His place of hustle. ness is the headquarters for the colored news boys of the west end, who are under the very able management of Master Shipping The Crisis, Boston Guardian, The Louisville Defender and some o the leading race journals of the United States can be found on his shelves. He enjoys a very strong advantage o f both white and colored patrons. The Louisville Pythians and their friends are making a hard march on Indianapolis in full force. The slogan is "On to the Hoosier Capital City." Never before in the history of Louisville Pythians have so many applications for the uniform ranks. The uniform ranks have great surprises in store for those who will gather to witness the great military pageant. Your correspondent, although a Pythian, says that all other uniform ranks scattered over the United States had better watch Kentucky. The boys have been instructed that when the prizes are distributed "They must bring home the bacon." Wildwood Cottage, near Forest, KY, has become a very popular resort. Quite a number of people have gathered to spend the day at the cursive that leaves Louisville is crowded with persons who are anxious to enjoy the sights of other towns.

The score was 3 to 2. --- The Lyre theater did not book any show for this week. We understand that Manager Seals is ill. The theater is not closed but is running motion pictures. The Louisville Cubs are scheduled to play a white team from Indianapolis, Ind., next Sunday. A large crowd is expected to witness the game. The Civic and Political League of Kentucky met at the Odd Fellows hall Monday evening. They endorsed Governor Wilson's administration. Senator Bradley as United States Senator, for president of the United States. Quite a crowd of men from all over Kentucky were present and made short addresses.

Watson; Henderson, and many others whose names we did not get. Quite a number of mangers of concerts, players at theaters, and other like places have registered complains because they are unhappy with the concerts them in Louisville notes. Strange to say the newspaper correspondent is usuallyorgonized because he comes to concerts complimentary tickets. This week one of the players at the Lyre theater complained because we did not give her a long write-up. This same player complained complimentary ticket. The other theaters have been very courteous. If you desire long write-ups, remember to save the price of a stamp if you give him your news. Our aim is to get the news, but we do not propose to have to pay just to boost some individual. Don't you agree with --- Quite a number of teachers have gone away to pursue a summer course in some of our best schools. We believe this to be a very wise step.

The same teams were scheduled to face the Tigers in the game, but Tigers were afraid they would not have luck a second time, so they didn't show up. Sunday's game was a tame affair, with the Cubs winning 5-4. The Tigers were spied by the actions of two players of the Cubs, who tried to carry things their own way. They refused to obey the rules, and the management has been compelled to dismiss a few of the players and place new men in their places. The Cubs have a strong defense, and they cannot afford to throw away games to inferior teams on account of two or three unruly players. Such actions will cost the Cubs a lot, and it is due the proprietor for his action in dismissing the men from the team. Louisville fans want to see clean sport and have fun, but the three players trying to bully the umpire, who is supreme during the game.

THOMPSON, OF WASHINGTON, D, C., PROMOTED. Mr. R. W.. Thompson, the well known Negro national newspaper cor- respondent has been promoted and ap- pointed to an important position in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. R. O. Bailey. We learn that Secretary Bailey is a finished and experienced newspaper writer. This of itself gives our friend and co-worker, Thompson, another promotion in the line of his adaptable- ness in journalism. The Sentinel congratulates Mr. ‘Thompson and wishes for him abun- dant, suecess.—Florida Sentinel. ‘Thompson hails from Indiana and of course is deserving of anything good that comes to him. But beyond the mere fact of resi- dence in the state Thompson has been and is of particular worth owing to his ability for the discharge of his present duties and those to which he has been assigned from time to time. He fs none the less in his journalistic ability-it is concededly great. Perhaps Mr. Thompson is not given the credit due him as a newspaper man. He is one by nature, having since a wee, little fellow, been in- clined to the field that is despised by no man. To his predilection has been added the result of assiduous culture until today when one sees and knows him in his entirety feels to exclaim: “Behold the man!” This is not sim- ply out of an exuberance of feeling, but an honest expression of one whe has sent broadcast more news matter than any Negro living or dead. Nor is this all. Mr. Thompson has ever been abreast of the times, sending out information that informed, brilliantly put and not mere space filling stuff. If one wants to know for a certainty what's going on in greater politics as it concerns the race it is advisable to consult Thompson's news budget. I! it's there it is generally true.

SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1911. Hayti is having trouble again. Well, revolutions are the expected in the volcanic belt. Old man “Jack the Ripper” must be dead by this time. Maybe it is a son that is now operating in Atlanta, Ga. ‘The publicity measure passed by the Senate this week will be of some good in event it becomes a law. It will make men much more careful, if no more honest. “Well, by co-operation the people of Indianapolis got sixty-cent gas. There is no telling what they could do if they started a co-operative ice plant.” ‘They vould give the manufacturers a mighty good scare. If a man chooses to keep a tiger as @ pet, which he is able to control, but which is a source of danger to other people, would he be justified in doing so? I know of a savage monkey which was kept chained by its master, and which, whenever it got loose, was a terror to the whole neighborhood un- til it could be caught and secured.— The Lago Standard, West Coast, Africa, ‘This item gives an idea of what's going on in Africa in her morning of civilization. Well, we early citizens of Indianapolis can remember when pigs were kept right in the back yard. Minister Furniss at Hayti has given further evidence of being onto his job. Scenting trouble on the island, he has promptly notified the governmeent at Washington. Acting on his advice, a warship has been sent to the scene for the protection of American citizens and their interests. Dr. Furniss thoroughly understands the situation and is able to cope with it. This comes from his long experi- ence, together with his happy tempera- ment and qualifications as an individ- ual. The State Department, it is seen, acted wisely in retaining him, at least until there are fairer prospects of con- tinued peace. The well-known Christian Recorder is preparing for a great edition in cele- bration of the sixtieth year of that Journal's existence. R. R. Wright, Jr, the manager, is well known for his scholarship. His statistical reports from time to time have afforded valuable information on race matters and authoritative—proof of his race fealty and zeal. His present work as manager of the Christian Recorder has served to call special attention to that publication. He promises to give the forthcoming sixtieth anniversary edition his best effort, consequently the public may con- fidently look forward to an excellent expression of journalist. The new “Jack the Ripper” is said to be getting in his work on colored women. of Atlanta, Ga., as effectively as the old one who operated in London several years ago. It is said that no Jess than six women have been victims in as many nights, Each morning was the telltale evidence of the blud- geon's crack followed by the stiletto's ineision, ripping out the viscera as if a thing of method. If we remember right, the reason for those atrocious London assaults has never been made known. Doubtless by this time the man and his deeds are ‘wrapped in the security of death. So far the Atlanta fiend has also escaped detection. London has its famous Scotland Yard, its fine detective bureau, yet the murders went on, seemingly’ faithful to some preconceived plan, carrying it out to the letter. Will this “modern” ripper also consummate his _ven- geance—if it be vengeance? What's the matter with the Pinkertons, the Burns and the rest of them? Why not ferret out this new seven days’ wonder and gather fame and minister justice ih the meanwhile? NOT YET. One of our exchanges says that eleven million Negroes can very well support three or four daily race papers. It says the colored people are rich enough. Attention is called to the fact that above a million Negroes sub scribe for white daily papers. It is all right to talk about the fair prospects and so forth, but the fact is there are no conditions favorable to a daily newspaper for the race. Several years ago while plodding along in the dark it was thought that a daily paper could make it. Some four or five dailies have beer started. Their end was disaster. There was no reasonable hope of suc cess based on sound business princi ples. The people could have support ed them considered as a mere matter of price, but there was no other rea, son beyond that of race pride for sup. porting them, They had no mission, nor were they in demand. Notwithstanding the increase in pop ulation, in wealth and in knowledge, hopes for the success of dailies do not brighten. Education above anything else has shown up the situation, mak ing it clear that unless there is a down: right need there is no chance for con: tinued and permanent success. If it is understood that daily race papers will have to do with general news, it makes a different proposition. It means general newspapers, and not race journals. General newspapers mean general subscribers. This means competition in all respects. Can the Negroes compete with white men in journalism in all respects? It does not stand to reason. Surely the thought can not be to give Negro news exclusively in great daily papers such as has been suggested. Even should that be the case news of sufficient importance to be commercial could not be secured, and simply be- cause our movements in the world are not yet so important as to furnish col- umns of readable matter daily in the newspapers. ‘Then the advertisers want sa show for their money. In the event. the patrons were ail Negroes, how about their prospects under the circum. stances? ‘The publications would not survive very long without advertisers. It’s a plain ease that there is no hope for daily Negro publications of magni- tude until the race is thoroughly estab- lished in every business. This means a variety of interests to be served, cre- ating a general demand owing to the interests served. While this is a phase of the business it stands for the better prospects of the newspaper. Then, again, the subscribers cannot be general, as is suggested; locality interests could only be cared for. Only a few cities, those that have thousands of the race, and with the other condi- tiong named, will have any chance whatever to see a successful daily. ‘This means that a good quarter of a century of time must elapse at least before there will be a realization of the Negro daily newspaper essentials. CONVENTION OF TEACHERS IN COLORED SCHOOLS. The convention of colored school teachers at St. Louis, Mo., July 26-30 promises to be worthy of the attention it has won, and worthy of the attend: ance of the very many teachers who have consented to be present. According to the well-arranged pro- gram this, the eighth annual session, ‘will be of great importance to the thou: sands of colored school workers ‘throughout the country. Everything has been done by the committee of affairs to make the con- vention what it should be. Capable men and women, whose lives are in a way consecrated to the work, have ‘been selected to appear before the body of educators. These have had training in the best schools of the land and are as well prepared to advance thought and ideas as those of Anglo-Saxon ex- traction. Any other conclusion would prove a disastrous theory, declaring for the non-susceptibility of Negro ex traction. The wisdom of such conventions is past questioning. Race men and wom- en are brought together as others are brought together, for the exchange of ideas; yea, for the reception of new ideas, learned out of the fullness of another one’s experience. Environ- ment and experience are different. The horizons are only the same when two or more stand on the same pedestal— quite an impossible thing. It means a variety of views, and in the exchange of which makes for liberalism of edu- cation. In the past too little thought has been given to conventions, Every fel- low thought himself a talker, a knower. None was so poor as to listen. ‘This was the reign of conceitism ,but which, happily, has been dissipated by the in- vasion of intelligence. It took the schooled men and women to see the full force of the aphorism that “a little learning is a dangerous thing.” Education has done the work, estab- lishing the fact that the more one knows the more he discovers that he does not know. Education humbles, making one ashamed to think he knows in the face of the wisdom of the world. One has only to read a good, intel- Jectual work to note the many cita- tions, foot notes, addendum, et cet., that ‘call attention to the great men and women whose names are utter strangers. This is but one test of the limitations. Others are numerous, as all students know. We offer this merely in support of the contention that conceit has not much place in the makeup of the educated individual. ‘We mean also that any new idea of- fered and accepted is just so much added to the treasure house. Finally it all stands for these great educa- tional movements that have in mind the dissemination of knowledge which in the end finds lodgment with the gen- erations and for their good.

Miller and Lyles drew the largest summer houses of the season at the Grand Monday night. "They gave their well-known nighttime theater," said Ignorance, which was as fresh as if new actors, rots of laughter, both in the dialogue and their burlesque boxing. Other acts which were white, included the Ziegler Trio of coman ring artists, the best Ive ever seen, and the best good Hebrew burlesque artists. Al Sharifa a marvelous falsetto but his barton voice is excellent. He is also a fine artist and actor. Ed Russell and company did well in a dramatic sketch, and the Royal Japanese Empire, gave not only the Mikado's Empire, gave not only the performance but the finest dressed act of the kind ever seen in vaudievel. ungle Specialties at the Monogram— Madam Fairfax Sings Sweet After the legitimate specialist, Modam Fairfax, had a bad place on the bill and little Harry Stafford, the boy singer, dancer and comedian, it was just a little bit of a surprise. Monday evening at the Monogram, Ora Criswell sang and danced under reflected lights and the Hullmans entertained in a jungle manner at most times and danced well. The Griffin Sisters, who were held over from last week, appeared to a better advantage than the other girls. Jungle scene which we have not seen in some time, gave considerable pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Kersands drew the theme of the show, which was the ending of their two weeks engagement. So great has been the popularity of Billy win his great name, which he could easily run for a month in his old time repertoire of original specialties. The Phoenix Theater Has Good Houses Owing to the high moral character of the entertainments given at this song and picture theater, people who attend it, good houses have been the rue.

THE GARDEN THEATER, LOUISVILLE, KY The Garden Theater, week of July 17, opened its doors to another record-breaking attendance, fully 2,000 patrons gathering Monday night to see the largest and best vaudeville bill they ever had a chance to witness. There were six acts on the bill, and every act was a top-notcher. So there was no time for any of them to The bill opened with Miss Lillian Brown, who was held over from last week on account of her popularity with the patrons of the theater, and played the city before. She was heartily received when she made her appearance, and her opening song was a very nice character production by the company, which was a very good number, and was well received. Her second song, "Mr. Morgan," although being an old one, was favorably received by the audience. Mr. Will C. Washington, the character singing and dancing comedian, was a patron to the Louisville Mississippi Dip," was very well liked by the audience. This was followed by a conversation of funny sayings, which were the first to be followed by the song, "Way Down in Georgia," which was good. His closing song, "Under the Southern Moonlight," was a very pretty number, and left a great impression on Then came Brown and Delk, those real clever character, singing and dancing artists, and their opening number, "I Don't Believe You," was a decided hit; and one could see from this that this song was written with the Louisville audiences. Their second song, "Oklahoma Twirl," was sang by Miss Rio Delk and was a decided hit; and this song was audience screamed. They would not let Miss Delk go until she had repeated it time and time again. Then the Porto Rican dance, which was executed by Miss Rosa Brown, THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and was the knockout of their act. She was competed to take several encores. They closed with a buck dance, and it seemed as if the audience could not get inside. But without doubt Rosa Brown is the best female dancer ever seen in this city. The next to come was Miss Mattle Whitman, who opened with a male impersonation act that was the best seen in the day, Louise Laundry, and it was simply a scream. Her second song, "The Dying Rag," was well received. Laura Smith opened with "Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey" and she was a scream. Her second song, "That Totalole Tune," was a knockout. Her closing song, "Casey Jones," sang in her way, left the audience screaming. Miss Rose is, without doubt, a great con shouter. The closing act, The Arntes (Grace and Billy), known as the "Royal Entertainers, had a very hard bill to come behind, their own in every respect. Their opening act was well received. Miss Grace Arnse song "The Monkey Rag" and "The Oklahoma Twirl," and received a nice ovation. This was followed by "Old Folks at Home." They did a cute dance on this song and a very nice number. They closed with a very funny star bill that was well received and enjoyed by the Garden Theater patrons. IN MEMORIAM ROBT. T. MOTTS. Since our Creator has summoned the deceased, Robert T.

MILLER, OLLIE REESE, CHARLES SMALLS, CINCINNATI THEATERS. The Magnolia — the Pekin — the Gaither. The Magnolia theater on Central, between Fourth and Fifth avenue, opened Monday night in a blaze of glory. The old has been the main hands many times during the last twenty years, and time has it been opened under new management, but never in the history of the old Central avenue structure has anyone been able to paint it. The year the managers would announce by the daily press, just previous to the opening, that the house had undergone a complete renovation, painting and dusting the patrons would see nothing new. When Mr. Hart, the present owner, secured possession, he gave it out to the public, called daplp press and other papers that he would send to the bottom, put in a colored manager and cater as near as possible to colored patrons. The contract was let at once for about $25,000, and the general overhauling was made from celar to garret. Mr. W. H. Smith, the veteran manager, was engaged to come over from the office, and the comedy, was engaged by Mr. Smith to write a script, some good talent to produce the opening production. Mr. Frank Montgomery, the well-known colored comedian, was enlisted to write the script, and they started on a search for good talent. The opening Monday night demonstrates what time, money and a little hard work will do in the way of opening a theater and giving the people a run for their tickets. The audience, Mr. Hart's intentions were, there was some opposition from some of the leading colored people of this city, they felt that the move was simply to drive the two smaller theaters out of existence, but the opposition seemed to subside toward the end of the evening, one full house was waiting on the outside. Nothing is reserved but the boxes, and they all had been taken a week ahead. Many beautiful floral pieces greeted the patrons on their arrival, among them were a large horseshoe presented to The Pekin. Those who thought that the opening of the Magnolia would drive the Pekin and Galfer to close their doors were badly injured. The Magnolia would drive the Pekin remained very optimistic, and was not in the least perturbed. He answered all inquiries the same, when asked what he thought would be the result. The Pekin had to be careful not to talk about all the people he could possibly handle, and they were very well satisfied because he has a very strong vaudeville background. Dancing open opens the bill with a song, it is a joy. The easily makes up in the closing with his wonderful buck dancing. Miss Maud Grundy and Dink Stewart follow with a beautiful dance. The Bull Dog," which was very funny and kept the house in an uproar. Their closing number is a singing and dancing number and it was a knockout. The Great Southbound show, titled that close the bill, three men and one woman. They are all new on the avenue, but they have a good act and it did not take them long to get acquainted. They are all very good at work in plenty of good comedy all the way through. They will draw well all the week. A nice clean bill. The Gather. Mr. Albert Stuart of the Galfer, had three full shows, and with the high-class bill that he is carrying he will do a big business all week. Williams and Rajah (The Princess) are the big headliners, with some real good numbers. The other formers that is a novelty and will draw well under all conditions. This is her first appearance in Brownsville and she's "got Bound," in Williams songs. Am Alabama Bound," and in Williams songs. Am Anthony returned after an absence of a year, and his friends poured in large numbers to see him. He is doing one of his mother and son, the other mother and son, are the other number on the bill, putting on about the same kind of an act as when seen here a few months ago, and the songs that are good. This is a very strong LOUISVILLE, KY. Frank Hendon Informs the Stage- Struck Girls. Dear Hendon: What is the capitol city of the North Pole? How far is it to the sun?

Dear Hendon: Honest to goodness, you men are so jealous of us women. Why are all opposed to the harem skirts? Are you afraid we will cut a big dash?—Fantasy. Answer—No, we are afraid you will cut a figure. Dear Hendon: I'm in love with one of Mr. Irwin Miller's associates, and old Irwin seems a little sore about it. Why is he all worked up?—Luvenia.

O God! hear our cry—we are sore oppressed! A pennance we'd do—aye, without measure. Perhaps 'twas Thy teachings we didst forget. Tell us, dear God—we would pay the debt, Tell us, O pray! We would fain be free! Tell us the price of our liberty. L If Pain be the Price: We've suffered the sook We have labored unfed, both night and morn, Known the pain of a broken heart; Seen many first-born from their bosoms torn; And sold at the slave trader's mart. Oh! that wall of anguish we can ne'er Tell us, dear God, have we paid the debt? II. If Shame be the Price: We've bowed at the call Of Slavery's cruel demand; Yes, we've drunk it all, the wormwood and gall.

Mr. Benbow introduced another high-class act entitled, "Spoony Sam," and made an instantaneous hit. He also introduced the act. Each one looks like a headliner. The act of Mr. Benbow as Spoony Sam was real pleasing. He is decidedly the best "straight man" that has appeared at the concert. Among the clever songs that were introduced during this act, the following ones were big hits: "Tell Her No," by Mose Graham, was a scream. Mr. Graham is not only a good comedian but also a great ask. "All That He Is Love," by Rebecca Kinzey, the "Black Swan," was real good. "In the Land of Harmony," by Edna Land Benbow is a comedy. Mrs. Benbow is what she is advertised to be, the little lady with the big voice. The singing of "Sugar Moon" by the quartet was pleasing. Mr. Benbow has one of the best acts of its kind on the road.

At night, under the brilliant glare of electric lights in the stadium, under the citadel of 4,000 people, the Flamant Club performed evolutions and was highly applauded. We are very sorry to chronicle that the leading colored pastor here opposed the parade unless he received so much of the money that was being contributed to the success of the affair.

The Early Thirties the Limit—Exceptions Now and Then. After all, it appears that those who ordained things at the beginning knew pretty well what they were doing. We are at times amazed by how much success they have achieved in cleaning up such great amounts of money in a very short space of time. The good ones often make as much money in a single set-to as the wisest man makes in a single set, and that the gods of the distribution of favors are a biased set. But careful reflection will show that the thing is all right, even according to the judgment of man, and that the production, because they have so short a time to make it in, the man of letters plods his "wery" way, but when he reaches the end of his life he sometimes ninety, he is still plodding his "wery" way, in spite of Dr. Osler and his theory on the age of man's usefulness. The fighting man seemingly is scarcely included in the three-score years and ten proposition, by reason of his strength, but that he must take the job is no longer fitted for his occupation. His bread and butter chances are greatly reduced, and in consequence some of the men in the company are absolute want. The man of letters is freed of those "artificial" fils incident to the fighting game. He goes right on to the last a breadwinner, spending his money in themate way, as it comes to him moderately. The fighting man is so enveloped that he must spend freely. He belongs to the man of money, and he must minute. The fighters are free-hearted, particularly noted for their generosity to their own kind; they give their money away in bandages. "Keep the change" is said to give delight. $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. WEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY -YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

A writer in the Illustrated Record, speaking of "Fitz was the Mme. Bernhardt of fightdom. Age did not leave any defects upon him, and he was fighting great battles, other men were past the meridian of the age, and he wielded "kangaroo" established a goal that fighters present day will never be able to touch. There are few old glove rammers in the world, and rusty arms of antiquity have evidently been the proper place—the junk man's back yard. Youth is king, and a man's proficiency is not gauged by his years, because all of them are the god of fistcuffs are pretty equally. This same writer, descancing on the age limit, says: "In the hit-and-getaway game of to-day a man past thirty is rated higher than a man past fifty powers. He is looked upon in ring circles as an octogenarian. Such a man has not a chance of ever ascending to a title, although one does hold one now—Jack Johnson is an exception. Only five fighters who are in the ring are by sticking gloves into an opponent's features are over thirty. They are Jack Johnson, Cyclone Johnny Thompson, Mike Bickle (Jack), Sullivan and Jim Flym. Only two are thirty—Jem Driscoll and Rudolph Unhloz. Of those past the acknowledged period of decadence, Cyclone Johnny Thompson is the most successful of the training quarters of the Cyclone the thirty-five years ago. Thompson is the oldest fighter of the present time. However, he must start as early as some of his competitors had been in active conflict only nine years ago. "Queer angle connected with the Cyclone's history. A lightweight and welterspaning light heavyweight, he registered 161 pounds. Next to Thompson is the champion. Johnson.

BILL WARNING TO OWNERS AND MANAGERS OF BALL TEAMS. Stay away from Kansas City, Kans. The management of the Kansas City, Kans., Giants is the most unreliable set I have ever run across in my baseball career. I had a contract to come to Kansas City, Kans., and play a series of games on the 8th, 9th, 10th of the season with a guarantee of $200. I took my team to Kansas City, Kans., and played the series, as agreed upon, but when it came to the settlement Mr. Felix Payne and Dennis refused to pay the $200 as per contract. Now, these kind of would-be baseball magnates are killing the game and making it hard for traveling teams. I understand that the Giants held up kid Mitchell, manager of the Keystones, for his guarantee, also Frank Leland for $250. Managers and owners, take warning from me. Stay away from the Giants, and I want to be robbed. My loss will be your gain, if you take this warning. MEMPHIS GIANTS, Memphis, Tenn., W. S. HUNT, Owner and Mgr Immense' Crowd Sees the Louisville Tigers Go Down. Indianapolis Ind The game last Sunday between the A. B. C.'s, of Indianapolis, and the Louisville Tigers was hotly contested, and gave the utmost satisfaction. The fellows on either team played big league ball from start to end, and the passing of a too-bot grounder or so, the game was perfectly played, every man grabbing every ball in his territory. The batteries of both teams were exceptionally strong, the battery appeared somewhat fiercer. Faust, as they called him, pitched a terrifying ball, but somehow the Indianapolis boys managed to make the runs. In the game in its female pitcher in the second game, the first game being far too hot to trust the feminine gender. The lady pitched one inning, and did some pretty good ball tossing. She was milder in her work, according to her nature. She was a bit more aggressive, only time it occurred during the two games. In spite of this fact nobody scored. The crowd voted her a jolly good fellow, and permitted her to retire after the game. An unexpected feature of the game was the bull episode. King William, the bull wrestler, had his bovine in one corner of the field and had to give goo to Velenos appearing, but he was a bull; it was a-plenty. At times the animal fretten, presumably because he saw something red, or maybe it was the crowd that excited him. A few minutes later he up the game more than once. One time he made a charge and brought in the field just as promptly as if there had been three out, only very much faster. The damage to the game was to him in the corner with a broom, but the round clearly belonged to the bull. The ladies were out galore, and seemingly understood the fine points of the game. They applauded in the field, and some in support of their judgment as to which team would win. This city being largely made of Kentuckians, there was but little distinction as to the favorite team. The game was a good show, and were welcomed with the good old Kentucky hospitality. Scores, 13 to 4 and 6 to 4. Danville Unions next W. L. YOUNG LOWERY ACCEPTS KID WHITE'S CHALLENGE. I noticed where Kid White desires to meet some colored boxer in Indianapolis during the K. of P. convention in August. I will accept his challenge at any reasonable terms, before any colored boxer is knocked out Kid Wilson, at Wahpeton, N.D, on July 4, in seven rounds of a scheduled twelve-round bout. At no time during the ght did he have a look in. I simply played with him to give the spectators am for their money. I would not be knocked out. I would repeat the work of our champion, Jack Johnson, a THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER year ago. Out of four fights, I won two by the K. O. route, one decision and one draw. Yours very truly, YOUNG LOWERY. Care Ben Riley, 122 E. Third St., St. Paul, Minn. SAM M'VEY WILLING TO MEET CHAMPION JACK. Paris, France, July 3, 1911. Editor Freeman: Sam McVey, who has challenged Jack Johnson for his title, has authorized Billy McClain to go ahead and clinch a match with the champion. Such a match would create a world-wide sensation. The champion would be given the go-ahead, so he would hardest fight of his career. He was only nineteen years old at the time, and had had but little experience. A battle between these two dusky warriors would go down in the annals of history as being the honors you ever decided for championship honors when you were colored. Thanking you in anticipation. A.

In writing from Sydney, Australia, a spectator of the Lang-Lester fight saves: the one like Lang-Lester right says: "Lang-Lester the first man of any note Lester was sent again to the sixth round, failed, be disqualified in the sixth round for going down without being struck." "The American was broken hearted at the turn of events, and roamed aimlessly to Lang's corner. "Will you be approached to test?" he asked the Australian. "Yes, I will," replied Lang, and it looked as if hostess Dun. The old-time middleweight, in Lang's corner, took a hand. "Come on, Bill, get out of the ring; here your coat, you've once; how many more times do you win once; how many times did And Lang retired to his training quarters. "The sixth was only in progress a few seconds; the latter was disqualified, as has been mentioned." "Lester made efforts to get Lang into the ring for a return battle, but the Australian stipulated $2,000, win, lose or draw, and the Stadium people also wanted 40 per cent of the gross takings to run the fight, Less than not agree, and the matter has dropped." KNEW JOHNSON'S RACE Steamship Officials Informed Concerning Identity of Heavyweight Champion Going to Coronation. To the editor of the Evening World, New York: Bearing up to your article of Juns 6, regarding the sail of Mr. Jack Johnson, wherein you state that Mr. Johnson was booked on the Kronprinz Wilhelm without the company knowing that he was a Neapolitan, and that the document was entirely erroneous. I arranged Mr. Johnson's transportation at least four weeks before sailing time, and at that time specially informed the officials of the Norwegian man, and that he was bourned man, and they raised no objection whatever to having him sail on their steamer. The statement has caused me a good deal of trouble and annoyance, as the people are all under the impression that I must arrange to arrange a Johnson's machine down at the informing company that he was a Negro. Not alone did I inform the company four weeks ahead of time that Mr. Johnson was colored, but I must down at them. Very truly yours, PAUL TAUISG. BUFFALO, N. Y. Special to THE FREEMAN.
