California Eagle

ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 A W Why I Decidsd to be A Negro I was fortunate enough to have been given some of the copies of the California Eagle containing the original article which appeared in the Los Angeles Times—and the "stinging reply" thereto by Willis O. Tyler. I have very studiously read those statements, because they are of deep human interest to all sorts and conditions of men in this great country—which has of late years often been referred to as "a melting pot." But probably the Race question involved may be of much more interest to myself than to most other men; for many reasons which you readers will better comprehend as I proceed with my narrative. Critics of the reply given by Mr. Willis O. Tyler can't help but feel that he assumed an "aggressive" attitude toward the professor who had declared himself to be a despairing human soul over:ome with the conditions created by having a trace of African blood in his Veins—which "trace" was a disgrace. Neither of the writers referred to have given your readers any "consumation devotion to be wished." We are in the dilemma that three men of different nationalities once were confronted with, when they had a controversy upon a question or right or wrong. One of them, of Scotch descent, abused his opponent for pronouncing the word "neither" as "nyther," which was the Englishman's opinion about it. Along came the Irishman who heard the Scotchman's claim to the rightful pronunciation as to its being actually "neether." He asserted himself against his opponent by declaring that neither were right; as the proper sounding of the word in question was none else but "naythar." Therefore, I feel that the "despair" of the professor will avail him nothing, and the aggressiveness of the lawyer will have relieved him of a lot, but after all said by both writers, pro and con, that "naytnus" are right on the problem of Race assimilation or ostracism. However, both writers have written from the viewpoint taken by "coloured men." There remains to be submitted to your readers the viewpoint of an "uncoloured gentleman," a very whitened one, by the bye, whose experience in conjunction with this question are somewhat world-wide; of over twenty years research, and whose years of discretion are well with three score, and whose hair is "witer the snow." This latter or physical feature is about the only evidence of being real white that he can produce. He has often asked himself a question as concerning his problem of the "colour line," "what is a white man?" The nearest he has ever gotten to an answer was when he became familiar with the definition associated to the North American Indians or Redskins, who held the belief that a "white man" belonged to "the palefaces!" After mixing with the white races and different languages in all the lands they have inhabited, for generations, with all their differences in religion, politics, industries and social intercourse, he recons that their origin or colour is mostly of a very sulphurous kind. He has been so perplexed as to who, what, and where the so-called "white man" originated from that he has given it up in disgust, remaining satisfied with the sulphurous theory—conjoined to the interrogative thought, "who in hell invented the white man, anyhow?" Of recent years he has had just cause to congratulate himself for taking that viewpoint of the white races (mostly Europeans), upon reflecting what was doing "over there" all the time. during the past four years under the The California Eagie leadership of His Imperial "whiteness," the Kaiser. (who began it and whom therefore, we have constantly wished back into Hell in consequence). "Why I decided to be a Negro," lacked this one vital statement amongst its many other paragraphs. "In my veins is a trace of African blood, but, what I am especially thankful for, I have discovered that there is not a shadow of Teutonic blood in my complex make-up, so by gum, I will remain a Negro evermore." By the way, let me remark here, how thankful also should every "real black" Negro be today that, owing to HIS "color" or racial trademark, no living soul can ever ascribe the odium—that will exist among the WHITES for the next century or two—(that IT possibly is in them), of having been crossed with the seed of the Bloody Hun. This cannot be the boast of some millions of American families who are already intermarried to Teuton emigrants, who came to this country in hordes, and whose racial status therefore cannot escape even the odium and the distinctive appellation of AMERICHUN, very much "hyphenated" for the ensuing century or so. Worse look for all the WHITE race. Looking into this race problem and the colour line question from a religious viewpoint, after much dissection of the many religious faiths in the world, he found strangely enough that one of the Holy Books which has been given a permanent place in the world's histories has acknowledged the justice or righteousness of becoming a Mulatto, Creole, Eurasian, half-breed, half caste, half blood, or "cognomen" which the white man in his wisdom may have condescended to apply to the "colored" pusson who happened into the world by other methods than those to which he was begat, forsooth. Now this actual provision of the people or kind of whom the professor should proudly claim heredity descent can be found in the Holy Koran, the wonderful Bible of the True Believers in God Almighty (who is no respecter of persons), and whose membership runs into something like 300 millions. In this Mohammedan Bible there is a character called "The Family of Iman or Aman." (He was supposed to be the Father of the Holy Virgin Mary). It is marked Sura III, and beginning at verse one hundred, it says, "And that there may be among you a people who invite to the Good, and enjoin the Just, and forbid the Wrong. These are they with whom it shall be well. * * * * * On the day when faces shall turn white, and faces shall turn black! and as to those whose faces shall have become black?—What! after rybel愧 have ye become infidels? Taste then the chastisement, for that ye have been unbelievers, (now for the Mulatto and the professor's case). "And to those whose faces shall have become white, they shall be within the mercy of God: therein shall they abide for ever. These are the signs of God." This is a direction to the half castes in America. Most surely these words were written hundreds of years ago by the Arabian Prophet. Today they are the solution of the Race question in this country, or any other country wherever the colour line is being drawn by the "white" men against the Black faces—God bless and help them to a greater amniscipation than ever the noble Abraham Lincoln ever conceived of in his day! The writer of these statements has other solutions to the vexed subject that confronts the half castes and black community of this great city at this moment. He thus adds San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY JANUARY 11, 1919 M. MINNIE ALBRITTON—THE PROMSIE OF THE FUTURE.

How best to get them together to undertake this uplifting movement will be revealed presently. Meanwhile steps are being taken to call a mass meeting whereat all matters referred to in these columns relating to this humanely interesting subject will be reviewed, and some unanimous action proceeded with. The title, "The Black Protector," was the official name given to his grandfather in another country many years ago when, under a commission signed by Her Majesty Queen Victoria, transferring him from military service to that of "protector," he undertook dangerous and isolated work amongst savage tribes of the great Australian continent for the purpose MINNIE ALBRITTON—THE Miss Minnie Albritton our own most wonferful sweet singer who will appear in recital at Blanchard Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings January 20 an 21st. This threatens to be the very largest affair among our people for many moons. The elect and select, saint and sinner are likewise interested in this young song bird. They love to be carried away to the land of dreams, to the place of rest, peace, and tranquility that her soft, sweet, but might voice, has and will cleverly miraculously drift them into. Yes, Miss Albritton is a phenomenon in the musical world. Ever since she a small child in age and training, won the first prize in the vocal contest at the Trinity Auditorium in 1912 she has been the center of interest of music lovers and makers in California. But since that time she has been trained in the finest school in America, the New England Conservatory of music, at Boston Mass. Her natural ability has had a finishing touch and now she is a wonder, the rival of the greatest singers that the world can boast of. In quality of tone she can not be surpassed. Long before Miss Albritton arrived home, many were the demands for her service. Offers on all hands—but she quietly declined because she had already given her word that she would appear in the name and information of the V. W. F. M. church committee on these matters, and that she was not interested in the BEST CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY N'S Man's of establishing peaceful conditions at that period amongst the blacks and whites there. His own father took part also in such work—the memoirs or records of which are in the possession here today in Los Angeles, of the writer of this narrative. Both these men, who were his progenitors, were greatly or intimately experienced in the Race problem or colour question, and held many views for solving it, which the writer will continue to elucidate for another article to be published in these columns in succession to this one. These descriptions are intensely vivid and mysterious, and can be looked for by our readers with deeper interest than ever on this subject, "Why I decided to be a Negro." PROMSIE OF THE FUTURE. foster. Her sympathies had already been aroused to the great need of the work in every city, having been on several occasions solely dependent on such work for her own well being so when she was asked by her sister to lend her hand she said, that she considered it the least that she could do. Although it does not mean as much to her as some of the other offers would have meant Miss Minnie says that her God given talent shall be used for the edification of His kingdom rather than the glory of self. So that trait of her character has been most noticeable in her every movement. You will find her always plain, simple Minnie Albritton, most content among the most simple, every-day folk and without the least trace of conceit. She belongs to the people and the people are proud of her. So remember, that one-half that you pay for your ticket you will be putting in the Race treasury to make better mothers of the to-morrow by providing a place for the girls of today. Altogether now, a W. M. C. A. for our girls. The first evening Miss Albritton will appear in full program, of songs from the operas and arias sung in French, Italian and English, Negro Dialects, folk songs and Isish lullabies. The second evening she will appear in child songs, and as a child, are afterward to be filled and chorus acts a treat. Miss Albritton promises her all for these two evenings, after that she makes no previews. These are intended for public viewing only.

If you read the daily papers of December 16th very carefully, you would have seen this item: Discharged Soldier Lynched. Hickman Ky.—Charles Lewis, a discharged Negro soldier who is, alleged to have beaten Deputy Sheriff Al. Thomas when the latter attempted to arrest him yesterday, was hanged here today by a mob of masked men. The above was tucked in an obscure corner of not one but a half dozen of the leading dailer. Neither could there be found one line of editorial comment on the injustice of the tragedy. Why is it? Why is it that then newspapers, at this stage, seek to ignore these nondish travesties on justice, when, but a short time ago they were double leaders in order to attract the eyes of the reading public? Why is it that a prominent official of the Associated Press informed Secretary Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P. when he asked that due publicity be given the lynchings, that they no longer considered such happenings as news? The reason for their silence can readily be seen; it is obvious. Persons who are the least bit familiar with conditions, know that there is an element whose sublime ignorance compels within them an envious feeling for any successful step made by the Negro, and they allow that envy to develop into murderous deeds. As long as the Negro is content with being a servile dog he is, at least, tolerated in any community. Let him assert a spark of manliness and that element "shows its superiority?" by mob law. If a Negro farmer is willing to be cheated out of the fruits of his toll, he can stay on and till his farm, but let him intimate that he is not receiving a fair deal, and he is warned not to "let another sunset find him in that locality, and for the safety of his family he moves away, often in the dead of the night, leaving behind him the results of his years of toll and sacrifice. The world is singing the praises of the Negro soldier for his valor in the recent world war. The Negro in uniform creates such feelings of envy and hatred in the hearts of the cowards who sought exemption from military service, that he (the Negro) is bullied and insulted to the degree where he resents it, and then he is attacked by a band of HUMAN HYENAS, who are a disgrace to American ideals. Very soon the great nations will gather in a peace conference to determine momentous questions; one of them is the institution of a world democracy. "Make the world safe for democracy" was the slogan of the United States Government when it recruited the millions of men who battled autocracy on the soil of France. "Make the world safe for democracy" was the battle cry of the thousands, Negro and white, who faced death with unflinching courage. "Make the world safe for democracy" were the words of our illutious President, who placed it first in the order of the ideals for which those men died. The question of clean hands may be raised when the nations agree ```markdown ``` for the peace party, hence the press questions the policy of publicity for crimes, "that like chickens, may come home to roost." But can the Negro afford to sit down complacently and allow these things to be without a protest? No! Here is a bloody stain that must be erased; an Angean stable that must be GAL FIVE cleansed at home before we can tell the other part of the world to be good. Before we can tell the barbarous Turk to cease his massacre of the Armenian, or punish the diabolical German for the violation of Belgium and France, we, the people of the United States, must bring to justice and punish the incarnate flends in our midst who violate every mandate and law of the Government by pillage, rapine and the murder of men, women, and children, because of their race. We have got to work, and work, and WORK! until all men who violate their oath of office, whether in Wyoming, Georgia, or Kentucky, are brought to the bar of justice. If the white press will not give publicity to these crimes, then let every Negro journal do its best to place the atrocities before the world in their true light. Let us seek the aid of all true Americans—and it can truthfully be said that the persons who believe in and practice mob law are not true Americans—to enact a Federal law that will punish criminals who kill by mob, and stamp out the foul blot on our escutcheon. The time is ripe; the time to work is now, before the beast becomes more bold. True Americans are ready to give their assistance that justice may prevail; soldiers from the Southland, who have been taught by experience, that true manhood is not the creature of any particular race, come back with the determination that the folds of the banner carried by them to victory in the battles for democracy, shall not be suilled by the slime of lawlessness. We cannot expect to sit quietly and have others struggle for our cause; we cannot complacently fold our hands and say, "Oh, everything will come out all right"; "don't worry." But let us realize that there are strenuous times ahead; times that will test our courage, our manhood and our sincerity. Are we ready? Let us look the danger in the face squarely; confront it with a courage unfinchingly, and seek to make these United States a safe plac for all, black and white, to live in. Let the Negro journals give the publicity to the death of every person who dies by mob violence, so that the conscience of public opinion may be awakened. A Noble Outoast Second Time In Los Angeles The best light drama ever played in Los Angeles is the Comedy-Tradey, "A Noble Outcast," in three acts to be staged Tuesday evening, Jan. 28, at Gamut Auditorium, 1044 So. Hope St. About a year ago "A Noble Outcast" was staged at Gamut to a fairly good house, but nothing like what the production warrants, and the supurb acting deserves as patronage. In spite of the fact that the play is brim full of fun and keeps the audience laughing the whole evening, there is a severe lesson to be learned, that makes one feel that he has not only been pleased, but likewise his high sense of morality has been keenly awakened, and he comes out of the atmosphere of the "Noble Outcast" feeling that he has been benefited.

Mr. and Mrs. Bowers, the two leading characters, along with the entire personnel, are at their best as amateur actors. The play this time is to be staged for the benefit of Wesley Chapel's Choir, and promises to be even better in every detail. Remember, you owe it to yourself to see the "Noble Outcast," and be inspired. I have seen it, and I am looking forward to this return engagement with enthusiasm. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bass, 822 Central Ave., Los Angeles, Cal. My Dear Friends:— With the coming of the Eagle today I received with unbounded joy the information of Assemblyman Robert's election. It gave me added vigorand I find myself immediately penning a word of congratulation to all who played a part in this great achievement. Having helped to win the great struggle for democracy, our hope is sustained that a just reward will surely home. It also expresses the fact that the sense of a square deal is by no means dormant in the heart of our brother in white. I commend the people of Los Angeles for pushing to the front such a worthy character as Assemblyman Roberts. A man whose metal has been tested and not found wanting. A man who by his deeds of uplift, his strong love for humanity, and his deep regard for abiding principles has steadily climbed the ladder of popularity and endeared himself to all who have been touched by contact with him. The Race needs such men to carry her standard. We have great problems before us; they call for great men, whose visions are clean, whose feet are steady and whose hearts are right. I hope to address the men of my regiment Sunday. The boys who yesterday had their flag decorated for courage displayed on the field of battle; the boys who buried all grievances, disregarded all heartaches, closed ranks and made the great adventure in the hour of stress, for the sake of flag and country. I shall tell them that the home fires are still burning, that the seed of democracy is wet with the dew of growth, that after all they have not stormed the ramparts in vain, that prejudice and Prussianism are doomed. The 369th Infantry salutes you. With joined hands let us journey on. P. S.—I thank you healthily for The Eagle, which comes regularly. Needless to say it still spars almost bearing the standard of right. May the All Wise ever guide its destiny and sustain the noble courage which ever beams from its pages.

The young Symphony Orchestra ensembled for their first and regular rehearsal at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday, Jan. 8. This is a 40-piece Symphony Orchestra, made up of the local talent of the city. The Orchestra was honored by the presence of several distinguished visitors and they enjoyed some encouraging remarks from one of Los Angeles' leaing teachers and directors, in the person of Prof. Douglas Greer. The professor was so overcome by the uniformity and perfect discipline of the Orchestra that he declared there is nothing for you but success, and success in abundance. You should not stop with but mere success; but you aspire to and your aim should be to tour the world. Your splendid director has the intellect, a keen car and that energy means the greatest success. I thank you. John A. Mitchell, Director. James W. Warren, Concert Master. Prof. Le Blanc, Business Manager. --- F.

Rev. Reed is pastor of the New Hope Baptist Chutch; Vice-Moderator of the Western Baptist Association; and Field Secretary of the W. B.S. 8. and B. Y. P. U. Conyentions. Emancipation Celebration Parade a Great Success. New Year's Day was a gala day for, the Race at San Rernardino. The most pompous celebration of the is- suing of the, Emancipation Procla- mation held in the West was carried out here. The celebration was char- acterized by a great street pagent, more than a half mile long. ‘The procession was made up in the following order: A squad of re- turned colored soldiers and High School cadets, and Civil War veter- ans in autos, “Old Glory” carried by twelve Race men, the official car, with, Revs. G. W. Reed, chairman and promoter of the celebration, Fred A. Hughs, Secretary Frank Jobnson, who presided at the park meeting, following the official car was a float Tepreesnting a school during the reconstruction period; then followed four other floats, representing the four decades after reconstruction; then came the cars with school chil- dren. Following were autos filled with the ladies of the Race, and other persons. Timely sentiments ot the Race were expressed on large plac- ards, such as “We Fought Bravely,” “what Next.”” The school children’s float carried a banner on which was inseribed, “Shall these be kept back.” The float representing the Nation- al Association for the advancement of colored people carrié#! {tel Goddess of Liberty; with an ax in hand, cutting theshackies from Welayg.’ The Dally ‘Sun, a local white paper, said it was the “most appropriate” of all the floats. 5 Sead When the paragW reached . Sixth and E Sts. it was biited, that the officials cars bearhmé Rev. G. W. Reed, the director and promoter of the celebration, might get out of line to view the parade. His car drove to the entrance of the park and there with bared head, a smile on his face and tears streaming down his cheeké, reviewed the pagent. Turning to Rev. Frank J@&#i@#.; who was riding with him, he safd: “Thank God, to- day I see the realization pf a vision of ten years ago. This is not to make things look big but for what it. will mean to the race.” “Today's event proves Dr. Reed to be a master organizer and a leader of the Race, who no longer should be kept in the background. Not by reputation, but by divine things, he has proved himself. A white man, observing the parade, was hear to say, “whoever this Mr. Reed is who got up this affair, he must be a worthy man and should be honored and appreciated, by his Race.” ‘The celebration -was financed ab- solutely by the Race; not one penny was askd of the other.race, The parade was healed by a band ot fif- teen’ pteces, under the direction of Mr. La Blance of Los Angeles. Rev. Hughes was one of the speakers, poth at the park and at the club house. Rev. Reeddelivered the speech of the evening. Like the man, it was great? sa | New Hope Baptist Charch Harris and 7t hSts. New Hope Baptist Church was the scene of two great services on last Sunday. The mornnig service was devoted to an old-time covenant meeting.

A NEW YEAR RESOLVE. "There is more Christianity in a smile to the living than a eulogy to the dead." We believe that a silent but constant testimony speaks louder than many words. In his native good-natured fashion the rince drew from his bag a flag which he exhibited, saying that for two hundred and fifty years the white man has been lying to you, saying that you had no flag, but here, shouted Prince Kaba Rega, is your very own flag. These emblems you see represent the ancient traditions of the tribes of Africa. TO GET SOMETHING It is said that America's greatest Negro educator has gone to France, not in the interest of the American Negro, but in the interest of Africa for the Africans. ASSEMBLYMAN ROBERTS. Many persons interested in the future success of Mr. Roberts as the first Race man to represent Race people in this State are anxiously praying that his health will permit him to act well his part at the State Capital. They lament the fact that Mr. Roberts was not able to answer "present" at the first roll call. DEMISE OF EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. On the eve of the 1920 Presidential campaign, when thinkers of the nation were searching around for the greatest American to fill the greatest position, all eyes, it seems, were turned towards Roosevelt. Especially did the sable sons of Uncle Sam who had done service on the battle fields of France look to Ex-President Roosevelt as their fearless champion of human rights. As they looked to Lincoln in the sixties so looked they to Roosevelt at this time. But the All-Seeing Power that rules the Universe—the God of man—works in a mysterious way. Why should he be taken at this time when we need him most? Who is able to answer this question? No one—not even he who studies the stars, the sun and the moon—predicts the appearanec of a new comet can tell—no, not even he. The summons came, and Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest American of his day, answered to his name, and those who would have him guide the destiny of this country for another Presidential term, are grooping about, as it were, in the dark, looking for a man with Roosevelt principles, big heart, big mind; and above all, big idea of justice for all the people to get in the Presidential saddle. For even no part of the great world war drama was staged on American soil, never-theless, the American people and American interests will be greatly affected by the reconstruction period, and a steady hand is needed to guide the des- Do unto others as you would they should do unto you. We have communications daily by persons seeking information concerning lost relatives or concerning the possibilities for home-seekers in California—stamps are unknown quantities in the communications. Now friends, we have no free stamps department furnished by Uncle Sam—we advise that you see him first. PEOPLE HEAR REAL PRINCE For a number of years the Afro-Americans dwelling in this country thought of their own people in terms of kings, queens, princes, etc., as fairy tales, but last Sunday, when Prince Kaba Rega appeared at the Forum and cancelled every doubt as to the part played by the sons of Ham in the laying of the foundation of this world's civilization. Aside from telling the people many interesting facts concerning the "fatherland," Prince Kaba Rega graphically described his mission in this country at this time. Said the Prince: "I am not here to induce you to go to Africa nor am I here to sell you stocks in any proposition, but I am here to ask everyone of the thirty-five thousand Negroes in this city to subscribe the dollar toward the buying of a missionary ship that can ride the ocean and let me take the gavel into times of America at this time. ```markdown ``` 1.

Commencing of the new year of 1919, I experienced a very pleasant evening at the organizing a branch to the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, which was held at the Masonic Hall. Not only myself, but some of the intelligent Race men and women received insults of unbrotherly spirit of a few of the so-called and would-be leaders, who are trying to dominate over the progressive members of the Race. If the desire of the Negro in San Diego is to unite and blot out discrimination, disfranchisement and segregation, first thing to do is to blot out that domineering and jealous spirit that was taught to our ancestors and reared in us by the Southern white man, or Negro hater, learn diplomacy. My friends and I gave our time, money, and inspiring thoughts, in trying to help Mr. W. T. Hendry organize a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. in San Diego, as I received the same authority from the field secretary of the Association. After consulting with Mr. Hendry, he authorized me to continue, but the understanding was for us to work together. I was willing, but Mr. Hendry and his followers lagged behind until my assistants and myself secured a membership of fourteen, and I called a meeting for New Year's night, which was my meeting and not Mr. Hendry's. The music was donated by the Rosseau Orchestra; refreshments by A. L. Brown, H. June and Mrs. M. Menchow. After Mr. Hendry and his followers showed their uncequeness by demanding supremacy. I stepped aside, as I did not want to show niggerlam, and let them take the floor, hoping that they are now satisfied. His society ringleaders upheld him and ignored me, and also those that assisted me, in trying to bring this power in San Diego. It was not the great Association to the successful office I was seeking, it was the respect that was due me and my workers. The manner in which Miss Maude Winston was treated was a disgrace, and those that took part in voting her out of the chair as secretary should apologize to her at our next meeting. We must learn to respect our younger generation, and give them an opportunity to show their talent, so as to succeed in this progressive world. As these were shown in the sale, so to speak, elected as treasurer, I will continue and hope that the people will take interest in this great Association and work together so as to push it to the front and demand the principles that it stands for. The elected executive officers are: Mr. W. T. Hendry. President; Mr. W. Saunders, Vice President; Mr. W. McDonald, Secretary, and R. E. Chapman, Treasurer.

Not because its members are saturated with egotism, but because it is afflicted with the largest flock of "tennis pretendes" and feels it her sportsman-like duty ao set the pace by firing the first cannon shot of the huge 1919 national tennis tournament drive to be held in New York Aug. 16 to 23, the Alpha Tennis Club on Jan. 3 pledged one hundred iron men ($100) as an opener of the sinking fund created by the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs. This fund is for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the several ladies and gents (who qualify) to be created and expressed to the metropolis to battle and defend the "tennis honor, honesty, integrity and general sportsmanship of So Cal." It is hoped that the Young Ladies Athletic League, the West Side Tennis Club, the Glendale Tennis Club, and also the Santa Monica Tennis Club, will make a substantial pledge toward this fund. Colored Athlete carelessly dropped a stick of dynamite into local tennis circles last Monday night when it opened the popular subscription fund with a beautiful, exquisitely engraved and attractive 8-o-l-d cup, which will be on exhibition at Prentices' drug store after Sunday. Just now the cup is really the property of Colored Athlete, since in its neck was stuffed a perfectly good and brand new five-dollar bill; the next owner will have to "raise the ante," and so the next. The final owner and highest bidder's name will be engraved upon the cup at the end of the drive in August. The daily standing of contestants will be shown in the -window at Prentice's, the weekly tabulation will appear in "Tennis Chatter." All money and communications should be directed to the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs. Dr. A. C.
