DEMAND PUBLIC PLACES BLOT OUT COLOR LINE 16 GET HARMON AWARDS WANT PUBLIC PLACES OPEN TO ALL RACES Citizenship Crusade Hits Color Line Because of the general approval of the public following the announcement of the American Citizenship committee crusading against the "color line," the executives have set forth another resolution which comes like a war ultimatum. To break the false contention that there is a special place for different Americans is the determination of the body. That, the "Negro in his place" is all right, is the "duly prayer of the white," is going to be corrected, it was reported. What is the "place of the Negro?" His place, if there was such a people, would be along with any other law-abiding nationalized citizen of the United States. His place would be to enjoy the liberties and glories of all America, as foreigners are now accorded what he is denied. Unluckily there are some persons who are too complacent and are willing to endure the insults heaped upon them by whites. By failing to go into public places some people accept the theory that there is a distinct place for them. That should not be, is the�ller of the crusade. Breaking Down Fallacy In making a public acknowledgment to the persons, and organized bodies that are following suit in breaking down the fallacy that there is a special plea to all American citizens, regardless of color, to enter into every place that is opened to the public. In making a drawback to the progress of some peoples. They fear that something will happen if they enter institutions, patronized usually by persons of white skin. In making a drawback to the public and that they are a part of the public. This point was made by the committee. They declared that if foreigners are persecuted in the United States, American citizens are welcomed. Several prominent persons throughout the country have offered to aid the committee in their drive to open a museum under the United States flag to full-fledged American citizens. In the event that dark Americans encounter any difficulty in being served, for example, they test the Constitution for their rights as American citizens. Stimulate Children This plan should be adopted by every liberal-minded person that is interested in getting the best out of life and securing a safer domestic life. It is also the duty of parents to stimulate their children to believe that they are as good as any others, the committee, in speaking to representatives of the presented issue. So keen is the interest, it was reported, in the movement, that the committee has been authorized to send a representative dinner in order that they will encounter persons that they will not encounter any difficulty if they go on. It is believed by the interested persons that such concentrated efforts by these individuals will do a great deal in destroying the no-confidence by some that there is a distinct place for every racial group in America.

C., Jan. 13. —The ill-fated venture of Marcus Garvey, which ended in his being sent to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta and his deportation to the British West Indies with the commutation of his five-year sentence, was recalled when Senator Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, of New York, introduced in the senate last Thursday a bill for the relief of certain seamen who are judgment creditors of the Black Star Line, incorporated, for wages earned. **Star Line Defaulted** The Black Star line in 1923 deposited with the United States shipping board the sum of $21,624.66 toward the purchase of a ship. The Black Star line defaulted. The United States ships pay this money to the credit of the Black Star line with the treasurer of the United States. The bill of Senator Wagner would impose on his portion of this sum of $21,624.66 as may be necessary to pay the judgments of certain seamen who are duly legal judgment holders. There are two judgments for wages against the Black Star line. One is in the case of John O. Garrett. It is for $5811.75. It was obtained in the case of Robert F. Wagner. The other judgment is in the case of Albert A. Zink and others. It is for $1,203.33. It was obtained in the United States district of New York, Dec. 16, 1923. The United States shipping board would be authorized and directed by this bill to pay out of the money collected by the court in which the judgments were rendered, the amount of each judgment together with the costs and interest accrued to the date of the judgment, and the identifying these judgments. A certified copy of each judgment would have to be furnished to the United States shipping board before any shipment of goods. The Black Star line is a corporation existing under the laws of Delaware. It had for its purpose the acquisition, and management of the ships, and the ultimately intended to transport to Africa men and material to build up a great empire—the dark race, the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star line at 15, a share. Garvey served two years and nine months of his service in the portionation to the West Indies in November. He is now in Jamaica.

WINSTON HARRINGTON (Staff Correspondent) Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 13.—The tangled affairs of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank and Trust company has caused such a sentiment throughout this section that the Delta Penny Savings bank of Indiana, Miss., established since 1904 and once the pride of Dixie, was forced to close its doors following a similar run on the institution.

Nothing that has happened in the South in recent years has this to do with the republican bank and that of the Delta Penny Savings bank. The Memphis bank had been tottled for several weeks, the time the bank was to be banked by the Solvent Savings bank.

It was not intended that the Alpha boys should bring young ladies with them to a formal dance. No notice, however, was given to the Alpha invitations did not include their young lady friends. Nonchalently the Alphas came to the dance, especially for their promotion. They committed the impardonable error of bringing young ladies with them. They were told positively that they could enter but their young lady would not be allowed to part of the embarrassment. Husbands who had been extended invitations had the temerity to bring their wives with them, if their wives had been told that they could enter but not their wives.

Mr. Smith explained that he and his wife simply wished to have Mrs. Smith sit in the balcony and look at the young folks dance. They were denied this privilege. Horace Scott came.

PROHIBITION CAUSED DROP IN LYNCHING: KELLY MILLER Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.—According to Kelly Miller, Howard university professor of sociology and a publicist, in a letter to the editor of the Washington Post appearing last Sunday, prohibition is the cause of the reduction in the number of lynchings in recent years. "Lynching" he says, "reached its climax in 1892, with 255 victims.

"Ly climax in 1892, with 255 victim been a regular and rapid decrease to something like twenty a year. In 1892 there were 100 white and 155 Negro victims. Since that time there has been a similar decline in both races, although the whites have done the most rapidly. "During the past 40 years something like 1,000 whites and 3,000 Negroes have died at the hands of the mob. So grave is the iniquity of lynching that the rest of the nation has been constrained to call public attention to it in several of his annual messages. "I am convinced that the decline in lynching is due primarily to the restriction in the use of intoxicating liquors. The figures will show that it has followed closely the rise of prohibition laws in the southern states." "The South, where the Negro majority lives, the bully lynchings occur, had enacted local and state prohibition long before the adoption of the 18th amendment.

He pointed out that the Race had fought with valor in the Revolution ary war, in 1812, in the Civil war, the Spaniah-American war, and ° the ‘World war, then asked why we had ot fought for ourselves and, our Tights as we had for and under white nen, "Ho reviewed the Bistory of the Antislavery. movement _ inaugurated by, financed by and fought by white men and Women.

Ho sald that in all that perfod none of our Face hed orisi- hated aay movement to free himself, save only the Nat Turner rebellion, fehich failed because of the treachery of one of his own Race. Not Yet Free ‘Mr, Warley sald the Emancipation proclamation of 65 years ago, which fre celebrated was a physical eman- cipation: that we usually rehearse Jour progress by telling of the wealth accumulated, our education progress in the professions, ‘business | aod churches, but that houses, lands, au- tomobiles, banks, Insurance compa- nies, stores, etc, ald not make © eace tree. “We are not yet free" because our Race does not enjoy the rights and lberties of free men and women. We have not yet spiritual and mental freedom and unill we have this—we fare not yet free. As long as we are [distranchised, lynched, segresated, we eannot say we are free. . “We therefore need a second errian- cipation,” aad Mr, Warley, “and we must do it ourselves for ‘ourselves He who would be free indeed, himselt ‘must strike the blow.” Efforts for real freedom had been struck from ‘me to time in the 65 years.past. He remembered the Afro-American coun: cll, the Niagara movement, the Equal Rights Teague, etc. ail initiated by far-seeing men and women of, the Race. But all of them were dead for Jack of support by the people for sshom they were started. Only the N, A. A.

He again emphasized that the Race cannot be free so long as there is any place in our country where our Race cannot /mhare in all the rights and privileges of other American citizens, and that ‘we alone raust make the fight for this freedom of the. soul as well as the body. ‘ A Fine Audience Although it was a bitter cold .nfeht land Mr. Warley was suffering from a Rae at caer acai eee ii Ukr saber alia narod Paes Mais oo 4 he ee renee 2 aa eee ee eee = a an 4 3 i : ae = rer eet | ea ine ee | i ee hy ee et 88 = a oa ae Fein St Ba eer aan eras.

Inasmuch as there is not a suitable language for the public meetings where large conventions and public meetings can be held, or where the language of invention and art can be exhibited, it is necessary that the advancement of the face can be kept. It would be a splendid idea if all this be reflected in the language of the sent of the nation, where it would reflect the greatest possible good for the nation. It is the purpose of the National Me- tahonia nation a torch in the form of a beautiful building which would shed its light for the nation to follow the example of those who to follow the example of those who Race and nation.

Dr. George Cleveland Hall, one of the most well-known figures given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Abbott, is responsible for this play. Dr. Hall had as his partner the hostess, Dr. Hall had as his partner the hostess, and then their were Mr. Abbott and his partner whose name we shall not reveal to pro-ducer or author of the phrase used after the play. Just after the cards had been dealt the hostess called the phone call. When he returned to the room, the cards were turned and that there were exactly 13 diamonds in his hand. He smiled and murmured to the hostess, "I pass," and munched to his table mates. "I pass," and then he smiled. One of the others made the successful bid, and Abbott laughingly exposed the diamonds. The excellence, assured him the hard work he carefully skipped.

Suggestions A most amusing little box of soap for children of the size of playing cards and covered with jumper, that has a cake of soap the size of five or four cards. The box itself is a shape of a book with the cards upon the cover. A stitch in time will certainly save the day if it is a case of a run in a coat of soap. There are 12 cards of the newest shades in mending sails, and garters and shoulder strap them to match, are both novel and decorated coat-hanger is nice to keep on one's clothes tree when expectant children are in need of a wrap in so much better condition than when thrown on the bed, especially when the coat will be doubly thankful for this coat will be doubly thankful for this chance to dry. The heaviest reading may modestly conceal itself behind frivolous covers, and cherished books bound in gay Italian hand-hacked papers. Many well-dressed women are wearing shorts this season. They are wearing neutral stockings and it is also wearing a brown suede envelope bag with them. —Ibolo by R. D. Jones. MRS. ETHEL L. CALIMESE.

Advance of the Wise and Otherwise Dear Princess: Will you please, advise you to be here for the following problem: First of all, my wife is a hairdresser and she tells her customers everything that is unhelpful. She has been so good to me, and she tells them her domestic affairs. She tries to select all my associates, which can be her do for her while. All the men call me hempocked. If we go to a dance, she compelances to do so, and all. If I step outside with the boys for a smoke or nip, she comes right out of the house. She is so young and the circumstances are going out. She circulated the rumor that I was on intimate terms with a woman. This is the first time I had a woman. I think she has no confidence in any woman. I don't know the prehabilitation of all my wife's and her children. I think I'm a great enough for him. In old times very often a person had the things out of us to do. We have to do some things out of us, but we do not make a home. It takes mutual love, consideration and understanding. a severe beating. Previous to this she had had 10 other drowls with women. I went to the hospital where I go, even to smokers where there are only men present. We have to get them out. If I can get my share I am ready to pull out. What would you advise me to do? This wife of yours is what I call a princess. She is a woman of life in too awkward to try offering any explanation. You are one of the very few women under the circumstances. What she does for you is to help her as she should be handed. You are more than a woman to be handed. You can abuse such a woman. The woman who gave your wife a beating deserves to be treated with respect. You would have a decided effect on her, and you would have a decision effect on her. You can general grounds, and it will not require long. Even if you cannot get the woman to give your life out with her. You can buy more property. Dear Princess: I am writing to you to inform you of my marriage to the woman I am a married woman and the mother of my children. My husband and I cannot go along. He is jealous of me. I love him. He is jealous of me. I love him. He is jealous of me. He never wants a baby are with me. If I do, he accuses me of everything. I love him, but he does not. He never speaks kindly to me. I don't have to break up my home but I don't know what to do. Please, Princess, When a man acts and talks as your person, but just pure, out-and-out curses ousy, but just pure, out-and-out curses that a woman should have a space of her own, it is absolutely necessary to happiness. If a person or thing it soon becomes un- pleasant or object in the whole world is the man Dr. Lillian S.

I don't know what punishment it great enough for him. In olen times were very strict, and the tongue cut out by the roots for some reason. I don't know what he does not exist today for such as he. Your life with him will never be happy; so I want you to find some way to help yourself and child so that you can be plonable, but I think you can overcome that and find out that your marriage is not made a home. It takes mutual respect and action, understanding to make what is known a happen. Dear Princess: I have been reading your advice to others for some time and now I am coming to you for help. I am young lady and I am old and my college girl. I am away from home, going to school. Last year I met a young woman at the hospital and I was very old to me, but lately I said I didn't have anything and we cannot go any place without having a fuss before we return. I am very old to me, but I am so much more strange people to go and talk to other girls. He seldom dances with me, yet he never misses a dance. He happens to go to the same place. He goes with another girl. She quit him, so he came back to me. I like him and he claims he likes me, but we cannot go to school. When I was a child I was so old to do, dear Princess? Shall I stop going with him? I hate to give him up. We fuss all the time, but make up.—A Quarrel's Sweetie. From the way you sign yourself, I can almost say that you are the fault and know it. A fussy woman is a pest. She eventually drives her away who would otherwise be her only mother. Whatever a man's shortcomings may be, the detents being quarried with. Then, as many ways to avoid the problem. Sweetie has always never expecied to be happy married if they do nothing but quarrel beforehand. I admis that you give him up. The young woman's identity is so feel for him. I am one of the one who would be different. You are too young to stand a rough or rugged love affair, whether it is your fault, or whether he is the other you will see that it is a taste of time and energy to quarrel. Dear Princess: Please help a group of students to find correspondents. We are all college bred, all employed—some teachers, all men and women, all lonely but we live in small adjoining towns, where it seems that all male men and women are married—we. Whoo-pee! When it rains it pours. We are and address for those who want them.

And let it be said at once that the version of Edna Ferber's popular novel more than came up to expectations. A veteran impressio has made a lavish production, with its 17 scenes, its costumes of several periods and its large company. The Jerome Kern songs are unusually melodious, and, in many cases, the singing of many Negroes, the singing of the chorus is second to none in town. The export casting was the finishing touch of the play, "a highly enjoyable musical play." The selection of Miss Norma Terris to play the charming Magnolia was ideal. This highly intelligent actress could act, dance and sing. And whatever her age happens to be, she can assume the jeune fille look of a maiden still in her teenage. Howard Kline, who plays the heartbreaker gambler, Taylor Ravenal, who settles down into being a surprisingly monogamous gentleman. Mr. Marsh had his adamant enemy, the Negro actor, who made such an excellent impression in "Deep River," Mr. Marsh sang some delightful duets with Miss Terris and Mr. Bled-Man Negro, the home of singing "Old Man River," the biggest song hit of the piece. But to return to Miss Terris, this prima donna did one charming dance with Magnolia's own daughter, Kim, who has become a Broadway star, she could not resist the temptation to sing, certain dity and the familiar that she did in "A Night in Soothsay." Charles Ellis was recruited from the legitimate stage to do the heavy acting as Steve, the "Show Boat's" leading man, the husband of Julie and the wife of the director, is exposed as a Negress and delivers from the company by a highly indignant aberrant. Eva Puck and Sammy White were a highly amusing team as the comedians of the "Cotton Blossom company, and much of the evening's dancing and comic moments. Charles Winninger, as Cap'n Andy, the owner of the boat and the show, and his wife, Patty Ann Hawks, played by Miss Edna May Oliver, were also pop stars. Her daughter, her dad, share of numerous singing. There was a glamorous quality to the first act, like moonlight on the ocean, down on the levee at Natchere, the Mississippi the second, on the ocean the Chicago fair and moved along the years down to the present time, did not have the same fascination, but it did well enough. This musical play has more musical comedies, and there's a happy mingling throughout of humor and pathos. A "best seller" plot, however, hardly needs retelling. But it might be a bit more amusing, ammerserly, the librettist, has supplied the ending not to be found in Miss Ferber's novel. The married lovers are united in middle age to spend the rest of their lives together. The urge of their lives together may barely go unheeded in a musical play. ```markdown ``` Jerome Kern's music ranks among his best scores and more than one of his best New Year's eve celebrations. By that time "Old Man River" will be one of his favorites. From any angle, costumes, story, staring or acting, "Show Boat" deserves the highest praise. It should be at the Ziegfeld theater. DIXIE MIN&TRELS A. D. Pat Patterson will again this A. D. Pat Patterson carry out his Dixie Minstrel show. The company didn't go out last season, but this season will be the first time he'll out. The band will be under the direction of Prof. Chick Simon.

Chuck Montgomery Charles (Chuck) Montgomery, has written that he is doing well on Gibson's Chocolate Box revue and would like to hear from his friends the week of Jan. 6 at the Pekin theater, Savannah, Ga. Violinist South Edward Alexander, violinist, was recently called to Little Rock, Ark. who is seriously ill. He writes that his father's condition is about the same, although hope for his recovery is entertained. Mr. Alexander teach him at the Little Rock. Adolphus Cheatman, who played around Chicago last year, writes from Philadelphia, Pa. that he, too, is a music chestra, housed in the $1,000,000 Pearl theater in quaint old Philly. The orchestra is under the management of Wilbur De Paris and is making quite a reputation in the city. Following is the line-up: Wilbur De Paris, manager and trombone; Fernando Arbels, second trombone; Sidney De Paris and Adolphus Watson and Joe Hayman, saxophones; Harold Fox, violin; Walter Cousins, drums; William Mays, bass; George Dawson, banjo; William Watson, guitar.

Arthur Boykin Writes Arthur writes, wishing The Scribe a prosperous and a happy New Year. The Scribe is traveling dawn unit, playing dances in the state of Florida at the present time. Arthur is drummer and entertainer with the band. Hear Ye, Bunch! William Roach wants to hear from Jim Wade and Grant Moore at our concert on 942 Gaulster St. St. Paul, MN. The York-Right, Masonic band is one of York's proud musical orchestras, offering a variety of greater success. They were first established three years ago and were first tutored by the noted band director, P. G. Woolley, who was a perfect unit. They are buying all of the standard classic music. Mr. Fields the founder and manager of the band, deserves much credit for his work. Mr. Woolley is the directress of an all-men band, who takes charge of the band when Mr. Lowyery is away on tour with the band. Mr. Woolley is compilated in doing her work as trainer of the band during this period. For her faithfulness the band has a beautiful Christmas gift. One seldom finds a more replete or up to date orchestra these days than the popular Beale St. theater, the most popular Memphis, Tenn. It is Williamson's Beale St. Frolic orchestra, Victor Trombone, the most rosette, those identified with this organization as follows: Charles Williamson, trumpet and conductor; Alex Hunt, trombone; James Alston, piano; Alston, trombone; and to handling the black and white ivories of a piano, Thomas Pinkston, violin and banjo; Alvin T. Washington, drums; T. Washington, drums, like the name he bears, Washington is, a wielder and master of the two little drummers; Mr. Washington comes Emmett Shepherd, tuba. This completes one of, if not the best, musical organizer and manager. Palace theater has ever harbored, but Beale St. there is none better. The management of the famous Ringling brothers show, have signed for next season P. G. Lowery and W. H. Lowery, to show on earth and the famous Lowery can be congratulated on receiving this contract every season for the year. What would it be on all kinds of music, both classic and popular. He is seeking only the best musicians the market affords. He also is in the market for excellent bass players. We will handmaster at 2227 E. 1040 St., Cleveland, Ohio. NOTES B. Miner's Melodians are working around Aaron, Ohio. They are well known in the state. There are none but first class musicians in the orchestra, which is in great demand. Beginning Jan. 15, an indefinite engagement at the Madison Gardens, Toledo, Ohio. Charles Eligar and Clarence Black with their crack orchestra, are holding down the job at the Savoy ballroom, Chicago, nicely. Chicago awaits with outstretched arms the coming of Fess Williams to the Regal theater next month. Good musicians do not have to sign contracts individually with leaders. They can be signed to self open. You cannot tell when a greater opportunity will present itself. Real leaders do not care to simulate the experience of a leader and conditions on the job the best results cannot be obtained by it. It takes cheerful songs to play music. Hugh Swift and his orchestra are a sensation in Chicago at the exclusive Southmoor hotel. Eddie South, the fine little violinist, has his notice at the Vendome theater. Robert Rowe, the cityor concertist, and Orville Morton, the flutist, also have tendered their resignations to the contractor of the Vendome orchestra. Charles Harrell one of the musicians in the country, was handed his White Rae Must Drop Jazz This week I am presenting an amusing article clipped from an English newspaper. Sir Henry Coward, one of London's great musicians, seems to be playing jazz music is lowering the standards of the white race and he is also them to will be lost in morals. He evidently thinks that effects on the darker races or he would said so in the following article, have the English great musicians, seems to think that jazz music is lowering the standards of the white race and he warns them to, shun it or they be in moralis. He evidently thinks that jazz has no evil effects on the race and he would have said so in the following article. I would like to thank gentleman pay America a visit, and then he would see what the folks over here think about jazz. Today it is the principal music in this country, being paid by this Englishman's next door neighbors, France, Germany and Spain, for the services of American jazz bands. I would advise him to look on in the world. His article reads: 'Jazz must be banned by the white races if they wish to maintain their prestige,' said Sir Henry Coward, father of the Sheffield Rotary club. "Jazz was largely responsible for lowering prewar standards," he said, "and it must be taboo in every shape from until its baneful influence is gone." Jazz is a low type of primitive music, rounded on crude rhythms, suggested by stamping feet and clapping hands. It is also grotesque by hanging and changing of pots and pans or any shimmering metallic substance reinforced with special drums. The noble trombones of jazz were like a village idiot and moan like a cow in distress. The silver-toned trumpet, associated in poetry with the word "sound," produce sounds like drawing a nail on a slate, or the walling of a nocturnal toment. Jazz cannot make anything but the essence of vulgarity. The jazz singer is the pendant immode dances are lowering the prestige of the white races.

Cleveland's Masonic Band A Memphis Band Lowary Signed NOTES # THE CHICAGO DEFENDEE IN OLD KAYSEE By CHARLES O'NEAL Kansas City, Mo.-If the New Year's offering at the Lincoln theater this week can be taken as a criterion of the year's offerings, then the management is related in advance. To say that the patrons were well rewarded for their 35 cents per for the privilege of seating, they would be putting it in a small way. This musical revue was replete with songs,舞曲, comedy bits and sketches that would do credit to the Hunter and Leroy "Syrup" White, in their comedy, were as funny as Jesse James was bad. The leads were well handled by Irene Scruggs and Eliza Lomax and made a hit with the "Shufflin' Sam" company last week at the Empress theater, an Olay downtown house, had the role of prima donna. The downsides handled the strengths in a better manner. The main features of this revue were the singing and dancing of the Baby Scruggs, who appeared in the show more natural ability and talent than many of the performers who show here "just from Broadway, New York" The dancing of Miss May York was also more than well received. For several weeks the writer has been interested in the opinions of the current critics and performers in regard to day show business, especially as it pertains to the T. O. B. A. circuit. Some blame the officials, some the managers, and the rest the managers and show people themselves. Having had close contact with the show business for several years, I have learned that the officials have no regard for such things and hold ship anything to a theater, realizing the fact that their percentage will arrive regardless. Again, booking such distance apart that the railroad fare cuts up the gross as well as the net, causes the companies to become stunned for lack of salaries, as often they quit cold and join another show. It happens that in Kansas City we have a good theater manager. Frank Spencer, a five man, but he is an artist, to the extent that the companies that are beat playing the percentage basis; suffer fines on some fraudulent charge, and are not contracted for. Three companies are now laying off in this city rather than go South, where experience has taken hold. As to the performer and managers, there are some that do nothing but steal jokes, bits and sketches from their professional brothers and sisters, and they have the same old songs and gags each week. Still they expect the officials to book them over the wheel, offer them a job, and panies with talent and ability to suffer the inconvenience of a week or two lay-off, thereby would seem to be to have each show inspected in each city if possible, and cancel the engagements of those who are professionally unfit and below the standard. Then the job should be paid a human beings wage and treated like human beings not like a bunch of cattle. I personally and circle officials would be amply rewarded. REPORT ON MILLS MEMORIAL Until now it has been impossible to make a report on the Florence to be given in New York city, Dec. 3, 1297, in account of outstanding monies.

Friends can write her in care of Mrs. Bruce, 3001 Wabash Ave. Chicago. Jennie will be in the making of the show business and the gang should rally to her au- partment. The gang is planning a midnight benefit show in Chi for her in a few weeks. "MELBA AND ROSS" The team of Melba and Ross is now playing S. H. Dudley's end of the T. G. Baird's end of the T. G. playing successfully South for S. E. Reeving. The act can be paged at 1233 Seventh St. N. W., Washington, D. C. Lou Vernon is working in and around Chicago with his single act. notice by the conductor because he refused to sign a contract. The personnel of the Regal theater orchestra is as follows: First violin, Laurence Lee, Robert Wauer, Joe McCormick, Michael McCormick, Lawrence Dixon; bass, Archie Walls; drums, Jasper Taylor, wood-winds, Angelo Fernandez, Orville Robbins, Bernie Reeves, Fred Robson; trombones, Eddie Atkins, Fred Thomas; sax and oboe, Charles Harrington and John, Bud Bucy; plaes, Bernard Smith. The theater opens early in February. George Duff, band director, is doing something that may amount to something in the weekly rehearsals he is conducting in the local rehearsal room. The musicians are invited to rehearse in order that they may be ready when the call comes. A very good idea and my advice to the bunch is to take advantage of this free training which George Duff is willing to give to all. D. C. Officer wants to hear from W. Thomas Hill of Norfolk, Va., at once. Write to general delivery, Spartan, Tenn. Amos White, bandmaster of the Georgia Minstrel Show, says the band will be ready for June 14, and that he and most of the band will head for the Windy City. STARS THAT SINCE By BILLY JONES Although there was spirited bidding between Fox and the Keith Albee bookers for the Will Vodory oratory oracle, giving the Race aggregation several hours in York, with other time offered, the act turned down all further vaudeville time to go into the night club that has been promoting in New York. Moss and the team left Keith act, have accepted a contract to play 24 weeks in the picture houses on the West Coast at a salary of $10,000. The team left New York Sundae. Professional jealousy in New York is one of the evils that should be wiped out. People looking for talent have come right in places where they can tell them nobody is around at the present time, or they would look around for some one. This happened last week. Be on the level with everyone and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Don't start the new year with the same old stuff. The Three Dance Maniacs, with Lizzie McGuire and in around New York. The act is good and fast steppers. Billy Jones, the popular young singer, leaving New York this Friday to duce the big song hits on the Florida Coast, including "Charmine," "Broken Heard," "Just Another Day," "The Book of Mice," and "Ed Tondee's trio will play up New York state for six weeks. The act went big at Proctor's 125th St. and the bookers were pleased with the act. Mike Jackson's new song, "I'm Going to Lose Myself in Louisville," is creating a big impression and many of his songs are being played. Jackson is also playing in and out of New York and singing his own songs. LINCOLN PERRY'S LETTER Dear Dave: This week will look all well in Los Angeles after the excitement of the holidays has ceased and the New York City is to follow, all in nature. The new year brought back to us by Bolanje Robinson, who is at the Orpheum on his second week. With the Hill to follow, all of my first time to see Bill in action, and to my great delight I can join the band of those who has had Bill Robinson as a member of the dance and the dean of t dancing. Sunshine Sammy and his brother were present at the Orpheum. Sammy did a week and the dean to appear on the bill at the Lincoln theater with the Dancing Cyclones and everyone in Los Angeles was indeed overjoyed with the wonderful progress Sunshine Sammy has attained since last seen on the stage here. Sammy's brother is in a class by himself. In fact all give him the opportunity to be in quite of the wonderful personality of Sammy. They jumped here from New York and right back again to enable me to see where Sammy is any screen intentions or desires. The Dancing Cyclone was also a great hit. Sam Russell and Jonnie Worthington were the only ones if it didn't have any opposition at all—uhm! uhm! Of course I assumed some cork because I didn't want to forget how to say 'can you come tomorrow?' Ha, ha! It's a true saying. 'You can take a man out of the T. O. B. A., but you can't take the Toby out of the man.' Oc strain was master of ceremonies and Moseby, blue blower, played in "warm" to "burning up." Everything was H. K. with the exception of "Pimp" to "Pimp." Ha, ha! Seriously speaking, it was a great show, supported by the feeling of New Year. Everyone paused for a moment of earnest laugh and then the happy New Year handshake. Bill Robinson was located in the audience and held up our good show, and was compelled to say something, and what did he say? Well, words are the expression of the heart, and his words showed that his heart was interested in the Florence Mills memorial, because he made the initiative preparation for the large benefit to the group in 1616. The Lincoln, heed by himself and supported by all members at the Lincoln theater, through the courtesy of Sam Cramer and Manager Carpentier, and many stars from both the stage and screen. Here's hoping Bill adds to his fame of successful benefits by an over-average success here. Bob Williams, last heard of doing a part in Norma Shearer's last picture, was again caught, directing Speed Webb's orchestra with Warren Hill in West Coast theater, and if you don't think things are warm you ought to find some explanation of why they have a route and contracts to make a tour of the Orpheum circuit, opening date forgotten by "brainy" me. Rob Spike's orchestra at the Follies last week was at its best and each week displaying talent and skill are keeping them in a class by them and to be a Salem Bob was the hit of this Ivy Anderson and Sonny Clay's band sailed with the four Covans, Angelus Babe, Dick Saunders and John Packer, and Ivy was seated near a seick by now. The occasion was the cause of Stompy and Stella heading the revue at the Follies. The chorus at the Follies is extra good, and Ipponico was the act that I had not as yet caught. Also missed the show at the Cotton club. As I sit writing and looking out the window, Carolynne Snowden passed, making no effort to pack. Packer I learned that she has taken over an elaborate home since I saw her Christmas eve. I know it's a treat for the eyes. Last week I did the concert for John Packer. Carolynne just drove out to answer the call of her contract—a check. GLENNIE CHEESMAN Glennie Cheesman wants her friends in and out to know that she is sailing along with Norman Thomag and his Brazilian Nuts. The act has just completed a tour of the Poli time and are now working in and around New York. Mail will reach the clever little dancer at 226 W. 47th St., New York.

'JIM JACKSON'S KANSAS CITY BLUES' In 2 parts Vocalion Record no 1144 Sung & played by the Original KANSAS CITY JIM JACKSON EVERYBODY in Kansas City knows Jim Jackson. Down there folks claim he's the one of the greatest blues singer there ever was. We think he so, so we had him make his favorite song for Vocalion. It's called "Jim Jackson's Kansas City Blues" and comes in two parts. Go down to your favorite Vocalion Dealer and have him play this LINWOOD'S LETTER Dear Dave: We are hoping that with the coming of the new year Race performers will make up their minds to first stop knocking the other fellow out and when you are standing around talking about some other performer this same person is on the mind of him or her to her to some part of the world that you never have and never will. So the Christmas celebration of the Whitmans and gang was held at the Liberty hotel, Atlantic City, N. J., on Christmas night after the last performance of the company opened with Lord's prophet. Mabel Whitman Payton and F. B. Payton, Alberta Whitman, made up the company their 'New Year's' resolution, "Speaking of business." There were 682 presents distributed among the members of the company, many jobs offered to members of the company that we had to divide the company into two groups: the gang left for New York. Everyone was present except W. B. Johnson and yours truly. We forgot the train and we were out for 8:15 Sunday night. At the Monday matinee at the Lafayette theater, the gang broke all records for a single day. We were almost the same as the opening day. Our engagement for the week of Jan. 9 is not known at this time, will tell you about it in my next letter. At Wilkins of the team of Wilkins and Biley tried his best to get a job with the gang, why we don't know. In the next weeks, W. B. Johnson said he would be in Atlantic City when this is published. Of course we know that his world will know it. Never no leaving, Johnson. Our orchestra received another check from the A. F. M. just before leaving Newark, N. J. New York has certainly upset a lot of people. New York, with its nightlife, forget that they cannot let the world go one way and they go another. Sickness is something we all have come in once and awhile and say a few words to you. You will lay and suffer for attention. Always try and be the people you are working with daily. Don't pretend to be a friend to a fellow when his pocket balls are run out. Don't have no dollars get before large audience and make the people think he is a bum "Toy" Snapp, sends regards to all of his friends in and out and wishes them all a Happy New Year. BEHEARSING "MEEK MOSE' Rehearsals are under way for the Broadway presentation of "Weeek Man," a play by the son, who plays the title role in "Forgy."

The Desender's MOVIE and STAGE DEPARTMENT SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1925 The AMON'S PEN Nashville, Tenn.-Dear Pal Dav Lee, Well, old top, after three days help- selves, back. Back, running smoothly. I have a little time to write you about the do- nation of Nashville, Tenn. We spent our New Year's here and if it hadn't have been our own joint I to us as we have a nice consolent bunch of people in the little company we are a happy New Year for our selves. They need a lot of things here in this town. There is no need in saying we have a nice joint. I want things from a hotel with accommodations to a civilized policeman. Lyric theater which could be made at a very little cost to the man- agement, has been let take care of itself at a very low cost to the man- agement. Come on, Mr. Star, remember you are the president fellow. Take a look back-stage your self some time. I hardly think you can do it. I don't think you are the man to stand by and see your shows suffer for want of them. You can so easily remedy things. --- Well, now to our new show, "Oh. You Mr. Rare Back." we opened the door, and nicely, as I expected it would, for we have all experienced people. Now we have all experienced trail in fine form with no rough edges. Our chorus? Oh, boy! If you want to see a dandy little chorus just take a look at the back. About our chorus girls and boys I guess you all think I am partial to the chorus. Well, to tell the truth, I am not a chorus girl. I about little devil works so hard and deserve so much credit—so much more than the majority of us are wont to give up. We are not them, such as "Oh you're nothing but chorus girl!" and "stay in a chorus room." And other nasty little remotes, such as But if you don't think the chorus girl or boy is an important to your life, you don't think who thinks he or she is, just take the chorus out and set it aside and let Mr. or Mrs. or Miss Great-A-I am step up to show that same show without that same little chorus and, oh, boy, how your box of toys have been going big with, with that chorus behind you, will die and go fatt without them, remember that it takes each and every one in a show to make that happen. I wrote my dear friends, Whitney and Tutt, a letter quite a while ago, but to date I have received no answer from boys. I do feel somewhat hurt over it. You know I kind of set you two apart from a lot of folks as two of my friends, so I will look for a letter soon. Next week brings Miss Babe Brown a visit to New Orleans' company here to the Lyric. The show is billed like a circus, with very fast paper, Word and music, but you know you will keep the good work in. Miss Herietta Leggett and her husband Don left this city this week to Cuba. Sam Kuhn gave a statement back stage tonight and in one of his videos, he said "$42.56" and was showing it to some of us, and my friend. I won't call his name, looked at it and asked Kuhn what he was talking about. I started to tell them she "came after Math and joined in Dependence," but John Mason said don't do that. Norance is bliss it's better to keep your mouth shut than to have to nurse a bite up-head. He was best of some of you little "sweethearts" who have friends on either one of these three shows in Cuba. So sweetheart went with this or that company because "so-and-so" went, when the big show split up into three shows. So different shows are there through no choice of their own. Jack Goldberg to the best advantage of three shows. So rest easy, little dears. If you had them when they came here you still have them, as I have noted no "Seven-Eleven" company, week of Jan. 9, Booker Washington theater, St. Louis, Mo. Namie Smith and her rang. Jan. 9, Grand theater, Chicago, Ill. This company, "Mr. Rare Back," Jan. 9, Washington theater, Indianapolis, Ind.; week of Jan. 16, Grand theater, Chicago, Ill. My regards to Inez Dennis, Montrose Brooks. Bessie Wrightson, Greenlee and Drayton, Charles S. Gilpin and those dear friends I have not mentioned, know ye, that I am radiating you my best wishes. I don't want anybody to ever tell me it don't get cold down South. It is now one degree below zero. So I will sign off the other and tune in on the sheets. So that's that and that's all. Ta, ta:—Amon Davis. BILLY ARNTE Billy Arnle and his gang are working on an Ony show. It is called the R. E. Browning Blues and White behind the State of Oklahoma.

Looking Some folks spend so much of their time looking, backward that when they turn about they will be in direction in which they were --- Going back to the past is like a game and about in an old garret, you are a back dusty or get cob-webs on your brain. Act now, we look back and turned to play again; that means that a guy can't look fresh at the same time. Salem T. Whitney This movie is the most valuable thing the past has to offer, and a guy should tote that along with him not to have to go back to look it over. Some of our great men were so far ahead of the game that fish stop to look at what they have said, written or accomplished, we are looking backward, we are only catching up. We often hear talk of reviving this the past kill of reviving have been very few successful revivals, a popular musical comedy, and to try make it stage a come-back is asking too much of the dead past unless it was far behind. "When a producer holds the smelter, you may know he has reached his peak, shot his bolt; the bottom has dropped from his think-pan and his eyes may know he has reached the play, it is his brain that is in need of resuscitation. He upgrades you up for a hot-dog and then attempts to entertain you with the oft repeated successes, a post-mortem examination is unnecessary, that joekoele's brain does not need to carry the coffin to the cemetery. 'Bolangles' Robinson has created a lot of publicity for himself, but not really run backward. No matter what the position of his back, he actually goes down, snow, hall or sleet, beats against a guy's face with so much force that he press on. That is not walking backward, that is backing forward. The guy keeps going deep forward until you arrive. Like a jodeko learning to ride a bicycle, we generally go the direct way. But sometimes we look in our thoughts will climb in that direction. If we continue to look down, our bicycle will climb in a thermometer on a cold day. If we look forward, our thoughts adhere to backward and the going is easy in either direction. The offender and longer you look backward, the faster you will kiss the bottom or bump into your mental tombstone quicker the bootlegger can reach his best customer. It takes the courage of a David, the city of the Canadian mounted police and the optimism of a race track to enable one to continue to look forward, ruin and ashes of ruin. But if one can accomplish the feat, one is sure of the. The backward view has no perspective. You know what is past. The has been burned. Lamenting the past is just as profitable as trying to get your money back from an old ansh-can. The present is all you own. It is your only reliable hank; from the future.

A TROUPER'S EXPERIENCES BY CHARLES S. JOHNSON Dear Friend Dave: As per promise, I will be a guest of the series of "A Trouper's Experiences." Since last year seeing you, the Ginger Johnson full engagement in Columbus, Ohio, at the beautiful Python theater, was the appreciative attitude of the hundreds of intelligent and refined way nightly into this beautiful edifice and the congenial painstaking artist stage artist a "break." A double change of high class picture presentation one of the outstanding advantages in the business conduct of this popular artist I think I would do an injustice to our popular subject should I fail to understand his practice in getting the best average admission prices than any other, and his practice in getting the superior advantages, we take pleasure in advising all our coworkers in requesting the Fythian in Columbus, Ohio. Leaving Columbus we journeyed over to Dayton and with no reflection at all against the already mentioned beautiful Lyrithian, and as well as the most found-about built their own, found-absolutely the most beautiful and best equipped house catering to Race patrons in the country. This beautiful auditorium was very vividly de- làm to the week in The Wimbledon. The Greatest Weekly by Mr. Costello of the Georgia Minstreis Co., which had the honor of holding the dedicatory performances of this wonder playhouse. Due to its great�ly tфact of an unscrupulous person, who, through misrepresentation to the owners (Dr. Cox, a Race physician, and Mr. Winters, a Caucasian millionaire, and the bankers), has gained the importance of the show. The show continued with our company. In spite of the methods adopted by this pseudo millionaire in dodging payments of bona fide contract, he can't find words specific to a text of the same and the human inclinations of the owners, who came to our rescue and made what seemed to be destined an unsuccessful engagement, one of pleasure and long-term remembrance of the most successful engagements, both financially and socially. We understand that Dr. Cox and Mr. Winters are about to institute a suit against this wily person-who is a good deity by intent to break this unwise lease. If this is successful and these two true men take personal control of their beautiful institution, we recommend the other person to produce a number of overlook. Dayin aloud with Columbus, in their play dates. Other news of importance to our group of "Troupers," is the fact that Mrs. Georgia Evans has established a Performers' Rest in Dayton at 218 Norwood Ave., and we can safely say that nowhere in this country can we find a way to do it. It is performance better, cared for than in this hospitable rendezvous. Mrs. Evans, a native of Kentucky, knows exactly the preparation of home cooked palatable meals, clean comfortable beds, heat galore and all comforts which one can enjoy at home. It's the only logical place to stop. The Classic of Beautiful movie house with an exquisite dance hall over it, and a new Y. M. C. A. building which compares favorably with any Colored branch in the country, are two other monuments to financial achievements of the Race in this smart little burg of Dayton. Among the musical bunch, I might mention the "Love and the World" which has just finisher a five weeks' engagement at the beautiful Classic ballroom and returned to Cincinnati, and William Robinson's Collegians, who are doing double duty in the pit of the more beautiful Palace theater and on the stand of the most beautiful place, has been a bit of art. It is Clouds Honkins and the Ginger Snappers to really make 'em like it, musically in this section.

ARNOLD Memphis, Tenn.—The year of 1927, can it dare boost upon conditions in all lines of the amusement game are of a prosperous nature. Rather a downward trend, not an upward one. I am prone to admit, though, without any hesitation. Mind you, I do not adhere to the policy of knocking, hence I am only making statements of which I know, also others know, who have anything to do with various lines of amusements, that the season just closed, one of 1927, has been very bad. The various styles of theatrical attractions have had a lot of trouble to battle against. How they weathered it is a mystery. Some withstood the strain, while others were not so fortunate. I guess many were the shows of various styles during 1927 that hit the rocks, and conditions brought them to such a state. Were I to take my little Corona in hand and write as I have seen come to me, I would have been the season of 1927, quite discouraging. I dare my papers over the country would cheerfully ullize what I see. I would have known they know without my telling them how conditions have been the past year, but I would have said that the automobile has helped kill the amusement game in some sense, along with other lines of business. I would have proved to me. Yea, the automobile has helped kill the amusement game. What is to follow the automobile, and what is to be left to wiser heads to figure out. There was a time when all lines of amusement thrived, shows made up of a variety of games, one couldn't get a seat 10 days in advance of the shows coming to the city, one couldn't schedule to play the world, in front of so many soaring its an impossible ability to keep up with it. Yay and improvements in many areas of the city, especially in der if the public undergoes, are tiring of amusements. I wonder, too, what might be their next hankinings, they know themselves what they really do want. Undoubtedly some of them will be new toy. After the novel of it has worn off it is cast as salable, a wall set up for something of a new nature, a newness that can attractiveness, a newness. Yes, I am prone to admit that the public, the theatergoers, are not the theatergoers of years gone by. Amusement, it seems, I might be right or wrong, still, wrong or right. I am now at the age of the good show days, have ceased to promise the theaters as they used to do. Hence, as I say, the automobile, its coming, has near about wrecked conditions in a game that once, the amusement, was in its height of prosperity. And still the keep right of smoking has not more than the person after season. And the improvements, too, are making vast strides. But as to the season of 1928, Still, it has just opened. Yet I look forward before it comes to a close to be far in excess as it will continue. Yes, far in excess as it comes to make its claim to me. And as I said in the beginning, 1927 has nothing to boast upon in the way of making prosperity for those who looked for it. So let us be hopeful and optimistic over the new season just opening. I am amused that the show is not an improvement. In the means of the show which graced the boards of the various theaters the country over, like the automobile manufacturer, get out a new style model, watch improvements take effect in public attendance. Will Rogers says in one of his advertisements that the group needs pep. Yes, and pep will only bring an attraction to the heights of unlimited success.

Arnold, who since Sept. 5, standing the general advance and business of Johnnie Lee Long's brightest of musical comedies, "Dillana," which has again been reappointed to the same duties assigned him by Manager Long throughout the season of 1928. He was also fitted with the enterprising circuit of the T. O. B. A. as director of publication. It was in 1923 that Billy Arnold, as he is known to his host of friends of both races among the profession, became publicity and general advance work. Mr. Arnold's services are very much sought after by various theatrical ensembles. Billy Arnold is a southerner by birth, being born in Mobile, Ala., educated cent City's finest educational institutions, namely, Tuilee university. Jesuite college and Sorey's college in Brookhaven, Miss. Season of 1925 he was identified with the celebrated team of Whitney and Tutt's "Bmarter Sat" company, this being routed over the T. O. B. A.

He also served as director of publicity for the Fairfax and the company, Miami, Fla.; 1922 found Arnold and the Veneration and advance and publicity work for Gus Hill's George Evans (Honey Boy) minstrels. Being under the management of John W. Vogel, the minstrels, Mr. Arnold joined the William H. Kibble's original "Uncle Tom's Cable" company. This he took tour through the North playing the principal cities. Company consisted of both races. He has also done advance work for such road production motion pictures as "The Birth of a Nation." "Hearts of the World," D. W. Griffith's "Civilization and Intolerance," Thomas J. Inc's "Salomon Leaving, Todd," and William H. Fox, along with "Tankee Doddle in Berlin," Mack Bennett's biggest comedy success. It was in the old St. Charles theater, New Orleans, in 1889 that Arnold began his theatrical career, having worked under the supervision of George Roles and Tom Campbell. He also served such notable stock managers as Baldwin-Melville, Walter Baldwin and Percy Melville's stock company, which played the Academy of Music in New Orleans. Mr. Arnold, though being southern born, has the highest respect for the Race performer. In their work he sees unanimous success, and to them and their work, their untiring efforts, does he wish them a world of success in their endeavors. With W. R. Arnold it's a case of live and let, live, hence he numbers his friends among the Race performers over the enterprising circuit of the T. O. B. A.

Buro of the Eastern Cubans, Alfonso at third, both are members of the Western Cub Stars, Streeter of the Homestead Grays, Cueto and Oms of the Eastern Cubans, Wilson of the Western Cubans, Kansas City are on the Havana team. Willie Foster and Powell of the American Giants are doing all they can to hold up the Cub club which is pierced race. Bile was given his release and started for the States. The Cubas lead in fielding, but are at the bottom in club hitting and maybe that accounts for their stand- --- NOW that Judge Hueston, president of the National league, has decreed that 14 players, including the league owners in the West than their present number, lots of ball players will be seen scrambling for jobs this season, perhaps quite frequently, them will be able to positions as sport editors which they, themselves, believe they are qualified to be. Certainly the public does not expect any baseball writer to sit and look upon a ball player smacking an ampuire in the mouth before 500 fans faint. The public does not expect the incident. Neither does the public want any news a writer has to offer when that writer attempts to cover errors of judgment or playing errors. The writer who jots down what he sees according to his best judgment enters the league who enters to the players loses out. Ball players who have taken time to take the papers into the owner's office and go over each and every line, criticizing this and that, would have perfected themselves in their chosen profession. Some will be found among the missing this spring and then they will have plenty of time to connie themselves to their job of at-training to be an "n number one" ericl --- THE first meeting of the baseball moguls is past history. One man who attended the meeting until after Judge Hueston had read his able advice to none other than Sam Crawford. Sam is a familiar figure in the league that Sam in his day was one of the best players, but can fool the majority of batters right today for five or six innings. Crawford is cozy. He is a shrewd player who has paid to a manager was paid to him without Sam's knowledge. One owner remarked that Sam was one of the managers who looked after the innings. Sam has had experience as a manager. Birmingham fans will rally to his support any time. He took a role in the circuit take notice. He managed Kansas City. He acts as assistant manager of the American Giants. He also acts in search of a manager will do well to look into Sam's qualifications. --- THE C. I. A.

The final score was 41 to 32, and demonstrated Toledo's margin of superiority over the visitors. Cincinnati was completely bewildered by the smallness of the floor and all their attempts at playing their offensive system were smothered by the stiff defense of the locals. There was no doubt of Toledo's right to victory. The first half found the Big Five shooting from all angles. It was during this period that the locals established a lead that the Comets were never able to overcome, although at times they cut it down considerably. Link Stephens, stellar forward of the Big Five, ran wild, and his passing and shooting played prominent parts. Milton Staunton also found the basket easy to find, making seven points. The Comets off with speed and were the first to score, but when the home boys got going Clinton scored 25, and at half time the score stood 25. Cincinnati came back with a rush in the second half and scored two baskets in one minute. They continued their offensive and slowly crept up on the Big Five, bringing the score to 31 to 26 with five minutes to play. Toledo then opened up again and started raining in baskets. It looked like they would make a runaway of the game until Bo Hubbard dropped in a couple of long ones. The final score was 41 to 32. It would be hard to pick an outstanding star in tonight's melee. Lich Stephens and Milt Stunston stood out prominently in Toledo's attack and defense, but the wonderful teamwork of the locals was the deciding factor. Dean Walker and Bo Hubbard did most of Cincinnati's scoring, but they could hardly be classed as outstanding. Cincinnati (32) R.F.P. | Toledo (41) R.F.P.

Ruth deserves lots of credit for staying the limit after being knocked down for the count of nine earlier in the scrap. Ruth out that was the surprise of the evening, as far as most of the South side boxing fans were concerned, was between Jimmy Black, a white boy, and Mike Tyson, a pound from the sunny coast of California, who biffed and hanged one Mister Johnny Murphy, a white boy who biffed and hanged one Murphy bled from the nose and mouth, and Referee Johnson stopped hostilities in the fifth round.

"We have met the enemy and they are ours," said Captain Ed Johnson of the league-leading Bethany team as he reported to his commanding officer, the wife, after having licked Quinn Chapel, two to one, Saturday night. The victory enabled the leaders to hold onto first place by a scant one game margin, with just one series left to be rolled in the first half of the schedule. As the match got under way, Bethesda, Cosmopolitan and Progressive partisans were in the gallery pulling for a Quinn Chapel victory. The Quinn boys started out as if they were going to answer their prayers, too. They took the first game easily, with Donnie Porter blazing the way with a 199. Then contained five strikes in a row. Then the Bethany boys got into a huddle, sora like football, and came out and won the second game by 49 pins. The third and second game was a thriller, with the outcome in doubt until the last man breaks in the form of railroads, splits, taps and errors. However, Sela Lawrence got his "hook" to working and Ed Lawrence pulled off his suspenders and cigar, and this combination of events gave Bethany the game by thirteen lucky pills. Were they happy? Don't Earlier in the week, Bill Marshall, chauffeur of the Grant Memorial team, tried his best to break some records bowling against the Metra, but the game was a 252-525 game, followed with a 390, but a case of railroadits gave him a 154 for his third, spilling his chances for a new mark. However his total of 568 gave him with high series of the year, Metropolitan produced a good new man in Walker. Bethesda gained a game on Bethany by taking a series from St. Mark, but the series was not produced. Leon Bush strutted for the winners, the former rolling a 483 series and the latter a 481. Lewis of St Mark led his team with a 441. Case Glover appealed to a two-time victory over Fred Sher's exchanges, causing the teams to exchange places in the standing. Fern Woodward, with a high game of 185 a series of 432, was high man for the Metra, with a 480 series was the Oliver threat. The boys are getting ready for the second half which will get under way Monday night. Each team has added strength and is already claiming the flag. One thing is certain, no team has a runaway. And as Walter Hall, captain of the team, to say, every team in the league will be a "pain in the ankle" to every other team. Just watch 'em spill the maples. only mixed match on the card, which was a huddlung, so to speak. Knockout White of New Orleans and Kid Snowflake from the Isle of Wight, or some other such island in the United States, packed house with six lively rounds. Snowflake, doing most of the catching; it wasn't hard for Judges E. L. Cook and Kline to hand the verdict.

INDIVIDUAL AVERAGES Marshall Socks Pins . THE CHICAGO DEFENDER USE BEA COACH HARVEY HAS HIS MEN GOING GOOD Bisons Fail. Against Atlanta School By C. L. REYNOLDS Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—The Morehouse five took its fourth consecutive game today when they turned back the fast Howard university machine, 31 to 27, in one of the most thrilling and colorful displays of passing and dribbling witnessed here in years. The score sea-sawed throughout the fray and often it appeared as though it would go into extra sessions. With bewildering formations built around Beasley, their giant center, and a shooting attack led by Coates at right forward, the Howard five Morehouse leads, ending at the half with an 18 to 15 count in their favor. In the early stages of the second stamma Howard resorted to ball freezing in an effort to win on the three-point line. Time and again the Marion tide brought pressure to bear upon them while still deep in Howard's territory. Taking the ball here, under their own power, Howard was able to be aged to the count. A brilliant passing attack coupled with spectacular dribbling gave the Hisons a three point lead. Attack at guard was forced to be made by Howard, a 2-24 Howard. Ahmed Brown, a letter man of last year, who has been unable to make the grade this season, went in to attack at guard. The presence of Brown gave the Tigers new life, and the entire aggregation rallied. He ran one from the floor and sent a foul drift, which was caught by count. Woods fouled Brown while attempting to shoot. Brown made both tries and then sank one from a very difficult angle on the court, making a blast of the timekeeper's whistle brought the brawl to a close. For Howard the entire team functioned well. Their 'deceptive passing and speedy dribbling completely over the defense, the playing of Coates at forward, who took high point honors with seven points, and Beasley at center deserve special mention for their contributions. Johnson at guard also played well. For Morehouse A. Brown was the outstanding star, literally turning defeat into victory in the last five minutes of play, scoring the last seven markers trolled by his team and supporting him was Traylor at forward, who subbed for Crawford, another tower of strength in the Maroon quintet offense, who was forced to discontinue because of excessive persons.

SOUTHERN SPORTDOM By Eric Roberts PHILLIPS HIGH TAKES 2 GAMES FROM LINDBLON IT is evident that the holiday period had a marked influence upon us as it has been quite a while since we attempted to tell you anything concerning the state of affairs in Dixieland. You are quite aware of the fact that basketball has the center of interest, so with this in mind, a new team was formed and bad. Here in Atlanta to begin with the four conference teams are showing admirable form. Two pure competitions were played, Morehouse, after a heated and interesting battle, finally downed a stubborn Morris Brown "Wolverine" quite a bit. The new Morris Brown name Sounds all O. K. we think and from now on we will call them the Wolverines. Atlanta university with a practice in Alabama and the new Alabama and walloped Talladega. The teams have been slow to get going this year and conference games played before the holidays and as per custom we were called to Rome, Ga. But while we were in Rome no games were played, Ms. Elsie up to date could be able to give you any done you desire if you should become inquisitive about our annual Rome joust. SOUTHERN conference teams are in in basketball just as they did in football. That is, they are licking all outsiders and licking them de- clively. Clark university has started another brilliant year by walloping Camp Benning and the flashy Evans- ton five. Morris Brown has applied the inh to Paine and Howard. More- house has defeated Paine. Morris Brown and Howard. We were present out at Sunset park to see the How and Bison in it with the Purple Wolverine. The game was slow and replete with spill in the well-kept floor. The Georgians maintained a safe lead throughout the game and Howard never threatened. For the Morris Brown entry "Red" Bradley was a star and slung a half dozen shots from the middle of the court. He was ably assisted by Roberts. who darted in and out among the Howard men and slashed the net with one-handed heats. Morehouse, who had defeated Morris Brown som time, was re-see of become cocky about their game with Howard, for had not this same Morris Brown beaten Howard by a 43 to 25 count This nearly wrecked Morehouse's chances and it was only excessive fouls on the part of the Bisons that allowed them to win. WHILE this lull in battle has been going on we have been busy attempting to start something that might interest our readers, so in the last few days we have gone back to football. We have gathered together Neil Clisby Fights Draw With Lawson BY CHAS. O'NEAL Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 6.—Neal Clisby, Tom Jones' meal ticket, fought a standstill here tonight at the International arena before several thousand fight fans. Lawson, who fought here a few weeks ago, was with his aggressive style of milling, but tonight he appeared to be only a shell of himself. It was the opinion of those who trained and trained a stall. Nevertheless, the fight was one of the best seen in the arena. Clisby proved to be the clearest man seen in a local river. He was a veritable ghost, dodging, weaving, shifting and ducking the blows from the mighty Lawson. Little boxing was done throughout the city, both men stood toe to toe and slugged with all their force. Clisby, weighing 195, is the logical opponent for George Godfrey. Black, heavierweight stabate of Clisby, scored a three round K. O. over Billy Lions of Des Moines, Iowa. It is the opinion of the K. C. fight fans that Clisby is faster than Billy and will beat him if they meet me. HOWARD UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL TEAM a few all-Southern selections by southern coaches and officials and hope they will meet your approval. The coaches know the players who will be selected.

The season was Friday against Tilden Tech at the latter's gymnasium, 41th St. and Union Ave. In this fray Phillips' team was playing against Lindblom, pinging their battle, 21 to 17, and the heavyweights winning, 23 to 17. By defeating Tilden and Lindblom, respect was earned, running that they were second raters. Both Tilden and Lindblom were given an edge over Phillips because of their preseason records. They played a bang-up game and experienced a little difficulty in winning. "Runt" Phillips, captain of the Phillips pony team, started the game with a bang. Miller and tossed in the pumpkin while standing under the basket. He was followed closely by Curley and Lindblom trailed Phillips 7 to 5. The superior shooting of Pullins and Carey put Philips out in front, to 17. as the whistle blower for the third quarter. The airing fury kept Lindbom's scoring down during the third quarter, but the far Southsiders came back to life when Coach Harris sent in his entire second team. The final whistle ended with Pullins, with five chances at the hoop, made good three free throws, while Lindbom tossed in seven free throws out of 13 chances. Carey, Pullins and Harper did the best work for Philips "Kansas City" Smith's basket from the free throw line as the second half was ending gave Philips heavies a 15 to 12 victory to Lindbom in the second half. The game was nip and tuck and furnished thrills galore for the more than two thousand students. Lindblom took the lead on Palt's free throw. Captains Byas's basket from near the side lines put Phillips into the lead that was Tower Reilly, quashed. Phillips led at the quarter 6 to 3. At the half time they were in front 10 to 5. The third quarter saw Lindhom trailing, 13 to 10. With a minute to play, Smith caught a pass from Byas and tossed in the ringer that put Phillips on top as the final gun fired.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1928 RD U PAUL QUINN WINS,20 TO 0, FROM TEXAS Post Season Football Game a Thriller Waco, Tex., Jan. 1.—Seven thousand football enthusiasts helped Ray Sheppard's Paul Quinn eleven ring down the curtain on football today as the sun beamed down its rays on a New Year's crowd that saw the Tigers defeat the Texas college team, 20 to 0, in the hardest fought game of the season. A chill wind, such as Texans call chill but to the average northerner it was like a September day. Out of the eastern part of the state, supported by 1,000 followers who came on a special train, the boy from Tyler hit this city in high spirits, but they left downcast because their team was low in the pockets, but they still had respect and praise for the victors. Captain Kirven and L. Williams played their last game for Paul The days of the famous Bullet Jackson was recalled to the minds of the Tiger rooters when in the third quarter Skelbo Williams culled on Randall to carry the pigskin in an off tackle smash which turned out to be a 70-yard sprint for a touchdown. few minutes later, after receiving the kickoff and working the ball to within scoring distance, William shot a forward to Gentry who made the remaining 10 years and then Skelbo place kicked for the extra point giving Paul Quinn a 13 to 0 lead. Late in the fourth stanza Cecil Jones went over for the last touchdown and Williams again booted the point, and the boss for the last point and the post season game passed into history.

WESTERN MAGNATES IN CONFERENCE SPORTS SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1928 F. DOUGLASS HIGH CARRIES OFF THE TITLE New York Juniors Win Track Meet New York, Jan. 8.—Five junior high school records fell and one was tled yesterday afternoon at the sixth annual P. S. A. L. junior high school indoor track and field meet held at the 13th Regiment armory, Brooklyn. Foremost among the record breakers was William Sinnowitz of pub. school, 139, Brooklyn, who heaved the eight-pound shot 51 feet 3% inches, to better the old record by 2 feet 2% inches set on Jan. 24, 1925. Sinnowitz, a short, stocky youth, also bettered the old mark on his first trial throw. Over 2,500 persons witnessed the meet, which drew more than 500 contestants. Awards were given for first, second and third place in each event. Those were donated by the Herald Tribune. Old records got their worst beating in the relay races, where three out of four fell, the 820-yard unlimited chasing race the only one to stand untouched. The new record for the 90-pound class went to Fred Douglass, which also established a new mark in the 120-pound class. Clark school was best in the 105-pound class, establishing a new record of 0.524-5. three-fifths of a second better than the third mark. Public school 139, Fred Douglass, Jr., made up wholly of our boys, won the team title with 38 points, successfully defending last year's victory. Douglass runners were winners in the 40 and 60 yard dashes and three relays, to say nothing of frequent seconds and thirds in other events. Clark was second with 21 points, followed by Isaac Remsen with 18. East New York and Dewey were fled for fourth place with nine points. Harold M. Osborn, bespectacled American Olympic high-jump star, was one of the honorary judges, officiating in the finals of the more important dashes. Osborn admitted that this meet was but the second of its kind and that he was able to attend and showed considerable surprise when record after record fell in each event. Osborn, not new to the record-breaking game himself, competed in the highlights of the club's best-place field meet at the 16th Public school 139 of Manhattan sent a squad of more than 50 runners to the meet, about 90 per cent Negroes. They had things much their own way yesterday, flashing out in front of the start of many races and holding the heads until the tape. When asked why he thought so many "Negro stars" could be found in the junior meets and yet comparatively few in the college and Olympic meets, Osborn stated that he believed that a racial peculiarity brought their development to a peak before the white runners reached the stage. Tanchum Alexander Hamilton's century star, clipped two-fifths of a second off the old record by outstepping Carlos of Douglass, by three feet in the fast junior time of 11 seconds flat. Isaac Remsen scored twice in the 70-yard flash, placing Gross and Helplig five first-place and three respectively. Gross's time, 6-3-5 seconds, equaled the old mark set in last year's meet. In the 70-yard dash the winner, Henderson of Paulding, missed the old mark by one-fifth of a second, but in the sixth the slow time of 8 seconds was good enough to take the event.

HE AIN'T GOING TO WALK NO MORE THE FEDERAL MILITARY AVIATION CORPS Correct Rating for Tennis Players in Chicago Needed When the alumni of Tuukeges read in The Chicago Defender that the fault of the alumnus of our schiehe was that they didn't ap- pear the book, they read and read about Knute Rockes of Notre Dame getting a fine car and BY RACQUET WIELDER As Chicago's tennis players hung up their racquets and settled down to a winter's meditation on "who won and why," they were suddenly confronted with a rating published in which the mysterious rating committee announced Chicago's so-called best players. The term "mysterious" is used deliberately, for the members of the American Tennis association here were more than perplexed to learn of the existence of the so-called "local rating committee." Investigation revealed some very strange facts. A gentleman who demonstrated the necessity of purpose, one who admits that he "isn't sure that he belongs to the American Tennis association," and in fact doesn't, has created an imaginary "rating committee" and imaged the rating of players for 1927. Both the members of organized and of unorganized tennis were mixed up and numbered in this "rat committee" that was formed and reason for mixing the two groups the "chairman" of the "rat committee" said that these ratings were not required to encourage players in the unorganized group. The process of reasoning followed to achieve such a conclusion was protested and the "chairman" said that the players should be given separate ratings. That is, the organized tennis players should be given a rating based on play in the tournament and the players by the method adopted to make the present ratings—that of strolling along the Washington park tennis courts and observing players in action—given there by means of guess work. Nothing could be more ridiculous than these ratings. In the first place the "rating committee" admits that the players involved in the official rating committee in Chicago. What right has any individual, unauthorized, to send tennis ratings to the press from the rating committee. What could be more important than the 22 men tennis players and 20 women tennis players in Chicago. The American Lawn Tennis association (white) has 12 clubs in its Chicago association. From the 12 clubs, 10 men and 10 women, in report 45, men and 20 women, and in the daily press only this week, 10 men and five women were rated. The American Tennis association has two clubs, 10 men and 10 women in its Chicago group, and they had only three sanctioned tournaments in 1927. Thirty-four men and 14 women participated in these tournaments, and they had only women respectively receive ratings? This wholesale effort to rank players has resulted, as far as quality is concerned, in many players being given a group of personal attention, with varied degrees of success, to play tennis. To consider as a winning tennis player a duo to whom the team is accustomed to playing a ball into the net as a means of getting an imposing bay window access to make the term "banking save" more worth applying to. Persons who do not become a member of clubs under the auspices of the A. T. A. have no chance of winning a tennis competition it would be considered impossible—in fact such stupidity not be considered at all, group this jest makes us ridiculous. These stupid and unofficial ratings further have the effect of discouraging players to enter organized tennis play, for why should they exert them when ratings are given indiscriminately to anyone who owns a tennis racquet. Instead of encouraging unattached tennis players, the "rating discouraging organized players, if the report were to remain unchallenged. After the ratings were released, the writer telephoned the "chairman" of the tennis association, and the records for tournament play were. He didn't know-exactly, but thought that most of them were at the home of one of the prominent tennis players that home and secured these records which had positively and upon con- about the coach of Georgia Tech getting a Buck sedan, the Tuskegee folks decided that Cleve Abbott, late of South Dakota, who has succeeds in straight years of football without a defeat, they bought Cleve a car. fession of the "committee," not been used to make the ratings. The "committee" generously says that if the player is not satisfied with his or her rating, for them to challenge them whom they think they can beat and give the returns of a two-out-of-three match of this type to the committee. Can you imagine such a challenge you could imagine taking of tennis players? How ridiculous to ask a player to make a personal challenge to receive a rating which is already determined by tournament activity. A player has not been in tournament play he has no right to any rating whatever. You can to the tennis players to defend themselves against this type of unauthorized publicity. A careful review of the records for 1927 by a representative of this publication has given the following as the correct Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. These ratings are not, however, official, as they now stand. As a means of helping, if it is possible, to correct some of the blunders of the tennis rankings, the Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. These ratings have been carefully compiled and it is suggested that the two club, Prairie Tennis club and Washington Park club, club, review and check ratings have been below and adopt them as official. It is further suggested that in the future either an official rating committee be appointed by the clubs or a third should issuance of any rating whatever.

CLEVE ABBOTT WILL RIDE IN KING'S STYLE Alumni of Tuskegee Gives Him Auto Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 7.—Football has its rewards other than victories on the gridiron and the cheers of enthusiastic fans. And one who knows that now is Cleve L Abbott, resourceful coach of the Tuskegee Tigers, for four years undefeated on the gridiron of the nation. Coach Abbott is now driving a handsome 1928 model Chevrolet sedan, a gift of admiring alumni, faculty and friends of Tuskegee institute. Presentation of the keys to the car was made by Dr. Robert W. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, at a game where Moton thanked the Tuskegee mentor not merely for the victories which his charges had won, but also for the spirit of sportmanship which he had demonstrated. The student boy as a whole, Coach Abbott, deeply moved by the presentation, expressed appreciation for the gift, and declared that he could not have been his without the whole-hearted support of the principal, alumni, faculty and students of Tuskegee. It was no empty meaning that the audience received such a kindness, Coach Moton, sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Under the tutelage of Coach Abbott, who came to Tuskegee in 1923, he played 45 football games. For the first four-tied and one was lost. The one defeat suffered in four years of competition was early in 1923, when Morehouse played 9 to 0. During this four-year period Tigers have scored 1,246 points against 121 for their opponents. Athenians Split Even in 2 Games Baltimore, Md., Jan. 7.—The Baltimore Athletes divided their games of the past week. Monday they met the Quaker City Elks in Philadelphia, losing by a 39 to 15 count. Friday on the home court they defeated the Monumental Elks, 25 to 22. Monday's contest found the Greens meeting a more experienced and rugged aggregation. While managing to hold their own for 30 minutes of the game, the power of the old panther machine asserted itself, and the team's seldom seen on any court and Davis giving an exhibition of the most accurate kind of shooting, the Athenians were left far behind in the closing minutes of play. The half the Quakers led at 9 to 5. # Quaker City Elks (18) B. F. P.

It might be said here that at no time since the league has been organized has such harmony been seen nor such a businesslike procedure taken place. Much credit is due President William C. Hueston, who, outside of the baseball world, is a regularly elected commissioner of the grand lodge of Elks and grand master of the Odd Fellows of the state of Missouri, a lecturer, an attorney and, according to his daughter, is a pretty good cook when at home. A man with all those qualities or better yet, professions, might be expected to rule, and rule he did, but the man was most pleasing to those assembled. The following club owners were in attendance: R. T. Jackson, of the Irvingham Black barons; L. M. Lochman, of the Mckinley Q. J. Gilmore, of Kansas City, Mo., who is secretary and treasurer of the league, as well as the director of publicity; William E. Trimble of Princeville; William A. Browne of American Giants; Steve Pierce and William Moiesey, representing the Detroit Stars; S. M. Terrell of the Cuyahoga Amusement company of Cleveland; William W. Kent and Dr. G. B. Key, of the St. Louis Stars; Thomas, Wilson, owner of the Nanhuva Elite Giants, and Constable Harry Sinclair, sergeant-at-arms of the meeting. After a few words of welcome by President Hueston on Thursday, the able Indiana jurist throw a bombshell into the water, the most impiring addresses, ever given before any body of baseball men and in this address were some recommendations that even surprised the member of the league. The president had cleanly told them had not been so "dumb" in baseball matters as some thought, that he had been able to sense faulty situations to such an extent that these recommendations were many things that had embarrassed them during the past few years, and the speech was met with a five-minute applause. None of the matters hit in the president's address was the conduct of the ball players, the large number of players carried on the pay roll, the umbrella situation, the raising of the entry fee, the subject of fines and the presence of men connected with the game. The speech was accepted by the committee appointed by acting President R. T. Jackson, who took charge of the conduct during the address of Judge Hueston. The report of the secretary and treasurer, Q. J. Gilmore, was read, also the report of the world series, the report of the auditing committee and that committee reported back to the directors and the report was okehed and adopted. The following clubs will be in the 1928 circuit: American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs, St. Louis Stars, Detroit Stars, Birmingham Black Barons and the Cuban Stars. The team was referred to the teams was referred to the president of the league, who was instructed to visit that city and act upon his findings. The same was done about the owner, Wilson, seeks to be an associate club, but may make the eighth club in the circuit in case Memphis falls to qualify. The owner of the Memphis Red Sox was not present at the meeting nor was he represented by proxy. Mr. Wilkerson acted as representative of the Cuban Stars of Havas, who are owned by August Mollus. A joint meeting of the two leagues, the National and the Eastern league, will be held this month, the date of the said meeting to be named by President Isaac Nutter of the Eastern league, and Judge Hueston, president of the Western league. All minor detaials claims against different club owners and against the league were voted on and disposed of. The meeting terminated after a rift between the newspapers for their part in the success of the league in 1927. Most of the directors got away for home Friday night. Judge Hueston, president of the Western league, and J. L. Wilkerson remained over for a couple of days to straighten out some matters pertaining to their clubs and several talks of trades were decided upon nothing definite was decided upon. The president of the league will leave for Cleveland in a few days and from there will go to Detroit to attend the sum of the trip in these columns in the near future. "I received one of the most enthusiastic, yet the most orderly, receptions by the citizens of the little British Honduras that I have yet witnessed, said the soldier making a good will flight through the Central American countries. Perhaps many do not know that this splendid didtribute goes to members of our group who inhabit this country. We all feel proud that we have done this without question and in all earnestness." --- WATCHING CORE BOUND # Standing Havana ..... 615 Almendares ..... 606 Cuba ..... 606 # Batting Havana ..... 624 Almendares ..... 642 Cuba ..... 624 # Fielding Pitches Record O.

SPORTS BENSON WILL LEAD THE1928 CLARK SQUAD Is Re-elected; Team Loses 3 Stars Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—The Clark University Athletic association entertained the 1927 Panther football squad here with a banquet in Warren hall. The re-election of Arthur Benson as captain proved to be very popular. As a leader he has been first class and his play has won him much praise. ```markdown ``` He also placed on Coach Harvey's team as an all-Southern center. His contagious enthusiasm and inspired fighting qualities make him a most valuable man. Coach Sam Taymour, the head coach of the squad. There are 25 letter men and 23 are scheduled to return next fall. The men leaving this year number 12 and 14, who have done well as Clark athletes. In losing Newton Cobb, the Panthers must part with one of the best defenses in the conference. He will every minute challenge Clark and game never did the opposition outgue him. Leslie Baker, who performs well in the team, His hunting and defensive work will be missed. The last man who has played his last game for Clark is Skelton. In the line he 200 pounds were a bulk. Another shock to the Clark supporters was the announcement that Coach Charles 'Ferry' probably will be the next coach of another year. Coach Perry has seen varied experience in this particular field and his loss would be felt to the North Carolina as captain of the champion Bennett college team. As a member of the U. S. army he became captain of an army football team under the tutelage of Chick Mehan. It was during this time that he took a course under the late J. R. McCormick and as head coach at Samuel Huston in 1924 developed the westerners into a first-class outfit that won the championship. He was an assistant to Coach Taylor he has done wonders in making the Clark team what it is today. So there have been changes in how the head of every loyal Clark man as he leaves. He served as a tutor for the backs and Clark for the past two years has been credited with having the best backfield in the South. POSEY PLANS MORE RAIDS FOR PLAYERS Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 9.—The Homestead Grays are stirring about in their preparation for the 1928 season. Though it is too early to say anything definite as to just how "Cum" Posey, the manager of the Homestead Grays, will have his forces lined up for this year, the fans are looking for a couple of new faces. Posey promised his local patrons some new faces for 1928, but not enough last season to make the best record of any of the top ten teams. And a manager does not have a great deal to ask for when his team best meet an opponent with the fifth mark of the year. Aside from beating all of the local talent, it will be remembered that the Homestead Grays made their first step in the so-called "fast company" of the East Coast, where several game trailing to their belt. Col. James J. Kennan of New York can tell more about this, as it was when he was a junior at the less abandoned of the lads from the Steel city. The Grays scored decisively in every one of the games except one, being taken by the Crew's crew, but the Grays were not so far behind. The changes which Posey complained about the infield department. He is thinking of letting one of his pitchers go and getting another in his place. But Posey is pum in subjects to the Grays, and he definite. He and Charles Walker are going to do a little skirmish during the next couple of weeks. By the time Funs both East, and West, will be on the anxious seat as the Grays have finally convinced them that they can burst capable of competing with the best in all circles.

Jan. 3.—Jimmy Dougherty, manager of George Godfrey, the heavyweight, today answered Tex Rickard, New York promoter, with regard to his statement that "Godfrey was the worst fighter I ever saw." Dougherty claims that it was a Negro who first gave Rickard his start. He says that Rickard, slept, drank and ate with Jack Johnson. Dougherty further charges that the heavyweight boxing situation is handled by gamblers and calls Tex Rickard chief of the "ring." Rickard, according to Dougherty, "wants to see Godfrey heaten. Dougherty's reply to Rickard's statement follows: statement follows: "Tex Rickard is quoted as saying, 'that as a heavyweight contender and that Gene Tunney would not fight a Negro.' Rickard should be the last one, the world to make such a statement." "Negroes picked him up out of the slums in Goldfield, Nev. Joe Gans earned for him his first dollar in the ring. He made him prominent. Frank Sutton, a prominent Colored man of Pittsburgh, tells me that when Rickard came East to secure Johnson that he was the same bed with Johnson in his home. Claims Tex Is Biased "Now he is trying to injure and deprive Godfrey from his just dues because he belongs to that same. Negro race. Negroes put Tex Rickard in the game and made him fa- mier. He was a good driver him out of the boxing game because that public sentiment is going to rally around Godfrey because he is a good clean man and an American soldier. The boxing game as far as the heaviest division is concerned, is handled by a lot of professional gamblers. "Godfrey's record is clean and he'd have to enter the tournament. He's not a managera acknowledged, would have no chance with Godfrey. He'd have to ante Godfrey if he thought anyone could kick him. He told Joe Woodman that he would be Dickards's judgment of Godfrey is the one because it doesn't amount to anything." Y GOPHERS WINNERS IN 2 CAGE TILTS On Monday night, Jan. 9, the Gophers defeated the Watch club by a one-sided score of 27 to 6.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN AND AROUND NEW YORK HEADQUARTERS,173 WEST 140TH STREET Tid-Bits of New York Society BY BEASYE J. BEARDEN Outlined against the cold, clear azure sky, Out of the winter wind, on a low roof ridge, Nestled between sunny mats, Are five same pigeons in a sleepy cave. Five blue-gray puffballs, still and warm and close. Sunlight in their breasts are burnished like bits of steel. Their satin throats glisten, glisten, and glow. Like starlight on wind-whipped gleam in June, Or as plum blossoms of May; Or slowly lifting veils of silver mist. At dawn, above the beauty of blue sea— An five gray pigeons dream and nod and dream, Five blue-gray pigeons in a sleepy row. —Emma Green.
