NUMBER 38 AFFAIRS PLAIN TO EVEN TO THE UNTRAINED EYE To the Republican Leaders- Negroes Will Split Votes—Dr Parkhurst Speaks of Belt for Champion—General Notes. BY CARY B. LEWIS. (Bureau 2333 State St.) Special to THE FREEMAN. CHICAGO, Ill., September 14.—The political situation in the city of Chicago deserves more than a passing mention. It requires no more than a politician to struggle for leadership either among the old-line Republicans or the insurgents. The right is a hot one among the white politicians, it is equally as boiling among the colored leaders. This has been demonstrated during the past week or so at various political rallies. The white politicians will take place Thursday of this week, and this day will decide whether the "old guard" will continue to control or the insurgents to have the up- The situation here is similar to that in all parts of the country. It seems that this is insurgency year, and it remains to be addressed. We have the city office to the Democrats or not. In this fight "The Negro is in it." Several prominent Negroes are lined up with the insurgents or anti-regulators, and the independents are running a candidate for county commissioner and the State Legislature. It is everywhere admitted that these running for these two offices are being sworn in. Say what you will, the situation is alarming to the leaders of the G. O. P. With Ed Wright, Hamilton and Editor Hunter on tour during his lunar visit, the department is reported to be done the Republican party locally. It must be admitted that Ed Green has a splendid organization. He is with the insurgents and well known, and has it, is said many a friend. Frank Hamilton is popular, and, it is believed, will make a good fight. Our herees are lying up with the idea of Hon. Geo. L. Knox, publisher of The Freeman, on the stand of voting independently. One enthusiastic admirer quotes from the Freeman editorial Sep. 14 that idea is a poor one for these times, when white men are learning to present a united front to the race, and owing as much to Nairobi himself, from a political point of view, is a purely economic questions, as it concerns military affairs, there is no reason to挤 together. All men do not see alike; differences of views should also be with him, and the course to do their part in seeing that they are carried out. Don't vote as you want, but vote as you thought.* While we are fighting and valued in the colored race in the city of Chicago who are Republicans and have bed and are now holding office, others who are Republicans from choice and印制 office are hundreds here that are interested. Among the Democrats are Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, "Jim" Miller and others argue of their connection and make arguments of their relationship with Democrats. Speaking of the local situation, Mr. Miller says: "I have every reason to feel that the Democrats are going to win this next week. We are going to win their vote more this year than ever before. His vote will be felt in the districts where the are the most densely populated. The Democrats are in the most populous Negro in every department. The Democrats put on the first colored fire department, and now there are only six men in the Republican administration. Negroes are going to win nationally and they are going to do the same this fall. You may say for me that they will pull a heavy vote during the voting election and will divide just like the * * * For styles and fashions Chicago is one of the leading cities in the country. This is no place for shabbiness of dress. We here certainly go some, when it comes to the street. While it is the streets, the women are usually well dressed, and at social functions they go the mobble skirt and the loop skirt are all the rage. They are made of the finest materials and exceedingly stylish. We know not how they are made and what they are made of, but other follows that they "look good." We notice with the coming of the cool weather that browns, mixed weaves, navy hues, grays and blacks are worn a great deal. Sooth effects, rattie, serges and moires having their day. From our viewpoint, this will be the year of the tailor-made. Stylishness does not only belong to the women, but also the men. They are "tired to sniff" when it comes to looking like a tailor-made suits, blue and black with brown as the predominating color. In Chicago is a leader in styles for both the men and the goods. The "brother" is "there with the goods." --- Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, who contributes regularly to the Chicago American, delivers a half column on Jack Johnson and the $3 million diamond belt that is expected to be given to a champion. Dr. Parkhurst states that the money and investment be more to the advantage of the race, but he says further: "To be sure, the distinction which he has gained is not of the highest order, but it is not a disgrace, but an honor, to be able to be a superior, exceptionally superior, type of a development. And Johnson has done that." A good many of us may well wish that we could him in point of a thoroughly robust body, even though we might prefer one that is frescoed a few shades lighter. He may have been taking in Johnson for his race to be proud of. "They may have no representative that could stand alongside of representatives of beauty, or mental acumen, or intellectual culture, but they have shown that they have a man that very white whites would with muscle, and that they must be too harshly criticised if, having few among them that are remarkable for any kind of superiority, they make the most of an instance when it occurs. A very charming theater party was given last Friday night at the Pekin Theater with muscle, and that they must be too sociag social circles occupied boxes and were served a dainty menu after the second performance at Mott's Inn. Those John R. Marshall, John L. Frye, Miss Maule Keys, Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Chas. Pickell, Washington, D. C.; Miss Essex, Lucie Lindsey, Essie Arnold, Willie Hart, Indianapolis, Ind., and Elliore Curtis. The Rev. Cook, pastor of one of the leading Methodist churches, is receiving numerous letters, urging him to think seriously of running for a bishop at the next General Conference. Mr. Sam Frye, one of the popular young men of the city, has been at his home, Fort-eighth, and Wabash avenue. Reports come that he is much better. Miss Elizabeth Slaughter, the popular milliner, will have her opening on Saturday of this week. The cool weather has caused the people to forsake the parks and hunt for their wraps and overcoats. The theaters along the river will do a booming business from now on. Mr. John W. Hardy, president of the North Fork Coal and Iron Company, who is an adoring fan of the Lexington Fair or Lexington to attend the Lexington Fair. Mr. Hardy stated that his company would have an exhibit at the fair and would tell The Freeman all about it. *** Many strange things happen right along in the city of Chicago. On Sunday, while being removed from her hospital, Mrs. Brush Stavacos, twenty-one years old, gave birth to a nine-pound baby in the ambulance of the East. On the same day James Hale, aged fifty-five, committed suicide by turning on gas in his room. Later, another man committed suicide in jail by using a belt that was despondent over a quarrel with his wife, and did not want to face trial. During the coming campaign, it is reported, the young colored men of the city are going to assert themselves and take an active part in the fall elections. There are also people who are deserving of rewards, if they would only take an active part in civic affairs, said one of the old-line politicians, as well as Major Frank Denison, who aspired and were successful. One of the duties of the young men, continued their strength, push the men that are deserving and don't stand back. It is claimed by those who know that both parties will need the assistance of the politicians, Mr. Geo. M. Teeters, of Kansas City, Mo. has been in the city for a week visiting friends. He left Wednesday for his home. The many friends of Montana well known in the city are the Tennesseans who are regretted to hear of his attack of hemorrhage on last Saturday. He is one of the most well liked elderly men of Chicago that he will have a speedy recovery. It was reported that he was resting nicely at the County Hospital on Tuesday of this week. Mr. C. W. Scott has returned to the city of Chicago. He has been at Ottawa Beach for several months at one of the Mrs. M. G. Caldwell, sister and brother memorialized the death of H.

Smith, 4528 St. Lawrence avenue, for one week. Miss Lillian Crutchfield, of Indianapolis, Ind., who has been in the city for several weeks, has returned home. Mr. Wiley M.

SMART SET COMPANY IS BIG HIT ALL WEEK (Thompson's National News Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 7.—The Smart Set, the race's leading road attraction of the season, nominally successful engagement this week at the New Howard Theater. The company embraces forty talented people, and are presenting a revised version of the set, including the role of Honor, the Barber." With S. H. Dudley as chief funnaker and music by James T. Brym, together with artistic stage effects by W. H. Lytell, the piece will be one of the best drawing cards of the year. Mr. Dudley's effervescent humor is constantly on top, and he has never appeared to better advantage than in his role. He will be one of the best ambition in life is to shave the President. He has several splendid musical numbers and his comedy is of a brand peculiarly his own. His interview "Mr. Patrick," continues to be a taking feature. Assisting the star are three of four "top liners," who are entitled to the role of the star on the stage, the best dancing comedienne on the stage, received an ovation at every performance. She has three strong numbers in the cast, including her child's dress, pleasingly reminiscent of "Pickaninny Days"; a beautiful terpsherian specialty, "Porto Rico," in the second act; and a picturesque musical, "The Thief," by Jesse Me Shine, in the third act. All three of these productions are by that popular and accomplished song writer, Ford Dabbs. She is also the director, see that they were properly put on and that the orchestration was all that it should be. From the repeated encores at the hand of the star, audiences, and finished interpretation, by Miss Walker, they bid fair to be the music hits of the show, Miss Ellis Anderson, and Miss Merry Widow in "Consolation Lane," and Miss Widow Brown. Her gowns were stunning, and she looked every inch the part. Andrew Tribble, a Washington fan, affinity, with a naturalness that stamps him as the best impersonator of female comedy roles in the business, and the fact that he was on the stage. His customers were up to date, and his "hobble skirt" was a wonder to behold. Mr. Tribble was given a big "hand" nightly, as he made his appearance, shared honors with Mr. Dabbs throughout. The Independent Order of St. Luke, through its officials, has purchased the office of the Thirteenth and at the corner of Thirteenth and U streets, northwest, at a cost of nearly $7,000, and the office of the Fourteenth and headquarters. The location is in the heart of the best colored section of the city and the purchase price is regarded as very reasonable for so desirable a corner. --- The Washington Commercial Council, an organization of the capital's leading business and professional last Friday evening with a farewell reception last Friday evening at 11:30am. Mr. Anderson, 1918 Eleventh street, northwest, in honor of Mr. John Anderson Lankford, the president of the council, who departed the next day for Wiberg University to commence his professional mechanical arts and civil engineering in that celebrated institution. He will also have charge of the machinery division and will be visiting the university that are to go up on the college campus. Mr. Lankford is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and has served as an instructor at Shaw University in North Carolina. Mr. Anderson is a graduate of Ala. He carries the degree of master of mechanical science, conferred by both of these schools and by Wilberforce. He was a graduate of the school in which he will now labor. Mr. Lankford is the pioneer architect of the race, being the first Negro in the profession, and of that profession and to devote his entire time to architectural work. He has been in Washington since 1900, and has more large structures for the great Negro community than any expert. Principal among his triumphs is the True Reformers' hall in this city, which at the corner of Twelfth and U.S. streets was illuminated that section of the town and made it possible for Negroes to own fine homes which they would never have secured but for foresight and characteristic enterprise. Mr. Daniel Freeman, owner of one of the finest and best equipped photographic studios in the country, and first vice president of the company, J. A. Lankford as president of that body. He will make an efficient and progressive leader. Mr. Charles Banks, first vice president of the company, J. A. Lankford as president of the Mississippi State Business League, spent several days in the city following the New York meeting of the board of directors by his charming wife, and both renewed old acquaintances and made a host of new friends during their all too brief sojourn at the capital. Mr. Banks proved to be a strong supporter of the National Medical Association by reason of his unique career as a pioneer town-builder, a pathfinder in the business and business of roads to the national independence of the Negro people. Mr. Banks is the vital force in the government of that marvelous Negro city, Mound Bayou, Miss., where he is the president of the senger agent of the railroads are Negroes, and where all of the business is carried on by men and women of our race. The great cotton oil mill now approaching the commercial oil mill is the duct of the engineering genius of Mr. Banks, as is the prosperous bank, of which he is cashier. The Bank of Mound Bayou is the largest enterprise of institutions in the South and "clears" at sight with the principal banks of New York, Atlanta and St. Louis. It is able enterprises of the race in the vicinity wield difficulty, and with Mr. Banks, is the motive power behind the moving of the finest at the Memphis markets, the largest market for that staple in the world. eirenennsinyseomenttnacpriaininntinemes ‘Every woman knows that nothing is more an: anoying of Feflects more upon her reputation a & careful housekeeper than rats, talce, cock Foaches, water bugs, eto., in the house.

AT WILBERFORCE COLLEGE Prof. Scarborough Makes Address at Opening Fall Term. To my mind there is no greater thing than to have such training that the human soul blossoms out of the grazed and combined, so as to lay hold of all that goes to artistic character building for a race. We, as a people, need this training. We must have leaders of thought, teachers of truth; and there is no other way to obtain such except by this all-round training being given to our students, sigited, but penetrating as well. We must change much in the race and we must learn in schools how this is to be done. We must teach our students to plish this. The untaught, emotional masses must be made over into educated, serious, reasoning beings, for our salvation as a people. We must our curse how this may be done. I repeat, then, that our institutions of learning must be the centers where we may lay the foundations for race buildings, to teach children how to us into true artists, built up from the best models which the training of head, heart and hand can present. I can conceive of no greater thing. I say again, than that this should be the land. From the primary grades through the highest universities of learning. To such work our institution, Wilberforce University, is committed. Wilberforce University is dedicated to day for day the work of the whole man—the heart, the head and the hand. We lay here special stress upon the fact that the future of the Negro people depends almost entirely upon its trained men and women himself. We own leadership of strong, sturdy character, who are to take the lead in shaping its destiny. More than ever, the Negro must depend upon himself, look to the own leadership for guidance God forbid that this should be other than a wise one—the very best along all lines that the race can afford. That is asked for our boys and girls is that they be encouraged to make of themselves all that they can be for good; that they be allowed to climb, untrammeled and unhampered, as high as possible, with all their strength, with all their experience outside, with here and there a word of cheer and an occasional helping hand, that they may work for the social betterment of our country. Somewhere it is told of those of the Orient that five hundred years after the death of Buddha, the historical founder of the religious system of Buddhism in India, we have been covered that set for the eight fundamental and eternal principles of truth. They were given as follows: Right views; Rights masses; Right professions; Right judgments; Right applications; Right memories; Right Writings; Right meditations. Now it seems to me that much can be learned from Buddha; and that if we look at it closely we see that we have here, in the young people who to "square themselves" for the making of that true artist who is to be rightly educated so as to be able in turn to help others. So, as I see it, if the young people who to "square themselves" with these eight divisions, they are on the high road to a successful life—they are becoming master builders for self and the race. I feel very certain there can be nothing of more worth than to strive for this. This is the purpose of our university life; we are extending to the youth adequate means for the intellectual upbuilding. We ask the young people to remember that a teacher is able to "square themselves" to control, to control, to give security, to increase usefulness. We that brains must not lie idle any more than hands, to urge one and all to see to it that some intellectual course be pursued, unless one has come here already equipped with that training in sufficient measure to specialize. But here also the hand receives that instruction that gives mechanical skill in the various industries; and every youth and hand must be trained. This choice should be carefully made, however, and then there should be brought to bear full determination of purpose to be chosen one of the class best. This skill who takes up an industry. Every step should be mastered and one should be able to put the industry to practical use when a carpenter to graduate who cannot miter corners exactly, any more than we want to graduate one from literary courses who cannot speak English in moral urprightness. This artist that we are striving to make here is to be an all-around model when we are through with him, and so hearty and strong in our culture, as we say. The Bible and all that we make our strong foundation. Here it is that the founder of Buddhism has given us strong teaching which squares itself with the world. We would emphasize the idea of "right" in everything as a governing force from within and from without. If we can get the heart right in the student body, a very well done part of the work of shaping lives well is done. And this brings me to the point I wish to place before you last of all. These young people are here to be educated—to be molded into the artists described, who will go out to make the world better by their lives and their teachings. We are here to teach it how to live well and how to get the most out of life that is really worth while. Our young people have no time to lose—to be more productive. They are here to learn to look seriously at life from this standpoint, and, as I have just said that the training of the heart is the most important part of a day of greed and graft it is absolutely necessary to guard well one's personal honor. Dr. Rhees emphasized this idea as the central point in his baccalaureate address to the students, and seems to me that it is most fitting that we emphasize it at the beginning of university life. He defined honor as "the man's bow of respect to himself, his measure of virtue, and his soul." I am sure I could not better that definition. The student who does not seek to guard his honor in everything from the heart to the soul, the "spirit's supreme treasure." We read of "honor"—how men have fought for it, and how chivalry is the expression of virtue in the heart, but glory is too much in the act. What is needed is that we make its concrete pos- THREE GREAT FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO. To the Editor of THE FREEMAN: Sir—Dr. Booker T. Washington encourages me to hope that possibly you may in the future be able to visit the end of the eighteenth and early in the nineteenth century three great workers for the emancipation of slaves, to visit the Wilberforce, Zachary Macauley and Henry horton, lived at Clapham, near London. The reputation of Wilberforce is worldwide, but comparatively few know the names of the two friends, who were not one whit behind him in work for the slaves. Macauley indeed had more practical knowledge of the sufferings of plantation workers than either of his friends, slave trade than either of his friends, early life he had been a bookkeeper on a plantation, and had subsequently taken over the farm and later information at first hand. He described the crucibles practiced on board and the futile efforts of some of the slaves to escape by suicide from their threatened fate. He was a friend of the frall health, but his great philanthropy led him never to spare himself in the cause of humanity. In his house, which at one time was a large garden, he attended conferences on the abolition of slavery were held, and he threw himself heart and soul into the cause. Not long ago this historic house was raided by the Abolitionists, which was formerly gardens and fields where the Abolitionists walked and talked over their plans, is now being rapidly covered with small houses, involving a popular garden. There has never been any adequate memorial to the three men, who, as friends of the friendless, conferred fame and honor with the Abolitionists. To Wilberforce there is indeed a monument, and to Zachary Macauley a tablet in Westminster Abbey. To Henry Thorton only his name on a tablet and tomb in a disused churchyard at Clapham. It has been said, perhaps not untruly, that the emancipation of millions of the hindu population as the greatest event in the world's history since our Lord preached the gospel on earth. It is now proposed to put a church, to be called the Redeemer, in the neighborhood where the slave emancipators lived and labored. It has occurred to me that Negroes might be interested in knowing that the emancipation of the slaves is honored in England, and also that possibly some of the descendants of freed slaves might like to show their sympathy for the emancipation building on the site which has been secured. It is a case where possibly the cents of of the many would be more appropriate than any of the millions, any of your readers would care to help in this matter, any contributions you might forward would be most gratefully received and acknowledged by Canon Erion, the emancipator, Ramsden Road, Balham, London.

After the—well, what kind of inti- lelligence shall we call it?—from Maine, politics ought to pick up at any old date. A new theatrical venture of class in the interest of colored people of this city is proposed. Bring it right on; been looking for it. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, is spending several days during his European visit as the guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo Castle in Scotland. Golden sunshine minted into money, was the way they put in concerning Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Indiana State Fair, owing to the bright blue weather. Our colored people of this city and of the State are beginning to take interest in the great Indiana State Fairs. This is as it should be. Formerly the opinion has been that fairs savored of farms, and being opposed to the latter, where would the fairs come in? The residents of a district in Hamilton county report to Dr. J. N. Hurty that the school house had not been cleaned since the closing in the spring, and that tramps and other "birds" of passage had lighted there from time to time, hence the necessity. The teacher ought to get there in the middle of the week previous to the opening. The Harry Wallace Club has "surrendered" its charter and passed out of existence. From all reports the expiration was by no means voluntary but an unconditional surrender to "General" Judge Collins. In the defense Harrison, the manager of the club, maintained that it was run just like the Columbia Club. The judge couldn't see it that way. He set it down as one plain case of "blind tiger." It was rumored that in the very near future a new theatre will be built on Indiana avenue, and which will cater to colored patrons. The well-known firm of Dickson and Talbott, the successful managers of playhouses, it is said will build the new theatre. A new playhouse that would be in every way worthy of the patronage of any and all has been contemplated. It was not known that the Dickson and Talbott people were interested. It may be as rumored; we have no information to the contrary. We say in advance, however, no matter who may put on the new theatre, that if it comes up "clean" it will be able to get the business. Many of the colored people are tired of being "overseen" in other houses, and want a home, no matter how humble. TEXAS LEGISLATURE WORKS FOR REPEAL OF FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT. AUSTIN, Tex.-The Lower House of the Texas Legislature by a vote of 51 to 34 instructed senators and representatives to work for the repeal of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal constitution conferring franchise upon Negroes.

For the purpose of discussing provisions to be made for colored patients at the new City Hospital, a committee of leading Negro physicians and surgeons met with the hospital commission last month to correct the errors in the monthly session of the Fall City Assoc- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. ctation of Physicians, Surgeons and Dentists endorsed the hospital project and were invited by the commission to meet for four evening queries as to the provision to be made by the general physician. The result of the conference was that the colored physicians were highly elated and pledged their enthusiastic support of the million-dollar bond issue which will be made available to the patients in the fall election. The commission decided that while separate provisions would be made for white and Negro patients in the hospital, the commission would also, and that suitable provisions would also be made for such colored people as might be able to pay for accommodations. The colored physicians requested that the commission be made available to nurses in the negro wards, where the patients may wish it, but as this is an administrative matter, not within the jurisdiction of the commission it was requested to meet with the commission was composed of Dr. Sol Stone, Dr. E.

News of the Sporting World CHICAGO, III., September 14.—It was a lucky day for the Chicago Giants last Sunday. They won everything in sight. They outplayed, outstretched, and every day they played. The Park and It was a double-header and one of the largest crowds of the season saw the two interesting games. It was Williams that won the game, off the diamond with his colors flying. The two victories decided second place in the Chicago League standing, with the Chicago Giants winning 10-4. None of the other League teams were in action on that day, and the two games brought out a very large crowd, with 11,000 fans. The grand stand, bleachers and boxes were crowded, and every one seemed to take an active part in *hurrying* or *squealing* at the crowd, Louis B. Anderson were chief rooters, and hundreds of others were with them. All the candidates for office, it was said, were seen shaking hands with their constituents. "Cyclone" Joe Williams was the whole show, twirling some of the best ball of the season. The white boys could not find the first game. In the second game, which went eight rounds, he was touched up for seven raps, but he had such a lead that the white boys only made two runs, while the other players extended himself. Williams and Pettus were stars with the willow. Williams got two doubles in the first, and many, many hits in the second. Winston came clean and the other players extended himself. Pettus made a double play in the second inning, and Wallace got a two-bagger in the same inning. Mike Moore made a splendid catch and a circus steal home. Both games were fast and interesting.

BASEBALL NOTES Walter Ball, the champion pitcher of the Chicago City League, is laid up with a bad knee cap. He claims that he is playing well and will be able to play Saturday or Sunday. * * * * Capt. Nate Harris and his men did some fine work on last Sunday. They showed that they are full of their old-time fire and vigor and that none of the other teams of the city have any edge on them. "Rube" Foster and his men are in the East. They expect to be gone for several weeks, and will later go to the South. Captain Gilkerson and his Union Glants arrived in the city Monday. This is the team's thirty-second year. They played 42 games on Saturday and Sunday. Harvey and Jessup pitched two no-hit games; Jenkins pitched two one-hit games. On last Saturday and Sunday they played 42 games. They pitched 8 to 4, the second to 0. At Madison they were met by Mr. Peterson, the owner, and brought to Chicago for a rest. They left the state of Wisconsin. The line-up; Ramsey, first base; Gilkerson, second base; Parks, shortstop; Jackson, third base; Jones, left field; Jenkins, right field. Lee, center field; Jessup and Harvey, pitchers. Green has established a reputation as being one of the best coaches hereabouts. He does not mince his words when he says, "Go! Go! Go!" The Chicago Giants will play Saturday and the St. Louis Cardinals will play them. There will not be many more games. A HOT GAME. St. Louis Giants Win Out. Special from St Louis Mo. Special from St. Louis, Mo. Special from St. Louis, Mo. and away with the Orphan Boys (white), runners-up for the pennant in the Missouri-Illinois Trolley League. The Giants won as they pleased, making it three out of five for the pennant. They loaded to the gear, having katz, of Columbus, O.; Comstock and Patton, of the St. Louis National League Club, through courtesy of Roger Bresnahan. Another big difference was much talked of the Memphis Tigers, headed by Bill Washington. The Giants fairly curried the Tigers' tails and at no time were the boys from Memphis dangerous. They played the Chicago Giants thirteen innings last Thursday, were tamed down by the St. Louis boys in a hard-fought form, but the bats of the St. Louis boys brought in use at the right time. This boy Mills is sure the limit—a good talker, a good sport and in fact the right boy in the game. He is good his boys play, he is the same little jolly fellow. He has a host of friends and is one of the kind that appreciate good-fellowship. Give us a few more like this coming from a bank messenger to a successor park manager and manager is mighty nifty for a lad. Giants ..... 1.30 4 0 2 0 0 0 1 R. H. E.

Everybody looking towards the Chicago trip of the St. Louis boys. They surely will make things hum on State street. Taber, at second for the Giants, seems to have been the hero this year and we have seen all the kids. Dude Lyttle is a corker. Mills made a ten-strike in grabbing him. I am sure he Hewitt! Do you notice how Mills threw this boy comes to the bat? A sure bet. Warmack at first. Enough said. Winter, master of THE FREEMAN? We sure miss him. Wake up, Jones. Harrison is on the bench. Th ebows are going mighty fast, Th Murray played a sweet game at third. Green, you are all right, boy. Do this sass, chicago, and there will be another story to tell. Chicago-bound in a special sleeper will the St. Louis crowd go. Go as far as you like. Mills, the town is with you, and surely proud of you. "NIG" PERRINE'S ALL-STARS WIN At Kansas City, Mo., "Nlg" Perrine picked a bunch of all-stars with which he beat the Royal Giants last Sunday. Score, 31. The Stars had their hands full until the last of the eighth, the score then dropped to 21. The Giants lads. With two men out and three on bases, Pitcher Killley cloued the ball for two bases. Three runs were scored. The Stars had their backs to the net. The features of the game were the fielding and hitting of Toney—three hits out and two runs. The cat. Sparks, Stramon and Bryson, on hit, Twelve hits for Toney in four games. KANSAS CITY, MO., ROYAL GIANTS Take Two Games From Minneapolis Keystones.

The West Baden Sprudels played the Chicago Giants four hard games, which were defeats for the Sprudels in every game except the last one, and that game was a slug feast. The Sprudels out-hit the Giants in the last game, and two or two of the Sprudels could not be accounted for, as we had never seen such weed base running done by these players before. **Giants** 6-Score: R. H.E. Giants ..... 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 -2 6 0 Sprudels ..... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -7 2 Batteries—John Taylor and Pettus; Dismukes and John Tempire—Lane Dismukes—Dismukes; B.

September 9—Score: R.H.E. September 9—The Sprures had only scored one run during the series, so all nine games had been easy on the Sprures. The Giants had been easy on the Sprures in the three days, and as this was their first game at all, they would show the Sprures that they luck broke even. The game at all, but luck broke even, game was called on account of darkness, game being 5-6—a tie in 13 innings. Score: R. H.E. Giants . . .101 0000 0010 3000 - 5111 Sprudels . .0000 0110 3000 - 5111 Batteries - Seldan, Harris and Johnson Dismuches, B. Taylor and O. Neal. Umpire The feature of the game was the batting of George Brown and James Taylor. Brown in six times at bat made one arricure, three singles and one two-base. James Taylor, out of six times at bat, was the only one two-base. The home run was made the tenth inning with two runs on base. That is going some. S. D. DICKINSON BENTON IS BACK Everybody was delighted in the return of Benton, the famous twirler, who had with Louisville Cubs during the season and pitched against the All Stars, the white chanter Dayton. Benton pitched wonderfully, fanning even all Stars, and with the worst of them the Marcos easily defeated the All Stars, winning 9 to 2. The players of the Marcos Boots, c; Benton, p; Grisby, ss.

The J. R. K. game that is heart-breaker. The boys from Indianapolis can certainly play some ball. West really pitched ball Sunday, only two hits in the pitch. Little William gift-edge ball. Wallace and looked play the game that is bound to win. In fact all the boys played good ball. Following is the score: R. H. E. Reserves . . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 4 Lakers . . . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 4 Batteries—Hollingsworth and Canfield. West and Williams. Two-base hits—Woods 2. Stolen bases—Strickland 2.

Wallace played a great felding game. Rodgers is still a good, reliable player, going after everything, and a gentleman player at all times. He is great, having perfect control at all times, striking out eight men, and he did not give a base on balls. I guess that is pitching some YOUNGSTOWN. O Special to THE FREEMAN LOUISVILLE, KY.

The Big Hit With the Follies of 1910. Ashton Stevens, theatrical critic on the Chicago. Examiner, heralds Bert Williams as the “Mark Twain of his color; with fone smile he makes, you, forget the thou: Sands the show cost” In the Tuesday's Examiner, Mr. Stevens, on the "Follies 0f.1910," says of Bert Williams: This time Mr. Williams had the stage to himeelf—and| the audience—and his Songs.

All the fans \who saw the Langford- Jeanette bout—and every fan who could crowd Into the Armory arena was there— were talking about Langford to-day, hold- ing post-mortems on the fastest heavy- weight contest ever seen in Boston, and trying to figure the chances that Lang- ford would have in a battle with Jack jolinson. Hugh’ McIntosh, the international box- ing promoter and fistic press agent, Is the only one I have heard of who falls to see how great a boxer Langford really is, Mclntosh says that Sam would be a joke against Johnson, that Jeanette would beat Langford in a flhish contest, and that Tommy Burns would beat either of them. 1 don’t know mueh about Burns’ ability to beat Langford, but it looks as if Hugi was suffering with myopid- when he says that Jeanette would beat Langford to a finish. Tuesday night it looked as if the farther Jeanette went the less chance he As to Sam’s chances against Johnson, we may all go a little easy. As great a boxer as Langford is, there 1s no discount- ing the fact that Johnson is the greatest heavyweight boxer the ring has ever known, and bis tremendous advantages of weight, height and reach are not to be dis- counted. T’believe he would defeat Lang- ford, as he did Ketchel, but I also believe that Langford would give Johnson a hard- er battle than any man now in the ring. Charley White is an excellent referee, and handled Jeanette and Langford splen- didly, but the Armory Club didn’t do its own ‘game any good by giving in to the demand of Jeanette's manager that White should referee. | “I think Jeanette can win this bout,” said McKettrick, “and I want an even break on the referee.” ‘That was an insinuation that he wouldn't get_an even break from Maffit Flaherty or Jack Sheehan. “By giving in to the demand the Armory Club “allowed MeKetrick to get away with a “knock” at Boston referees, who are just as fair and just as compe- tent as Charley White, and paved the way for every out-of-town boxer who appears here to dictate on the referee question. The club should stand behind its referee, or else have no regular referee at all, but allow the principals in each bout to select Shatr own atiainl Bin Bailey, LANGFORD IN THE LIMELIGHT. According to fight experts, Sam Lang- ford is now entitled to an engagement on Jack Johnson's card for a go. Joy ought to prevall generally—that is, if Mr. Jack thinks the Langford-Jeanetté bout was a crucible sufficient for the making of Mr. Sam. You know, Johnson has ‘not had very’ broad views on Langford’s ability, telling him to go to and prove, himself. Langford’s manager got busy, tried his best, a8 far as the public knows, to pull oft & scrap with Kaufman, but which did not pan out very well. ‘The pugilistically Inclined were put out at the fizzle, think Ing that if i were not Kaufman, then who? oe As far as known at this time, the “who” has been found. Joe Jeanette,’ who has tile of respectability in the big class, was thought on, and accordingly a mill was ar- arnged, and to what end all know by’ this time. Expert fight opinion has it that Langford 1s now eligible to a trial with the master of masters. But there are at Teast two to every contract. What has Jack to say about Sam’s fitness to meas- ure arms with him? Jack is no dummy ; he knows that Sam and crew are after pulling up by him. "Reputation and money Atthe greatest forces In the world—are at Stake, of Will be at stake In the event Sam and his erowd make Jack see like they do. What will Jack say? If Johnson consents that Langford fs At, it Will be some time before he will fight, according to his statement. In the meanwhile Langford, it is sald, will have to wait and sup off of the hope of a fight hot under a year, since he, too, has out- classed his class,’ and must wait on “Mr. Johnny.” He might fight Tommy Burns and Al Kaufman. Neither of these, it is thought, ‘care to take Langford on! He ought not, however, have any worry about money matters, since his stock has xone up, ang there aire many folls who, willbe pleased to meet the man that, will meet Sohnson. In the “Raz Baby” of other Jays, the play, the sport was content merely with shaking the hand that Suill: van shook. And you know Sullivan didn’t count up like a man in, the days fin de Siecle, days of “lowerment” of records, air- ships, ete. Pais ‘The pugilist, when successful, is simply a bank account.

You can quote me as saying that the Langrord-Jeanette bout Was the best heavyweight combat between Negroes ever held anywhere,” Jeanette's manazer also. arrived here yesterday, ahd said that while he had no Fault to find with the referee's decision, he Wasn't satisfied that Langford could win ina fight to @ finish, SAM LANGFORD WINS. Bests Joe Jeanette—Entitled to Meet Jack Johnson. Sam Langford, of Boston, earned the right to ‘recognition from Jack Johnson, Pie world’s heaveweight cllampton, when he gained the award over his greatest rival, Joe Jeanette, of Hoboken, N. J, in fifteen rounds, Thursday night, at thé Armory A. AL ‘The length’ of the contest was a new feature at the club, and the present of Charlie White, of New York, as the third man in the ring, was another unlooked- for feature, ‘The distance went a long way towards settling the Tong-standing question of su- periority, for Langford, by his’ forceful work and tireless metliods, had a’ clear lead at the end. © Referee White’s decision, as well as his work in handling the meh, gave perfect Satisfaction. Not av murmur of ‘disap- proval was heard during or after the en- counter. He handled the men in the clinches In a faultless manner, and his clever work had much to do with’ the strenuous battle that the “runners-up” for the heavyweight ttle put up during the Journey. have a walkover’ in the bout with Joe Were disappointed. “Although Sam hada big Jead at the finish, there was no stage of the contest that Jeanette was not a dangerous opponent, Those who expected that Langford would “blow up” after the six rounds were also disappointed. “Sam maintained the same pace throughout, and it cannot be said that he slowed up at any stage.

A Well-Known Young Man of Tihs Cc ity Passes Away. Esch OS aS PO ws Sena such glad, mere riment! © prines of hearts of patience, love and cheer, Could you speak to us yet, I doubt not Should catch your votes, still blithely eloquent, Above all murmurings of sorrow here, Calling your love back to us laughingly, For you sleep well! William | ‘Thompkins Goodall “passed away at the home of his parents, 428 North Missouri street, last Monday night, after an illness of nearly a year. Mr. Goodall’ was 84 years of aye, and was born in Gallatin, Tenn., coming here when he was about 4’ years ‘old, and remaining here the greater part of his life. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Mimus Goodall, and was a member of Simpson Chapel. ‘Those who survive him are: a_ mother and father, a wife, Mr.s Grace Goodall ; two sisters, Ella and Emma; two broth- ers, John and Abel, and a ‘little niece, ‘Thelma. Wednesday night the remains were taken to Gallatin, ‘Tenn. for in- ferment, after hundreds of friends had viewed the body day and night since the end. During the afternoon Itev. ‘Tate, of Simpson Chapel, held a short service and miade afew well chosen remarks. “Billy” Goodall, as the deceased was familiarly called’ by nearly everybody about town, Was a very, striking char. acter, in this vicinity, ‘and what he was best known for was his love and devoted- ness to his relatives and many friends, He never went back on them. “He could hot tur: them dawn, no, matter what. the clreumstance.” When, they wanted advice, aid ot help in any way they always hunt: ed up “Billy,” and they got it, for he was ever for them. He was most gen- erally sincere, especially with things that required deep concern. He loved music in the highest sense, which is a safe guar- antee of a loveable disposition. Vor years Thad heard him sing among the churches of the city for the mere sake of aiding God's work. What had not heard the Goodall ‘Trio in the days gone by. which consisted of his. sister, Emma, and brother, John, and himself. “They were clever ‘and truly musical. Now as 1 look back I can see In my mind's eve a man that always carried 2 heart within him that was Godiy from his birth, al- though within the late years there were litte’ allurements that “come alike~into each one's life. ,He was not without his faults, as he had said, but he was honest about them, for he did not de- ceive anyone, unless it be himself He lead in, everything that he, set his ‘head to, be it for good or for bad. He was no half-way. Whatever may be sad of him, there’ is one thing sure, he died with the true faith of a Christian in the Lord: Jesus Christ. and now sleeps well. Y. M. C.
