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.

SAM LANGFORD DEFEATS JACK THOMPSON IN N. 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 --- --- coaching line. His Uncle Tom stunt drew laughts from the white (cheap in at that), but caused much embarrassment and disgust among his own race: Maroney singled in the third with one gone, Lange singled, then Whithorn or horrified a wild pitch which advanced both horrors to Strauthers, who in his hurry fumbled. 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. Wotell's double in the seventh started some more trouble. Callan hit to Whitworth, who throw wide to Green and reached first safety. On an attempted double steal Callan went to second, Bauchman coming in to take the throw in an effort to kill Wotell at the plate and reaching first safety. On an attempted back before Bauch's arm could get in a position to throw. Egan was out when he attempted to bunt. He hit the ball and started for home, but ended blocking Coleman from catching it. He was out for interference. Maroney fled to Jenkins, Wotell scoring after the catch, and Overlock popped to Bauchman. Egan ran out of his path a few days ago in the play-off of the high school championship series and bumped Fred Pollard over, causing a big howl favorable for football on the game to dribble into twelve innings. The Glants got on four times on hits. Twice they were victims of double plays by careless base running on short covers. Whitworth and Cradure favorable for football on the national pastime.

Y., April 20—Eddie Irons, who is one of the best known managers of semi-pro Brooklyn has an aggregation of players who can be able to repulse any attack fostered by any team looking for a rep. 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. Dunbar, 1682 Fulton street, is owner and backer, and all Brooklynies laurel "niele" has only the best that can be had. Brooklyn Giants An old saying goes that a good start makes a bad ending, but we hope such is not the case with Ed Skinner's Pastimers, "They have an average of 1,000. They have a very high score featuring the crack Senecas by a score of 8 to 7. Ed has on his payroll this season: Lon Meyers, "Sport" Dyson, "Yellow" Loach, "Soup" Thompson, Leander H.

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.

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. The best are fair, the climax of them all, was left to the Ceddes, the undertaker, who took the club, and he was crazy over the Chicago boys, calling "their boys."

To make matters worse the Giants went up in the air and made a play which proved rather costly. The score: SCHOLASTICS TO HAVE A Philadelphia, Pa. April 20—The brilliant success, the team owes much to the publicity man Vale, Vale, and the manager, John C. Robbins. These chaps spared no pain in making basket ball the most popular recreation in Pittsburgh. In fact, these men are much responsible for the basket ball thing in the weet. Long distance weeks, with good profit, is not bad for a cupsters who staged more home games than all other local teams combined.
