor ough-wide playoffs, The "Seals', under Chick's man.Tgement. prac ticed what the big league clubs are afraid to attempt He granted an op. porunity to all kids, regardless of race, creed, or color, to come and try out for his club. A winning ball dub was what Chick wanted, and his sole desire, as he puts it, was to put up a good Job at alt times In 1''42 when tl-e -St'iils" won the title, there were three white young sters in the regular lineup Just why Chick .swtiched fr.im baseball to photography hi say.

About the rural areas of the nation, he said, such areas get only nine percent of the national income, but give birth to 31 per cent of the nation’s children. The South, with eight per cent of the income, produced 32 per rent of the children. There fore he argued that this dLsproportionate burden on the poorer re gion of the country was unfair. In closing hijN plea Dr, Graham declared, "1 would like lo see the nation’.s economic problem Number 1. become one of the great est hopes for the future." Wi*’ North Carolina making a pattern for other Southern slates in education and a .sustaining rospeef for the rights of every human being, there is some hope for the future.

Only when the swimmer has mas tered a sufficient variety of strokos- and skills to enable him to feci thoroughly at homo in. the water, and In cope successfully with any water conditions that m.iy arise, should he attempt to gain speed. From the very beginning he must acquire and practice the hahit of rhythmic and correct breathing, and he must bear in mind that hir l>oHv honyancy, coupled with the momentum of swimming, is suffi cient to keep him afloat.
