COOLIDGE FOR ANTI-MOB LAW MOB LYNCHED WRONG MAN FINAL EDITION VOL. V. GETTING 'EM TOLD BY C. F. RICHARDSON. TRUTH BEING ADMITTED. We are somewhat surprised to see the frank and candid admirations in the recent issue of the Western Star, of the educational and educational Convention of Texas, regarding the trend of affairs in the Baptist family in Texas. Editor D. A. Scott of Dallas, himself a founding father of nominal life of the state, penned these lines, which similarly corroborate what we have repeatedly said and presented. Since the writer said the said editorial is not a layman and since he can be trusted, we have classed as "lighting the church" or being "agit the administration" his interests are interesting and illuminating. Without further comment, only we can receive the right to disclose some reasons later, we wish to reproduce the article which appeared under the capstone of the educational Convention. The sessions of the State R. Y. P. U. and S. S. convenions have just begun, and with the sessions held at Dallas last year they were indeed tame and uninhibited, but two hundred delegates, so Panton Harrison reports, and perhaps half that number, were given, perhap, first, the preparations being made to make the convention more uninhibited and some delegate; second, the failure of the secretaries of the convention to secure reduced rates for the convention, of unanticipated unanticipation which is now creeping into the convention, that culture, and the failure of the convention to secure some of the brethren, there is going to be a more serious falling off and the failure of the convention what has hitherto been the most lovable gathering the Baptists have had in the past, and the convention professional pumping and sweating to see some of the convention only in a gasoline way. There was entirely too much 'T' and 'Me', and too much 'U' and 'U', too much only in a gasoline way. Ego fairly took possession! MacGREGOR'S PASSING. The demin of H. F. MacGruean, for a number of years republican leader in Texas, though not a supporter, came as a shock to his house and those who had known him. He was in the falling health for some time, and the end was momentarily expected, yet his demise is a distinct loss to this city and his political legacy. Mr. MacGregor was never asked as a political warrior nor age, party in Texas for about ten years as national committee and built him a party whitely "white" in the Lone Star State. No worry appeal from colored people even in Texas, where he differed with him politically, none there was who could gain the decodex "charity" and adding worthy causes. He occupied a high place in the community, be a director in one of the strongest banks in the city and section and the owner of a bank. It is said that, when he became conditioned to bed and the doctor held his hospital bed, he felt his faith made him employ to his bedside and made him present of a neat sum of money, and he made the race man owning THE HOUSTON INFORMER NEW OPPOSES RAW DEALS TO P. O. EMPLOYES (By the Associated Negro Press) The United States government is able to protect all of its employees and has the disposition to do so is the burden of a letter received by Mr. Otto J. Deush, the State Secretary of the United States General Harry S. McLean. Mrs. Leese objected to having a colored man deliver her mail and when the local postmaster refused to remove the carrier letter, he threatened bodily injury to the carrier if a white man was not placed on the district. General New's letter has won general satisfaction from both white and black men in a state from which he halls, but from all over the country. The letter follows: My Dear Mahmud: Your letter of July 14, 1942, is serving as a mail carrier on the Indianapolis, Indiana, and he has been brought to my attention.

How Long! (By the Associated Press Press.) Jacksonville, Fl.—The Negroes of this city and county are greatly excited over the brutal tyranny of Ben Hart. He was arrested several times, or more white men. It is alleged that some Negro approached a white girl last Thursday at a point about three miles away, several "leading questions" and that during Thursday night the same Negro was seen by this girl peeping into her window. The matter was reported to the police, and the Friday drove to the camp where Ben Hart was employed as a wood chopper and attempted to arrest him, when his object Gun Picket (white), who had not been away from the premises, that he was a good citizen and would not be guilty of such an offense. The officer left without an arrest. at a late Friday night five or six automobile loads of white men appeared at the cabin occupied by Hart Carl Hort come out. They represented themselves an officers, placed handcuffed upon him and drove away with him. When the lynching bunch reached the city it it appears that they put Hart out of the car (tall handcuffed) and him from behind, riddling him with bullets. His lifespan body fell into the shooting came upon the scene and non reported it to the county sheriff, who with deputies, went to the scene and announced in the Sunday Times Union to the identity of the lynchers and posts to make the arrests at a bay. I believe that the tragedy was perpetrated by deputies and city policemen, and others believe that the KKU Klux Klan, who are professionals in the town, had occurred in the section within the past few years and nobody has been found guilty. A particular case that Hart is not the man who approached her. Hence, the innocence. The white man who lynched him, quite often get thirty for Negro blood. Such is the state of civilization here in Florida. DR. WALLACE HORT AT MARLIN. DR.

Washington, D. C.-President Coolidge will recommend a strong and potent anti-lychnine measure to the next congress, and promises to get behind it with all of the influence and power of the White House, is the announcement given out by C. Bascom Slemp, new executive secretary. It is understood that the president will not only ask for the enactment of all of the clauses of the Dyer bill, but will urge the penalties and jurisdiction be incorporated for the punishment by the federal authorities of masked and hooded organizations engaged in outrages upon American citizens. Washington has remarked the characteristic reserve that has prevailed with the president upon his policies in general, but in the matter of stamping out lynching the executive has broken the silence, and agreed to Mr. Slemp, he has broken it in a forceful and decisive manner. Recent depredations reported from the wood, leader of the minority and candidate for president, demonstrate the president, obstructed a vote on which men and women have been dogged by masked bands of marauders, are so deeply depicted by the president that he decries the anti-lychnine measure, and may say that he believes the present emergent condition will be difficult enough to bring them to an agreement. It is expected here that the bill will meet with the same opposition from the president, particularly from the South, that there will be offered sufficient time to fight against the Dyer bill. It will be opposed by the defenders of lynching to NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO. PLANS TO INVADE TEXAS AT EARLY DATE NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE CO.

In this editorial it was stated that the particular trouble was that, after paying a high price for a piece of property, the property itself did not contain those modern improvements and conveniences that go to make a first class home, and it was said further that the locations in many instances are in sections that prevent the development of an attractive home place. I say it positively, and I am sure Editor Richardson will agree with me, that in Forest Home lots are offered at very fair figures and on terms that make it possible for the enterprising man or woman to become the owner of a piece of property that will make a highly desirable home place and, at the same time, prove a safe and profitable investment. Forest Home is an exceptionally beautiful property. It is in a section of the city that is continually increasing in value, viz., the Third Ward, and through the center of Forest Home runs Holman Avenue, one of the well known thoroughfares of the city.

CRTSON ENT Had SALES AGENT YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM ADVERTISING The main thing an advertiser wants to do is to tell you plainly how many goods they are worthy of your consideration. You can learn that alone, because many things you are advertised are the things you buy and use in your regular daily life. By reading the advertisements, you can learn the names and read descriptions of the things that are best and most useful. But advertising teachers more than that. All advertisers try to make their advertisements themselves valuable to you. A good many people have learned a whole lot good, cheap and cheaply, healthy, ways to live comfortably, ways to keep the house and grounds looking well—they've learned all these things and many other things just by reading advertisements. Read the advertisements right along, and you will learn a good deal that will be helpful and enjoyable to you as you go through life. nd Care- ment ME Hadley 6924 PAGE THREE Hadley 6924 --- PAGE FOUR THE HOUSTON INFORMER SOUTH'S GREATEST RACE NEWSPAFER "It Gets You Told--Nothing Else!"

MOB-LAW OR MARTIAL LAW? In his Labor Day address to the miners of Eastern Oklahoma, Governor J. C. Walton of the Sooner State defended his action in proclaiming martial law in those counties where the law had broken down and hooded and masked terrorism had superseded the courts of justice and equity. The governor of Oklahoma put it squared up to his hearers and had them to understand that, despite criticisms and threats, he would wipe out mob-law from the confines of his state, if it required every militiaman and able-bodied man in that commonwealth to perform the act. The Informer has contended all along that mob-violence can not be handled nor suppressed with gloved hands and this paper was the first publication in the South to call the nation's attention to the menace and danger of the Ku Klux Klan. When this organization began its invasion of Texas in the fall of 1920, The Informer, in its issue of December 4, 1920, carried a front-page editorial on the organization and warned and advised the authorities, that, unless immediate steps were taken to suppress the order, civil disorders, chaos and confusion would remain. For during to write that "celebrated editorial", this paper was censured and criticised vehemently and bitterly by members of both races and many became estranged from the editor and paper, the former's life being threatened repeatedly, the plant being raided and publication boycotted and anathematized. But many of these former critics and enemies have lived to see The Informer's early and original content justified and predictions fulfilled. Instead of endeavoring to curb the depredations and activities of the organization when it first invaded the South, most of the officers and state officials were silent allies, since most of them were of the opinion that the state would not and rather impulse it to the idea "kill and injure "white supremacy;" and thus they saw in the order and its professed program an opportunity to either stay in office or ride into more power with the klan as the vehicle. Therefore, the indifference, apathy, connivance, moral cowardice and political opportunism on the part of peace officers was the result of the order and its rapt attention to its work of moral reformation; until, like the poisonous and deadly serpent, it had entwined itself around the body politic and began to inject its fatal poison and venom into it. Not only did the order make for disrespect for constituted authority, law and order, but it gave the lawless and criminal element a cue whereby they could perpetrate their nefarious actions and deeds "and pass the buck" to the masked and "invisible" order. Hence, today this country is being virtually torn asunder by bands of terrorists and arch-criminals, who, like a roaring lion, go about seeking whom they may devour and trampling the law of the land under their unholy feet. Like most Southern states, Oklahoma has been treated to an overreaction of objectionable malady and the patient (the state) was in a precarious condition. As the head-physician of the institution Governor Walton essayed to save the life of the patient, and being in such a critical state he prescribed a stringent medicine. When a patient is real sick, the doctor seldom administers sweet and pleasing medicine, but on the other hand generally prescribes medicine, which usually brings results and aids the ill patient to regain his health. If the doctor listened to the advice and protestations of his patients in prescribing a medicine that the patient wanted, the physician would soon make a good partner in an undertaking establishment and he could point with pride to his patients in some lonely cemetery. The good doctor listens at the patient, but generally writes a prescription according to his own knowledge of the complaint and the drugs best suited to restore the patient to his health. Like the old family physician, Governor Walton's latest prescription of martial law in those mob-infested counties of Oklahoma tastes very bitter to the guilty culprits and their supporters, but, if taken according to the directions, Miss Oklahoma will soon leave her sick couch and take her place among her hale and hearty sisters of the American commonwealth. Mob law has become so bold and brazen and defiant in this country, and particularly the South, that martial law appears as the only antidote for the poison. If the South had a few more governors like Governor Walton of Oklahoma and Lieutenant-Governor T. W. Davidson of Texas, the property and property of all citizens would soon be safe and secure for once in the South. These men, especially Governor Walton, may be called radicals and everything else but a child of God, and may, forsooth, be sacri- ficed upon the political altars; but their "radicalism" is calculated to have a very sobering effect upon our latter-day colony of mobbists and terrorists, whose depredations strike at the very foundation of our republican form of government and presage civil insurrections and domestic disorders of a most destructive and sanguinary nature. We have theorized and temporized with mob law entirely so long that the hideous monster now seeks to destroy everybody and whatever it be the humblest citizen or the established courts of justice and the law has enacted. Given an inch, mobocracy has taken an ell, and threatens to engulf America in turmoil, disorder, strife and unadulterated hell! Give us more governors like J. C. Walton of Oklahoma, who says that he will end mob law in that state at any cost, and the batting average of the lynching league will show a perceptible effect that some agent will soon improve in health and law and order will "hit on all six cylinders." The issue is sporely up to the state governments. Which shall it be: Mob law or martial law? WHAT'S THE TROUBLE AT PRAIRIE VIEW? The Informer is prompted to make this interrogation in view of the fact that there have been several resignations by members of the faculty of this state institution for colored youths, within the last few years; but during the summer there were wholesale resignations, some of the ablest members of the faculty quitting their post and accepting or seeking work elsewhere. All of which causes us to wonder what is the trouble at Prairie View. Having known Principal John Granville Osborne for nearly a score of years, we are reluctant to even surmise that he is the cause of these resignations. We have even been bold and pertinent enough to inquire of some of the resigning teachers and none places the blame on Principal Osborne. Where, then, is the trouble? Who is it that is making it so unpleasant and embarrassing at Prairie View that race teachers of known and proven ability, many of whom have given the best years of their lives instructing the youths of their race, are persona non grata? Is there some "higher-up" who is usurping his authority and by an autocratic and dictatorial policy driving away some of the most efficient and proficient members of the faculty? Is the fact that Prairie View has no autonomy and is a mere protectorate under the wings of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Bryan, responsible for this upheaval? Is it a fact that the heads of the various departments at Prairie View are allowed no latitude and authority in the management and conduct of same? Is it true that the female heads of departments at Prairie View are addressed by representatives from A. and M. College as "Sally," "Mary," "Jane," etc.? Is it a fact that members of the Prairie View faculty can hardly grunt without first getting an official permit from A. and M. College? Is the manner in which Prairie View is related to the Agricultural and Mechanical College blameable for this sad state of affairs? If Prairie View were removed from the managerial reins of A. and M. College, would a better situation obtain at this only state school for the education of colored youths? Why are so many of the colored teachers' salaries at Prairie View being reduced? Is this a "here's your hat—what's your husband?" A few intoxicated tryants trying to destroy a school just to foster their ideas about "Negro Education?" Has it come to pass in Texas that colored teachers can not teach children without being molested, embarrassed, humiliated, insulted and intimidated by certain "higher-ups"? What is the real motive behind all of this? Is it an effort to discredit colored teachers or demoralize and destroy the only institution of learning supported by the state for education, will drive speech and tell the truth? Are we coming to the sad and sorrowful spectacle of mobocracy in the school room, and, as usual, must the colored race be the chief sufferer of this latest malady and disease in the educational realm of the Lone Star State? The Informer, speaking for the colored citizens of Texas, is anxious to ascertain the trouble at Prairie View, and if no one in authority will dare speak and tell the truth, this paper will make its own investigation and publish its findings. Where there is so much smoke, there is bound to be some fire! Again we ask, What's the trouble at Prairie View? JAPAN'S AWFUL CATASTROPHE The civilized world has been horrified and shocked at the appalling and tragic disaster that has befallen Japan, the "Nipponese star,"—when a heavy property and human loss was exacerbated by a terrible earthquake and tidal wave in several of the leading cities of the mikado's empire, recently. This direful calamity is another of the sporadic subterranean and seismographic disturbances that frequently wreak havoc in the countries of the old world. Scientists assert that the Sea of Japan attains its greatest depth in close proximity to the island and that certain natural disturbances or phenomena precipitated the shock, which, apparently, resulted in the tidal waves and typhoons. At the tidal waves and typhoons, the damage and wreckage done by the earth's upheaval and commotion in Japan, the civilized nations of the world began to offer and rush succor and help to the distressed nation. News dispatches from Japan stated that the royal palace had been thrown wide to rich and poor, high and low—that station and caste had been temporarily placed in the discard. In hours of troubles, disasters and catastrophes the human heart contained for national, but pouts its sympathy and tends its aid to the distressed and sorrowing of all climes, nations and tongues. Truly it is a literal interpretation of the Scriptures, "Out of one blood God created all nations for to dwell upon the face of the earth;" for out of the koins of Adam sprend the entire human family. The great American heart, though speaking a different language, wombbed a different life, and came to Japan in her travail and sorrow, and already American ships, nations and bounty have been placed at the disposal of the Nipponese nation. Here again we see the absurdity and falsity of the modern song, "Laugh and the World Laughs With You; Weep and Weep Along You." Where, then, is the trouble? 15 COLONEL RICOCE CONNELIN GIMMONS, the celebrated orator, brilliant chemist, famed film producer, will deliver a lecture of his masterly proctect at the City Auditorium 16, 3-8, 201. The colonel will have a vital message to both races of the city and the opportunity to hear the smaller discusions and effects of the Negro experience. Several of the race's leading men have accepted an invitation to be present at Wiley College and secretary of the State Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation: Dr. A. B. Prince of Sharon, chairman local committee of that city; Prof. S. W. Huntam of Huntville, also member of the State Commission. Tickets are now on sale at People's Pharmacy, Lese's Shop, Organt City, and of the State Commission, minor county City, of the Buc. S. W. Johnson is the direct leader. It has been conclusively shown by the preceding article that the origin of the Nigra and his contributions to the advancement of the chilian world are commonly with those of the white man. There is not a scientific of truth in the art-requested statement that the Nigra is inferior, organically to other human beings, sparing biologically from North America. Then, recent experiments in the biological field, attested by men of the type of Professor Busein of Columbia University, prove beyond all doubt that the Nigra, but rules today under the humiliated law of nature, which decrees that race and fall, and race being permanently the ruling one, determines biophysical of ailing one, while the Nigra, turning from the darkness of oblivion, seen before from the ever-increasing glory of a radiant data. Then we three appear as it were a moving picture, a picture that inspires, encouragement and inspiration. Planning before us we are the Nigra, giving to the world the power to see them teaching the world the art of commerce, reaching the pandent city. WHATNOT COLUMN The statue of Zion in the Temple of Olympus was the third pillar. Philadelphus, the son of the king, supported work in still preserved in European museums, excavated the tomb of the king with a shaft of fine linen made pliable for the blood of the king, the pillar of the blood. The pillar was burned by fire in 408 A.D., about 750 years after construction. The pillar of the French revolution have in Haiti? In 1291, as a result of the French revolution, people of the French capital people of color burn of free percent in Haiti were French citizens. This decree raised a stern protest among the white residents, and France demanded that people of color be heroes organized a counter-revolution, and Great Britain and Spain, upon which the French organized a counter-revolution for a compass and pacification of the island. In August, 1792, in the hands of the French revolution, and immediately upon the arrival of the French SOUTHS GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER of Rome; another scene portrays Garcia carving intestines and casting a figure in a tomb in Jerusalem for the nightly libery in our her, founded by Nimrod, grandson of Ham, our own strel. The picture moves and we see the strel. The modern Negro appears a worker, but not a condemned and cursed mental, for the curse has been fulfilled. But a worker, not it hitherto of wood and stone, has been able to abolish the social law, which demeans ambassadors of all, white and black, who lack financial independence. Sturdily the Negro marches on to the heights. Having contributed in the war to the creation of the world client, he now teaches the world particularly the U. S., the meaning of the fatherhood of the U. S., the meaning of the fatherhood of man. Let us then, as men and women, cease whining. Let us be fully conscious of our powers and striving as fourteen sons of Victoriam Hamm, who was a slave, learn to loathe and to wait. SMALLWOOD HANDS Houston, Texas, Sept. 4, 1923. "I received some beautiful views. I traveled to Houston and I am sure that I was taken abruptly. You know it is said that you do not see anything in the race papers regardless of the news value unless paid for. It is very ruff that I have heard that a race business having money is willing to share some of my success with the Houston informer, which has always given Standard Ice Cream publicity since the first issue. I prize it very high as an advertising business. You want it road-hard have it in the Houston Informer." Allow me to say that, with the confidence of the race (and I am able to drive their business), and the patterns of their business, in the near future a modern ice cream plant with a first class cremery and ice plant in connection, with our boys and girls in charge, demonstrating to the commercial world that the贸�structure and market a worthy CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS K Deer Gus: I reckermembers very 'stinkly how I yusetler walk up 'an down Main Street w'1 wuz er singul man 'an watch de tagen on de diff articultes au tamen de tagen on de diff articultes au tamen de tagen on de diff articultes what shudn't be minchunh by mere man, in de show winders, an 'I was wan't tert say, "Gee, I also kink tuek keer uw er wife eey."

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1923. CAP AND BELLS ONLY A DETAIL Little Jackie was spending a holiday in the country and was highly entertained by everything he saw in the heat forced manner. The old red heels cackle to announce that she had laid an egg was a never-failing source of delight. He always wanted someone to get the egg immediately. One day he was allowed the privilege of going all by himself to fetch the egg. But he came up sniffing to his mother. "Oom, oommume," he cried, as he held up the fragments, "I had a fall, but it's all right, 'cause I didn't lose anything only the juice!" AS WILLIE HEART IT Guess Mr. Brown will he disappointed with his trip, pa? "Why, Willie?" "He said he was only going for the week, but knew he'd get strong." Dish-honored. He often looks like a suspicious man. It makes one feel suspicious. His wife has been throwing dishes. Solved. "Doctor, can you cure me from snoring? Do you only snore in your sleep? Yet, but I snore no loud that I can hear." Well, the best thing is to sleep in another room. A Thing That Rarely Pals hodge-Then you believe in marrying Marie-Ok. I wouldn't say that exactly; but when you marry a man just as well as to know for sure that everything about him you will always like. Was and Is. "Will you appraise my engagement ring for me?" "Turk was maybe, but not now. This is plain." Trial by jury. "Is the distinguished lawyer looking up authority? "No we have marked a few fakes for him to use on the jury. He has no sense of humor himself." It Was Finally Finished. On the way home from the church-) "What is that I call a finished woman?" Her Husband-Yes, but do you know, Iought it would never be. DOMESTIC BLISS. Wiley-I saw a little little hat today. Hobby-That's just a few ways looking for the clearest in-terestedly prized. DOMESTIC BLISS. Willy—I—a w a w the dearest little bit that Hubby—That's just like you—a w a winging for the dearest in the most modest of the modernly prized. You've Listened to Her, I have no use in Walkers; this is all you need to topot talerra. Really Unpleasant Miss Wells Laing—I declare, I begin to feel that I am growing old. It's really unpleasant. I must be, especially for one who has been young no longer. A Choice Assortment. Wood—I was surprised to learn that Stone went fast broke. I bought he had all kinds of money. I bought a dress, knots, nearly German marks, Austrian knives and a few thin dices. Careful Information. "Excuse me, sir, but could you tell me if there is a man staying in this hotel with one eye named John. I don't recognize him from your description. Do you know the name of his other eye?" they three years old. "Tat, poor dear. She should have waited a few years and not deprived some man of the fun of teaching her."

Cleveland has picked up Knobel, former University of Michigan player. He has been a star. Speaker should know something about it. BEST PINCH HITTER IS MATTER OF DOUBT BEST PINCH HITTER IS MATTER OF DOUBT Sammy Strang Loses Something He Never Had. Samuel Strang Niklick, owner of the Chattanooga baseball club, has lost something not particularly known to baseball fans throughout the country, but Sammy Strang former member of baseball fans throughout the country to the other. They are one and the same, for you, and you have been credited with your player being the premier pinch-hitter of baseball. It is alleged that he made 14 pinch hits in as many as 20 games, questioned, and an investigation was made. It resulted in determining that Sammy did not perform any such feat, and that he was not traced from Strang's fame as a pinch-hitter, however. The fact remains he could either hit it or out. But that the kind of a pinch-hitter he was. He undoubtedly made his full share of the team, and started the record evidently confused the two, figuring that a timely hit when Strang was playing regularly in the league. That is not accurate. A pinch-hitter is one who bats the ball as a player, a player is playing regularly he may make a hit in an emergency, but that fact does not make him a pinch-hitter. The old yarn that has lived for more than 15 years about Shrimp and the 14 man who played it well has a story of baseball fiction like so many story of individual performance in the game which will not stand alone. The scores are given a good raking over. Strang went to bat as a pitch-hitter 15 times and was possibly the story that he had made 14 pitch hits in succession grew out of that fact. In those 15 times at bat he had made 14 pitch hits but as often as he made one. The claim for the pitch-hitting man was some one else. The stranger had been considered to be the leader for so long that the title never had been allotted to him. The man who has the reputation of having made ten pitch hits in succession be included in the crown was INTERESTING SPORT NOTES Many golfers, no doubt, would be much happier if mere self-reseal didn't require them to lie about their sex. Ed (Strangler) Lewis, heavyweight wrestling champion of the world, is 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 250 pounds. With the increase in the popularity of tennis throughout the country there is some talk of a professional tennis league. The federal treasury expects to have a good year. The receipts from the taxation of boxing exhibitions are the largest in history. The efforts being made in Spain to supplant the toaster with the ball player will simply move the bull throwing to the ground. The national body governing professional tennis is in New York. Fifteen states are represented in the organization. P4i Ryan, world champion, hunts for the champion in playing for the Olympic team. Ryan can throw the hammer for an average of 175 feet. the executive committee of the United States Olympic games is composed of prominent olympians, numbered by the winners of the games. It is said that about nine of every ten olympians sit in a way or another, and almost all believe in some "sign." At the present tax of $10 on each billard table throughout the United States, the government receives more than $40,000,000 a year in revenue. Nearly all the larger government schools in China have American coaches for baseball, track and tennis. English coaches for soccer football. Some tennis cities object to Miss Welling an eye shade while playing. They point out that the best player in the past have not needed beard, but have appeared in competition.
