have consented to run the half mile exhibition. This will be muclT
more th^n an exhibition, however. It will be the renewal of ^ bitter
feud that has gone between these two for quite some time. It will
also ibe their first meetinj- on and outdoor tr^fck.
BORICAiN is rememlbered in the CIAA as Virginia State’s one-

' NEW NEWARK, N. J. —After
hanging up at brilliant 5 to 2 vic
tory over the New York Black
Ysiikees in their Negro National
League opener at Ruppert Sta
dium Sunday afternoon, the
Newark' £agles soared away on
a two-week trip through the
South. Diminutive Jimmie Hill
stole the whole show before 11,
OGO fu>s opening day.
JPhe i^les return from their
barnstorming trip for a twin
bill with the' Philadelphi afitars
in their home next May 19.
Manager Dick Lundy sent |l new
combination flying across the
diamond and they effectively
clawed their first victim.
In addition to whittiiig out a
home run with two on in the
fifth frame with the score, 0-0,
Hill served seven inklings in
which he allowed three hits.
Under the doctor’s car«-> all
Perry, ably assisted by an air
tight infield plus an “ink well”
style of oulKelding, kept the
Juniors safely out in front.
Spring, Hill did go ^ the
Savannah, G&. * training camp.
He was taken from the game and
relieved 'by Max M^&lining, lanky
bespectacled twirler.
The club showed well with
Mule Suttles in leftfield and his
first base post in the hands of
the dependsble rookie, Frank
Mathews of H^tford, .Conn
Third base was also in new Kands
wtih Clarence Israel replacing
Monte Irvin of Or^ge who was
at short. Dick Seay, recently in
Puerto Rico, was at second.
Lenny Pearson of East Orange
who led the island league in
batting this winter, was the
Eagles hit^ng star with three
binglea in fonf iimes at thf plats«'
He contributed two doubles and!
played in centerfield. Ed Stone,
only menAer of the original
Eagles team which opened here
in 19’6 under. Abe Manley.
Other Eagles pitchers ‘include
Haywdod Cozart, Len Hooker,
Daltie Cooper, Allen Reid ilnd
Thomas Thacker.

NEW YORK, (ANP) —Yankee
sUiKlium once again enters figiht-
doni’s ranks at the top flight oik>
chard a^ announcement comes
from Mike Jacob’s office that Joe
Louis and Arturo Godoy, Chilt^i
who left . Louis chilly after a li5
round contest at the Garden on
February 9, will battle agaiin for
the world championship at the
stadium on June 20.
The astute Jacobs, world’s
leading fight promoter, thus
settles all talk of the coming
fi^ht going to Detroit, l^he move
is not without its sense for it was
here-that Godoy thrilled thou-
;sa:'ds of fight fans when he made
one bid for fame by clowing his
wfji through , rounds, thus be
coming a member of that exclu
sive society, “Those who have
stiiyed the limit with Louis.”
Tommy Farr of England is the
only other member of this society
He lost on a decision. Bob Pas
ter Wi^ almost elected a member
but was 'blackballed when Joe
L( uis KO’d him in the 11th
round.
That the fight will be a natu
ral with local fight ^ns goes
without saying. With the white
fi'^tic world ‘seemingly bent on
finding some one to beat Louis,
a man who stayed the limit is
bound to draw out the crowds,
who will come hoping to see
reversal of matters.
Comment in Harlem on the
coming bout is unanimous that
Joe idol of this Negro city, will
blast away ejirly in the fight any
notions Godoy might have a stay
iiijr the distance agJlin.
