ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 VISITING NEW QRLEANS (Continued from last issue) By Verner Lewis Gordon We were finally into New Orleans the very heart of the South—New Orleans, the city of high board fences and quaint French dwellings, and court yards. You are at once charmed with its friendly people and surprised at the many changes in the thinga that"used to be." The old canals that were once breeding places for the dreaded mosquito and malaria are now completely covered over by splendid concrete promenades; the gutters are no more for its sewer system is complete; the old cistern which was a huge round wooden tank used for holding the family supply of water is now replaced by hydrants through which runs the hard filtered water of the Mississippi River. The inhabitants say that the old cistern water tasted best—I thought so too. The streets are narrow but the avenues are all wide; the car lines are numerous and the service quick. The cars are small when compared with Los Angeles' cars but the roadways on two or three lines are thing of beauty being flanked on either side by green strips of parking and ornamental trees; the houses of the old type are fast giving way to the modern bungalow but the roofs are all slanted instead of being shingled since the wind and rain storms here are frequent. But this quaint city has still much improvement to make. Her public markets, several of them are not screened any place thus leaving the meat exposed to swarms of flies. This is particularly true of the Second St. market and also the Poydras. New Orleans is a very old city having been founded in 1718 by Bienville and its early history tells of both Spanish and French rule, thus accounting for its mixture of people there. In 1803 French was almost the exclusive language of the inhabitants. History says that the much talked of Creole were the descendants of French and Spanish colonists but as it now stands there are a very large number of Negro descendants, too. Some of these Creoles are white, some brown, some black. Some of them speak very good French while others speak a patols. However, there are a number of these persons who speak very little English. It must not be confused in our minds that all New Orleans people are Creoles. The Colored people in New Orleans are divided into two distinct groups, living in different sections of the city. The English speaking Colored people living above Canal St. and the Creoles living below Canal St. This street is the dividing line of the city. Of course we do find person of each set living in all parts of the city. The Creoles are kind, friendly and very generous. The women have always been considered very beautiful. But this distinct division between the Colored people there in New Orleans has worked against them. Were they to stand unified their 100,000 strong would demand better treatment from the white people there. Thero has always been in New Orleans among certain class an ignorant feeling about color. It is too bad that this is true but this thing has gone on for years and years and it has been a hindrance to Colored New Orleans. I heard a very prominent man in New Orleans say that if that horrid color feeling could be gotten out of some people there in New Orleans that a whole lot of them would amount to something but it is quite fashionable among some of our folk in New Orleans to "pass for white." On the other hand there is a zealous, ambitious, intelligent set of Negroes who are always bending efforts working and hoping that some day New Orleans Negroes shall come into their own. Coored people in New Orleans live everywhere; in any direction that you may choose to go you find them. They are living in houses now that some years ago would not rent to Colored. But this colored population is pushing in all directions. In a certain exclusive residential section there are some of our people, too, and they were in this section before the whites were—the homes in this section of our people are excellent inside as well as out. Still others have their own The California Eagie homes in other parts of the city. The home life among New Orleans' best people would do credit to any section of any country. To give an idea of the size of New Orleans' black population it is safest to quote statistics: April 15, 1910, 89, 672; April 15, 1915, 95,743; April 15, 1916, 96, 909; April 15, 1917, 98, 075; the present estimate is given as 100,000. To segregate thjs Colored population would be a hurricane task well nigh impossible. They are living side by side of the white people. Among the activities among our people there is a well-conducted day nursery. It was formerly held in the basement of the Union Bethel Church but it now occupies a home next to door. The Red Cross has been ably directed by Mrs. Ada Ross and is still greeting the boys as they arrive home from all parts of the country; a well-built Colored Library stands at the head of Phillip St., conducted entirely by Negroes: doctors, lawyers, dentists, trained nurses, mechanics—you find them in every walk of life doing A-1 work. The hair dressing parlor thrive like mushrooms over night—all of them seem to do well. One of these parloris is conducted by the energetic wife of the pastor of the progressive Tulane Baptist Church. Both of these persons are young people that we may well be proud of. Mrs. White handles an immense amount of work daily having five or six girls steadily employed. Some of them are learning the trade. In connection with this hair work Mrs. White has opened an ice cream parlor not only for her trade but for the public—she carries a complete line of toilet articles and notions. Mrs. White is very amiable thus winning new customers daily. Her first graduating exercise from this school of hair culture was held August 28th at the Tulane Baptist Church. The one Coored weekly paper published in New Orleans is the Vindicator edited by E. M. Dunn. This thirty little paper deserves better support than its 100,000 Colored people are giving it. Its editorials are alone, worth the price of the subscription. But there are times that there are no publications then again it is quite regular. One editorial I shall not forget. In fact it has been saved for the Eagle readers. It was headed: "What Can We Do?" It brought to my mind an incident that occurred that Sunday afternoon in the Pythian Temple when there sat in the audience certain of the victims of the Burgalosa outrages and also the father of the boys who were lynched at Shubota, Miss. It has been suggested by someone that this unfortunate father besides being given sympathy be tendered a healthy collection whereupon a well-known Methodist minister of New Orleans jumped to his feet and in flowery speech reminded the audience that they had invoked God's blessings upon that brother and that he didn't think a collection should be given him; and that after prayer and blessing, why. What Can We Do? Needless to say, he was hooted down. The N. A. A. C. P. is looming largely with Rev. E. W. White, pastor of Tulane Baptist Church as its president. There are associated with him in this organization men who dare to do and with this man who is fearless in speech as its guiding head we should expect some lively happenings before long. Rev. C. H. Hubbs is another man who bears this same commendable stamp of character having always been frank and truthful on issues concerning the Race—our people. There are others that space will not allow me to mention we are proud to know and there are others who have stooped to every form of treachery, preachers included. In fact some certain preachers have had to say about our people there than the people themselves, trying to boss everything even the school board when it comes to our girls getting in the schools. There are 80 Baptist Church in the city of New Orleans; some eight or nine being within a radius of five blocks; five A. M. E. Churches, of which the St. James is unquestionably the leader; 1 C. M. E. 12 M. E.; 4 Advonits; numerous Catholics but no Scientist Church as yet. The Colored people who are Catholics San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland THE OLDEST LARGEST worship with the white but there are at least two Colored Catholic Churches well attended. It must be remembered that a large part of the population of New Orleans is Catholic. Its cathedrals are works of art and beauty. The Tulane Baptist Church issues a monthly church bulletin that is indeed interesting. The conducting of the service in this church is a credit to Colored people anywhere. It is a genuine feast, of things good to hear no matter when you go. The reverend pastor of the Sixth Baptist Church has served it continually for the past forty-five years and yet this man is sprightly and doing wonderful service still. Many New Orleansians here will remember Rev. John Marks. The theatres in New Orleans segregate you or do not let you in at all. The Lyric is given over entirely to Colored being owned by whites but run by Colored. Its program consists of all Colored performers. They do a vast lot of business as each performance is crowded. If the Colored people would demand a better show I feel certain that the management would grant it. At times the dancing is decidedly vulgar and the jokes coarse. The place is wel kept and the music good. A Colored Jazz Band supplying the music. They do not play all jazz music, either, for some of the selections were in a very serious vein. The movie picture houses as a rule do not admit Colored at all unless it is such a rough place that no respectable person would go; the Palace theatre admits Colored but you must go through a side alley then up a dirty flight of stairs that you may get to your seat. It is only the riff riff of our people who go o these places since our best people do not go. Other theatres admit you through entrances off from the main entrance. There is now one Colored High School supported by the State in New Orleans but there are other high and normal, also colleges supported by endowments or certain religious connections. Straight University, New Orleans University, supported by Methodist Episcopal Church. The old famous Southern University from which so many of Orleanians here hall is now situated at Baton Rouge. What was Southern is now Xavier University supported through the philanthorpy of a Catholic widow, now decreased; Lealand is no more. This school was supported by the Baptists. It was in what has now become the choiceest residential section of New Orleans—protests and agitations on the part of the white people finally prevailed. The reason for abandoning Lealand was not the same as the people there who know give. Among the old interesting places in New Orleans are the old French Market; the St. Louis Cathedral where Bienvilled first laid out the town of New Orleans; the Congo Square, said by white historians to have been the rallying ground for voudoud worshippers who were brought to New Orleans from Haiti and Santo Domingo after the great Haitian uprising; the United States Mint at the head of Esplanade Ave., overlooking the busy river front; then there is the Cabildo where the transfer of Louisiana from Spain to France and from France to the United States took place. The Louisiana musium now in this building has among its relics the crum upon which was beat the roll call of January 15, 1815; relics of the Louisiana State Lottery, od slave sale certificates and slave hand-euffs. The separate car in New Orleans is a farce. On lines where Colored people are in majority you see the screen on the floor or off to one side as often as you see it in its place. Our race is accommodating to the other in the matter of seats. The very fact that we have to always be behind these screens is what grills. There are other mean humiliations Southern Colored people must suffer and downright injustices. Is it right that the Colored girls teaching, men too, in the public schools should be paid less salary than white persons doing the same work? Well, it is so in New Orleans. No! I would not want to live there again—but you could not know a finer people than the people of New Orleans. It is not the people but the conditions under which harass you on every side and seem constantly trying to make a Negro know that he is far less than a white man be-he ever so low. But the entire South is awake and in due time Colored folk shall come into their own. THE END U. B. F. AND S. M. T. HOLD GRAND In keeping with its policy which is "Progress" on Saturday evening Aug. 23rd preliminary to the opening of the Annual Grand Session about one hundred persons including members of the various Temples and the new members who were to form the new California Temple No. 17 met at Masonic Hall at 12th, and Central Ave. where the business of setting up the new Temple was carefully accomplished by State Worthy Princess Mrs. S. Shoree and deputies Mesdames M. Harris, and Willingham. California Temple but a baby now with Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards as head promises to be one of the leading Temples of the State. Monday morning when the annual gong sounded for the assembly of the session of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. a pretty sight it was to see more than 200 women immaculate in white take their stations as officers and members in a lodge that is the product of Negro brains. MRS. SARAH SHORES MRS. SARAH SHORES During the week the enthusiasm that characterized the opening of the session grew in interest until Thursday afternoon, when the oil of gladness was poured upon the meeting to the extent that there were indications of an old time revival. Mrs. S. Shores who was again honored as head of the Women's end of the work has really made the development of the S. M. T. in the State of California the chest corner stone of her life's work. Other officers elected for the ensuing term were: Mrs. Belle Johnson San Diego V. P. Katie Teats Pasadena, W. F. Katie Wynn Pasadena, A. W. F. M. Woodyard, Los Angeles, W. T. Trustees Mrs. J. E. Williams, Mrs. E. Warner, Mrs. A. Refew, Mesdames Mary Allen W. C. R. Wooten, W. J. R. McPherson W. A. A. Judia W. Z. L. Stanley W. C. G. Harmon W. P. D. Cassell S. M. A. Jackson J. M. A. Henry O. F. K., C. Harris S. M. M. Twain, A. S. M. M. On Tuesday evening a new state Grand Royal House was organized by Brother W. F. Woodyard, M. M. K. and Sister Eliza Warmer, M. G. Odd Fellows Hall where the 1919 Grand Lodge session was held was beautifully decorated, and each day the more than one hundred and fifty women delegates who assembled prostated a spectacular figure in immaculate white. Mrs. S. Shores state Grand Princess, demonstrates special fitness for the queenly place of which she is Queen. EAGLE RACE JOURNAL Y, SEPTEMBER 2, 1919 PEPPERY PARAGRAPHS FROM REV. A. P. SHAW'S SERMON TO THE U. B. F. AND S. M. T. LODGES, SUNDAY MAY 25TH. "I think it appropriate, since I am preaching the Annual Sermon of these Lodges which are the product of race genius, to touch on matters which concern the race. If you have come to hear the principles of your order discussed by one who knows nothing about them, you shall be disappointed. To such persons I wish to say in the beginning, if the rules of your order permit it, you may now be excused." The two most powerful forces at work among us as a race are the lodges and the churches. In things economic the lodges are more powerful than the churches and have even a much greater responsibility. I can never see such a large number of our people together without praying that their eyes might be opened that they might see the full measure of their strength and opportunity. In economic matters both the lodges and churches have made similar blunders. The churches have over-emphasized heaven, the golden streets and walls of jasper, joy, achievement, and victory after death. The real attraction in the lodges has been—"We bury the dead, take care of the sick, we look after the poor widows and orphans"—I do not want anybody to misunderstand me and A. for Ta Ch S. Tr C. lis W think that I am opposed to such things. I am not. But I am opposed to organizations that profess to be as large as humanity in their sympathies that do no more for men than that. What kind of a civilization would we have if we had none of heaven here, nothing but fine cemeteries, hospitals and homes for widows and orphans? We know that such a civilization would be dead. We must have life-factories, business men and women, tradesmen and artisans, teachers and preachers—living, moving, and progressive forces in the living, active, world of healthy people. If the lodges have performed the wonders they have with sickness, death and burial as a center of attraction, what could you do if you centered around life? Too many of the secrets of secret orders are worthless. The white people of Georgia are opposing secret societies, because they fear that the colored people are in them planning secretly for their uplift and protection. They need fear nothing from that source. We wouldn't come out of the Ancient Temple of Solomon long enough to prevent the lynching of our mothers, wives and sisters by a rang of white ruffans. I wish I had time to organise a lodge built up on a new principle with a new center of attraction and a new way of doing things altogether. Or what is better still, I wish the rules of this splendid race order were IN THE WEST flexible enough to get out of an ancient rut now and then. I'd like to see an order that did away with "pass words" and permitted its members to enter on "pass deeds." If I had my way in Los Angeles where our people are doing such a little in business, I'd have such questions as these asked at the door of every lodge: "Are you glad you are a Negro?"—No! "Are you interested in race enterprises?"—No! "Are you trading with race firms other things being equal?"—No! Do you use a race physician, dentist or lawyer?"—No! Will you follow the advice and counsel of your tried race leaders more willingly than that of a mere joke of a white man?"—No! "Stay out; you cannot enter here." I'd like to see a lodge among us in whose meetings so much precious time was not lost repeating dead rituals. We could use the time more profitably planning to promote the social, civic and commercial welfare of our people. Some of our lodges have since your organization added endowment and monument departments. It seems to me that at some of the Grand Lodges this summer the organization of a Commercial Department would be a step in the right direction. What an excellent thing it would be if each Order in his city conducted a paying business of some kind and the members were fined when they failed to patronize them just as they are when they fail to sit up with the sick, attend a funeral, or turn out on the Annual Sermon Day. This alone would be a source of great revenue. ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE A. M. E. CHURCH IN SESSION AT LASDENA On Wednesday at 1:00 clock the Rt. Rev. Bishop H. B. Parke presiding Dipst of the Fifth Episcopal District called the Annual Conference to order at Pasadena. 3 numbers answered roll call representing as many churches. Among those present are Revs, J. H. Wilson presiding Elder, Fred A. Hughes, Jas. Washington, J. Logan Craw, J. M. Brown, J. H. C. Redd, W. C. Davies, H. E. House, T. A. Collins, A. W. Lacey, J. M. Branford, H. Judkins, J. W. Price, J. F. C. Taylor, N. Pryor, A. Simpson, J. N. Cherry, F. L. Donoho, J. E. Fletcher, S. E. Edwards, B. R. Guy, G. L. Triggs, C. C. Carter, H. J. Hardinett, C. J. Lockhart, Wm. Prince, Evangelist Robert True, Laymen George Warner and M. E. Brooks. The reports showed the churches to be in a most excellent condition and progress was reported all along the line. Notable reports came up from the small churches throughout the District, and the Metropolitan churches at Los Angeles and Oakland was up with a marked increase over the previous year. The dollar money report was a grand total of $2441.50 The Womens Mite Missionary Society held forth Thursday and it was indeed, a notable session. Thursday evening was educational night at which time a great demonstration was held on behalf of Education. Friday A Big Day. As we go to press the contest of the session is on for the election of delegates to the General Conference. Presiding Elder J. H. Wilson has a clear field as one of the delegates. It is conceded that the race for the second one will be hotly contested between our own Rev. J. Logan Craw Rev. J. M. Brown and Rev. James Washington. It is however a friendly contest and regrets over defeat will be in order. The appointments will be given out Sunday evening; it is the consensus of opinion that no sweeping changes will be made. Pasadena will draw a new man as Rev. J. F. C. Taylor has decided to locate. Rev. J. H. Brown of Oakland will doubtless go back to that City for his fifth year, where he has accomplished such marvelous work; while Rev. J. Logan Craw the miracle man who has so successfully steered the ship of state at 5th. and Towne Ave. will be accorded the distinguished privilege of rounding out his Fifth year which is the limit in the A. M. E. church. And then we predict too that when the General Conference has finished its labor that it will be found that the great prelate and might preacher H. Bluminger Fuchs will be just the THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. man to care for this great and big work in the 5th Episcopal District. The date of the Queen Esther Cantata has been indefinitely potponed until the cars are running on Schedule. THE REV. ARCHIE J. WILLIAMS PASTOR OF TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH BUYS NEW CHURCH. The Rev. Archie J. Williams who is but a young man in the ministry is making such strides in the development of his church life in the West section as to attract the admiration of his co-workers in church extension. Less than two years ago Rev. Williams started the development of a Mission in the West section of the city with four members. Today he has a membership of 40 and 150 children in his Sunday School. A few days ago Rev. Williams purchased a commodious church building which he moved from Santa Fe Ave., to 36th. and Normandie at a total cost of $550.00. And now Trinity Church ranks with the progressive churches of the city. The following is the report of col- lection at the ground breaking services on August 25th.: Western Baptist Association $25.00 Second Baptist Church 16.67 Tabernacle Baptist church 15.00 New Hope Baptist church 12.50 Ind. Church of Christ 11.10 Mt. Zion Baptist church 11.00 West Side Benevolent Church 6.60 Metropolitan Baptist church Pas.2.50 Smith and Williams 2.50 Macedonia Baptist church Wafts 2.75 St. Paul Baptist church 2.25 Trinity Baptist church 25.00 RABRI DR. ROSENTHAL EN DORSES LOUIS MICHEL'S EPIC POEM IN RINGING WORDS OF PRAISE. In a splendid letter, endorsing the Louis Michel Epic, entitled, 'The Tortured Negro or the Cry for Justice', Rabbi Dr. Rosethal of Sinia Temple, corner of 12th, and Valencia Sts. the most influential Orthodox Rabbi of Los Angeles, and a member of the Rabbinical Association of America, makes these significant statements: Thanking you for the copy of your poem on the Negro Problem, I want to congratulate you upon your poetic gift so skillfully expressed and exemplified therein. The stanzas breathe a heart-deep sympathy for an oppressed race and show a broad humantarianism such as the old Testament inculcates and insists upon. The "Punch" that it contains, is admirable and the comprehensive treatment of the subject is, I think, a masterly one. The poem ought to win an abiding place in English literature." This opinion of Dr. Rabbi Rosenthal was rendered upon the first Chapter or the first ten stanzas of the epic, and later on this scholarly gentleman can be relied upon to render a second opinion upo the full Poem for the Race. Icidentally it is very noteworthy that through this epic poem a great Rabbinical Champion for Justice for the Negro has been discovered in this City. Thus it will be seen how powerfully this epic tugs on peoples hearts and strikes into readers brain, hence, let us all pull together and circulate it. A LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE MAYOR OF SAN DIEGO BY A. L. PORTER DURING HIS SO-JOURN IN THAT CITY. Hon. L. J. WHide, Mayor of San Diego. Dear Sir: On behalf of the Colored Citizens of this great and growing city and also on behalf of the visitors from other cities: words cannot express our appreciation and gratification to you for the broad stand you have taken in the cause of justice and right for all men and for all countries. 1884 President of the Madam C.

Let Two splendid services were enjoyed at this church on the past Sunday. The pastor preached at both services. The congregations at both services were heaped because of the practical, spiritual messages brought to them. The business session of the fourth quarterly conference was held on Monday night and the reports of the various departments showed that the work of the church had shown a marvelous improvement in all lines of activity. The pastor has two more Sundays before he goes to the annual Conference at Santa Monica on the 17th of this month. General funds are now due and the pastor and officers request that the members pay this assessment as soon as possible and get it out of the way. Sunday is the first Sunday in September and the last Communion Sunday before the annual conference. The pastor and officers are expecting the members out in force to both the services on the coming Lord's day. The Choir continues to please with their spiritual singing. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this fast growing church. Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. HAMILTON M. F. CHURCH Cor. 18th and Naomi Avenue Rev. S. M. Beane, Pastor. Sunday services at this church were of a high order during the entire day. The Sunday School continues to grow in a way that speaks volumes for its future usefulness. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning and evening hour, preaching sermons from the themes: "The Lord is my Song," in the morning; and "The Exceeding Greatness of His Power," at night. The 4th Quarterly Conference was held at 3 o'clock. This was an inspiring service. The reports showed the work in good condition, and progress was reported along all lines. The Superintendent inspired the audience with a description of the Cleveland meeting of the District Superintendents. Come and worship—a cordial invitation awaits you. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH— 740 Maple Avenue All visitors in our Sunday School received the hearty welcome of the Pastor, Superintendent and Teachers last Sunday morning. The lesson on Temperance was most helpfully discussed and everyone received therefrom inspiration and instruction. At our 11 o'clock service the Lord gave us His presence and His blessing. The message, Acts 20:32—"Now brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace." The word was indeed with power and with the demonstration of the Spirit. One joined the church at the close. Owing to the interruption with our Street Cars the B, Y, P, U. could not hold its usual session. We urge all our young People to rally to the cause and meet early and not allow anything to prevent this part of our from going forward. Our Junior Missionary Society held its usual meeting and carried out a splendid program. The pastor is pleased with all the efforts of the Young People and urge that they go on doing more and more for the Master. All the members are expected out on Sunday morning and to take part in a most enjoyable service. Being the First Sunday the Lord's Supper will be observed. The pastor urges full attendance. Let the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep and govern the entire Church in all things. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Sunday was another splendid day at Wesley. The pastor's morning sermon on the model church was well received. Our great Rally drive is still on. We added nearly $80.00 to the total making the effort cross over the $4000 mark and bringing the total up to $4035. Our members were never in better spirits and more confident of reaching the goal of $5000 by Conference in October and probably $6000 before the end of the year. We are beginning to realize that the slogan "Wesley out of debt next" is no idle dream but a reality. Subscribers and non-subscribers are all urged to bring in a liberal offering this Sunday and let us push the total still higher. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE and inspiring. We have learned the great secret of how to shout and sing and work at th same time. Let not our friends think that we are just raising money at Wesley. We are building for the King in every way. This Sunday promises to be one of unusual interest. The pastor will preach morning and evening. Communion services following each sermon. Every member is expected to fill his or her place at the communion table. Visitors and strangers always welcome. ST. PAUL BAPTIST INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH 21st and Naomi Avenue Rev. R. N. Holt, D. D., Pastor. Sunday was a glorious day for St. Paul's Holt preached morning and evening. While this man of God delivered these messages every soul was touched as by a heavenly wire and many cried out to God to have mercy upon them. Pastor Holt took leave for the National Baptist Convention which convenes in Newark, N. J., on Thursday morning. A great crowd of friends and members met at St. Paul Church Wednesday evening to bid an affectionate farewell to this much loved pastor whom they are sending the third time across the continent. "Father Holt" (Rev. T. G.) will have charge of St. Paul in the absence of Dr. R. N. Holt. Pastor Holt will visit some of the large churches of the North and East preparatory to arranging program for St. Paul Baptist Institutional Church. Visitors are welcome here. MACEDONIA BAPTIST CHURCH— Watts, California Rev. John A. Fleming, Pastor. Our Sunday School Lesson for August 31st was a temperance lesson taken from the first chapter of Daniel which was a subject teaching us to be temperate in many things such as talking, eating and drinking and numerous other ways. Daniel refused to eat the king's meat or to drink the wine offered him because he was living under the Mosaic law which taught him not to eat certain things of the world or he would defile his body and he purposed in his heart not to disobey the commands of God to please man. Every Sunday our historian carries us over the locations and historical part of our lesson in so thorough a manner that one can imagine himself traveling over those Biblical counties. Our pastor preached to us about "A wounded heart," at 11 o'clock. Many people are going through life with broken hearts, many are committing suicide because of broken hearts, and all because they do not put their trust in God; He heals all wounds, then trust Him to bear your burdens and meditate with Him day and night and He will keep us from all hurt, harm or danger. Our B. Y. P. U. Lesson, "Loyalty to Principles," taught us to purpose in our hearts to do the things which God would have us do and to be against everything that is wrong including the little so-called "no harm" things that are overthrowing so many of our young people who claim to be Christians. Our pastor's soul-stirring evening sermon was enjoyed by a large and appreciative congregation, many strangers and visitors present. The wheel has started rolling for the big Rally in October, the two clubs are running a fast race. "The Victory Club" gave an excellent program last Friday evening which was a grand success, financially. The "Willing Workers" gave an all-day dinner Labor Day with all kinds of refreshments for sale, w which was also a grand success financially. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH—34th St. and Central Avenue F. E. Lightner, A. B., B. D., Pastor Splendid services were held at this Church throughout the day on last Sunday. The pastor occupied the pulpit at the morning hour taking as his text: "Let us follow after the things which make for peace, and the things wherewith we may edify one another." Rom. 14:15. The special music for this service was rendered by Prof. Heath. At the evening hour which was given over for the most part to a Sdg Service by Prof. Heath, assisted by the Choir, Mrs. Sterns of San Diego held the audience in rapt attention as she spoke for a few minutes on the solution of the Race Problem. This Sunday, September 7th, there will be our regular monthly Communion Services, morning and evening. Every member of the Church is urged to be present at one or both of these services. Strangers cordially welcomed to all services. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH— 8th and Towne Avenue Rev. J. Logan Craw, Pastor. The Statistical Report of the First A. M. E.

On Monday, Labor Day, we had a delightful trip to Monrovia Canyon, arranged and conducted by Mrs. A. L. Potts and Mrs. Lola Compnext. Everyone seems to have enjoyed themselves immensely, and except the tension of muscles consequent to hiking all returned the better in joy and pleasantness. We may make this an annual picnic trip, improving accommodation by experience, so as to make it extremely pleasant for the old and young, the heavy and the light. Sunday being the first Sabbath it is a special day with us in spiritual blessings and material effort, let all attend the services of the Lord, and partake of the feast with us.

Temporarily my home is New York. I strolled toward the great tennis battle the other day, and my pace quickened as I heard California was here with her hat in the ring. All eyes were on Mr. Kemp as he battled bravely with a dark horse from New Rochelle, N. Y. Many hopes for a new champion were spilled when the gong sounded. No alibi is needed, but I do think if Kemp had been able to pass the first round his lightning-like smashes would have made history. Mr. Peters of Santa Monica drew Tally Holmes, the National Champion. The match was interesting as the scores indicate—7-5; 7-5. I was rooting for Mr. Peters and think he should have won, but the fact is he didn't. Playing the champion like that should speak volumes. Mr. Kemp and Miss Ray of Jamaica, were beaten by Mr. Wilkins and Miss Slough. This match was spiendid. We can always account for the losing of doubles, so I will keep quiet. Mr. Kemp and Mr. Jones held the court when they fought the last battle with Holmes and Smith. The latter won the first two sets with ease, 6-1; 6-1. Then with a burst of form which could not be checked Kemp and Smith took the third, 6-2. The last set saw the champions playing superbly and with it they took the championship. National Champion Singles, Tally Hotmes; Doubles, Holmes and Smith; Mixed Doubles, Mr. Wilkins and Miss Slough; Men's Doubles, Holmes and Smith; Ladies Singles, Miss Ray, Jamaice. Let us come back again next year with the same grit. Many upsets come in the world of sport as Heron showed by taking the golf title. California must have a champion; let's fight on with plenty of pep. All praise to Messrs. Kemp and Peters for fighting so well on a foreign field and strange courts. BENJ. C. ROBESON.

PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cov. 18th and Paloma 8s. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor. Last Sunday morning Rev. Greggs spoke from 1st Kings 17:16—"And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the crusse of oil fail." There are no conditions in this life but what God does not take care of. A migyat famine swept the shores of Israel because it was ruled by a wicked King. There is always sadness and destruction when the wicked rule, for God has intended that the world be ruled by righteousness. God sent Eliza to the King of Israel to deliver this message: "Because of your wickedness your city shall be destroyed." At God's bidding Eliza then went up near a brook to rest for three years where he would have plenty while the famine raged. On account of the drought the brook began to dry up, but Eliza trusted in God. He knew his Heavenly Father had His eyes on the situation, and so he was not disturbed. God does not always do things as we expect. He does not promise us wealth and luxuries but He does promise our needs shall be supplied. He says: "Be not unduly anxious about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. If God says for us today, can we not trust Him for tomorrow? If we are His Children we should have confidence in Him and trust Him for everything. Elija sat by the brook day after day watching it dry up and praying. As the last drops of water disappeared God spoke to Elija, just as Elija expected. Man's extremity is God's opportunity. God told Elija to go to the widow and she would supply his wants. God says that His grace is sufficient for all, and has promised if we trust Him He will provide for us under all conditions. In the evening the pastor's text was taken from Daniel 7:2-3. This sermon was indeed inspiring and all who heard it were greatly benefited by same. Five accessions were recorded for the day.

C. A. SPEAR.....Managing Editor J. B. BASS.....Editor Reverse the slogan of making the world safe for Democracy and in the revision lets make the unregenerated South safe for the lives of human beings. President Wilson will have a chance while passing through Texas to learn that in said State they lynch and burn human beings, perhaps some of the crackers thereof will present him one of the latest souvenirs of that hell ridden state. We are giving in full in this issue the statement issued by the N. A. A. C. P. anent the Shillady episode at Austin, Texas and feel that the same is a most damning conviction of the crackers and red necks of Texas. We can now understand what a prominent statesman meant when he said that if he had to choose between living in Texas or Arkansas and "Hell" that he would, without hesitancy choose "Hell" to live in. Onoe of our staid and solid business men who has made good in his line of effort is Milton W. Lewis, and when the records are compiled they will not be complete without recording his part along the line of locating our people on some of the best property of this city, and has instilled within them the inspiration to become property holders. What a wail goes up from the big dailies when some drunken Mexican takes a shot at an airplane, probably flying unlawfully over their territory. But nary a word at the mob spirit of the South toward both Black and White; and much less inclination to do so when Black men and women are lynched and burned at the stake. Along with all other admonition we shall ever keep to the forefront the fact that we cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that we must really and truly get in line as real producers and accept every opportunity to become produce—not only from the soil of the earth, but from the function of enterprises and the big things of life if we expect to keep pace with the mighty march of progress. Our "Turn on the Light" campaign promises to go great gains, already the much rakers are looking forward for a feast of the Buzzards; but in this they will be disappointed. Our reason for turning on the Light shall not be to satisfy sordid curiosity, but to make men and women realize the fact that this thing of playing both ends to the middle will not be tolerated any longer. So look out the Soaring Eagle will surely uncover so that all may read as they run. PEACE! PROSPERITY! UNION! Over in Pasadena the Annual Conference of the great A. M.

The Bt. Rev. Bishop Parks presides and directs the ship of state in a masterly way and is indeed a high credit to the same. The Soaring Eagle comes forth his issue with twelve pages of life and up-to-date news in- spiredment with high class ad- vertising. Our highest ambition is how to serve the people and we never spare time, or expense, to attain end. The effort which we forth is all our very own 15 ```markdown ``` handwork, every line of type is set by our own printers, on our own Linotype machine, by our own operators, our own news gatherers; all made possible by the support of our very own people. We are proud of you; we are going to keep up the march of progress and indeed make you proud of us. ADVERTIZE AND TELL THE WORLD. Marvelous indeed has been the accomplishments attained by the race; but the story has not been exploited in its fullness and therefore a full credit has never been ours. There is a reason for this and that reason is that we are short-sighted when it comes to advertising; it is a well-known anion that whenever we have or accomplish the things worth while, these are the things which are proper consumption for the world, but right here Ham's children get cold feet and keep the deeds worth while in cold storage, as it were. We know of organizations which meet annually and among themselves render magnificent reports of deeds and accomplishments worth while and when it comes to the exploitation of the same they immediately become too parsimonious to advertise the fact that they have made good along any line of effort. We know of individuals in business who too are so blinded that they cannot realize that they cannot be a real success unless they advertise. Be it known as a people, as an organization, or as an individual, if you are doing anything worth while to keep on, and to inspire others you must advertise and tell the world what you are doing. It is only the untoward things which call for selfishness and darkness, the crap shooters and Policy Sharks are wise to the proposition of turning on BUI that they cannot they ad- a peo- or as e doing o keep O.

St. In the Music World The Negro has given some of the fundamentals in the development of American Music ad these are: Rythm, Melody and the peculiarity of the melodic sequences. These salient features are readily discerned by those who listen to American Music. More and more is he coming into his own and Negro Musicans of to-day are greatly in demand for the lovers of popular music. Upon this foundation he must develop his own peculiar music in his own peculiar way. His music appeals primarily to the emotions, which is a great asset and when the intellectual side is also developed, there will be something to appeal to all ears. This development must come from within and will be the result of years of labor and many sacrifices. The Negro musician must be divided into four classes: The creator, the performer, the teacher and the student. We are rather well supplied with the last named three but have few of the first. The creator is he who will do the greatest amount of good in the development of our music. Upon him the other three classes will rest, for without compositions there will be no need for the teacher, performer nor listener. Hence our musicians must turn their time and talent to the study of composition. The teacher must do his share in development by cultivating the talent of the aspiring student and by using the compositions of race composers. The performer must do his share by playing or singing the works of the composer and the student, must earnestly study these works and try to render them as well as he is able. Thus, the real American music will be developed and will be worthy to be placed alongside the other great music of the World. Put it aside, BEFORE you spend it.

Church on last Sunday, August 31st, and left on Tuesday for Pasadena, the seat of annual conference, which met in that city Sept. 31st. Our Reverend brother told us he had a round report on all claims, and our knowledge of him assures us that it is so, for he is the best financier in the California Conference, for no other man could have accomplished what he did. He found a church debt of over a thousand dollars and back interest when he came to the pastorate, the last dollar of which was paid last June and the mortgage burned by "fire." He has made it possible for his successor to have easy sailing as far as church debt is concerned. Rev. Lockhard has bought a nice home on E. 10th and Sedwick street, and he intends to locate here. He has built up a good new and second hand furniture business and is doing a good business. Rev. F. W. Cooper is the gentle smiling pastor of the Second Baptist church. This is the second time within the last twelve years that he has been thus honored. Rev. Cooper has just been re-elected Corresponding Secretary of the Western Baptist Association, a position he has held for a good many years. That he is kent at the "helm" so long is evidence of his efficiency. Rev. Cooper is a good preacher and is well liked by all who know him. Every visiting minister who comes to Riverside finds Rev. Cooper's home and none is ever turned away if he comes duly accredited. The farewell reception tendered Rev. W. H. Rozier, pastor of Park Church, Aug. 22nd, was all that could be wished.

THE FAILURE OF NEGRO LEADERS If the events of the past year have not taught the American Negro that the road to freedom, (and do not here misunderstand us, we mean freedom, for the black man of this country is enchained by a form of slavery more hateful than physical bondage; to wit, economic slavery.) will not come by way of self sacrifice and loyalty to existing institutions, then no force or instrumentality within the control of man can do so. The year's happenings have remarkably contradicted the theory advanced a little more than two years by some of our so-called leaders, that the relinquishment of the struggle for complete political, economic and social independence in America by the American Negro during the period of the great war would have the effect of causing the powers that be to recognize the righteousness of our pre-war demands and of freely and wholeheartedly acceding them. Was ever a more fatuous argument advanced? Did leaders ever more completely betray a race than have our leaders in the past few years? Individuals elevated to a position of eminence by those who would later use them, they proved more than worthy of their hire. With scrupulous care they aligned the Negro with interests imminent to his own, and today they are making every effort to have you believe that the situation relating from our acceptance of their program was inconceivable to them. The Negro leader who says that he could not foresee what the laying aside of his own fight for democracy would result in is either a liar or a fool, and in either case he should be repudiated. We ask you. Is it possible to conscientiously advocate the retirement from a fight or firmly secure the fundamental principles underlying human progress? America has not yet produced a Negro leader worthy of the title. This is not a blanket of criticism of the ability along certain lines of the many black men white America has chosen as leaders of the colored people. On the contrary, we respect the late Mr. Douglass and the late Mr. Booker T. Washington; Messrs. DuBois, Miller, Scott, Johnson, Pickens, Simmons, and the host of minor characters, who in a less conspicuous manner assert a degree of over-lordship, but with the probable exception of Douglas, all of them have been found wanting in moral courage. Not one of them has ever stood inflexible for principle, all too enthusiastic for self aggrandizement, their only God has been self. Not one of them has ever been true to the race in the discussion of vital questions that needed the decision of a man who stood for the obtaining of manhood rights for his people, above all things else. The Negro should seek to securely establish his position as a citizen of this so-called democracy before he seeks to aid in the establishment of democracy abroad. How can a man aid in the setting up of an institution if he knows absolutely nothing about its structure? How could the American Negro conscientiously desire to impose upon any of the peoples of Europe the kind of democracy he enjoys? He was born in slavery, the slavery too of his ancestors, for the Father of this country owned several hundred slaves; nurtured by the blood of those same ancestors, who were freed from physical slavery, only when the very existence of the government as an undivided unit demanded it, and then they were forced into peonage or made economic slaves. How can the American Negro sincerely seek to liberate himself from the yoke he would impress upon another and expect the argument he advances as a reason for desiring his own liberation to be accepted as being more than mockery? We never stop to think of these things without being amazed at the offenalty of the man who is willing to give to his neighbor that which he considers not good enough for himself. That is what we are doing when we agitate the imposition of American democracy upon European peoples; but there is something still more amazing, and that is to find that the questions which vitally effected the person and property of black men and women in America were considered, by our white selected leaders, freeing of Belgium and Northern France from the grip of a few German money kings, who wished to settle for all time the question of commercial control with their English cousins. Mind you, they were leaders of our race, men who should have had at heart the interests of their own people, for those interests are as essential to our happiness and well-being as any which could effect any people in the world. Yet they chose to relegate to a future date the determination of questions effecting you and me so that questions effecting Tom, Dick and Harry, the other side of the world, could be decided, telling us that the settlement of the domestic affairs of foreign nations would make our own easier of solution, and with scarcely a dissenting voice we accept the leadership of these men, because of the superiority of their knowledge along certain lines their leadership should be tolerated, but confined to that of which their knowledge is peculiar, but since they are men who do not stop at the mere recital of the effects of race prejudice but who have traced the chain of causation back to the first link and who stand ready and willing to tell us of the composition of that chain, of its rottenness, of the manner by which we can do away with it and the evils it has caused, it behooves us to pause for a moment and to listen. Will we? Hardly. The cry goes up, but their program can only be instituted by an appeal to violence, which would if it were true, and the Negro rejected for that reason alone, stamp him as being a mongrel, for who but a mongrel, would fear to use to free himself the weapon by which he was enslaved; but it is not true. Those men are not making an appeal to violence; on the contrary they are consulting against its use advocating the use of weapons for more effective and less liable to bring antagonism to their cause. We classify the Negro in this way, he is-first of all a human being; then he is a Negro; last and least, those who claim allegiance to this country are Americans, but that only in name. This classification may be objectionable to you but we are not dealing in sentiment, we are not telling you what you would like to think you are. We are dealing with the truth as we see it. The American Negro, in the full sense of the term, is not a citizen of this country. Now as a human being what is the position of the Negro, by that we mean what part is he to play in the solving of a problem of far greater importance than the Negro Problem. We are too prince to treat the Race Problem as such as being the greatest of all problems when as a matter of fact it is but a part of a great world problem. The Negro must play as important a part in the working out many problems that are perplexing mankind today, as any other people. A government's obligation is first to the men, women and children within its confines, and yet in the light of historical precedent who ca show or tell of a nation that has held this obligation inviolate. Where in the history of the world have any people without resorting to armed rebellion, revolution or national dissertation of some description, obtained for themselves from their government any degree of political independence. Leaders then of a race should aspire to secure for their people their just rights and privileges without regard to price. The American, Negro has paid too much for what he has not received. Until he repudiates some of those leaders chosen by capitalistic America he will pay more. We as an entity have a wonderful organization but its leaders have proven incapable of understanding much less of carrying out the task which the new era presents to him.

SPORTS BY ERNEST BYNUM NECESSITY Y In Here." looking oye- the Athletes southern Cali- cia, we find ette, the man who has been a thorn in every heavyweights side" for years past. Joe puts it on Carpentier in 15 rounds, with Jeanette winning over him at his age. how can anyone put up a $175,000 purse for Carpentier to box the champion. Having seen Dempsey in action on several occassions we find that he has what it takes to make a champion, which is a punch, gameness, nerve and confidence. Dempsey depends on that punch, which will in due time fall, when he meets a real clever man, so if Jack ever loses his head, and steps around the line, he had better walk around the one Harry Wills if he don't want crepe hung on the white heavyweight doors the next morning. Wills is clever has the punch, game and has plenty of confidence, going Dempsey one better. BY WM . M. WATSON Through a misunderstanding and the absence on a vacation of Mr. W. W. A. Stilwell, manager and director of the Y. W. C. A. Athletic Field at 2834 Stephenson Avenue, two organizations, one white and the other colored were booked to use the grounds upon the same date. Labor Day, last Monday. The writer journeyed out, and was very courteously shown the date book bearing out these facts, also two tennis courts were reserved and were not used by the whites until afternoon when the colored players failed to show up, having hurriedly re-arranged their plans Saturday: they decided that it would be best for all concerned to hold their matches at the Alpha Courts, where they were doubtless better off after all things were considered. As it was, the matches were pulled off in ship shape. In the men's doubles Broyles and Oliver ran thru that bunch of racket peddlers like cattle through a garden. Nobody seemed to be able to stop 'em. They didn't lose a set, and won 36 out of 53 games played;—hurry Bal. Paul Williams, we fear these birds are becoming incorrigible. it has become a habit, they have copped the championship twice, now—1918 and 1919. In the mixed doubles, Mrs. Henry Young and Joe Oliver galloped rough shot over Mrs. Wm. Allen and Wendell Gladden. 6-1, 6-1 and were "rearing to go" into the finals against Lottie Bolds and Al Matthews, but were halted by darkness as were the third and fourth rounds of the men's singles, and will be finished at 1 p. m. Sunday. September 7th. In the Women's doubles Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Kansas Worz both without recent training showed great gameness against the two champions, Mr. Hill. Mrs. Wm. M. Dunn. Miss Dr. Watkins and a ship-load of others piped us off. Summary skids were shoved under Bain and Arthur Will.

In looking over the Athletes of Southern California, we find that they are few and far between, but you can't blame them, for the general public is not interested in out-door sports. Up to the present date the only sport we have under the heading of In looking over the Athletes of Southern Cali formla, we find that they are few and far between, but you can't blame them, for the general public is not interested in out-door sports. Up to the present date the only sport we have under the heading of Athletics, is Tennis. Now, what is the matter with the people in this part of the State? If you mention a Dance, they are there like mosquitos in a swamp, but just say something about an Athletic meet, and you will have to look for them with a telescope. The Carribean Cricket club, will try and interest the public in Cricket as soon as the rest of their implements arrive from the East, we hope that they will meet with great success, for they have a hard task before them. Baseball is a sport that can take care of itself, providing that the manager has men on his team that are interested in baseball and can play, and not a bunch of models who have but one thought, running thru domes, which is, who can snake that "Shimmy" the best Take swimming for an instance there is the Y. M. C. A. where you can go any time you wish, and is as reasonable as anyone could expect, $5.00 a year and you have the use of the entire place as well as the plunge with four instructors, there is a plunge at expo. park that can be used, also the City plunge on Vignes Ave. which is in the best sanitary condition. When you speak of a field meet, that is when you start speaking Chinese, no one understands what you are talking about, you can't even write it. you take the average lad today, put him in a 200 yard dash, he might struggle to the finish. if he does he sounds like a steam train going up hill, don't enter him in a broad jump for he has lead in his shoes, at that it is not his fault, it fs yours. The public should support anything pertaining to outdoor sports, it makes a clean sport for everyone, and you can find no better way to strengthen the race than by making healthy men and women, as sure as a duck is to go barefooted, the first thing the present day lad thinks of, as soon as he is knee high to a grasshopper, is to play detective in a pool room spotting balis, unless you encourage the coming generation, in physical culture and outdoor sports, you will be weakening the race far below par. BOXING BOXING Carpentier Hurls Challenge at Jack Dempsey. Can you imagine two boxers being offered $175.00 for a bout to be held somewhere in England. 'Gahlee' The thoughts of it should give you a nagache, weil that is what Jack Kearns' manager of Jack Dempsey, the present heavyweight champion boxer just handed out, the other man in the deal is George Carpentier, the French champion. According to word received from Kearns, Dempsey's manager the challenge has been accepted, who would not accept an offer like that? I'd take some of that myself, the match will be an International affair and no doubt will be a big drawing card, but to our way of thinking it is difficult to see where the Frenchman has a look in. Unless Dempsey steps over the line, the sailing looks pretty good for some time to come. in looking over Carpenter's record, it is difficult to see where it is particularly impressive, Carpenter started out as a banty at the age 6-13, and in seven years time became a heavyweight, in 1914 he entered the war at the age of 20, and after 5 years of service he is now back into the ring. Whether he can regain his top form is a question that can only be answered by a ring contest, but to our way of thinking he never was much on the top form, in 1911 Harry Lewis, a welterweight, went 20 rounds with him and in 1912 Willie Lewis, another welterweight stayed 20 rounds. Frank Klaws an American middleweight won on a foul after 19 rounds of fighting, and a short time later Billy Papke the veteran middleweight knocked him out in 18 rounds, in 1914 Carpentier had trouble outpointing Gunboat Smith in 20 rounds. Then along comes grandpa Joe Jean- liams by Maloney and Dr. B. A. Jordan, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2; Bill Clark and Gladden robbed Rainey and Geo. Johnson of a chance, 6-4, 6-4; Phil Davis and Harris were snagged by champions Broyles and Oliver, 6-3, 6-2; Doc Jordan developed the "pip" defaulting with Maloney to Clark and Gladden; the Matthews brothers, Ray and little Al, were anoyed by Broyles and Oliver, 6-3, 6-2; Clark and Gladden were disarmed of championship hopes by the B and O combination also for 1919, 6-3, 6-4; Young and Lottie Bolds re-established themselves as champions of 1919 in a match with Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Wortz, 6-1, 6-0; Mrs. Young and Oliver extracted a match from Mrs. Wortz and Arthur Williams got upon the wrong side of the net when forcing Lottie Bolds and cute Al Matthews, 6-4, 11-9; Davis got away from Geo. Johnson, 3-6, 6-1, 7-5; a tretch Young and Miss Bolds. The feature of the day was the brilliant showing made by Wendell Gladden, the 18 year old "find," a member of the Omega Club. Gladden drove more balls at Phil Davis (the up-setter of champions) than Phil could catch in a basket, and won in a walk, 6-1; 6-4. Next Sunday it is up to Eddie Harris, Arthur Williams. Ray Matthews, Herbert Rainey and Gladden to maul each other in the third and final rounds, and they all look dangerous, so a large collection of fans will be on hand to see all the losers wallpopped in the dirt. Rainey of the Young Men's Alliance Club of Pasadena, may have some ruff stuff in reserve, who knows? Both Williams and Matthews are expected to kick up lots of disturbance, while Gladden and Harris will have strangle holds upon each There was no dance at Normandale, due to the twilight car service embargo, but will be held at a later date. A galaxy of feminine beauty mostly from the West Side, graced the place, while their husbands and other handsome Beaux Brummels stalked around displaying rare cuts in soon-fitting coats, and touch-me-not light trousers. Capt. Reynolds, Assemblyman F. M. Roberts, John Prowd, Mrs. Aerous little cottie tickled Clark until he lost to Williams, 6-2, 6-2; Bain attempted to eliminate Harris but failed, 6-0, 6-4; Davis threatened Gladden with fatal results, 6-1, 6-4; Heavy Ray Matthews carelessly fell upon and mashed Maloney, 6-1, 6-3, just as the "owl car" 8 p.m. rounded the curve and everybody but the 'umble scribe were allowed to board the same.

Admission Day, Tuesday September 9th, at 10 a.m. at the Alpha Courts there youthful athletes will open arguments in boys junior singles and doubles, girls junior singles and doubles and mixed doubles.
