FINE SPORTSMANSHIP SHOWN.
Contrary to expectations from some sources, the first annual football game, played on Saturday, and Jack Yates, played at West End Park Christmas Day, was not only an annual event, but a sport, but it was likewise a fine demonstration of sportmanship. Despite the egregious and anxiety to only two teams, only two penalties were inflicted for "roughing" of any sort, and each team had six. No replacements were necessary for injuries, yet it was a stubborn game, until the final shot, as the 64 score would indicate, the game quite efficiently and whenever a decision was rendered, there was no penalty on the players, and at the contests

Higher Court Reverses Waco Judge's Decision In Sanford's Litigation
Insurgents, Who Sought $21,500 in Damages from Pythian Grand Lodge for Their Expulsion from Texas Order, Losers Again—Court of Civil Appeals at Waco Holds With Grand Chancellor Willis and His Official Cabinet—Decision Means Sanford, Thomas and Others are Still Expelled From the Texas Jurisdiction—Decision of McLennan County Court, Forcing Pythian Grand Lodge Officers to Reinstate "Insurgents," Declared Null and Void—Right of Order to Try and Expel Members Upheld and Confirmed.
Waco, Texas—The grand lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, of which Hon. W. S. Willis of Dallas is grand chancellor, won a sweeping and notable victory in a decision recently handed down here by the court of civil appeals of the Tenth Supreme Judicial District of Texas, with Chief Justice J. N. Gallagher handing down the opinion for this higher Texas legal tribunal.
The cause was styled as “Grand Lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Texas, et al., appellants, vs. J. W. Sanford, et al., appellees,” and was an appeal by the grand lodge from a decision rendered in favor of Sanford et al in a district court of McLennan County. In its decision the lower court issued a mandatory writ enjoining the grand lodge of Texas Pythians to reinstate Sanford and others, who had been suspended by the grand lodge officers because he and his “insurgent” fraters violated the rules and laws of the order by resorting to court procedure before exhausting every remedy for relief from the conditions of which they complained, through the prescribed channels of the order.
This case originated at the grand lodge held in Fort Worth, Texas June 2, 1924, when Sanford, C. H. Thomas and others sued an injunction in a district court of Tarrant County against W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas; J. E. Smith, grand lodge of records and seal, and his assistant, to restrain them from conducting an election otherwise than provided by the laws of the order, and charging the grand lodge officers with misappropriation and misapplication of grand lodge funds, and with irregularities in connection with the election of grand lodge officers in Dallas during the grand lodge of 1923.

Waco, Texas—The grand lodge Pythias of Texas, of which Honchancellor, won a sweeping and cently handed down here by the e Supreme Judicial District of Texas lager handing down the opinionunal.
The cause was styled as "Gray Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction J. W. Sanford, et al., appellees," lodge from a decision rendered district court of McLennan County issued a mandatory writ enjoin Pythias to reinstate Sanford and by the grand lodge officers became violated the rules and laws of the cedure before exhausting every of the reasons originated at the g Texas, June 2, 1924, when Sanford an injunction in a district at W. S. Willis, grand chancellor of Texas; J. E. Smith, grand keeper sistant, to restrain them from than provided by the laws of the lodge officers with misappropriate lodge funds, and with irregularity of grand lodge officers in Dallas.
This injunction was ignored by the grand lodge officers and the usual business of the session was transacted, by the lodge officers, by the suspension of the rules and laws and the grand master-at-arms casting the unanimous vote of the grand lodge for the re-election of the official family, excluding H. L. Price, of the lodge, dropped from the board of directors.
The next move of Sanford & Company was to institute contrapetition proceedings against the garrison, wilt, and the court, which issued the original injunction subsequently host that language of the same, as set out in the contract, and that no contrapetition was issued if the grand lodge officers) was insufficient and that no contrapetition was committed by the defendants in ignoring such injunction. (Sanford and others) later during the 1924 grand lodge at a time termination opposing players grapped each other's hand in a spirit of true sportmanship. All that type of a credit is a requirement of this system, for it requires much self-control—restrain one's self in the heat of such a gridiron. The root sections of the two contracts were manifested by their warriors as spirit as manifested by their warriors on the field of battle, and the game of red-letter events in life of Colored High and Jack Yates, not so much manifested, but because of the wonderfully fine spirit of sportmanship demonstrated by coaches of the two schools also be serve some commendation for such a

A JACK wired bridge lamps for the saloon below the mind was on other more personal matters than writing lamps for wholesale houses. Sadly she had no other department for these same lamps, had refused to dance the New Year in with him. In fact this was the reason Jack had refused to go to a dance with him. This time she had given no reason to refuse to go to a dance with him. This time she more puzzled than it she had done it unaccomplished. Sadly with her dark eyes, and gold on curts that no body could make lie down in any sort of restraint, Jack looked anything but the industrious little worker had proved to be

THE CHRISTIAN A FOLLOWER OF

Him.
PILARMY TOPIC - Learning
JUNIOR TOPIC - Enlisting with
INTERMEDIATE AND NENIOR TOPIC- What It Means to Follow Jesus
Jesus as Teacher of Disciple- IO- Receiving Jesus as Saviour and
Jesus. I. Jesus Fail Four Men to Follow Him.
1. Who they were (v. 10, 19).
Simon and Andrew, John and James, two of the disciples. It is usually engaged in the lodge of the Lord's service in fellowship—in pairs. This is not only necessary for effective testimony, but also for the health of the workers and protection of the witnesses.
2. What from what they were (v. 10, 20).
They were called from a finite service. God always choose Him from the ranks of the employed.
3. To what they were called (v. 17, 18).
No man doubt had been successful as fathers. The qualities which made them good fishermen, namely, parachute and night and perseverance which led them to toil all night, though no fish were caught, would make them good fishermen. Becoming Christ great patience, bravery and perseverance. Becoming business in the world. It is the hardest work in the world to do.
4. The cost of obedience to Christ's
Obedience to Christ's call meant sacrifice, painful separation, to give thanks for the gift of life and their father behind. Regardless of the cost they yielded prompt obedience. They put their trust in Him. He was able to supply all their needs. 5. Their reward (v. 17). 6. Four men were wielded wickedness in the world. Their names have become immortalized. Had they remained at their business and only have been humble sabercraft. 11. Matthew Becomes a Follower of Jesus (Mk. 21:18-17). 12. He deplied tax gatherer under the Roman government. For a Jew to fill such a position was to be deprived of taxed taxes paid to the Roman government as unlawful extortion, a member of their race engaging in the business of the church to be exposed to shame and contempt. 13. Observe the abruptness of this white sitting at his place of business he called the call of Jesus. 14. The defensiveness of the call (v. 17). 14. to be follow Jesus. To follow Jesus means to learn of Him and to engage in service for Him. 14.
Matthew did not stop to reason on the question, but rendered definite and instant obedience. He openly asked himself with the Lord. Happy is the man who has the good judgment to inherit, even though it even may be costly. Matthew made a treat and invited many of his publicans friends to meet his wife. He asked her to be a twofold objective: (1) An expression of gratitude appraisal to the Lord for his saving grace. (2) To bring his former friends and associates into touch with his newly married wife, who have found the Lord to desire to bring their friends into touch with him. (3) Walking as Jesus Walked. The Supreme Test of Abiding in Him. Abiding in Christ means to have experienced the life of God in Christ, come into contact with Christ, and acutely living in fellowship with Him. Christ's identity with the Father and his preeminent and grand example. Anyone who precedes to abide in Christ, who is not walking as He walked, is not Christ's walk of walking the walk of the Christian implies the whole of his life. The reality of our profession is determined by the con

Wesley, who, it is said, preached

"Wesley, why do you do so often
because you are not born again?"

NEW YORK DAY
Christopher G. Hazard
JT WAS with smiling resolution, but also with invivicible vanity, that Mr. Thomas Sprague gave the smiling man the warmest welcome. He had determined to be socially active and pleasant, but he had failed to respond with affection. That everybody would be glad to see him he had forgotten that his previous faithfulness to him had been reliction with himself. In need of a reason with himself, he asked some kind friend could have advised and convinced him about his faculty and his ability for saying the things he did not mean to say, he might have been aware of the fact that he was iron-willed, his powers in these directions were unimpaired. He was still unaware of the fact that he was iron-willed.
"It Won't Be Long Now."
nately he forget the name of this lady, so he escaped from his dilemma and fell into a new difficulty by saying, "Professor Fox, let me make you acclimate with—with Miss—with one of our old stamdbys!"
After this, Spriggs, all unabated, presented himself at the Gladbys in time to say to Judge Ipricha, where approaching the age limit set upon his office, "It won't be long now, judge, before you will have to go away back quail and eat."
Perhaps the most interesting adventure of this colorful day occurred at the church, where she increasingly circles, until she finally took his leave with a *crowning bonnet* as Mrs. Robinson kept her upward. She was the account of a rather severe indisposition, her daughter, Miss Allura, had done the honors, and to her he made a point of telling her that her mother, Miss Robinson, he said, "and tell her that I hope that she will talk with his inadvertant that Talking with his inadvertant that there are many queer people in the church, and that she would undoubtedly continue to be the case after they both had left it, the good lady overloaded the implication."
Nothing interfered with the slumbers of Mr. Springs. No ghostly contempt of Mr. Springs, who day seemed to stand accustomly by his bed. He swoke the next morning to put on the magnifying glasses of his bed, and he fared far on early January 1, 1927, to commit new deprivations upon the concession he had given him. He will wish him a happy New Year just the same. They know that he means well with it all and they take his主意 with it all. He will be with it in a management with which we all desire to enter upon new and promising eras. He will be with it, although that would deprive us of amusement, it will do him good. If we could see ourselves as others we would be able to see if we are queer it avoids monotony and gives us of that variety which has been the source of our day. <sup>1</sup> 1824, Warner Newbury Union.

The NewYear's Eve Wedding BY MARION R. REAGAN
YEAR'S EVE was set as the date for the wedding of Bob Wallins and Charlotte Wallins, and so did they, that it would mean excellent luck to begin the New Year as they did, the time drew nearer, Bob, at least, began to have fears and forebodings, not so much about the day as about the event.
EW YEAR'S EVE was set the date for the wedding of her husband, John Main. Their friends thought, and so did they, that it would be better to begin the New Year as man and wife. But as the time drew near, Bob, at the age of 18, and forebodings, not so much about the day as riage was a serious thing. And after reflecting a long time on the subject—perhaps too long, he wasn't sure what it was. After all it would have made things easier if Bob's mother had agreed with him, but she hadn't. Charlotte was not sure for any young man to marry. She was thrifty, and sensible. Send her a message. For any good pal and thought. He would have liked her to be just a little bit silly. Girls were supposed to be a little silly. That's what she was. She would have come to rely on her judgment and it would have been annoying to have to give her good pal and that, and he liked her; of course he all that her. But was that love? Was that romance? Oath? What would she be about to marry; couldn't sleep at night for thinking of them, or were they about to marry; couldn't describe as "love." Well, Bob never

felt that way about Charlotte. His appetite was as good as ever and he loved her. For instance, then he met Helen McKay at a house party, and his digestion at once began to suffer. It somehow took him a long time to sleep at night and during the day his mind was in a fog. He couldn't concentrate on business at all. Helen McKay with her trim figure and elegant hair, her curved lips and ronged cheeks, her artful, vampish ways, came tripping info his thoughts constantly. There was a lull in the thought.
He wouldn't have hurt Charlotte's feelings for the world, but he was not going to let her go. He could go out with a few friends without Charlotte's finding out? He did; but Charlotte found out. He was not going to let her go. She packed the diamond engagement
But you've lived your life, and you've lived it well. And now, you must say to your life farewell.
You have brought to us both honor and shame,
But we hold for you neither praise nor blame,
You have brought us joy, you have brought us woe,
But all the years do the same as they go,
As the years before you have done, so you
Did only the thing it was yours to do
When you came to us another year went,
Another will come when your time is spent,
The New Year we hail with a smile, but sigh
For the year that is gone, Old Year good-bye.
ring into its little box, and was about to mail it back to him when her old wife asked her to bring the ring would have to admit defeat. The only wise thing to do was to laugh and best bob at his own face. She appeared in a movie and wang another man. A likely "prospect" appeared in the movie, and just come to Quincy from New York, and with his worldly manner and handsome face was enough to arouse the jealousies of her husband. She started out on her campaign. She had been wearing old dowdy dresses, and in addition she seau, but now she took out the new clothes, and in addition bought herself a lipstick and immuniserable jars of lipstick. Quincy practiced "mirror, practice." Evidently she became quite skillful, for Samuel Peck had stared at her. He threatened to harden and soon Sam and Charlotte appeared at parties together. Bob stared and raged. He threatened to kill her. He found how apparently ready Charlotte was to have the engagement ring, and so simply couldn't get over Charlotte act that way. He became so worried about Charlotte that he forgot to give Charlotte he went over to Charlotte to call. She was tantalized gay, as she was always lately.
"People are beginning to talk," he said brigely. "About what, or whom?" "About you." "About me?" How interesting! I know that know, and what do they want me to compliment things, I hope? Bob got up and walked back and front of the brighter side of the street, who begins to play around with another fellow condescending, and to use that vultuosity to assemble a model young woman to the Women's Bible class, I suppose? With the Women's Bible class, and what right have you to criticize?"
"We're engaged to me!"
"Yes, but that can be broken. You were started with me, too, me, started going with that Helen McKay."
"Who?"
"Chris McKay, don't be ridiculous. I didn't mean that seriously at all. I even forgotten for a minute who in the world she was."
"She was rather quickly, it seems to me."
"Look here, Charlotte, I tired of this. You've got to make up your own life, you have to be old self and marry me the New Year's Eve as you promised, or not, you have to be always-knight-unless you take of that terrible-looking make-up."
The conversation took place in a room where Bob left, averaging he was "of women for life."
Eve Wedding was called off. Bob Wallins became one of the worst grocers in town. He was never except at his office or home, while Charlotte came to look
Then cause the reconciliation, and as the two sat one evening sending a letter to the dinner that was to culminate in their marriage, Bob said, "George, Charlotte. I'm glad we got all our quarrelling down." And we were because We certainly are never going to have even the least argument again. "114 Western News Online."

The Artist's New Year By FLORENC HARRIS WELLS

And he himself with the thought that he might get inspired to trip such as this, he sarcastically re-mimicked himself and ice without — a chill gray background; while it was infinitely worse — immigrants with the idea that they didn't like immigrants. He didn't like their numerous children. He had just come to this unusual concoction as a rule all childhood appealed to him—when a grumpy little girl crept into the seat beside him and with shining eyes upturned to his face. "Is it not bean-u-ful, mister?" The artist looked where the grimy little finger pointed—and got his in-

As president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it has been the policy of my administration to credit for any good deeds we have been guilty of doing to anybody who wanted to claim it. We have been more interested in getting things right than in being called upon now to vary from our own practices. The interim Commission claiming it for the outcome of the Luther Colored Association has caused a controversy between two organizations and I have been called upon by both bodies for an ex-

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS. —ROOSEVELT.
HOUSTON, TEXAS. SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1927
Some of the good brethren have taken in too much territory in conference with the white members of the Intertribal Commission. Not thinking they gave the old imagination too much tuck. Therefore, when the commission gave the commission a branch of this commission to tell about a place of their work that was not in the case of the 'laws' case. When the home office of the N. A. N. A. C. P. sent me a copy of the facts, I compared it with the reports we had been making to them from time to time. I was told that the Collins' matter, compared with harmony with the information that had been peddled to the white members of the commission, and naturally, they have been led to believe that we are making an
DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF GREGORY'S CAMPUS!
Along with its building and expansion program, as it relates to colored public schools (for which the Houston board of education is to be commended), the public school officials should see to it that the contractors do not render the campuses of the schools, where construction is under way, totally unfit for the children to get to and from the temporary buildings now being employed for class-room work.
The Informer wishes to cite the attention of the local board of education to the deplorable condition obtaining on the campus of Gregory school, located at Wilson, Cleveland and Victor streets; Fourth Ward, where dirt from the excavation for the new brick structure now being erected is piled several feet high all over the school grounds.
Not only are the hundreds of little colored children forced to wear over this dirt and mud every day, but they must also spend their moments of recess and recreation on this same dirt and mud, or else leave the school campus to play and recreate, with its resultant dangers.
Such living conditions tend to undermine the health of grown-ups, to say nothing of children of the ages that attend this colored elementary school in the Fourth Ward; and particularly due to the presence of toxic chemicals in the classroom.
Some of my best friends are members of the best side of the interim Commission, and that they get the record straight. For their benefit, and for the benefit of those who stood in the front line trenches against the enemy, I am against the deadly enemy of public sentiment, retraining at times of persecution and the apparent persecution and the apparent dispatches at times of persecution and certain crimes to obtain the slightest ambiance of justice in the courts, and to face of overwhelming odds to vicious face of overwhelming odds to viciousness in the interim Commission in general and the Collin'a case in particular.
The Informer, laboring under the impression that neither the school board nor business manager has been apprised of this deplorable condition obtaining at Gregory school, suggests that this condition should be addressed. While the yard at Gregory was in dire need of filling, there is no earthly reason nor excuse for converting the campus into a dump yard. The excess dirt and mud should be removed from the yard and the teachers should fit for the teachers and children to at least walk on during school hours.
The Informer is not conversant with conditions obtaining at other colored public schools where construction of new buildings is under way, but if such a deplorable condition exists at any other public school, the board or business manager should look after it from this unsavory and unhealthy condition and teachers some relief from this unsavory and unhealthy condition.
Colored Passenger---
HOUSTON BUSINESS MEN SHOULD WAKE UP!
According to a news item appearing in the daily newspapers during the week, the National Negro Business League, of which Dr. Robert Ruston Moton of Tuskegee Institute is president, will host an eighth annual session at Dallas, Texas, during August of 1927.
(Continued From Page One)
the Jim Crow law of the state of Florida.
Mr. Brooks declined to do being a passenger in incarcerate commerce not subject to the provisions of the Florida law. The following day, Mr. Brooks was "volentily, forbly, and rudely elected" from the Pulman car company and way and Pulman employee by Florida law officers summoned for the purported assault, coach, and upon declining to do was taken and imprisoned in the Palm Beach jail, being compelled to spend the night in the Palm Beach jail, Mr. Brooks was $450 of the Florida statutes; known as the Jim Crow law, of riding in a car with a passenger in incarcerate commerce for colored people and was fined $500 and costa amounting to $100.
This organization, founded by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington in Boston, Mass., is composed of the leading business and professional members of the race, and the selection of Dallas, by the board of directors of the league, as the next meeting place of the national body was made over several other strong contenders. As far as The Informer can recall, the league has never convened in Texas before, and, while Dallas will be host to the 1927 session in a specific manner, all Texas will be host in a general way. The commig of the national organization to Texas ought to revive interest in local leagues, chambers of commerce and commercial clubs in the various cities of this state, and Texas should be encouraged to participate in business and professional men and women to the Dallas gathering.
Much of the credit for landing the 1927 session of this organization is due the Dallas colored and white Chambers of Commerce, city officials, business men, and the Dallas Express, edited by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, a vigorous campaign to bring this body to Texas next year.
Damages of $25,000 are asked for on the grounds that the defendants carried, with Mrs. Brooklyn, thereby subjecting her to insult, mortification and harassment to her insult, mortification and general health; that their agents acted 'carelessly, negligently, and unkindly' in having her ejected and unkindly in having her ejected and had purchased as an interstate passenger; and that they caused her to be uninvolved in inconvenience, expense and injury.
With the largest colored population of any Texas city, and more members of the race in business and the professions, the Negroes of Houston should get busy at once, revive their inert organization, place men at the head who will function and thus bring into existence a movement so badly needed in this city. With all our boasted numbers, material holdings and business concerns, we have no organization body for a good of all, who one seeming to be content content along individualistic lines.
BISHOP TEACHERS WED HERE.
This is the day of organized effort and combinations, and unless the Houston business and professional men of color realize this patent fact, subordinate their little selfish and petty feelings to the business and professional men of color, we are hope for very little along business and commercial lines.

By O. P. DEWALT
President of the Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Being an active member of the local Interracial Commission, has placed in a position to fully appreciate the work undertaken by this body and the humanitarian spirit that is behind it. The Commission has also served to notice the change in interracial relations in the city—a bitter battle that has been ongoing, times, to the attention of those who are in a position to remedy them. DeWALT has been a leader in the recently been erased, the powers that be are demonstrating their apathy and recognizing some of the inalienable rights of the city's most unfortunate minority groups. That through the Interracial Commission and other co-operative agencies of the Christianity, the white people of this country will be more fully aroused to participate in leadership and that the Negro will be more fully aroused to his responsibility.
Seeding, as I do, the great work that is ahead of us, and having initiated the formalized successfully through this Commission. It is in inconceivable that we say nothing about their good intentions, even to say nothing about their good deeds, that members of the colored part of the local Intercultural Commission should permit representations that are members of this commission and the general public. The president of the local branch of the N. A. N. A. C. P. at the time Collins got in trouble and have served as the chairman of the Luther Collins' case was officially placed in the hands of the National Colored People at a citizen's meeting held at St. James M. E. Church, united Colored People at a citizen's meeting Alliance, on or about the 15th day of March, 1921. The colored chairman participated in this meeting, and as a member of the N. A. N. A. C. P., was made secretary of the special committee. We were forced to replace him because he could, not find time to attend.
LOCAL MUSIC ASSOCIATION RAPS WHITE DAILY PAPER
FOR INSULTING ARTICLE
At a meeting of the Houston Music Association, of which Dr. P. D. Wheeler was chairman, on December 19, 1988, the following resolutions were unanimously passed by the body:
1. A certain daily news article of this city carried a report of a visit of members of the city school board to our schools (Jack Yate High); and
2. Whereas, on this occasion the class in the music department was constituted of the work in singing Negro spirituals; and
3. Whereas, this demonstration was made the subject of much decision on the part of the Houston pupils were referred to as "ingers";
4. Whereas, certain altered statements were carried in this article relative to dvorinetry at the phrase "ingers"; and
5. The pupils were referred to as "ingers";
At the meeting, we in the Houston Music Association, in session assembled, do vigorously protest at the phrase "ingers" (the Houston Prentice); it be further resolved that we hear our opinions in its editor, C. P. Richardson, for the stand taken in the matter, and that we should stalwart stand in all matters pertaining to the race.
And that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and that a copy be sent to the president.

assisted by W. L. Davis and others, directed every phase of this case from the date of this meeting until its chapter soliciting and securing the necessary legal and racial Commission, the Ministers' Alliance, labor organizations, social organizations, and more.
It is unfortunate, indeed, that the two who are responsible for conveying the message to the members of the Interracial Commission and to the uninformed public, have to calculate the effect of creating friction between two organizations that are not connected to people. There is sunshine enough for all of us! There is a world of work that is being done by the institution undying credit upon any organization that will do it. We are doing instead of undoing—so that when we get the final call from the edge of the building, we will not have to borrow from the other felon.
