Chicago Defender

RENEW BATTLE TO GAIN CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS RECALL DRED SCOTT DECISION TO SHOW FREEDOM TRAMPLED Hon. Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender, in discussing our duty for 1928 declared that "The Dred Scott decision cannot stand," quoting Lincoln. Dred Scott, his wife and two daughters were held as slaves in Missouri by Dr. Emerson, surgeon in the United States army. In 1834 the doctor was transferred to a military post in Rock Island, Ill., and took with him Dred Scott, who afterwards married a slave by the name of Harriet. Two children were born to them north of the Missouri line. The doctor returned to St. Louis with Dred Scott and his family as slaves and there he held them until he sold them later to John Sanford of New Dred Scott Fights On Finally in the circuit court of St. Louis county, Missouri, Dred Scott sued for his freedom and obtained a verdict in his favor. This judgment was reversed on a writ of error by the supreme court by Missouri. Dred Scott appealed his case to the United States court where his case was given a full hearing. On March 11, 1857, the decision and opinion of the supreme court of the United States was made public. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in pronouncing the decision of the court nullifying the Missouri restriction, or any other restriction, by congress on the diffusion of slavery throughout the territories of the Union, denied to Dred Scott citizenship or any other person "whose ancestors were imported to this country and sold as slaves," and denied to such persons any right to sue in any of the courts of the United States. In this decision the chief justice stated that the race to which Dred Scott belonged was so "inferior that they had no right which the white man was bound to respect"; that "the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States did not include the Negro in any sense where the term citizen is used therein," and further declared "that no state can make the black people citizens because that would be unsafe for slaveholders of other states." Concurring with the chief justice in this majority opinion, were Associate Justices James Moore Wayne of Georgia, Robert Cooper Grier of Pennsylvania, Peter Vivian Daniel of Virginia, John A. Campbell of Alabama, John Catron of Tennessee, with dissenting opinions filed by Associate Justices John McLean of Ohio and Benjamin R. Curtis of Massachusetts. Justice Curtis' dissenting opinion is perhaps the most complete and logical interpretation and construction of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States of record dealing with this question. Endangered Future He declared that "it would be inconsistent to concur in the majority opinion when at the time of the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, all free and native-born inhabitants of the states of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina, descending from African slaves were not only citizens of those states, but possessed the franchise of electors on equal terms with other citizens." This Dred Scott decision placed the Race in a far more precarious position in regard to its future in this country than at any other time in its history and it was at that time that Abraham Lincoln in his response to Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. June 26, 1857, declared at Springfield, Ill., that the "Dred Scott decision was erroneous, false in logic and rendered for fictional and political purposes, and that the Dred Scott decision cannot stand." --- Proposed by the 38th congress, Feb. 1, 1865, proclaimed and ratified Dec. 18, 1865, by the Proclamation of the United States, came the 13th amendment which abolished slavery. The next congress, the 39th, June 16, 1866, proposed the 14th amendment, which was ratified by congress in 1866; then came the 15th amendment, which was proposed by congress Feb. 7, 1869, proclaimed and ratified March 30, 1870. These amendments were necessary to remove the effect of the Dred Scott decision upon the Race. Now, at the end of 1927, the DRED SCOTT This noble slave, Dred Scott, fought for his slave, and while he lost he gained, because if it had not been for the Dred Scott decision we might not have the protection of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the "United States Constitution, which are the only life savers to which we can look and appeal. Read about him and the conditions existing in our government at that time. beginning of 1928, 70 years thereafter, we are proclaiming for the 1928 slogan that discrimination, "Jim Crowism", lynching, burning, disfranchisement, concubinage and peonage, and all forms of discrimination and segregation because of race, creed or color, shall not prevail in 1928. We are law-abiding citizens and this cannot be done except in direct violation to the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States. We do not mean equality in weight, nor height, nor size, but we do mean that we are entitled to, and must enjoy equality in the enjoyment of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness and as to these we are the inferior of no man and are the superior of no man, but are the equal of every man. Let us take up the fight where Dred Scott left off and make this the 1928 slogan for America: "No denial of any right because of color and that discrimination on account of color shall not prevail."

A NEWSPAPER'S HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETINGS Newspapers are American institutions. Race newspapers are steps on your way to equality, fair treatment and elimination of racial prejudices. The newspaper that conveys truth, instruction, advice and information is the one worthy of notice. The news of this newspaper is handled quickly, concisely and accurately. This newspaper, the editor rightly says, must have the same value each week as far as news interest, editorial worth, features, cartoons and everything else is concerned. If a newspaper happens to belong to a race or group, its duty is to fight anything opposing that race or group. We often carry news articles, editorials and cartoons that are perhaps worth cutting out and remembering.

The two white youths were Anceil Wylie and Logginus. The shain boy was John Wylie, the employee of C. P. Wyatt. The body of the shain boy was found in a cotton patch near the Arkansas county attorney. Logginus, knowing that the Coleman boy had the money, lent his shotgun to the Wyatt boy and sent it to the attorney. Logginus, knowing that the Coleman boy had the money, took the $30 from the dead boy's pocket after shooting him on Dec. 12. Wyatt told the district attorney that he took the $30 from the dead boy's pocket after shooting him. Discovery of the crime came through a brother of the Wyatt boy who had first been asked by Logginus to plot to his father when the Coleman boy's body was found, and the two boys, ready to leave their homes, were persuaded to give themselves up, it is STABBED TO DEATH Detroit, Milwaukee, Dec. 30—Thomas Davis, 23, of 811 Crowley Ave., was fatally stabbed during an argument last Friday in the rear of a poolroom at $21 Solvay Center.

It is fighting the brotherhood now in order to save its face, to stave off defeat as long as possible. This is natural. It has developed in the Pullman company has fought the brotherhood doggedly.

Sixty-five Years After Lincoln Leading Bodies Active Because of that general condition, leading denominational churches, social agencies, civic clubs and fraternal orders have set up machinery to help the public in uproading that depressed idea from the minds of people that there is such a thing as the "color line," which means death if one crosses it, according to an interview held by one of the staff correspondents of the Defender with an authority on constitutional law who resides in New York.

The ethical for him to disclose the contents of the will. Homer G. Phillips, prominent lawyer here, was appointed by the court to act as attorney for the deceased. He had furnished the required bond. Dies Suddenly Dr. McClellan died at his office at 2344 Pine St. of heart disease. He was 57 years old and had practiced surgery in St. Louis for the last 22 years. He was a graduate of left home to work in southern logging camps at the age of 14. A year later he entered the elementary school of Fisk university to start his career. He earned a degree of bachelor of arts in less than 12 years. Then he studied at the University of Michigan, followed by a medical course at Howard university. In 1991 he began his practice area as a surgeon great part of his earnings as a surgeon to hospitals and educational institutions of his Race. The People's hospital of this city was among the first to offer liberality. His last donation was to Fisk university, when he sent a check for $1,000 for a special fund. Opens Doctor's Safe Not finding Dr. McClellan's will at two banks with which he did business, Attorney Owens got a court order obligately to open the state at the courthouse, where he resided.

The attorney, among the surgeon's holdings, according to Owens, were a large commercial building at 2607 Lawtor Avenue, Burlington Ida., near Big Bend Rd., where he formerly made several thousand dollars a year raising fish. Dr. Oral McClellan said that he knew nothing of his brother's will and had no lien of the value of his estate.

PART 1—PAGE 2 PORTERS SAY THEY'LL WIN BATTLE SOON Victory Is Forecast in 1928 (Continued from Page 1) them more determined and resolve upon victory. It is well that the brotherhood did not win too quickly; anything truly is probably chiefly anything else is probably highly. The bigger the fight, the bigger the victory. The Pullman company has a right to assume that if a group of grown-up employees, intelligence, a deep enough sense, enlightened self-interest, the spirit of stick-to-it-vee-ness, courage and intelligence, wages from $72.50 a month to a point where a man may maintain his family according to decent American standards, reduce their hours of work from nearly 400 a month to 240, the regulation traps a reasonable pay for overtime, to fight unwillingly two, three, four, five and if need be, ten. Other railway employees have done, such a group does not deserve recognition, respect, decent pay and company, like all other corporations, with their workers, is not going to give the right to work for them. The porters, like other workers, have got to fight for every cent, every concession, every complaint, get, and this is should be. The Pulman company is making $20,000,000 net profits yearly out of the company only sells the service which the porters produce. Out of the total company has been able to increase its capitalization from an original investment of $25,000,000 to $136,000,000. It has dividends since 1897 over $24,500,000 and some $64,000,000 in stock dividends. Its notoriously indefensible investment of $150,000,000 from the public in the form of tips, since its founding ranging over $150,000,000. It is in the form of preparatory time over $100,000,000. No one will ever be able to compute the money the average porter does not know from time sheets and therefore, cannot determine when he is underpaid and how to correct it. Even when he hasn't got the time or the patience. Case Before Commission One of the most recent strokes of strategy is the organization of a network of fraternity, sorority, young teachers, doctors and lawyers, social workers and junior school leaders, special training class procedures into the facts and principles, the purpose and mission of the brotherhood, special training class procedures into the facts and principles, the purpose and mission of the brotherhood, so that they may inaugurate a veritable crusade of economic knowledge for the brotherhood. The brotherhood also realizes that it must prepare the porters for new responsibilities, duties and obligations that must be fulfilled honestly, industry and intelligent initiative of the porters and mids. It has faith in its power to serve the brotherhood, the company, and the comfort, safety and well-being of the passengers. Our faith is undaunted and unconquered light on till victory is iron-clad. And we wish to express our deep and sincere gratitude to all agencies for their support and spirit and courage we march on. Join in Defense of Porters The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters announced that Frank P. Porter, a former member of the Porters with Donald R. Reichberg of Chicago and Henry T. Hunt, former mayor of Cincinnati and member of the old Porters, had been appointed before the interstate commerce commission in behalf of the claims of the Pullman porters. Porter was appointed during the war by the late President Wilson as joint chairman with ex-President Taft of the United States and the chairman of the industrial relations commission. During an investigation conducted in 1915 Attorney Walsh subjected the late Robert Todd Lincoln, son of the famous connexion company, to a most searchable cross-examination on the matter of the porters and the Pullman company, which certain testimonies were drawn from Mr. Lincoln and the other officers of the company to be greatest value to the Pullman porters. i JUDGE BORELLI PLAYS SANTA CLAUS TO NEEDY THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IS SUPPORTING A PROGRAM FOR HOME-OWNED MOTORCYCLES.

Prosecutor Grilla Bandit Efforts of the prosecuting attorney, Sidney P. Brown, to locate the stolen items at Lonestar were all in vain. The confessed burglar exhibited unusual self-control.

The police said that he informed them that he had been released from prison and that he had been prompted to loot the store.

In the important industrial communities of the north and west, test men and women experiment with the new methods, the attempts to secure work for the large number of unemployed whose conditions have been practical, unfulfilling." 1927. Among the important efforts made to meet this situation was the creation of a committee in New York at the Park Avenue Community church, of which Dr. John Haynes Holmes is minister. This committee forms the committee and composing a number of important persons heretofore not actively interested in a program of this sort, began its work with appeals to Electric Light and Power Co., the New York Edison company and the New York Telephone Company, with the hope of securing employment for the company. These companies do not employ them. The committee set out earnestly to secure telephone operators, readers and gas meters and clerks in states. The other ventures in this same direction were industrial campaigns one in Milwaukee and one in Springfield, massed men and women through service clubs, the Manufacturers' association and the Association of Commerce and Industry, their club was called to the need of additional lines of employment for our race. The personal managers of pubs and restaurants were interviewed and general managers of industrial corporations were appealed to with the result that calls for employment were received at the headquarters of the Urban league of that city. Two large corporations have been employed in employment of them. One of these, the Ford Motor company, has employed a salesman in one of its New York agencies; the other, a reputable manufacturer, has reached definite decision to give jobs to our men when the spring weather increases the volume of gas and oil business done by this company in which large numbers of them live. ...

The Rev. George E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church, contends with various services in a masterly manner. Buried in $125 Suit "Livewire" was buried in an expensive steel gray casket.

THE MUSICAL BUNCH BY DAVE PEYTON Imposing Leaders To the players I want to make say the same resolution. Lend what support you can to your team and the team we want it done. Make time; come on the job properly groomed; attend to your duties while you are on the job; son or rebel from an intelligent leader. Let both classes try to make 1923 a greater year than the last one, but you must be careful not to take your employees in the most gilicious manner. Keep the hat on your heads and try not to get the swolled head. But you must not get who come in contact with you. None of us are Theodore Thomas, Frederick Stock, Nathaniel Finsch, Hugh Macdonald, and many others. We are just beginning. These great men claim you never master music, and those who are living today will never get the big head over what little knowledge we have of music. Yes, we have done wonderfully. We have done great opportunities we have had to learn music. Here is one of the greatest treasures, we graduate soon. Just like you, we have to get to know a blow jazz and tune a button, we think we are flushed musicians. We stop studying; we are graduates. We are great and the head swallows that is our finish. Dunch, we are all wrong and during the coming year we will wish you all a Happy New Year. Ray Pickens, the drummer, and Ed Bailey, the pianist, are with the Male Smith show and radio greetings in the studio to the band's day just had a birthday. He says just how old he was. Well, this writer knows, but refuses to tell. Orchestras, Beware! In a chop suey case in Chicago is something which caused alarm to a writer several days ago. I stepped in and asked the singer in every corner for the orchestra and the singer. I asked the gentleman who screeches me where the music was coming from the door. It was a huge box. I stood there in amazement and finally inspected the affair. I found an inscription in the record. It was reproduced through radio tubes of high voltage coupled up with vacuum tube amplifiers, this modern invention the importer. The reproduction is perfectly natural, the dance records sound as if orchestra were sitting in front of you from an invisible invention. I heard Louis Armstrong play "The Heeble Jeebles" and start dancing it, then I sat in the whole wait the process. And it has volume, too. L. J. Andres, the inventor, came in and I spent several hours taking it, then I sat in the whole training feature in the dance halls, cafes and other places where music was played. And I pretended Canton, St. and Picard were a dead issue until this Amphibius was installed. Now it is a rendezvous for music love. Every orchestral effect is brought out clearly in the Amphibius; the big bass tones of the tuba ring in reality, the drums the horns, the timpani. The music is wonderful and the only real emotion yet offered to the musicians. The Viaphone seared us a bit, but it fell off the tuba and the hold of the amplifier too cheaply.

A very enthusiastic audience, which Many leaders wonder why their efforts to maintain an orchestra jointly are so difficult. are to blame, but they are unconscious of the reason that they them- morize them. The blame for a man blame for a man may befall them. PETER H. BURGESS There are many times when players become discontented with the way the game is played and other impositions in it. In these cases, we will be headed readers with positive advice, but who have been victims of dumb luck. As a rule this class of players is not well equipped with the players. The intelligent conductor keeps his mind in a studio channel with little time for use. Embarrassing Situations In the orchestra there may be players who know more about the theory of the musical profession than the leader. When this fact becomes the organization. The musician who knows will not tolerate illiteracy of the orchestra and will dozing methods to gain his point and to assert himself as leader. The poor musicians, in support, try to swallow the limp and the argument passed by, not ended, by a mountain of objections. The continues until the pot bolts over. The players cannot stand any longer with the leader; they cannot work with heart and soul, and this keeps up uninterrupted. Indeed an embarrassing situation for both the leader and the players. It is with no ability and no intellectual training can get to the excited position of orchestra conductor. The leader both the leaders and the players, but they have none to designate who should be examined for their knowledge of music and its theory and then their qualifications should be be. Leaders should be examined for their knowledge of music and its theory and then their ability for handling players. - The Big Head We all have opportunities. Some of us take advantage of them and sometimes keep us on the outside. There are certain circumstances which cause us to be thrown in good position, which makes problems more complicated, and the experienced learners have done nothing to the development of the art. They got their positions through luck. They got their positions through hard work, which makes them only job that required a large number of musicians. Consequently, with a large number of musicians, we have the best in the community. There were smaller units with not more than six or seven musicians, who were in an artistic standpoint, the only edge the larger unit had on the smaller unit head over a little success, Bunch, is all wrong. We cannot tell when we work with a group of musicians and ride a small. Our lives will be more beautiful if we go along in an unassuming way, accepting the lauers and riding with them. A musician is not married to any job. Most anything may happen which would close the job down in frustration. We have not many tasks to work. As a rule when we lose one we lose for some time and sink into depression and work under them and the best thing they can do is to get a job and bucket and round out their lives.

The home is no longer large enough to beautify house and property on Pasco Ave, valued at $15,000, but the sweet hand of charms reduced this sum to less than $5,000. The Niles Orphan Home The Niles Orphan home was built by Frank Niles, white philanthropist and philanthropist, who wished to contribute $35,000 to Race charities.

This institution is operated by Dr. L. W. Booker. It made one's heart ache to see these old folks, without relatives or home, other than the one they now occupy.

Second, in the old year of 1927, managers of such directors have little to play in the success of their books.

What the producers need for their offerings. What the actor needs for his role. What the manager needs to make business for his house. But what is really needed everyone has doled in truth and fact.

STAGE THE MUSIC By DAVE THE MUSICAL BUNCH BY DANE BENTON taxed the capacity of Phillips auditorium, cherished time and, with help from the musicians, singing the willing singers for just one more melodious outburst. This event proved by far to be the most unusual and entertaining musical program ever presented in Philadelphia. In all, I lovely, the master musician, as we all saw him, never appeared to be able to manage music, but we doubt that he has ever brought us a more versatile group than the faculty, a host of talent—every one of them is an artist within himself. The performance proved a splendid triumph, a mother, who many years ago was numbered among the faithful few of Mercy Hospital, which so willingly lend a kindly service to all humanity. Never before have we seen an artist blessingly chaining a song—and how. Jukes Bledsoe, the eminent bassist, and interpretation of Joe in the cast, never sang better than when he rendered the "Voha Bost Song" and interpretation which Mrs. Lawson, who possesses a rich contralto voice with a soprano range, Lakia a rose" in a double violin mute, rendering the verse in contralto with a soprano range. The idea was quite unmitten. Mrs. Lawson has personality and amos cow with her. The wife delivers her numbers is almost phenomenal. James A. Lillard, a robust tenor, owes his success to the classic chabalier, "The Lord Is My Light." The house fairly rocked from the early 1980s, this number, which was so ably sung, Mr. Lillard possesses a rare tenor voice, and pleasures to listen to his faultless concussion. Singing means nothing without understanding the lyrils of the song. The Perfect Harmony Four were well received in their marvelous renditions, pleased the vast throng. J. Lewis Johnson, a baritone by profession, masterly effort in interpreting two readings from the works of Paul Laurence Miller, and geology and believe me, it was no less than "Theology" when he spoke of the last resting place of Mr. Blesseau's second rendition, "Old Man River," assisted by the male chorus from "Show Boat," registered The piano selections by Mrs. Julian Mel are excellent and showed much well known concert pianist, rendered a number in finished style. He is quite a master of technique, the pianist's foremost concert pianist, charming his hearts with one of his mastery selections, ensemble sliding of the chords seemed to grip the audience. The "Cotton Field Song" stole all control from the pianist and that time would not permit encroaches. The rule was not obeyed and they sang it again. It fairly succeeded, and the program was a great program. The singers enjoyed the enthusiasm of the large number present as well as the audience enjoyed, the most excellently arranged program. The three ensemble numbers were arranged by J. Bornel Kürber, who is assistant to Mr. Voddery. Alex Scott Buried Alex Scott, one of local 202's charm members, was buried from Hall Friday, Dec. 23.

Graduation and departure from gaps in Baton Rouge, La., Dec. 28—Coach J. M. Nabrit, known as Pepper Box because of his pop and dash, and who received his football experience at Morehouse college and supplemented it by study of Big Ten western conference football at Northwestern university, faced a dismal prospect upon the opening of school in September, 1927. Graduation and departure from school had left huge gaps in school had retire huge gaps in the 1926 squad. The fact that only one conference game had ever been won and none tied had discouraged the remnants of that squad. With only 16 men out for the team and no center, quarterback, and only one experienced tackle on the squad, his hopes were low, for a game with the strong New Orleans team was only three short weeks away. Handcapped by a lack of serigraphy due to not having two teams but for practice, we met New Orleans university in New Orleans on Oct. 8 and lost a hard fought game, 6 to 0. Hicks, in his first game at all, attained as quarterback, did fairly well. However, a failure to kick at the right moment resulted in a touchdown a few minutes later. Referee Neal deplored Leland of the ball three times due to a lack of knowledge of the new rules. This is true, for that right in the presence of the coach of New Orleans and other concedes he acknowledged to Coach Nabit his error. We offer no alibl, but simply state what happened for what it was worth. In this game Coach Nabit was able to discover several weaknesses in his team and to remedy them for the Straight game. That game was Leland 0, Straight 0, and was played in New Orleans. Leland outplayed Straight in every department of the game, but missed one power-play kick and a scoring punch. We made 15 first downs to Straight's three. In this game the coach had formed the light field line behind the light stone wall the rest of the season, yielding only one to Jackson. E. Purpura and B. Purvura, tackler, Dorssey and B. McKinney, guards, and T. Powell, center. Back of that charging line pranced the light cavalry, Hickens, Jackson, back, and Smith and Brown, huddles. Next came the Alcorn Giants and before they had recovered from their surprise Leland had defeated them, Alcorn almost 20 pounds to a man, fake plays, delayed bucks, criss cross and hidden hall maneuvers outwitted Alcorn. Satin Top Brown rushed the ball. balls around end to the three-point line, but it ripped it over. Brown later advanced the ball 37 yards around end, Dupar added 15 yards through tackle for a touchdown. Alcorn scored once on the first half and again on a bad pass to E. Purvis, who was about to punt. Dog Smith on a fake play dashed through tackle, evaded the safety touchdown. The game was called on account of darkness as a result of constant bickering by the Alcorn team. It was a clearly hunted victory, for injuries sustained that day, spoiled the coach the rest of the season. actions of n. in the then of Land, in Baton in the last the field with and not the Sad to say, players as action. Our nced to the Buddy Saunder Jackie Fields The last game with Southern university, the dethroned monarch of our conference, ended 0 to 0, though Southern had a strong lead. Bad judgment in selection of plays in the scoring zone prevented us from whining. Southern had primed itself for a month for us with what would not be beaten. Each team had opportunities to score. Smith of Leeland and Mule James Harrison of Southern were the stars of a hard fought, interesting game. When already named, Mills played end, tackled and guard in various games as a sub. S Williams played guard and Leland Power played backhack as assists. The middle of the season, then coming with a rush he displaced McKinney as the regular guard. Logan Jackson, Monton, Forcel Pointout, Monton, and served in order to produce a team, though they never got a chance to play. Clark was our efficient truncher, while Dr. Alexander and Mr. James was also our official limo. James was also our official limo. Coach Nabit said: "The team was a hard tackling, charging, and running team, and a hard coaching, team, playing a hard clean game of football. Our guys were good sports, a fine bunch to play with, and we were nobly. The schedule was a little too stiff for the number of students we have, that Smith, the best batting coach, was in the best of the best in the --- --- --- Buddy Saunders Loses to Jackie Fields in 10 Rounds South, and will be the best as soon as he learns to kick and pass. E. Puris is the best end in the conference, but he is not the best in making 90 yards on a kick. Donato is one of the best guards in the conference, with Dorsey pressing him closely. Stewart and R. Puris make it look like a duck, but it is a demon on receiving passes. Dupas and Hicks are good blockers and live players, though E. Puris takes the prize. Brown was a fine running mate for Smith and caused fear in the conference. The coach selects the following as his All-Gulf Coast conference teams: FIRST TEAM E. Purvis (Leland) ..... L.E. Washington (Straight) ..... L.T. Susan (Seinfeld) ..... L.T. Adams (Straight) ..... C. Donato (Leland) ..... R.G. Flowers (New Orleans) ..... R.E. Flowers (Aloeon) ..... R.E. Chevier (Xavier) .....

Games in the league will be played at the different departments during months of January, February and March and places of play. Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 21. —A tough junior weltweight is Buddy Saunders of New York, but his toughness was no match for Jackie Field's cleverness last night. Fields won in a romp after ten rounds at the Olympic. For a few moments early in the battle for Fields, but Jackie soon solved his style and thereafter outboxed and outchased his rival. We were credited to Fields, while strong Saunders supporters might have given him one, in the seventh round Fields went to the floor, but it really was not from a punch. Saunders punches when the local boxer went to the canvas. He slipped, and while going down was hit by Saunders. Few would have expected about two minutes he looked like a fighter. He had Fields bewildered by his style. A few seconds later the boxer connected with a right to the chin and Saunders went down for a five count. From that point on Saunders cautious to make the fight straight. When Fields landed two body punches in the fourth round Saunders suit, Saunders spent most of the fourth round in one corner hanging through theishment. The fact that he lausted through the round is a tribute to his capacity for punishment and not to injury. A righthand punch sent Saunders Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY TATE, HARRIS, LANGFORD IN FAST WORKOUT Boxers Are on Coffey's Friday Show Mullen's Randolph St. swat foundry thudded with activity yesterday as the twenty warriors, who will appear in Promoter Joe Coffey's boxing show at the Coliseum Friday night, resumed intensive training, following the customary Christmas day layoff.

Virginia State Gives Letters to 16 Grid Men Petersburg, Va.

The banquet was elaborately decorated in orange and blue by Miss Carney, the director of the banquet, and were arranged as to form a large W encircling an S. The repast was of the Thanksgiving variety and the dress was arranged by the managed by Mrs. Smith, the assistant in the home economics department. Professor Rogers, chairman of the school in the characteristic suave manner. The administrative officers and President and Mrs. Gandy were also present this occasion. John W. Chambers, brilliant fullback, was elected captain and urged the men to follow him in the game. He cautioned them that to succeed means sacrifice. Retiring Captain Coley urged the men to do even better than he did under him. Harry Smith, senior center, in well-chosen words urged the team on to victory for another win. He urged three C. I.

Fields drove him to the ropes under a barrage of punches. He crowd switched to cheering Saunders in the seventh, when in a wild exchange of punches. Fields went down only to hop up and punch Saunders. He punched him off balance and he slepped rather than fell from the effects of the punch. The ten-round decision was a case of part of Bertlee Run Power, who awarded Joe Salas an unearned and very undeserved decision over Barlee Burrow and had seven rounds. He seceded cleaner punches throughout and carried the fight at top speed. Powers had made several poor decisions later, but he was able to be active while better and more competent referees are denied employment by the local member of the commission, Mr. Seth Strelinger. Little Huerta Evans, former athletic club star who made his professional debut in the special event, was the first player to route and plotted against a very tough trial horse. Johnny Cruz Evans made a spectacular showing. He forced the ball from a knockdown in the fifth round to take the decision. He showed vicious aggressiveness throughout. Clint Clemens, who took a four-round decision from Lau Companions. These boys were elected from the ring recently, but this time they found a speed, having learned their lesson. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER FAY SAYS- As the old year goes out and the new comes in we cannot help but allow our minds to wander over the past, and we have been pened in the athletic world during 1928, the death of Tiger Flowers was the biggest flare to us all. Hampton won the sixth annual C. I. A. A. track meet and for the third time the Walker trophy and that trophy becomes the permanent property of Hampton institute. Virginia Seminary copied Carolina A. and T. won the C. I. A. A. football championship and the Frank A. Young trophy for the fourth annual Carolina A. and T. won the property of A. and T. for one year. Tuskegee for the fourth soniccone year won the eastern football Clark baseball title and Alabama State the baseball honors. The Texas conferences Wiley supplied Sam Hunt, 1925 gold champs, and in Oklahoma Langston finished another undefected season. fitted set things afire in the East. Harry Wills didn't meet Dempsey. Flowers died without being given a chance to regain the title stolen from him. He was the only type of business man, resigned from the Illinois boxing commission to the regret of all followers of the game because politics and other things interfered with him giving him the title. Rightliner took Mr. Hunche's place as chairman and now he has resigned. Promoters have come and gone in Chicago and two really survive in the battle. Those are Mullen and Miceau Mallor. Nothing notable has happened on the field since the defeat of Delbert Hubbard's broad jumping. The baseball situation is deplorable. Rube Foster continues slick Ed. Hollen's health is broken. The crowned world champions of our group after a most miserable series. The public is thoroughly disinterested. The game needs a house-clearing, meet-and-greet, and series opened in Chicago, at which time the American Giants players are accused of attempting to force certain players into the series. Judge Hueston straightened them out. In Atlantic City the Chicago players were accused of not giving their best in two of the contests. Continuous squabbling has almost wrecked attendance. Delay of games because the manager continues to argue with wimpies needs to be halted. The demand of a manager to remove an ampire in the second game of a double-header or his team wouldn't be allowed. These things shouldn't be allowed to be identified with baseball in 1923. The tenacity of New York have the best pro team in basketball of the season. Clark University the best leader. We have lost many good men identified with sports during the year. Ex year, Kate added to the long list of sports that we know of, one forever, that our days are numbered, as the Bible states, let us try and do something towards building up and strengthening these institutions that men have given the best portion of their lives to build. Above all, let us pay less attention to professional sport and more to the college and university name. CHRISTMAS comes but once a year, some one wrote a long time ago, he said a mouthful. Now everyone has looked over the things they received and thought about the bills for the things they sent, the old world will revolve around as usual. We will proceed to go through the same routine again. Before we go into a detail of anything that you the story of two turkeys. They were born and reared in Calhoun, Ala., where one Red Dahoney, who used to be the whole line for Hampkins, now educates a lot of young folks. While we were in Atlanta we noticed that Red and Chief Alkens, the head chef and the boy helps many a boy through college by giving them unemployment, had their heads together. They guiltily ones—Big Red and Big Chief. No harm in being guilty that way at all, till the two turkeys arrived three days before Christmas and the wife and us fattened them by feeding them all day long for two days when they were on their time on earth and that we needed them for our Christmas dinner, so we drained Joe Abbott, who the nephew of the editor, and we proceeded five miles out to the house and got the coffees and red food of Henry Ford to be brought down to the butcher shop. Coming down the boulevard with a big cake, the couple was the model of Henry Ford's work model T sedan) the crude got from under our control and fell, breaking the tie that Keenan and led of Henry Ford's condiment. erected over the grave of the former world middleweight champion. We believe Mr. Miller to be sincere. We have every reason to believe such having had dealings with the authorities unjustified, sympathetic and his sentiment to run away with his good senses. The monument will get but few conservatives unless they radical change and investment started in. In the first place the founders and the heads of the movement are all southern white men. It slaps us in the face right there and then. A man who has been a community cheat drive, drives for hospitals and the like, is undertaking to put on the campaign, and is working. He isn't in it for the love he had for Tiger Flowers nor the love that he has for Walk Miller. The man will be most interested in the drive for funds is "his business." Atlanta "culled flowers" won't rally, neither will us folks in the North. Flowers was a wonderful fighter, a world champion, but he was a prizefighter, regardless of the fact that we love him as a fighter, he was a prizefighter just the same.

PRIESTLEY (Athletic Director, Xavier College) New Orleans, La., Dec. 27.—The football season of 1927 will go down in history as one of the 'best from a standpoint of close, hard-fought battles in the Gulf Coast intercollegiate athletic conference. The teams in general were up to the standard of former seasons, although the kicking department fell short, and drop kicking was almost a lost art. Augustine of Xavier being the only kicker to hold his own, and in most cases the strongest lines produced the fewest individual stars. Line plays featured the strength of University, University and Starlite. To New Orleans goes the honor of winning the first Gulf Coast championship, a victory over Le兰d and came back two weeks later to win from Le兰d. The victory is Straight, but in a successful season in the conference, also winning from Southern and tying Le兰d, the first time the Xavier. Xavier won her first game of the season from the powerful Southern Cats, lost to New Orleans in the second Straight. Alcorn tied -New Orleans university and was beaten by Le兰d. White Le兰d lost to New Orleans in the second Straight. Southern, with most of her big stars gone, had a disastrous season. Following men are placed on the all-Gulf Coast team because of their all-around ability through a hard and expecting schedule and the good fortune to escape injuries when Ends "This Rie" Harrison will go down on the record books as one of the greatest conference, his pass receiving ability staved off defeat in no less than two years of choice by the experts in unanimous. In Hill of Xavier and Johnston of Straight we find a close margin, Hill of Rie's speed and ruggedness. Tackles There were few, if any, outstanding tackles. Most of the good tackles were submerged in the team play, but the best were Harrison and Harrison are given the berths, but their margin over the following stellar performers could be measured with a hair: Cager of Navier, Cager of Orcad, University and Washington of Orcad. Guards At guard we find the outstanding linesmen of the conference: "lookie!" Xavier. Adams is a plant in stature, is one of the most feared men in the conference. Quarterlacks select them. They did, two men were required to take him out of the path of the ball carrier. Priestley of Xavier, a quiet man, worked in the fast charging Xavier line, his true worth can be confirmed upon examination exceled by his still faster ability to dineplay plays. Center Washington of Southern gets the call over a field comprising Hawkins of Alcorn, McGullin of New Orleans university and Arcona of Xavier. Quarterback Chenier at quarter is without a peer despite his strength. Of Straight, the game will miss this hero as this was his last year, his legendary foot on the court. When the star quarterbacks are mentioned, a Star pass, brilliant all-around performer, faster than a flash, former player, who was always a threat. Halfback This department is the storm center of conflicting opinions. Turner of New Orleans university, Smith of Leeland, Graves of Xavier, Adams of Straight and Augustine and Adams of Dixie, naming the first two narrows down to Turner and Augustine, both captains of their respective teams. Fullback At fullback we are forced to give the palm to a mighty threat, Brown of Leand, a back who gets the call over the redoubtable "Pete" Graves and Bolden of Straight.

SPORTS Tuskegee Coach Selects Players in Southeastern Association Grid Circuit Southern football again had a wonderfully successful season in 1927. Never before were the teams so evenly matched or the games harder fought. This is attested by the number of the games played, there being 14 such bitter struggles during the season. Tuskegee won its four straight championship and in doing so completed a series of 51 games since 1923, with the loss of one in October.

Although the Tigers from Tuskegee won the fourth straight championship, their claws were rather dull at the end of the season because of the stiff opposition all along the way to the title. While the cadets did not pile up the large scores that featured most of their victories in 1926, the championship team usually had enough power to win. Lincoln university in Tuskegee's inaugural season in 1926, the years was again beaten at the National league baseball park in Philadelphia, 29 to 0. Atlanta university in Tuskegee, 0 to 4. Fresno faced in sea of sea 7 to 0. The Tuskegee team probably was a shaded weaker than the wonderful line-up of 1925, but the champions played smart to the end and had plenty of caller to go with the team's smartness. Atlanta university had a successful year. The intersectional game with forward university C. Howard was 0, 0, and Alabama State Normal, Talladega college and Morehouse college were defeated in turn. The Crimson lost to Tuskegee and the Browns, a field more suited for ducks than football. The games were played with Fisk university, Clark university and Morris University. Morris is set on spenlard material for next year and should turn out another good team. Tennessee State college and a promising season, C.

The enormous demands for food made by Bottoms have been causing poor house guardians much concern in their struggle to keep from going into the house.

I hope you get that flea!" was the advice, the suspected murderer gave to the police who shot the Bellevue Arms apartment, following a clue.

All Colored people would have been secretly or publicity indicted, according to location, but indicted, however, no one would have been charged. Race riot would have followed.

The parade designed and planned by James Edsale, grand dragon of the Alabama realm, was aimed to show Jefferson county and the rest of the country that the klan has not suffered from the prosecution by At-terrorism organizations and for-aging indictments returned against members of the hooded order. Follows McCall's Withdrawal The parade was announced Sunday, two weeks after McCall withdrew from prosecution of the Laverne murder, according to court obituary convictions. The gate law enforcement department, his special investigating officers, flatly refused to obey a warrant according to the attorney general, and showed a "frenzled desire to aid the defense." McCall in a fiery statement declares "evilness and defiance laughing at the helplessness of the machinery of justice, are not the methods of honorable men.
