Chicago, Ill., June 16. Special to the Press. Last Sunday was the biggest day that people on the South side have witnessed or years.

Eighth Regiment of the cavalry, the 12th guard, Tumphair Knights of Pythias, Patriarchs, Great Lake Lodge of Elks, Forresters and United Brothers of Friendship. Several of the cavalry marched in line of march. It was an ideal day and the orders made a fine showing. Mr. Rosenwald Speaks. "Some years ago," he said, "I was apprehended by some one who was raising me and started me a little, because I was Jew, had no real interest in getting converts to the Christian religion. The idea ooccurred when I wanted to spend their time and money on African thousands of miles away when we have millions of the same race who are as usual when Mr. Messer undertakes a thing almost before any one knows it. It is done. This fine building was built for Mr. Moorland, and the plan was be talked over it occurred to me that if this was a good understatement, it would be just as valuable in other cities. I saw nothing of this to Mr. Messer until one day he telephoned to me that Mr. Moorland was to bring Mr. Moorland out to my place of business for lunch. I wanted to took this man over. It did not take me long to see that Mr. Moorland was in earnest." Mr. Messer was engaged in raising the million dollar fund for the Y. M. Messer, but from me would not be rejected. I asked him if a portion of the found would be used for a building for the Y. M. Messer, but it would not; that the entire amount had been appropriated for other use and the arrangement I suggested could have been included. I guess I would subscribe until he was ready for the cause of the colored man. Work for Colored Man. "About a year after the million dollar fund was raised and being as much land announced, the cancer care team announced he was ready to start a campaign for a building for colored men. I then told him of my plan. I then looked at a mute rather strangely. He looked at me and doubted he had ears. At least his expression indicated that he doubted my sincerity. He has been since accomplished here and has been city largely due to his ability. "We are here today to dedicate this building to ours and to ourselves to the unfinished world. Great task before us of removing race hatred. I want to bring you a message to you that your cause is just, that the world moves forward, that God still rightfully causes the cancer and is an arm strong enough to bring victory." Booker T. Washington Speaks Dr. Washington was given a great ovation. He declared that the opening of the building marked an epoch in the advancement of the Negro. He said: "The bright opportunity offered by this splendid institution," he said, building the foundation that last clean clean blood without which no man can succeed. It should aid them in cultivating habits of economy, to invest in proper items that last longer, to should them to grow, to should them to habit of living to read the best literature. It should be of service in decrease the black race. Influences growing out of this building should result in putting into the colored men of Chicago a new generation of lives and to work to save not only themselves but others." Mr. Sidley read a list of the givers of life who have made the building a possibility. Among them were N. W. Harris, $25,000; Julius Rosenwald, $25,000; the Pullman Company, $25,000; and the colored people, $20,000. Dr. George C. Hall Speaks. Dr. George C.

And once there knelt in prayer A follen maid, whose wealth of dusky hair Swept low above each single silken thread, It grew in beauty, till its folds were spread Upon her bridal couch; and warm and beautiful She wrapped her children in its silken care. And on its silken surface laid her dead. And yet men barter for the palr ygold— This thing, so closely knit to human life It is the fragrant breath of maid or wife; Its warp and woof a thousand dreams enfold. Step softly! lest the pile beneath your feet. The secrets of the Moslem maid repeat. —Clara Griffith Gazzam, in the Outlook. Muzzle the sensational gossiper! Is there human slavery in the Philippines? Baltimore Negroes own real estate valued at $10,000,000. King Menelik, of Abyssinia, has not died now for several weeks. Progressive principles cannot be monopolized by a single political party. A real tragedy is enacted when a leader arrals out with his "man Friday." The Army and Navy Register very fittingly refers to him as "the sizzling Sisson." Anyhow, there's something kind of diggish about ignoring in an automobile accident. The Washington Y. M. C. A. has established itself as a model for the country large. Give us an assured income of $4,000 per annum and we shall not kick about paying a reasonable tax on it. Negroes must stop making so much noise in public places, if they hope to be regarded as desirable patrons. A fellow who undertakes to advise business men should have some business success chalked up to his own credit. With New York and Pennsylvania practically assured of Negro regiments, the unfortunate look for the Afro-American is looking up. Andrew Carnegie has donated a substantial sum for a new building at Snow Hill Industrial Institute, an off-shoot of Tuskegee. A man of merit is made more meritorious by the slaps of his enemies. The "knockers," far from discouraging him, simply put him at his bettle. Lest you forget, we be to again repress marvelous financial secretary, will be elevated to the bishopric at the general conference in 1916. The Kansas City Business League is coming forward and will send a bishop, E. E. Vaughn, the corresponding secretary, to an organizer with "class to him." The colored people of this country are watching the tussle between the national government and the state of California because of the state's decision to become "het up" over the situation. Only the A. M. E. church has lost by the failure of the Kansas City General Conference to elect that intellectual giant, Dr. Roman, to the editorship of the M. E. Church. The church will be granted by the conference of 1915. Desiring to promote the welfare of its colored employees, the Pullman Car Company, of Chicago, has given $10,000 to the colored people of Kansas City in a practical method of solving the problem of racial uplift where help is most needed. "There is but one issue: Give the Negro a square deal," truthfully and tersely said the Rev. Thomas T. Brother, B.S.

A CARD OF THANKS DALLAS, TEXAS The Extreme Southern Negroes Moving Up Internationally. Their Youth Industrially. Special to THE FREEMAN While Texas is the extreme Southern state, with hundreds of thousands of Negroes in her confines, it is gratifying that we have at last made the right step to permanently and positively develop their race and better their condition by providing them with the industrial training for their youth.

The superintendent is making things hum and each day the skies brighten. The good white people are standing by and watching all the readers of this article will sympathize with this great effort to improve the South. Financial help is what the concern needs, and for it we ask, that those who really sympathize with the Negroes and the African Americans contributions to the superintendent, Rev. J. E. Boyd, 1607 Jackson street, Dallas, Tex., to help this most worthy cause, be enabled to open the institution this fall. These promoters are famed for their integrity and business successes, and they are the only one that is all that is needed. Give it to them. ST. LOUIS, MO. Church, Society and General News Notes.

His monologue is neat, funny and he made a hit with his clever singing; contrary to the custom he did not and smoote to make good. We need more motivation.

A musical recital, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Music, Music Hall, Tuesday evening, June 17, by the Williams Jubilee company, of Chicago.

The ten-day campaign of fourteen teams to raise $15,000 by subscription from the local community, Y. M. C. A., building, broke all records of similar campaigns. They raised $27,000.

Owsley, Proprietor. A good bill at the Crown Garden Theatre has been shown in that house. Wizard Tim hit it right in his selection, and good news is as a consequence throughout the week. Brown and Harris—Those Interesting Entertainers Bessie Brown is well known to theater goers of this city for her capable acting. She is an actress all that the theater successful performer as well as a planist of ability. She was leader of the orchestra, the Metropolitan Theater, Memphis, Tenn., before she joined hands with Miss Brown. The team has worked out a happy co-operative relationship and spends making for what they claim to interact with entertainers. They open with a mamy and pick stunt, the pick turn in a swell number where he who is in me after throughout the act. The introduction is brief and spice leading up to a swell number where he who is in me after throughout the act. She is in strict evening male attire, a most handsome appearing "yours" enough to conclude that the lobster would at some time get the peaches in sentiment; well done. It fetches the audience. Miss Brown does two good turns at the singing, she is the way "My Man," Miss Mississippi, Min., shows what she is as a pianist, also as one who can't put a humorous song over as it should be. Both songs were well Their finish is a splendid prancing business, and rightly called France. They are dancers and stage players, turns and rompes that are about as pretty as dances and stage playing get better. But the performers have fine work. Both the performers have good costumes. They are of fine stage appearance. Miss Brown also sings Ada, which is as classy as the rest of the show. Thomas Milton, Tramp Novelty Music Man The Hottentot Girls. The Hottentot girls is a bunch of entertainers who give an interesting show. Among them is Leona Marshall, of Chicago.

They are the most high-class music artists on the American stage, and they are known for their skill and sing with harmony and sweetness. The team was given a royal reception on Monday at the Hersand Berg sang "La Paloma" and received several encores. They played a number of selections from operas, among them sextette "The Mourning." Among the populace, was "Some Boy." The act made a hit. Tabor and Green, the other colored act, made a splendid impression. Tabor well known as a singer and Green did well as a man and was amusing with his clean jokes. "The Assassins of Sorrow" is a splendid amusement for a house. The gallant heavily. A number one act. The Four Cook Sisters entertained with quartette chess offered in the shadow work and the closing number was the Great Harrah and company in artistic roller skating. Prof. Peyton and his wife with the pictures, the show was well worth seeing. WASHINGTON, D. C. THEATERS. S. H. Dudley Theater. Blanche Thompson, late star of S. H.

Notes. NEW YORK NEWS. Lincoln Theater J. W. Jeffries opened this bill. The Helen Miles act came in time and showed their appreciation or its presence by applauding him. Meres and Lambert went nicely. Meres and Lambert made a nice little singer, and got by nicely. Meres brought forth a new act and went nicely. John Fielding in songs was fair, John Hester in another act went nicely. Joe Johnson in his comedy went well. As a dancer he is hard to beat and is a favorite in Harlem. Perry and Perry, another nice act, went big. big This week Tim and Hester are seen in stock, and are making a hit. Lafayette Theater. Theodore went very well here. The Trio was great, the Phillips and Phillips, one playing the piano and the other the violin, were coupled on the bill. They did better than a great many so-called real acts. Moss and Tye were one big scream at the all-girl concert. Collins, the champion roller skater, was another big scream. He did some tricks that beautifully impromptu. He was without a doubt a wonder. Moran's Duo was just fair, their many in a barber shop act should have been closed at the rehearsal. It was the worst act ever seen in any theater. Why the man- agement should remain after the act is a mystery. The Malcomons Jugglers followed this act in good spirits, so that audience in good spirits again, so that they might be appreciated. But as their work was great—a novelty, well dressed, their clothing, their clothing, their closing trick left the audience roaring. You see what, effect a bad act can have on the good ones that Brownie and his Happy Girls made the audience take interest, also. This is some act. Their costumes are beautiful, and their movements are graceful in their movements, which added to the success of the act. Mr. Brown, the star of the act, is one clever fellow in his hair, and his song, "The Keep Smiling," was the title. The act from start to the finish was good. Crescent Theater Business at this house continues about the same. The band and Dumont, singers and crayon artists, wer a nice act. Santon, and McKissick, eccentric act, secrept act.

Bissett and Evelin scored well here. Shettell and Mitchell went well. Fritz and Klaus were there.

LOUISVILLE (KY.) THEATERS. Ruby Has Stellar Bill. The Ruby in its third successful week has an exceptionally strong bill, which songs like "Oh patrons," Billy Butler's feature "Oh patrons," and Billy Asly alone can feature it, which within itself is a show. Means and Means, an iron-jawed pair, open the bill with a gleaming, metallic This act is out of the ordinary and goes big. Susie Cook, second on the bill, could well be named "Blood" The Back of the Cave near baritone voice, without a tinge of suggestiveness. Ethelyn and Luke, a fashion plate on the bill, and their every appearance is a riot. They undoubtedly outrank all acts of their kind seen in these parts. Great stuff. The management services stuff. The efforts to give Louisville the very best. M. D. Dudley, owner; Robt. Slater, manager; E. B. Dudley, director of orchestra. Olio Theater. It seems as though the Ohio is going to hold her own as she is having record breaking crowds every night and Manatee is getting a feature about Hogan and Dudley's show houses that is surprising to the public, they are running advertisements for the show, and both are having crowded houses. Mr. Hogan in the main deserts great credible success, he shows Louville's his host is a beauty and comfort to his many patrons. He books strictly independent and seems to get the price of good care. The bill Hogan is a scream of the Great Coxs featuring little baby Gertrude the three-year-old wonder, who sings the house of the Volunteer and the full of gin. The bill is a knockout. Wilson Crosby Dug and Zacharie have a clever act; both are ready to start in the Theatre and start to finish, the pretty boy and the dude the last but not the least.

The colored theater in Kansas City now seems to have a look of prosperity and a sense of community. It closes observation of the Criterion theater, which has been the best example yet offered by the measurement enterprise. Homer B. Roberts, its originator, backed up by our own race pride promoter, Lacey L. Smith, its owner. This theater has loomed up as a real credit to the colored people of Kansas City, and the general public does not fail to show interest. Since January 15, the Brooks-Smith Players have been the attraction. The players have been the best seen here. Mr. Brooks, the producer, informs me that they have to upstage the lead characters in tabloids and his partner, Speedy Smith, taking the principal comedy in all of them, and his leading character actor and dramatist, Jason Leigh, lead character parts. Aside from this he says that Messrs. Smith and Bright have been wonderful help in the producing of this show. Miss Theresa Burroughs, the leading lady an deo-star with Mr. Smith, has sang songs in almost every part of the company. The same can be said of Miss Albera Williams, sothebite and character artist of the company, and in spite of the fact that she does not seem to get enough of them. One thing greatly in favor of Marion Brooks is that her management has spared no pain in giving him ample support with such clever people as Mr. Archie Jones, who has made Gaston, the Mr. Galton, Gaston, straight and character parts; both of whom make good impressions wherever placed; the Brown Sisters, Maybelle and Rabie; and the Mr. Smith girls, as in vaudeville. Several clever girls are in the company in the persons of Misses Ford, etc., and in the company as a dancer of historic and pantomime classics. The Brooks-Smith players have been greatly strengthened by the joining Miss Amy Hoppe of the company of Doe Doe and Miss Amy Hoppe. Doe Doe is a clever, droll comedian, and his work with Speedy Smith in the leading comedy series has earned him a number of friends. Miss Amin Holt is the emotional artist of the company. Aside from this work she is good in musical comedies, and has a good voice and is a good dancer. Marion Brooks is a talented tablolabs presented with doe Bright, Marion Brooks and Miss Holt. These tablolabs are positively the best I ever saw. One thing to say before closing, with all due respect to all comedians, dainty soubrettes and character artists who have appeared in Kansas City and in other cities here in the person of Speedy Smith, Theresa Burroughs and Joe Bright, and I am free to say the same for you, as an artistic actress. This week they are appearing in festival of "Across the Border Lane." WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUD LEX CIRCUIT Week of June 16. Washington, D. C.—D. H. Dudley Theater, Low Henry, manager: R. M.

Special to The Freeman CHICAGO, Ill., June 12.—The most casual observer in the United States could not escape noticing the marked difference in the numbers of the white race are showing toward the members of the black race in the city, while the white race is rassling and injurious, it is neverless not without some good. Perhaps the sphere in which the Negro feels this difference which undertake to afford amusement and entertainment for the leisure hours of the white race is operating up the benefit of the race in opening up business opportunities for the black race in the organization of companies to build and establish playhouses and moving picture shows for the education and entertainment of the colored people and the pub Demand for Race Pride. Many of the far-sighted of our race are seeing these business opportunities and playhouses are sprouting all over Soutland for the future investment of the city. We are demanding for Negro playhouses to satisfy the spirit of increasing race pride and race solidarity is a demand for play houses. We are demanding a stage art of entertaining the pleasure-seeking public. This, of course, means young people will have permanent and increasing employment in these public pleasure resorts, but that a demand is not a requirement for artists who will exhibit to the playgoing public some of the higher forms of Negro thought and life. Opportunity for Writers and Actors. The benefits growing out of this new situation is the striking opportunity for Negro writers of talent to present Negro types, acts of comedy and amusement, of quality and sketches filled with the finest exhibitions of Negro life and charis Miller, Lyles and Marshall.

C.'s Freely Score, 12 (By Billy Lewis.) If the week-day audiences at the Northwestern baseball park, Indianapolis, keep up their hit it will not be long before this season, a gift can dozen where baseball by colored will pay. Last week's games between the All Stars Cuban Giants and the A. B. C's, especially the splendid crowds, will allow us to splendid crowds, personnel, the make-up of the attendance, was of a kind to bank on. Men of all professions were seen bent and there, and playing, your vertic bleacher. This array very well for the future prospects of ages and playing, it makes a good livelihood for many persons. About the A. B. C's park are gate keepers, ticket sellers, ticket takers, refreshment burchers, vendors of a kind, it is an 'industry' worth while. Since the race is in for a good time, the thing might be that the democratic, this manner, can be passed to throw up to those who help to furnish the fun. Indianapolis is in a good way along this line, and St. Louis also. Other cities it seems, are somewhat backward; they are the missing piece of what is known as the same baseball incumency manifested in Louisville, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, the same population, as in Indianapolis, would make for the condition that has been dreamed of so long by managers and We are O. K. in this town by way of baseball. Rube Foster's team helped very much to add games and games have always been well attended. The Chicago Giants came when the weather was yet unsettled; it was cold and blustery, consequently, the team was fortunate. The B. C.'s man showed it that it could bring such attractions. Since that time games through the week by first-class clubs have been The All Star Cuban Giants is one of the crack teams of the country. The manager says that it now needs for dates to meet and to cross sashes with the islanders whenever they have the opportunity. They have met the greatest and most successful and winning equally. The manager says that there are man ycuban players eager to join the team. They are winning. This year he has two players who were soldiers in the Spanish-American war. All of the team speak Spanish. The team speaks fair English. He writes it in a fine style. As a whole the members of the team have already spoken in a Persian garden. They are thoroughly foreigners, which means here, that they have the foreigners of Cuba. The American aggressive spirit appears. In any other game that baseball the American Negro follows would have toyed. They have none and none can beat them knowing it. But it is not reasonable to think they know a great deal. The state or reason that the little island of Cuba does not afford the same means of knowing things in Cuba. In fact, no other country is so generally forward as the United States of America. And the Nees are "no dead beads in the entries." --- apushi A, B, C's slugged fairly, as hard and often, but they did not seem to have direction. That they hit, taking a chance on what the bat would heave forth. They shot up such beautiful files, way up, the black Spanish letters they eat 'em up. There were times when Hidalgo, that splendid center field, had only one, old, black files to order while he waited. Marrinate, out in the left field, the rump field. Everybody had something to do. The short stop and third baseman were as busy as a crankberry merchants. The pitchers and catcher were day. The slugging was leading feature. Alen, the captain, sometimes called Kaplan, came from "extinction." He knocked a home run which was followed by another one by Benny, the began to run away from the force in the lake or get nothing—everything or nothing. The fact of the business was the Cubans were keeping the posts at the portals of walled cities in time of war—absolutely no passing. In other words—nothing doing on them. I tilt three tiring, Moran drew out one of the hats made in his own land; it resembled a bludgeon an instrument of war, which might have been used by the $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous delibility, lack of vigor, weakened hand for fear, back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worm and nervous men of their own homes—without any additional help medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and easily, should have a copy. So I have a prescription free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who write me for it. I have come from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of deficient anathema and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to say that he a copy in confidence, so that anyone anywhere who is weak and discouraged dragging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the setting, restorative, upbuilding, SPOTT-ing, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: "B Robinson, $331 Building, Detroit, Detroit, copy of this splendid receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A many doctors would charge $3.00 to for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free." originals of the island. Umpire Puryear vetoed the use of the maul-lookup affair. The Cubans locked to the scene of disarray, and the attack actually laughed a bit—the first laughing seen since they had been in Indianapolis. The instrument of "fortune" was apocalyptic. It was a lamentation. Then in a spirit of bravado, Moran flung aside his trusty "Toledo" as a true knight of ancient days and met the enemy in a lion's lection. It was noticed, however, that now and then the ordinance was run in and with deadly execution. They were killed. The Cubans brought it around in a gentle manner; smacking the ball to where they wished to put it, just as easy. The A. B. C.'s went to the enemy, looked at it askance, as if the "darning ain't right." Bera was in the box for the Cubans in the seventh. He put 'em over as if shot out of a gun. The A. B. C.'s went to him just the same. In fact the stunging ceased by the gun. The Cubans looked at foot by foot as a grounded as ever peeled from a bat. He could neither go or stay. If struck a little low, hitting the low part of the gun, the Cubans might have had his leg cracked. The Cubans rushed to him, also some of the A. B. C. s.'s. They worked with him a bit more, and on just the same, no better, no worries. In the ninth the Cubans gave something o fa fancy exhibition. They took all kinds of chances, rushing in home while the leaders were delivering. The Cubans up for the first time. They could afford it. In a series of ten games the A. B.

Athletes From the Sunny Land Coming to Front—Many Good Ones. Recently I called the attention of the fight fans to the rapid progress of the game, and made an inside flatastic arena. Now I wish to call attention to the progresse the Italians are making in their major art of self-defense, both inside and in the field. The old game of hit, stop and get away seems to be the most popular sport in the world. A friend writes me from Rome—the scene of many boxing combats some 2,000 years ago, and the fascination for the idea of pulling off championship contests for the edification of the modern young Romans who have become very much interested in the sport. Like the French, the Italianes are of the Latin race, the Italianes tell us they nature. We have read in our school days how the gallant Roman gladiators fought terribly against the enemy without much consideration of big rewards or gate money. It was in these glittering days that the Roman empire defeated the enemy by force of fierce conquests. It was the great gameness and wonderful fighting spirit of the Latin race in the battle of dictators civilization thousands of years ago. They invaded England, Greece and other nations, and then used their fighting ability and today the Italian fighters are to come in the front in large numbers, especially in the spirit of their forest. History often repeats itself, and I would not be surprised to see the young Roman gladiators repeat the splendid battles of Mixes With Art. It was the grand fighting spirit that made ancient Rome not only the center and capital of the world, but also the literature and science. Wherever you find great progress and civilization you'll also find skilled fighters, far advanced in the many art of self- Today in America the Italian and Italian-American are fast advancing in the science of football, and the ranks of fistiana in hundreds. Let me mention just a few names: Jodie Coster, Joe Grim, Johnny Dundee, joey Mayo, Michael Porter, Al Palzer in Philadelphia; Hugh Kelly, Tony Caponi, Patsy Kline, Frank Picato, Frank Robinson, Johnny Jimmy, Jimmy Battling Kidd, Brooklyn Jack Smith, Tony Moran, Casper Leon and Chuck Tucker. There are many, but they don't remember at present. But these fighting Italian boys are coming fast, and that now they are going to open, and they will secure the old Coliseum, that has the scene of many contests between ye ancient gladiators, and that secure the old bit for a model contest between fistianics. Some day, in years, the league this great team will build a grand coliseum, that of old Rome, where 50,000 fans can witness a grand championship contest between two of the greatest With the English, Irish, Australian, French and Italian athletes for the fistic sport, they should see some gymnastics produced with these ten years. They have already started boxing in many Russian cities, and it won't be long before, in line with the recent in this coin of German-American blood, include Wolgast, Knockout Brown, Harper, Jack Redmond, Mantell, Harry Brewer, Brown, Frank Klaus, Leo Panke, Sammy Trott, Bob Moha, Billy Panke, A Kubikai and Al Kaufman.

Mr. Walker, of the Church of England, for fifteen minutes and the time on his face as our watches showed the time to be exactly 13 o'clock. Of us in his corner, thought it spelled our certain good luck. Not one of us thought anything but the result from so many lucky thirteens' being associated with the bout. "Dame Notre Dame not only believed that brave disaster over our heads, resulting in brave Luther going to his death and shattering the lives of our friends, but associated with him in his great successes. "Needless to say, I have forever passed up my faith in the charm of the number of PRESENT FIGHTERS INFERIOR. Naughton Contends They Think More of the Money Than Did Performers of Years Ago—McCarty and Ritchie Cited as Instances. (Bv W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO—The writer has argued frequently that the most important part of the authors' past and the present are vain for the reason that there is no way of bringing the matter to a conclusion that there is one conclusion in which comparisons can be instituted and that to the detriment of the latter, the quality of "fighting blood" seems to have deteriorated. Nowadays a champion was known by his square jaw. Nowadays one is quickly recognized by his high forehead. Years ago the brasse was coined. Nowadays the favorite declaration is "Til fight him if I get a fortune." Nowadays the favorite pluck has become a lost quality, but it certainly has become tempered by b-mechanical until it may be described as a "fairy tale." If the old days a rising young fighter left to himself was tired with one ambition—to make clear that he was the best of his heft in the wide, wide world, to be a champion to himself, but unfortunately he ceases to be a free agent just as soon as he has accomplished enough to command a vau Willie Ritchie is another so-called world's champion who has been ill-advised. By the time he appears in his book he will be up to his shoulder to ask—as the Irish owner asked his jockey after the race—"what key" yet? But, in information, he will be ready to box on July Fourth and the writer feels like making the encouraging remark—better later than never. Reporting writers who as a rule are conservative about their utterances do not believe even now that Ritchie has an interest in the sport. He says he will evade the issue by naming a prize for his services that no promoter will feel warranted in giving. He will here be a genuine middle-weight championship contest. A year ago the country was rining in well-wearable weights but he seems to have qualified for censure like the rest of them. It must dawn on him presently that each bout he figures in with welters, weightlifters and others. He are merely backward steps. He too, is listed with those who steadfastly refuse to accept long distance engagements out in the open where champions will be made. The influence of prevaling conditions in pallidism is seen in the case of Bob McAllister, a weight champion of the Pacific coast. Bob became a professional a few months ago and it was predicted that he would cut a swath among the McGourty family. But Bob resolutely refuses to be coaxed away from the four-round phase of stifcushes. He has had chances to sign for twenty-one good men and he has turned them down. His friends prophesied that Bob would become world's champion in his class. It seems to be the extent of his ambition to be known as a Friday night star. RULES ARE OFTEN NOT WELL KNOWN. This Angle of Baseball is Often Neglected by Major League Players. Major league ball players study every angle of the game but one—the best game in the world the one neglected thing is that which is first learned in almost every other sport. We do not recollect of having that compelled its players to have a ever heard of a club in the major leagues known for its highly improbable that one player in the high circle of baseball is thoroughly acquainted with the rules. Many upsets have rules by ignorance, but some have rules. Not a season goes by but some important turn in a team's race is featured by ignorance of the game on the part of one or more players. Merkle's Play Recalled. Turn to the history of the season of 2014, when the Giants lost the National league pennant because a number of members—and one Fred Merkle, in particular—were not accustomed to the uncommon rules of the game. The fact that a member of the Cubs knew the rule of which the Giants were ignorant of the National League's Chance team the National league flag, Johnny Evers gained everlasting fame because he won a pennant simply because he was the most advantage of that knowledge. Fred Merkle became a persecuted victim of ignorance of playing rules, but the fact that a major league pennant was decided by knowledge of the rules would serve as sufficient reason why every major league team would be becoming fully acquainted with them. But the Merkle incident, although remembered and often referred to at this day, failed the season. There is as much ignorance as ever. Stanage Pulls a Blunder. In the last game the Tigers played at Montgomery, Ala., on their exhibition trip, there was a remarkable misplay. It was Oscar Stanage, a player who is conceded to be the brainiest backstop in the American league. Although Stanage committed the first goal of the game, the playing field aware of it; at least no one called the catcher's attention to the mistake, nor did any one try to prevent it. The play happened in Montgomery's half of the first inning. One man was out and a runner on first. Two strikes had been called by the defense. Troy, served a low curve ball. The ball struck the ground in back of the plate and bounded through Stanage's legs. The batter, however, swung and missed the ball. Now, Section 6 of Rule 51 reads: "A batsman is out if while first base is occupied, the third strike is called on him by the umpire, unless two men are already out." Maade a Poor Throw.

One-Time Wealthy Owner of St. Louis Browns Dies in Comparative ST. LOUIS, Mo—Chris Von der Abe, owner of the old St. Louis champion ball team of 1885-88 and years ago one of the greatest baseball magnates in the country, died at a home in St. Louis. Von der Abe had been seriously ill for two months. Death was caused by her illness. He was 61 years old, was born in Germany and came to this country in 1870. The eccentric German sprang into fame when he bought a majority of the stock in the St. Louis team for $1,800. In the following years he made $500,000 off the investment. When he retired from the association, Von der Abe's Browns became the famous four-time pennant winners of 1885-67 and 8. His luck lasted for eight years. In 1891 he finished second in the American association. In 1892 he entered the twelve-club National league, but his teams were not successful until 1899, when Sportsman Park and Club were sold to satisfy the demands of the last few years have been lean ones for the once wealthy baseball magnate. A little saloon he maintained hardly brought in enough to keep him. Old-time baseball players were a big part of his life. WIN IN A WALK.

On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock at the Second Christian church there took place a wedding event of the social season. Mrs James Wilson began singing the appropriate "Here Comes the Fune" to Lohengrin the ding march. Mr James signaled for the four ushers, in conventional black, wallace Wauch and John Mukes to enter from the vestibule at the church. The ushers were followed by the bride and her gown who wore a beautiful gown of blue silks with an over slip of blue crepe with lace and silver trimming and carrying bridesmaid Miss Hazel Stewart (sister of the bride) was next in the process. Bridesmaid Miss Hazel voiled and she also carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Then came the bride, Miss Carolyn Stewart, on the arm of the bride. Mrs James also white silk with an overslip of crepe metor and her bouquet was if illly of the valley and man. J. Willingham and the best man, Mr Charles Berry, of Youngstown, Ohio, met the procession at the altar and performed the ceremony. There was a reception held in honor of the couple at the wedding, from 8:30 to 11. The bride receivers were Misses Harriet Kelley, Nora Roberts and Carole Middleton, the bride and groom left for Chicago, Ill., Madison, Wis., Detroit, Mich., and of course guests were Miss Geraldine Johnson, of New Castle, Pa.
