Negro Charity Is Lostr
In Battle Of Champions
CHICAGO, Sept. 3. (V-Char-ity
and former bantamweight
champion Harold Dade both took
a beating in the "Carnival of
at Chicago stadium
last night.
Andy Saddler, New York's for
m e r featherweight champion,
gave Dade a rough going-over for
a one-sided victory In their 10-
rounder which was the chief item
of business as five world cham-
lons mixed in as many exhibition
;uts.
The show, billed as a benefit for
Negro charities, attracted only
7.236 patrons, who paid a gate of
$21,872. That was loss than half
the $46,000 the sponsors needed to
make a profit.
Retired heavyweight champion
Joe Louis refereed the four
round exhibition between Ezzard
Charles, N. B. A., heavyweight
Mile-holder, and lumbering Joe
Modzelle, New Kensington, Pa.,
which was little more than exer
cise for the Cincinnati scrapper.
Other champions who displayed
their talent before the many
empty seats included middle
weight Willie Pep, bantamweight
Manuel Ortiz, lightweight Ike
Williams, and welterweight Ray
(Sugar) Robinson.

Champion, Passes Away
BOSTON, Sept. 3. P Robert
"Bobby" Walthour, described for
many years as the fastest man in
the world on a bicycle, died Thurs
day. He was 71.
From the early 1900s to 1923,
Bobby's handlebars were first
across the line in races through
out this country and Europe.
He broke all bicycle speed rec
ords of his time. In 1904 he was
credited with breaking 26 world's
records. In Germany he streaked
57 miles in the first hour of a 100
kilometer race.
Bobby was a Babe Ruth kind of
hero to the fans of his day. They
called him "king of the cvclers"
and his paced speed often nudged

man Moore met In the finals with
Moore winning the singles cham
pionship. In the doubles. Royd
Bruton and Louis Miles won the
championship after beating Earl
Garrison and Bert Randall.
Another outstanding feature
of this tournament was the fine
play of two junior high students,
who signed up for the tourna
ment so they could play some
good, hard tennis. Ronnie Groves
and Wayne Hennlnger showed
that some day they should give
any one a battle for the city title.
according to Marlen Yoder, di-1

YMCA general secretary.
In the junior men's tourna
ment Dick Jacobson won the sin
gles title after winning over Ron

ment was the good nlay of Gene
Henry and Gene Wilkerson as
they won their way into the fi
nals. Ribbons were presented by
the Roseburg YMCA to all win
ners in both tournaments. .
Ont of these tournaments grew
the desire for a Roseburg Ten

ganized and Yoder was given the
job of arranging the matches.
Due to the lateness In the season
only seven matches were played,
three of these with Yoncalla.
Roseburg lost only one match,
that being to Medford. On the
return match the local club eked
