IN GOTHAM Tuskegeean Delivers Four Remarkrble Addresses in Different Sections of Greater New York RACE MUST "SETTLE DOWN" Meetings Under The Auspices of National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes New York, May 19.—More than 10,000 people heard Dr. Booker T. Washington's eloquent message of hope and cheer, delivered Sunday at four widely-scattered points in the course of a "whirlwind tour" of Greater New York, as a part of the campaign for the social and industrial uplift of the race, inaugurated by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This organization, with an increasing membership, now extending throughout the country, is made up of influential men and women of both races, who are devoting their lives and means to better the condition of those of the Negro race who are endeavoring to work out their destiny in the cities, addressing itself in a practical fashion to the problems of social justice, improved housing conditions, better health, sanction, industrial training, encouraging business development and urging the patronage of Negro enterprises by the Negro masses, protection of young women who enter the cities as strangers relieving poverty and distress among the unfortunate, and fostering organizations that have to do with the general betterment and increased of the working elements of the Negro population in the urban centers of the nation. A: 4 o'clock 1,500 people flocked to the Abyssinian Baptist Church on 40th street to hear the eminent Tuskegean, and at night, the capacity of the Concord Baptist Church, Duffield street in Brooklyn, was taxed as never before with an audience of 1,500. Here the pastor Rev. W. M. Moss opened the meeting and presented Major R. R. Moton as the presiding officer of the evening. At the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the meeting was held under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association. Rev. R.C. Ransom presided, in the absence of Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, president of the Association, who was confined at her home by illness. Miss Emma Cabaniss, secretary of the Y. W. C. A., spoke on behalf of the organization and told of the plans for the new home that is soon to be erected. HEARTY RECEPTION AT THE PALACE CASINO The stellar meeting of the day was at the Palace Casino, and it was different from the rest only in point of magnitude. The appeal by Dr. Washington for civic righteousness at each point was much the same, yet adapted to the special needs of the locality or class to which it was meant to reach. Hon. Marcus M. Marks, president of the Borough of Manhattan, presided and his speech of introduction was a call for liberty of opportunity and social justice for all peoples. Dr. Washington's address here and elsewhere was of an intensely practical nature. He dealt frankly, directly and forcefully with the vital needs of the Negro people, lauding them for the marvelous progress they have made in fifty years of freedom, but pointing out in no uncertain terms the PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. weaknesses and shortcomings that must be corrected where they can expect to reap the full measure of the success After praising the race in general for its achievements since emancipation and testifying to the worth and work of the enterprising citizenry of Greater New York and the ambition of the typical Gothamite to have the best of everything on earth, Dr. Washington said: "The Negro must settle down somewhere and make himself a vital part of the community which he has selected as his place of abode. No race can succeed permanently that is always moving. The individual must choose whether he will live in the city or in the country, but wherever he decides to make his home, let him stay there and grow with the growth of that community and have a definite part in its development." He advocated education of every character, according to the bent and opportunities of the individual, but education should be for actual service, be it of the common school, the high school, college, university, professional, technical or industrial. "The best man is the man who can do the best—who makes the best of his time and talents for the service if humanity." This is the central purpose of the Urban League, and in the interest of which it is waging a warfare against idleness and unthrift. The music for the Palace Casino meeting was furnished by the Music Settlement Chorus of 100 voices and orchestra of fifty, under the direction of J. Rosamond Johnson. The rendition of Mr. Johnson's own composition "Southland" was one of the truly bright spots of the eventful day. SUPREME COUNCIL OF MASONS HOLDS SESSION Philadelphia, May 19.—The annual session of the United Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Northern Jurisdiction of the United States was held at the Masonic Temple, South 11th street, last Friday.

ASKING FOR HIGH SCHOOL Norfolk, Va., May 19.—A delegation of prominent colored citizens appeared before the School Board last Tuesday to urge the establishment of a high school. The spokesman was P.

BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1915 MASONS IN COURT AGAIN Judge Gorter in the Baltimore City Court, signed today an Order in the Mandamus case of John H. Murphy vs. Masonic Grand Lodge of Maryland, Joseph P. Evans, its Grand Master, George T. Duppin, its Grand Secretary, and Enterprise Lodge No. 3, subordinate Lodge under the jurisdiction of said incorporated Grand Lodge, Howard Fitzhugh, Master; James F. Fessenton, Treasurer, and Charles R. Smith, Secretary, Officials of subordinate Lodge. The case is set for Wednesday, May 27th, at 12 o'clock noon. John H. Murphy, Petitioner, who has been a member of the Order since 1873, and who is seventy-five years of age, alleges that he has filled almost all the chairs in the Grand Lodge of the Masonic Order, and a short while ago, and for a long time prior, was Imperial Potentate of the Order of Mystic Shriners, which is composed of the Thirty-second Degree Masons and Knights Templar. The allegation is made that on Tuesday, May 18th, at a meeting of the Subordinate Lodge, of which the Petitioner was a member, he said Evans was present in the capacity of an ordinary member: that during the regular procedure of business, a report of a committee was had in reference to certain business, and subsequently the Petitioner obtained permission of the said Fitzhugh Master of his Lodge, to withdraw from the session. That while the Petitioner was leaving the said Lodge room at the Temple on Courtland street, between Saratoga and Pleasant streets, it is charged that said Grand Master, without legal justification or excuse, suspended the Petitioner, in the presence of the Lodge, and of its visiting members. No explanation was made to the Petitioner or reason given for said suspension, nor can the Petitioner allege any cause for the same. The Petitioner charges that the action of the Grand Master deprives him of all rights and privileges in the Order, including his office as Imperial Potentate, and specia, damage will inure to the Petitioner unless the Court compel his immediate restatement. The Grand Lodge will not meet until the third week in August, next, and no determination can be had by the Petitioner until sometime subsequent to the meeting of the Grand Lodge. The Petitioner's suspension was followed by his forceful expulsion, and he alleges that the entire proceedings were irregular, wholly unwarranted, and invalid under every rule and By-law of the Order. Augustus C. Binswanger, and Warner T. McGuinn are attorneys for Mr. Murphy. The suit is another of a number of controversies which have recently engaged the attention of the lower courts in Baltimore City, and the allegations made in the petition are similar to those which have been made against the illegal and unlawful acts of the Grand Officers of the Masonic Fraternity. The order signed by Judge Gorter requires all the Respondens to show cause on or before May 26th, at 10 o'clock a.m., why the Writ of Mandamus should not be issued as prayed for by Mr. Murphy. Mrs. Corlett H. Thomas, of 639 Pitcher street, paid a short visit to her sister, Mrs. G. H. Dorsey, of Philadelphia. She was accompanied by her daughters. DEATH OF AN INDUSTRIOUS YOUNG BUSINESS MAN Salem, N. J.,—Arthur H.

JUDGE AWARDS $80,000 TO COMMON-LAW WIFE Memphis, Tenn., May 16.—The courts have decided that Bettie Hicks and her eight children should have the $80,000 left by the white father of the children.

Brown on last Thursday, thanking him for his tender of $50 for the purchase of a silver cup to be held by the school which produces the winner of the first medal in the Spelling Bee in the colored schools. PRICE THREE CENTS SHOULD FOSTER RACE LITERATURE Rev. D. W. Hays Urges That Pastors Set Apart Day For Exploiting Work of Ne Convinced of the imperative need of giving wider publicity to literary productions of colored writers, and aware that in futherance of this laudable end, the pulpit must take the lead, Dr. D. W. Hars, district superintendent of the Baltimore district of the Washington Conference suggests the propriety of setting apart, on a nearby Sabbath, at least one service in the various churches, at which time "Race literature: its history, achievement and prospects," shall be the theme of discourse. In speaking of the project to a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, Dr. Hays had the following to say: "A little reflection will show, I think, that nearly all our congregations need enlightenment on the subject. It is a lamentable fact that comparatively few of our people have seriously considered their obligation to encourage the efforts of those who are trying to serve their generation by the use of the press in one way or another. Indifference at this point, no doubt, makes it difficult for colored authors to find publishers willing to assume the responsibility of printing, thus keeping back matter which, in all probability would, if allowed to come to light, furnish both pleasure and profit to many persons, old and young. It is painful to recall that so few eminently deserving books placed upon the market by colored writers have passed into the second or third edition. If the works were without merit, this failure would not be matter for complaint, but such is not the case, judging by the testimony of able critics. Then, too, we are confronted with the very meger support given, in most instances, to our periodical publications. There are thousands of homes into which no colored newspaper is ever permitted to enter, unless by stealth. The great thoughts of our great men are chained in obscurity, when matter emenating from other scources, of far less value, and not infrequently tinged with racial disgement and insult, is paid for the accorded hospitable welcome. "If, after fifty years of freedom we are found without race literature of such intrinsic worth as to command the attention of intelligent readers in whatever station, it is a circumstance to be deplored. "I claim, however, we have succeeded in creating a literature of which we need not be ashamed. If the latter be true, let us commend it to the people, in the manner above suggested, or in some other more practical way." F. D. MORTON ACCEPT NEW POSITION Washington, May 17.—Mr. F. D. Morton has retired from his position as secretary to Assistant Secretary Roscoe Conklin Bruce, and has accepted the position as principal of the Manassas Industrial School, Manassas, Va.

Thanks boys, thanks— thanks ‘many, many times to all of you who turned out so well and worked so nobly at the great Marathon Race. Fine boys, fine. You didn’t have a week’s notice to prepare but you aure did rally to the call. The Afro extend many thanks to Scout Masters Benjamin Grant, Joseph Kelso, Luther Mitchel, Rufus Pinkney, and Wm. Davis for the presence and good work of them- selves and their boys. Do you know that some fifty scouts were on duty last week at the Marathon Race? And do you know that these bays represented every section of Baltimore and all worked as harmoniously as if they all were from onesection? Pastors are many times sharply criticized for their lack of deep interest in dealing with the boys of their churches. But let’s lvok to the real interested type and thank God for euch men as Rev. P. C, Neal, pestor of First Baptist; Rev. D. G. Mack, pastor of Macedonia, and Rev, Ernet Lyon, pastor of John Wesley. These men Baltimore boys might well be proud of what theyfhave done, fare doing,and sill continue to do{much to encourage and’welcome boys’ church v ork. When Rev. Dr. Lyon was ‘‘call- ed un’ and asked to kindly allow his boys aesist at the Marathon Race, he not only gard at once yes, and gave the name and address of their scout master, but promised to sooperate himself to see that John Wesiry was represented. When Rey. Dr. D. G. Mack was approached with the Afro’s request he not only said yes, but then and there gave permission to the Boys’ ‘Editor to speak to the boys and teil them what was expected of them. He did not stop here but even help- ed the officers to select the boys end promised his support to the finish. When Rev. Dr. P_C. Neal was “called up"’ and the}Afro’s request made known to:him, he at onc said yes. He did not atop here but promiged to see personally the scout master in charge of his boys and order out the ‘‘fellows.’” He fur- ther continued to influence a gen- eral response on the part of his boys by} making the Afro’s call the sub- ject of a public notice at his church. Here in a mid-week meeting he requested the parents to allow their boys go. A few more men of the Mack, Lyon, and Neal type would soun place our Baltimore boys eo far ahead in their work that a tele- scope would be necessary to see to what heights they have attained. Gentlemen, the Afie thanks you for your boys, One of the best things about ‘‘all this here’? boy scout ‘‘curnout’’ was that each scout felt a sort of brotherly love for the other scout whom he had never met before. Fellows thats just what is needed a deep love for the other fellow whether you have met him before or not—and a boy never knows how good it feels to meet another boy that can return the scout salute, that you gave him, that wears another suit of the same color and game style as the one you wear,that carries a scout pole the same length ws yours, and can work his first aid ‘‘stunts’’ just like you— until he joins a scout iroop. Say fellows, something ‘*big’” is coming off among the scouts of Baltimore, if you want to be in it you had hetter join a troop now at your church, A certain boy came to the editor Jast Monday to ‘‘have a talk’’ and told him he was going to join the scouts that very same night. Of course that boy saw what noble work the scouts accomplished at ‘the race’ and decided if they evuld do it he could too—and so now he is a svout ready to turn out Le SPSS SS SS LT EN EP SADE cee {TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE | SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION, June 14th to July 234,"1915 | i Over 400 Teachers Present Last Session eRe gee ee a eke ie Starlight, is‘also interested in this scout work.

Sunday before last, Scout Kelso, Scout Elliott,and Scout Green were coming down E. Madison street, when an oid lady fell in the street unconscious. They assisted her to her home. Every one said she was dead hut these boys who saw her fall believed differently. They detected her heart beating faintly and ‘‘first aided’? her back to consciousness. Boys be ye ever loyal. Reporters—Kelso, Elliott,Green. What is the real boy of today? The real boy of today is the one that carries and vees himzelf cor- rectly.

There jg nothing that will help the race like good, strong healthy bodies. Beys and young men learn largely yo control their appetites, not only in food, but in the many things which go to make a good, strong, active athlete. Parents should by all means encourage their boys and girls as well to take up this form of sport and amusement, hoth for the good of the boys as well as for their owa good. The torch of war which was lighted last August in Europe seems to be still spreading, aod it looks tike before it is put out all the old world will be a seeth- ing mass of flames. It is to be seriously hoped that wise council will prevail aad the United States will not be involved before the con- flegration is‘ended. At the same time a good strong back bone will do very much towards keeping the peace on this side of the Atlantic: ‘The determined efforts of the new Y. M.C. A. Secretary Booker to secure the necessary funds to se- cure the site and commence the building} of the new Y. M. C. A. Building aught to be seconded by every right thinking man and woman, to the extent that the money should be raised in the short- est possible time. A little less than three thousand dollars are re- quired and it ought not to bea hard task to get his money for so important an enterprise. You are reading hia editorial and it is up to you to assist in,this movement. This means you. REE ey ees erat RE WHO IS PRESTON? Mr. Preston is the Mayor of the City of Baltimore. On last Tues- day he entered upon his second term: as Mayor of this great city. It would be no less than a great misfortune for any great American city, as large as Baltimore, to pos- sess a chief magistrate who seemed to have little concero with respect to the living conditions, rights and privileges,of one-sixth of the popu- lation, while, at the same time, aspired to be Mayor of the whole people. When Mr. Preston was first elected, his success, therein, was occasioned by. the failure of his opponent, when Mayor, to treat this very same element of the Population as full American citf- zens. . Mr, Preston’s majority was quite small, but sufficient for him to realize the significance of his narrow passage. During Mr. Pres- ton’s past term he failed’ to recog- nize the just and equitable expecta- tions of the colored people of the eity. .The colored’people are poor, and there is nochiog which Mr. Preston can gain,of political value, in b:ing. fair towards them. But Mr. Preston must maintain his own self-respect, And it is to this we hopefully appeal. He knows, if CU:--Civiaee ee ee abe not receive the same consideration as-are accorded other citizens. The oath of an honest man. binds him to the administration of the affairs of the community ia an impartial manner far above the feeling of race. Mr. Preston is ap honest and honorable map, and, hence, a maintainence of his own self-respect binds him to the task of seeing that the most helpless of the com- munity have a fair and square deal. We dismiss entirely from our consideration,at presént, the matter of public political office. We are disposed to deal with nore funda- mental and vital matters. Certain public benefits, facilities and Felps, are provided, out of a common fund, derived from tax- ation, for the benefit of the whole community, without regard tu race or color, Of these we write. In such things we get very far from a square deal. It is Mr. Preston's business, as Mayor of the whole city, to see that this situation is changed. This situation exists not go much because of hatred towards the Negro, as on account of ignor- ance. Our government is based on one idea, and the Negro is treated upon an entirely different basis. Until the Negro is treated upon the common basis, it becomes vital- ly necessary, ‘in consideration of his needs, to employ the necessary agencies which the special policy of his treatment demand. While in levying taxes the Negro is count- ed on the common basis, yet in sup- plying his needs, he is treated a3 “a race apart.”” _ As long then, a3 such policy of administration ob- tains, the highest good of the city itself, as well as of the Negro, de- mands the extension of this special policy, by the appointment on all the public boards where he sus- tains large interests, capable repre- sentatives of that race Unfortu- nately, the Negro has too much interest with the jail out since it is a fact, the2best interest of the community requires on the board of administration some represent- ative of that race, in vital touch with all that is good in the race, who can, on the one hand, be helpful to his colleagues in meet- ing the situation; and on the other hand prove the nexus in securing the cooperation of his raze in efforts by which the criminal element may gradually be reduced. The same thing is true with re- spect to the department of city charities, and the Board of Public Education, If the white people, of the calibre of Mayor Preston, are so dominated by the race feeling, as not to endure the presence of a colored representative, of culture and refinement, with all the in- stincts of gentlemanly courtesy, how can such expect the great body of the colored race to sincerely be- lieve that they have at heart the real welfare of colored citizens. fo the query ‘‘Who is Preston?” we would like tc say that he isa gentleman like the late Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee, who not only, when Governor of Virginiz, appointed colored men in such capacities but in his contact with the colored race compelled their ove by his unfail- ing treatment of them as genitle- men and gentlewomen. Or like Gen. Ferdinand C. Latrobe, whose praise is upon the lips of the color- ed people of the whole state, for his uniform kindness and courtesy to them, In his second administra- tion Mr, Preston has an opportuni- ty not only to hearten the colored citizens of Baltimore, but to bring about a clearer understanding and closer community fellowship be- tween all of the good people whe make up the community.

DEATH OF AN ESTI- MABLE CITIZEN SOR Se ek ee ee brother of Mrs. Wallace Smith, Lillian Jefferson and Gertrude Oliver, died at Glyndon, Md., May 10, at 12:30a.m, His funeral was held'on Thursday 13th inst. at 2p. m., at Metropolitan M. EB. Church. Dr. L, Z. Johnson, offici- ated. You may gaze upon the portrait but see only anoutline. The whole of the deceased is not here but what there is here is like him. A nature so broad and deep with powers so various and brilliant can’t be com- prised in words, be they everfso choice or so many, We know of but two places only John C. Simpson has to dwell the Eternal City to which he has gone and the hearts of friends who remain. The large attendance and the Lumerous tributes of re- spect over his remains were of the most pronounced character. The time for reaction of senti- ment if the patriatures of character and ability had been drawn in too ‘high colors, has now been reached. iWe have passed now so far from the affecting incidents of a death that seemed premature although its approach had long been provi- dentially indicated—the death that cut off an extraordinarily active eareer in the midst of its busiest plans and incessant activities and gathered around itself a divi-e halo rarely vouchsafe to departing saints. We can now contemplate the life that has been translated to higher spheres and weigh witha cooler judgment the characteristics of one who both dazzled us by his brilliancy and disarmed criticism byhis generous usefulness, his warm aliffetions and his evident earnest- ness and conservation of purpose. We have looked in vain for the first expression of hesitation among many that thoroughly knew him. as to the high qualities of mind and character which accorded him when the tears of affection had hardly heen dried from the faces of his many friends, The last effort to give a fair estimate of our brother is as warm in his praise as the first, and constant tender and appreciative words find their way into print as his absence isstill felt in the important interests of church and society which he bore upon his \heart and aided so efficiently with persuasive voice and hand. He had a singular interest in the temporal and political affairs of his day; but was one of the most ardant and de- voted laborers in the spiritual king- dom cf God. He was mindful he had a grasp on both worlds, He was sensitive to pain and shrank from danger; but bore himself withont hesitation amid the most manifold perils to: his life among men. He was the pleasant com- panion of the liveliest company and one of the tenderest,most spiritual and sweetest counsolers in hours of || bereavement and sorrow. He loved life and its opportunities for useful ness and without a moments hesi, tation but with a calm sweet voice in the 40 years of his age of |which 21 years were spent in ren- dering service for the Master. Johnnie with a shout of triumph bid good night to his devoted sister |Mammie, closed his eyes on earth to open in heaven. Advt.

Although the runners would not, if started on time, finish until about 12 o'clock, as early as 9 o'clock the crowd commenced to gather around the Afro-American office, to secure puints of vantage to witness the finish of the race, which in points of interest and general enthusiasm was the most successful ever held in this city. ‘Pne day was an ideal one for the race and it was expected by those who: kuew that lest year’s record by Tom Jones of 34 minutes and 15 ; THE WINNER eh oa | ee Sa. 4 Et Be or ae” we Soe 5 — eee eo 3] Tee SED. eee eS Sr gee ee ules is sree ee ae ie srs jee: 3 ke cere st fe as Kee ee oe. ee ae ae - ae eo. eae ee Se gence |e oo ie oe : ee ae Co ees Een ae Pesce aiaanea A ee eee foes itn ae ei 5. ees Oe eI ee ee a ee oe Hoe ee er gee Eee ge oe gg EARL JOHNSON seconds, would be equalled if not broken, and it remained for Earl Johnsen who clipped nearly a minute from Jones’ record, to prove their predictions. That the race poasted of better and more experi- enced runners this year cannot be gainsaid, and it was due to the fart, pace set al the beginning thet « many of the runmers we1e compell- ed to give up or were overcome, © Upon the arrival of Dr. FL N. Cardoza, one of the official physi- cians of the race, with his avto- mobile, the officials were whisked away to the start of the race, where the runners were numbered and checked off. A little later a band of Boy: Scouts ‘with other officials ‘were driven off, in Captain George Brown’s big browh Michigan, and distributed as flag men over the part of the course that. ran thru Druid Hil) Park, while other Boy Scouts with their leader were sent out over the course thru the city to flag. the runners at euch corner.

Thisonly served to increase the nervous'tension amoog the run- ners, who were eager to have the thing over and done with. Upon their arrival, however, the runners were promptly ordered to the acrateh, and lined up for a pic- ture, and all got away to a fiying start a few moments later, at the crack of the starter’s pistol. They had not gone far on Park Heights avenue before they had strung them- selves gut in pairs and bunches. first one and then another ruoner forging to the lead. It was the general belief among the contestants that Boley, and Bannister, together with the Washingtonians would be the real contestants for first place. Boley did not disappoint them, nor did the Washingtonians, for both were well in the lead of the other for the greater part of the entire race, but Bannister due to a severe cramp at the start did not get away good until he entered Druid Hill Park. 2 Meantime Johnson, the winner, ‘Tom Jones, last year’s winner, and Boley were fighting for the lead. ‘At. the entrance to the Park Boley was leading with Johnsen right be- hind him, and Jones and Finney, of the Dunbar, close on the leaders’ heels. Bannister was the 19th man to pass the checker at this point. The three leaders maintained this order thru the park, while Love, of Washington forced Finney into fifth place, and Bannister climbed to eleventh place. Between the Ful. ton avenue, entrance to the Park. and Laurens and Fulton avenue, Jones, for some unexplained reason dropped out of the race, and rat home.

When they again struck McCulloh street the Washington boy distanced Dorsey, and also his comrade from Wash- ington. By the time Johnson reached Me- Culloh and Biddle streets he had so far distance Boley that he was able to stop for a brief moment, taking quiet a siesta at the Provident Hospital steps, but as the form of his close contestant came around the corner he broke into.a swift Tun and ran across the finishing line neatly a full minute ahead of his nearest competitor, amid the ‘cheers of the great crowd that had assembled. While it cannot be gaineaid that Johnson ran a wonderful race, Boley must also be credited with having put up a remarkable per- formance, having met with a serious accident in his mail cart only a few weeks previous to the race but gamely disdaining his injuries to train for the event which covered him with glory, although he did not win.

It’s a gond thing ‘bookmakers were not allowed at the start for that phyaician wonld no doubt now be filing a petition in. bankruptey. We must insist that scorer Webb get another top-piece for next year’s race. Whatever Capt. Brown does is done thoroughly. He left his auto in the handa of the Sporting Edi- tor(who knows as much about auto- mobiles and running them as a fish knows about walking) to eject an voruly cycler who gave him some “back talk,’? from the couree. He nearly ran over others who refused to stop interfering with the runners. The Boy Scouts. were as much pleased to render us some assistance ag we were to have them. * We would hate to think of Tom’? Jones as a “quitter.” Johnson won the race and ap: parently had enough wind left tc go a few more miles.

One of the most successful and enthusiastic events of the year was recently held at ‘the Ball park in Savannah, Ga., where three hundred and fifty youthful athletes, boys and girls, competed for prizes and glory in what-is known as the An- nual Negro School Children’s Meet. The events were witnessed by over five thousand people who cheered wildly every winner no matter under whose flag they were running. For the first time in the history of the games, a private school, Swangin, carried off the honors. Heury Parlins of this school also carried off the individu- al honors with a total of 114 points, The club championship was won by the Urban League with a total of 35 points. Among the evente carded for the meet were 25, 35, 50, 75, and 100 ‘yard uashes both spen, closed, and classified. 220 high and low hur- dles,open aad closed, mile run, 220 yard dash, mile relay, high jump ing, broad jumping, and shot put. For girls there wes the potato race, 25, 45, 50 and 60 yard dashes and quarter-mile relay. That the race was a success finan- cially may be judged from the fact that over $500 worth of tickets were soli before the meet. ALLIS READY FOR ASTORIA MEET TODAY Indications Are That A Record.
