Special to the Freeman. The last week in the Chicago news that Gov. Dunne would soon appoint the commissioners for the Negro institutions in 1915. Last week he appointed the following: Mrs. Susie Lawrence, Commissioner; Mrs. Joan Perry, Senator W. Duff, Pierce, Mt. Vernon; Major George W. Ford, Governor; Major H. R. Jackson, Chicago; Rev. A. J. Carry, Chicago, and Medi McCormick, Chicago. Every member of the commission is appointed to the greatest thing of its kind ever attempted in the interest of the colored citizens. Most elected secretary of the commission and Mt. N. Fields will be selected as the press agent. Heads of various departmental commission is supposed to meet this week in begin at once planning, put forth a national effect. It is to be hoped there is a unanimous approval of the exposition, and it not only means to show the accomplishments of the Negro institutions on a national effect. It is to be hoped that the best men and women possible will be selected to work for the exposition on the credit of the Negro race. Character of Mrs. Eudora Johnson Defeated by Annalee Court. The successful apportion of the state of Illinois settled for once and all the controversy between Miss Elizabeth Shaughter and Miss Jane Johnson. Shaughter and Miss Jane Johnson, for slander, Miss Shaughter and Appellate Court, for slander, Miss Shaughter the Appellate Court. It will be remembered when the courses through slander were mainly generalism of attorney Edward H. Morris, the juror awarded Miss Shaughter the sum of fees incurred for the judgment. It was understood that the suit for slander was brought about by bessing friends, leading the inquest, and by bessing friends, leading the inquest, they could acquire fame and fortune. So strong was Mrs. Binga in the right and wishiness to defend good name and reputation, that court and was vindicated by the following decision: The 3rd and 4th instructions given at the instance of the plaintiff (Shaughter) are subject to the criticism that they practically restrict desecration of inscription to the times stated above. If the record was otherwise free from error the amount awarded by the judgment was excessive as to necessitate a reversal of the judgment. The judgment. The judgment. The judgment. Those to know Mrs. Jessie Johnson Binga, it is needless to say, know that it was not a matter of finance, but of the justice as she and her husband too, and big, minded people, ever ready to lend financial aid to those deserving. To sum up, the case is another case of "right and prevail." Bethesda Baptist Church Progressive bethesda Baptist Church Progressive.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed, I met the educator with successively guide such an institution as Tuskegee, spells system with a capital "S," I jotted down the following topics I have come to forearming in the forthcoming meeting of the National Business League? 2. What of the Y. M. C. A. movement? 3. What of Negro business? 4. What is the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of freedom? 5. What of the recent United Nations league will be registered its high-water mark. It will be very widely attended, representatives coming from all parts of the country are being discoveries right along of success in doing telling things. They are branching out. Organizations are being organized. It is encouraging to see them reaching out, doing good in all respects in accord with their intent. There are no close ties. They give strength to business. Local organizations are also being formed; they are not known by the League, but they are similar work. All of this is encouraging." As to the Y. M. C. A, movement the educator said: "I am very much interested in the work of the schools, I will have a potent and sure influences over the young men coming into the large cities. Much depends on the kind of influence they have." These influences are good, results in kind will follow. If bad, then otherwise. The young white man is also being largely influenced by the black men, cities as well as it is in larger ones. He is eight or ten to color. I believe that the movement will become gangetic and will be a campaign is on for the Y. M. C. A. I see much good to come about from a cooperative movement because the race is not a barrier to a campaign. The work means a better understanding, finally meaning much by way of assistance to struggling institutions by colored people." Dr. Washington said that he had not paid very much attention to the Negro community in the city of New York, therefore he did not feel it advisable to speak to the point. As to the expositions he said: "The plan is to teach one week in October for general celebration, each State or community to celebrate in its own way. The work means that the States had done by way of appropriation for the promotion of the expositions, citing Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and others. The work would conduct their celebrations along the line of county and State fairs, such as has been the custom in the city of New York, would conduct their celebrations so as to give expression to what has been done indicative of racial progress within the State. The National Baptist Convention, which meets in Nashville, Tenn., in September, the Doctor said, would use much of its time in celebrations of fifty years of freedom in appropriate ways. Referring again to the Supreme Court, the business of the Supreme Court is to THOMAS E. TAYLOR, GEN SECY decide questions. It has done so in this instance, he insisted At this time A. E. Manning, of the World, came rushing in the room, saying, "Doctor, your time's up!" The announcement was rather startling, but he had only in mind that the educator had no more time to spend in the interview. NEWS OF CENTRALIA. ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN VALDOSTA, GA.

(By Noble Sissle.) The formal opening of the Colored Branch, Y. M. C. A. which is situated at the corner of the campus, was held on last Sunday afternoon, when the entire campus, an estimated hundred people crowded the gym to listen to the speaker, Dr. J. E. Mooreland the international lawyer, was wishing to greet the ordeal said in the room. "This building is the concrete expresses our values, our beliefs, our years ago. It stands for better manhood, physically, morally and spiritually. We must grow. We must make them more efficient and dependable, and therefore to de-depend on them. We will make them better fit for their church work and life in their homes. We want them to be more manhood to take their places in the world. The speaker dwelt on the spiritual development of the members as the ultimate highbred to Mr. John Rosenwald, of Chicago, whose gift of $25,000 made possible the erection of this building. He held the trophic, Hebrew statesman," and held up by the speaker as an ideal example of Christian prolochism. He was a member of Cincinnati, headed by their secretary, Mr. H.

Mr. Washington praised the generosity of Mrs. C. J. Walker, of Indianapolis, who colored woman to go to the X. M. to speak to the speaker continued preaching the gospel of the soil. "When the leaders of this movement gave an opportunity to Washington, "I was a bitter influence a ber of our race to leave the cities and plant themselves in the country and on the land, so much better off in the country. Ownership of the soil lies at the foundation of progress. All races have proved this fact. We can buy land now at prices we can not get in fifty years." Proud of His Race. "I am proud of being a member of the Negro race and never more so than tonight," he said. "I spurn the men who have been the number of the Negro race. We have worked to do and difficulties to overcome. Mine and I would rather belong to a race whose future is before it than to a race whose history is largely behind it. Let the white people know too many cases of white people hear only of crime. They do not hear about the hard-working, industrious, so-called people of the latter class. I plead for this workingman. This institution should get hold of these people and encourage them. We must remember that they will be pulled down except as the lowest are reached and pulled up." The institution was introduced by Charles W. Fairbanks, J. N. Carey, president of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. president of Thomas. He must remember "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." The thanksgiving prayer was received by the Rev. G. W. Ward, pastor of the church in presenting "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." The thanksgiving prayer was read from Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist who gave $25,000 to the new building fund. J. F. Carey, president of the keys to H. Coleman, who represented the Y.

Mr. Elwood Arnold is the director, and Mr. W. Bankins, proprietor. The question is, Have you been to the Hippodrome? If not, why not? It can never rise unless you help it to rise, so give it a call.

(Tim E. Owsley, Prop.) The Crown Garden bill this week is good from beginning to end. In fact, Wizard Tim is doing so well in furnishing his good acts that he is attracting national attention to Chicago to help form an association, the purpose of which is to bring about a uniformity of good acts to the houses of the various members. It says very much of the new association of the new association. Good acts, of course, will rule at the Crown Garden. Thelma, the Great Female Impersono- nator. Thema is a good big bit of a man to make up as a woman, but he does it, and he is not a woman. He has some of the audience giggled when he raised his skirtis a trifle high. He didn't wear a skirt, and was "sweat" the audience did not know. He jerked off his beautiful blonde wig there as a warrior that could be heard a half hour later. In the Thema dresses grandly. The female portion of the audience finds itself as busy studying his costumes as listening to her singing. He is "raging the Baby to Sleep" and "Sugar Mane." These he puts in over great style, and the song portrayal. He is never suspected of being anything else than a woman studying his costumes is known as yet interesting as a study in a student of womankind. He has just learned from a twelve year old south girl. Thema is the Great while playing in the east some time ago. Original Rags. Original Rags prefers to be known as that. What's in a name? Not a thing, famously, called, is a big, fine gentleman without the least suspicion of rags. He sings a bit in a pleasing manner. But it is as a monologue that he shines. None of the audience knows what he is any better, they are to be seen. He is of splendid voice, commanding appearance, has a good flow of language. His voice is so lively, some were a bit too fleeting for the audience. Rags is at home again in his extemporaneous versification. He gets off his feet and goes on to him in the audience. This part of his act is greatly enjoyed, especially when on the other fellow. But it is all good learned. Rags is a good one. He went big. Cox and Cox Interesting and Entertaining Jimile and Magnolia Cox are another of those southern acts with that good flavor that they so generally have. Most of them are what one might call salty-cheese, but they are not fine, but because so pleasing. Jimile is a comedian who seems to have caught his cue from some odd looking member of his race, that he might have seen on the set of "The Big Bang Theory" to make-up that many have. He has made it interesting because of the faithful imi- THE BROTHERS MILLER AND LYLES RETURN TO THE GRAND —PEAT AND HAYES MAKE HIT AT MONOGRAM — MANAGER KLEIN OFFERS GOOD BILL — TAYLOR AND TAYLOR COMING —STROLL NOTES. Miller and Lyles was the act to be selected by the Gramp manager for a return THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER engagement to pack the house during these hot days. It was clearly demonstrably gent young men filled the bill, for the house was well packed at the Monday evening. The title of the act that has made them a name all over the country, and sought management talks by these versatile comedians "will make a mule laugh," and patrons will be wowed by the worth when Miller and Lytes are on the bill. The boxing scene which closes the bill is a cyclone of fun. If you have not met the other actors, and abroad, "do it now." The other acts were Ackerman and Dulmage, comedy brothers and Reed's aerobic builders. Stroll Notes Mr. Frank P. George, of the Danabegay, has consented to use his influence in seizing a faction on the night of Seventh Mary, on the night of July 17, when Prof. N. Clark Smith and his Tuscan friend, Mr. George, be in the city. The popularity of Mr. George will no doubt add to the attendance. Perrin and Crosby, Lake and Ethelyn, and John Woods open the new Booker T. Washington Theater, July 14, at St. Louis, Mo. Charles Turpin, manager. Brooks and Bowen at Indianapolis, July 14; Louisville and St. Louis to follow; the city's East. Splendid team and will make good. The Pewes are at Louisville July 14, with Cincinnati to follow. The Brown Sisters will be here some time during the month of August. Original Rags is at Indianapolis this week, here next week.

The famous sister team, Criswell and Briley, open August at the Lyceum Theater, books by the Colored Conserved Vaudué Exchange. Miss Fannie Wise, of the "Red Moon," and prima donna of that company, will make her appearance on the Consolidated Vaudeville time. Mr. S. H.

While here he was royally entertained, saw all the games he played in the American Giants, and did his routine business at the home office of the Exchange. Dewey and Porter at Louisville this week. Monogram, Chicago, to follow. The new Green Trio will open at the Monogram July 28, with Indianapolis, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville to follow.

Mr. Creighton Thompson is singing with great success at the Washington Theater. He him. He has a wonderfully trained voice. The new theater at Thirty-fifth and State is nearing completion. Read The Freeman and keep abreast with all the theatrical news. The Lincoln Theater. I wish to correct a mistake made by me in speaking of Bougia and Livingstone, the two men who were half of the week of June 30. The team there was Wotts and Tyler, instead of McCormick and Bill, filled up with Madame Pauline Crampon, who did a very creditable single job, nice Nichols, of Nichols and Logan, did a nice single. Nichols is one funny fellow and a hard worker. He earns a salary of $100,000 a year. L Logan, is taking a little rest, visiting friends and relatives in Boston, Mass. Nichols is also a hard worker. Moores are doing another of their specialties. In the last half Raymond Dillen, the half Moores are doing another good specialty, went big. Lillian Jones pleased immensely. Juniper and Jones pleased immensely. The entire bill, with pictures was good. Lafayette Theater Crescent Theater. George Fisher (white) proved to be a very clever dancer, with wooden shoes and on roller skates. He was a great dancer, and he was the man M. Webster and Edith Nelson, using the name of the Three Dancing Imps, came next. He had just been thrown the ball and had just been thrown the ticket that one particular house. The hit of the act was when Edith Nelson was sitting in the balcony of a much-needed pair of stockings. Now, as it would be impossible for me to say the act was good and tell the truth, I was sitting in the last half at the Lincoln Theater, but were canceled. Daisy Martin and Chenan were opening Monday seemed to them to be the best of the day. Henry Strange appeared in the act, making it a trio. Miss Martin was very good, and sang very well, to have been as hoarse as he was, and, Mr. Henry Strange brought in eight pictures pulled a big house all the first half. Miss Daisy Martin, Chenault and Henry Strange were again seen in the same share of applause. The Seven Ginger Kids closed the bill and were a riot. This week Manager of the Contest Players, a stock company, of which the Muses will produce the plays. Their first will be 'Another Man's Wife', which will improve the business at this house. This playhouse had Baby Jim to open for the week. His failure to appear put Johnson and Britton in the spotlight. Then Irish and English (white) and English (white) were auto and the Baragans (white). Then auto and the Fourth of July still remains untouched, says the manager. At a later date it will be given away, and a grand piano. The show is now fair. Family Theater Gaines and Stafford were a big noise here the first half, and Chase and Johnson went big. Bailey and Jeffery went very bad. The Mills Stars did a lot of damage, and I am amused that they were closed out to North Beach, at the Music Hall. Pioneer Theater Montgomery and McClain opened Monday and were a big hit. Braxton and Braxton went good. Minors and Bryant got by nicely. Wilson and Little also received their share of applause. **Franklin theater** Business owners at the same here. An act is used occasionally with pictures, which are very good. Notes. Holliday and Vaughner and company their carriage are soon to Juniper and Carrington are soon to open on the Dudley Circuit. Prof. Scott Joplin, the Ragtime King, is still rehearsing. He has his show in very good working order. Madam Moss is leading lady, McKisil, of McKisil & Sinasty, has the staging of the produc- tion.

Brown and Lawson, a good team with Brown and Lawson, a good team with know how to put over their act and get out of it all that is in it. Several good pictures of Brown and Lawson. The pictures are truly worthy of mention. Foraker. Blanche Whitine, a soubret, who has laid off for two years, was very bad. Rascal Boots in 500 miles of fun was fair. The best part of the bill at this house. Iceland Theater Baker and Smith played with great success here, being a riot, and were held for four weeks, even meaning that the team was good and came back strong.Same run of pictures. G. Street Airdome. Russell and Russell, a good team in their second week, scored their usual success, being very good. The usual run of Kay-Bee pictures closes a good bill here S. H. Dudley Theater. Billy Terry, a fair comedian, opens the show with a bicycle performer of merlil, who does a number of difficult feats. The Marshall, who takes the bill, with three plights following. Chelsea. Christie and Hackle returned here with a beautiful set of bright, useful as ever. They put over their act in rapid-fire style, cleaning up for fair, the usual use of bright good pictures and bright, biky crowds. Notes. Last week, under the shadow of the dome of the national capitol, almost in a dream, a white boy, imitating the Alleges of Hilsvillage fame, shot up the court house here, and was naked and almost resulting in a tragedy. The curtain is almost ready to drop. With cooler weather, business picked up last week, and so did the acts. Baker and Smith are doing nicely at the office, and Christie and Hackell made Gentry smile at the box office this week. Next for Gentry's aid, in the Freeman next week. NEWS OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

Fearance.) Anderson and Holmes, fresh from the Windy City, made a hit on their first appearance in the Mound City. His songs his passion, his sense ofness from A to Z. He is some dancer, doing some eccentric steps new to this house. Miss Holmes knows how to play her part, and to add a touch of class that goes big. She has a very good voice and knows how to use it to good advantage. Their songs are very good and the audience loves them. Their songs are "Let's Go to Savannah, Ga," "Dancing Dan," and they close with "Dear Old Yankee Land," a bit of their own composition. On the whole, their act is good. The Pewee Koonlets. This act comes up to expectations, and, in fact, is one of class. Little Miss Peewee is petite and charming, and Daisy is very good, and is worth going miles to hear. "San Francisco Bound," as sung by Miss Peewee, is very good and received many good skates. Her good audience skates is very good, being something this audience doesn't usually see. This is a new line for a performer of the show, and the good audience. The "Syncopated Boozy-Boo" made the gang whistle with delight. The act closed with a whirlwind that was good. The whole act went big. Miss Ray Bailey has been forced to lay off for a week as the act commenced bronchial surgery. She is best treated at Washington U. Hospital, and will soon get busy again.

It consists of Archie Grant, first tenor; Arnold McFar- jand, second ‘tenor; Emanuel Cheetham, baritone, and Earnest Watts, basso pro- fundo. “Bach artist is a soloist of no mean ability, and the best numbers were “The Lost Chord” and “The Steam Callt- ope.” The Wallburgs, Ray and Happy, are a classy singing and dancing act that more than make good.

Prof. Wallace Pe- terson and his big symphony orchestra farnished the latest and most up-to-date music. ‘Phe parade was one of the finest ever put on here. It consisted of Professor Rowles’ World Renowned Colored Con- cert Band, featuring Will Randall and Carl Daniels, solo cornetists: Ralph Weatherby, cornet; Harry Walkar. solo clarinet; Arthur Cox, clarinet; William reen, piccolo; Richard Stuart, solo trom- hone; Arthur L.

Walking gents were Earnest Watts, Henry Little, Hi Henry Hunt, James McFarland, Joe Clark, Harry Gogdman and Fred Warsaw. The parade was led by Manaxer C. L. Brickson and his assistants in an automobile, followed by automobiles containing the ladies of the company, and numerous banner boys, and finished up with Willie Edwards and his trick mule, Mickey. During thelr stay in Santa Paula C. 1, Rrickson visited the International Photo- play Studios, and was much interested in the art of taking moving pictures. After examining some of the high-class work done by tiis company, Manager Erickson placed an order with General Manager Sanger, of the Photoplay com- pany, to go to Santa Barbara on Monday, April 14, and take a moving picture of their parade, noonday concert, interior and exterior of mammoth canvas pavil- fon, which is one of the largest and hest ‘on the road, having large first-class scen- ery of all descriptions, and is absolutely Waterproof. A moving picture was alxo taken of the private cars, which are the best equipped in the business. ‘They have electric lighting system, ice plant, Kitchen, dining room, state room and Manager Erickson’s private office, ‘There is plenty of baggaxe accommodation. Moving pictures of the interior and ex- terior of these cars were taken, and also of their team of circus draft horses and wagons, which they curry to transport their paraphernalia to and from the lot, which saves them a lot of time. ‘This moving picture 1s 900 fect in length, and will be used three days in advance of the show in picture houses to advertixe the coming of the world’s greatest colored minstrel aggresation. Manager Erickson was so well pleased with the picture that he has‘ordered two more copies to be used on the Canadian tour. We found Mr. Brickson a gentle- man in every sense of the word, and who lives up to every agreement he makes, and we found that hig motto is, “We Get the Best Talent in Colored Minstrelsy,” land give the public thelr money's worth. ‘This is the first minstrel show known to use moving pictures as an advance ad- vertising medium, and one which is pound to prove successful.

They say they are dt- pendent upon the agent for thelr acts— they most certainly are. But, here is a pertinent fact: The booking ‘agtnts are in business to furnish the kind of acts desired by the managers, and 1 am sure they would he glad to furnish acts of color If they ‘were requested todo. 90. As it is, they are asked for a bill and fare allowed to use thelr own judgment in its formation in a xreat many. in- stances.

The Louisville Cubs ran over to Indianapolis on the Fourth of July to have a game with our AAA team, petted by the Cubs might have as well stayed at home. The home team had visitors at their mercy from the start, and at no time did the varsity team in fact, they indulged a bit of horse play toward the end of the game, making the folks from home bluer than the Cubs. The Yankees, perhaps, were smart-minded over the trouncing the Fortville, team gave them on the morning of the Fourth, when they were shut out on Saturday. The worst Monday in a close game with the Cuban Stars. It was up to them to win on the ground, of the 1,200 spectators, even if they must beat their kinsmen. Benny Lyons, of the t A. B. C's, drew attention at first base for his splendid work as well as Seldon, shown over himself all over with glory. The Indian is not a brilliant player, but a careful, earnest, certain player, who has no cure for foolish around. Benny Lyons is a brilliant player, spectacular, also certain. When the ball is speeding through the Carson, it all loses the seat of his trousers on a slide home. He had to come to the bench backwards. He found it necessary to slide back, back looking so different to the rest as soon as he appeared in the new outfit everybody knew just what he had been worrying about before his sudden The Cubs' first baseman had the stage fright. Guess it must have been owing to the fact that he was made him nervous. Now there is such a thing as that. Some actors won't follow that. Some actors won't know that it has been made too hard for them to follow. They relieved the first sacker for the good of the cause, but his successor was not so successful in the juices and for the life again. Heaps the largest crowd that has ever been in the park gathered on the Fourth. The sun was hot, but the snow was cold. The team played so stretched and drank in every minute of the game. It was an evidence of how baseball is valued, and of course encouraging to managers. The score When Sullivan fought Ryan in New Orleans years ago, it was the game's $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. EEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for noxious delirium, lack of vigor, weakened manhood and weakness—without back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many wounds and nervous men right up to wounds—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his power and virility, quickly and quietly would have a copy. So I have determined that I can provide a prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who writes me for it. This invention comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the suresting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to ask them a copy in confidence, so that anywhere who is weak and discouraged drugging himself with harmful patient encounters, secure what I believe is the need for restoring, upbuilding, SPOTTING, NENREY remedy, once既受照和 so cure him quickly. Just drop me a line like this: E. Robinson, 3831 Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of this letter, ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to for merely writing out a presentation like this—but I send it entirely free. glory that was sung. Men looked on. McCarty was a Sullivan. He wore McCarty and Pe Brocchi; they were wild about them. In this day thousands wish to be a Sullivan. In that day they wished to be a Sullivan. McCarty has destroyed the game's flavor. But let us see what the writer referred to has to give out, as it pertains stricty blah blah, the theme on which I started out. The Record, of Philadelphia, in an article about the Negro in sports, said in part: I said prejudice had much to do with the black man's sport condition. This, of course, means competition, preference for the best equipment and operation of prejudice. As I said at another time, this condition cuts off black men from the big money. Our race is not a matter of money, it is unable to do so. On the Fourth of July in this city a fight was staged at the Arena park, which is the baseball ground, the baseball game was announced that those wishing to stay for the fight could do so by paying 75 cents; for the other 250, it was announced that there was an immediate howl. The management at once cut the prices to 50 and 25 cents. But this did not change the situation. It was ready paid 25 and 50 cents for the baseball game. It was thought by some the admission should have been as low as 25 cents, but much better part of the 1,200 would have stayed. It was the Fourth of July when many were out for a good time, they did not want it at fancy figures. Of course, 25 cents was a miserably low price for a seat at a prize fight, but the quantity of the entertainment has grown. The audience of theaters were not rare, nor of great reputation. Most of them had been seen in the last twelve months. It means that the business has been overdone, maybe. People do no care to see a prize fight, but the business is what's been doing in this city. Boxing matches have been not further than two weeks apart. The keen edge has been worked out, the business has become a fight is gone. This same thing is nearly general throughout the country, consequently the business has become more gameness, which the true sport lover so much likes to see. Through the spirit of the game by its generalness has made it hard for colored men. I say once more that the Negro in sport is all right if the Negroes who look on are all right. True enough, he has done in the past. Like the Negroes on the stage, the sporting people, the fighters will have to be content with purses made up mainly by their own people. We are not pointing to a pointing since we find ourselves more and more thrown on our own resources for the greater things. More and more are our own kind prices that are not beggarly as they have been in the past. As to the white man's games and pots of gold we are growing beautifully less. We are own games we have simple opportunity and some means to show up for them. BOMBARDIER WELLS SCORES.

RITCHIE WINS OVER MEXICAN WITH KNOCKOUT. The battle opened with both men eased around left no choice, but in the second third and fourth rounds the Mexican was tigerishly aggressive and punished blows to the face and body, several of which hstaggered Ritchie and caused unintended force to the cleanse rallied in the fifth and thereafter displayed true championship form. He met the Southerner's wild rushes and forced the face which cut deeply and easily blocked or evaded the poorly timed swings, many of which were far wide Ritchie Confident The champion fairly beamed with confidence as the fight progressed. In the left eye and in the following round cut his face severely with a volley of snap shots, and in the following round pressure ultimate defeat for the Chailenger, a left uppercut to the chin, which lifted him from the floor, causing him to send him to the mat. The eleventh and final round had scarcely opened when Ritchie's right shot out our straight from the shoulder, and the champion's left foot sent him to the mat. Nine seconds were toled off before the almost helpless champion's left foot reached the champion's left found the Mexican's stomach and a right uppercut reached the fallen pugilist's jaw, sending him prostrate. The battle was fought under perfect weather conditions in the open and was covered by 200 persons, and the champion accounted $30,000. WELLS HIS OLD SELF AGAIN. Knocks Out Mahoney in Thirteer Rounds in London. LONDON—Bombardier Wells, champion of Great Britain, and one of the greatest players in the world, came into his own for a few brief moments at the National Sporting Club of London, where he knocked out Mahoney, of Cork, in thirteenth round. The rangy Wells stepped around Mahoney, shooting home a bewildering variety of left-hand jabs and bolts to the right, and then to the left, and the Corkian's best efforts availed him nothing. He stood off and tried to meet Mahoney at his own game, foolishly trying to outbox him. Had he thrown science to the four winds, rushing in and fight-tight, he would have won for Wells had he never shown the ability to stand up before a rugged boxer with a punch. Slowly but surely Mahoney was worn down, and a right hand jaw finally dropped him for the count. Mahoney's jaw was fractured in the first half, was transferred to a hospital after the fight, in which he made a poor showing. Bombardier Wells boxed three battles in this country. On his first appearance he was knocked out by Al Palzer when he was hit by a quarter after a sensational fight, but made a favorable impression that he was matched with Tom Kennedy, whom he defeated in eight rounds. He returned to the field and met "Gumboat" Smith, who also knocked him out. Wells lasting only two rounds with the hard hitting marine. Only a few weeks ago Georges Arnold knocked Wells out in three rounds. JOHNSON TRICKED INTO BIG MATCH. Clever Promoter Mcintosh Played on Negro's Streak of Superstition to Get Signature—Negroes Poor Man and Dressed by Varying Goin Demonstrations. (By W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO—Hugh D. McIntosh, erstwhile fight promoter in Australia and no wheat of a large crop, has been able to deal with world-famous colored heavyweight when in San Francisco recently. Great deal of what "Mac" had to relate brought very little of pleasant recollections to him, but there were a few incidents of his business connections with the darker which caused the antipodean showman grim broadly. When McIntosh, who was in London at the time, was the idea taking Jack Johnson to Australia to box Tommy Burns for - the world's championship, it did not take the promoter long to discover that he had a Johnson Loved Gay Life. Johnson, who was spending his time sitting between London and Paris, was eager to meet at the championship, but he hated to leave the flashpots of England and the wine cups of gay bars. He pointed at the point of signing contracts and articles several times, but he always contrived to deter them and finally gave serious thoughts of abandoning his project. One particular day matters looked for Johnson. McIntosh had placed things in such a light that Johnson seemed ready to sign up and the pair jumped into a cab and started where the McIntosh's hawey, where the papers were sitting and everything was to be settled. Played on Jack's Superstition. Here is how McIntosh tells the balance of the story. "What know, is very superstitious. He is a great believer in hunches and hoodoos and all that kind of thing. 'Wag' our way through Jack street to make a cut and Jack spied a fortune teller's sign. Hold on Mac" he said. "I'm going to have my fortune told." I was annoyed because I scented an other delay, but I made up my mind to try to humor him and not let him out of my sight. I therefore said that the fortune telling idea we were all once told in things I insisted on having mine told first. I went into the curtained recess with the lady with the red turban, bangles and earrings and said quickly, "What is your future in life? Peer into my future the least bit, but there's a colored外包 inside who needs a sea voyage. You understand? Or for you. See that he takes the voyage. "When Jack came out I asked him what he said, "Oh, Jack said, a lot of bunk about fame and fortune waiting for me across the sea. I don't suppose it was funny, but I'm going to take the trip anyhow." "He signed articles that afternoon." Good One on McVea. McIntosh had one to on Sam McVea. The Nerro fighter named comes from Oxford, in the California sugar industry, and of his pugilistic career in Paris. He went to Australia from France a few months before he landed in Langford so many times that the public out that way has lost count of the score. That McVean-Langford match took place at Brisbane and was a losing venture for both Negroes. Australia he had trouble figuring out money. He had become used to French money and could not learn the pounds, shillings and pence system of the British colonies. McVea Easy Financier For his fight at the Rushcutter's battle, McVea's percentage was 1,500.4 pounds. When told the amount he remarked: "When I told you, so much. so much. I get more for a match in Peeps." "When I explained to him that each English pound was worth over a score of francs he could not grasp the immeasurable over with delight and started out on a high old time, spending the money he had with his trainers to spend his after one of the famous four-round seances in Madison Square Garden a full week of century ago, a full week of century ago, his trainers drank nothing but champagne, they even had tt at breakfast, said Marianne.
