AMERRY CHRISTMAS President Coolidge's message has been presented to Congress and to the country. It covers the field of national interests in a comprehensive way and gives satisfaction to those who like it and arouses criticism in part of those who don't. The document is carefully, if not craftily drawn, in view of the ensuing National election. The President in the head of his party, and is always supposed to keep one eye upon its political advantage, while watching the welfare of the nation with the other. This is allowable and expected. The fate of the Republican party is in the balance. Is Coolidge to be, or not to be the next candidate? He himself probably does not know. But no word will escape the presidential lips for the next twelve months which will not have this contingency in view. The New York Times believes that this reference to prohibition and his remarks on the Negro question had reference ulteriorly to his own self-sacrifice. However, this may be we find that these items are of greatest special importance to the Negro race. The President declares the conviction on the moral quality of the Eighteenth Amendment. One does not learn from this disclosure whether he is wet or dry by private conviction. But he does declare in terms unmistakable for the enforcement of the amendment because it is the law. His position is much broader than the moral question involved in prohibition. It strikes at the very vitals of lawlessness, of which violation of the Eighteenth Amendment is but a single form in which its brazen audacity asserts itself. These are his words—"Some people do not like the (18th) amendment, some do not like other parts of the Constitution, some do not like any of it; but for any of our inhabitants to observe such parts of the Constitution as they like, while disregarding others, is a doctrine that would break down all protection of life and property and destroy the American system of ordered government." President Coolidge is a man of even temperament and cool spirit. Like Tennyson's linnet, he is void of noble rage. One could wish that Theodore Roosevelt might have expressed the same sentiment with his dynamic personality and vehement righteousness. The President indulges in polite form of speech when he says that this practice would destroy order government. The case in the indicative, not the subjunctive mood. This widespread practice is destroying orderly government and is breaking down protection of it and property, Mississippi ed. to ignore the Fourteenth Amendment, while adhering to the rest of the Constitution: New York disregards the Eighteenth Amendment, but swears undevigating allegiance to the rest. They both equally undermine the government and bring our boasted institutions to no naught. America is the most lawless nation among civilized peoples. This nation flouts with impunity its own fundamental law. The President says that those entrusted with the management of the law ought not to violate it. This is a high and holy sentiment, expressed with sermonistic impatience. Mr. Coolidge would have said that any office holder found violating the prohibition law would be summarily dismissed. The nation would have approved the drastic pronouncement. Glowed hands will not do the work for the blind fist. Let the South head the wisdom of the President's wise words. Let the Wets head it. They are both underwing the foundation of free lawfulness. tions which they so fervently avow to uphold. But above all, let the Negro heed these words. He is the chief sufferer from violated law. He must uphold the Constitution in its integrity. He cannot pick out the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and insist upon their enforcement, while flagrantly violating the Eighteenth Amendment to appease his degraded appetite or to swell his evilly made fortune. The conscience of the nation must be aroused upon the moral integrity of the law. Massachusetts cannot point the finger at scorn at Georgia, nor the Negro at the white man. We all fall too far short of respect and reverence for law. The Negro should give the nation a model lesson in obedience to the Eighteenth Amendment. When the President engages to deal with the Negro question per se, he becomes more tenuous, less logical and less convincing. His reference is entirely well meant and kindly. The fact that he would step aside and mention the Negro in his annual message serves to bring the question before public attention. The general tendency is to let the issue pass by default. It is no longer considered good form to mention the Negro issue in public discussion. On more than one occasion, Mr. Coolidge has condescended, if it be a condescension to make reference to the disgraceful apple. For this he is due our racial thanks. We have been so far degraded in the public equation, that the smallest favor is thankfully received. If the President's reference to pohibition was a sermon, his mention of the Negro was in the nature of a prayer. But when all other modes of procedure fail, the prayer may be the last resort. The American people are besought to treat the Negro kindly, even fairly. The American people ought not to lynch the colored people for they will not hold them guiltless for lynching the helpless victim. There is no indication of declarative intention or affirmative purpose, but an appeal to conscience instead of to the law. It may be that this is the only form of appeal that the American people will hear in their stiff necked attitude of law defiance. Will they head a prayer, though it comes from the President of the United States? "Our duty to ourselves, under our claim that we are an enlightened people requires us to use all our power to protect them from the crime of lynching." These be heavily fraughted words. Though kindly intended, nevertheless, they are potential with untold mischief for the Negro race. I believe that this is the first time in the history of the government that the President of the United States has identified himself with one element of the American people, as contradistinguished from another. He is supposed to be President of all the people, and officially to make no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition. The Negro does not expect to be relieved from the crime of lynching as a supercilious duty that the white race owes him on the basis of racial difference, but because he is an American citizen entitled like the rest to the equal enforcement of the law. But after all, lynching is not wholly a racial evil. Although the Negro for the time and in certain localities bears the chief bristle of the heinous practice, yet white men, and even white women have fallen victim to the mobbler wrath. Since the record has been kept not a single year has passed that has not recorded white victims. As many as a hundred white men have been lynched in a single year. No remedy for lynching or for any other form of lawlessness is going to be effective where the Negro is singled out as the sole beneficiary. An such attempt is defeated at the start. The greatest defect of the Dyer Bill was that it became interpreted as a Negro measure. Lawlessness knows no race; the law should be color blind. An affective law against lynching would be of greater national advantage than all of the proposed legislation of the pre- ent session of Congress. But it must be nation-wide in its purpose and purpose. If Congress should pass an anti-lynching measure based on race, it could not be enforced. The President does not even suggest the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment, and if he did it would fall on deaf etrus and dead hearts, because the Negro is the male beneficiary. We want no class legislation for the simple reason that it would be futile. One lays down the President's message with a sense of gratitude for a well-meant, kindly word, but with the reflection that the race has sunk to the zero level in in the political equation. The President speaks without sny sense of political obligation. Whatever he does or says grows out of his own gratis, grace and goodness. We seem to have lost all power of demand, which the ballot confers. Let us reflect as to how long this political imbecility will continue. Will it still be so after the next administration, whether the present incumbent succeeds himself or no? It all depends upon the political agility of the race. If we use wisely the residue of political power which we now have, the next administration will regard the race as a worth while factor and not as a helpless mendicant. Let the political toxin for nineteen twenty-eight be—The full enforcement of the Constitution including the fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth amendments. Sesqui-Centennial Exposition Awards Howard University Gold Medal Washington, D. C., Dec. 20.—A letter has just been received by Emory B. Smith, alumnus and field secretary of Howard University, from the jury of awards of the Senqui-centennial exposition, notifying that the international jury of awards of the Senqui-Centennial Exposition has awarded H. Smith a gold medal for promoting the higher education of the Negro. The letter also stated that diploma of award was being prepared and will be ready the early part of the coming year. This marks the culmination of an endeavor on the part of Howard University to co-operate to the fullest extent in the promotion of the Senqui-Centennial Exposition. Among the visitors in the city in Dr. J. C. C. Owens, member of the Board of Directors of Western University, Kansas City, Kansas.

TWO STATESMEN: ONE WHITE, ONE BLACK TWO STATESMEN: ONE WHITE, ONE BLACK Champaign, Ill., Dec. 20.—As the late Senator William McKinley, senior senator from the State of Illinois, lowered into his final resting place here last Friday before an assemblage which included men and women nationally known in the civic, educational, political, and financial worlds of America, a bevy of colorful men joined the cortere, while amid the family and the chief mourners stood two more of the group. It was fitting that it should be so. These two faithful friends, "servitors," the daily papers called them, friends would have would have been a more accurate description, had perhaps a more intimate knowledge of and were closer to Senator McKinley than any other men dehpite the fact that this wonderful political figure and millionaire was surrounded by courtiers and satellites. One Charles J. Pickett, "the bronze diplomat," whom Senators from widely different sections have dubbed "the most useful" and who incidentally is one of the most influential attaches in the senate building, was the late solon's political and confidential adviser. No one who visited Senator McKinley's office and knew its inner workings ever doubted that fact, for despite the secretaries of whom there were half a dozen in title, the man who guided the office and whose opinions were sought on every important question, who though styled assistant was secretary in fact, was that same "brune" Charley. Though the senator was inhearsent "right" on the case question, having been born in the days of abolition and sleeped in its traditions by his parents, his well-known kindly spirit toward everything which affected the welfare of the Negro and the enslaved which a colored visitor always received at his office may in no way be attributed to Pickett. Walter Hineson Jonson, Captain Walter Colson, and numerous officers of political persecution can be said to the practical man which McKinley's office could always be depended upon for when a battle for members of the group was in prospect. Quet in his benefactions, scores of colored churches and numerous needy churches have received his help. Two boys in the University of Illinois and one in the Art Institute of Chicago are there now through his generosity. Pickett was the referee who seleted those worthy. The entire 8th Illinois reveres the legislator's memory. Pickett acting in his name through his intimate acquaintance with war department affairs gained during his service with the elite Secretary of War Weeks, made possible the federalization of the 8th when it was slated to be mustered out. That action saved colored national guard units to the service, and set a precedent which made possible later the induction of the 15th New York and other units. Pickett, who has been in the senate office building for twenty-five years formerly was confidential man to the late Senator Shepby M. Cullom of Illinois for seventeen years. When the senator died, Pickett it was who wound up his affairs. The public will probably never know all the good which this quiet efficient man has accomplished. He is said to have half a dozen officers awaiting his services among them both the junior senator and the senator-elect from Illinois. The other man whose grief attracted attention, does not concern the senator's personal attendant. He it was McKinley called for when stricken the cloaks fell gently on the coffin. Four thousand people stood bareheaded about the grave. The group of colored men bowed with sorrow all of whom had some personal attachment with the senator mingled with the white. It was as McKinley would have wished. Philander Smith to Celebrate Founding (By A. N. P.) Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 20.—The fifteenth anniversary of the foundation of Philander Smith College will be celebrated at the commencement exercises next June with the dedication of a $50,000 for new buildings. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 20—The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car orders made their appearance here last week before the United States Railway Mediation Board, asking the right to represent the more than 70,000 Pullman Porters in negotiations with the company. The public which has not been clear on the procedure of the Union gets a better conception of its status by this move. The Brotherhood so far has not had the right to officially represent the porters. It must show that more than five per cent of them are members of their organization and have requested them to so act. The Board took their appeal under advertisement and will investigate their claims to learn whether they actually have the right to speak for the Pullman workers. A Philly Sandolph and Donald Hickhams are said to have presented the claims of their organization. No advance news of their efforts, however, have been available.

Folks! Watch this Page for the Reports of the Decision and Results of the Fight between Doctor W. C. Gordon and the Los Angeles County Supervisors in the Federal Court. GORDON MANOR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1926 Two very serious handicaps confront any colored person who wants to buy a burial lot for his beloved dead. In the first place, the two major cemeteries, Rosedalle and Evergreen, have nearly exhausted their burial lots. So rapidly has Los Angeles grown that in the matter of cemeteries as in other great and commanding needs, provision has not kept pace with the demand in the second place, the case of L. A. Investment against Alfred Gary, which decided that a restrictive clause against occupancy by a colored person in a deed conveying land is valid, has been seized upon by the newer cemetery associations, as the method under which they can prevent the burial of colored bodies. Already litigation has arisen over such a claus in regard to the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, and soo, difficulty over the right to bury in lots owned, has been experienced by some folk already in Roosevelt Memorial Park. The inherent injustice of a restricion that forbids the burial of a colored body in a cemetery is too plain to need comment. The earth, is the common mother of us all, and when the ashes of human kind are once mingled again in the soil of her bosom, what can there be of colored distinction? It would seem that race prejudice would at least cease with the grave, but there are those who carry it even into the silent chamber of death, where the dead mingle again with the clay. These handicaps of course are serious and a practical and honorable way out has forced itself upon large numbers of our group. Fortunately, many who have been in the city for a long time, took time by the forelock and reserved t themselves burial plots so that they are not confronted with present difficulties. A great many have security of burial grounds for reason of their membership in fraternities or churches, which own cemeteries. But unfortunately, many have not made these necessary reservations, and cannot now make them for the reasons above indicated. The problem therefore presents not only a present difficulty, but one which would grow in the absence of adequate cemetery provisions to an embarrassing if not, alarming extent. The difficulty, however, has been met in an honorable way and in a manner which at once subdues race prejudice and meets the difficult problem of scarcity of burial lots. There was presented to the various churches and lodges, not long ago, the Paradise Cemetery project and many became familiar with it. The project includes the conversion of a beautiful parcel of ground about twelve miles from the heart of Los Angeles, into an elaborate burial ground. The project goes far enough to provide a beautiful ornamental fence; that the entire surface be sown in blue grass; that parks and driveways be immediately constructed; that a beautiful chapel be built, and that perpetual care be provided for without possibility of failure. The idea was at once conceived that this cemetery project should be put to the free and absolute disposal of our group, as a fraternal and religious cemetery. There was no racial organization owning or controlling a burial ground in Los Angeles County or in the State, so far as is known, and so, the Prince Hall Masonic Cemetery was formed, and at once set to work to convert the Paradise Cemetery project into a Masonic Cemetery; open to all religious and Fraternal bodies and members. The negotiations have been successfully completed. All of the plans for the laying out and beautifying of what was to have been Paradise Cemetery, have not only been adopted, but have been enlarged upon. The Cemetery; Prince Hall Masonic Cemetery, in offering to the public burial lots, plots and sections. The selling plan is very advantageous in that every church and organization is donated one free lot, for every lot sold. In this way the churches can later on dispose of these lots to members when occasion demands, and thus aid themselves in paying for Church property, and meeting building obligations. The plans of the cemetery have been enlarged so that they now include the erection of a life sized statue and monument of Prince Hall, who was the first race man in what are now the United States, to open, set up or establish a genuine fraternal organization among our group under a lawful warrant and charter. When one considers the enormous entail of such a project; the fact that the difficulties usually attendant upon the raising of funds for the purchase of land, and for necessary improvements have all been overcome; taken together with the liberal offer of one free lot to church and organization for every lot sold in conjunction with the substantial remuneration and the wide opportunity afforded individuals to act as selling agents; the project not only meets a great public necessity and demand, but is progressive and laudable as well. Offices of the Prince Hall Masonic Cemetery have been opened at 1102 East Adams Street in the Unity Finance Building. Telephone UHmholt 2056, and officers of the Association are now displaying the maps, and giving out literature and information.

Thus far we have not been so fortunate as to get the very intimate details and have gained only such information as that which is furnished by an article published in this issue on another page, which is available for all to read for themselves. WHAT CAUSED THE BOSTON TEA PARTY? The paramount duty of government officials is to keep taxes aa low as possible. Everybody knows about the Boston Tea Party and what it led to, in our colonial days. Everybody—every taxing official at least—ought to remember the folly of overtaxation, and the people ought to remember that they must pay for what they get. C. A. Dyer, legislative agent for Ohio farm bureaus and granges, in an address at an agricultural legislative conference, said in part:— "The taxpayer is the one to bring about relief. He can do it through his own efforts and through organization. The greatest part of the taxes are used locally. The taxpayer has the opportunity of attending local meetings where local budgets are reviewed, and of fighting extravagance through such organizations as the farm bureau and grange." If more interest were taken in local meetings where tax budgets are reviewed, taxing officials would not be so liable to add extra tax burdens.—Lima, Ohio, Star. DAMAGING EFFECT OF SMOKE Gordon D. Rowe, chief smoke insplaces our financial loss in the Unite its effects, at $1,870,000,000. This to build a 12-inch paved road 50 feet Los Angeles, and bisect it with anot Orleans. In recommending efforts to cont it is a crime against coming generati Gordon D. Rowe, chief smoke inspector of Cincinnati, Ohio, places our financial loss in the United States, from smoke and its effects, at $1,870,000,000. This is enough money, he says, to build a 12-inch paved road 50 feet wide from New York to Los Angeles, and bisect it with another from Chicago to New Orleans. In recommending efforts to control smoke, Mr. Rowe says it is a crime against coming generations to burn coal in the raw state. There are only two ways to burn it economically and smokeleasily; pulverize or gasify. He believes that when the real market value of gas and its by-products is correctly understood, the prodigious daily waste of our valuable natural resources will stop. It would be a very grave mistake for legislators to reduce and limit the cars in a train, as railroad labor organizations are planning to have them do. The first and inevitable effect of such legislations would be demoralization of the service with an increase in operating costs that would inevitably increase rates. The United States has the largest commerce, the lowest rates, the best service and the highest paid railroad labor of any country in the world. This is due to the fact that by purchasing larger locomotives and hauling longer trains the railroads have been able to continue payment of the growing demands of shippers, without increasing rates. This has been accomplished in the face of greatly increased cost of labor, material and supplies and increased taxes. Statistics show that injuries to employees are being reduced, increased needs of shippers are being better accommodated, traffic is being moved in larger volume and with greater regularity and speed, the railroads have passed few of their burdens arising from increased wages and cost of supplies to the shipyard but have overcome them by increased efficiency; all of which warns against legislation restricting and hampering efficient operation. Train limit schemes have but one objective—more jobs, and more jobs mean increased cost and decreased efficiency. YEAR'S DAY The membership of the Y. M. C. A. will hold open house at the New Building, New Year's Day from 1 to 8 P. M., at which all citizens are invited to attend. OTHERS WHO WILL HOLD OPEN HOUSE Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Warner, North Figueroa Street. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Sanders, 1368 East 20th Street. EUGENE SORRAL EXHONERATED Judge Samuel W. Blake, on last week, after a very careful survey of the evidence at the preliminary hearing of Eugene Sorral, charged with suspicion of manslaughter, when his automobile hit another machine with fatal results for two occupants, gave an opinion which exhonorated Mr. Sorral and dismissed the case against him. Th emany friends of Mr. Sorral were indeed much pleased to learn of the decision and showered Gene with congratulations. Mr. Sorral was represented at the preliminary trial by Attorney Towson S Grasty Tragic Passing Of Dr. Lucien McMahan On last Saturday evening, while crossing the street near 16th and Central Avenue, Lucien McMahan graduate registered pharmacist, was struck by an automobile driven by a woman and sustained injuries from which he never regained consciousness and passed away at the hospital on last Wednesday night. Mr. McMahan was about 58 years of age, a quiet disposition and well liked by all who knew him. For the past several years he has filled positions as pharmacist in many of our local drug stores His native home was in Calloway County, Mo. His parents were of the foremost and highly respected citizenship of that commonwealth. Many years ago Lucien came to Denver Coloradó, where he engaged in business and was highly successful, owning there the leading drug store in that city. Later on he found his way to California, living at San Diego, and later moving to this city. This writer has known the deceased intimately and well for forty years, and can testify to his loyalty to a friend and his honest and upright life. He was a member of Golden West Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of W. of this city, which body will have charge of the funeral rites held today. He leaves a sister in California, Mrs. W. D. Carter, of Pasadena, other sisters, near relatives, and a host* of friends who mourn his passing. Captain Glenn To Retire It is a general rumor that Captain of Detectives, W. A. Glenn has asked for and will be permitted to retire on January 1, 1627. If such report proves to be true, Los Angeles will lose the services of a very valuable man who has made an enviable record as a peace officer during the past quarter of a century. The Captain has been eligible for retirement for some years but his love for duty has kept him at his post. Cards are out announcing the 80th marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

JONES, Pastor Christ Temple "The Lord preserveth the strangers; "He relieveth the fatterless and the widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down." Ps. 146:9 At this season we celebrate the greatest mystery of the ages, the birth of the Son of God into the world, the incarnation of the God-head God manifest in the flesh. Wonder of wonders He came to us emptied of divine might and glory, appealing to us with the sweet eyes and lips of a helpless babe, needing our ministration, yet protected by all heaven and full of eternal an unconquerable possibilities. In this He was a type, a picture, a representation of His religion He gives to men. They must sustain it, yet it sustains them. He and His religion were God's gift to men. Christmas was designed to celebrate that gift. It is a time of goodwill and generous, happy giving, and there are such a time. OW. IT WORKS But we are concerned with how the religion of Jesus works. He comes to us as our Lord and our God. What does He do for us? 1. He preserveth the strangers. To the Jew that meant any foreigner, any person not of their own family, race or nation, whether such lived among them or was far away. It was the spirit of good-will toward men expressing itself in religious sentiment. It was the admission of God's love and care for those not your own. Strangers—the other fellow—i.e. alien—the one you are inclined to regard with indifference, even with scorn. Christ is for him too. Christmas is also his time of hope and joy and peace and goodwill. Jehovah, the Lord, preserveth the strangers. And do you know He has a special care for the stranger within our gates, and also for us when we are strangers within the gates of others. He preserveth the stranger. I wish I had time to say more about it. 2. He relieveth the fatherless and the widows. In these days the widow is not so badly off as formerly, but even I knew the day when the widow's let was a destitute and lonely one. But the fatherless are always lonely, even though they be rich, and who can describe the unhappy lot of the poor and destitute child wha has no father? These are God's special care. To relieve them is His delight. He makes it His business. O the spirit to scorn and kick and suspect and scold and abuse, the poor and the distressed, that is the spirit of hell, it is the devil's own way. But to help the needy, to care for the perishing, to relieve the burdened, the friendless, the helpless, the uncared for, that is the spirit of the Christ, that is the way of God, the delight of heaven. "I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, sick and ye visited me, in prison and ye 'came unto me, hungry and ye fed me, thirsty and ye gave me drink." When, Lord? When ye did the same to the least of these my brethren. Ah, the Blessed Babe of Bethlehem, He is spiritual brother to all who are born again; but in assuming over flesh and our infirmities He became brother to all mankind. He is good to all. He cares for all. 3. How He does it. How does the Savior carry out His will to help? How does He relieve the fatherless and the widow and preserve the stranger? Yes, the angels help, the stars in their courses help. He has seen forces that work for us. But practically it is done by those who believe in Him and love Him. Through those to whom He makes known His will and gives His mind; whom He endues and fills with Himself. From the Father of light comes all good. Even the good that irreligious people do is the indirect influence of the life of the Christ, the Goodness, the manifestation, the salvation of God. But to you and me—is the lesson. We serve Him by serving those He loves, those who are His special care. The good deed to others, that's the real test of religion, the delight of God, the perfecter of our faith, the beautifier of the soul, the embellisher of the character, Amen. 4. The way of the wicked He turneth upside down, His way with the wicked. Many souls will be made happy this Christmas season, many lives will be lightened, many will rejoice in time to come for what the spirit of Jesus has done 'or them. But the wicked, those whose mouths are full of cursing, and bitterness whose hearts are full of evy and hatred, who delight but in lust and drunkenness, whose lives are as foul with sin as a wolf's den, whose sins are written in their forehead and look dull and sullen out of their eyes, who delight in the way of the forward and hate the house of God, whom the Lord's day is but another day to rob and lie, and steal and threaten and fight and kill—what of them? The rod is for the fool's back. The jail, the pistol, the knife, the billie the brass knucks, curses, scowls kicks, dishonor, disgrace—all these this Christmas will bring to them. There is no excuse for wickedness. We were born to it. Yes. But we have been redeemed out of it. Light is come into the world. There shines the Star of Bethlehem, the Star of the East, and all the stars of heaven join the chorus of redemption and cry Amen. The Day Star has arisen. The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. Peace and Goodwill have come to men. Amen. ```markdown ``` THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN THE STORIES OF THE WESTERN STATE MILITARY ACADEMY This Beautiful Establishment is Fully Equipped and Modern in every Respect.

THAT "BULLET "GOT IT FIX Just a single, but it did the work Sunday at the White Sox Baseball Park when Bullet Rogan became the man of the hour and rapped out a single sacker. The bases full and the score hopelessly tied in the eleventh inning, darkness's approaching and Pirrone's All Stars making a desperate struggle to hold the Philadelphia Royal Giants down till they would get to bat again. This was only one of the many times the great Rogan has acted as pinch hitter in his baseball career but never at a more critical time or to such prolonged cheeing from the fans. At it was too late to play the scheduled double-header, two games will be played on Christmas day.

Everyone is privileged and invited to write or bring to the Sports Editor of this paper what he or she considers a logical All-City Team. At the end of the season we will attempt to bring together a Conference of Coaches to pick an official team. Below is one reader's suggestion for this week: week R. E. I. Sallabury, (R. W.) R. T. Rosser (N. N. B.) R. G. Carroser (Wil. O) C. Tallie Terry (N. M.) L. G. H. Brown, (N. N. B.) L. T. O. Drisdim (LAP.) L. E. C. Jones (LAP.) Q. “Red” Bryant (M. M.) R. H. B. Jackson (LAP.) L. H. W. Townes (N. N. B.) F. B. Smith (R. W.) RED GRANGE HEADED THIS WAY Chicago, Ill. The season's final, played before 10,000 fans at Conklinkey park, was one of the best games seen this year on a local gridiron. Red and his gang finally won out over the Chicago Bulls, 7 to 3, for three periods neither team threatened the other's goal. Red himself furnished one of the thrills of the game when he intercepted a forward pass and scored 23 yards before he was down. Another feature came when Larry Marks, former Indiana captain, scored 42 yards for the only touch-down of the game. UPPERCUTS AND BLOCKS By: HARRY LEVETTE Why is it so natural for us to make new recolutions on New Year's? It appears that any old time would do at any old day and hour of the old year. Yet we wait until the tragic hour, when the clock strikes 12 natural for us to make new resolutions on New Year's? It appears that any old time 'would do at any old day and hour of the old year. Yet we wait until the tragic hour, when the clock strikes 12 on the last day Harry Levette of December, to solemnly promise and swear to a lot of things. Which promises we keep just about as long as a snowball would last in Hades. But we continue to make them each year so here goes this writer with a few for 1927. RESOLVED: That we will not argue or swear at the pressmen, linotypers, cut boys, stenogs, lithographers, janitor, and the office cat when the stuff we write may happen to have a misprint or two. 00- RESOLVED: That when the trusty "oil can" breaks down while speeding to a prize fight, ball game, tennis game, swim meet, chitterling supper or a love match, that we will not call down curses on the head of poor Henry Ford. 00- RESOLVED: That we will not refuse any cigars that happen to be passing around on New Year's day, nor any invitations to Turkey or eggnog. 00- RESOLVED: That the girls of Los Angeles are the finest, sweetest, prettiest and peppiest in the world, but we will at present refrain from taking on another household "sparring partner." RESOLVED: That we will always take an uppercut at false friendship, double-crossing, and crooked sport, and block any one who takes a smash at us for telling the truth. RESOLVED: That the men who operate the Main St. gym and A. C. the Manhattan Gym, the Olympic Auditorium, Hollywood Stadium, Culver City A. C., and Vernon Arena, as well as the men on our able Boxing Commission shall have their names placed on the roll of honor as men who are helping make California the best place in the world for the great game of boxing. RESOLVED: That we will continue to make the Sport Section Section of the "Soaring Eagle" better and better, upholding its policies and increasing its service to our "gentle readers." So since by the time you see "Upper Cuts and Blacks" again, "Kid 1927" will be in the ring, we wish you one and all a wonderful New Year and hope you spend as many more as Methusalah—Selah! (!) With the Hollywood A. C. quintet slashing with S. C. Thursday, Stanford Monday, and the Oregon Aggies, Tuesday, interest in the now thoroughly launched basket ball season is rapidly increasing, olllywood grabbed off a lot of rep ever since winning decisively over Occidental and Southern Branch, but they are now up against three of the best teams in the Coast Conference. With Keenauy Gortha and Mona they have a pre-offence and their defenses if equal will leave them nothing to fear. EDITED BY HARRY LEVETTE A CHARLEY FADDOCK The World's Fastest Human.

Examiner Charlie Paddock Still Holding Down The Cinder Path Although his record has been beaten by other runners, Charlie Paddock the great sprinter is still called the world's fastest human. Merrymakers 7; Wilshire Olympic Club 7 On Sunday afternoon, December 12th on Ross Snyder Field the football team of the Wilshire Olympic and the Merrymakers, two of the outstanding clubs of the city, played to a 7-7 tie before one of the largest crowds of the season. The fast Merrymakers aggregation were conceded two touch downs better than their ancient rivals. Nevertheless it would have been a different score had it not been for this: Late in the third period with the Merrymakers in possession of the ball on their own 35 yards line Everett's stellar back fumbled, Echols who played a whale of a game for W. O. C. recovered and ran for atouch down carrying two tacklers with him but referee. Riddle called the ball back and penalized the M. M. Club five yards for off-side. It was a good game anyway, just to see the little, red-headed quarter-back of the Merrymakers their outstanding player run the ends. Carlaris arrived at Tijuana this week. He came dow nfrom Pleasonton, where he has been careful prepared for another winter campaign. The husky son of Pharilas looked like another Man of War in his series of successes down yonder a year ago. He topped off a sensational string of victories by covering a mile and a quarter of Mexican terrain in the astounding time of 2:02.6 to ne this owner $70,700 in the Coffroth, the richest purse in the history of the turf. THE At last the California fans who have been reading and hearing of the wonderful French Tennis Star, Suzanne Leaglen will have a chance to see her in action. At the Olympic Auditorium on December 28th to a probable S. R. O. crowd the brilliant girl athlete who has held the world's tennis championship so long will flash across the courts in a match with her closest rival, the California star, Mary Browne. *Interest is at fever heat among tennis circles and many clubs will attend in a body as all are anxious to be present, in case the rapidly improving native daughter should beat the hard-driving, rapid-playing Suzanne. The French champion has only been able to keep just one jump ahead of her opponent all through Clarabelle Barret, Champ mer Also CLARA BELL BARRY Photo by courtesy L. A. Examiner were predicted for him in the big Eastern fixtures. Carlarius proved a big disappointment, but he followed the victory at the border, he failed to reveal anything like his Tajuana form in four or five starts. Main St. A. C. Holds Last Show Before Holidays At the Main St. A. C. last Saturday a suitable wind-up of the season was given in a show which was even better than the always good shows that Carlo Curtis and his side-icks put on. The verdict by referee Johnny Schiff in the main boat was far from popular, in which he declared a draw between Bunny Turrel and the fuzzy George's lopes. Pete Pacheco boat Maxima Lennell, Fred Alkir defeated Tony Archer and Tony Soltos won over Diana Solis in the curtain rage. --- the tour of the famous Pyle's troupe. When they started the tour, October 9, Mile. Lengen had little trouble in defeating the California star. The farther west they came the better Mary Browne showed. At Portland a sensation was caused in tennis circles when the California girl carried the French star to 20 games, losing the set, 11-9. While Suzanne Lengen, greatest woman tennis payer of all time, is lolling on the sun-kissed sands of Coronado, Mary K. Browne, who will be her opponent at the Olympic Auditorium Tuesday evening, December 23, is putting in many hours of practice on the Santa Monica courts. Miss Browne feels that her lucky star is in the ascendancy and that she will defeat the great French player when they meet at the auditorium. Though it hardly seems necessary with the universal fame she has won as a swimmer Clara Baret, the great mermaid who claims the world's championship in endurance and long distance swimming is shirring a couple of songs in her act at the Hill Street Theatre this week. She is the school teacher from Pellham, N. Y. who sprang into fame last August in her heroic attempt in the great English Channel. Starting at 7:50 in the morning from the English side she swam for 21 hours, continuously, covering nearly twice the distance on account of tides, and losing her way in the fog. Her total swim was over 40 miles, but after all she had to give up within a mile and a half of the coast of France.

OUR OWN JULIAETTE MISSES BIG CHANCE TO PLAY HUGE CROWD SEES A GREAT FIGHT SPOILED We don't know and don't care how any one els asw that important fight between Young Harry Wills and Harry "Kid" Brown on Tuesday, December 21st, but what we saw was a sure win for Wills if it had not been for that unlucky low blow in the first 1½ minutes of the 6th round. He took the 1st with a gallop, the second was even, and he kept ahead in all the others until it came to its sudden teruil the fight came to its sudden termination in the 6th when after driving Brown to the ropes in Will's corner with hard left hooks and right swings to the head he shot, a long right intended for Brown's body and the blow went low. It all happened so suddenly that only the ringside realized the fight was over for a minute. Brown was not hurt and bounced around the ring bowing and shakng hands with the new-made friends he has gained by his second decision over a star colored boxer in the month and all in the city. It was a great fight while it lasted, both fighters leaping into the fray at the first bell. Wills landed the first blow a right to jaw and left to head took a left to head and right to body from Brown, then shot a shower of rights and lefts to head and body, outfighting Brown. From on the boys fought furiously both determined to win and both committing little breaks in ring etiquette and being warned by the referee. In the fourth and fifth Wills had Brown holding from his damaging body attacks which he kept up in every clinch. The breaks seem to be against Wills here as the boy is willing and square, wouldn't foul any one intentionally and he attested the fact that he is good, faster than Brown and a harder puncher. The other bout of the 10-round double wind-up saw Newsboy Brown get the decision over Young Nationalista in a rattling mill where the two little rivals fought like demons at times dropping science and slugging toe to toe. Nationalista is fast and clever; Brown has a terrific kick in both mitts and is accurate and careful with his blows. Baby Gans is said to have promised to make up for his loss to Harry "Kid" Brown at Jack Deyle's Vernon Arena on the 14th by taking it out on Pete Daley next Tuesday night in the same historic fight factory. Daley is the Freep top-notcher who in Moose Taussig's camp is considered as the best lightweight among the native sons of the "oggy city. He beat Larry Murphy in every round last week. Gans is training hard at the Main St. Club every day and will be in his usual shape. His eyes weakened by an infected tooth could not stand the strong glare of ring lights in his match with Brown and smiled his fight. Mack House, the California Bear, who has provoked a knock-out king is reported to have been slated to box in the senti-windup against some good boy. The usual record crowd that turns out at Vernon for the mixed battles will see the bouts. It was stated on this page some time back that Juliaette Harris, our great colored Tennis Star would be Lacked by the Eagle to play against some member of the Suzanne Lenglen tennis troupe. Well, we were not joking. We really took steps to have her appear on the program. After a consultation with the Mr. Pickens and Mr. Andrews at the Olympic, Monday, when the final decision was to be given it was reported by Mr. Pickens that owing to the fact that no local players would be used it would be impossible to give her a chance at this time. But he assured us that at some future time she shall have the opportunity to wield her racquet across the nets against sine of the white stars. THE BOXING CLUB GENE TUNNEY Heavyweight champion of the World Gene Tunney Starts The New Year A World Champion Gene Tunney performed the year's biggest dethronement, by beating Jack Dempsey fir the heavyweight championship of the world. At the beginning of the New Year his title seems in no danger from the present crop of heav es. top honors and a $500 purse hang up by the promoters, in addition to $100 side bets posted by each of the contending drivers.

SUZANNE LENGLEN Who will play a match at the Olympic Stadium, December 28th with Mary Browne. Well Folks, how do you like that name for a column heading? Who suggested it? If you will listen carefully I will tell you. It was none other than Mr. Harry Levette, Sports Editor of this paper. Now that that's over will see what the girls are doing. By the way, from what I hear, I don't think we're going to have room enough in the paper to keep up with what these girls are going to. Some of the Eastside girls have formed a team known as The Eastside Girls Baseball Team, and are cager for competition in baseball. These energetic ones are the misses Ramelle Laqueo, Geraldine Webster, Genevieve Hawkins, Marjorie Baine, Mayme Dunn, Albertine Oliver, Webbie Johnson, Mercedees Wright, Lillie Brodie, Ollie Mac Collins, Dorline Whaley. The members of the Dodecagenian Art Club have answered the challenge of these girls. They say the fact that they are interested in Art, a mental study, is no sign that they have no time to exercise physically and to prove it are organizing both a baseball team and several tennis teams. Players in this group consist of the missas Pearlita Johnson, Jessie Mae Nickerson, Quincella Nickerson, Jones Moore, Velma White, Irma Jones, Alicia Allen, Armine Benton, Irene Marvin, Marguerite Robinson, Gladys Mathonican. Good athletic entertainments are expected of these groups. Just a word to remind you that the Westside Girls Football Team still desires to challenge a similar group of girls in football. The Girl Reserve Basketball teams are getting ready for some good, hard, earnest practice and are going to sur- prise you soon with the date of their first game. **** Any club wishing to challenge another club may easily do so by writing editor of this column in care of California Eagle, 847 Central Ave. Dust from the Campus By: TOMMY MYLES As the Yuletide nears and "Peace on earth, good-will to men" becomes the motto of our fair co-eds and the eds are hustling around to earn the necessary finance to make their peace a more contented one.

"BABY" DOROTHY WILLIAMS INTERESTS EASTERN SHOW PRODUCERS A little 18-year old girl, Dorothy Williams, living with her mother, sisters and brothers, at 1229 Birch, has by her excellent work as a singer and dancer, attracted the attention of some of Chicago's and New York's booking offices. Several letters have come to the Eagle office inquiring about her partly through frequent mention, made of her in this publication, and through her work being noticed by visitors from the East. It has been a pleasure to give them the desired information, for she is a sincere, earnest little performer who will some day make a name for herself in the Theatrical World. In less than a year's start, through a natural talent and close study, she has equaled the work of those with years of stage experience. She has a natural grace, pretty figure and pretty expressive features. This, with a sweet disposition and earnestness, will carry her rapidly along the road to stardom, such as Florence Mills and other race, girls enjoy. Her picture in dance poses will be published in our special New Year's edition. Jack Kearns is coming to town. Lucky Jack! Loses one champ; gets another.

Lou Daro loaned his wrestler, Kot sonaros, Prof. Nitta his world famed jin jitu-experts and a vaudeville bill to Victor Hermann's jozy band rounded out the variety of the benefit. Famous old timers such Jim Jeffries, Billy Papke, Frank Moran, Ad. Wolgast, Spike Robinson, and Tommy Eyan were present.
