It is not known who are pushing for any of the heads of the race. The exposition will run the exposition work from July on. Exposition Bill Passed by Legislature. Through the untimely energy of the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swain, aided by a number well-placed people, a bill was arranged, Assembly, known as House Bill 65. tered and farreasted in the House in its infancy by the Hon. Mr. Lloyd of the Third District of Virginia, was to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of his gro's emancipation from slavery in this country. The bill has finally passed both the House and Senate and is waiting now for the Governor's signature. Too much credit it cannot be given to Representative K. Lloyd, who has been the governor but be truthful said the bill would have passed. The object of this fitting piece of legislation is to bring officially to the attention of the public in Illinois the rapid and marvelous advancement made by the Neeson of this county to the abandonment of slavery. The movement is of extreme importance at this time, especially so because of the fact that it is essential for the Neeson in America to provide for the abolition of material advantages along the lines of race development in order that those with whom he must constantly live can the opportunity to achieve his hopes, his ideals and his aspirations. Representative Lloyd made an unusually ill-timed bill to the sons of the bill should pass. Representative Jackson made an able and exhaustive argument in defense of the measure, an ill-timed bill to the Senator Hoeffner of an ex-Confraternate soldier, made an able argument in defense of the passage of the bill. It is no wonder that the Senator Hoeffner is serving of more credit for the final success of this movement than Mr. Swann. It was a creature of his mind and no one labored harder than he to bring about its success.

Beginning with July 1, 1913, and ending July 31, 1913, The Freeman will be reduced to $1.00 the year. But remember this rate is to last only throughout the month of July, after which it will resume the regular rate of $1.50 the year. Remember that recently The Freeman became a seven-column paper, thus extending its large amount of news matter and making it double fold the value to you that it has been heretofore. Don't forget that you have only THE MONTH OF JULY IN WHICH TO SECURE IT AT $1.00 A YEAR. So order it at once. The Freeman will be sent to any address during the month of July for $1.00.

The publisher of The Indianapolis Freeman, while in Chicago on business last week, succeeded in securing a large ad. from the Frank L. Gale Plano Company, and took stock in the same. After a careful investigation he found this company doing a nice, clean, legitimate business, duly incorporated and well managed. We refer you to their ad. on page 4 of this paper. The colored people of Pennsylvania are mighty good or mighty bad, one or the other. The legislature some time ago appropriated $20,000 to be used in promoting their forthcoming fiftieth anniversary of freedom. It was taught that the money was being recklessly spent. It turned out that the business was O. K., if we are to judge by a subsequent happening. The legislature last week appropriated an additional $75,000. But at that the Negro Pennsylvaniaians are hot enough because the Governor refused to sign the bill authorizing a Negro regiment notwithstanding it was passed unanimously. Such inconsistency! Oh, well, maybe they asked for something that was not good for them when they asked for the regiment. Next week the classic field of Gettysburg will teem with those erstwhile combatants in part, who, fifty years ago, flew at their respective throats—the blue and the gray. The great question has been settled, and settled right, if we are to judge by the blessings which have come to either section, to all, since human slavery is no more. We, the face of Negroes, although viewed too much apart from the general nation, also have cause to rejoice at the nation's wholeness, evidenced through these reunions, when gray merges with the blue. In fact, we are the beneficiaries of their "ancest" quarrel—its fruit—consequently, Gettysburg, or what not, that signifies sectional obliteration, in the sense of strife, is hailed with a gratification in kind to that which will be attested when these representatives of former hostility will sing together and shout for joy like the morning stars. Meredith Nicholson, the well-known Indiana novelist, has declined the $10,000 post as minister to Portugal, offered him by President Wilson. He urges that he owes it to his children to educate them in this country of the best opportunity. The literary folk we dare say, are somewhat disappointed over Mr. Nicholson's attitude. Some rich things were expected of him along his line. Ben Wallace gave us that rare production. "Ben Hur," when minister at Constantnople Washington Irving was serving his country in Spain when he wrote some of his splendid works, "The Alhambra," "Bobbell el Chico," "The Life of Columbus and His Followers." Even that grandloquent, yet pacific, Naaniel Hawthorne served the government while he wrote some of his matchless books. Perhaps old Lisbon town, of the "One Hoss Shay" fame by Oliver Wendell Holmes, was not such an inviting field, in spite of the $10,000 attachment. REV. DR. JAMES M. TOWNSEND DEAD. On Wednesday of last week a distingished churchman, the Rev. Dr. James M. Townsend, passed away at his home in Richmond, Ind. Dr. Townsend will be remembered by his splendid services to his church, of the African Methodist Episcopal persuasion. He came along in a rather early day, viewing the abolition of slavery as the period of Negro activity. He not only came along early; he had the good fortune to be prepared in all respects for the cause for which he was a part. He was early day for educated men, he stood like Saul, head and shoulders above his fellow-workers, as a rule. He entered his career an educated man; he was fluent of speech, of graceful manners. His grace was a part of his being, adding to him, not as an artificial something, but nature's adornment; he agreed with his manners. Dr. Townsend was of fine physical appearance, magnetic—all persuasive—influencing. His private life was free of the ruums of scandals. His public services had been notable and honorable. He had been a legislator, a soldier and a civilian of high repute. in the church his services were varied and conspicuous, owing to which he was often referred to as the darling of the church, a title which suited him if it suited any man. He was modest enough as the world might see it, yet he had his ambitions. He was quietly proud of all of what he was; it showed through in spite of his effort at suppression. The struggle was in his favor, since humility is admired but by the few. He saw his own knowledge of himself, his worth, confirmed in the good opinions of those with whom he labored. He had all the virtues except one—patience. Dr. Townsend wished to be a bishop in his church. Many wished to see him elevated to that cherished ideal of a churchman's utmost. The reputation of the man had encompassed the great A. M. E. Church. He knew that the church needed his class of men. The bench was not at that time an educated bench. The contemporary candidates for the episcopacy at that time were not educated in the sense he was, excepting, perhaps. Arnett, Grant and Gaines were practically self-made men; they were not scholastic men. Townsend had been missionary secretary of his church, the work taking him abroad. Perhaps no man of his day could have done so well. At the time of the great conference, 1888, he was holding one of the best churches in the connection. His influence brought him the conference, which was at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Indianapolis, Ind. There was but one unfulfilled thought, as we think it. He thought to bring the conference; it came. He thought the conference would bring him the bishopic; it did not, and thereby hangs a tale. He was a young man. He was asked to wait. But his heart was set on the thing. The defeat stunned him. Perhaps no candidate for that office, or a similar one, in the history of the world felt more sure that he, would wear the sacred habiliments of his church at their best. No candidate for that office or a similar one, in the history of the world, was so well equipped, so eligible, so accustomed to things done that count for most, and so accomplished, measured according his day and opportunity. No contention was denied him. What he claimed to advance his candidacy was granted. Youth was his only "crime." Dr. Townsend was but mortal; he could not stand the shock. At the opportunity he gave up the active ministry, entering the dazzling and dubious thing of politics. His church stood by him, and through its influence and that of Indiana politicians, he was given the position of Recorder of the General Land Office at Washington. Dr. Townsend's retirement had the effect of abandoning the church. He very soon felt the general impress to that effect. He regretted his step very much, since he was not in favor with the politicians, who felt that the job was too small for a man of his caliber, and that he had simply taken what he did not need. He repented his step; he resigned the position and made effort to make peace with his church. He re-entered the work, seemingly re-established at the break-off point. But he was mistaken. The General Conference again met, his candidacy biobishop was urged, but he was referred to sometimes as an apostate. The "shin" of leaving the church for a less thing well suited the purposes of men who, in their anxiety to succeed, or to have their friends succeed, did not spare so good a man as he was. The conferences came and went, and Townsend, like the sick at the pool of Bethesda, awaiting the troubling of the waters, was ever present. He was met with the same spirit of reproach until the lining of his clouds were neither gold nor silver—the sun refused to shine for him in the single instance. He was nevertheless not without great sympathy. He was given good charges even when his enfeebled body and soul could not longer cope with the vigorous and capable men that yearly entered into the ministry. Rev. Dr. Townsend passed to his death with the one great grief which hovered over all that was mortal of his passion which was hope in earlier days, buying him up to gorious accomplishment, now stood like Poe's. Raven—to amuse him, through all it he kept the faith as he saw it, as his church saw it, ending as he begun, a good, godly man, who did not cause his cause to blush in shame. JACK JOHNSON GETS AN APPEAL An appeal from the verdict which sentenced him to a year in prison for violation of the Mann White Slave Act was granted Jack Johnson this week, in the United States District Court at Chicago. Jack Johnson has a good chance to escape prison if he is given anything like a show. Prejudice entered the case, a thing which could not have been helped. No one person, or set of persons, is responsible. Discrimination has become so general that it is fairly recognized in our civic life. But at that, much can be done that will hold the thing down to civic decency. Jack Johnson has been stronely opposed because he violated sentiment. He did it persistently and in as offensive a way as it was possible to do so. Yet sentiment is not law. So when he came to the court for trial, if he must be punished, there should have been the spirit of compromise. A sort of equity was due him. The court had him at its mercy; it should have been merciful, standing between him and too bitter punishment, conceding him something as well as conceding the prejudiced public something. The public, that portion opposing Johnson, only wished to see him reprimanded in some way—perhaps wished to see him reduced financially, as mean as it is, it has not claimed him the imprisonment. And if it happens that he is imprisoned on an ancient and fimmy charge, it will never be forgiven. There are lookers-on "in Vienna" who will be somewhat distrusted to know that the government can take on the qualities of an individual, punishing according to the mood it is in, having passions, as it were. All will be served fairly well under the circumstances if the prison sentence is cut out. If not, Johnson and the Negroes will have been poorly dealt with, since Johnson is not the total anmus of the prosecution. The Capital is showing classy pictures and comedy.

June 19 has passed into memorable history in Dallas as being the fair day at Gatton Baseball Park. The day was filled with games and a tournament tended enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. Many good things to eat were in evidence. The ball game between the Houston Texans and the Fort Worth was a great attraction and added much to the pleasure of the large crowd, Dallas coming out to play. Each player was best in the many games and good ball games. Both teams showed class, with some as favorites, as follows, Brown, Johnson, Jacob Henson, Johnson Big Hands, M. Schoenfeld, and James Cox, class, who were cheered to the highest. The Texas teams are playing good ball, with Henry Wesley as umpire. Some of the players were in action, and the umpire when he insists that the players play right and fast, and make no delays in changing sides, all of which were filled at the game with the best of our citizenship. The day was a complete success in every way. June weddings are claiming the attention of our city at present. Messrs. George W. Curtis, Fred Price and S. D.

It is amazing how the masses can get rid of their money on special days, such as war, because the market of the world would soon run to the wall if the colored people had control of it, as they can spend it faster than any other class of people in the world. The people would apply their loose change to bettering the condition and improving the winds.

Editor The Freeman Edith Creaman HILLCAMP, June 25 — Young, "CY Young," who seems to be one of the most popular pitchers that come to the American Giants at Baseball Park, took a team from Chicago to battle against the great American Giants. Young is tall andanky and throws "meat" underhand with art or skill enough to win. A very large crowd witnessed the game. All the boxes were taken and every seat in the grandstand and bleachers was occupied. "Rube" sat on the bench and commanded his men. Gatewood was at the gate, the coach and pitcher pitching a shut-out game, allowing the white boys to bring in only one score.

Still on the job with Johnson and Rector Stock Company, Austin McQueen, who is holding down the comedy at the theater in Dallas, Texas. Manager Reason Williams of the Star is bringing back the crowds and pleasing the patrons. Mr. Doc Straine, the producer, has a grievance that seems reasonable to all thinking performers on the stage. You should read it. Will it pay performers to boost themselves and then not be able to deliver the goods? They are persons in Dallas and on the stage with the swellhead so bad that an airing will do them good, because they come back. The good, classy performer is ever in demand and the bus all the time. The boozers are found rushing the can. Dallas is overstocked. Who wants any of them? These columns are for the profession. If the members of it wish to use them properly, they must them overtime, they are at their service. S. H. DUDLEY ENTERTAINED.

Langford and McVey Unreasonable—Put McIntosh Out of Commission—in Debt and Virtually Prisoners. ford was too tough a game to tackle, and he passed the little fellow up. "A match between Langford and Johnson would have drawn no end of money in Australia. The Australians are great sportsmen and they patronize boxing fit equally. A good man can make it." (By Billy Lewis.) Some time ago I ventured the assertion that the big Negro fighters, Sam Langford and Sam Mayer, were Australia's Indian McClellan was in this city, Indiana, he let fall some expressions as to peculiar laws applying to persons entering what he had to say as to give a clear idea of the system which so readily reads a fellow into trouble if he isn't very, very smart. It stands to reason that McVey would be in France, and Langford in America, and McClellan in Australia, McIntosh, the well-known sport promoter whose name became rather prominent in the sporting world because he sight at Reno, is again in this country, he shared the recent bouts in Australia, and he shared the recent bouts in Australia, which him more fame than shekels. He insists that he is nearly all down and out coming to Sam Francisco to indulge in the theatrical business, so that he will not go financially dead. He insists that he possesses demands, saying: "The black men—Langford, McVey and Johnson—drove me out of business. You see, they are not business, and they have an idea that money flows in Australia like water in America. They play a peculiar system, the black boys. They always wait until they milk they have a promoter in the hole, and then they come along with outfits and forms for a seventh hour. McVey is one of the best in this case. McVey is one of the all bad. It's nothing at all for one of these black fellows to make a demand for $2,000 to $3,000 a few days before the match, and that, too, they have signed to fight for a certain amount. "Langford is a regular baby when it comes to financial matters. One day this girl came to McVey and borrowed $1,500 off me. Before the night was over he was around, for instance, enough. I thought give him all the money he wanted, and we had a falling out. McIntosh admitted that he still has Langford and Joe Woodman tied up in a lawsuit in Australia, and this, he says, is one of the reasons that Langford has the McIntosh declares that he would not keep Langford in the Antipodes a moment if he could get a settlement out of him. The former Australian boxing promoter is the most natural-born spendthrift he has ever met. "That man does not know the value of money," declared McIntosh. He took over the money lender in Australia, and he must settle before he can leave the country. I took over some of his debts and am interested in a Woodman is a fiend for the horse-racing game. He played the races like a millionaire, and though he took vast amounts of money, he put it all back in the racing sport, and he borrowed money to play the races, he is flat broke now." It may be that the wary McIntosh is paying the way for a fight between the big Negro fighters. While the interest would be greatly reduced to that of René yet a match between Jack Johnson is the best of the great fighters, would be a great card. Men are anxious to know who is the best heavyweight and not who Of course, Langford has a chance to put it on Johnson, but nobody much could help. He is not distinguished by his prison sentence, more than likely he will be found battling for the maintenance of his hold on the world. He will not be particularly so, he will not be particular about the method of building up his fortunes. Speaking of Langford, McIntosh said, "He is far and away the best heavyweight in the world now. I have tried time and again to get Jack Johnson to meet Langford, and I sign for a meeting with the little black fellow from Boston. I have met Johnson near the point of a match with Langford, he would stall me off with some excuse. Finally I made things so hot for John- $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

The Jewish race has been prominent in pugilism since the glove game came into existence during the regime of the famine, Sulivanah. Sulivanah three decades ago, yet a careful perusal of the dope of today shows that the race in the game now than at any time in the last thirty years, of the paucity of Jewish fighters one is confronted by a bunch of arguments, none of which satisfactorily answers the question. The most logical explanation is that the dope of a number of reasons, principally that a number of reasons, principally that the dope is unlawful in many countries of the country. But that explanation applies to all fighters of all races as well as to the Jewish fighters. What the Jewish fighters has contributed to boxing in the past has been a plenty. Where a few years ago Joe Chovsky a Jewish heavyweight in the game. It has been a rarity in the sport, but Chovsky was an exception, and his record shows that he possessed class akin that of the greatest fighters of his time. Undoubtedly the greatest Jewish fighter that ever donned the spangles was Yitzhak Rabin, a young man years Attel ruled the featherweight division, meeting and defeating the boys of all other nationalities—and that, too, was Yitzhak Rabin. He left as to his superiority. Attel not only trounced the fighters who could not match the same weight as himself, but he was also a great opponent. He was forced to go out of the featherweight class to find opponents in order to make boxing a profitable business. He was a great lightweights, and in these battles he was able to win, and that a remarkable fighter he really was. Attel still considers himself a member of the boxing fraternity, although he was not a member of the contender for championship honors. Attel was the eighth wonder of the world, for no greater performer ever graced Those who follow the sport closely concede the truth of all that can be said about the skill of the player. To credit a holder for years he finally succumbed to the prowess of Johnny Kilbane, the Cleveland boy who at present wears the jersey. To credit should be taken away from Kilbane for his triumph over Attel, but at the same time those who now wear the jersey will be taken away from Jew was "through" as a championship fighter nearly three years before the "big blow" that came deprived him as title holder. As showing what a really great fighter Attel was is necessary to explain the reason for his rising fame and the last couple of years that he held the title. Attel in that time never dodged a ball that sought battle, and, although he wore it for long ways, none of them was able to hit him mawley. One of his toughest opponents named Joe Coster of Brooklyn, Coster was a "hard nut" for any of them to crack at that time, and after ten rounds of hard milling the popular verdict beaten. One of the most remarkable fights that Herman ever engaged in was staged in another javelin fightier by the name of "Kid Abel. Abel at that time has been going great guns and indications pointed to another javelin fightier with Herman was staged as a contest for the championship of the Chicago Ghetto, and for a six round fight. It was a battle worth going along to set. When the final gong runs both boys into the damage that had been done in that short period was enough to stop any ordinary fighters. Herman left the fighters unharmed and was nursing a broken wrist, in addition to considerable other facial damage which both incurred. The Brothers round, while the wrist was fractured in the third session. Abel never really got beyond being a Chicagoround fighter, and proved in and out, never fighting consistently. Monte Attel, a youngster, brother of bey, made the same mistake ever got far. Monte did not possess the headwork that made his brother famous. Monte of Boston a few years ago was just about as tough a battler as ever entered a ring, but like Herman he was lacking in the class to make him When Harry Lewis, whose correct name is Harry Besterman, ought in fact to be the champion, that he had a great chance to become champion. Lewis was a knockout puncher of the first, and his record of good pitching outgrew the lightweight rank and now is milling with the middleweights across the big pond. He was also the "sister" he showed as a lightweight. There are only two Jewish fighters of the present time who possess class, and he is the only one who is lightweight, and Leach Cross, of New York. There are those who belong to Charlie Whitehall, who became become champion, and those of his race are milling for him, for if the Jewish race is to be kept in the front rank of pugilists, it must be formidable and to be reckoned with. CRUSADE STARTED AGAINST CLINCHING. France Will Not Tolerate Inflighting- Promoters Can Profit by Example. France has started a crusade against clinching and infighting. The sportsmen men's league is the best. The federation which controls boxing on the continent has proved that it is in earnest in disguising Belfast as a country of competition because it is claimed he purposefully fouled Frank Klaus in their recent bout in Paris. ler has been referred to in these columns as the former magcot of the Pittsburgh sible. The ticket sellers wicket keeper was French Start War. Mons. Vienne and Breyer, the two leading Paris promoters, say a war has started in the sporting papers against the French, who stand up and be xfairly is what is wanted. Two recent bouts occasioned ear disgust. In the Mantell-Jeff Sheffield match, twenty rounds but hold with one hand and lunge with the other. The Papke-Klaus contest was little more than a match in the part of Papke while it lapped. The French tribunal tributed $18,000 to see that contest, while the gate aggregated $23,000 in the Carpenter-Papke bout. The French price and they want the goods delivered. America Should Profit It should be the same in this country. Drastic measures could be adopted to cut out the incessant, justly just treatment of a referee nor fair to the patrons of a game, but the success of the game financially, to ask that official to disqualify contestants who persist in clinching. There is not a single game in which as the third man in the ring but wrist has the nerve to disqualify a clincher, to ask a question whether his act would meet the rules. Promoters Have Remedy Those who pay to see five six-round contests of boxing do not want to have to take a knockout. The remedy is in the hands of the matchmaker or club manager, who is trained and reputed to infight and chinchilla and who is ignore the very rudiments of scientific boxing as they are given to understand that the rough infighting and disgusting bouts eliminated from their work or they will be punished when learn to box fairly. The punishment meted out to Papke by the French sport in France, the sport in Philadelphia, motors should be the first in this country to make a hard and fast rule to stop them.

A lively and interesting game was played by the Dennison Cubs and the Canbys at the Northwestern park last Saturday. The Canbys are a trim bunch of white boys, among whom is some good material, for the future leagues. At times they play in fine style, losing simply by hard luck. The Dennison Cubs are a hardy looking set of colored players. Some of them do as good work as memoirs of the past, and are all in size, reminding one of bronchus as compared with horses. They play about the same game that the Canby's play, making it rather nip and tuck until the The batteries, Leach and Munday, for the Canby's, and Dunlap and Lawson for the Bakersfield. The pitchers delivered like professionals. They were too strong for the batters and as a consequence fouls flew thick over them. They were on the outside, and who were entitled to admission for bringing in the lost balls, was in early. The managers over-the-fence balls toward the latter part of the game. There were none runs. Only a few balls were left the field, less to the center, and practically none, to the right. The shortstops of both clubs were busy; they were on the shortstop the colored team did try to hit a ball over the fence after making a regular Chicago American Giants' stop. He was on the ball over the fence. The Canby's first baseman, Thompson, is a peach. He is tall, ever so tall, and just as good as he is to tail. Nothing escaped him. Imre Mylille Miller presided.

Alberta.—That the rink battle of May 24, in which Luther McCarty merely a boxing match, was the contention the crown sought to establish when the second session of the trial of Arthur McCarty who was McCarty's opponent in the wining, is charged with manslaughter. McCarty, with William McCaryne, McCary's manager, gave testimony similar to that submitted at the coroner's inquiry. It tended that the bowlers contest contention have saved McCarty death.

Alberta—Arthur Pelkey pugilist, pleaded not guilty when arraigned, was trial for the murder of Larry McAra, the ring-girl fight with Pelkey. The six men chosen for the jury, completed shortly after noon, are prominent citizens of Calgary. D. McAra, H. W. Riley, former member Provincial Parliament; A. M. Berriman and J. Bowler. The jury was made before the trial that the jury would have to agree whether the fatal contest of May 24 was a boxing match or a face fight. "I rowed in the jury, asserted the jury, asserted the blow almed by Pelkey struck McCary on the jaw and McCary's hitter's neck, causing McCary's death." "If a boxing contest," said he, "Pelky might not be guilty; if a prize fight, it would be guilty; if the blow, was guilty of manslaughter." "KID" SNEAD Wins Fast Three-Round Bout at Louis- ville. "Kid" Snead met and defeated "Young Jack Johnston" in three fast rounds at Miami. Johnston was the winner. The fight was the one of the best, ever staged in Louisville. Snead carried off the honors in the first round by flooring Johnston in the second round to the heart. Johnston, however, came back strong in the second round and kept Snead covering up. Snead came back in the third round and brought the crowd alive in the heat of the contest. A quick footwork. Again he floored Johnston with a right hook to the jaw, and bringing the bout to an end. Both rights are matched to meet again June 29th. GEORGE FORD WINS. George Ford, the colored lightweight of Peoria, IL, won another decisive battle the last Friday, June 12, by knocking out the second round of his ten-round fight. Ford displayed the same wicked punch of all his former fighters. In the preliminary round, he colored red held Young Al Tearney the white 115-pound boxer, of Chicago, to a draw. Although Young farmer was outweighed twenty pounds, he proved that he can take and give with the best of them. Johnny Schoopocher and Matty McFadden, two white boys, fought six rounds in the second round. Schoopocher set the best of the argument. DUTIES OF A BALL CLUB'S SECRETARY By J. E. Sanborn. One of the most important cogs in the winning baseball machine works quietly and inconspicuously in the background, and after they have quit, and the manner in which they have quit, the manner performs his duties has a whole other purpose with the absence of presence or friction in the rest of the machine. The business manager of a major league baseball team must be as its secretary, is a remarkably busy person until the末世 series is over, and his work is not finished, for he has to start mapping out things for next season, responsible for what happens in the plant and outside the playing field. The manager of the team is blinded only by the peted stage. For what happens to the patron from the time he steps up to the plant, the business manager usually is respo sible. The ticket sellers and takers, the wicket keepers and ushers—all the em-ployees and the patrons and pop butchers take their payments from the everything that is expected of him by his employer and the public the secretarial places simultaneously and to have a thousand pair of eyes. He must be prophet enough to guess the size of the crowd in advance so as to have enough ticket windows and gates to prevent needless delay there, and enough room to allow the their seats. If he overlays the crowd and has too large a force on hand he will not be the owner who has to pay for it. If a reservation doesn't like his seat and wants a post or a woman hat removed, the secretary listens to him. If a reservation woe and smooth his ruffled feathers. The record of the turnstiles must be taken, and the money must be counted and inside the money with the ticket sellers, then prepared for the visit after the visiting club's share has been taken from the visiting team's business manager. Starting out on a road trip the business manager must see that all baggage is checked and that each member of the team is equipped, except the baggage for the welfare and comfort of every member of the party until it is ready. The team must, except the players are in uniform, enter the ball field. Arriving in a city, the business manager must beat the players to register and registered and roomed, square all bickers they make about rooms or meals, and then to all kinds of touching tales from those who have been in the transportation—and lower berths, if it is a sleeper jump. A "call," just like that posted on the orages, is prepared for the next town, the baggage to be ready of the time and place of departure for the next town, the hotel to be stopped for at a certain time, the baggage to be ready at a certain time, the trunks checked, berths assigned, and the secretary is the last man aboard the officer counting noses to see if any one is lost. In baseball mental and physical conditions count for a good deal—the mental often as queen of the mind. He is in comfort and has all its worries and troubles removed or minimized, its members are bound to be in the same mood. His whose business manager is incompetent or performs his duties in a perfunctory manner, he is not many little things themselves, with the consequent worry and friction. But of this the public takes no account in awarding the honor to a successful team. Two men by long experience and marked ability have earned the reputation of business managers. One of them is now president of a National league team, when Frank Chance was manager of the team. Another is a business manager for his team's success to the easy and frictionless way in which its business managers are the road. Always included Williams in a full share of the team, he was manager of the William Loew club, now manager of the Philadelphia club, was for years business manager of the Pittsburgh team, during which pennants and always was in the light. It may occur to some of you to wonder if the showing the Philies are making may not be partly due to the loss of Horace Angel's company, and some of you may wonder if the Pirates may be due to the loss this year of Locke's supervision as business manager.
