QUIT REAL ESTATE MEETING IN A BOD Scheming Preachers and Labor Agents Getting Rich Off New Comers We are not in the employment business, but those wishing to locate in smaller towns with fairly good wages who will have a chance to bring their children up with the best of education will kindly get in touch with the Chicago Urban League, 3719 State street, this city. They are in need of men. They are in position for firms to seek them as they have a reputation. They are in this line of work for the better-known men and not to rob the other of his wife. ...Lay...but not least: Quit calling the voreman "boss." Leave that word dropped in the Ohio river. Also captain, general and major. We call people up here, Mister This or Mister That. When your payday comes, take it on home. Depend on your work to keep you in a job and not the dollar or two you have been used to slipped the foreman. Cut that out. If you are working for $18, keep it. Your employer pays the foreman much more than you, and if he has got to graft let him go to the employer. If you can't stay because you don't pay, quit and go somewhere else, or go in person to your employer and come to the job, you will be better off than you do. When you get among white workmen, treat them as you want them to treat you—AS A MAN—not as his in-forer. Keep your hand off your in-forer when you pass men in and around the shop or plant. There is no law that requires you to tip your hat to a man because he is white.

At the Hahneman hospital it was found only injuries he sustained were lacerations of the scalp and an injured shoulder. Ignore the Defender's Warnin Get Roiled Up Knowing full well the attitude of the white real estate dealers who are on the Chicago real estate board, and ignoring the Warning issued in last week's Chicago Defender to stay away from the meeting altogether, a few ventured out to go down to the meeting Monday, and finally left in disarray. No one had to go down to the White-Barnett had been hooted by the white women. It is a pity that our supposedly educated people don't learn something. The board knew that it was a miserable situation, but we were shrewd enough to know that the likely given them by the white papers would aid them to bring about an agitation that they desired. The warning had no effect on some. Instead, some were told to the first meeting, and who, for a moment by the white press, made their way down. The meeting ended in discord, as we expected. The Cause Every citizen has a legal right to buy where he or she chooses, and wherever they elect. The whole trouble seems to be brought about by Eugene Manns, who knows with Robert S. Winston, Mann's known leader, about the real estate business, according to others of his Race in that business. He is personal gain, wanted to bring about this segregated idea because he figures he will be able to get hold of certain buildings now occupied by whites and the building's thousand dollars in rent. At the first meeting Manns was not on the committee. Faulkner and Jackson were put there because L. M. Smith (white) thought they could buy. PATRIOTISM, LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TO U.S. The official number of accepted recruits for the four weekend April 15, 1917, of all the regular United States army recruiting stations in Chicago, about twelve and men, has been published as 560 recruits, and published as 560 recruits. Three million American citizens gave this number to the army during the first pass and the service of enlisting in the government thousands of dollars. But let us compare the foregoing with the work of our own Eighth Regiment. We notice of the loyalty of Colored American civilians in contrast, with a half chance to live, how they are accepting the whole chance. Then in the final reckoning, will America secure the full measure or reward, since they are now giving the fullest measure of devotion. With but three recruiting stations and a field of about 5,000 armed people to recruit from, the Eighth Regiment twenty-five men daily, or four more daily than all the United States recruiting to the city combined. Capt. Leonard C. Washburn, chief recruiter officer for war, aibly assisted by Sergeant First Class Louis C. Washburn of the medical department, who is in charge of a corps of curtseers, will soon have a corps up to war strength of 2,000 men. Philadelphia, Pa.

Man had in the meantime slipped away seen Smith, informing him that Jacki couldn't real estate owner and Faulk couldn't. Manns was on the committee, although he appointed the open meetings. A. L. Cook on the Y. M. C. A. suggested Dr. Hall on real estate man on the committee. Known doctor's stand, the did not want him. The downtown papers have dov George Jackson harm in misquoting they have made him say juj what Mr. Jackson showed him contempt for the war, were being handled by fairly refusing the second meeting. Jesse Binga on Johnson, Torrell, DePrist, Watkins is another member of the Race refused't Jesse Binga Talks A Chicago Defender reporter called a Cause Binga, banker and real estate dealer. He asked a opinion on the question, Mr. Binga said. "At this time, when the black man' and the white men are asked to do their crime, nothing less than a crime' against government for real estate men of the charitable neighborhood, some of those who met at the request of A. Smith at the Chicago real estate banker an agitation on Race segregation, does not encourage men to leave their families subject to designing programs and families subject to designing race hatred in neighborhood, where 25 per cent of the city's residents of the city of Chicago reside. It would not those who are in any way affected by this move to consult their lawyers, for there is justice in the state of Illinois." The reporter also called on Walter Anderson, a corral but found that they had taken the business as had Mr. Binga, and stayed Away. So H. A. Watkins, 1510 Indiana avenue had H. A. Watkins, 1510 Indiana avenue. He said that the business was an effort to eliminate the Race in the real estate business. He had not been, nor never would be a business, even suggest discrimination or segregation. It is a false and illegal move. M. C. B. Mason of the firm of Faulkner & Cook, said: "Our firm stands firmly upon the segregation, as such, is a thing which we must line up against, even if we have to lose money by so doing." He represented Alderman for the real estate department. He refused to tend any of the meetings, although he been called up several times over the phone by Mr. McDreist, as well as Mr. Riley. It was a bad proposition. Manna called in person and tried to line up for sitting, but was given the gold shoulder. Should Be Run Out of Town A man that will cause his Race all this trouble, or even attempt to segregate them, for the mere sum of a dollar out of town, and any business house he could should be shunned. Those who are not satisfied with living free should go, back segregation reigns supreme. As far as the officers of the Race are concerned, they through, but those who want a bit of free advertising may again meet the VIOLINIST KILLED Cleveland, Ohio, April 20.—An auto- driver was driving a volleyball, volli- nette, 660 East 152nd street, East Washington was riding with several companions at a street car at the junction of E. 152nd street and Avenue avenue Sunday night, fully injuring him.

LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT,SMOOTH AND GLOSSY Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a reg. pharmacist of over 25 years, expertise this is a guarantee that QUINADE is near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care and nothing enters this high class separation unless it is of the highest purity.

Jackson's Great Speech Which Won for Him His Film Bill Goes on Record as Doing Something for the Race; Lucas' Speech on Constitutional Convention Which Brought Applause In last week's issue on page 1 the Chicago Defender carried a story which all the people in this great state were glad to see. It read as follows: "Jackson Bill Passed.—Springfield, Ill., April 13.—The Jackson film bill passed senate, 33 to 8. Bill prohibits such films as 'Birth of a Nation' from showing." This bill will become a law as soon as Governor Lowden puts his signature to it. Major Robert R. Jackson, head of the uniform rank Knights of Pythias, major of First Battalion, Eighth Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard, Mason, Odd Fellow and prominent worker in the state legislature in the interest of our race, is sponsor for this bill. It passed the house of representatives on March 22 after a speech in its behalf by the honorable gentleman. Wednesday, April 11, it went to the senate and there became a law. Benj. Lucas, another representative, but from the First district, spoke in favor of the constitutional amendment, which we also quote below to give our readers the exact account of what was said by these two men and what is now a part of the record of the legislature of the state of Illinois: Jackson's Masterful Fight Mr. Jackson—I desire to call up house bill No. 27 on the order or third reading. Mr. Jackson—Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the house: This bill was before the house two years ago and passed by the magnificent vote of 114 "years" and the final vote of 114 "years" in the complexion of our Senate two years ago, and many of us have knowledge of the fact, the bill failed by one vote of the senate. Many bills of merit met the peculiar political conditions there. This bill seeks to prevent the showing of moving pictures of the burning or burning of a human being. I can hardly imagine a house is in favor of such a class of pictures. I do not intend to take up the time of the house this morning with the viciousness of this particular class of pictures, there are a few thoughts expressed by the best people of the United States, of our state and our county touching upon the viciousness of this particular class of pictures. That I may not be misunderstood, I wish to say that I myself am a movie fan, I attend the moving picture theater, I watch the movies I also attend. I am not opposed to moving pictures. Rather I am a champion of their cause, but as to the viciousness of their cause, I am not class of pictures, to those pictures I am and that condition I want to correct. That I may interest you I want to society. I teach you to disobey the Chicago Tribune of very recent data which gives expression to this sentiment: "A motion picture may be bad for society. It teaches you to disobey the Chicago Tribune of very recent data for maudlin and sentimental reasons." Henry Haer, one of the great writers of Chicago, visiting a theater recently on Haisted street, furnished this sentimental "Recently I visited a moving picture show on Halsted street. Of all the children I saw, the most naked this was the most disgusting. It revealed a girl out of a position street soliciting near a cheap hotel. Then came a politician's office above a barroom, where everybody was drinking whiskey. It wound up with a murder and lynchings." The theater was full of children of all ages. Such pictures are not fit for adults to witness, much less children. The politician's sentiment when he announced at a meeting of the board of education that a plan should be presented to protect children from vicious moving pictures. Very recently in Aurora they had the same condition, where hundreds of children were moving picture theater by a longing for adventure and an opportunity to see it vividly enacted on the screen were from it this afternoon by policemen. Teachers had noticed that the boys and girls were absenting themselves in school, and were distracted of much questioning learned that on this day the absentees were undergoing thrills incident to the showing at a theater of a serial film which shounds in blood, battle and exploits in crime. Surely, gentlemen, you are not in favor of the school children of our country. The Chicago Daily News in speaking of the turpur white slavery—and I am sure that you are not in favor of them, because they approach this same standard of behavior in the school children and they say that white slavery pictures should not be shown. I now read you an editorial from this splendid book, which is worthy of attention at this time. "When the national board of censors announced that it had ruled against the exhibition in sixty-three of the principal white slavery pictures it said that its action had been taken after hearing from leading exhibitors in sixty-three of the principal white slavery pictures. Both the decision by the board and the conclusions of the exhibitors are cheering. They have been told that the mind than some observers had realized. Probably if the facts were known it would move prosperous overwhelming majority of the people who movies detest indecenty on the screen and that the producers and exhibitors would move prosperous if they made a rule to show a scene debased by prurence." The Chicago Tribune in speaking of the exhibition has the following comment to make: "His new movie is as unreal a piece of pictured reality as ever was put on the screen. It was made of extravagant barroom conversation transferred to great pictures." We censor the movies for moral reasons. We criticize them for their outrages against the intelligence. They serve the gross superstitution of people and thereby do damage to the community common sense. For the present the movies mainly insist upon using bunk as the motive of action, and they are not ready to accept the rationality of canine behavior sequence. They are debauching the minds of the people who see them, for that reason, and Mr. Griffith has no equal with them. They are not better than in censorship. That would be a short cut, but it is one which seemingly cannot be taken. They fatten a considerable number of foolish popular notions regarding the custodial functions of the state. He tries to make the supervision and care of the unknot abhorrent and unpleasant cheap trickery of presenting helpless, if not dead. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER by malice disguised as righteousness. So long as the people consent to be busted, they will be busted. They are their own most effective censors. White slavery and lynchings should be the greatest picture, the greatest one that I have seen your attention to this morning is the incident of a gentleman in Pennsylvania. The article appeared in the Chicago Examiner and will be of vital interest to you: "Sherif Michael Hartnetted of Mauch Chunk, Pa, has the opportunity of his life to be involved in the pursuit of his opportunity to acquire sudden wealth is in the hanging of Martin Lescott, the executioner and the victim of murder and who will pay the penalty of his crime by being executed at the gallows. "Many have made application already to pay a high price to witness the death penalty inflicted. Although the electric current is the executioner for hanging in that state, Lescott was for execution and sentenced to be hanged before the law was enacted. This will be the last time he is the state, hence the desire to witness." "A motion picture company has made a motion picture Sherif Hartneady to take a picture of the film and including the hanging, and the company proposes to make it a feature film. The screen is represented on the screen are representations of the real this would be a genuine picture of the film he applied to him. No consequently it has appealed to him, so the film company as a big opportunity." Mr. Igoe of Chicago—May I ask the gentleman question? "Is Jackson—Yay." Mr. Igoe—Would your bill prevent the taking of pictures such as were taken down at Murphysboro of a hanging tree? Mr. Jackson—A hanging scene there; yes, ask. Mr. Igoe—A colored man was hung there and the sheriff insisted upon a public hanging and pictures were taken of it. And when another prisoner was hung there and the sheriff insisted upon a public hanging. Mr. Jackson—And judge Dunne prevented it, or Governor Dunne, rather. Another question: Would your bill prevent the showing of "The Little Girl Next Door" in Chicago? Mr. Jackson—I have not seen "The Little Girl Next Door." Mr. Igoe, so I cannot say. Mr. Igoo—Do you happen to know what city you were up there? Mr. Jackson—No, sir. Mr. Igoo—Do you happen to know that it is the city administration of Chicago? Mr. Igoe--Don't you know that is true? Mr. Jackson--I cannot say that that is true. Mr. Ellis of Kane County--What has that got to do with this hill? Mr. Igoe Withdraws Mr. Igoe--Jason makes the speech or is Mr. Ellis. speech or is Mr. Ellis? Mr. Jackson—Mr. Jackson is trying to make a speech and the gentleman by interlocutaries is trying to break it up. Mr. Igoo—I am not trying to break it up. Mr. Jackson—Apparently so. Mr. Igoe-1 will not interrupt further; Jackson—Nov. Mr. Speaker and gentleman—Nov. Mr. Speaker and gentleman—Nov. Mr. Igoe Next door," that Mr. Igoe refers to that there is a scene in there that tures the lynching or the burning of a scene in there. Mr. Igoe, I would have some record of it, because I have made four years, and I can not say that, four years, and I can not say that, four years. In "The Birth of a Nation" there is a scene where they picture a member of the United States who, having seven or eight years old, and the purpose that victim over various fields and finally to the top of a great mountain, where he is high cliff into a bloody cushion and dash its brins against the rocks below. That scene is in the "Birth of a Nation." And that forces a prejudices against that class. Surely you can not favor the exploitation of a scene of that character; I agree. Finally, I want to say, Mr. Speaker, that the Y. M. C. A.'s of this country and the entire world have passed a rule that institutions throughout this country, and bills have been introduced of a similar Congress in United States and in the State of Ohio. The leading film companies favor the creation of a federal censorship in the Mountaintop Pictures Corporation, following: the Famous Players Film Company, the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company, the Warner Bros. Film Corporation and the World Film Corporation, on January 26, 1916, filed a brief for federal censorship of films, signed by attorneys above companies, in which they said: "The production of vicious pictures is constantly increasing, just because they are so horrible. If you endure, if decent people are to stay in the business, this cancer must be cut out." Thy, the president of the United States has also spoken on this question. He said recently in an address to an assemblage in the city of Philadelphia, Pa. "You cannot be an American if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who lives in Philadelphia is an international group is not yet an American." My advice to you is to think first not onl: of America but to think first of humanity, and you do not love humanity if you seek to divide humanity into jealous camps. "I am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital out of the passions of his fellow men. He has lost the touch and ideal of America. The man who seeks to divide man from man, group from group, interest from interest in the United States, is striking at its very heart. "Gentlemen, that is a splendid sentiment coming from the President of the United States, particularly considering the position that he occupies before the nations of the world at this particular time." Hope that I have impressed you with the thought of the best minds of the nation in this matter. I ask you to vote for this bill because it is in the interest of humanity, it protects the citizens of this great state and I believe that it is a class of pictures that should not be shown to our children, and it is in the interest and welfare of all the people of the great state of Illinois. Two ways lie open to you—one leading to an even lower and lower plain, where are heard the erles of despair and the curses of the poor, where manhood shrivels and possession rots down the possessors, and the other leading off to the highlands of the morning, where are heard the glad shouts of humanity, and where honest effort is renewed with immortality. Gentlemen, I thank you. (Applause.) The Speaker.—On this question the "years" are 115, and the "nays" 8; the bill having received the necessary constitutional majority is declared passed, and the clerk will report the title of the bill. Lucas on the Constitutional Convention Mr. Lucas.—(On roll call.) Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the house: I occupy a very unique position in this general assembly, belonging, as I do, to a distinctive race variety, concerning which there is an erroneous impression that this peculiar race variety usually stands as obstructionists, feeling that they do not understand or conceive as other people do, feeling that they are not vitally interested in the things in which the great citizenship of a great state are interested. I occupy, as I say, a very unique position, but I want to say that this race, represented in part by my humble self, always look proportions that are being considered by the people as a whole squarely in the face, whether absolutely upon their merit, considering them as is becoming a citizen of the great state of Illinois, irrespective of race or nationality. I contess that I had some misgivings the need for and the benefit to be derived from the resolution. it appeared fraught with many dangers, but when I canvassed this great state, when I looked to the man of my life down upon me in life likeness the man tried Lincoln, when I think of that gift of great country; when I think of that great gift of my life; when I think of the gift of Elijah P. Lovejoy to the great cause of abolition; when I think of the great gift of my life; and the Black Eagle John the honor of this country; when I think of the wisdom of this legislature of statutes book of this great state such lastly the man the right of liberty and the every man the right of happiness such as is enjoyed in no other place; then my confidence is restored, my life in the same deliberate judgment of people of this state, that they will safeguard the interests of me and mife, is steadfast. I believe that this is a step in the right direction. (Applause.) This movement is important to this state, as I understand it, it handles constitutional limitation; our taxing system is such that in only a matter of time, it has increased as it has increased in the last decade, be almost impossible for the common people, the class to which I belong, to assess the state this state. If for no other reason I feel so insufficient for the adoption of this resolution, I want to say, and may it be that I may not have to make a reaction again, that this race with which I am identified are as vitally interested in those that are of interest to the people of Illinois as any other of its citizenship. I desire to be recorded as voting "no" to the vote. (Roll call continued.) BEN. H. LUCAS State Representative from Chicago EXODUS TO CONTINUE Atlanta, GA, April 20—The south has been quietly sitting in the boat, saying nothing about the exodus, and now it has dawned upon them that there is not enough men to supply the demand for labor and factories. H. R. Welborn (white) and his lanta federal reserve board, made public a report that thousands had gone north and that a shortage has been felt in all areas. The labor that has gone north has drifted back. With the coming of the spring it is not the plight of the emigrant will be seen. It is not the plight of labor agents that has caused the people to go north, but they have become tired of the barbarism of the south and lack of wages for the education of their children.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1917 SEE H Also Prominent Entertain What has been urged by printed word and spoken in these recent days of stress and portent—mutual service, national service, loyalty, fidelity and constancy—will be focused by the Race in Chicago at a mass meeting in the armory of the Eighth Illinois regiment the evening of Friday, April 27, at 8:15 o'clock. What has been in the mind and conscience of every man, woman and child in this city since the democracy was peril, what has been the unformed yet sincere purpose of every Colored citizen's home and ideals were threatened by war, will be made clear and concrete at the proposed meeting, which is expected to be the largest and most important, fraught with the gravest responsibilities and of vital moment. Under the aisles of the Armstrong League of Chicago the services of the Race in this city will be outlined so as to be of the greatest value to the country. That for which General Samuel Chapman for Armstrong of Hampton will be appointed for the century will be embodied in the general plan, will be the basis of procedure. For fifty years Hampton has stood for conservation of natural and human resources. Hampton has held a hundred years. Hampton has challenged individual effort leavened by morality. That which she has taught in these years will be presented for the preservation of the reelection of the Negro in maintenance of the standard and the standards of the nation, will be discussed. Since the conflict which has called the old world to arms enmeshed the new world to align with those on whom this nation depends, and to serve best those who compose the nation; to co-operate to the fullest extent with the nation's Colored states; to work for which Hampton has sustained throughout the land to give that which is best and finest within them. Above all, that spirit of mutuality and integration for which Hampton has stored the soul will be tested. Petalie jealousies, reckless blecking and narrow ways are to be forget, and in their place shall come at once that is real solidarity and faith in ourselves that are made for real humanity, for actual solidarity. What Hampton graduates have been taught is to be taught to those here of our Race, so that they can move forward, even toward the flag. Hampton's men, young and old, are called under the banner to show our people how to till the land so that it will give its utmost. The scientific system of agriculture which has distinguished Hampton since its inception was based on those of other or control land. Those of Hampton who are artisans, those who have become of high value to the nation, will be a part of the great army by which the people will be clothed, by which they will be raised, by which they will be comforted, under the shadow of war. The trades and the arts which Hampton teaches will become a part of the offering of the Colored people in Chicago to the flag of the United States. Our young men will be directed in kindness and concern, sent their ability to the people at large. By deed, by the labor of love, they will uphold the traditions of the Race. They will be shown that not alone by force of arms may a people preserve itself, concentration in industry, for concentration in farmwork at Washington has appealed, will be the purpose of the program. Those of our Race who would fight in the field will be taught military tactics by graduates of Hampton, which from the preschool and practiced preparedness—alertness in all human endeavor. Not alone will the men of our people in Chicago be benefited by Hampton's program of co-operation, but our young women in our community will be enrolled under the Armstrong gonfalon. Conservation in its essence will be instilled into the midds of the women of our people. They will be shown how Hampton teaches that that which men are wounded in the army and had caused them into palatable, nutritious edibles.

Hampton in this wise are oppositely present to the 9,000 or more Hampton graduates throughout the United States, written by Hollis B. Frysell, principal: My Dear Children. In these troubles I take this occasion to send you a word of greeting and encouragement. "As you know, we are now at war with the German government because the German government first made war on us, sinking our ships without warn-ment, levelling off all laws of humanity, leaving behind other noncombatants to perish of exposure in open boats at sea. Germany has plotted against the peace and safety of our land, endeavoring to stir up Mexico against us, and now the newspapers charge that she has sent agents through Colored people to delilayoy. It may be that in some districts a few in their bitterness may have listened to evil counsellors. It is for you who have seen the light to do all in your power to inspire your people with patriotism and to arouse that deep sense of loyalty to our nation that has always been one of the noblest characteristics of the Negro people. "As Dr. Washington and Dr. Motton have proved by their lives of quiet, unpretentious service, the Colored man is to secure recognition not only by manning the light but by preserving them. Bitterness, fear, hatred, narrow fealousies and selfish interests can have no place in our lives at such a time as this, when our government is calling for a new constitution and child can give. We must each put aside all thought of self and give his help generously wherever there is opportunity, whether it is for a white man or a black man, and is through some great sacrifice for the good of our country or by a cup of cold water to some one in want. Let us show our colors and hang up the flag of our country or of our doors of our dwellings. Let us teach the children to love and respect that flag. "The country needs all that you can do. It needs a larger food supply. If you have any land, no matter how small, you can increase your crops and teach others how to do the same. If you hear threats of danger or see signs of disaffection, see that the matter is brought to the attention of the authorities stamped out at once. Do not allow yourself to be disturbed by a few mischief makers. The great mass of your countrymen, north and south, believe in you and trust your loyalty absolutely. You must stand shoulder to shoulder in this crisis. Not only is it our duty and privilege to help our own country, but let us remember those war-striken French, who have been killed in France. Belgium, and the others which have been so bravely fighting and suffering these many months for the cause of right which we have now championed, and let us try to help them also in every power, by word and deed and prayer." Among those who will deliver addresses at the meeting, which starts at 10 a.m. on Friday for a promoter of the Chicago Defender; J. B. Street and Major R. A. Jackson; Mr. Abbott and Major Jackson are Hampton graduates. They will testify on behalf of the Hampton College. The Hampton quartette, far famed, will sing plantation melodies.

Y. New York, April 20. Last Wednesday; night Sam Langford showed the fight fans that he is still in the ring and be- feced Jack Thompson. He looked as if Thompson was going to win on points. He kept lunging to the body with his left, and backed Langford around the body. Thompson would bombard the body with both hands. Gradually, however, Thompson punched himself out. About the farthest round Sam also punched Thompson. Thompson bombarded him in the inighting. Instead of blocking with his glove Sam simply grapped Thompson's elbows and punched him. Thompson was pulling his punches. In the fourth round Langford decided that Thompson had used his aldermine punch as a punching bag long enough to club-like lefts and rights and put Thompson on the defensive. Near the end of the round Thompson, wrestled back and rear riled. The bell clanged, however, before Langford could wreak any vengeance. Thereafter Thompson was aggressive only when Langford permitted him to cut loose. On the receiving end of a choice assortment of pile driving lefts and rights. Always Langford seemed careful not to cut loose, but when he was as long as Thompson behaved Sam seemed content to allow the bout to continue. In the fifth round Thompson cut loose, an especially vicious uppercut. Langford ducked it, and the impetus of Thompson's swing sent him to the boards. The last round saw Thompson both legs and arm wry, while the complaint Langford was still full of Alcorn, Miss., April 20.—The Talladega baseball team had their colors lowered by the Alcorn boys in two one-sided cont sts: Under clouded skies the "Alcornites" trimmed the Talladegans to the tune of 15 to 1 and 14 to 3.

Whit caused Croak to roll to Bauchman. Pick, although he was playing, shot him to Strauthers, and Lange was on the plate on a quick relay to Coleman. C.

The inference is enough to class this game a game of time. With Irons, Kennedy, Stacey, and Pogues in the inner garden, and Warner, Varrick and Winston on the farm, this club should be the best team in the season. Their books are open for May dates. W. D.

JACK JOHNSON WANTS TO FIGHT LANGFORD Preliminary steps toward matching Sam Langford of South State street and Jack Johnson of Barcelona, Spain, world's heavyweight champion, for a long distance battle in Buenos Aires, Argentina, about the middle of June are being taken. Langford, who is campaigning in the east, will find upon his return to his Chicago home a letter from Harry Clark, Johnson's manager, who is in Rio Janelo, Brazil, arranging a series of fisticuffs for the former king pin of the heavies. The letter contains, according to a letter received by the sporting editor of the Daily News, Mr. Ben McCutcheon, a proposition for Sam to meet Jack in the South American city. "I have booked Johnson for twenty-two exhibitions in Brazil," writes Clark, "and am busy now booking him for the rest of South America. Jack will leave Barcelona, Spain, about the middle of May 3. Booked for 21 Exhibitions "Jack, according to his latest letter to me, is in fine form and eager for the campaign in South America. I have no doubt that there still are many good fight left in the former champion. I have never thought ought to prove a strong card in Buenos Aires, where both men are well known—Jack by reputation and Sam personally. Langford's friends believe he will agree to meet Johnson on one kind route, provided the financial inducements are satisfactory. Sam's experiences in South America at the time of the big 'carnival' at Buenos Aires last summer were anything but pleasant and unpleasant. The invasion of American boxers of South America under the direction of Jim Buckley of New York resulted in failure and disappointment to almost all the invaders. It is said that two or three of the more unpleasant still down on the sister continent trying to get back to the United States. Langford Loses on Trip "The trip cost us a pretty penny," said Langtong recently "my loss being well up in the hundreds of dollars. Ted Lewis, the welterweight, is reported to have lost 100 pounds, who recently sent word from Panama that Jim Barry had been killed in a quarrel, also suffered big financial loss. Sam could have been back here sooner, but he made up his mind to try to re-learn how to fight least with an even break on the deal." The southern sports, according to the boxers who made the trip, were largely of the "tin horn" variety, doing most of their talking with their mouths and littering nos Aires was a filver in every sense of the term. A few of the Americans succeeded in getting bouts at an almost unapproachable suburb of Buenos Aires, the purses being no larger than are the ones to show openers at clubs in this county. Sam Wants His in Advance It is certain, in view of his recent expressions, that Sam will not make the long trip to his share of the money. Promises will not satisfy him; he will demand to have the real money in his hands—at least in the hands of some responsible person—before he settles on the money. Before he settles on these funds without a return ticket in his pocket and enough advance money to settle all traveling expenses.

BILLIARDS AND POOL New York, April 20.—As the bill-lard season nears the close the interest seems to be at its height, caused by the importance of the remaining games to be played yet. This season has been all if not more than the club anticipated owing to the many other attractions of importance which were held this winter. The Class D tournament just about to end is being made doubly interesting by the close finishes. The leading man, Charles Harris, is separated from a tie with four men by the narrow margin of one game which he has to play if he is defeated. If he wins this game there will be three men tied for second place. The high prize is still in doubt. This tournament must finish by April 20th. The club's annual handicap, Round Robin, composed, of members of classes B and C, is or 100 points. The trophy to the winner is of intrinsic value and is much coveted by every participant in this annual feature. It was originally donated by the club manager in 1918 and is known as the W. H.

The fact that the carnival was held on Friday, and the date being the 18th, had no effect on the athletics operations of the board of governors and the community, who did their work well in arranging for the most successful affair of their career, fully 12,000 people attending to witness the athletic games and dance to the other day. The first day of the month, which did their work in arranging for the most successful affair of their career, fully 12,000 people attending to witness the athletic games and dance to the other day. Taxicabs and automobiles completely surrounded the armory, which presented a spectacular sight. It was the one night of the year that many of the men who had been in the carnival visited the city of graveyards. To the writer's mind, no doubt the majority of the visitors left well satisfied with the games and considered their health, and the number of the other hand, taxicabs and automobiles, thought, way down in their hearts, and answered the roll call to witness the sprinter, Howard P. Drew, which he did not have to have enough to be满足, though he sat in the fimad struggle, after enough to be held at the heat (the judges' decision) with Andrew J. Kelly (white) of Holy Cross College. It was a great triumph and clearly demonstrate that his name is to again rank with the other name in the group, and to work with the country, and not as a has-been. When Drew appeared on the floor after the race he was as tickled as a little boy, and was in the same position as a White-Peggy-Classy-Poland Bounce. Frederick Douglass was the first of the three, demonstrated his ability as a hurdler, beating a first-class field in the 65-yard hurdle race in easy fashion. Roy F. Morse finished third in the century, but the first-class was not yet in the race, which he was expected to win. Harry M. Martin of the Pittsburg Independent A. A. and Irving T. Howe of the Irish-American A. C. appeared to have been the first-class winner of the race, many other race-passers. Many other Race boys, respectively, were not in the race. The one-mile medley match relay race open to Alpha, St. Christopher, Salem, Crescent, Carlton and Smart Set, was won by the other two, who were not in the race, but were on the program. a 500-yard full equipment race, closed to members of the Fifteenth regiment N.

The crowd swarmed upon the floor to prepare for dancing, the winner being lost to the first-class. The first-class was the chairman of the games committee, to be highly complimented on the elegant manner in which he conducted the games. Wonder the A. A.

Higgins, Irish-American Club; second; J. J. O'Brien, Loudhill Lycus Club. third. Time: 5:2-5 seconds. NOTES OF THE MEET The games were so well handled from start to finish that the most fastidious were satisfied. W. Stockley of the St. Christopher team looked like a real winner in the two-mile race, but he "blew" in the final quarter. Drew proved a good sportsman in the run of the Special 100 Yard Special. He walked across the track and shook hands with Andy Kelley. The white lad shook heartily and the crowd went into hysterics. Binga Dismond was sure missed in the quarter. Kelley was disappointed in not being able to start. Every one was surprised at Drew's form. Although he knew he had laid flat on his back for five weeks last August, he "came back," and, though beaten, he ran a mighty fine race. Round after round of applause greeted him. Pollard's timber-topping was some real action. The quarter was disappointing. Higgins jumped in front on the home turn. McMullen jumped in last 200 yards. Howe was way off form. Ted was fourth and Howe last. Every one was well satisfied, but no one more than Drew, whose muscles were way beyond two of the cracks in the century dash.

Dixon can count on a REAL find, and Tyre holds a reputation he won down in Tennessee while with the Tennessee Rats. That was be blossomed out with the All-Nations. Good Trip The Glants have really enjoyed themselves, besides having the luxuries of the season at Palm Beach, and winning championship, they have been royally played at. He played, he have played.

Tyrne and Dixon working, the victory as the Glants, although two runs ahead in the eighth when the game was called, the score technically the victory as the Glants, and inning. Wiley, of course to the delight of the rabah boys, won 6-5. Johnson and Petway worked against Smith and Butler. The Glants were treated like kings at the Glants, in automobiles, and then entertained in automobiles, and then entertained after they danced.
