NINE DEAD, 29 INJURED, IN DETROIT FIRE
$5,000,000 BLAZE TURNS FACTORY INTO SEETHING FURNACE
Detroit, Mich., April 29.—(Special)—Nine men are known to be dead, and 29 others have been admitted to Detroit hospitals following a fire which destroyed the Briggs Manufacturing plant on Harper Ave. early Saturday morning. The fire, one of the most spectacular and disastrous in the history of the city, was still burning in the factory and adjacent buildings
as late as Monday, while the company officials worked side by side with employees and firemen in an effort to rescue victims, many of whom were still in the burning plant.
Fire Follows Explosions
The fire followed a series of explosions in the plant room on the fourth floor in what was known as the new building, and the six fire trucks, where another series of explosions occurred. The loss to the huge plant, where automobile bodies are made, and the adjoining property is estimated at $500,000. The exact cause of the explosions which set the structure in flames has not been determined, but it is believed that some form of spontaneous combustion occurred in one of the varnishing rooms. The blasts came at 8:15 and rocked the building. Colts in the Detroit Street railway barns a half mile away flinged and the windows of neighboring buildings were shattered. A large section of the plant wall was blown away, and the sky. Immediately dense funnels of thick, black smoke gushed from the building, and in a few minutes the low-hanging clouds were filled with smoke. A fire estimated at 50,000 persons was watching at 10 cclock, while police were forced to set up lines two blocks from the scene to prevent blindness. The buildings where the flames centered became a raging inferno of heat which could be plaintly felt for more than a block, and the debris was haunted, their faces and hair slicked.
Firemen Save Buildings
2500 Workers in Plant
More than 2,500 employees were in the building when the fire started. Alarms were sounded throughout the building, the firefighters trapped, fled in an orderly manner to the streets and yards.
Hustin Lewis of 822 Adelade St. was at work in the firefighters' where the disaster had its start.
Other men were at work near him. He noticed, he said, that sparks were coming overhead blue lights commonly used in modern plants.
"There were 12 of us in there," he said, then the flames, I backed up and started for a wi'ow. I couldn't beat the flames. Before I got to the window the explosion came. My hand seemed to pick me up and throw me right at the window. That's all I remember."

Hundreds to Turn Faces From Dixie
Birmingham, Ala., April 29. —Because of injustices in the courts, discriminatory practices in public places and street cars, over 300 people of our Race have made preparations to leave this city, by May 15, according to a canvass made recently. Graham has been painted as a "hopeless city" as far as progress for our people is concerned. Skilled and semiskilled laborers are gradually being sheltered by the whites, who are the majority of whites who have been forced to give up farming and move to the city with an侵入性 element, long trained in prejudice and Jim Crow methods, who stopped plowing after locking up the stock on crops to seek jobs in the city.
Men and women of our Race, performing the same services as whites, are paid such low wages that a company following the rule set by all southern towns, is attempting to reduce it. It is reported from good authority that Birmingham is attempting to have an ordinance passed that would place laborers for the city as an unskilled laborer at $100 per month, while mem-

(Staff Correspondent)
Greenville, Miss. April 29.—(Special) Sweeping southward at a terrific rate of speed, the maddened flood waters of the mighty Mississippi continue to drive thousands of both races from their homes and possessions. Already 10,000 square miles—an area as large as the state of Maryland—is inundated.
Hundreds of our lage have perished in the flood and the lives of hundreds more are endangered as epidemics of measles, whooping cough, mumps, scarlet fever and chickpea pox in the refugee
Two Hundred Dead
Two hundred lives, according to conservative estimate, have been lost. Several hundred persons, many of them elderly, have been killed in Mississippi, Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky. Fifty thousand more are in danger zones awaiting rescue. Property damage has been estimated at more than $500,000,000. Despite the debacle which has overcome these southern states, race hate is continuing to add to the burden of poverty in the region. And our people are double sufferers. When the first warning that the levees were in critical condition were sounded hundreds of men and women forced to leave their homes and possessions to top levees and prevent, if possible, the flood. In many cases their work has been in vain, and the towns and destroyed their homes. Their white brothens have been allowed to make necessary preparations to escape the dangers of the
Greenville in Plight
Greenville, Miss., with a total population of 12,000 people, has been turned into a swirling Venice by water lilies. The water is as high as 14 feet in some parts of the town. The situation here, with the entire water supply up to 100,000 cubic feet, allows clinging to trees, houses teps and camped on the levee, is desperate. Levee bighops have last Thursday after all efforts to save it failed. Hundreds of convicts of our Race were brought here and worked frondlessly night and day to prevent the levee from collapsing. Delta Oil Mill, Planters Cotton Mill, and other manufacturing plants gave the alarm that the levee had broken. They made a rush for safety. Twenty-five hundred persons found their way into the county courthouse and jail on Monday to refuge in department stores. In New Town, that section of the city largely inhibited by members of our community, the levee's way to the levee, which is a short distance away. Those who were unable to heat the rushing water climbed trees and house tops to await
Building Collapses
Two hundred men and women of our Race barely escaped death here Friday when the Pyrian hall, Nelson and Calley Sis., collapsed from a government boat rescued the men, women and children before the building went down. Between seven and ten thousand persons are encamped on the lower level of the building, government boats are transporting the white refugees to Vickersburg and other points of safety. Members of our Race, without food or clothing, been warned, remain quiet and await their turn.

Arkansas City. Ark. April 29—The 2,000 inhabitants of this city sought refuge in other nearby towns. Water is standing as high as 14 feet in some sections of the city.

CHEAT ALABAMA MOB OF LYNCH PREY SOUTHERNERS FLOG AND TAR WOMAN OVER DEBT
Attorney W. I. Sherrill and Sheriff J. E. Clem, both of Athens, Ala., who came to Chicago after Garrett Richardson, wanted in Athens on an alleged criminal assault charge, were cheated out of their prisoner Friday when Chief Justice William J. Lindsay of the Criminal court freed Richardson on a habeas corpus petition filed by his attorney, Harold M. Tyler. Richardson's discharge by Judge Lindsay was the second one he has received. The first was granted by Judge Benjamin C. Dawkins of the United States district court on a habeas corpus petition filed in New Orleans last Au-
Make Hard Fight
Authorities of Athens, Ala., have been endeavoring for almost a year to get Richardson into their courtroom by attempting to assault Mrs. W. G. Martin, a young white woman, who was a passenger on the Pullman car of which Richardson was on the L. & N. railroad in April, 1956. The indictment presented to Judge Lindsay by the Alabama attorney general alleges that alleged crime charged against Richardson. The document merely stated that: "The grand jury of Limonets co-commissioned that leagues the finding of this indictment, Garrett Richardson did assault Mrs. W. G. Martin, a woman, with the intent of forcibly to marry her against the dignity of the state of Alabama." Indented on the back of the indictment as witnesses are the names of the man, the woman, and the man. The latter was Richardson's Pullman conductor, who, the perer asserts, framed the assault charges against him, and wrongly growing out of personal
Sees Faulty Indictment
Judge Lindsay examined the indictment and the certified copy of Richardson's discharge in New Orleans, where he was court obtained by Attorney Tyler. The indictment, dated Jan. 19, 1957, was returned nine months after the alleged crime, which was said to have occurred in April, 1926, the attorney pointed out. "Is that all you have?" Judge Lindsay inquired, referring to the indictment whichanned neither date nor place of a crime. "That is all, your honor," the Alabama attorney answered. "The indictment is drawn according to the facts of the crime, or place of a crime in an indictment is not required by our laws," the attorney explained. "The man would have no chance to make a defense." Judge Lindsay pointed out, "If that is your law in Alabama, I wouldn't send any man back there. He would be unaware of the blanket charge. Richardson is discharged." Judge Lindsay added. He further ordered the fugitive warrant in the hands of the police and the defendant. Disappointed in the loss of their quarry, the Alabama attorney, the sheriff and his aid announced their intention to return for Richardson. The court obtained the date and place of the alleged crime.

Row Over $5 Stirs Mob to Crime
Alexandria, La., April 29. While all available military resources, and citizens of all races in this section of the country were being pressed into service to stem the flood that is rapidly spreading over Louisiana and the entire South, a group of white men in this city found time last week to indulge in the favorite pastime of the South with the result that one woman, Mrs. Berta Reed, is now near death and her husband, Willie, is in hiding, preparatory to making his escape into the North.
If she were to successfully her body a mass of wounds and still covered with tar pooled on her, it not expected to recover. In the police and coroner of Alexandra by Willie Reed, was the result of a 55 debt Mr. Reed is said to have contracted with him to be brought to the statement, months ago borrowed the sum to make a trip to Texas to visit her mother, who was ill. Due to the severe condition, she was not treated with her last week, when she returned to her home and immediately made arrangements, the terms had appeared to be satisfactory and the incident was thoumless closed until last Wednesday morning. Conscious state, was from an automobile in front of her home in the Sonia quarters. She was readily admitted that she has been in her own experience.
See Another Angle
Another side of the affair has been given to the Marina in parish, particularly Logg, who are now investigating the outrage, declaring that they intend to bring the guilty to justice. According to this version, the white man had been jogging as a method of stunning the tale of migrations that has been going on steadily for the past few years, and that he would return immediately from Texas it was rumored hereabouts, that she had gone to that state to make arrangements for moving to that state, and that they then northward move. I once her return she was accused by whites, who demanded that she gives an account of her life, and that she maintained that there was helping her sick mother it was said that threats were made upon her from several angles.

(Continued from Page 1)
minutes before the woman was found in the street she had been in the Chinese laundry of Joe Sam at 12108 Watt Ave. and had jumped or was thrown through the plate glass window of the laundry. She is said to have worked there as an fronter. Sam was arrested.
The case contains elements of mystery which the police are trying to solve. Sam and the woman were said to have been alone in the place just before she went through the Chemman alterity Eward Dunn, has advised him to keep silent. The woman died without making a statement. There were no witnesses, so what developed before window crash is difficult to determine.
Booked for Murder
Sam, however, was booked for murder. The coroner's inquest, held Monday at Doty's morgue, "21 E. St. at 11am," and at the Ninth district police station. The woman's body is now waiting identification at the morgue of L. J. Browne, who held there until Monday, April 23, the undertaker said. At the time of Sam's arrest, before a statement from him, the Chimanman is said to have stated that the woman came to the laundry about 10am, then threatened and demanded money. When he resisted and gave an alarm the woman, frightened, attempted to escape by jumping through the window.
Find Victim's Clothes
The Chinman failed to explain why the woman was undressed. Her clothes were found in his bedroom in the basement, and she has been advanced that the Chinman was at war to assault the woman after disrobing her and that she fled from him in terror. She was at the Pullman hospital across the street from the laundry, said she heard the crash of glass and saw the woman in a stooped position run down the street near the Watt Ave. and 112th St. About twenty minutes later the police brought the woman to the hospital. Nurse Susan is described as being brown skinned, five feet six inches tall, weight 150 pounds, two gold bands around her hat, a lavender shirt and a brown sweater, slippers and a heavy brown coat. Miss Lillian Cannady of Watt Ave. told the policy that she recently saw the woman on a south bound Cottage, told her, told her, Miss Cannady said, that she worked in Sam's laundry.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 25. "It has always been a recognized truth that the printed page is a mighty factor in the prosecution of any great movement, and more and more the world is coming to appreciate its localization," Williams in an address here Sunday. "However it never occurred to few of us that one paper should be so redemption of the face as it has during the last few years. I know of no single factor that has done so much to redeem our people from southern Africa as has the Chicago Defender. "This paper (the Defender) has been persistently courageous in the fight against the face and whatever redemption in part that has come to us who have been moved from a condition of service life, the Defender should by all means praise for its noble work. The editorials have rung true to conditions and have been so well timed to forcefully meet the needs for which
"The Defender, as no other force I know of, in recent years served to awaken a new consciousness of the terrible condition under which our nation had seen these conditions hardly realized the terrible meaning of it all. Before there can ever come a forward movement of any people there was a lack of awareness. This the Defender has admitted has given us a fearless and magnificent exposure of systems, customs, done for the lace. The Defender has long along a part of the southern white man. These exposures played their part in arousing the ice, sympathy and support of persons who had never really come into a full appreciation of the South.
"The paper gave us our greatest organized effort to have our people rise up against a land of insults; men better land in which they might and do enjoy the finest privileges and advantages of life. Better homes, better schools, better colleges are ours now after the long and tireless effort of this paper. It's no special test of a strong character when a man assumes a position that will be greatly accepted by the people. But the really strong man is the man who takes willingly the unpunctual course of right when he knows that it will sometimes insult understandings from even his own people.
"This fearless path of right the Defender has taken by reason of the man's insults and suggesting the course and method of attack. No one could have

Plans have been completed for conducting the movement in every state in the union. Seventy chapters of the fraternity will conduct campaigns in various sections of the country.

The go to high school, go to college campaign bears the endorsement and the approval of leading men and women. It bears the endorsement of the late President Harding. Two years ago the sixth campaign was opened with an expression from President Coolidge. This year hundreds have participated in business and professional men and women, ministers, authors, publishers, scientists, captains of industry, and leading educators. A large number of the churches and organizations have offered their whole hearted co-operation.
This is one of the few movements having for its purpose the uplift and betterment of humanity which does not require a large number of people must be stated that most of the members of the fraternity sponsoring this drive are themselves attempting to gain a start in life. Even so they are making sacrifices in order to go to high school, go to college campaign operates to the benefit of all boys and girls, regardless of race or creed. It is an American institution that provides for girls. It benefits white the same as black. Many white people are to be found participating in this movement each year. Sometimes they move to the health center, helping themselves in places where there are no members of the Race. Some of the features employed this year include novel forms of advertising, such as posters, billboards, and banners.

Delegates at Ministerial Conference Received in White House
[PRESIDENT NEWS SERVICE]
Washington, D.C. — The delegates attending the Interdenominational Ministerial alliance, in session at week, were extended a formal greeting and congratulations to the executive officers. President Coleo also expressed his faith in the leader's efforts to "make opportunities are large and your responsibilities great."
The national address by Roy C. Russell of Washington, founder and president of the national organization for Christian education Wednesday. The address was a plan for stricter adherence to the 16th Amendment, which if adhered to, he said, would tend to diminish the economic and political benefits of the nation.
Rev. Russell outlined a plan for extending the work of the alliance to indivisible alliances in every locality, which will ensure the alliance program to foster better relations with the Peace Defender will be the focus.
Rev. Anom Philip Stokes, canon of Washington, catholic addressed the delegates at the alliance program to Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Meredith Johnson, president of Howard University, executive officer.
He was answered by Rev. A. C. Garrett, long as the uneral leadership rests in the hands of the ministry all other matters. "It is the minister who most nearly grapples with the interest them to him," Rev. W. B. Wiseman of Washington, D.C., told Rev. W. B. Wiseman of Washington, D.C., that "the vote is badly needed in a campaign and consequently of salts of elections which may be of great importance to the prosecution who has the intellectual capacity, combined with the qualities of a best position to render this service."

SOCIETY
By BERTHA MOSELY LEWIS
Easter week certainly had its share of important events. The Lenten season, although small affairs were countenanced and approved, put a decided ban on pretentious social gatherings. The first event was the wedding, covered with important affairs. First came the banquet at the new Palmer House in honor of Clarence Darrow. All groups of social prominence throughout the city were interested in it and our own group was well represented. Then on the same evening was the Boy Scout banquet, which was represented. Our own big event was the men's amateur minstrel at the armory on the same night. And in spite of the fact that many of the faithful patrons of this charity were required to put in appearance at one or the other of these exceptional banquets, the ministry crowd seemed to over. At the Tampa evening the Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon revitalized at Orchestra hall engaged in the fashion show, sponsored by Miss Helen Thomas at the St. Elizabeth hall, which drew her and Anderson, helped her aunt chaperon Clarence Darrow in the form of a banquet at the Vincennes hotel, 4477 Indiana Ave. is to entertain Friday afternoon at bridge, Edward Ritchie and Mrs. Calwell the first annual formal party on the same evening at Forum hall, club held at the Metropolitan theater were also on the Metropolitan theater was also on the Wednesday schedule.

Join in Tribute to
Tuskegeean
Tuskegee, Ala., April 23—The first annual founder's night commemorating the founding of the National Business League 27 years ago, met with enthusiasts and the auspices of local business leagues throughout the nation, recording their support and the secretary of the National Business League. The founder's night was proposed by the executive officers of the league with the hope of calling attention to the contender for the national league to the economic life of the Race. In many cities the night of April 5. Dr. Tuskegee observed this observation. But other dates were also used, some cities observing the contender recently as a national leader. The program consisted of addresses on the history of the league, readings from the first and last meetings of the league, recent meetings before the annual meetings of the league, in Boston in 1900 and 1915 and on a program for the league. In a number of cities the observance of the opening of Trade week, with the opening of special week, was held with the special event winding in and to induce trades wherever Trade week stresses particularly the economic value which the entire Race trade with one another.
"I am happy," writes Emmett J. Finnley, university and former secretary of the league, "to have the privilege of joining the association with Dr. Washington to make the Business league a force of America. Since his passing the good work for which the league stood and served has been accomplished. I revitalized Negro economic life in every section of our country. I hope the league will continue to write to say that the "most heartily approves the plan suggested in connection with the league observe founder's night. Among the many great and useful things proclaimed, interest and welfare of the Colored people, I think that none is of greater importance than the National Business league." With such general approval and encouragement of founder's night met that plans will be arranged for even more extension ofance next year. Mr. Holley announces.

Marriage has become a pastime to the average person. It seems to be a way of connecting people on it nowadays is personal satisfaction and convenience. There is a need to consider it, and for people to consider it is purely individual. The password seems to be, if I can’t use it, it’s not. I don’t want to be butterfly, who has gotten her wings singed by flying too fast. From your experience, you can see extremely conscientious and also very sturdy; consequently you deserve a job that tells us everything happens for the best. In your case I can see the need for a light-headed, dizzy mother. Their skin in order to obtain decent shelter and protection for them and herself. She deserves another. The woman who has been charitable to you is worthy of your interest and love. She is without friends and funds now, so thinks you are still enough to listen to her plea. She thinks you are not that sure that she is dumb by divorcing her.
Happiness is elusive and short of life, but it is worth the trouble, trustfulness and sincerity, not just occasionally, but constantly. Married life takes without getting the idea that the other fellow is always all strong and good, but not always. "Oh that the powers the gift would give," if such was the case, I am sure there would be more happy marriage, but is wrong, too. You are both wrong, but in different ways.

vise you to leave your husband and take the other man. I will be disappointed with your husband all of a sudden, even considering that he is meant to be in love with you. If you are sensible enough you can readily see the type of the address, flow can he trust you, when you allowed him to steal the money you will naturally, if he can do it, so can some other man, you can divorce him. But get your business straight; do not take the man who knows just how much money you have accused by a girl of being the father of your husband. He will keep it in your face if you do.
Dear Princess; I have read your wonderful column for six years and believe you can help me, am a man of your kind, and have accused a girl of being the father of your child. Before that time I was well thought of by my friends, even the boys, have turned their backs on me. I was ever expelled from school, I have tried to win the people's respect back, but to no avail. I even went to school to turn them the same. I married the girl, though I never felt I was guiltless. I have tried to count the number of count of her father. There have been similar cases since then, but none have been convicted. What must I do?-Worried Blue.
I know you have heard it said that many people see me. I can account for your ease by saying it was more than likely that you made it singular and embarrassing. You initiated free love, with its uncontrollable law of association caused you to be ostracized for your actions, and the same act (it was done before you did, tom, but you not caught), but you were in one in your set. Whether you were guilty or not, you must suffer. That is always the most narrow and unforgiving. You are young and if you were old it would not matter. You are capable of overcoming your所posed error, but not in your home town.
Dear friends: I am the recipient of many remembrances for my part in the affairs. All o'f things is through my corrections for my part in the affairs. I hear from you, Who knows—Princess.

countered about the strongest opposition "Little Bit of the Face" ever experienced. Some traveling "divine healer" was jamming in three thousand people around his ten nightly, preying upon the murder of the face until the law stepped in and arrested all connected with it. "Sillas Green" did its smallest business since playing the city, to my way of thinking, and the show didn't even get over so forty. Earl Winkling, a musician before gusta refer to as "link Papa," certainly has a monopoly on the father sex, and believe me when his friends come around and he gives you an invitation to meet you" why Earl is leading you on to some other place. Earl is managing the Lenox theater. Three new musicians have been added to the band and two girls to the chorus.
Manzie Campbell passed through Sparta, Ga., the other day, the home of his friend. Although at this time she was trying to keep up with the activities of the "Silips Green" show, in reality my heart is with the untouched people of Mississippi. Mississippi is a great contribution, regardless of how small it may be, from the bunch. Mississippi is a wonderful sate for the people of Mississippi. We have hundreds of friends there. I have personally been the unexpected, invited guest of a K. K. K. party, Florida, Florida, the flood of Uma, Artiz, and I know what its all about.

New York—Willie Lance and her orchestra have been in the city for a week. They are from Los Angeles, and the orchestra has been at 11th, 4th, 6th, and 7th Street. Farrel and Chadwick are now playing at the American theater, 25th St. and 18th Ave., and will tour the entire city. We all wish her a speedy recovery. Gertie Saunders, star of "Bed Hot Summer," Monday, April 18. At New Jersey, we will visit New York after dosing with the above show in Chicago. At present she is under a physician's care, who has advised her to discontinue singing due to her illness. Ethel Dancer and Ethel Waters, celebrities who need no introduction to the theatrical world, have returned to Chicago. We will be there weeks in Chicago, where they played the Schuberts' Princess theater and the Cafe De Paris. Miss Waters is scheduled to make a concert, also Columbia records. In July she and Mr. Dancer will sail for Paris and prepare to do the continent. Later, on return to London, she will do a series of engagements.
The Dixie Jubilee singers appeared in concert at the Moravian church, the Dixie Jubilee night. Most of the numbers used on the program were arrangements from Eva A. Jessye's new book, "My Spiritual Night from station WA8C, giving a program of plantation and folk songs and jubilies,." He has taken over the management of W. C. Handy, music publisher.

Kansas city, Mo.—In a storming rain that practically stopped all traffic the Mary Mack's "Pickings From Dixie" company played to a near full house at the Lincoln theater Monday night, their opening date. This talented entertainment is a whirlwind dancing show, with all kinds of chops and chorus, and several broadly funny comedy scenes to provide ample mirr. Prominent in the company are Mary Mack, whose numbers include Drew Bancroft, the comedian of droll personalities, Babe Bancroft and Tittle Matthews, in specials: Buntin and Ourley, the stepping dukes: Fred Clarkson, Henry Brown, All Dangerfield and Henry Brown, All Dangerfield and Henry Brown, and fast but not least the famous Kid Lunch and his "Blue Howers," a group of real musicians. The chorus deserves a social medum and their dancing was a pleasure to behold.
with all kinds of exhibitions by print-makers and scenes to provide enrichment in the comek. whose numbers include Diane Matthews, the artist, Tille Matthews, the artist, and Ouely, the artist Clarkson, Henry Petfield and Henry Petfield, and Joost the famous "Blue Howers," a pirans.

Dusty Murray and his Brown Skin Baby Dolly played a midnight ramble at the Ebbon theater last Saturday to fuse in their apuahape. Dusty and his company have been laying off in the city about a month, evidently being forgotten by the bookers of the show, and the traction at this house, Bebe Daniels, in "A Kiss in a Text," provided breezy humorous entertainment for the audience. With such able players in the leading roles, flanked by others of equal skill as forewors, the piece rushes on along high gear to a satisfying conclusion. With a double-board ball game between the Monarchs and two white teams, we journeyed to the Gem Theater Sunday evening and witnessed one of the most dramatic encounters in "Across the Pacific" is a screen adaptation that is really worth while. A war version of the days of the Philippine insurrection, showing the capture of Aguinaldo, relief chalice. The writer's interest was more than casual for the reason that I was a soldier in the hands at the time, he captured in the battles under Fusen.

Popularity vs. Notoriety
monials to the pluck of John T. Gibson. Many persons will say that Mr Gibson is a lucky showman, that he is the pluck of a plucky showman. He achieved success where a dozen failed. Added to Mr Gibson's pluck is a rare business acumen, intelligence, persistence and commitment to qualifications and he is bound to succeed, while the less pluck fellows stand about, surrounded by a cloud of people. Luck is that force, element or combination or series of conditions, circumstances or experiences wherein there operates a force, element or combination to the physiological senses or mental faculties. Luck is said to occur when without apparent cause, something happens that is favorable or otherwise not favorable. These situations effect one or more persons. Science and reason join hands to proclaim the universe as one government's power can alter. These laws affect the affairs of men, who unletered in the laws, ascribe to "luck," "accident" and "chance" all phenomena which they cannot explain.
It requires an inquiry into causes not physical to explain the success of the physicist among men, in addition to the physicist among women, are cognizant. I inequality is a rule of life. That we might become equals in the field of physics, advantages is a dream utterly futile. However, equality of opportunity is quite a different thing, for therein and perhaps exceed, the status of our superlors. At the Gibson theaters the proprietors assume the persons of Mr. Musins manager of the Standard theater, and John W. Wallace, college graduate and lawyer, manager of the New Gibson theater.

The new price of $1.50 for this volume, reduced from $2.00, should maintain interest period in the course of more than one purchase the volume at the latter price. They may now enjoy the wealth of self-help and inspiration offered by Mr. Musins' by placing their order without any further delay. This volume will stimulate, as nothing else of your finer but dormant emotions.
A. W. Ware said, "I have ever gained the most profit and the most success, and have made me think the most; and when the difficulties have once been overcome, these are the books which I have read in my memory and understanding, but likewise in my affections."

Salem T. Whitney
Salem T. Whitney indicates favoritism. One must be loved, celebrated, desirably sanctioned, esteemed, credited or approved of, to be popular. Necessity implies infamy, dishonor designee, disgrace, debasement and shame.
Jesse James was notorious. Buffalo Bill was popular: Rudolf Valentino was popular. Fatty Arbuckle was notorious. Rudolf Snyder is notorious. Too many girls and boys in the show business apparently are unable to differentiate between popularity and motority. Rudolf Snyder they awaken to find themselves notorious. There are certain rules, customs, traditions and conventions by which society is governed, and when one elects to ignore these, that one is all more notorious than most popular. When one is popular it is possible to hold the affection and esteem of the public indefinitely. But a notorious person passes on like an Oakland bear, and the revived for the only scar he leaves upon the landscape. Drunkenness, lewdness, dishonesty, unreliability and other forms of misconduct on the road to Sobriety, vince honesty, reliability, friendship and love are popularity builders. It is up to the performers whether or not they choose to choose with the cycle to certain people, they prefer popularity or notoriety.

369th New York Infantry Track Meet Uncovers Stars
By THOMAS W. YOUNG
New York, April 24.—(Speech!) When the recording serieth writes down the names of the heroes who made history in Harlem's indoor basketball court, Randy Taylor, New England 40-yard champion; Charlie Manier, conqueror of Harold Osborne in the recent Milrose games; Phil Edwards, holder of the national championship; and the flash who pushed Lloyd Hahn to set a new world's record for that distance in the Senior National A. A. U. championships, and Gus Moore, former New York schoolboy who is in bright colors on the first page.
They won this honor Friday night at the first annual Diamond athletic meet, saged by the 393th Infantry A. In the old 15th regiment armory on 143rd St., if the future may be judged by the class of competition, number of contestants, interest of spectators, and the size of the field. The will henceforth be reckoned with a center of indoor track and field activity. Besides the marks set in this first meet of its kind in upper Manhattan, one world record is captured off the field by Willie Wittler, a title holder, and Finnish-American distance star, crashed his own record for 5,000 yards, covering the distance in 13 minutes 29 4-5 seconds, nearly 10 seconds better than his
Randy Taylor, Tufts college flash met with a mishap early in the seminal heat of the 79-yard handstand on the first play, and was diced on on the floor about 25 feet from the tape. However, he was permitted to run in the final, since he was not in the 79-yard zone features of the meet. Overtaking the field about 29 yards from the finish Taylor rushed to the tape a scrum from the high school, who crossed the line in 7-3 5-seconds. Blanchard had a 9-foot handover over the Tuns sprinter, whose victory was not registered off the tape, the circumstances under which he ran.
Two unfavorable events robbed Phil Edwin, New York university star of history, of victory. Widely held not of training he entered the meet not in the best condition. Then, to avoid having the finish on a curve, the author, when William Warden of the 101st signal battalion, budding white runner who has thrice within a single week crossed the finishing line first, and the tape, Edwin had not in reality been defeated in a 1,000-yard run. Edwin, starting at scratch, with Warden, passed to the way to the front in three laps. Not until the final turn did his ink of conditioning tell on him. Then Warden passed to the way to the front in three laps. Running as of yore when he was heralded across the country as the greatest of schoolboy wonders.

American Giants Tied Two All in Series With Detroit
PART 1—PAGE 8
The American Giants left for Detroit Thursday night, where they open a five-game series against the Detroit Tigers and on Monday startling Saturday. For results of the games call Douglas 0697 or 0698. The Giants will play the following Saturday in Cleveland and the series, and on May 14 they return home against the Birmingham club, which has Thompson, Streeter and Poindexter in its line-up.
Tuesday night the American Giants and the Detroit Stars stood even steven in their count of games in the first series of 1827. Each club had won two games. Three of the four games were real ball games, but the game Monday was anything else but. So there you have it.
Saturday Willey Poster hurled the opening and set the Detroit club down 2 to 1. He looked up and beat Drake in a hurried ball, who looked like a real ball club, to three hits. The visitors' one run came in the sixth when Jones walked, Johnson fanned, Harding flew to Dials in left and Turkey Stars spanked a triple
Both the Giants runs came in the opening frame. After two dead Brown walked, Russ doubled, putting Brown on third. Hines singled to right and the Giants run counted.

Los Angeles, Calif. April 20—Bert Colima started on another of his famous come-backs by taming a tiger that had been caught by a Tiger Tiger by name, a dusty party who hails from somewhere in Pennsylvania, was outboxed and outwhelmed by the Whittier Mexican in the Tiger Tiger proved to be a vicious little middledweight whose aim was not quite so unerring as Bert's, and as a result he took a couple of trips to the caravans. One came soon after the gun sounded in the opening canoe, and the Tiger rested on one knee for the count of nine. Thereafter the dog owned, but the Tiger wheeled off with another knockdown in the eighth round. A series of right and left hand projections in the face of the Tiger's undoing in this spasm, and he listened to another nine count. Colima was wild to pump him full of more holes when he arose, but the bite was too strong for the bitter end. He even succeeded in walking off with the last session, opening a cut over Colima's eye and bringing a nasty stream of blood which considerably annoyed the
Colma won the scrap as much with his head as with his hands. He took advantage of Thomas' inexperience, stepping inside of the latter's punching nicely to the body and head. Thomas did a little Ace Hudkins lurping to the body, but it was not sustained enough to be of great value. However, if any one of his hands landed squarely the Ticker would have given Bert what Bert gave him—a free ride to the canvas.

ATHLETICS
Aiming at the conference championship, the big guns in Louisiana and Mississippi are barking each week, beckoning, and the viability of the state capital, where the Southern Cats make their homes. With two victories over Leeland and one each from Mississippi, under a warm Louisiana sun with a commanding view of the title. Of course the Tigers from N. O. F. will have something to say about who will get the cup, but they are also victories to catch up with the Cats. Leeland invaded the Crescent City and departed with the scalp of Navier tucked safely under her belly, to their superiority. Taking all things into consideration, the Leandites are to be commended for their excellent showing both in baseball and football. Navier, with a team of greeties, seems doomed to go through their schedule without a single victory. The Catholics show up to win the fight and determination to win under fire. Iverson and Chester are the only veterans left from the 1925 champions. Smith and Augustin being ruled ineligible
The most pleasing bit of news that has come to our ears in a long while is the news just released by the Xavier athletic authorities that the team will be w/$75,000 stadium in the near future. Such a stadium will fill a long-felt need, for it will mean that our New Orleans colleges will no longer handball classes when they wish to bring teams here from other sections. Up to last year games were played at the beautiful lilleman park, but last season found the team as lilleman park was no longer available, and their only alternative was the dilapidated Tokay Tea park. The Xavier stadium will come and bring and increase their authorities' success in their undertaking.

Detroit players' squabble with umps Monday afternoon at the American Giants park over a reversed ruling which held up the game for a half hour, caused fans to clamor at the box office for "their money back" when the Detroit club picked up their bats and walked off the field. Not since the American Giants have used the former playing grounds of the Chicago American League club which was in 1911 has any club walked off that field. The Detroit owners when faced with the loss of the gate receipts and a fine of $250 went to the club house after Manager DeMoss who came to the umplest room and declared he didn't order the team off the field. He faced a fine and asked to play the game under a protest which should have been done a half hour previous. The trouble came in the first of the three games with eight out, Daniels got to the right touch and in go from first to third on a missed

CHEVALIER IS KNOCKED OUT BY GODFREY
End Comes in Fourth Round
Los Angeles, Calif., April 22—In the presence of a few witnesses who paid cash to see the festivities and a few who won't. Bad Taylor, the owner of the universe, knocked out Young Nationalista in the fifth round of a scheduled 10-round fight, and George Godfrey flattered Leon Chevallier in four rounds at Wrigley field last week. These two fights topped off a colorful card of four flat skimishes which really deserved a lot better patronage than they received. The attendance figures probably will show less than 5,000 paid admissions. After playing with Chevallier, a 209-pound black boy from Oakland, like a car with a mouse for three pounds, came to the fourth round and smashed his foe to the floor with a barrage of head and body punches. Down for the count of nine, Chevallier to be punched by Godfrey's right. Godfrey swung a wicked left hook square on the Oaklander's heezer, and it was all over. Chevallier was still at 100 and Godfrey had to help his ewes out of the corner. Harry Lee worked this hunt.
Jimmy Lavalent won a six-rounder from Otley Spencer, a mid-seventh inning victory in the future of the preliminary was the funny bunt between Jesse Stafford and Stanley Thompson. These birds, a pair of light heavyweights, as loose-jointed and skillful as a company of truck drivers, stugged a great fracas.

Before any protest could be lodged by the Giants, the field umpire was to the umpire in chickens in the play was between "Andy" and the bag and his view partly cut off. The umpire in chief called Danielle out. DeMoss and the entire Detroit team stormed the umpis in a verbatim chickery. The play was in chief; 2, Rile; 3, Jeffries; 4, Russ; 5, "Andy Gump"; 6, DeMoss. All players with exception of Russ, who is warming up his pitcher, were Detroit players.
Just before the argument terminated, the team was ordered to finish his time at the bat, which he refused to do, leaving for the club rehouse with the rest of the Detroit team, some of whom claimed they had been ordered not to finish his game, but they wouldn't say anything.

The game was long drawn out and Glass and Brewer, opposing moundsters, were continually in trouble. They had been bounded and two men out, Rogan sent himself in to but for Brewer. After two weeks, the team was called, Hawkins who was on the end, started for home as Glass started his small-like windup. Glass then stepped off the mound and threw to Brown.

The Monarchs scored their first run in the second stanza when Mottel dashed home while Miller hold the ball after taking Young's tilt back of them. From then until the eighth it was a hurling duel, with Irosan pitching airtight ball and Stamps tightening up in the pinches. The visitors jumped on Lefty Schoenfeld and all scored three runs. Joseph started the round with a double. Three singles were the contributions of Mottel, Hawkins and Young to the eighth inning rally. Hawkins gave a daring exhibition of base running in the last frame when Holmes took third and home on successive pitches.

Keefe Pens a Few Words in New Orleans Paper but He's "All Wet"On A. A. U. Rules
By FRANK A. YOUNG
Meet Wm. McG. Keefe of New Orleans. He writes for the Times Picayune, but is about as well informed as the matron as his ancestors book in Ireland. Bill McGoogle seems a bit up in the air over the fact that the Anateur National Union didn't bow to the national meet of 1927 should be a "illy white" affair. He deplores the fact that northern athletes have with Napheke Ideas allow our youth to compete on their teams while "the sons and daughters of the licked to a frazzle confederacy" still grope prior to 1863. He forgets that every year southern high schools enter northern interscholastic games where our boys walk off with many of the first places he hasn't washed away all their coin, many southern institutions will send men to the Penn relays, where loads of our boys will not only be seen warning us, but will be out there after first places.
Watch them Saturday, April 30 Billy, and you may learn a few things. "I quote in part from Wm. McG Keefe:
"The apparent determination of northern institutions to force Negroes into amateur competition with white youths of the South is the way of intersectional games.
"The issue came up when Tulane went to Chicago to play with Northwestern team a Negro who rated about an eleventh classed substitute. That Negro was especially determined to get out and play with Northwestern team when Tulane was on the field. He wanted to be able to say he had played with southerners.
Tulane's officials notified Coach Tulane of the situation if the Negro was on the field in uniform and Thistlewite, who had little or no use for the Negro as a football player, very likely. By telling the Negro he would not be needed on the football team. The Negro turned in his uniform—another thing which didn't make sense. He tried to make capital of it."
We might inform William that Thistlethwaite did just what he says he did and despite the fact that The Chicago Defender told the man that of Thistlethwaite's so-called friends claimed Moore did not tell the truth, but William let the cat, which was partly out of the bag, come out. William that Glen Thistlethwaite's "color phobia" cost him the Notre Dame game, holding out Verdell until after the Notre Dame game, putting him in Vercell and Colin who both won their letter "N" last year, Williams, are not white, and neither do they come from Ireland. Thistlethwaite is supposed to have resigned from Northwestern. Get that "supposed to have." You can read and understand the English language beggary. He is now at Wisconsin. William seems to think DeHart Hubbard was the cause of the color line.
We forgets all about Cecil Cook of the St. Louis, a national 440-road champion; Charlie Majors, indoor high jump champion; Gus Moore, mile runner; Randy Taylor, another dash winner; Randy Taylor, another dash winner; and all members of the A. A. K.
Perhaps Wm. McKee of New Orleans would better inform his readers that when the South said all it needed to compete in New Orleans that the heads of the organization in New York were well prepared to make their stand and demand—they being well acquainted with the fact that the southern white man fears real competition. Mr. McKee might be interested in what Charles B. Parker says in the New York World of April 23, which we reproduce intotox. He reported yesterday at the local headquarters of the Amateur Athletic Union are indicative, every section of the land except the far South heartily approve the request of New Orleans authorities to bar Negro athletes from the national track and field championships which were scheduled for that Louisiana. "Telegrame, letters and telephone messages pouring into the Broadway office of the A. A.," that organization, and several of their number-notably those from this city, Chicago, Omaha and Newark—all expressed a desire to furnish the annual games
"The messages pointed out the prominent part played by Negro athletes in international competition, declared nothing could be more unfair than to deny such men opportunity to compete for the national titles of the land they represent in international competition.
Issue is an Old One
"The Negro issue is not now to A. A. U. affairs, although the current case is the first instance that this聘业 ship meet from n. city or section for which it had been scheduled.
"Just 20 years ago the issue was held at Jamestown, Va. On that occasion J. B. Taylor, Negro athlete representing the University of Pennsylvania, was threatened with a court against white contestants in the 440-yard run. Taylor, however, not only participated in the trials but went through to win the race."
Issue Is an Old One
Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY
stars this country has developed. "The first time the Negro was allowed to attend of A. A. U. authorities was in 1910 in another set of championship games south of the Mason and Dixon Railroad, where the organization conducting the meet went to James E. Sullivan, then president of the A. A. U. demanding contestants, only to be firmly told to read the American Constitution and the A. A. U. rules and to continue to contest. "The 1914 championships at Baltimore also found the issue once more before the late president of the A. A. U. organization, the qualifiers for one of the hurdle events a Negro athlete and a southerner. The latter, who was captain of the 1914 championship of Virginia, went to Sullivan, declaring he would not compete in the final unless the Negro was barred. Sullivan said that the Negro would not be barred and that if the Virginian was not prepared to show superiority in actual competition he might be better prepared.
Negro Athletes increasing
"Since J. B. Taylor came to nation,
Negro athletes have been increasingly prominent in track and field sports. At the last Olympic games, six Negroes were members of the team. Negroes Dellart Hubbard, not only won his event—the broad jump—but set a new Olympic record for the event, which made him one of the most popular athletes. In 1920 there were two Negroes on the American Olympic team—Sul Butler and R. Earl John, both whom scored places, although Butler in so doing seriously injured himself.
"On the list of record holders there are or have been many. Negroes. Negroes hold the holder for the running broad jump; Howard Drew is joint holder of the recognized 100-yard dash record, and Chirlie Brookins holds the world's 220-yard hurdles and the 220-yard hurdles.
"Hubbard is national champion as well as world's record holder in the 1980s, who will be cooled, another Negro, intercollegiate door champion and national indoor champion in the 440-yard run. Other Negroes who have held national titles in the sprints: J. R. Taylor in the sprints; J. R. Taylor in the 440; R. Earl Johnson in the five-mile run; Philip Granville, a Canadian Negro in the seven-mile walk; and DeHart High jump and DeHart Hubbard in the running hop, step and jump."

WRESTLING
(This is the seventh of a series of articles on wrestling for the beginner, as told by the physical director, instructed by Mr. and wrestling at the South Side Boys club.)
THE JACKKNIFE
In this article I will endeavor to show my readers two ways of using wrestling and developed and perfected while working with my sparring partners.
The jackknife may be secured after an opponent has assumed the "onmotion" and group your opponent with both arms around his waist just above the hips. Place your right leg before your opponent's legs, with your right knee above your left leg, work your right leg from knee under his left leg and foot, shift your weight forward and pull forward to the left with your right knee release, and pull a half nelson. When you have drawn the opponent's left leg forward as possible, reach under and across his chest from the left side hand, reach forward and downward, which will in back of his head. Using a three-quarter nelson, pull his head down and back and forward and downward, which will in back of his head. Jackknife position with both shoulders down and tremendous flexion at the waist line. Once placed in this position and tremendous stiffness and fall will usually result.
A jackknife may be taken from the front standing position and when applied correctly it is more effective in station. Following a series of felts, coax your opponent to try a flying mare. Extend the right arm toward him. Step with step toward you and grasp your arm with your right hand bring your arm over his right shoulder. When he does this take a long step to the left and forward. Your arm is now in back of his head. As he heeds forward to draw you over his back, reach down with your left hand and grasp him in back of his left leg at his left leg and pull down on his head with your right arm: grasp the fingers of your left hand and drop to the left leg and force his left leg down over his head. This hold should invariably result in a fall.

FANS JEER FULLER WIN OVER SUGGS
Award Booed in Bean Eaters' Paradise
By DOG ALMY
Boston, April 25—Sammy Fuller of the North end came through the gloves barrage with Chick Sugars of New Eagle, and the fray last night at the Boston arena. But instead of the usual cheers that have greeted the upward surge of Boston's Villa, the award at the end of the season was a welcome victory of hooping and hisses as well as applause. The south shore fans didn't like the verdict.
True, the local boy nosed by the upward surge of the Sugars, was a favorite at that, odds hardly warranted, but his margin was so slight that it looked to many that the Whaler was entitled to the verdict.
With round Sugars had dropped Fuller to the floor for the count of three: in this session and the seventh and eighth he had wildly outpainted the Bostonian. In the sixth and third fourth were very close. Fuller copped the first, but it was the two final rounds, the ninth and tenth, when the North end Latin got out of the way and turned the tide his way and won the favor of the ring officials. These were Sammy's two big rounds, also two of the best in a bout which was unsuccessful, so soo it to be disappointing.
It had been expected that Fulfer would tear from the first bell-that mannequin, but the contingency developed. Sammy started to tear in the initial session, began to bang for the Colored boy's body with the usual Fulfer knot. He then slapped him that stanza, but in close, also at blocking and countering at long range, the North ender quickly discovered the down a bit from the chap who defeated him a year ago, he still is able to fight, box, think and handle him. He was not so scared, who has not ceased to be dangerous. Starting with the second, Fulfer again rushed and scored a left hook, and sticking to the defensive, plugged him right merely with stiff left and rights to the head and in close banged hard to body, frequently using the punch, rabbit and getting away with it.
It was a slow stanza, however, as Fuller had begun to realize that the Colored boy was not to be trifled with the young man. Fuller trying to force Suggs to lead and the Colored boy seemingly content to wait for his chances. There was a lot of damage and the round was out even Neither did much damage. The fourth opened with a clinch—there was a little damage, but trying to force Suggs to rush him which the Whaler refused to do Suggs was waiting for something—seemingly was trying to play cozy on the youngster—very little happened.
The fifth found Fuller circling Sugga as usual—Sammy saw his opening and rushing in banked home left hooks to head and body. He rushed the Colored boy shammed a stuff left to face and all in a twinkling the affair developed into a fight. Sammy rushed in and at close quarters was banged and slammed to body with short hooks and uppercuffs. The Colored boy catching many of them on his forearms. They mixed it all over the ring and Sugga drove Fuller into the ropes. pinned him there with a body barrage and then crashed home to the floor.
It was a clean, fair blow and a the North end boy up and sent him sockdoller. but Fulll claimed four Walsh. Walsh refused to allow it, however, and handed out a count of three. Fulll scrambled back onto his pins and the hell end the seashell. There was a lot of fighting from that time on with the sixth a ripping good round, the shade favoring Suggs. Walsh did a lot of making other good fighting round. Sammy was willing enough and trying all the time, but many of his hooks went down. Walsh did a lot of making a seashell at times with each taking his turn at driving the other into the rope. Suggs shot 'em too fast and accurate, for the youngster, and had the round.
Sammy came out in the ninth to dring the victory out of the fire. He opened with a left to the body, took a small hand with two more lefts to the body, in close. Suggs fed 'em back, a lot of 'em. There was plenty of plain fighting all the way through with Fuller taking the stance. The tenth and final was another big fighting round with Fuller living up to his VIII reputation and slamming and banging like mad, taking all chances to bring his man to the canvas.
His left hooks to Suggs' ear shook him more than once, but it was not all one-sided, for Suggs, fighting back with the stanza, guided in the ring, passed back plenty. It was Fuller's round, however, and with the stanza before it did a lot to gain him the verdict.

Just now the leading candidates for the mile relay team, Bridge, Thorne, and Capt. Kenneth Hill, all of whom are capable of turning in 440 in 51 seconds. There are little hurdles from the point-of-experience Bridge, Langston and Hill are pretty sure to get the call. Bob Cox is sure to get the call.

unbeatable in these parts at least.
We are wondering just what caliber of team the Atlanta. Black Crackers are going to have. You will remember them. You will tell tallers last season. If they can arrange to station the sensational McArland at first sack, Charlie Hawkins at second, Ernest Young at third, and so on, corner, then Atlanta will give even the Birmingham Barons a tough battle for honors. In Geech Jennings, Joe Daniels and Charlie Clark they would have three mighty nine boys. Why not sign up these boys?
NEXT week we hope to be down at Tuskegee to get a glimpse of the splendid track talent that our Dixie team has signified intentions of being on hand, and all we ask for is a fair May day and the rest will take care of itself. We are represented and some fine marks are expected, to bet set up. Lincoln, A and T., Florida, Atlanta, Selma Orleans University, Orleans university, Morris Brown, Tuskegee, Clark, Fisk, Tennessee, Talladega, Alabama, Tulsa University, Dallas, Virginia, Daytona and Alcorn will all have entrants in this huge meet down in Alabama. When the first call for the ticket is made, some of the fastest men the Race can afford go through their paces before starting on the most thrilling of the dust storms to reject the Tuskegee relays—he there.

Stephane, who holds the pole vault, expects to better this mark in the open championships, while Andy Smith, the Infielder, 120-yard high hurdles, is counted upon to bring in a first in this event, with Howard Warring, James and one-two-three in the 220 low hurdles. The Howard university quarter-mile truck, 150-yard straightaway, has been the most favorable opportunities for new records in both track and field events. The track, which has been recently clay and clinders, is now the fastest in the East, and the usual large crowd of spectators is on hand to establish of new records for this meet.

combed Benjamin Shackelford for two runs, it was a gloomy day for the sluggers of War and far between. Smith disposed of 12 of the Wildcat sluggers via the strikout route, but he hit three batsmen and each of them scored. He and a scratch double gave Wiley one in the first inning. A hit batsman, a stolen base and a sacrifice added another in the second. A single and Shackelford's triple sent over the winning markers. Two singles, a stolen base and a fielder's choice enabled Bishop to count two hits. Murray's fielding was sensational, while two running catches by Davis in right were superb. "Mule" Miller performed creditably at second base for the Cats.

FAY SAYS
HOLDING UP GAMES
One thing that President Obama question of the National league wants to straighten out right away is the way in which ball players and some managers must interact. Away by the season to hold up games by prolonged arguments on questions of judgment by the umpires.
With the season not a week out we have had several instances of this already in the Detroit-American Giants! series in Chicago and the City-Memphis series in Memphis.
Time and again the Detroit batters wanted to argue on balls and the manager, left his place in the coach's box or from the bench to argue over some trifle and it is strutty against the rules of major league baseball. The public is slack and paying to see a baseball game and setting a series of verbal clashes for their money, at Chicago, the scene was disgraceful—then Tuesday, while the Detroit club continued to argue with the field umpire as to whether he second too soon on a fly to center, or whether he second too from third as one was at the plate. All were out in the middle of the field fussing. The score was tied by the play and it finally cost Detroit
Down in Memphis, Hawkins, Bognan and Joseph got to argue with the umpire up so long that the umpire threatened to forfeit the game. Then the umpire but the delays aggravate the public. Monday the umpire did forfeit the game in Chicago, and when the DeMoss held responsible for the gate receipts, which would have to be given back to the public, they got the team held and played the game out under a protest, but they won, 12 to 1. The question in the minds of the players is whether he played out as a regular game or an exhibition game? This the league have to decide. The question to a Defender reporter that DeMoss refused to continue the game and he then forfeit- until the league decides the question no, no game as far as we are concerned.
TUSKEGEE WIDE AWAKE
Hampton Meet May 14 With Big Entry List
BY JAMES B. CLARK
Hampton, Va. April 26—Hampton's Armstrong field will be the Mecca for trackmen from colleges and high schools throughout the eastern United States on May 14.
The big quarter-mile track and 220-yard straightway with eight lanes affords the last word in track equipment. At present it is one of the best in the country.
The track is awakening to their possibilities in the track and field department of athletes from the successes of men like Charlie Drew, Ertl Thompson, Brice Tay-Tay, John Carroll, Gus Carroll, and host of others worthy of mention.
A place, it will be clearly seen; must be provided where these eager athletes meet. Hampton has relied with unequaled success to develop such a place through the annual championship meets. They are like unto the Penn and the northern colleges of the country.
This year the relay races, involving many beautiful trophies given through the generosity of such men as Chicago Defender; Frank A. Young, sport editor of The Chicago Defender, and the Mme. C. J. Walker firm of Indianapolis, will be the bones of college football. Lincoln university has already expressed her intention of entering a large number of contestants. The team, which will gather that competition will be hard and fast, as Lincoln maintains one of the best relay teams among Colored colleges. An alumni university will also be a threat worthy of note, because of such men as Cook, who holds a number of dash records, and Slim Booker of sprinting fame. The mile high school relay has been an interesting affair. This race carries with it a gold medal and the handsome cup given by the Defender sports editor, usually the fastest in the meets.
The records of the meet are high, so that anyone that breaks one must put up a performance par excellence, all institutions and hunches the meet will far surpass all previous ones.
