Houston Informer

BASE BALL! FINAL EDITION VOL. V. GETTING 'EM TOLD BY C. F. RICHARDSON. OUR FIFTY YEAR BEGINS. This issue marks the beginning of the fifth year in the journalistic career of The Houston Informer, whose first issue appeared May 24, 1919. The only impressions have been encountered by our journalistic barque, but the old ship has weathered the rogious and tempestuous seas and reached port safe and sound, despite fears of some mechanical impressions in malicious machinations of others. During the past four years The Informer religiously arrived to christen wholeness and editorialize on the issues of the day according to its own opinions and best the proof that such a course in meet and proper one has been undertaken and paced deuces understake and resorted to by not a few condemnation and paced deuces racial group. The best instrumental are perhaps, in our human fabric. If they are not necessary, they serve the purpose, for they certainly The Houston Informer, only four years old, has the largest and widest scope in the Southwest, and is conceived as the place of the most poetic piece and spokeman for all forward-looking and spokeman in this society. Without gloring or boasting, we thank to our thank many thousand and maintain such a large circulation us so materially in building up and maintaining such a large circulation foreign, who employ space herein. The Informer management is grateful and capable of producing a better newspaper and establishing a larger bona fide. What The Informer has accomplished in its brief career, we shall not contend with. The Informer's face is set to the morning and its ship lists no doubt the passing breeze. The Informer is in the past. The Informer shall speak the truth and deyance unrighteousness in both church and states as God gives its blessings. No apology is necessary for our past labor and we shall strive to do our part in the church. We are necessary to be necessary at the termination of this year or any other year.

Let's all pull together for a greater petition; mention it to your friends; trade with our advertisers and tell them you saw ad们 in The Houston Informer. "YETH THUR." GAME'S ON! In trying to get you told in this column last week something about the diamond career of some of the baseball warriors and constellations that will be seen in action when the Colored Commercial Club team meets the local postal carriers at West End Park, Wednesday, June 6, we did not have space to mention all of the steps who will cavort on the diamond in this memorable classic for the benefit of Union Hospital. Through the courtesy and big-heartedness of Mr. Charles Caffey, manager of the Houston Black Buffaloes, the West End Park has been secured for this occasion at a nominal rental, and the promoters confidently expect the Houston public to turn out in mass and help a worthy cause, to say nothing about seeing a sensational, scintillating and thrilling ball game. The managers of the two opposing clubs state that some of the additional stars to be seen in action are: Dr. T. E. ("Teddy") Bryant, stellar, slamman at Wilberforce in bygone years and whose salary whlp has been bathed at the fountain of penominal youth; J. T. Meridith, the new fame as a "shoe jens" outfielder at Weimar when General R. L. Isaac, who starred at Prairie View, graduated to Atlanta and later returned to Houston as a magate; John H. ("Shano") Collins whose war club is wont to wreak havoc upon the old horsehide and give the gardeners plenty of exercise; Dr. H. E. Lee, who says that he was "sum-star in his college days (we must take his word, as they did not keep records). THE HOUSTON INFORMER Houston Post-Office Carriers Team Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us in the above picture the fast club of the Houston Postoffice Carriers, who will clash with the Galveston carriers at West End-Park Wednesday, May 30, (Decoration Day).

The Islanders have sworn eternal vengeance and will invade Houston determined to cop the Decoration Day encounter. On Wednesday, June 6, Houston carriers will meet Colored Commercial Club at West End Park in a b game for Union Hospital, judging from present info this game will be a hum "humdingswell." This game be called at 4 p. m. There is talk of an injunction to take place at the Prisoner bringing their ambulances on "black marshair" to the park to care for the prisoners. Upward from street talk and office comment, this is going to be the "name of the century" and it will be taken to the prison's season. Get your tickets now and go to the "Play Ball" in that stuartian voice of his at 4 p.m. Wednesday 16, June 2.

This game will be called at 4 p.m. ATTENDANCE RECORDS BROKEN AT LINCOLN; TWO SUPERS COMING All previous attendance records were smashed to smithereens at the Lincoln theater, beginning Sunday and Monday. The chief cause of all this establishment of new attendance record was the wonderful film, "The Town That Forget God." Booked originally for three days, so booked and persistent were House onions on seeing the great film spectacle that Manager O. P. DeWalt was forced to hold the picture over another day. The unanimous verdict is that it was one of the best offerings of the season. "Teas of the Storm Country," featuring the popular 104, Mary Pickford, which is booked for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday; and "Monte Cristo, to be shown later, are pronounced as the premiere of a production which drew capacity houses for four days and nights. BENDER HOTEL WAITERS STAGED SPRING PARTY One of the swettest, most odd and unique entertainments of the season was pulled off at Emancipation Park last Thursday night by the Hotel Bentley, a 19th-century ship with Marianne Bentley head water, as manager and director. The客人 was a shirt and shirt waltz in the party, and played the largest attendance of any invitational affair ever staged in the city. Even during the evening were the singing of the walters' quartet, composed of Merrill, James Brunner, and Katherine Hodgson, and sleight-of-hand tricks by Charles Hodgson, who proved himself an artist. An ice course was served and the Lumbanka jazz orchestra furnished the place, and the Chaucer Hodgson, reliably and inducted to their hearts, competed light fantastic to, which all engaged and inducted in to their hearts competently when the finale was played by the orchestra. The Bentley club employs more colored waters than any hostelry its size and standing in the thirty-one-foot-long room, and they seem to be giving entire satisfaction. The and still evergreen novel and new, in one of the many entailments planned by the Bentley water for the summer month. MAIL OF WEST BENEFIT Carnes in Libr TEN-PAGE PAPER SETS HIGH MARK As proof that The Houston Informer is the best medium for advertising purposes among colored people, last week's issue consisted of ten (10) pages, due to an unusual amount of local and foreign advertisements. Most of this copy just came in, as there was no special effort made by the advertising department for more than the ordinary amount of copy. The advertisers realize that The Informer is the paper that reaches more colored people (potential buyers and prospective customers) than any newspaper in South Texas, and since this is true, "The People's Paper" was their natural choice. Another thing: Colored people are learning to spend their money with those advertisers who seek their trade through colored mediums and it is indeed gratifying to see so many of the Informer's advertisers enjoying nice colored patronage. Without gloating, the management feels highly gratified with the volume of advertising in last week's issue and appearing in the issue that marked the end of the fourth year of the paper's journalistic career, made it the more significant and gratifying. By the way, have you noticed that this issue is no slouch and that The Informer carries more advertising than any four colored newspapers printed in Texas' This merely proves our oft-repeated slogan, "The Informer leads, others attempt to follow." Moral "If you don't want the pain of the colored people, then keep you out of the Houston Informer." Race Physician Adds Additional Equipment To X-Ray Instrument An Informer representative, while perambulating in the Taborian building, Wednesday, ran into the office of Dr. Lee, a successful physician, and was agreeably surprised at the wonderful equipment, modern and complete in every detail, that this race doctor has inimitable experience. Besides the X-ray machine, which the医院 installed some bit ago, he has recently added to this equipment an electrical instrument, illuminator for X-ray imaging, to him to do any class of X-ray work. The doctor has fitted up a special room for this work and is doing a deal of special work along this line. Dr. Lee said: "Our people deserve the best in equipment for real scientific research and proper diagnosis of cases, and I have decided that I shall be the best and the most modern equipment that money can obtain. I am now getting more real, genuine joy and pleasure out of my profession than I have ever had. I am always glad to serve my people with the latest scientific instruments." Dr. Lee has, perhaps, the best fitted office of its kind among local colored doctors, and is enjoying a very lucrative practice, which is concrete evidence that an artist or professional who "knows his stuff" and has the skills to succeed in his chosen field of human endeavor. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH SHORTAGE DUE TO TREASURER To Whom It May Concern: Thus the time has come that we, the members of Mr. Zlon Baptist Church, must speak for ourselves. The Texas Freeman, edited by Mr. C. N. Love, has had much to say regarding our business affairs for the past few months and in every instance The Freeman has uttered many false statements and thereby left many who read under the wrong impression. The church hereby sets its disapproval on the articles and the writer. There is no "bug under the chip," as was said by the Freeman and E. W. Scallion, extreasurer, has made no report clearing up matters pertaining to the church's financial affairs, so as to let the Freeman's "bug" from under the chip. Nobody that is connected with the church in any way or manner is responsible for the defiency in financial affairs of the church but E. W. Scallion. This fact has been made clear by the book now held by the church secretary, which came from the bank, showing how, when, and by whom this shortage came about, which the Freeman has discussed so much. We wish to brand as maliciously false the statement that we ever held church meeting until 2 a. m. The church feels that it is time to speak and let all who read know that there is no truth in articles that have been circulating through the Texas Freeman. The church, officers, pastor and members have all been very courteous to allow these false statements to circulate through the Freeman and have not heretofore resented them, even though Mr. Love has been saying many things in the Freeman that were untrue. It seems that all the Ananaxes are not dead: some are yet on the job with the Texas Freeman for their business, the Freeman and its editor will set up and take warning and keep out of the affairs that concerns the church. This article is not intended as a guide to the church, but a statement from the church setting herself right before the public. P. A. HICKS, Church Clerk W. E. C. MATTHEWS, Layman R. T. HORACE, Committee MGR. CAFFEY EXPLAINS SUSPENSION ORDER Apropos the suspension of Charles Caffey's Black Buffs from the Texas Colored League and the awarding of the berth to Ben Patterson's Black Buffs, an Informer representative interviewed Mr. Caffey Monday to ascertain the facts, and here is his version of the matter: "My club played in San Antonio on May 5, 6 and 7, and the home club made us no guarantee, with the result that we virtually went in a hole, due to poor attendance. While in such dilemma I received a wire from the president of the league ordering me to jump with my team from San Antonio, Texas, to Tulsa, Okla., despite the fact that the schedule called for a three-game series in Dallas on the 12th, 13th and 14th (dates designated for my club to play in Tulsa by league head). Having lost money in the Alamo City and not having any assurance regarding the size of the guarantee Tulsa would make, if any, I did not carry my club to Tulsa and thus my team was suspended, when the most severe punishment should have been a fine. The report that I failed to deposit my money with league head is true, but the understanding was that said de posit was to be made after receipts of first series of games. Rain and poor attendance made this impossible at San Antonio, and before we could return home our team has been peremptorily suspended from the Texas Colored League. I am perfectly willing for any man to pass judgment whether this was a fair and square deal. I am not whining, but merely stating the facts in the case." PRICE: 7 CENTS NO.1 DIXIE NEGROES ANNEX HONORS; TEXAN AT YALE Joseph J. Rhodes, of Texas, one of the fourteen colored students at Yale University, won second place in the first term examinations this spring.

Rankin, a Savannah Negro youth studying medicine in the University of Illinois, recently took the examination for the position of senior bacteriologist in the Chicago Health Department. Out of 52 competitors, only six passed the examination and Rankin came second among the six. PLANS LAID FOR "JUNETEENTH" At the mass meeting held at Carnegie Library Monday night, at which Prof. W. E. Miller, member of Emancipation Park Board, presided until officers were elected by the citizens present, it was decided to hold an emancipation day celebration at Emancipation Park on Tuesday, June 19, 1923. Several present spoke on the importance of observing this day annually and urged that the colored citizens of Houston and Harris County observe the race's natal day in Texas this year. The question of a parade was discussed at length, and, after much discussion a vote was taken and the side opposed to a parade this year won out, thus the street pageant, which has not been so creditable the last few years, according to the opinion of the parade opponents, will not be staged. C. F. Richardson was elected chairman and J. Samuel Green, secretary. The following committees and chairmen were elected: Arrangements, J. Sam Green; J. H. Anderson; publicity, Homer E. McCoy; program and entertainment, H. H. Lethridge. It was voted to vest the above officers and committee heads with the power to select the chairperson. The will be announced at a later date.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1923. THEATRICAL STUNTS IN CHURCHES What will some of our colored churches do next, we often wonder. For years they have conducted church fairs, bazaars, raffling affairs and other kinds of amusements that would do better conducted in some place other than the house of God. Recently they have thrown wide their doors to style shows and reviews, removing the altar of God that the citadel of Dame Fashion might be enthroned in its place. But the latest thing now in church circles is pure theatrical vaudeville, featuring sleight-of-hand tricks and other acts staged in the "big time" theatrical circuit. No wonder people are losing respect for the church, when it indiscriminately lets down the bars and permits anything to be pulled off not only in the church building, but even in the pulpit, merely because an admission fee is going to be charged and some of the proceeds donated to the pastor or some auxiliary of the church. What is the mission of the church and for what purpose was it originated and established? Should the temple of God be thus desecrated by such worldly stunts and is it possible for the Holy Spirit and these carnal and theatrical amusements to occupy the house of Jehovah at the same time? If sinners can visit a church and witness the same stunts and acts seen at some theatre or medicine show, what impression can the church ever hope to make upon said sinners in pointing and leading them to higher and nobler things? Talk about your idol gods, but it is beginning to look like too many of our churches are setting up and worshipping the almighty dollar instead of the Lowly Nazarene. In all earnestness and sincerity, The Informer can not subscribe to the prevailing idea and practice that the temple where God is supposed to meet man and man worship and commune with his Maker, is the proper and right place for staging theatrical performances. If these acts and practices continue, it will not be long before we shall be witnessing marathon dancing contests, boxing bouts, wrestling matches and hippodrome bills in some of our churches. If Christ became righteously indecent at the money changers defiling and polluting the temple and chased them out, we wonder what He would do were He to visit some of our churches and witness a vaudeville performance taking place right where the altar should be? If churches must stage or sponsor vaudeville performances and theatrical shows, let them rent some secular place, such as a hall or theatre, and there conduct such program. But let us preserve the sanctity and sacredness of the church by holding or staging nothing in it that savors of worldliness and that even borders on or approaches the theatrical; for as often as we tolerate or condone such, we simply weaken the church as a force for permanent and lasting good and as a human instrumentality for the salvation of souls and reclamation of mankind.

THE INFORMER'S PLATFORM: THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1923 Wiley captures the baseball pennants of the Southern Athletic Association and wins a few low-lows; outcome of the first game with Texas College was never in doubt after the first inning, which Wiley captured a two time double, Lester Wiley's two and two runs during the entire game. Wiley's game was an uplift affair for Wiley, as he had a head early and held it until the eighth inning, when Wiley tied the game with a 10-9 victory. The scoring win, Baker and Lucas picked this latter game for Tex. Lucas went in against Paul Quinn in Waco with one day of rest and held Dykes a home in the eighth for Paul Quinn's lone run. Paul Quinn's offerings easy the next day and hammered out a 14-3 victory. This was Wiley's only defeat of the game. In the next game played in Marshland "Hunter of Prairie View held Wiley's first game after which Wiley resorted to a type of baseball strategy" in the next game, which Wiley runs in one inning, which were sufficient to win the game. Lester and Dykes did the same in the next game, defeated Prairie View in the next game. He showed unusual coolness. Wiley and Bishop met April 27 and he came to war with, and with steering, the missed Locas, Wiley's hurry, for five runs in the first inning, but he came strong, and with steering, the missed Locas, Wiley's hurry, for five runs in the first inning. Wiley played an uphill game nearly all the way, scoring a score 4-5 in favor of Bishop and two in favor of Locas, but he left deep to center for a double with no one on bases, stole, third, and fourth. He attempted to catch Pace stealing second, when he had walked a minute before the game was called at the end of the inning. The next game was a walkaway for Wiley. Bishop was no far outclasses that her best was to stave off the final games with Samuel Hutton. The final games were with Samuel Hutton, who started the first one for Samuel Hutton, was taken out in the first inning, the lead he team gave him early in the second game was easily won by Wiley. Athletic Director "Himmel" Wetter, Coach Cox and others who assisted in the first inning, received credit, to the staining of the different teams when the season closed, May 12.

Sedbury of Paul Quinn is a good judge of catch and a dangerous batter. His through is off, however. Williams of Texas College is a very good batter and a fair fielder. Parker of Wiley put up about the best performance in right garden. He is fast, a good base run and a good罚球 line. His is the throwing arm, although weak in his presentam, although not playing up to form, made some sensational plays during the season. Pardee of Wiley batted in more runs, had less steals and attempted steals upon him, caught the ball and batted in the top of the steals, and held runners close to the base than any other catcher in the conference.

Any store that resides and incorporates the race's patronage will advertise in colored newspapers, and when they do not advertise in papers published by our racial group, it is�rama factile evidence that your patronage is not the same as it is up to us for ourselves conspicuous by our absence. Then, too, don't purchase your merchandise in these "holes in the walls" and 2x4 joints, who, like the Dead Sea, take in everything and give out nothing. The time has arrived for the colored people to have some racial mis-respect and stop spending their money with merchants who are base ingrates and mercantile boges. Read the advertisements in all issues of your race newspapers and then practice the doctrine of business rectification, which are those of the chants and business institutions that carry ads in your journals. It is a serious reflection upon our race to continue to enrich men who have been so poor for our trade, and if we would only buy a gray matte and make a few sacrifices, even if they are in the shape of chases, even if they are in the shape of throw our support to those merchants who throw some of their support to the poor, and commit a act that will have a three-fold blessing.
