The Negroes Came Through
Only one white boy—a 15-year-old bantamweight from
Buffalo, N. Y. —held a place today on the eight-man a 11-
Eastern Golden Gloves boxing team that will battle the all
West team at Chicago, March 26.
Lester McGowan was the only white fighter to come
through to a title Wednesday, pounding out a three-round
decision over another white lad, Warren Dean of Richmond.
Va., to take the 118-pound crown before 14,114 fans.
While the largest percentage of Negro talent in the 15-
year history of the New York tourney was winning the sev-;
en other medals, Philadelphia captured the team Title with
21 points. New York finished second with 18; Buffalo, thin’.!
with 13; Newark. N. J., fourth with seven, and Washington.!
fifth with six
Now it may seem strange or it may seem natural, but any !
way you figure it the colored boys were in there fighting,*
and they came through in great style.
Can this little bout be any indication that negroes are!
paying more attention to boxing than white boys? J
It’s Time to Go Golfing
i
Whether you want sand greens or grass greens, the;
weather, for the past several days has been very nice for.
golfers and the time has arrived for the amateurs and vet
erans to get their clubs and see if they can drive across the
ditch on the third hole.
We predict a great golf season for Roxboro and believe
that this summer will find about fifteen new golfers.
Ed Flythe and Tobey Ledbetter have started.

appropriation to place a Negro
Home Agent in the county to
work with farm women and girls,
