C., Nov. 8.—Two important investigations connected with the labor problems of the war are now under way in the southern states—one to determine what truth, if any, there is in charges that our people are quitting work because they receive allotments from relatives in the military service, and the other to examine a proposal to the southern state subjected to compulsory work laws.

Haynes, director of the Department of Labor, is to make the relations between the populations of the southern states as congenial as that between prevent discrimination in labor affairs.

After the fight Wills was given management, pleading that he was not condition at the time of the six-round bout and that his reason for appearing on that occasion in an unprepared condition was that he desired to fulfill his contract and avoid a general disqualification. Jason granted a return match, and at the time of his death the date of the match had not been settled. WHAT OTHER MEN THINK OF BATTLING, JIM William Buckner, former trainer of Chicago White Sox: "Without a doubt the prize ring has lost one of the greatest fighters the world has ever faced. With batting Jim Johnson was second to none in the matter of ability and cleverness to any of the boys in the heavy-weight class." Bill Jones, owner of Jones Athletic Club, Chicago: "With the passing of Battling Jim we have sustained a great loss. His appearance in the ring will be missed by all who followed the box-art. For courage and good judgment with mixing gloves with an opponent Battling Jim was hard to beat." Rattlesnake Kid, Indianapolis, Ind. "When Battling Jim closed his eyes in dreamless sleep boxing received a fatal blow. As to his general fitness as a fighter of AI class he had few equals. Many of the boys in the heavy timber class feared Battling Jim." Goong Joe Gans, New Orleans: "It grieves me of battling Jim's death. He was the man and ready fellow, and it required the to whip him. I have often seen him in action and marveled at his cleverness and heavy hitpower." Assemblyman Johnson Is New York, Nov. 8—All Harlem is on fire with enthusiasm. A motion of Edward A.

Hawkins to the general assembly, Mr. Johnson, noted lawyer and author, was re-elected by a handsome vote, was re-elected by a handsome vote, like Mr. Hawkins, also a lawyer and, like Mr. Hawkins, a citizen of citizen, was given a flattering vote. Mr. Johnson made an excellent record in the last assembly, and the friends of Mr. Hawkins expect him to re-record both as to courage and intelligence in the next set by Mr. Johnson. The election of Johnson and Hawkins is a striking commentary on the passing of the old type of Race leader in this city, who was all for himself, and for nobody and for nobody and for to kill off all young men who didn't know how to be messengers at court for white Republican leaders.

Turpin Elected Constable St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 6—The election result in Missouri took everybody off their feet, and took Champ Clark very hard. The governor, George Riley was elected to the lower house of the state legislature by a handsome majority, while Charles H. Turpin, the business man, was elected constable by a judge. Mr. Turpin held this position before, and recently went through the courts on a contest for it. Dr. Riley is a progressive citizen, and will represent the district," said Dr. Riley, "and will remember that I represent all the people in the district." By J. M. Batchman In a last minute appeal to defeat Dr. William M.

This association is headed by Jason Llewellyn, who attempted to criticize the party because it decided that a Negro was in the person of Dr. Riley who had the brains and character to represent the party and the people of the Fourth District, if the choice could be founded on merit. The State of Missouri has never had one of a member of the Legislature, and only a few of our people begin to aspire for houses which are equally theirs with other members of the electorate. Ignorant Class Leads. The Chouteau-Lindell Improvement Association is one of those organizations, which from the very analysis of its purposes and propaganda, recommends that the city, as representing an innominate class of red necks who are a detriment to community life, improvement and progress in its broadest sense and be encouraged to make the masses to whom they make their strongest appeals for popular support. The Chouteau-Lindell Improvement Association, in its insulting position in the mayor's candidacy, forgets that the white population of the city, do not give a thinker's dam for segregation or Negro encroachment when under fire in the front line trenches in France, and will not give a thinker's dam of that spirit when they return. If more of this gruelling experience has to be gone through as the present fighting indicates. Out of this will come the spirit of true democracy and there will be a spirit for such organizations as the Chouteau-Lindell Improvement Association. HOLD POLICE TO GRAND JURY Philadelphia. Pa.

Fields The latest returns from the Election Commissioners' office indicate that Medill McCormick, who was indorsed by the Defender, was elected over James Hamilton Lewis for the United States Senate by 60,000 plurality. The contest between these two, by reason of the hearty indorsement given Col. Lewis by the President, made the contest in Illinois one of marked interest. Ex-Senator William E. Mason, Congressman at-large, was re-elected as Congressman Martin B. Madden. Republicans Control Sanitary District. The Democratic ticket headed by Thomas F. Scully, Judge of the County, was on the number of large offices, including the County Clerk, County Treasurer. There were some notable exceptions on their side in that it appears that Charles Peters, Republican candidate for Sheriff, nosed out ahead of Anton L. Browne, the same office. The Republicans won the sanitary district contest, electing Wm. J. Healy, Alderman Harry E. Litter and Willis O. Nance. James M. Dalley, Democratic candidate for president of the sanitary district, received the highest vote of his party for the office. Forget Party Ties The vote by wards shows especially, where we are thickly populated that for the first time we abandoned our allegiance to our former ally, the Republican party, and exercised our manhood rights in choosing the men we desired to serve us. Something unprecedented in Democracy may be presented in the Second Ward, where two fifths of the vote cast were counted on the Democratic side, getting an equal vote in the Third and the same obtained in every locality in which our voters reside. Our attitude in this election should that are at least realizing the importance of putting "our eggs" in two baskets. Our conduct cannot but improve our condition and enable us to get a better hearing in the councils of the Democratic Party. Griffin and Johnson Lose Charles A. Griffin and Col. James D. Johnson, candidates for County Commission, were victims of the Democracy show that Col. Johnson received 97,694, Griffin 97,269, which was very complimentary, but not sufficient to secure their election. The Ion. S. B. Turner of the First District, and Adelbert Roberts, Warren Doughas of the Third District, gave us for the first time three members in the lower house at Springfield. The Defender has for some time endeavored to impress upon the minds of our group of people the importance of advice considerable criticism has been aimed at the "advisor." Charity prompts the statement that these gentlemen no doubt believe in their hearts that they offered a better solution when they contended that we should continue to advocate the policies of the Republican party. It was contended by us that there should be a division of political strength among our group in order that we might have access to the council of both great parties. Time alone will justify our action. In the election of the Hon. Warren B. Douglas to the Legislature in the Third District, ex-Alderman Oscar De Priest, the leader of the People's Movement, becomes a factor of political movement by his friends that he will be a candidate for the City Council in the spring election and -is the only man in the movement who will be able to make a creditable race against the present incumbent. The Defender indorsed Medill McCormick, D. Congressman William E. Mason, Charles B. Barrett and Bernard P. Barasa on the Republican ticket. On the Democratic ticket, Thomas F. Scully for Judge of County Court, James F. Hailley of County Court, and in fact contributed most heartily to the success of the Democratic ticket. We have no regret to make nor apologies to offer for our conduct. We spoke out of our best conscience and will abide the results of the entire country indicates that the Republicans will control both houses in the next congress.

Senter's supervision, and Senter, in protecting the interest of his landlord, demanded the pecans of Green. Green reluctantly gave over the pecans, and returned to this city, secured a Winchester and made his way to Salado Creek, where the murder occurred. William Sullivan (white) testified that Senter was a good, honest and trustworthy tenant for four years and was discharging his duty at the time of his death. Green is to serve two years. SOLDIER DIES IN FRANCE Somewhere in France, Nov. 8.—Another star will shine in Benton Harbor's (Mich. U. S. A.) service flag honoring the memory of Sergeant Benjamin Shubert Baber, son of Rev, and Mrs. Wm. Baber, who died in the service in France. Lobar pneumonia was given as the cause of death. Sergeant Baber's death is a great shock not only to the family but to a large number of friends in the twin cities, where the young man had frequently visited. He was a member of the 809th Pioneers. Sergeant Baber was a talented musician. He was buried at Camp 1, Section 1, in France. FOR STEALING MULE Raleigh, N.

Convict White Man for MOB LYNCHES MAN ```markdown ``` interests and said, "If I was a black man and was dying over there I would want black hands to soothe my brow and give me comfort." Why should your nurses not be allowed to go over there? was the question asked by other speakers, including Theodore Roosevelt and Cobb. At the conclusion Cobb said that the slogan of the colored troops in France is, "Come on, let's go." And after a time the whites picked up the same slogan to "go over the top." He admitted that he disagreed with Roosevelt politically, but lauded him as the finest specimen of new Americanism. Colonel Roosevelt, who also spoke, said that white people, being prejudiced, always judge the whole Race by a few criminals. "Hence," said the colonel, "the greatest thing you people can' do for your Race is to run down the criminals whenever it is possible. And I will do all I can after this war to get a square deal for the colored man. You people should not only get the material things, but the respect that is given the whites, aiding them to maintain their dignity." He concluded Roberts, the hero of the 15th, who was seated at his side. In ending his rework he said that the war would be over before we knew. Other speakers were Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Dr. George E. Haynes, T. Turner Layton and Monsieur Marcel Knecht, member of the French high commission to the United States, who praised the work of our boys "over there." Major Moton was delayed on account of a wreck and he did not arrive in time. The musical program was excellent. STEAM PIPE EXPLODES Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 8.—An explosion in the city lighting plant of a large steam pipe caused the death of Silke Liston and injured perhaps fatally four or five other employees. As usual the fire no one on whom to fix the blame; it is just another one of those calamities that appear without cause. Liston was on top of the boiler when it exploded, and though the escaping steam hurled bricks, iron and mud in every direction, he escaped these things only to be forced to inhale the burning steam, which caused his death a few hours later. Much bravery was displayed by John Donald, a water tender, who rushed through the scalding steam and turned off two blowers which supply the boilers with air and water, thereby stopping the further making of steam and further explosions. Jessie James, Cephus Nesbit and Albert Davis were also injured at the plant, though not so seriously, and after a short stay at a hospital were able to be removed to their homes. It appears that the whole plant was manned by "bronze" employees, at least in this particular department, as no record is forthcoming of a single white man even having his fingers burned. Of course there is no such thing as paying back the bereaved family for the loss of life, but the city should see that the family is amply provided for. All of the men deserve the highest praise for their heroism, as they undoubtedly saved the city of Memphis many thousands of dollars. FIREMAN BADLY SCALDED New Iberia, La., Nov. 8.—Robert Garrett, fireman at the Prisco roundhouse, was badly scalded about the legs while cleaning an engine. Physicians are doubtful as to whether he will be able to use his limbs again. COL.

If you have Rheumatism in any form, with those terrible, agonizing, shooting pains, aching bones or joints, Pains in the Head, Swollen Joints or Risings, Blood Poison with Itching Skin, Eczema, Old Sores, Pimples, Sore Patches in Your Mouth, Hair Falling Out in Patches, then take Prescription C-2223.

It sends a flood of pure, rich blood to the skin surface, healing all sores and stopping all pains and aches. Try it yourself. C-2223 not only purifies the blood, but drains out of your system all the poisons, humors and uric acids that cause the awful pains and sores, also stops that burning itching of the skin, giving anyone a smooth, healthy skin as well as pure, rich blood, stopping all the aches and pains.

Y., Nov. 8.—Surprise and amazement was evidenced a few months ago when Rey. A. P. Miller of Nazareth Congregational church handed in his resignation, but upon investigation it was learned that if the Reverend desired to retain the status of a church, he would have had to show any self-respect for himself, he could not help but resign. It was learned that there was a movement on foot to supplant him and he agreed to rest in the庙堂, and he had a new place for the sum of $30 per month, and now they are willing to give a man $1,800 per year after all that he has done for the last three years. The government we learned that Rev. Miller, a minister for over forty years, graduate of Flsk and Yale, universities, missionaries, and the Church, and noted as a church-member, was a member of the Church. He had members of his own church, whom he had served and worked with for the last eight years. About four years ago he was a member of the Church, and a Swedish church, corner Troy, a house and Herklimer street, for the sum of $15,000 and has succeeded in having a place for all except $30,000 which he had planned to have. He had members, taking advantage of the cold weather, and the greatness of the wind, which other last winter, the war, and many other unavoidable circumstances, created a condition of the church to Dr. Miller's while friends. These Christian members, who were likely lied, and in the trust of God, of the word took advantage of God, they have related, did not keep Dr. Miller from the church, but these trustees were not there. He was always a prayer meeting, where were the trustees? Now, he was the trustees? Where are the trustees? They are at the church without a pastor, with a guilty conscience, containing the word "I have done" done, with the spirit of the church as high as theirs and a slim chance of ever getting a cyan that will slave for the last 10 years. They paid Dr. Miller $30 per year with the trust-ment plan. Now they are offering $1,500 per year for a good man, as they can. Can you get them one? For the first time, he said. But he said. Yet, 27. Up to date the church has no pastor. Dr. Miller, who like Saint Paul, worked while he preached. He works for the city of New Jersey, being employed in the city hall for many years. He has a nice home and also operates a fine garage. REV. MILLER'S WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 8. —There was a large gathering of the vestry and congregation of St. Augustine P. E.

Say, Clara, Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of climate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not so with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is your accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy mess used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

Mordecai, a former 24th Infantry man, who was acting as the sergeant's private secretary. Manager Elmore Aids "Frenchy," the popular manager of the Lafayette theater, who can always be found aiding anything where the Race or a member of the Race is concerned, has been nobly aiding the many affairs that have been arranged in Sergt. Roberts' honor. Not only did the Lafayette first bring the hero to an announcement of the New York public, but Frenchy arranged a nox party at the theater Frenchelle, a number of Roberts' friends and himself were present. This act of courtesy on the part of Frenchy, which we believe to be from his heart and not from ulterior motives, makes him more than ever a credit to the company were several of Roberts' immediate family and few friends. The box was beautifully decorated, half of Manhattan Lodge of Elks a signet ring was presented to Roberts. During the evening a beautiful poem was recited by Daughter Phillips. The play, "The Man They Left Behind," portrayed an excellent lesson on patriotism, making the show peculiarly fit for the evening. After Roberts had been introduced to the audience by C. H. Joel, the audience stood up and cheered to the strains of our national anthem. Why Not Capt. Roberts? Roberts, who is 21 years old, is a clean-cut young man and without his uniform would look more like a college chap. Born in Trenton, N. J., the son of Rev. and Mrs. Noman Roberts, he joined in the Fifteenth Infantry, New York during a early formation, Sergei. Roberts expects his daughter shortly, and then hopes to be able to go to college. The young man's finances are not just what they might be, frankly speaking. It has come to me that partly every wounded white hero was treated this country invalidated home has been made to a captainny, majority, etc. Why not make Roberts a captain? No better way of our country's appreciation could be shown than promoting the people and must rally in support in some concrete manner to make this hero—our hero—what he should be.

O. in connection with the article in correspondent, Charles T. Magill, on the work of the association, which appear in the Defender Oct. 12. The letter follows: "I have been intending to write you, for some time, telling you how much we appreciate the splendid achievement among girls and women in the Chicago Defender. You certainly have gotten a clear-cut conception of the many ramifications, and expressed it in a way that sounded as if you had known that you were life. Please accept our hearty thanks and celebration. Very sincerely yours, Eva D. Bowles, Executive for Colored Work." Cigar Butt Shooter Side Show. One of the women porters working in the subway, known to New Yorkers as "cigar butt shooters" and "newspaper stabbers," was a side-show for the large number of passengers who change from the subway to the Seventh avenue line, a few days ago. While the passengers were waiting the express arrival, this "butt shooter" appeared with a pall and mop and started in to wash the floor. Her next task was to show a source of amusement for the passengers who were waiting there. A jester on the stage made up similar would be at his best. We can not understand why these women are doing this work for small pay when there are many of them for larger pay, which there is better pay and where they would be respected.

Largest Bill of Varieties in New York "September Morn" Shocks Spectators Miss Sophia Washington, 52, appeared as "September Morn" Monday night in West 136th street. The sight of Miss Sophia caused some women to faint and others to scream as she strolled up and down the block in an unconcerned manner. Police whistles soon caused a great crowd to become bolder, but no officers came for some time. Some one threw a white sheet out of a window, but to no avail. The performance continued until the police arrived on the scene and dispersed a crowd of about one thousand trying to congregate in front of 20-22 West 136th street, where the woman lives. Neighbors say that the woman is acting strangely since last Sunday when she smashed a pane of glass, while others think she is mentally unbalanced. However, a policeman denied the latter statement. Newaica Show Rapid Progress The contest of the Defender nowises is now in its eighth week, and the boys are still keeping up the enthusiasm with which they started. This past week, however, we noticed one great change in the records. Ernest Ashley, who started out as leader, has dropped way back to third on the list. But as the difference is so slight there is every chance in the world for Ernest to regain his old position. The present standing of the contestants is as follows: Chris Ruth of Yonkers, 830; Ernest Charles, 836; Victor Horsford, 802; Eulrich (Clark) of Jamalca, 804. Sandrina De Suzza, who has the distinction of being the only girl in the contest, has 832 Defenders sold to her credit.

A.—today the invitation was extended to the Greater New York to do the same honor to the organization, the Young Women's Christian Association, but comparatively speaking, the number was not near so great. Promptly at 2:15, Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, branch chairman, who presided over the exercises, in a brief explanatory statement introduced Miss Ransom, the president of the National Board in charge of Colored work, who was scheduled for the scripture reading. This was followed by a prayer, offered by Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church. Before the prayer was finished, the 15th infantry Band could be heard in the distance, playing a medley of hymns, as she insisted, the procession headed by the band, followed by a delegation of the Women's Motor Corps and a contingent of the branch girls, dressed in uniform, took their stand in front of the rostrum. The chairman, at this juncture, took the stand and introduced Mr. Ransom, the chairman of the Metropolitan Bureau of women whom she termed as "king of men" for his worth to the work. On account of another important engagement the remarks of Mr. Perkins were of a congratulatory nature, short and to the point, Dr. E. P. Roberts, chairman of the A. M. E. came to the rostrum and made a statement which were then collected by the aids. The editor of the A. M. E. Review, Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, well known in this community as an independent candidate, was then presented. He in turn read a short address. Dr. Ransom spoke of the Christian relationship of the institution to the people and laid particular emphasis on the importance of by our people in the recent campaign, saying that their donations were not from incomes but from daily earnings.

Co., Additional 1 "THE LAW OF THE LAND" "The Law of the Land," which had a long run in the loop, is one of the most interesting plays ever written by George Broadhurst, and he has written many successes, among them "Bought and Paid For" and "The Man of the Hour." It is a story of manslaughter, justifiable infidelity (perhaps, and police investigation. Here is the story: Mrs. Harding, who is married to a prominent lawyer who treats her with studied cruelty, shoots him dead when he attempts to use a horsewheel upon him. He is then rage. Entrusted by the continual violence to which she is subjected, she has had a liaison with Geoffrey Morton, whom she devotedly loves, and of whom Harding is secretly jealous, Morton has gone abroad, and has become a famous engineer, carrying his secret weapon. Harding has spread the report that his departure is due to a defalation. Years pass, and Morton returns to demand retraction, which hardling refuses to make. Before Morton leaves the room, he asks the little boy arouses his suspicions, and when he attempts to whip the child Morton snatches the weapon of torture out of the enraged man's hands, and two face each other for a reckoning. "It is then that Mrs. Harding definitely informs him that the child is Morton's and not his, and after Morton is gone and Harding again prosecutes him, Mrs. Harding then acts interestingly developed by the accession of a simple-faced, but in reality a very shrewd butter, who has taken the precaution to place the revolver in the dead man's hand, so that when the police come it is made to appear as a suicide, until accidental it is released and visited the night before the murder. For a while Mrs. Harding and Morton dispute as to who will take responsibility of the crime. Morton insists in shouldering it, and makes her choose between sacrificing him or being convicted herself, and thus ruining the life of the victim. He also fore the good natured Police Inspector Cochrane, who rejoices in the late arrival of two boys into his own family, and has a soft spot in his heart, fastens a final link of guilt upon Mrs. Harding, he shows her a way out, and spares him in humiliation of arrest. His report to the coroner is "accidental shooting." "The Law of the Land" is one of the strongest dramas yet shown at the Avenue Theater since the advent of the Lafayette Players, and the patrons of that popular house are sure to be impressed by the dayday performance, and will continue throughout next week, with the usual intinees.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FROM THE FRONT FROM THE FRONT A Couple of Interesting Letters from, "Over There" The following letters arrived a few days ago; one was sent by U. S. "Slow Kid" Thompson, who was for several seasons, featured comedian with the Tennessee Ten, big-time vaudville and the other from Edward W. Bailer, the other from the States orchestra, States Theater, and one of the best musicians that ever stopped when he came to a bar: "A. E. F. Sept. 17, 1918." A. E. F. Sep. 17, 1918 "Hello, Tony! Just a list to let you know that I am O. A. L. and lots of mail from friends through your publishing my address over here, and believe me, a few lines from our friends back there sure puts pep in the boys. Well, Old Roll Ton, everybody is doing fine, and would like to get a copy of the book, but once once while, so get busy. Say hello to Dotson, Greenlee, Jones, Old Time Darkies, Tennessee Ten, and the rest of my friends. I remain, as ever, your friend, and I will always be there." MUSICIAN U. S. THOMPSON. Hdqd. C. 366 inf., A. P. A. 766, A. E. F. vla N. Y. "A. E. F. Oct. 9, 1918, "Dear Friend Tony; No doubt this is a surprise to you, for I am sure that you have not been expecting to hear from me. However, realizing that you know and come in contact with many people, and endeavoring to make this letter a long way, or writing time is scarce over you, You will convey my kind regards to the other members of the Defender staff. "Well, old man, you should be here to write the events for the Defender. There are a world of available incipients which to base anything that you might wish to write in which I am very pretty, especially as to scenery. It is interesting to study the people of the land, and it is also interesting to study 'Sambo' since he left home 'Sambo' says 'home ain't nothing like this', and the writer agrees. The natives here look curiously at Sambo, and why of his colors: they no doubt wonder why he is blessed with so many hues. "Tony, you should see our boys count their money now; he no longer counts it in fives and tens, but it takes him a half hour to buy a dime box of sardines. We worry that I can not tell you what the worth of the coins are; if I could, you wouldn't wonder why he has trouble couting it.

The team brought a whole shower of unpleasant gibes down upon one of the most capable players of this or any other age. The team was the last straw with Foster. The mission to a baseball ground for the evident purpose of "riding" one or more of the players will be absent from School. Foster is manager of the American Giants' club. Neither his money or his presence are desired. It might sound strange, but the players arrive when a manager stands for his players rather than for the money the fans bring in. Yet this is exactly what the big manager declares he will do. Result of Experience "Rube" Foster has been a ball player and a good one, and he knows what the team needs to do for the sensitive player. He intends to get all there is in every player, and he will not permit "hugs" to thwart him by playing with the player, off-edge. "I have seen some of the best players in the business almost mimed by a crowd of spectators who say Foster, "and I am not going to any risk of losing good players by JONES A. C.

I mean to have a team that is out and working all the time, and they will not be molloycdy and will not stand between them and insult. A Good Policy "Rube" Foster was one of the scrapy sort of ball players. always hustling and as this spirit he will endeavor to engage the players. His determination to protect his players is an innovation which may well be copied by other managers. It might be that the players will be the plest of the players will appreciate the effort on the part of the manager. It is even-tempered player is affected by the pressure of the spectators. Some of the greatest players have been dubbed crashes because the finally allowed the idle players to go after them and be eneded to go after some of their tormentors with their fats, or gave as good as was seen.

FRANK POLLARD OF FAMOUS FAMILY OF ATHLETES IS IN THE LIMELIGHT By Dave`Wyatt. Athletic circles, especially football, was boomed to an exceedingly enthusiastic degree at Camp Grant when Frank Pollard, brother to the famous Brown College football star, Fred Pollard, also the renowned Leslie Pollard, who in appearance at camp was a halftack, and is heralded as a comer by all who have seen him in action. Captain Omar, athletic director, captain of the football team, acquisition of such a promising performer as Pollard's induction so far indicted. The lad up to a short time ago was a captain of the college institute, but evidently, being given a chance to display his wares, Captain Omar has planted his hopes upon victory. He throws his machine against Camp Taylor at Cub park, Chicago, Nov. 9. All Around Athlete. The Pollard boys first gained renown as Lane High School athletes, both as football and baseball players; they were runners, not players as runners. Fred Pollard, before going to Brown University, was looked upon as a fairly good baseball player, but he was never become interested in games among the elite. Pollard did he acquire a large degree of fame as a college hall player; however, he was a grand high school player; he was a great athlete, and in our humble opinion, I doubt if an athlete ever lived who was more efficiently adapted to greatness in athletics. Pollard was a great memoirs of his deeds while a Lane High school lad, and later star football player at Dartmouth. Leslie played in the pro baseball games, and he was a star of the first water; he could field, but and throw with the best of them. He played in position games, the infield equally well, but he perhaps adapted to third base. Leslie Pollard would have, no doubt, acquired fame equal to his brother Fred, but condition never was considered up to the standard of Yale and Harvard in football, and for that matter, neither was he in the big leagues either retrofitted with ability or Brown came to the front with TENHESSEE Dyersburg, Tenn., Nov. 8, — Mr. and Mrs. S.

Other Student Athletes. Among the other high school boys who have acquired a goodly measure of fame, Chicago speaking, are Sam Ransome, not a leaflessant with the old Eighth Regiment and is at present in service overseas. Ransome was famous about fifteen years ago as a football player, not a leaflessant with Park High School teams. The names of Ransome, Hammond and Eckersall—the latter two white—were upon the tongues of all athletic devotees. Tom Hammond, the hundred and forty-ninth Field Artillery in France, while Eckersall is a sport writer on the staff of the Chicago Athletic Department, was said to be the best, but Hammond annexed more fame later while a student at Ann Arbor, Mich., and Eckersall acquired more prestige at the hands of his employer, and was considered one of the best football players ever under the colors of the University of Chicago. Hammond attended athletic operations to Madison, WIs., but was soon forgotten. However, both Ransome and Eckersall tried their hand at semi-pro baseball later, but neither was a successful catcher in high school, and handled the shoots and slants of Fred Beecoe (white), who afterward became famous coach for the Cubs, Philadelphia, Buffalo, and was revived two seasons ago by Cleveland. Dr. Hale Parker Dr. Hale Parker came up some years later, but, unfortunately, conditions were not the same. Parker was both a football and baseball player. He was prominent in both at the University of Michigan and at the University of Virginia. Parker underwent injuries early in his career, and in a measure prevented him from gaining the prestige which, no doubt, he was endured. Parker is now a player. Parker I have taken an active part in baseball for a period covering twenty-six years. Parker is the first ball player of color that could be said to have made a difference. A throw, that readily takes a front seat with the best efforts of any baseball man in the country. You will appreciate what I am driving at if you watch me.

That particular play and the steal base has given his league the importance of a whole hour of the importance of a play to discourage or it break it up. Hale Parker had the remedy, and there wasn't a chance in a game when he was right-handed for the squeeze with that follow on the slab and any sort of third baseman to support him. Parker was right-handed, and he made a man on third. Ed Walsh, king that he was at nipping runners off first, could not hold them on third. Well, Parr caught as many runners off third as a game in which he caught four runners off third, one man a big league, and he pulled him twice in the same game, holding a runner close to third base, and if we say positively that Parker could one anybody, but it is not being the importance, then you will hand it to Hale Parker.
