OKLAHOMA THE LAND OF PROMISE FOR THE NEGRO After all has been said and done Oklahoma is the one logical spot for the progressive and energetic Negro. It is a new country replete with possibilities for a new state. Oklahoma has talked of "Jim Crowism" has proven a blessing, insomuch as it has tended to concentrate the Negro trade to the numerous Negro shop keepers. There are many Negro schools so situated in Oklahoma than any other state or territory on the American continent. Muskogee, Oklahoma City and Guthrie are the principal cities with Muskogee the more substantial city to my mind's heart city and Guthrie following next in order. Much wealth has come to the Negroes through shrewd realty transfers. Thirty to fifty thousand dollars rating is a common thing among them. In the city of Montgomery, the city has a half million dollars invested in retail trade stores. It is impossible for the stranger to determine pro mthe appearance of the stock, accessories or other items that are available in most place any where on Second street. This is one of the principal thoroughfares in the city. All the business houses are owned and operated by Negroes and Jews in Montgomery. We demand that lead. On this street is found the Brown building, the famous "White Front" (erected by the People's bank), the Twine building and many others which are landmarks in the city's architecture. For merely of Montgomery Ala., conducts a dry goods store with an annual trade of more than $75,000. A few doors from this store is located the famous Elliott building, an annual business of $50,000; further dum a is the Palace Clothing Company with a business of $20,000 a year. The banking and other financial institutions conducted by Negroes are all solid members of the same number of banking and commercial activities of the city, having both white and colored as their clientele. Their are eleven physicians in the city, and about the same number of hospitalists up date with the city, who apparently keep quite busy all the time. The field of the Negro lawyer in Oklahoma is quite inviting indeed, owing to the heavy investment there, and the fact that the lawyers throughout the commonwealth. The city of Muskogee is going northward and there are many brilliant investments open to the negro in high grade reality holdings in the city. The negro groes are known to have disposed of lots that cost them $200 and upwards for ten times their cost price within five years after their investment. The negro investors in Oklahoma real estate are now the leading business men of the state. Whole plants of splendid land are now on the market and is being sold to the negro over the United States; especially is this true of the Negroes of the South Central and South Eastern States. Muskogee is a city of some 32,000 inhabitants, with a population of about 40,000. The ratio is supposed to be three to one. There seems to prevail a happy oneness of purpose and amity among the colored people of Oklahoma, with the business ambitions from every angle. They have in perfect organization their various Commercial clubs. These clubs are doing a great deal in attracting Negro capital to the state. There is at present a terrific fight to remove the capital from Gurhite to Oklahoma City. City, Kansas City and other contiguous cities lined up against the secretly up against the removal in sheer fear of the growth of Oklahoma City, which is making enormous strides to control the wholesale trade of the Stata that surmounted the challenge has heretofore been controlled by outside cities. Oklahoma City has a population of 62,000, with 10,000 colored inhabitants. The capital thrift of these blacks is about parallel with those of Muskogee. The colored farmers of Oklahoma are the real kings of the soil. Their brawn, their progressiveness, their self-sufficiency, and their made for them a place in Oklahoma history much desired and indispensable. OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Rev. B. B. J. F. Wesbrook performed the marriage ceremony of Mr. John H. Jenkins and Miss Della Luster at 928 East Second street at 8:30 o'clock.

Only a very few surprises resulted from the primary election last Tuesday. We need Rostand's Chantecler, simply rooster, to open up our spring in the right manner. The Supreme Court of Louisiana has heaped trouble on the state in attempting to classify the Negroes. Commencement days are on; both sad and sweet. Visions of real life with its doubts greatly modify the gayety of the occasion. The preliminary to the main event, the election in November, the future movements of candidates and parties will be more interesting. The great prize of United States Senator from the State of nidiana will now be fought for with all the skill and ingenuity that can be commanded. The "Comic" is gone, or is going; a more unwelcomed visitor ne'er attracted moreetal gaze; it was distinctly in the undesirable class as a most distinguished Ameriacn might say. The committee having in charge the preliminaries leading up to the semi-centennial in 1913 will have to manage to get along with $5,000, the amount recommended for incidental expenses. The commission must serve without pay. The ideas set forth by Mr. Washington, while peculiarly in interest of the race, have proven of good to the whole educatational world; it is this fact that has accentuated his usefulness, making him a world force in educational matters, rather than the narrow provincialist that some think of him at times. Mnister Lyons, to Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, announces to the State Department at Washington that the chiefs of the turbulent tribes about that country have taken the oath of allegiance, and that those of the interior will do so in the near future, thus assuring the country against further trouble from that direction. Indiana avenue is to be included in the new scheme of lighting for the business portions of the city, and why not? Isn't it the greatest avenue that ever happened? It can stand a little more light than most places, notwithstanding the soft and dreamy were thought a bit too classy for the well-known thoroughfare. But there are good people on the avenue, good business people, who are in for all the good things that come along. The bright and shining are going up right along, and the sometimes dark and devious will ere long be as resplendent as Washington street. A monument costing $1,000,000 has been proposed by Texas in honor of the faithful "Old Negro mummy." As a thing of respect and appreciation nothing could be better. We, however, imagine that a system of pension would be very welcome and fitting, too, in view of their past services. Five or six dollars per month would care for the real wants of tshese aged persons—women or men—which with what they could do would prevent much of the known anguish and misery. The pension idea is not a bad one, and the time is now when those remaining are of extreme old age and in want. A few only remain to burden those that would assume the task, nor could they engage in a holier cause, as it concerns purely earthly airs. NOMINTED FOR THE LEGISLATURE William R. Green, attorney, of Cleveland, O., son of John P. Green, was nominated this week for the legislature by the Republicans. Mr. Green has practiced law for fifteen years; he is president of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, and captain of Company D, Infantry, Ohio National Guard. His nomination is considered a victory for the progressive young Republicans of Cleveland, who are headed by Councilmen Thomas W. Fleming, Nakum D. Brascher, Alex H. Martin, Samuel E. Woods and others. MOSIAC TEMPLARS OF AMERICA. The National Order of Mosaic Templars of America is one of the strongest organizations of the kind in the country; it is fraternal, but lays stress on the insurance features, guaranteeing at death $300 for the sum of $3 per year, or 75 cents per quarter. The question will be asked, "How can it be done?" The answer is that the organization is doing it, and has been doing it since 18$2, the date of its founding, and since which time it has paid something like a million dollars to claimants. The recent investigation of the great insurance companies of the country disclosed the fact that with shrewd investments and good management that they were not only able to promptly meet the claims against them but were able to vote the officers, fabulous salaries aside. The Mosaic Templars have long since discovered the secret and consequently it is prepared to meet the claims as presented from time to time. It has no high-salaried men, but careful, conservative individuals as managers, who are interested in giving the people a maximum benefit for a minimum sum of money: $300 for $3. The organization takes pride in announcing the fact that it is of distinctive Negro origin—it emanated from the brains of Negroes, from password to grip. And since it remains unshaken by financial storms, recommends itself to colored people everywhere. To use the language of the organization: "It not only admonishes the Negro to prepare to die, but is emphatic in teaching him how to live and improve his condition in this life by self-help, thrift, industry and living up to the true principles of honesty." Full particulars of the organization may be had by writing the home of office at Little Rock, Ark. THE CASE OF BISHOP GAINES. The Philadelphia Tribune, the Courant, the Afro-American Ledger, all bearing the same date, April 23, announced simultaneously the surprising news of the arrest of Bishop Wesley J. Gaines of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who was arrested on a warrant issued by Secretary Morgan of the New Jersey Conference of that church connection charged with embezzlement — the misappropriation by the bishop of the Superannuated Ministers' moneys. The bishop is held in $1,000 bond for further hearing in the case. This is lamentable. The New York Age in its April 21st issue is also after the bishop for meddling in the New York affairs. It seems that the good bishop took upon himself to go to Albany and before a committee of the New York Legislature having in hand the Brackett-Gray bill registered his dissent to the prohibition cause, basing his opposition to prohibition on the fact, as he represented it, that "wherever prohibition is accepted it is generally followed by the widespread use of drugs, and even more intemperate use of liquor." Strange position for a bishop and leader of a great church connection to take, but Puck says: "What fools these mortals be." In the same issue of the Age and on the same page as the denunciatory editorial of the bishop is a caustic letter of an indignant minister of Brooklyn, N. Y., calling for the impeachment forthwith of the grafting churchmen of the African Methodist Episcopal church. All The Freeman has to say in passing is that it thinks the wise men of the church had better, for the good of all concerned, get together and lift this scandal, which if not "nipped in the bud" might be very costly to the church. Since writing the above and just as we were going to press we find the below in the Associated Press dispatches, towit: **Asks Bishop to Forgive Him.** CAMDEN, N. J. April 25.—Immediately after Saturday's session of the New Jersey Conference of the New Jersey Methodist Episcopal church began the Rev. J. H. Morgan of Bordentown arose and announced that he had withdrawn his charge of embezzlement against Bishop Wesley J. Gaines of Atlanta. He added that he was exceedingly sorry for what he had done and asked the bishop to forgive him. The bishop declared his willingness to forgive, and the incident was closed after a general handshake all around. The embezzlement charge which resulted in a warrant being issued for the bishop on Thursday caused a sensation in the A. M. E. church circles. RUSHVLLE, IND. Special to THE FREEMAN. Susan M.

"RUBE" FOSTER'S DAY. And the Leland Giants Win—Stars of Cuba the Victim. By Cary B. Lewis. Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill. May 23—It was "Rube" Foster's day at Normal Park on last Sunday, when he defeated the Stars of Cuba by a score of 7 to 1. He was given magnificent support by the White team, and it was clockwork on the part of the Giants. An enormous crowd was present, due to the fact that at this park was the star attraction of the day. It was a hard task to get the crowd to attend, as there was such a great rush for seats. Mendez, the champion pitcher, played at third and Chacon at shortstop, and these two were the best of the game. A fumble and three throws of an insane character told the tale. Those things gave the Giants the best of the game and the contest ended with a score of 7 to 1 in favor of Chacon. But undoubtedly the largest crowd that had been seen at the park for some time, as fans were lined up along each side of the fence, and this magnificent gathering went on until one over the fence, making a home run. Foster was in the best of spirits. He pitched with old time vigor and strength, striking out four men. Perenn of the Stars Most of the Cubans are young, there being four men to our knowledge that were members of the Cuban Stars last season. Alders of fighter, made a sensational steal in the fifth inning, but did not be them, for the only time they scored was in the first inning. In the fourth inning the Giants crossed the home plate five times, and after that the heavens became cloudy, and the fans for the most part remained fully fifteen minutes and Umpire McWaters called the game to play ball and the other two innings were fast and snappy, but neither side scored.

Baseball Gossip. The Giants will play the Normals Sunday. Petway, Booker and Strauthers are catchers that can't be duplicated. Banker Binga, Riley, Vance, Anderson were at the game in a Red Devil auto. "Rube" says, read the offer in the Freeman. He says he has $500 for all clubs that think they can win. "Jap" Payne, the Giants' clever feeder, uses his head. He has broken up many a game in favor of his team. In Foster, Wickware and Daugherty the Leland Giants have three of the greatest pitching staff in the country. Booker on first base is playing the game of his life. He is certainly some sacker for anything that comes his way. "Rube" says that he would not give his team for any in the country. He is certainly proud of his boys, and he don't fail to show it. Humy Callahan says that Petway has one of the greatest arms of any backstop in the business when Pet is catching they all hug the sacks. Pryor and Hutchinson are playing in big league form. Mighty good for the first season. Later on more will be expected of these two coming stars. * Duncan in the outfield can whip the ball in with great speed. Duncan is a great field. He is like by the fans. No push pin ball with Duncan. * The big leaguers who went to Cuba say that Lloyd could play on any team and make good. This is good news to Lloyd. Give praise where it is due. * "Home Run" Johnson is showing that he is a high-class ball player. Old Father Time has no effect on him. He not only looks well, but plays the game well. * It comes to beating out buns and using his head, Captain Hill is in the class with "Ty" Cobb, says M. Haynes, who knows the game of baseball from A to Z. * "Rube" Foster enjoys the reputation of being a gentlemanly ball player. He has friends, and they never tire of speaking kindly of the great pitcher and captain. * Talk has already begun about the series between the two teams. If the fans want to form team play, my what a stream of toilets will see them play. When we the managers let the chance slip? We will wait and see. A ball player may have the finest style, but unless he is in form he is no good to a team. Good condition of the player is what the fans want, and this is what the colored teams are giving thus far. We hope they will keep it up. When it comes to business Manager Moseley, Morgan is right up to sniff in all things including the club. He was very proud of the large attendance on last Sunday. There was not a vacant seat to be found, even the "Stand- Room Only" sign was almost necessary. Everybody is reading The Freeman. The correspondent will give all the news of the teams without partiality. It will be necessary for him to gather news from various sources and he will accept items from any of the teams. We will play no favorites. The public here and all over the country wants the news. Phil E. (Dady) Reid, the owner of the St. Paul Gophers, was at the game Sunday and was an interested spectator. He was tendered a reserved seat. Four of his men were there, the Island Gians. They are: Marshall, Taylor, Taylor, "Steel Arm" John Taylor. Mr. Reid congratulated Mr. Foster on the very large cowl and the appearance of his park. The Lelands had pay-day the past week and all the boys had money. That's what makes them play ball. It makes the old correspondent write; in fact, it makes us all do our best. Get busy everybody, for thousands of dollars will be spent seeing the players. We deserve to "get theirs."

Motts put on the coupon system again, and this will continue perhaps for all time. "Come early and get a reserve seat and see the whole show," will be the motto of the Pekin. The Four Colleens, a female quartet, was the big attraction of the evening. It was good act. These four women have trained voices and they blend beautifully. They all sang well and the baritone in particular was "great." The melody in "The Last Rose of Summer" was the whole number proved a bit of the evening. Madam Denyse, a colored character sketter hartist, who belongs on big time, entertained the audience nicely. Of course she was a colorful and lively audience, but many of those present did not fail to show their appreciation of her work by giving vent to their feelings in the way she did. "I am Going Back to Old Kentucky," was a scream. Possibly this was in some measure due to the large number of Kentuckians present. One actress styled her as "America's Victoria in color." The Four Dixions, two male and two female rube actors, were very enjoyable. High wire walking, dancing and pantomimeQUANTITY and the movie "The baseball comedy, though not new, was a pleasant feature of their work. Their work was quick and fast. The comedy act, was amusing and the Mortimer Sisters did some clever dancing and singing. In dash and agility these two terpsilochore artists met a hearty applause. Two colored amateurs on the bill, and two new moving pictures were on the evening's bill. Next week comes the More Man than Monkey, Consul Monk. Two more men will be seen the entire week. Don't fail to see the $1,000 act. Seats now on sale at the City. Murphy and Frances are in the city. Joe and Sadie Britton are at the American Music Hall this week. Scott and Whaley will play their first turn in London this week at the Tivoli and Oxford. Davis and Walker have gone to Danville, Ill., and will continue to work on the West-ern vaudeville circuit. A number of box parties have been planned for the Pekin on Decoration Day. Seats now on sale to see Consul Monk. The Mitchell Sistars were at the Monogram last week. They have a very clever act and will be engaged on other time soon. Henderson and Thomas are at the American Music Hall, Boston, Miss. They will return at an early date to appear at the Pekin. Perrin and Crosby, Chicago's favorite actors, will soon put on "Wash Day in Musicville" at one of the local theaters. Later they will fill bookings in the East. It pays to advertise and keep before the public. A record of your acts should be reported each week. It is a great advantage to yourself as well as booking agencies. Some time in June the Choral Study will sing "Rose Malden" at the Institutional Church. The club is rehearsing regularly, and it is expected to be largely attended. Pankey and Cook are at the Columbia this week. They are headliners and are "making good." Mrs. Pankey has entirely recovered from her illness and is now looking splendid. W. H. Smith writes from the South that he is very successful with the Jack Johnson pictures. He will be in Chicago at an early date. Mr. Smith is also manager of the Pekin Trio. Messrs. R. T. Motts and "Ed" Green have been informed that they are now non-resident members. They may attend the annual affair that is expected to be held in the near future. Tom Brown will be in the city Saturday. He has had a four weeks' stay at Excelsior Springs. Mo. He writes for the New York Times, with the work he is now ready to enter the profession with vim. Mr. Brown THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and a single. Moore delivered a most timely wallop in the eighth with bases full and two men out. Petus, the star first baseman, broke his finger in the game Saturday with the Roselandis. He will be ready and willing to play within a week. Walter Ball pitched a good game of ball, but he seemed discouraged toward the last. Loose fielding was partly the cause of the Giants not shutting out the Spaldings. Harry Moore, Wallace, Talbot. Winston and Green played a fine game. The public had their eyes upon these boys, for they were sure in the game every minute. Moore did some great hitting. Three hits, two of which were two-baggers. Moore is doing some fine work, and the people are slitting up and taking notice of the young gentleman. The great sensation of the Sunday morning game was little Wallace catching "Steel A Arena" in a game between the Senecas and the Giants. The Giants won by a score of 5 to 2. Over 3,000 fans passed through the gates on last Sunday, and it was a surprise to Major Jackson and Mr. Frank Leland owing to the fact that the star attraction was with the Leland Giants. * "Cyclone Joe" Williams will pitch next Sunday against the Philadelphia Giants, and the long stretch of his game. This is his first year with the Chicago Giants and he is going after a big reputation. * "Chappie" Johnson is our friend, but he did not play up to form on last Sunday. "Chappie" knows the game and is a fine fellow. It must have been an off day with him. Let us be merciful and give him the benefit of the doubt. The Spaldings have always been a hard nut for the Giants to crack. It will be re-examined at Auburn Park in 105, when Leland Giants made the great record of 43 straights, the Spaldings were the ones that broke it by defeating the Giants—7 to 1. The Giants and the Spaldings are tied. There is nothing to fear. It won't be long before the Giants will be heading the column. Just watch the Giants on this Sunday. If you want to catch the rush, get your reserve tickets at Major Jackson's, 2551 State street. It was a beautiful sight on last Sunday. It looked like a flower garden. Some of the most charming ladies of Chicago were wearing formal dresses, a height of fashion, chandelier hats and spring suits were seen not only by those that sat in the boxes, but many in the grand stand. The ladies are given the greatest attention by the ushers. We have been informed that some of the players have been keeping late hours previous to the day of playing ball. Lushing and sport don't go together in baseball. Heavy head and inactivity don't win games. Let the gentlemen be at their best and give the public the best that's in them. Don't play baseball not inactivity, being roguest of baseball requirements. A hint, boys. On next Sunday at Auburn Park the Philadelphia Giants, the eastern colored champions, will play Frank Leland's Chicago Giants. Major R. R. Jackson says that "It will be the best game in the city on that day." He says that "Get busy and be on hand," said one of the rooters of the Giants. On June 5 the Nebraska Indians will play, and they will be followed June 12 by the Cubaners. PROF. R. ROY POPE'S ANNEX BAND WITH RINGLING BROS.

With his wife they played nine years in the East on big time and later were with Bert Williams and George Walker and Johnson. Something very important is expected to be heard and observed by the music loving people of Chicago at an early date. The Freeman will contain a story of the affair, possibly in its next week's issue.

These qualities, it is said, have been admired by Madam Walker and that the young Chicago singer and dancer goes on to be further tutored. Sam Langford was in the city Monday and remained during the day, the guest of Mr. John Davis and George Byers, trainers of the great fighter. Mr. Langford was en route to Los Angeles, Cal. He said that while out there he expected that he would be entertained several friends at the Motts Cafe. The Whitman Sisters are at the Monogram. It can be said that there are no two other women in the show business that have played the stage stage; they are adville and are concerned these two in costumes, songs and catchy expressions they are far in advance of others of their race. Wherever they play they go big. They make four and five changes and their costumes are not only expensive but attractive. They sing and sing well. They possess alto and soprano voices that can fill any room and in every instance they show that they study. They went big Monday night, and they will continue to do so the remainder of the week. They are a splendid sample of their play, and they show it by their avoiduploise. PENSACOLA GIANTS DEFEAT NEW ORLEANS—WILL TOUR NORTH. Special to THE FREEMAN.

Spaldings Defeat the Champions in a Ninth-Inning Rally, By Cary B. Lewis. CHICAGO, Ill., May 23—Sunshine, rain and clouds butted in last Sunday; in fact, there was all kinds of atmospheric disturbances during the day, but this did not keep the game from being played, where the Chicago Giants and the Spaldings played a most exciting and interesting game. It was a tight race, the Spaldings won the game and then saw it away in the fourth game of the Giants in the City League and the first game for the Giants to lose this season. The Giants really won the game and then saw it away in the Wallace led o with a base on balls and then tried to steal and was thrown out easily, shortstop stole second and left when Wright flew out to left and Talbert was called out on strikes. The game was close, if it would be a close, exciting pitching battle between Ball and Skillen. The Giants were the Giants were the first to score, when one was out in the fifth inning. Johnson singled and hit by Ball. In the sixth inning, after Skillen had fanned, Johnson dropped the third strike and Hilgendorf was safe at the end of the two hits and a stolen base netted four runs. In the seventh inning the Giants came right back with four hits and a base on one in the eighth. Harris hit in Green's place walked and stole second. Johnson was safe on an error and both scored on Ball's two-base drive, and the game looked all the same shouting. The Giants' fans were happy. The ninth was the Waterloo. It was a great game to watch. Everybody was upon something to look for, and something to happen. It did. The way it was: Hartford first up, flew to short. Ernst snapped, Skillen struck out. Hizen-tonnied, Donahue struck out. A error by Wright. Donahue doubled and three runs crossed the pan. White walked and Vance struck out. The Giants did not score and the game went out to the Spaldings, who are thus out. The score it was a game well worth seeing. The score: SPALDINGS. R. H. O. A. E.

"Steel Arm Johnnie" is fast getting into form. He will be a wonder when the weather gets warm. There is no use talking, that Wallace is a "dream." He is one of the best second basemen in the country. Major Jackson was all smiles over the very large crowd. He likes to see the fans lined up along the fences. Walter Ball is the only colored professional ball player that has been on the stage. He says he may take the stage again next season. Ball was the hitting boy; two doubles --- --- ROUTE $7.50 Coronet Braid Sent ) on Approval on Receipt of Only $2.50 — The Very Latest from Paris.

Goodieo's farce comedy, "Business Meeting in Goose Hollow," was a scream, and left the audience in a general good humor. Miss Goodieo, one of our girls, who has missed her chosen profession, was a distinct hit. Prof. Jimmie Clarke is still making good.

The Olympic Theater, formerly a white show house, converted into a colored, situated in the finest location in the city, 36$ King street, opposite the Calhoun street, is now open in full blast under the management of Alex I. Easterly, proprietor. J. H. Williams is stage manager and is making a hit with Mary Anderson, the house in his parish, "Cut It Out" (local talent). He is acknowledged to be a natural king of monologue, a clog dancer and funny man, and has the house in his parish as a backdrop. H. W. Williams is a fries in the coming fight, "Cut It Out" says his father is an Irishman. He certainly has all the wit of the Irishman to perfect an art of anything. The audience is he has made of and unassuming, of medium stature, not very fair, but everything you can look for on the stage, both coming on and going off. Williams is delighted with the audience, and up well together. Adela Smith with Billy Buss made quite a hit last Saturday night in a ragtime jubilee. Mary Anderson and Isaac Grant delighted the audience with their sentimental delivery and were called back time and again. The Olympic appears as though it will be the favorite place for the colored people of Charleston. Everything is clean and refined. THEATRICALS ON STATE STREET CHICAGO. As Viewed by Rellim Jr. (Not our foremost dramatic critic). Since it lettered to me as a teacher, as a prose writer, and my experience as a country boy and a city idler has better fitted me to dictate theatre theatrical than the men who build theaters and conduct theatrical productions, or my own to grind, as there are certain privileges which should be granted me gratis, for which I now am forced to pay, I am going to do some knocking. And I am going to do some knocking. And people point me out from among the multitude and exclaim, "There he goes," I am going to style myself the critic; but not oneemos, americanoic, as that I own, but manyemos, americanoic or, that I have a great many views about things theatrical. I know where to buy a ticket to attend any theatre, if there has been to advenience, or don't know where to get the ticket. Mr. Dudley would be twice as popular if he billed himself Sherman Dudley instead of the way he is billed at present. I see, and I see, and I see. I think Miller & Lyles are "goin' some," and that Harrison Stewart and Mat Marshall should report to State street in mouthless. I mean what time of his time. I miss the press agent should wake up. Another thought of mine is that Jul Jones should be missed time of his time. I Joe Brown walked back in town stranded? No, the manager ran off. Joe is to have a new act soon, so get ready, Juli, for the grand blow-off. No. I don't mean the act will beanned, but you know Joe as well as I do. I went to the Pekin last week. The manager presented a fairly good, well-structured Arabic acrobat (an act I've seen closing the show at the Majestic Theatre more than once) closed this bill and easily proved the feature. Pankey and Cook acted in the show, the act pleased a very unsophisticated audience the night I attended, it was plainly seen that the act had been dreadful and Bluford's act, and Bluford's act, but fails woefully short of the fine points of artist of "The Act Beautiful." Tullie Brown, in a planoogue or fun stage, showed the stage for his stage, Mr. Bluford's execution was good, but he showed plainly that he was a "new comer," in fact, so inexperienced as to neglect telling his audience about using a chair instead of a piano stool made him appear awkward. A gallery god, who sat next to me (up there), said he bet Brown could eat a pie Oh, yes, the handling of the signs to announce the acts was other evidence that the act was placed first on one side of the stage and the act would be on several minutes before the corresponding sign would be placed first on the opposite side was not changed at all. Before electric signs were in vogue in downtown theatres these card signs were handled by a stage manager. The stage then walked across the stage to the opposite side and placed the other before the act appeared. This saves annoyance to be the performer and audience, and also to me. The otheracts on the bill, were Clarence Burton, dancer, very entertaining; Fish-ish cyclist, who is a great cyclist, but of the burlesque show variety; and Viola Fuller, a pleasing soubrette. I'll see you next week; something doing. THE SMOKEVILLE SHOW TROUP. They Nearly Give a Show. Dear "Mr. Freeman": THE PEKIN THEATER·AT SAVAN NAH, GA. Manager W. J.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA., THEATRI CAL NOTES. Jacksonville is all ablaze with excitement—that is, theatrically speaking. The Whitman Sisters opened at the Air Dome on the 9th and Messrs. Browne on the 10th, and comedy at the Globe Theater. By 7:30 the streets in front of the Globe and Air Dome were crowded, so that the many vehicles could not pass. Bob Russell looked thought he was putting on a show for Broadway patrons, for the show he produced was easily worthy of a peep in at Broadway. The Whitman Sisters turned on some noise also. Little Thomas and Baby Alice are the same big hits, or perhaps bigger. Same can be said of Mattle Whitman and Alberta Whitman. On the whole the Whitman Sisters have a good show. Carroll, the musical director of the Whitman Sisters Company, is very busy this week shaking hands with his many friends. Albert is a very popular and makes friends everywhere he goes. A most unfortunate affair has happened in the theatrical circles here in Jacksonville. Marion Brooks booked the team of Webb and Ebb in the Air Theater, and the team played two weeks of their engagement they became involved in some uncalled-for wrangle with the management, resulting in them leaving without a moment's notice owing the management's effort to keep the work. They made application to Bob Russell of Russell and Owens, who has charge of the show at the Globe Theater. After some consideration and the consulting with Marion Brooks and Ebb, the team had given such unprofessional treatment to Russell, Owens, Henderson and Brooks —decided it best to overlook their action and allow them to work, resulting in them treating the management of the Globe in the same manner as they did with the other performers, to show on Saturday without a moment's notice and, we are told, a week and a half salary advanced by Mr. Crowd, the manager. Messrs. Russell and Owens regret very much this unhappy inclination, and this unhappy inclination will beaware of them and will take steps to put a stop to this style of performers. HARRISON BROS.'

Bases on balls—Off Cash, 2: off Jessup, 3. Umpire —Johnson Time—1:45 UMPIRES SHOULD TRAIN LIKE PLAYERS. By HARRY E. BUCKNER, of Royal Glants, New York City. Have you ever noticed a ball player jump from a bat when the pitcher unexpectedly delivered one after about a week of training in the South? If a ball like that-fools a player it certainly fools an umpire. The arbitrators should be compelled to get the ball trim for the season. I am going to make a recommendation to that eccent, and hope favorable action is taken. There are a number of umpires who are about as nimble as the pitcher, and the ball players who are in perfect condition and make daring and successful slides suffer because lumbering umpires are unable to get into position to see the ball. Do you know that it takes three years of good work to establish a ball player as a star? A man may go through one season with a good record, and then fall short of that life. He can have good seasons in succession, and then slump in the third, and forever thereafter. But when a player goes through three consecutive seasons and keeps up an excellent record, he has arrived, and he'll stick with the big show for a long time. That kind of a man has a right to demand some consideration on the salary question. But when he has a good season, some good work the first season they appear in fast society, come along with a lead pipe and try to hold up a club for a salary that would make even an established veteran glow with pleasure, why. I think it's time to do a little chloroform. It's true, of course, that every youngster who plays good ball during his first season with the big leagues is entitled to a raise. Last year, he raked in his takeoff put on a par with that of a man who has been going along for some seasons, delivering the choicest kind of baseball goods and drawing the money at the gate. Last year's crop of youngsters has been the result of the effort I don't think that one of them is entitled to the amount of money that men who have served their three years noviate and kept up their gait will receive, but get increases as their efficiency increases—not everything right in a lump." THE PAST AND PRESENT IN BASEBALL By James H. Smith. Binga, the only third sacker and surest hitter in the country; "Dad" Johnson at home; "Someone Run" Johnson; the peerless Charley Gant at second, whom McGraw tried so hard to get into organized baseball; Chapple Johnsen at field, good hitter and excellent base runner; Barton, center field, second only to the great Moore, composed the best team I ever played. The Philadelphia Glants of 1905 were also a great aggregation, and although I knew all the players, I never saw them in the newspaper accounts of their record. The Cuban X-Giants of 1904, of which I was a member, was a great bunch. They had a high pitching shift backed up by a bad pitching shift backed up by a bad pitching shift. This team made a great record in Cuba in the fall of 1904, defeating all teams, losing only one series and that to the Huron. We also beat the great Atlantic City, N. J., team, winning eleven straight games from them after losing the first three. We lost the championship to the Philadelphia In the spring of 105 was organized the first Leland Giants team and was composed, geographically, by George Hirsch, geospatial base; James Smith, shortstop; William Binga, third base; Barton, left field; Green, center field; Mathews, right field; Robinson and Primer, catcher; and Smith, third baseman, pitchers. This team approached nearer to the caliber of the Columbia Giants than any other team ever in Chicago, and made a large amount of effort against all corners, covering a large amount of territory during that time, and one week playing nine games of ball and seeing a bed only once during the strenuous playoffs. We also rivaled, the Spalding, on July 16, 105. Our record began on May 19, at Mattoon, Fla., and ended on our own ground in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa, making that record; and too much praise cannot be given the personel of the team as the harmony and coordination of the general traveling manager of the team were responsible for the good showing. The Leland Giants of 1907-1908-1909, while composes of very brilliant players, are the team work of the Columbia Giants or the 1905 Leland Giants. As to individual players, I will say that Foster, Ball, McCellan and McCullan are the presidents, as are they as head players above the ordinary slab artists, because of their ability to use their heads as well as their great arms, winning many games. The players who would have lost out. Among the outfielders Mike Moore is in a class by himself, with Payne, Hill, Duncan, Winston and others following Lloyd, another who would have lost out. Among the outfielders him far ahead of the others. Harris is the leading second baseman. Wallace leads the third baseman. Petway, Booker, Johnson and Pettus, youngster, are the third basemen. Robbins and Marshall lead the first baseman, now that Ray Wilson and George Taylor have passed. Both Chicago teams are strong this season, and I look for a great season to play. But the Foster team is much too strong for the nents they will have in Chicago, as I see only one who can give them an argument on the Chicago League teams, and that is much stronger than last season, and the Spalding team is much stronger than that. Good luck to the new team. They will introduce a few new ones to this section of the country, among them being Cypress Streams and Steel-Arm Taylor, pitchers; Pettus, third base. At this writing the team is making good on their southern training ground on ninety-ninth street and Wentworth avenue. Bunch Davis passed through the city last week enroute to join the Minneapolis Keystones. He is booking players for the St. Paul Gophers, season of 1910. Big Gatewood left last Friday for St. Louis to play with the home team in a series of games. Haywood Ross also left to play with Louisville in the same series.
