THE MARRIAGE OF THE MARRIED WOMAN AND THE MARRIED MAN NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION NOTES. The Georgia Broad Axe, of Atlanta, has been selected as the official organ of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Georgia. The booming steel town of Gary, Ind. has a colored representative of "the fourth estate." It is called "The Gary Blazer" and is edited in illuminating style by our old friend, Thos. Wallace Swann, formerly of Chicago and Philadelphia. The first-page arrangement of the Christian Recorder on the occasion of the demise of Bishop E. W. Lampton, was a triumph of the art of "making up." Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., as editor and business manager, and Charles Alexander as foreman of the typographical department, constitute an excellent team. The Star of Zion is coming away up. It has a brand new building of the most modern architecture, a linotype machine and a complete outfit of job type, and enlarged facilities for bookbinding and pamphlet work. Zion and its efficient workers are to be congratulated. It is soon to have sixteen pages instead of eight. Brothers G. C Clement and F. K. Bird are well placed. The president of the N. N. P. A. is desirous of having an exhibit of all the Negro publications of the country in sight at the New York meeting on the 15th of August. He asks that the managers of every Negro newspaper, magazine, etc., send sample copies once to his address. Send to R. W. Thompson, 1918 Eleventh street, N. W. Washington, D. C. The editor of the Baltimore Times has inaugurated a practice which is worthy of emulation by others of the craft. He has set apart the hours of from 5 to 7 p. m. each Monday, exclusively for the visits of people, men and women of every walk of life, who may have any suggestion, criticism, or for any reason wish to talk over the conduct of the Times with reference to its public duty as a newspaper. This "Getting Together Hour," as Editors Pratt and Macbeth call it, will go far toward bringing paper and people into that sympathetic touch essential to satisfactory service. The convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, August 16. The meeting will probably be held in a commodious hall in the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Building, 46th and 8th avenue, a very convenient locality, in touch with the newspaper offices and busi- THE MAGIC IS TWO TIMES LARGER THAN PICTURE-IT IS STEEL MAKING HAIR MAGICO DRIER MEGO ALUMINUM COND LADIES LOOK!

Every editor, publisher and correspondent is expected to be on hand at the opening. The international scope of the N. N. P. A. is shown by the fact that it has representatives on the executive committee in several foreign countries. In Haiti, the committeeman is Dr. Henry W. Furnill, Unitel States Minister; in Madagascar, James G. Carter, United States Consul; in Nicaragua, James W. Johnson, United States Consul; in Cuba, John S.

Fitzbutler, a medical inspector of the United States Army. Other countries will be represented after the August meeting. The American, published at Wagoner, Okla., by L. A. Bell and C. T. Hume, is a new one and it is "live" to the core, reflecting with commendable fidelity the invigorating spirit of the "future great." The splendid syndicated news service conducted by N. B. Dodson, of New York, will come in for much attention at the hands of the August convention. This service is thorough, far-reaching, up-to-date and economical. It has been of vast benefit to the upwards of two hundred papers that have subscribed for it, and should be patronized by every sheet that finds it expedient to use plate matter on any of its pages. Mr. Dodson will elaborate his idea in a paper on "The Place of the Afro-American in Journalism." A notable feature of the Tuesday evening session will be the address of Hon. John C. Dancy on "The Power of the Press." Mr. Dancy is said to be the race's oldest editor in continuous service. His career as editor of the Star of Zion and the Zion Quarterly, as well as a federal official in his own State of North Carolina and at Washington is familiar to all who read as they run. Emmett J. Scott's suggestion with reference to "Our Relations with the Associated Press" will be watched with interest. He knows what ought to be done to secure a fairer hearing at the hands of this great engine of public sentiment than we have been getting. A cordial invitation is extended to the ladies to be present. Prominent on the progarm will be Dr. R. H. Boyd, Prof. R. R. Wright Jr., P. B. Young, T. Thomas Fortune, M. M. Lewey, G. L. Knox, E. W.

The Carnegie Foundation, the recent organization for the advancement of education, does not think well of the majority of medical schools conducted by Negroes. There are only seven of these. The Foun- WIFE OF NOTED EDUCATOR DIES. Mrs. Marla Howard Council, wife of the late President William Hooper Council, founder and for thirty-four years president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes, died in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday night, July 23. Death came as the result of a major operation at a Nashville infirmary. The funeral services were held in Palmer Hall Chapel, and the remains were interred in the tomb with those of her husband, who died only fifteen months ago. President Walter S. Buchanan and his wife, Mrs. Ida Councill Buchanan, and Mr. Dement H. Councill, son of the deceased, were at the bedside of Mrs. Councill when the end came. The remains were turned over to Mr. A. N. Johnson, undertaker, a life-long friend of the family. The following day, Sunday, the body was brought to Huntsville, Ala. When the train arrived in Huntsville Monday morning at 2 o'clock, a committee of the members of the faculty were at the depot to receive the body and immediately it was conveyed to the college campus in the hearse of Moore & Commons, undertakers. The body lay in state in the president's residence until 2:30 p. m. Monday, the time of the funeral services. The funeral services, which were held in Palmer Hall Chapel, were short and simple, the Rev. Mr. W. M. Jones of the M. E. Church, Huntsville, read the obituary. The Rev, Dr. R. D. Brooks, of Pratt City, formerly and for five years the pastor of the deceased in Huntsville, delivered the funeral address. Resolutions offered by the faculty were read by Professor Henry Hopkins of the faculty. Miss Isora Garrett of the faculty sang "Crossing the Bar." Just before the benediction, Undertaker Johnson, at the request of President Buchanan, spoke in a most earnest and touching manner of his lost and pleasant acquaintance with the deceased. When these remarks were finished and the benediction had been pronounced, the funeral procession marched to the grave directly in front of the Carnegie Library. Here the body was lowered into the vault above the remains of the late President Councill. The slab was rolled over the tomb and on this was placed the many floral tributes of the family, many of whom were in attendance. These included graduates and former students of the school, and among the white friends present, Mr. Ben T. Hunt, trustee; Captain Dan Turner and wife, and others. Before the completion of these last funeral rites, Miss Isora Garrett and Miss Odell Robinson of Huntsville sang "I Shall See Him Face to Face." The services closed with the audience singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," and the benediction. Mrs. Council was born forty-eight years ago in Huntsville, Ala., in December, 1861. She attended the school taught by Professor Council, in that city, and later she taught in his institution. Still later, in 1885, she was married to Prof. Council, and since that time had devoted her life to the work which stands as an enduring monument to his uniring labors. She was a devoted wife and a tender and loving mother. For more than twenty years she was a Christian and a member of the Huntsville A. M. E. Church. She was a loving and kind woman and a friend to everyone. Her death came as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and her loss isestimable. She leaves a daughter, a son, two sisters, one brother, and many friends to mourn her loss. A few days before grim Death claimed his victim she had remarked, "I am ready to meet God." Whenever I think of it I am reminded thus, "Lay me down to peaceful slumber, I am weary and must rest: Mourn not that I've left your number, Can you grieve that I am blest? "Dry your tears; I soon shall greet you. When your earthly work is done; At the pearly gates I'll meet you While the Master says 'Well done.' D. E. DORTSCH. AN OPPORTUNITY.

The Carnegie Foundation, the recent organization for the advancement of education, does not think well of the majority of medical schools conducted by Negroes. There are only seven of these. The Foundation, after investigation, reported only in favor of two. The Foundation is an immense concern, well capitalized to care for its opinions an dits objects. But with all that it may be doing a great injustice to the institutions that are discredited so far as it is concernend. We know very little concerning the status of these institutions, but think that the Foundation might choose to help those that are poorly prepared to meet the present day requirements. The Foundation intimates that the two "passed" institutions will be favored with gifts. How like the world that is! He that hath shall be given unto him. He that hath not, that which he seemeth to have shall be taken from him. The old world is set in its ways. To some men it would appear that the discredited institutions would be helped, since they will yet struggle on. There is naught against the buildings, men can be changed, apparatus can be purchased, and presto! change. But the Foundation men are practical men; they have won their millions by superior wit; they will not be advised. But we submit the case to the jury of the American people.

SATURDAY, AUG. 20, 1910. A big, general good time. Well, you know what the ant said to the cricket. It is insisted that the President is right on to his job as it concerns his announced policy in dealing out political plums to Negroes. Jeff may have to go in the laundry business. He recently loaned a laundry concern of Los Angeles, $50,000 of his Reno cash. He took a mortgage. The recent Republican state convention of Tennessee was larger than usual, but the number of Negro delegates was smaller than usual. If it meant anything, what is it? The medal is of most beautiful design, of exquisite workmanship, from the shop of A. Bacqueville, Paris. It is African gold, massive, being of considerable worth, beyond the peculiar value owing to what it stands for. Bishop Walters is very proud of his jewel, as he should be, since its bestowal was a signal honor, and we think it worthily bestowed. Many more Negroes than formerly will visit Europe this year. Those so far announced as going are among the most noted in the land. Europe will not see cause to grow in prejudice, we think, owing to them. These individuals will give an excellent account of themselves as all should, and at all times, especially when in the public eye. What is known as the Appalachian Exposition will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 12 to Oct. 12. The colored building is nearing completion and will be one of the handsomest structures among the many beautiful edifices which adorn the exposition grounds. In this building there will be a spot dedicated to Negro Journalism. The management hopes to have specimen copies of the better journals on exhibition indicating the progress along this line. The A. M. E. Church has again been struck hard through the death of Dr. T. H. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder. Dr. Johnson was known for his rare literary attainments. His writings and speeches were noted for their keen analysis, indicative of deep insight, discernment and judgment. These fine qualities made him prominent as a candidate for bishop and alas, are also said to have been in part responsible for his defeat. That as it may; this at any rate: the church has lost a valuable aid, an able exponent of Methodism, and the race has lost a ripe scholar and Christianity a stanch advocate. Bishop A. Walters was in the city last week direct from New York, where he had been attending conferences of leading men having the advancement of the American Negro in view. He spoke especially of the Independent League, which hopes to make for the enlargement of the Negro's liberty and privileges. The Bishop gives it out that men of national repute, of means and influence, stand ready to help the Negroes make a stand against the civil aggression which threatens to shove them out of their political existence. A convention to that end will be called, to meet in Indianapolis in the near future, provided there is similar interest manifest here. A CALL FROM WASHINGTON, D. C. For the purpose of co-operating with the Republican national congressional and state committees in the work of organizing the Negro voters in close states and congressional districts, the administration Republican club has called a national convention of Negroes to meet in this city on September 19 and 20. Eight states and the District of Columbia joined in the call. BISHOP WALTERS DECORATED. When Bishop A. Walters of the A. M. E. Zion Church was in Liberia, not long since, he was most highly honored by that country. Some time previous to his visit there the government concluded to decorate two distinguished Negroes for meritorious services on behalf of Liberia, and for which purpose two medals of African gold were ordered struck. One of these was given to Dr. Booker T. Washington, the other was bestowed on Bishop Walters. WORTH IN DEMAND Prof. A. E. Meyzeek, principal of the Normal school of Louisville, Ky. for colored students, passed through the city one day last week on his way to TerreHaute, Ind. Mr. Meyzeek has been having the time of his life in his home city, where he had been principal of one of the largest schools, and where his work recommended him for the promotion that came to him as principal of the school for teachers. The professor's work here at the city normal was such a success that the principalship of the state normal at Frankfort was offered him. He willingly accepted the work, since the scope was greater, and then it was going up, the thing that is generally appreciated. The citizens of the community he had served were not willing that the relations be severed. Prof. Meyzeek's usefulness as teacher and citizen had made him a very valuable man in his town, and his fellow townsmen absolutely refused to give him up. He resigned the Louisville work, but all to no purpose;; even after having entered on his wrk at Frankfort last June he was, through force of petition and individual effort, compelled, in a manner, to give up and come back to his former position as principal of the Normal school at Louisville. Mr. Meyzeek could have held on, but he cared to respect the wishes of his fellow citizens and co-laborers in various fields, the Y. M. C. A. and civic work, where his influence for good was greatly regarded. In fact, inducements were made by the Louisville school board to have him come back. He rather insists that all is well that ends well. GEN. ROBERT E. LEE'S STATUE President Taft has approved, without comment, an opinion by Attorney General Wickersham to the effect that there is no provision of law by which the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Confederate uniform, can be removed from Statuary hall in the capitol at Washington. Looking at it from the old soldiers' viewpoint it is something, we know to think of Gen. Robert E. Lee's statue in Statuary hall in the capitol at Washington. But very few people can see the struggle as the old soldiers see it. They dwell on the memories of the war in which they were engaged; it has become the master passion of their existence, dominating everything else. The war is theirs; they are its proprietors, and all that pertains thereto—sentiment, glory and whatsoever. Age does not tend to reduce the claim and a grateful people have willingly consented to and conceded every demand. The very many who do not see the struggle as the old soldiers saw it, see this, however, that it is not best to fight the war over again. The great Southern section also has whims which it is sometimes best to humor. Through mine eyes the heroes of my section are as to thine eyes, the heroes of thy section. Gen. Lee stands for a fine type of manhood and the acme of the world's generalship. Viewing his consummate ability as fine art alone, a production of the age, and country should declare in its favor. Beyond this is white-winged piece and, to which, no honorable contribution will be amiss. And then we read: "Peace hath her victories, no less known than war." COLOR LINE AT RICHMOND, IND The drug stores and restaurants of Richmond, Ind., refused to serve the colored visitors to that city a few weeks ago, very much to the chagrin of the colored people living there. Recently the leading colored citizens took the matter up with the Commercial club and Young Men's Business club, hoping to have them help in bringing about better relations between the races. It is yet too early to know the outcome of the conference with those bodies, but it stands to reason that they will do what they can to bring about a better understanding. Whatever the clubs may do will in no sense be binding, the matter being referred to those interested. The colored people of the state are surprised that Richmond should feel to go against the colored people after its brilliant past in their behalf. The city is reliably Republican, the home of the Quaker movement in the state—pronounced friends of the race—the Indiana brand of abolitionists. But all this seems to have been to no purpose when the delegates of the colored lodges met there, nor for any other time. We are surprised that Richmond see the necessity, or think to see it, for not extending privileges to all alike. The colored citizens, as we learn, have been of the best repute, many of Indiana's foremost men coming from there. There remains the one consolation, however, in event the discrimination keeps up, and that is, it will mean much to the colored people in a business way, which, if they are wise, they will not fail to take advantage of. In the thing of discrimination, sad as it may appear, the locality is simply doing what others are doing. It will not be necessary to go all the way to Richmond to find similar conditions. It is a bad condition anywhere, but why not make the most of it? PUT THOUGHT IN IT. The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible condition to all. But parties change, as men change, as the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics are as variable as the waters. Not alone in politics, the law of change is everywhere; progress or decay is the flat—no standing still, it's against the law. If clinging blindly to the past means present perturbment then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things; pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. It is but justice to say that the Republican party has done most for THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. the race as a party. As individuals, Republicans have done no more than Democrats. Food, shelter, clothing, come from any and all individuals, and who are not, in such matters, influenced by party bias. As a party the Republicans find it impossible to head off the growing prejudice and discrimination. As a party they do not include this as a part of their duty. Thoughtful men will agree with them. But what's to be done about it? Race prejudice is more than parties; this has been clearly proven in recent years. How to act along all lines so that it will tend to reduce prejudice, to win regard that will give the race a valuation that is not estimated in dollars and cents. We are very far from the Civil War period, the obligation it brought about and to whom was well nigh sacred. And it has been well nigh sacredly discharged. Time has introduced new elements, dropped out old ones. New conditions impose new obligations, and which are no less sacred, since the day and generation is to be served. We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views. Such views being influenced by the happenings and circumstances that change other men. This is that political intelligence that must be exerted in order to avoid the grooves, where men stagnate and decay, becoming unfit instruments of civilization. Neither party at this day wishes the blind allegiance of a class based on services tendered in a past that is no part of the present. White Republicans and white Democrats lose their identity as party men immediately after the election, while race feeling keeps right on. The Negro's part in the election in remembered and held against them. Neither party is wholly pleased. The Democrats do not forget that the Negro vote put them out of commission. The Republicans are aware of the Negro's growing unpopularity along this line, hence sees in them somewhat of a menace; if not so much so today, then tomorrow. The thing is to get away from the solidity that reproach for imbecility and political stupidity will not follow, as must if we, regardless of what happens, low tariff or high tariff, liquor or no liquor and such like, heedlessly vote right on for the single idea as if our position were proof against change.

A Go Between Dallas Giants and the Louisville Cubs. LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The series of games between the Dallas Giants and Louisville Cubs was one of the hardest fought of the season. The Giants had a good lot of ball control, and held their own in fast company. It was due to the team work of the Cubs that they won the series. Jacobs at third, Catcher Lamkins and Henderson played big league, ball at all times. The Cubs will end their ther up nlehthe HROH will cfm wpffwr ther up the line. Aug. 13th. Score— R. H. E.

Martin is holding down first like a big leaguer. The Dallas Giants knocked some of that conceit out of Misto West. Hawndow Rose caught a nice game and his throwing to bases was perfect. Woode's work at bat and in the field was a lining feature of the series. Hawndow was the coed by his consistent fielding. Keep your eyes on him. He is all right. Say, boys, you can't play with John Barleycorn at night and play baseball the next day. Nuff sed! Lamkins is certainly there with the nose, aloft the stick and has a whip equal to Johnnie Kling. Bremer is a dangerous man on the bases. He has good judgment and a world of speed, and knows when and where to use it. Walice's consistent fielding stunts, coupled with timely hitting, was a big facet winning the series from the Dallas Giants. Rodgers is one of the best utility men of color playing the national game. He seems to be at home any old place and plays consistent ball at all times. Jacobs' of the Dallas Giants is some more than the baseman, and he hit the ball on the nose and hit the ball as fast as greased lightning on the bases. West is the candy. He generally hits when it is needed the most. He has begun to hit in his old form. If he don't take a chance, he sure to cure the battons hints of 1910. The Dallas club left the field Monday and refused to play any more. A team such as the Dallas Giants should be gentlemen at all times. The people pay to see clean ball, and the sooner the Dallas team learns the Golden Rule the better they will be. Little Griffin is certainly a remarkable ball player. With the responsibility of captain and pitcher, as he had Saturday, the game he played was out of the ordinary. Griffin has the confidence of the And The Freeman is proud of his success. GAME OF THE YEAR ST. LOUIS, Mo. Aug. 15.—The game of the year and the talk of St. Louis was pulled off Saturday, Aug. 13, at South End Park, where the boys (white) of the Missouri-Illinois Trolley League, a contender for the leadership in the Trolley League, and to the surprise of the housemates who journeyed to South End Park, the home of the Thankens are due Gatewood of the colored boys for the great pitching. Gatewood's smile won the big crowd of ladies. Never did the boys not see the colored lads, and every time any money came in sight it was quickly gobbled up by the Gliants' team. The game was considered to be the best test of the colored boys yet, and trace to Manager Mills' prediction, it was the easiest victory the Glants have registered this year. Everybody is now looking to the series with Leland's Chicago Glants. Mr. John Rucker and his entire minstrel team are in the Mills at Wednesday's show. The invitations that Mills is sending out in honor of Mr. John Rucker are sure beauties. The crowd greets him with the glad hand. The Hon. Nelson Crews of Kansas City, Mo., was seated in Mills' private box; also Mr. Robinson Supreme Keeper of R. and S. of the The Giants handed the third straight locking to the Plutos of French Lick, Ind. Saturday's score: 0 5 1 0 1 0 *1 - 11 14 Giants..... 0 5 1 0 1 0 *1 - 11 14 Orphan Boys..... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3 - 3 6 2 Batteries--Giants: Gatewood and Mc Murray; Orphan Boys: Tiach, Brayn and Sebastian's score: 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 *2 - 3 4 Giants..... 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 6 2 Plutos..... 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 6 2 Batteries--Giants: Gigibee and Watts; McMurray; Plutos: Gigibee and Watts. Notes of the Game. O. you Hewitt! Wagner the second. And that boy Taber! Well, enough said. Mills' ushers all had white military caps. Good boys! They are easy found now. Did you notice how Slaughter sells The Freeman? A live wire, and some voice. Jones homer in the sixth inning was in Mills' mind the entire time. Harrison, old chap, you certainly put the crimp in the Flutos. Your throwing from center field is perfect. Bell sells ticket as fast as any circus man. It is a treat to see this bunch of young men run Athletic Park. Can't be better. Gatewood's pitching is a good treat and the old boy looks like he is back in his 1907 form. His catch in right field was a corker in Sunday's game. Noah Warrington is sure enough a Giants' rooter. Every time the ball goes over the boys gets $5, and he pays in front of his team. Manager Charley Mills is some hustler. What do you know about this chap? Was selling cushion seats Sunday; not too proud to do anything. That is the reason of his success today. If ever there was the right place, this chap wears the crown. TOOK THE SERIES. Special to THE FREEMAN. Kansas City (Kas.)

Bobby Marshall is playing great ball for the Gophers. Capt. Nate Harris is soon to give us the batting averages of his team. Rumor has it it that Foster will be on one of the big league teams next season. Taylor of the Gophers is playing as neat a game as any one on the far corner. Monroe, Earl and Dunbar are the leading batters for the Brooklyn Royal Giants. Capt. Pete Hill got three hits, including a single, a terrific smash for a homer. Walter Ball of the Chicago Giants is one of the leading batters of the City League. Emmett Bowman is putting up the game of his life for the Brooklyn Royal Giants. Rose the former Leland Giant player, is the star of the Louisville team these days. Barber, Francis, Roles and McCielan are heavy hitters on the Philadelphia Giants' team. Gatewood seems to have struck his old-time stride and is now pitching good ball again. After the series the White Sox and Leland Giants will hook up in a series at White Sox Park. Bobby Winston seems to have his eyes on all the twirls these days. He got-two more hits Sunday. It is claimed by leading baseball men that Rube Foster's team is the best colored team now organized. The clever Petway is making all the base-runners hug the sacks these days. No one tries to steal on him. Capt. Hill is the champion slugger of the Leland Giants up to date. He has slammed 17 home runs to date. The Chicago Giants tried out a pitcher by the name of Ballard and lost 10 to 0 in Sunday morning's game. Danger Talbert, the former star third baseman, is still with us, hey! Danger is a good man for any team. Besides pitching a brilliant game on last Sunday for the Chicago Giants, "Cyclone" Williams rammed out a triple. Every man of the Lelands got a hit except Pryor and Petway. Duncan, Johnson, Payne and Doherty got two hits. Pettus of the Chicago Giants is a great hitter. Seldom does he go through the game without making a two-baser. In cutting off runners at the plate there are very few better than Jap Payne, the star outfielder for the Leland Giants. Barber and Francis of the Philadelphia Giants got four hits the other day against Lindman, the big leaguer, down East. In Sunday's game the Artesians only got one hit off Doherty and three scratch ones. The big "side-wheeler" had everything his way. In Sunday morning's game between the Sencos and the Leland Giants Dad Johnson pitched and shut out the Sencos, 5 to 0. The Leland Giants continue to win, getting the victor from the All Stars, composed of the best teams in the Intercity League. During the series with the White Sox "Rube" is thinking of using Earl of the Brooklyn Giants and Lindsey of the Kansas City Giants. --- The members of the Johns' Club, one of the strongest sporting clubs in the city, are divided concerning the series between the Wattys, M. Haynes, Jas, Smith, Wm. Brown, Wyatt, M. Haynes, Jas, Smith, Wm. Brown, baseball critics; Jesse Allen, Preston Young, Dell Mathews, J. B. Williams, Alfred Teler, Porter Porter and other lesser lights. Albert Teegeler, a backer of the Leland Giants, says he has $250 to wager that if the two colored teams come together the Landls will win. Next Sunday may see the return of Albert Toney, the once famous shortstop. He is as fast as ever and is playing great ball for the Kansas City fans. Next week's issue will contain a full account of the team that will be played Thursday at the White Sox Park for the benefit of Provident Hospital. George Wright, the fast shortstop for the Chicago Giants, played second base just the same as though he had played there always. There is some class to this chap's hall play. . . . Foster's Leland Giants will be the first team outside the league teams to play in the White Sox $1,000,000 park. The old correspondent will be seated in the press stand. Rumor it is that the John's Club is preparing to give a quiet little banquet. The boys are urging that it does not come off until "Jimmy" Smith returns from camp at Peoria. The Chicago Giants beat the West Ends two games last week at a carnival in Dodgellville, WI. If they could have done that in the league race they would now be at the top. --- Quite a demand has been made here and at other places for the small notes written on the games and players of the week and you will continue to make a speciality of "Diamond Dashes." Walter Ball is second to none when it comes to holding his position, playing the outcrop. He is a fast runner and few pitchers in the big league have anything on "Artie." Major R. R. Jackson, secretary of the Chicago Giants will leave Friday for Peoria camp with the Eighth Illinois Regiment. Major Louis Anderson will also go with the regiment. The Chicago Giants are now playing some great ball. They are in second place, and if the predictions of Frank Leland are true they will soon be in the lead. It is to be hoped that the colored boys will not let the flag touch the ground. "Rube" Foster is all smiles these days. The mighty man is the proud father of a bouncing baby, which puts him in the same class with Pete Hale, Nate Harris and Walton Foster has just received congratulations from Elwood knox of The Freeman. To date the Leland Giants are hitting the ball and the batting averages are as follows: Hill, 429; Lloyd, 417; Duncan, 389; Johnson, 397; Payne, 389; Foster, 389; Pryor, 387; Strauthers, 201; Foughy, 275; Wickerman, 270; Hutcherson, 276. FUNERAL OF JOE GANS Procession Three Miles Long BALTIMORE—Thirty-five thousand people crowded around Whatcot Epworth M. E. church, where the body of Joe Gans, the former colored lightweight champion, lay in the church for a afternoon. The tribute to the dead fighter was the greatest ever paid to a Baltimore Negro. General services were held at the old Gans house before the body was taken to the church and were conducted by the Rev. Carroll G. Gibbs. The house service was attended only by the family and a few of Gans' most friends to friends. The group came from the church to the three miles long and in it were eight wagons filled with floral gifts. The colored lodge of Elks and the Pythian Knights as a guard while the body lay in state. PENSACOLA (FLA.) GIANTS HOME The Pensacola Giants arrived last week after a very successful tour on the road. They were greeted by a large crowd, which gathered at the station to see one of the players, and then colored or colored, made a record that never in all the history of baseball has been previously made. To Mr. Goldstucker is due great credit for bringing such a team to represent this city; and to the players are due credit for the work which they did down in the Blue Grass State. After their long tour the boys went down to forage and defeated the Stonewalls of Warrington Monday and Tuesday. The Pensacola Giants will leave shortly for New Orleans, La., where they will play on Labor Day. They were also booked to go to Texas but on account of the long journey they will not do so. BASEBALL DOTS. MOBILE, Ala.—The Gulf Cliffs and Cedar Gloves played a game last Sunday afternoon at Dixie Park. The victory came to the former by a score of 5 to 2. The boys played a good game of ball. Mr. Ralph Cahill played a good game of ball. Handsome Peter sends his best regards to Mr. Frank Leland and to Major Jackson of the Chicago Giants. The Mobile team left for New Orleans to play a game. My Corns Don't Hurt A Bit.

The private car, "Smart Suit," awarded the bunch at the station at Newport News, with a large crowd of friends to have a farewell to the company, manager and H. S. Wooster at the head of the culinary department, and Mr. Frank Goodner of Knoxville, Tenn., in charge of the company, moved on to Richmond, Va., where he bright as the apposition of Halley's comet. Mr. Sheridan Davis of Philadelphia, Pa., is of his brother Messrs. S. Putt, Whitney, and the company quite three weeks and almost seems a part of us. Mr. Davis is a musician and piano tuner of Philadelphia, but engages in a location. His conscientious appearance is indicative of a very pleasant stay with the company. Tutt Whitney is offering "George Washington" allon" again this season with such revision as the same play, and is decidedly stronger than it was last season. Under the new management of Barton & Wiswell the show is most consistently costumed, and the special season is so. Mr. Whitney as George Washington Bulldog very ably assisted by his brother, J. Hornby as a straight man and Miss Daisy Peters as a Miss and Miss of the other characters are; Miss Nettie Major as Lucinda Johnson; Miss Mable Laughing Water, the Indian maid; Miss Walt as Moana, the missing helmet; Miss Hattie as Miss with the golden rule; Mr. W.

From the showing of the past two weeks, the company will be most enthusiastically received throughout its itinerary. FIVE LICORICE STICKS HEADLINES ERS AT MOTT'S THEATRE By Cary B. Lewis. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, IL, August 16.—Heralded by the New York Herald as "The five perpendicular sticks of darkness in their Southern, hilarity skit," known as the headliner at Mott's Ice Sticks," was the headliner at Mott's Ice Sticks." These rip-roaring, successful dancing and singing five made a hit at that theatre Monday night. Their reception was exaggerated, and before the stage everybody was was "breaking their sides with laughter" at the comical way in which a number of true Southern songs were rendered. Miss Nettie Glenn, formerly with the Stiffness Band, did not hear several catchy songs—and she has a good voice too—and her dancing is clever. Another striking part of Miss Glenn was the very beautiful costume worn in the third show. Her dilly did not look good. She is assisted by a quirky assistant that has been heard here for many moons. "The Licorice Sticks" were not only pleasing to the manager, but to the patrons as well and it was easily seen that they will attract large crowds the remainder of the season, likely have several weeks' run in Chicago. In a queer costume of German effect, Albert Phyle takes the cake. He pulls off some good jokes and fairly cleans up with his own hands and plays the violin and handles it artistically. Madam Pauline Dempsey, who was at the Pekin about three months ago, made a return engagement with some new goods. Her dress, she was a singer. She is in a clothes shop. Southern song that would take with any audience, changes her costume and returns to put on one still classier. That she took well was evidenced by the number of applause she received after doing her work. The Howe Sisters, singers and dancers, was one of the intervening acts that also helped to make the bill for the evening, including the numbers, the pictures were far above the ordinary and were generously applauded. The Grand. "The Hungarian Fantasia," was the selection played by Prof. Swatman and his orchestra at the Grand on Monday night, the excess number also preceded a very elegant show of the music that has been on the bills at the Grand for a long time. Miss Ethel James, a favorite of the "Miss Ethel" series, was the woman, was the solist of the evening. As a soprano singer, one could not but help call he ra good one. She sings with ease and grace and she knows how to open the opening number and this was followed by "Ma's Lassie Candy Chile." She sang this number with expression and temperament, and it was one of the hits of the Red Rose" that put her in the trained soloists class. With good music to accompany her and the wonderful voice she possesses, James has sung this number not only for her but for Jesse and Della Clipper, known as "The Clippers," was another good number. Jesse gets real mad at Della and starts to leave and Miss Clipper starts to sing "Some of the song was somewhat new and the way they put it on goes very big." Mess & Frye are the two clever comedians that hold the fort for several minutes, featuring "On the Road to Monterey." The Dahomian Trio, Mobley, Bosan and Grainger, come on the stage playing instruments to the tune "When Teddy Comes Marching Home." They are memorials of the dancers, who course clever dancers. Mohly makes a big hit when he sings "What's What and Who's Who?" The whole bill was a good one, as were also the new moving pictures. The Monogram. Manager Kline of the Monogram had a good bill at his theatre this week. Miss Abbie Mitchell, the bride-elect was the most beautiful woman she life than she did wife singing "My Here" and "Rubber Neck Moon," the latter song having been written especially for her by Chris Smith. Mrs Abbie (nee Browne) who is the wife of the voice. She seemed to feel that again she was a wife. Her voice was clear and sweet and she moved those tanzalizing songs with perfection. She wore a handsome costume and was accorded a grand reception. Brooks & Brown put on a little school show and was funny with that droll talk, which reminds one of Bert Williams, brings down the house. He Brooks is always funny and with that Miss Brown sang her song, "Some of These Days," by request. Miss Brown has a delicious charm about her when singing this song that others cannot imitate. Miss Brown sang her song, "Some of These Days," by request. Miss Brown has a delicious charm about her when singing this song that others cannot imitate. What You're Thinking About. He gets off just enough good humor to keep the audience in an uproar of laughter. He lives in musicville, that he will put on soon. Perlin and Gresby pove to be splendid entertainers. Miss Gresby sings "Sweet Pair of Lips, written by Chris Smith. He lives in musicville and is "prince and princess of dancers." A good set of moving pictures is also Monday evening at the three performances. STAGE NOTES. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown are back from Milwaukee.

This week they will be at the Grand Theater, and they will be at the Grand Theater. Mr. Edwards wears a broad smile, and says hello to all in the professios. While standing in front of the Pekin Theatre last week, a well dressed colored man drove up and a bunch of theatrical men were standing near. The well dressed colored man was Fiddler to hold his horse. This he did. Fiddler had on his finger a diamond worth about $300 and a stud worth $500. He had a marriage, a stranger handed Fiddler a thin dime. He accepted the coin and put it into his jeans. Several of the other fellows scoffed at him but it showed that Fiddler belongs to that class of mankind that never refuses money. As stated the Freeman last week, the Miss Abbie Mitchell would become a bride to the Fiddler, driven to the parsonage of the Institutional Church and married to William Phillips. The wedding ceremony took place at cocktails in the afternoon. It was a quiet wedding, performed by Rev. A. J. Cary. Miss Mitchell said Monday night that her marriage would not interfere with any of her theatrical engagements. Mr. Phillips is a graduate of the University and is highly connected, being in the employ of the C. B. & Q. Railway in the surveying department. Says the Chicago Record-Herald.

He would be either in London or Melbourne, Australia. As for Sam Langford and his continued callings for recognition, Johnson would have out his former statement "that the Boston black was too much of a faker to mingle in the champion's game." After weeks duration Johnson will hurry back to Chicago and prepare for his second invasion of Europe. His first stopping place will be at the Antipodes, where the theatre tour and incidentally talk business with Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, who is anxious to stage Johnson's fight.

It is said by nearly all of our incoming members who join us about every two weeks from the various companies in the industry. It is also the ability of our new performers every other week, and we could use many more if they could do what they claim in their letters. We are the same people about the same. They are Estelle Harris, Laura Smith, and Margie Croby. They are a trio I venture to say cannot be beaten.

Little Lucie, the charming soubrette from Virginia, is with us and going some with her clever dancing and singing. How often praise cannot be Wilson & Bivik's ability.

Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, so long and so favorably known through his work at Hampton Institute, and now doing important work in the Census Bureau in Washington, has been secured to give two courses of three hours each for the coming year in the School of Theology and the College of Arts and Sciences. Larger attention will now be given to systematic instruction in elocution. Mr. Forrest B. Washington, an honor man at Tufts College, taking the Wendell Phillips and other prizes for oratory in the School of Elocution, and who is an exceptional representative of his race, has been secured. With victories during the last year in four debating contests last year, new laurels will doubtless be won by Howard men when elocution is a regular elective. Miner Hall has been fitted up as a most attractive home for young ladies, and the presence of Miss Marie L. Hardwick as preceptress has made it more popular than ever. Prospects are favorable for a large attendance of young women to enter on the various courses offered by the university. The new Science Hall is completed and is now being equipped for the best modern work in the sciences. Instead of three professors and instructors, as was the case four years ago, six professors and four assistants will give their entire time to scientific instruction. Plans are being drawn for the new Hall of Industrial Arts and Applied Sciences by one of the architects of the Interior Department.

Gans was not a pauper by any means; he spent his money like a lord as he made it, but with all that he had the good sense to lay up for a rainy day. So while the king was in the palace here is sure to be true. In that he saved enough out of his earnings to care for what he left them is managed with care and prudence. Gans was not an other Dixon by any means. So his master has double claim to the title. Here is what is said of him at Baltimore. "I is said upon good authority that Joe Gans, who died at the home of his mother last week, left his mother and his children to me. He made no will, but divided his property in such a way that none need fear the wolf for many years to come. He assigned the Goldfinch Herd to his wife to watch her afternoon and also provision for his aged mother. "Only one or two persons besides the members of the family know how much Joe Gans was worth as a private report, he left an estate valued at about $45,000. "When asked about the amount of his property, his widow, Mrs. Martha Gans, said: "That is a question I would not care to discuss. Joe made money in his day and spent it, but he did not forget to put something away for a rainy day, so may pray for his mother, his children and myself in such a way that we will not need to worry for some time to come." Bearing on the subject of the financial condition of Joe Gans, his wife sent Mr. Elwood C. Knox, manager of The Freeman, the following letter: Baltimore, August 8, 1910. Elwood C. Knox "Dear Sir--Under the especially trying conditions under which I am now laboring, I can assure you that knowing the many favors extended Joe during his ring days by the press, I trust you will allow me to take occasion of deny the many alterations he has made to his husband's financial standing. Joe is no millionaire, but he has, thank God, saved enough so that his family need not want after his days are ended. Although he realizes that he must be a lesser, but he will not throw up the sponge, that you will be interested in knowing that neither Joe nor I would for a moment countenance a benefit of any sort and in his dying moments he feels a need to be cared for his loved ones so that they will not be forced to look for charity from any one else. You will be doing Joe and this fact must strongly. "Here in Baltimore, where Joe has many tried and true friends, the proffer needs to say, my husband has been loved up considerably by them. Before he went away a Baltimore newspaper told me concerning a benefit, and I had thought that it was really known that nothing in that line was needed. His hotel here is on a profitable basis and I intend to carry on the business when the apparently inevitable end comes. "While Joe's life is hanging by a thread we are hoping against hope and trusting that maybe the little spark will kindle in the muscles to come and will regain his strength. We are also hoping that other climate that might possibly prove beneficial. "Thanking you for your past favors to Joe and for this, I am, sincerely yours, "MRS. JOE GANS." Cultivate a cheerful disposition by all means. The lack of it, says Joe Choynsvik, cost Jeffries the victory at Reno. The lack of it, says Jeffries, the same there’s enough in it to warrant the heeding. The lack of a cheerful disposition did not help Jeffries; that much is true at any rate. Then his gruff cost, friends and admirers. Morosense and badness and admirers. Morosense and badness and admirers. It defeat were done in marble and bronze or in any enduring substance and meant to stand for art, it would be of a sorry, sully aspect and non-inviting and that human nature one expects to see. Choynski, for some reason, seems to be the least exponent of the fighting games, as he weighs the respectability attacks to him, which says that he is easy, but at that he is not infallible. So he must be the quality of stress grouch as the quality the toughness about his defeat, it will have to be accepted forever as one man's opinion. Here follow an interesting observation by Joe Choynski: $3.50 RECIPE CURES WEAK MEN----FREE SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY -YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame drains, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, the follies of youth that has cured so many men and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and vitality should have a copy. So I have determined send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, what I believe is the quickest-acting cure that IOT-TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson $331 Luck Building. Detroit, Mich. $399 Luck Building this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary doctor free of charge. A great many doctors could charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send them. BY HAROLD C McGATH. "I never saw an athlete in my life that could excel Jeff at any of the sports. He could easily break records, and his condition could not be improved upon." He was an excellent commendation, and since it comes from one in that business it bears the earmarks of truth. If the opinion was general, it can easily be seen why Jeff was such a big favorite. Gulliverists and athletes could not conceive that Jeff was so great. But he lost his technique in the days of real ease; it plays no favorite; it is jealous of its domain. A violinist on being asked as to his practice, said: "When I miss practicing a day, I know, when I miss for two days, my friend knows it. I miss for three days, everybody knows it." With some such application, Mr. Jeff wasn't a fit candidate. The following from Choynski will also prove interesting: "In the first round at Reno Johnson hit Jeff a right-hand punch (not hard) back of the ear—the mastoid process—a punch which ordinarily I allow an opponent to view to injuring his hand, but in Jeff's wake state it dazed him. As I handled the sponge I was the only one he spoke to. He told me it was a nasty punch and dazed him. In the third, when he got a punch in the eye (right eye), he told me to look for the wound in the punches, but the advice was lost to him." If the remaining rounds were as eventful as these, then Jeffries was a hero. The following table will prove that the champion was another Don Quixote fighting a wind mill. But hear Choynski again "Iil guarantee had I not been there the contest would have ended in the sixth, as the rest of them were in a quandary as to what to do. I sucked the blood from his nose for five rounds and kept his eye from closing entirely. I knew he would lose, but I was awaiting the inevitable, but was not hurt any; he simply collapsed." **Table of Effective Blows Struck.** | | By | By | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Face (not otherwise specified) | 3 | 53 | | Jaw | 8 | 8 | | Neck | 2 | 2 | | Nose | 2 | 2 | | Mouth | 1 | 1 | | Chin | 1 | 1 | | Body (not otherwise specified) | 13 | 5 | | Cheek | 2 | 2 | | Ribs | 1 | 1 | | Head | 4 | 4 | | Shoulder | 1 | 1 | | Grand total | 24 | 77 | Total lefts | 18 | 65 | Total rights | 6 | 12 | Johnson alone was credited with upper-cut nine of his total blows being of this variety. In the last round the expert reporters at the ringside tallied seven blows to the jaw struck by Johnson—Jefries delivering none. Johnson rained rights and lefts. Jack Johnson is seized with a mania for automobile racing. Just who he is reckoned to be, he is making a great mistake. He says that he wants to prove that he can be champion of something else besides prize fighting. Johnson's friends and admirers do so because to see him making a spectacle of himself he must be an automobile. If Johnson were a jockey one would think nothing of seeing him astride a horse plying the lash on the home stretch, but since he has greatly improved, it is to be hoped he will stay on the job. True enough, Johnson has been opposed on account of his color, barred from entering certain automobile races, including the 1964 Indianapolis race, disappointed that he did not enter the race. No one wanted to see him in a contest of that kind, and it is to be hoped that he would be able to win. The chances in his new game are against him. He would be no master of the situation as when fighting. Defeat would be a great victory, but very little glory. There is not much glory added to a man who makes his Planola play best. In the first place, the man has but very little to do with it. He has to learn to play the machine. The individual can only pull it wide open and let her go. He may do a little more than have nerve, but not a great deal more. The machine gets the man to make the smoker in the driver. Jack courted to know that. A GREAT PITCHER. Kansas City, Mo.-Bill Lindsey, the star pitcher of the West, held the crack Royal Giants of Kansas City, Mo., down the stretch. White people say, that Lindsey were white he could draw the salary that Brown of the Chicago Cubs draws. The Cubs did not home run off him with a man first base, Lindsey did great work. Tenney is among the best throwers in the business. BASEALL AT KANSAS City, MO. Royals Beat Leaders of City League. The Kansas City colored fans have been anxious to see the Negro teams clash with the teams of the City League. It is to be remembered that the promoter of the game was to throw on any of the colored teams in the organization, and ever since the Royals have had vengeance in their hearts. Sunday was an off day for the Royals, and they played the Schmelzers at Shelly Park. A good cwd wdws on hand almost equally mixed, and the colored and white fans cheered their respective teams. Mackey and Mills were the battery for the white boys, and Chinn Norman and Jones started the game for the Royals. Chinn pitched A1 ball until the seventh inning, when the Schmelzers began to lose. Young Children was called to relieve him. Chields showed super form and the boys supported him in fine style. The game ended with the score of 2 to 2 in favor of the Royals. Young Children and claim the game was as good as any played this season. Childs, Sunny Jim and Norman are pitching in star form these days. Milleren is putting balls over the fence almost every game. He is being called "Home Run Gabbie" now. Jones, formerly of the Knothe Reds, is playing the匹配 for the Royals now and is pegging them from all angles. Toney, Robinson and Williams are letting few ahcences go by these days and are considered mighty good infielders in these parts. Next Sunday the Royals and the Kansas City Giants will play again, and Captain Jack says that he is going to beat the Kansas City Boys again. PENSACOLA STARS SHUT OUT THE PHOENIX GIANTS. The Phoenix Giants suffered a complete shutout seven-inning game last Friday, August 5, by the Pensacola Stars, with a score of 9 to 0. Tatton knocked out a player in the first inning, and two men on base. The Pensacola Giants are expected to arrive Sunday, August 7, after two successful months on the road. They have won a record that never a team in this country, either white or black, has played in. A great ord has been published in all the local papers. They went to Kentucky and played a game in which eight home runs were made in the first inning. A great ord has been published in all the local papers. The game by the people of that city. It will be one of the greatest affairs ever given in honor of a baseball club. KANSAS CITY CYCLONES Claim Championship of the West. Special to THE FREEMAN The Kansas City Cyclones are now claiming the championship of the West. They defeated the St. Louis Giants July 11 and the Chicago Bulls July 14, won from the All Stars of St. Louis by a THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Special to THE FREEMAN. Meridian, Miss.—The most interesting game that has been seen here this summer was played last Monday at Highland the bank by the Meridian Tigers and the East End in joint Hibernian last twelve innings, darkness ending the struggle with the score a tie of 6 to 6. McMorris pitched great ball for the Tigers, keeping his opponents down with the innings, when he walked two men and allowed two hits, which allowed the 400's to cross the rubber. He was relieved by Herr, who as was touched for three hits, and as was touched for great ball at short or the 400's making a double play that would make Lloyd of the Leland Giants sit up and look wise. Mason's long throw from left field, catching the first hit was a paean. Dr. Stafford of Mahone Bay is under the keystone bag. Richards and Cramer have gotten a bunch together that is hard to beat. Richards, being an old Jackson College star, knows em when he plays. He was strong, but didn't get so until B. Davis, Morrisette and E. Davis left the Tigers to join him. Umpire Webb will have to do better. "keep the owners and fans for the game," giving him a lifting in the next game. Study your books, Jimmie, old boy! BASEBALL AT DAYTON, O.—MAR- COS WIN AGAIN King, the star pitcher of the Marcos, won a fast and interesting game from the team, scoring 10 runs and scoring a Air Tights of 6 to 5, and later defeated the Air Tights (also white) by a score of 6 to 6. Last Sunday a large crowd came out and saw the Marcos with Sloan, the famous seasnail twirler, defeat the colored team Elkins and the score being 15 to 8. The teams seawed until the fifth inning, when Sloan began to get in action. The features of the team were Paddy Hurley, Turners, Ayers' two-baggers of Springfield, and Tivus, the fastest Marcos runner; Boot Anderson, the star third baseman's two baggers, and Sloan's two innings during the at-tack, and sixth innings, scoring three at each hour.

JUST WHY LANGFORD CAN NOT WHIP JOHNSON. And the Uselessness of Making Such a Match. The real reason that Sam Langford has no business whatever with the big champion Jack Johnson is that Jack outclasses him in every way in the world. In the first place Sam is a light heavyweight with a punch that would in no way affect a giant of the sort that Johnson is. Sports who are urging such a match with the idea that Langford can easily defeat such a fighting machine as the champion, are simply wasting time, for there will never be any such battle. Just think, weighing nearly forty pounds more than his opponent and being one of the most scientific as well as most powerful men in the world going up against a man far less his inferior in size, weight and everything under the sun to bring about instant victory. Langford can never become the man that Johnson is today, for the reason that Johnson has acquired a knowledge of ring generalship that few men have ever possessed. NOBODY IN SIGHT TO WHIP JACK JOHNSON. Defeat of Jeffries Leaves No White Fighter on Whom White Race Can Depend. Jack Johnson now finds himself in much the same position that Jim Jeffries was in when he defeated Jack Munroe back in 1904. There is nobody for him to fight. Johnson has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that he is the peer of any man in the mitt game and if he takes care of himself it will be a long time before any man will be able to take the championship crown from his head. Sam Langford talks of fighting Jack and has challenged the big black for a battle. Johnson says he will pay The Good Housekeeper Will See That There Are No Rats or Cockroaches in Her Home. Nothing is more discouraging to the careful housekeeper than to have rats, cockroaches or other vermin in her home, especially when she has visitors. Any annoyance of this kind is entirely needless. Here will get a box of Stearns' Electric Rat and Roach Paste, which will drive rats and mice out of the house to die and kill the home of the cockroach pest in a single night. Stearns' Electric Paste is sold by druggists or sent express prepaid on receipt of price. 2 oz. box 25.1, 16 oz. box $1.00. Stearns' Electric Paste Co., Chicago, Ill. no attention to the defi, declaring such a fight would not draw. "I don't think Langford can whip Kaufman or Ketchell," said Jack, "and everybody knows neither of these men have a chance with me." Tommy Ryan has been coaching a big Irishman known as Con O'Kelly. Under Ryan's instructions Kelly won his first battle, a fight with a man named Comiskey, whom no person ever heard of, but foxy Tommy isn't going to put his man against Johnson for some time to come, if at all. Johnson is so much better than any other man now in the ring that the only hope for the white race lies in some unknown being developed in the next year or two who can get him into the ring out of condition as he has been in several battles since he defeated Tommy Burns. Up to the time Johnson fought Jeffries there were many who said the Negro didn't have the necessary punch to defeat a good man. This no doubt was due to the big black's peculiar style of milling. He always has been content to take his time and go easy with an opponent. Before the fight with Jeffries, Johnson said he intended to prove that he did have the punch, and he did. We have got to give it to Johnson, and it is to be hoped that he behaves himself. The big purse he won will pay many a fine for auto speeding and he will make much more in the next year or so on the stage. One result of the fight was to increase the feeling of dislike between the races. It has caused race riots all over the country between whites and blacks, and in these battles, the blacks being outnumbered, got the worst of it. One of the worst of these fights was in Washington, and Major Sylvester, chief of the capital city police, issued an order the next day forbidding the showing of the moving pictures of the battle in that city. For my part, I believe Bob Fitzsimmons in his prime would have been a harder man for Johnson to whip than any of them. But Bob would have been at the same disadvantage as he was with Jeffries. Thirty or forty pounds difference in weight would have been too much even for the big freckled one. DECLARES NEAL TO BE BEST THIRD BASEMAN. Says That Black Man Really Has No Equal. Buxton, Iowa, July 18. To the Editor of The Freeman. Sir—In traveling through the country and being quite a baseball fan, I have found one of the best third basemen in the country, if not the best. He is a black man and therefore I cannot use him, so I will recommend this player to the colored magnates. The gentleman I refer to is Mr. George Neal, who opened the season with Tobe Smith, manager of the Kansas City (Kan.) Giants, and was called home on account of the illness of his wife. He told me he would not go back to Mr. Smith this season, as he thought the season too near gone to resume, but would play with Mr. Smith the season of 1911 if the inducements were not too against Mr. Smith. Already he has had several bids that are more than what he received at the hands of his former manager. All I can say is that if Mr. Smith lets that man get away he is a very poor manager. But look out, Mr. Smith, or Young of the Oklahoma team or the wonderful Rube Foster or some one else might nab him before the season is gone. Old Scout. Buxton, Iowa.
