There are stationed at this post one regiment of cavalry, one regiment of infantry—1,800 strong—and a large detachment of the service and service coats. The Twenty-fifth infantry is certainly "cleaning up" in athletics on this island. At the field meet held in Honolulu on October 16, 1942, the team took five of the prizes, three cups and two medals, one a gold medal, won by Private Williamson, of Company A, of the 4th battalion. It seems that there will be no races, except a flag relay race, at the meet to be held here at Schofield on the 18th inst. There are roopers here are afraid of our runners. The post baseball league, composed of the Twenty-fifth infantry, the First infantry and the Twenty-fifth infantry teams, are playing a series of games, a substantial monetary prize. Up to the present writing, the Twenty-fifth has them being shut-out games. Well, it seems like "a shame to take the money" when they are usually a usual celebration. The writer will give the full line-up of the players and their starring points at another time. Giving over from the main land to fill the regiment to a hundred and fifty men to the company, it doesn't seem as if Uncle Sam is having a very hard time to induce colored men to come on boys. Life over here is just "continual round of pleasure." The open reception given by the literate man was a successful affair. The short program, which constituted the first part, was good, but the "Eat Fest," which constituted a successful joy unconfined. The committee, Mrs. King, Mr. John A. Collins, of F company; First Sergeant Flint, of E company; Correspondent of the hospital corps; Mrs. Austin, Mr. Bell, of the band; Mrs. Payne and Mrs. Barnes, deserve much credit for their careful and thorough arrangements and with which the large crowd was handled.

An interesting and informative discus sion of the prejudice axainst Nexroes Among members of labor unions and the very widespread prejudice against labor Unions amang Negroes is contained in an article by Booker T.

Tt is based on A collection of evidence which ig likely to Overthrow the preconceptions of many ax fo the likelihood that this prejudice will remain permanent. ‘One of the easlest things in the world, Mr Washington remarks. 1s, prophecy, and there have been a good many prophe- flex in regard to the Negro, Some have Sala that there le no future for the Ne- Ero, because, In the tong run, he can not compote with the white man.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION HE KNOCKS MISCHIEF OUT OF HIGH COST OF READING Manager Knox Says Price of Paper Must Go Down. 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 administration is working down to the colored folks. Some good appointments being considered. Jack Johnson concluded that he had better hustle out and get something for his Chicago payroll. Dear old Pennsy gave $55,000 to the Negroes of that state to be used in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of freedom. Dear old Pennsy is a grand old state. At the recent meeting of the trustees of Tuskegee Institute, in New York City, Dr. Booker T. Washington's wonderful school was shown to have had the record year of its history. Let us see. In order to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Negro's freedom in an appropriate way, Pennsylvania has given $55,000, Illinois $25,000, New Jersey $25,000 and Indiana—nichts. O, well, there are others. The Negro is holding his own in the college athletic field, in competition with the best blood, brain and brawn of the white race. What would he not do if given an equal chance with the Indians, Cubans and whites in the arena of professional baseball! The St. Paul A. M. E. church of Denver, Colo., pushed the Metropolitan church of St. Louis closely for first place for the greatest amount of money raised in a single rally. The Denver church raised $7,505.95. The Metropolitan congregation raised above $9,000. Next! The National Negro Press Association is in a position to hold a great convention in Philadelphia in August, and has wisely determined to confine its operations to a single city for the event. If there are members who "would a Cape-Maying go," let them do so after the business of the convention is over. For a long time the Negroes of Birmingham, Ala., have been making a plan for better school houses. The result is that the city building inspector has recommended the expenditure of $307,001.84 on the Negro schools of Greater Birmingham. That looks as if we are expected in the country and also appreciated. Some little optimism sandwiched in will give life a more roseate hue. Not very long ago some one asked us to give the number of banks operated by Negroes. The following note on the subject is current, and we think correct: Virginia, 12; Mississippi, 11; Alabama, 8; North Carolina, 6; Texas, 6; Florida, 4; Tennessee, 4; Oklahoma, 3; Georgia, 2; Illinois, 2; Maryland, 2; Arkansas, 1; Kentucky, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Washington, D. C, 1. Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou Miss, has succeeded in financing the $100,000 cotton seed oil mill of that city. The mill has been paid for, it is said, and besides $50,000 in bonds has been placed, supplying funds for a working capital. According to plans the mill will begin in the early fall crushing cotton seeds. The concern has great prospects. Mr. Banks and his co-workers are to be congratulated on the happy outcome. Lee L. Brown, editor of the Louisville News, will stand for the legislature. His candidacy has been anounced, and according to information he is being favorably considered. Every now and then Louisville has a candidate and who, according to the large Negro vote, should make the legislative body of Kentucky. But something has always happened just in time to defeat the colored candidate. What will happen to Mr. Brown? Lucerne Kursall, Fourth of July celebration was held in honor of the American minister to Switzerland, Hon. Henry S. Boutwell, Wednesday, July 2, at Lugano. Program was a symphony concert of American compositions. An orchestra of sixty pieces, under the direction of Louis Lombard, of New York and Trevano Castle, Switzerland. Our minister did not have that lonesome feeling that Payne had when he wrote "Home, Sweet Home" on the Fourth of July. He had a touch of America and Old Glory brought and placed at his feet. As we see it, R. W. Thompson has been a very active and efficient head of the National Negro Press Association in spite of some murmuring to the contrary. It is true that he is not an editor or publisher, but he is a newspaper man, and one of the best in the country. His usefulness ought to be his recommendation. He is the man who has the effort to build a news agency for the distribution of Negro intelligences from the capital and elsewhere, a very much needed thing in view of the poor interest manifested for the race by the concerns by white men. The press tells of a sea captain who began business some years ago with a net capital of 25 cents. He died a few days ago with an estate of $681,813 recorded in the books of the tax appraiser. This is an unique story, but many similar to it are heard every year at the meetings of the National Negro Business League, and vouchered for as the truth by credible witnesses. It illustrates that frugality, shrewdness in making investments and a knowledge of how to turn situation into advantage, usually be depended upon to reap for a man of any race a pretty liberal share of this world's goods. "Every little bit added to what you have makes that much more." SWEET REASONABLENESS We await that to determine the full hurt of this blow. It was a Republican Supreme Court that struck us the first blow at our civil rights. It is a court appointed by Republican presidents, eight out of nine, which hit us this final blow, a court seven of whose justices were appointed by those twin traitors to colored Republicans, Roosevelt and Taft.—The Boston Guardian. O, don't be so forlorn. The Supreme Court simply squared conditions. It got tired of the old lie of the equality of civil rights, when there is no such thing in practice. And it merely looks bad, sounds bad. The thing of discrimination has ever been on, and will never cease until it is in the hearts of the people to cease it. Nothing is sacrificed in admitting what is even if that that is, is. We will still fight for what right, but not in an inflammatory way. Taft and Roosevelt were no different to Cleveland or Wilson. All being guided by sentiment, the higher law of any country, and most especially so in republics. We think it poor policy to turn especially on office holders and the courts. These are what they are by the sufferance of the people. We do not mean that they should not be spurred up to their duty. Often they could do more than they do, but all of us know their limitations. True enough, we are coming in a way in spite of the decrees of courts or what the white people think; but there are some ways in which we are making no advance, especially in the way of civil and social conditions at the court. We are also important that we find some way to overcome this defect, to meet it at least, staying it, rather than have the tendency the other way. We have seen that hateful speech begets an opposition accordingly, and not what is expected. This is due to the prevailing sentiment which is practically unanimously against us along the lines mentioned. We are not seriously inconvenienced by the social handicap or the somewhat civil handicap, yet it requires progress along these lines to make a people what they should be if the would-be victim well understand the situation. When we win the people then we will win the office holders and the courts, otherwise we are so many Don Quixotes, fighting giant windmills with very poor weapons of offense. INDIANA MAN FOR LIBERIA Report comes from Washington that the Indiana delegation in congress has scored a victory in landing the ministership to Liberia. Dr. George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., is held to be the man who will draw the prize. Some considerable elation is being manifested by the Negro Democrats of Indiana, who feel that success has crowned their efforts in standing for Democracy. However, it was not understood that Dr. Buckner was an applicant for the Liberian post. He was mentioned for the Haytian ministership, and his candidacy was urged along that line. What the doctor will do remains to be seen. The Liberian post is lucrative enough, paying $5,000 per year. But it has never been greatly desired excepting by a class of men who wanted a job at any cost. the reputation of the climate is against the little republic. And its reputation keeps fair pace with its character, it will be noted, when it is known that two ministers of years ago, and two of the recent past, succumbed to the deadly African fever. These facts have knocked all the romance out of the job. But at that, it is worth while, and more than likely Dr. George W. Buckner will be minister to Liberia with "plenty power." Then the $5,000 is rather alluring, not to speak of the pompous title. Men will wave many little scruples in wending their way to fame and fortune. Dr. J. B. Oliver, of Brazil, Ind, was also mentioned favorably for the Liberian ministership. He, like Dr. Buckner, was a candidate for the post at Haytil, making a vigorous campaign to that end. It is said that Bishop Walters suggested A. E. Manning, of the Indianapolis World, for the position. The Indiana senators, who know Mr. Manning very well, held that he was too useful to the Democracy to send out of the country. The commendation, one will think, means very much for Mr. Manning. The report had it that Mr. Taggart and Mr. Manning are such an agreeable duo that it would never do to rend them asunder. Dr. Furniss still holds on at Haytij, where he has been through two administrations. His fine services were his recommendation to Presidents Roosevelt and Taft. Before this he was consul to Bahia, Brazil, South America, having been appointed by President McKinley. He has served his country very well, and himself none the less. The Democratic portion of the Negroes are willing that he comes in, a thing expected, according to report given out from Washington. That he will not be succeeded by a Negro Indianian is rather disappointing. We lose prestige by the 'demonion' since it seems as if the Negroes, otherwise. Perhaps it would have established a sort of precedent if the plum had again been allied this state, and which would THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. have been construed as a mark of favor or distinguisment not warranted in view of the many states that do as well, politically, as Indiana. In event we draw the Liberian ministership it will yet mean very much, since there will not be a great deal of patronage to hand around. DALLAS, TEX.

Bowens, who had been a great success "For the Last Time Call Me Sweetheart" and "When I Lost You." He was the greatest success. So I makes a Noise in the Frying Pan, "That's When I'll Go With You" "Going Back Home Tomorrow" and a parody on "I Need You." This team leaves next week. The band played for the time. The bill opened with Thomas Milton, a trump musician. All of his numbers were good, especially "Mellow Melon." In this section, the band performed in this section, proved to be clever dancers, but Miss Holmes might have worn silk hose. She is a clever dancer and the band was a bit nervous. "Bathing Dan" was Anderson's song that took well. They closed with dancing, Laura Smith sang "The Blue" and "The Gabby Glide." This little fat sister did the house scream. Plans Perfected. Plans have been perfected between Mr. Jim Wimley, S. S. Wimley and a gigantic circuit of colored vaudeville houses.

This is the strongest team in the East, and the team is based on the season is expected to be pulled off by the team. The Easterners are coming to win. They have a fine record already this season, and Foster hopes to take their measure. Confidential reports reach us that Mendez will be with the Cuban Stars on July 4 and 6 when they play the American Giants. Since the Stars played here a season long, they are strengthened. The manager has cabled for more pitchers, realizing that this had been their present trip. Order your seats from the box office and get there early to redeem them. Join the American Giants rooters club. It won't be many weeks before the St. Louis Giants and the Louisiana Pelicans will be here. These series will begin as soon as the American Giants return from their trip to Louisiana. They served for Kentuckians, Indians and Missourians when these teams come. The American Giants went to Detroit and Buffalo last week. They played three games and three. Mass Hazel Jack was copually entertained in the city where the teams played. The hotter the weather gets, the better ball is played at Schorling's park. The cooler the weather, the colored can stand more heat than any other race. Out of the park and the race, Chicago the park week, but few if any is recorded of the colored man or woman. Captain Pete Hill has been somewhat under the weather the past few days, and Lindsey has been playing center. Peteway is described by S. H. Dudley as the "race horse" of the team. He is the best ase runner and stealer on the teams, says Dudley. Duncan is still piling up his record as a batsman. He is one sure safe hitter. When Barbour nails a ball, its "sweet dreams." He has no equal as a right fielder. "Money," the fast second baseman, is the best ase runner and teammate. He wears his popularity with becoming modest. He is just naturally a ball player. Taylor at third is a scream. He is worth his weight in gold and pla ys artistic ball and never gets illustrated. Hutchinson is playing good ball at short. He is back in the game after an absence of several days. Piece is another one of the American Giants hitters. He is easily big league timber. Johnson, Lindsey, Foster, Gatewood and Anderson are pitchers who can always be relied upon as pitchers who do their utmost to win from the mound. They are ably assisted by the inner and outer fielders. The American Giants lost to the Sprudels on Tuesday of this week. Lindsey and "Steel Arm" Taylor for the visitors. Sprurels ..... 2 0 1 1 2 0 3 0 2-11 American Giants. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0-1 The same team played this week. Mr. Malini has arrived, with the Cuban Stars. FAST GAME OF BASEBALL. Cuban Stars Win From A. B. C.'s- Brilliant Fielding on Both Sides— A Game of Nip and Tuck— Score 5 to 4. (By Billy Lewis.) That brilliant collection of ball tossers, the Cuban Stars, played a return last Monday, and won last Monday, winning as they won three games of the series of a few weeks ago. They did not win with the same ease, however. More than half of P. C.'s game practice winning, won, the unexpected happened, knocking things awry. The game was finely fought, and not won until the third man went down in the ninth inning.

C.'s walked right along until three were on bases. Selden knocked a lake-bound fry apparently out of human reason. The crowd cheered, chatting, thinking the three men would make it. Pedrosa, the left fielder, ran something. The crowd punctured at once, collapsing like a defauted air tire. It was a most aggravating happening. He was hit by the ball. The game would have stopped for very joy. As it was the men "cussed" and grinned, the women took on a fainting attitude. The catch, all had to say, just the same. Slugging was a feature of the game, the batters caught on to the style of the twirlers. The fielding was exceptionally brilliant. The catching played a beautiful perfect game in the field. In the fifth inning the Stars spurred the ball, putting snap in the game. Scored three goals. Murray Dupree is the name of the Nebraska Indian who recently joined the Mays C. s. He plays the bass. He plays earnestly, making himself at once a favorite. Dupree is a real Indian, looks it, having a bit of that guttural grunt to his voice. He is a half breed. He is a half breed, but the Indian in him is the bigger half. The lesser half is French, he says. He said nothing of a Negro admixture, although in some cases he is a Negro. He is Indian all right, and only needs a tomahawk and blanket to complete his personality. He was a farm boy, and he is a farm boy, and his parents are living. They are on a farm in northeastern Kansas, Brown county. The Freeman team will play the Recorder team Tuesday, July 15. All news reports of Admission, 10 cents, for sweet charity. INDIANS GO DOWN.

OUT THIRTY DAYS Third Edition Ordered The Great Narrative of the Year "The Conquest!" BY A NEGRO PIONEER In these chapters (as told by himself) is the story of a young sleeping car porter who was discontented; that is, he possessed energy - a desire to become more than just "George." To have a part in American progress, or to be a "cog in the wheel" was the big idea. "Go West young man and grow up with the country," was the final ultimatum. What followed this advent makes up the story of unusual interest. A thrilling tale of homestead development and town building, with a strong human interest, and a strange outcome to a love affair. It is truly a story of conquest. Des Moines Register and Leader. "An unpretentious narrative and should prove an inspiration to young men, both white and black." Western Laborer-"A revelation." Lincoln Daily Star-"A big story of Northwest development and love." Sloux City Tribune-"Does not bore you with so much rot about race abuse and 'Nagro problems' is the problem of each and every individual." Cloth, 311 pages, sixteen full page il- ilustrations.

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Tim E. Owsley, Proprietor. The bill at the Crown Garden theater this week is interesting and varied. Not only is it a venue, but instead of the usual four. This is in keeping with the policy of the house, which is living up to its reputation as the house of the garden. Managers at the house to be congratulated in effort to go to Crown Garden patrons the best attractions known to vaudeville. This theater is a great venue for audience management, good appreciative audiences as well as for the good acts. Johnson and Warfield Jones and Smith. Susie Cook. Susie Cook, soloist, sings three songs. At first one is inclined to believe that she can do everything she deceiving. She grows as she sings and before she is through the audience found herself singing her "Bubble Bee" is done with singing alone, no gestures, a remarkable thing for that kind of a song, which requires a certain order. She wins just the same. Her points are, good articulation, deep earnestness, and the moment of her singing ability. She is a mixture of coon shouter, ballad singer and lyrical singer. She is of good stage appearance and well cosmic. Her "Call Me Mamma" is splendidly beautiful. Her "Now He Does It Nearly Every Night" goes big. Susie is a hit, all right. The Kaptivating Pewees. A most interesting team is the Peewes. This is their second engagement within a few weeks. They return with a well-defined set of skills and popularity. Everything they do is captivating, just as they say. Miss Peewes distinguishes herself by doing a well-pulled monologue. She does something very good. Miss Peewes does some juggling feats. He should be able to stay in this field altogether, as it is somewhat easier to do than it was. Miss Peewes assists and in the meanwhile does some catchy acrobatic work, also mincing and prancing, which is very pretty as an accompaniment to a very interesting act and pleasing.

It seems that this theater had quite a little trouble in getting real acts last summer, and the manager, late of the Georgia Blossom big act, passing for a sister act, was so bad that the manager had to close them, and the manager, Mr. Macknab does not believe in closing an act, and unless it is very, very bad, the manager is in the Georgia Blossom act, but in vaudeville alone, won't do. The Dancing Imps were very good. Members of the cast were very good. Daisy Garrett and Daisy Garrett, Wilson and Goff were just fair, but Juniper and Carrington were a riot. the management feels that they have a better bill for this Pioneer Theater.

BAD EGGS IN THE BUSINESS. Indiana.edu Editor Fred Hardy wish to inform you that I booked Allen & Milton, a colored team of men who gave their address as 501 Willard street, the city, booked me downtown, the last half of this week. They came to my office and barely in time to see me, no money to buy their tickets, I advanced them $3, accepting an order on their salary. Now, they not only disappointed the team but they were there to play, but they skipped with my $2. I do not say that all colored teams are unreliable, but this is an example of the team's unreliability in the newspaper, by colored teams, and never have I had one white act borrow money and throw me down. Such people as that should be honest and unreliable. Hoping you will give this space, I am respectfully, W. P. HENDERSON. The colored performers will have to be careful. They are complaining of shabby shoes and should not invite trouble. The white people have a way of holding us all responsible. It is wrong, of course. The only way to beat it is that no one be guilty. BINGLINGS ANNEX BAND This band is under the direction of P. A. Venable and has proven to be an excellent band withstanding the handicap under which they opened, owing to two serious disappointments, and to its usual standard and improving all the time. By patient and skillful work by Venable, inexperienced band members would never know but what they had been trooping for years. Another feature is that the band is neat as a pin, both on and off the stage, and all are gentlemen, who still hold the record of being the most sociable and popular bunch invelling. The roster is as follows: P. A. Venable, Andrew Scott, L. Patterson, B. Bedenbaugh, cornets; Buford Palmer, Alex Jackson, alos; William Mitchell, Richard Jones, drums; L. L. Young tuba. PROF.

(By Edwin H. H. Hackley, Husband of A. E. Hackley the Noted Soprano.) The presentation of "The Ambassador," by Grant Williams, a romance and political fiction by Edwin H. Hookley, Thursday evening, June 12, was one of the most successful and most satisfying previews that I have seen of the large and fashionable audience. The work of those taking part throughout was consistently excellent. It was a great talent, and the performance of unprofessionals has the extraordinary talent to produce so creditably such a difficult play. If it were not well presented, it would have been better. He was said in all justice that at no point was the performance vulnerable to adverse conditions, brought out, and the characters were clearly drawn. There was no laggard in the cast. The romance moved along with admirable colority, keeping the audience engaged and entertained in laughter. It is a mine of good work, clean and wholesome. As General Bugge, coach, he was a great part in laughter. H. Morris was calm, poised and alert for every opportunity the lines gave him; he has tact and dramatic ability, and he has the character to part, and he won the audience on his first appearance; sharing honors with Morris was William H. Bennett, for Ms. Morroco, who gave the character a remarkable and artistic interpretation. It was a great success, and I assisted these principals were Eas THE AUDITORIUM THEATER PHILADELPHIA. At the Auditorium Theater the vaudeville this week is of extraordinary interest, starting with Sylvia, the marble statue, who was the headliner; Jines and Jenkins, who were the lead singers; the ladderer and her picks, and Smith, the monologist. The whole program is meritorious. NOTES FROM THE J. M. BUSBY SHOW. Alonzo Williams, formerly of "In Old Kentucky" Company, and Richard Pringle Show, joined us in Fairbury. He credited addition to our band and show. SYNOPSIS OF "THE CONQUEST." By a Negro Pioneer.

He stated that Austrians are making to boxing with the greatest interest, and had made up their minds to a team to the Olympic games in 1916. Many sporting events will feature the games next October. There will be track and field athletics, international rugby football, international golf, international national army and navy boxing championships, swimming races between champions of the Pacific coast and Hawaii, men's and women's dropleaf faces, races and tennis.

Jack Johnson, from all accounts, is getting an inning at the bat. He made a successful getaway, but Canada, but not the United States, of coming his trial, which comes up again in November. That's what Jack says — that he has learned to think that the champion has gone for good. And there are those who do not care very much if he has gone. The prosecution, the government, is not interested in the prosecution by way of public sentiment. The people know the difference between prosecution and persecution, and are in business when it concludes to persecute as it proves conclusively in this case. The prosecution backs it, since it would gain nothing out of the doubtful business. For, say what you will, the case will not stand inspection by the fair white light . . . Here follows what was seen in the daily papers on the champion's flight: the Nero pugilist, who is in this city, admitted tonight that he intended to sail for Europe. He was at St. Petersburg next September. He said he did not intend to forfeit his hall bond, which calls for his presence under sentence on a white slave charge. Johnson, accompanied by his white wife, arrived here early today, having arrived in an effort to avoid newspaper men, he moved half a dozen times from houses in which he had engaged rooms, night, however, when on the telephone and outlined his plans, will remain in Montreal until next week. He am I booked to sail for Europe," said Johnson. "I intend going direct to St. Petersburg, where I have a boat Smith. These fights will be pulled off some time in September." Johnson stated that the immigration authorities made no effort to stop him at the airport due hi m Toronto and he came this way to collect it before leaving for Eu- . . . It stands to reason that Johnson is down in the exchequer. It was up to him to get the money he was sitting around in Chicago awaiting his various trials. He was his own attorney in the matter of getting away, perhaps, knowing that he had to move to Chicago to get his sentence. He couldn't afford to take "no" for an answer, consequently it was not wise to move to Chicago while he was in Chicago. He says that he will come back; and he thinks, doubtless, that the expressed determination of the local fummery that might have been interposed. He'll come back; maybe he will, he may well. He says that the prison sentence was going to be cut off, if he'd been on going. I would hold, that he would be up to the job to it to me. I would do it, if could, and never think of the cost, provided I had it. This on the theory that we are to be sent to the law, we are to be returned if possible. This does not mean disrespect for the law when rightfully ministered, and as it generally is, it does not mean that disrespect for the law is intended at no time. In this case, races are involved in many other cases, and the adulterated law not always obtainable. Those who minister the laws are no more than clerics, and the law is common. A common passion inflames. $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 debility, lack of vigor, weakened muscles, and back pain, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has caused so many worm and nervous men their own wounds without any additional relief on medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and should have a copy. So I have determined to give them a prescription free of charge, in a plain, orally sealed envelope to any man who will me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surresting combination for the cure of deficient nutrition and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to any one a copy in confidence, so that any one anywhere who is weak and discoerced, dragging himself with harmful patient encounters, secure what I believe is the protecting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-Therapy NAMY remedy ever devised, and so cure himself from some ailments. Just drop me a line like this: E. R. Robinson, $381 Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this book. I will envelope free of charge. A few many doctors would charge $3.00 to for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. consequently there will be things said about the hurt and inconvenience of others. The Negro race in America has learned to guide their activities very largely by giving in to the white people, so freely and so generally that it has become the expected and the ruling fact. There is a sense of shame in the fact that people do not feel cast down because asked to stand aside while the white people pass. But at that the thing is done more often. The Jack Johnson affair is a case in point. The following was also seen in the daily news about the time of the champ's flight: MONTREAL, June 27—Jack Johnson, the Negro pugilist, accompanied by his white steamer, Corinthian, Sunday morning, booked to sail for Harve on the Allan steamer, Corinthian, Sunday morning, booked to sail for Harve on the Johnson tonight with a view to taking summary deportation action should he fail to comply with the restrictions of the Negro pugilist. The Negro pugilist in response to a demand of the officials produced a through ticket to Harve, purchased in Chicago. The pugilist, with the ship on which he is booked to sail. More than likely Johnson had his program worked out, down to the minutest detail, to expert plotted him through his Scylla and Charybdis—more than likely so. The following was also seen in the daily papers anent the hegira of the champ CHICAGO, June 27.—The federal authorities expected today to make a request of the Montreal police, to block a lockup of Joseph Negro pugilist, and his return to the United States on the ground that his conviction for him "an undesirable citizen." CHARLE F. DeWoody, superintendent of the department of justice, admitted to the Johnson can be returned to Chicago and forced to serve his one year and one day sentence in the federal penitentiary at Montreal. He was also arrested in protestations at Montreal that he intends to return to Chicago after fighting abroad and that he will not forfeit his bond, the government agents believe he "There is a paragraph in the laws of the Canadian northwest police," said Desmond Wright to turn back into this country any person whom they may deem objectionable and Johnson does not leave Montreal before we get the Canadian authorities to act he will be brought back and kept under surveillance until his appeal is disinterested." Boasted About It. In Need of Kale. Though DeWoody and the district attorney's office intend to use every means in their power to return the Negro to the city, he is not going in sporting circles today, shared by federal officers, that the government would not be the loser if Johnson fled to Europe, where he is in desperate straits financially," said DeWoody. "I know that to be a fact and I presume that he has seen a chance at Paris and Amsterdam, make some money." Though Johnson's attorney, Benjamin Bachrach, declared today that the Negro's bond could not be declared forfeited, he said he will appeal, probably next April. DeWoody was of a different opinion. If the court was convinced that Johnson had left its jurisdiction the bond might be delarled forfeited at any time, he believes. MONTEREAL—June 28. Jack Johnson, Negro pugilist, had today completed all his training in Chicago, where he was to row on the liner Corinthian, skip leaves Montreal early Sunday morning, there is a chance he will be back into the United States as an undesirable immigrant. He as showed the authorities that he had bought a boat in Chicago. Under these conditions he can not be deported under the Dominion law. Johnson is accompanied by his wife, Lucille Cameron, who was Lucille Cameron, or Minneapolis. MONTEREAL June 28. Jack Johnson, the Negro pugilist, accompanied by his white wife, Lucille Cameron Johnson, left for Havre on the Allan Line steamer. They boarded the steamer last night in the presence of Canadian immigration officers, and Johnson's progress toward Europe was being monitored. Johnson's jurisdiction. Just before going on board Johnson reiterated his declaration that he would be in Chicago and was going to Europe to recoup by boxing contests the losses he had in Chicago and was going to Europe to be in Chicago when his appeal from a white slave conviction is argued in November. Johnson took with him automobiles, a limousine and a high-speed car. SOME ADVICE TO THE YOUNG PLAYERS. How and How Not to Catch Baseball "Girl-Fashion" Causes Broken Fingers—Learn to Play Bright For it is not infrequent that on a ball club three or four athletes can render selections from the operas on the piano or the orchestra. The hotel here have been kept busy by play- Sometimes a ball is hit so fast the ball can be taken by the ball over his shoulder while running. In this case both hands go up in front of his shoulder, fingers point outward. If you want to get a sharp line between the proper and improper way to hit the ball, you need the ball players who earn their living on the diamond and then a group of girls imitating their big brothers—and the way they hold the hands is the way the girls do.

Canadian Jury Frees Pugilist Charged With Death of Luther McCarty. CALGARY, Alberta—Arthur Pelkey, the purgist, was on the night of June 22. acquitted of a manslaughter charge which was placed against him as a result of the death of Luther McCarty, who was ten-round bout at the Burns arena here May 24, last. It was charged by the government that McCarty died from a brain injury. The jury was out forty-five minutes and the verdict was to the effect that the contest was a prize fight, but that the contest was a manslaughter inasmuch as the blow he struck was not intended to cause fatal injury. In his charge to the jury Justice Harvey McCarty said to whether or not the contest was unilogical, but he said there was no doubt that death had been caused by a blow that the jury should consider only when the contest was not caused by the death of his opponent in an effort to win the prize placed upon the contest. Pelkey was jubilant when he was acquitted and declared it was exactly what he expected. Tommy Burns, who is to answer a question about the death of his key was tried, declared he was glad Pelkey was freed, but evidently from the words of Chief Justice Brown and the words of the dead, the death of Pelkey prize fighting had been sounded in Canada. In this connection, both Justice Brown and Pelkey said the only desire in prosecuting had been to define a prize fight, and that if Pelkey had been convicted he would have been released on suspended sen- KID ASH BACKS OUT THIRD TIME After Signing Articles Refuses to Meet Deadline 25 per Cent, Gate, Receipts Kid Ash, the well-known wetterweight fighter of Cincinnati, had a third time to prove himself with the tough stint of meeting Jack Hannibal, the demon of indiana, who seems to weigh down his opponents. Hannibal's lowers believed that the third time would be a charm and had begun to look for a way to counter certain opponents for certain bouts between the veteran pugilist, Kid Ash, and the indomitable, Kid Ash, and the first matching looked as good as the last, for Kid Ash signed articles of agreement with the promotors afterwards by asking the promotors for an unreasonable sum of money for his fight. The promotors are thinking that Kid Ash's reason for asking for more money than the pro 1910 JACK HANNIBAL. motors could pick up altogether was a brilliant way in which Ash planned to sidestep the powerful Jack Hannibal, who is rated as one of the best colored fighters in the country today. Ash, who touches were being put on the excellent arrangements for the fight between Ash and Hannibal at Northwestern Park, this city, on July 14, 2013, during which shows just how much Kid Ash and his manager regard contracts: "Cincinnati, O. June 27, 1913. Dear Sir—The only way you can get Kid Ash is by getting privilege of 25 re cent, of the gross gate receipts and transportation for two, if you care to have us work, let us know, will post a forfeit of $900 to $600 with him, or give us this Enquiler, any time you say. Let me hear from you. Yours truly." HARRY GORDON. Care the Enquirer, port Dept." NEGRO FIGHTERS IN THE PRIZE RING But there have been other colored fighters of the first water who have not been able to win the championship of champion. One of these is Sam Langford the Boston "Tar Baby"; another is Joe Janetelle, while a third is Sam McCoy. The Negro's first real prominence in the fighting game came when Jackson entered the field. That was in the 1950s, when the ruler of the heavyweight division. The fact that the famous John L. drew the color line was unfortunate for Jackson, who was a heavyweight champion day that Sullivan had fought the Negro he would have been beaten. This argument carried strength as evident, in this argument. Peter Jackson fought James J. Corbett to a draw after sixty-one rounds of terrific milling, and van in twenty-one rounds. Any man that could make such a battle against Corbett at that time must have ranked in the top five. James J. Corbett had given many other white pugilists, including Joe Choynski, who was some "shucks" in the game, a chance to win a title, and a chance to win a title, for the title holders barred him when he was good. It would be the hardest thing in the world to decide which was the greater of the two, the men or the were members of different classes, "Little Chocolate" was a wonderfully clever boy, and in his remarkably long string of words he was stacked up against him. Perhaps the most notable of his achievements were his battles against the man who, many years later, would ever put on a pair of gloves, "Young Grifo". Twice they met in the ring, the men would put their hand on the counter, with the result a draw. Their second meeting was over the ten round route, and so closely did they battle that the referee was forced to call another draw. There was no one in the big field of fearless weights in the gym. He was gripping his hands and he held the title until Ben Jordan, a clever Britsher, came along and shaded him in twenty-rounds at New York. But when Jordan rounded to the finish, for loose living had made inroads on his constitution. He continued to battle, however, and there Jordan beating, beating, "Little Chocolate" ever more that he when he clashed with Terry Mcovern in New York, "Terrible Terry" battered all the ring, and finally stopped him in eight, never really recovered from that batting, and in the bouts he engaged in afternoons wasn't the same boy. It wasn't long after Dixon stopped fighting that he died. Joe Walcott is the eighth wonder of the boxing world in milling. Only 5 feet 1½ inches in height and weighing in the neighborhood of 145 pounds, he barred no one of any weight, meeting heavyweights just as readily as he The big fellows in particular seemed "made for Walcott, and the record she set was one man that out over Joe Choynski in seven rounds as one of his big performances. But one man that was "Kid" Lavinia the Saginaw (Mich.) welt. Twice Walcott tackled Lavine, losing the first time between rounds and the second time in twelve innings. The victories over were Tommy West, Billy Edwards, Dan Creedon, "Mysterious Bills," Joe Bonner, "Kid" Carter, and Geo. Gee, which is an ample evidence of his caller. When Joe Gans was lightweight champion he certainly was the "smartest" thing in the boxing line, but, like Dixon, Gans has passed on, his end coming soon. The difference is that thing that Gans didn't know about the game, it is still to be learned. He was a wonderfully clever, and rightfully so, Wonderfully clever, and is now punch with the steat that scores the knockouts. It is doubtful, too, if any boxer ever wins an art of defense bet- For six years the Baltimore boy held the championship of his class, and for a while he was battling in the ring. He captured the title from Frank Erne, the Buffalo boy, in a one round mill of the knockout. Gans told his honors until 1988, when Battinging won the victory. It can be said for Gans that he was "through" when he lost the crown, for consumption had taken a grip on him, but it wasn't long after that that he passed. Now that Jack Johnson is under scrutiny for consumption has been relegated from league play, a little said about him except that he was a great fighter, but not, however, of the wonderful class of a Dixon or a Gans, who had little opposition and none of real class, while the other two mentioned were the champions when a stone couldn't be broken. There are only two Negro fighters of class today. These are Sam Langford and Jimmy Edlye is the better, and it can be said for the Boston Negro that were he permitted to play, and the chances of success would be more than bright. Langford is about the toughest anywhere. For years he has been giving away a barrel of weight, meeting thirty to fifty pounds. But he has wonderful ability to take punishment and is possessed of an exceptionally hard wailing voice that has made the "Tar Baby" famous. SEKITAN, OHIO. Special to THE FREEMAN.
