CURRENT NEWS OF CHICAGO (By J. G. Robinson, D. D. Whenever we see the words "Echoes from my den," instantly we think of a little, tall, raw, bony man way over yon-pon, reading one echo we begin to take a kind of fluttering at the heart, or a sort of uneasiness comes over us, fearing that he may have advanced. An dhose of us who are writers are not satisfied until we have read one echo we begin to take a kind of destiny must be hovering over him and bonys him up to write those echoes. Mr. Denzel Man, and I guess the hand of destiny must be hovering over him and somehow he leaves all parties guessing when he is through.

I do not want to be a man, but there is something wrong somewhere. I venture the assertion that I should have a church since the last annual conference that of the Wifierforce and Shorter men in Arkansas put together. Let the church have contradictions if you can. I'll make sure I have a church in evangelical meetings more members than any other one man in the connection. Come out with your dates, places and events.

Theological majors, diploma went back to the backwoods of Mississippi and started his ministerial career by walking twenty and thirty miles and preaching and consistent efforts he marched steadily to the forefront, and today he is one of the connection's strongest pastors. Dr. C. M. Tanner is another one of those men of destiny. He has mastered conditions in both the east and the south, also among people whose feelings, customs are as varied as are the people of Pittsburgh, Atlanta and West Africa, can do any work anywhere in the church.

HAGENBECK-WALLACE SHOWS In Indianapolis Monday, August 18—Some Glimpses of the Offerings—Something of Inside Workings. All of the animal acts with the Carl Hagenbeck and great Wallace circus are imported to this country from the famous Hagenbeck animal farm at Hamburg, Germany. Germany has many pet animals, with the big pet this year, which comes to Indianapolis, Monday, August 18, for performances at 2 in the morning. The baboon is probably the closest approach to the human race. Dr. Darwin really the missing links and his research work, which took place in the Hagenbeck winter quarters in Germany, covered a performance of the two troupes of baboon actors with the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus this season. One is handed by Mons. They are dressed up as human beings and trainers, using the knife and fork better than a good many children. They even surpass human beings in some cases for they wash their teeth after bathing. One of the monks has his private automobile. He rides to the stage where members of the monastery play the then goes through his performance, which consists of dancing with several members of the monastery, playing the saxophone, ticking the keyboard and a little acrobatic exercise. The monk does not like the latter and he can only be made to do enough to keep in mind. The twenty-six educated monkeys with the circus put on a regular circus performance by their kinfikols which they can not duplicate. Before the monkeys performed by their Kaiser Wilhelm and his family in the royal palace at Berlin. The "cook tent" is one of the marvels to tom for many years for the management to send its employees to the local "city" hotels for their food. The undertaking for the grounds was so stupendous that the best regulated show hesitated to make the essay. Finally, the objections to the grounds was so stupendous that the demands were necessary. As circuses grew in size, the combined efforts of hotels and the demands thrust upon them. B. E. Wallace was the first circus man to carry a complete commissary department and other shows followed by pursuit. Advance men now see that all needs of the commissary department are supplied by the requirements await the hands of a dozen chefs. There are two separate and distinct culinary departments with the Haunch of the Hammers and the Indianapolis, Monday, August 18, for performances at 2 and 8 p. m. One is occupied by the workmenk, whose domestics are the workmen, whose assistants are raised and all the paraphernula is on the lot. This is a wise idea which insures prompt and hard work. The executive staff, performers, men, women and children of the circus. There are neat tablecloths and china dishes. There are tables and chairs. What thing that is supplied in the dining room of the best metropolitan hotel. The food is cooked in the open and it has been served in abundance, and a happier, heartier body never did more justice to a meal. Skillful waiters, neatly attired and well dressed, seek the first to be raised. in the morning, they are necessarily the lying squadron at night, that breakfast be served at 7 o'clock the following day, hundred miles away in another state.

Roberts, the Baker Man. Have you ever been to Boley? If you have not, you have, of course, heard of this prosperous town out in Oklahoma. It has some three thousand inhabitants—it is one of the largest towns in it. It has banks, first class dry goods stores, drug stores, grocery stores, cotton gins, steam laundries, bottling works, paved roads, a railroad system. It is on the main line of a railroad. The ticket agent, telegraph operator and other persons connected with the business of the railroad in Boley are all familiar with it. It has often been said that on considerable number of Negroes could live together without disorder, strife and lawlessness. It is the universal testimony of the white traveling salesmen that Boley is one of the most orderly towns in Oklahoma. In fact, the town has no need for constables. Although he has been in business but a few years, he has accumulated consider- able experience in the bakery town. The access of Roberts in the bakery business is an example of what can be done along this route. Roberts has been a Negroes have an opportunity much greater than that they had in the field of catering twenty to fifty years ago in northern Oklahoma, and now in the world, just so long must they be fed. There will always be a demand for bakeries. In the South in the next few years Roberts will be ever for them. Here is the opportunity for him who will take advantage of it. The bakery business also demonstrates the value of learning one of the many trades which are taught at Tuskegee Institute. If he is interested in a stead of having a business netting him from $1,200 to $1,500 a year, be a day laboree earning only three or four hundred dollars. BOOKER T.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, AUG. 16, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION So Philadelphia or Baltimore. Take your choice. Why not take both of them in? The Republican and Democrat inde- pends have concluded that Dr. William H. Johnson, Progressive candidate for mayor, was good enough for them. Since we come to think a Negro had the distinction of being Register of the Treasury before an Indian—more than one. Give poor Loo a show; it is his first effort at office holding. The Mexican government is on its dignity as it concerns President Wilson's special representative, John Lind. It smacks of the punctillo of the erstwhile old world diplomacy. The appointment of Dr. George Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., as minister to Liberia, Africa, is a good one. Dr Buckner is spoken of commendingly at his home and elsewhere that he is known. We congratulate him as much on his determination to accept the post as for the honor conferred on him. George L. Knox, of the Freeman, has been asked to become a member of the advisory council of commission appointed by his excellency, the Governor of Illinois, to conduct the National Half-Century Anniversary of Negro freedom. He will accept the honor, and will do his best to have the commission prove its worth of the honor thrust on it. According to the program the exposition will be held in 1915. If the jingoes and big land owners are shouting for war with Mexico they should be made to bear its brun in event it comes. It was little Peterkin who wanted to know what it was all about when old Caspar told him of the famous victory. It would be just so with those who would have to fight in the event of war. They would not know what it was about. Let the peace movement grow in reality as well as on paper. Governor Sulzer, of New York, may wobble out of his trouble all right. He has possessed a splendid friend to the old folks, and he has hidden a multitude of faults. Not that we hold that he is guilty of the charges against him. They are foreign to his duties as Governor, being if sustained, merely personal faults of an individual. No effort here is even meant to make less of the charges. They are gross in effect, so gross that we hope the Governor will succeed in getting away from them. And then when the half century of freedom anniversaries are over, bear in mind that the three hundredth and ninety of the Negro presence in the United States will be in 1919. We are the foremost Negroes of the world. Will we celebrate? If so its none too early to get to thinking. By the way, Indianapolis is the most central spot in all the land for an exposition. Too early? Let us see. Boston has already chosen the year 1920 for herself to the celebration of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers. According to the report of a young engineer of Lexington, Ind., who recently returned from Haiti, presenting arms when ordered to do so, the military escort to the body of Tan crede Auguste, president of Haiti aimed their rifles at the coffin and riddled it with bullets. "The shooting," he said, "occurred in the Cathedral of St. Mary, Mr Kemp said, at the conclusion of a funeral service of great solemnity and in the presence of hundreds of persons. Mr. Kemp was one of a party of Americans who attended the funeral. The church was thrown into an up roar and the funeral throng fled in panis." The canal will open in October so they say. Our Theodore hopes to preside at the opening and thus go down in history in intimate relation with the most colossal undertaking by man. Well he made the Panama possible. Some criticised his method when he cut the Gordion Knot rather than worry with disentangling it. But the colonel will stand out just the same, for making the canal possible. It was but human to wish to stand at the fins, thus making for imperishable fame as the great work is imperishable. Ambition, however, is not confined. If Mr. Roosevelt did not reach his ambition's summit, nevertheless he ascended very high, and measuring the height by the depths of other men he should be greatly pleased. Not much comfort comes of the fact that the Maryland court of appeals decided that the West segregation ordinance for Baltimore was unconstitutional. The court gave the opinion that mayor and city council of Baltimore have the power and authority to pass a segregating ordinance which can stand the test of the law. The court said the law is temporarily defeated only, and that the law making body of that city has only to make a "perfect" law in order to bring about what it has striven so hard to do. The opinion, doubtless, chills the hope of the Baltimore Negroes who have worked hard to sidetrack the civil iniquity. It may be that the "perfect" ordinance will never be. It cannot be by all that is right and proper. NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The National Negro Press Association also meets in Philadelphia this year, the session convening a few days previous to the National Negro Business League meeting. Here follows the authoritative call: By order of the President, Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Washington, D. C., and the chairman of the Executive Committee, Mr. N. B. Hodson, of 309 Berriman St., Brooklyn, New York, you are hereby called to meet the National Negro Press Association in annual session, at 10 o'clock A. M. Monday, August 18th, at the Cherry Street Memorial Baptist church, Philadelphia, Pa. The meeting will be held from the 18th on the 19th inclusive. All periodicals, publications and individuals having qualified by the payment of $1.00 as annual fee on or before the meeting is called, will be allowed a voice in the proceedings as full fledged members. Matters of great importance affecting the Negro newspapers, publishers, correspondents, editors, and managers will be taken up for consideration. A full report of the officers of the pass year will be made. If you find it impossible to be present, then send your credentials or proxy by some member of the Association, that you may be required to attend. If qualified will have this last opportunity to do so by sending to the corresponding secretary $1.00. The Executive Committee will meet at the Cherry Street Memorial Baptist church on Christian St, at 8:30 A.M. Monday morning, August 18th. A report of the officers will be made with some recommendations to the association this year. Henry A. Boyd, secretary. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE The National Negro Business League will meet in its Fourteenth annual session at Philadelphia, Aug. 20-22. The league has become well known for its efforts and accomplishments. Results have followed the annual meetings, and which have been held in various cities. Wherever the meetings have been held the kindlest interest has been manifested by the mayors and other officials. This was due to the good reports that have gone out from the meetings from time to time. The object has been to encourage in always possible those men and women who are interested in spending their own money in order to be at the annual meetings. Philadelphia has voted $5,000 to be spent in making it pleasant for the visitors. As it is well known Dr. Booker T. Washington is the presiding genius of the National Negro Business League meeting, and has been since the organization took form. He has injected much of the spirit which has made for his splendid Tuskegee. He has the work at heart, plays no favorite, giving opportunity to those able and worthy. This has reference to the program which is seen elsewhere in this issue. Yearly, from here and there, his committee selects individuals, men and women who have made success in their business. These give others the advantage of their experiences through talks along their line. The program this year promises to be more eventful than that of last year. Philadelphia is putting herself on record as a city of hospitality. White and colored people have made arrangement to care for the strangers within their gates in a fine manner. Everything bids fair to make the meeting a great success. We might add that Dr. Washington is ably assisted by an executive board, members of which are chosen from the various states. The other officials are no less active and influential to the end that successful meetings are brought about. DR. BUCKNER FOR LIBERIA The appointment of Dr. George W. Buckner as minister to Liberia seems assured. William J. Bryan, secretary of state, has sent his name to President Wilson who, as it is understood, will send his name to the senate for confirmation. Dr. Buckner was born in Green county, Kentucky, in 1856, of slave parents, and was a slave. After the civil war he went to Indianapolis, where he attended the public schools, working his way. Later he went to the State Normal school at Terre Haute, where he was a student two years. He returned to Indianapolis and was graduated from Eclectic Medical School in 1890. Dr. Buckner came to Evansville soon afterward. He a wife and several children and they will accompany him to his post in Africa. Dr. Buckner says he can recall the time when he was the only Negro in Evansville aliated with the Democratic party. The appointment which was conceded Dr. Buckner several weeks ago seems to meet general approval. This has in mind particularly the Negro Democrats and the colored people as a whole. The Negro Democrats see in the appointment the recognition of their efforts, while the Negroes generally are pleased to see that the administration shows some signs of consideration for the race. However, the appointment of a white man to succeed Dr. Furniss as minister to Haiti is not so assuring that the Negroes will get much comfort of the Wilson administration. Really the appointing of a white man as successor to Dr. Furniss is rather alarming. It could mean that the post is held to be of too much importance, monetary or otherwise, to go to a Negro. If so then its goodbye to race prospects for big office at Washington, D. C. The only hope against this possible conclusion is that it may have been thought that the appointment was with long detail of possibilities, this in view of the numerous candidates, which of course was owing to value and prominence of the plum. Such men as Bishop Walters and Prof. DuBois were said to be among the many candidates. New York furnished two or three prominent candidates. Indiana presented Drs. Oliver and Buckner. Other states are yet to be heard from, none of which but had its Village Hampden, perhaps, and who feel able to take care of the job. Dr. Buckner from indications, will accept the Liberian post in event of confirmation, notwithstanding the Haiti We think of him as being fortunate even at that, in view of the rather discouraging outlook for good offices. The administration has our good opinion provided the appointment of Dr. Buckner is in earnest of a further effort to have the Negroes feel that they are a part of the nation in the better sense. Too much is not expected of a Democratic situation, looking at it in a political way. Yet something of a good substantial nature should come off at Washington, D. C., some good appointment as a matter of keeping faith with the Negroes who have learned to gauge their political and civil standing largely by what is done at Washington. friends will ever miss her.

Donifer leaves for a six month visit in Colorado, Illinois and other points. Mr. and Mrs. M. Flynn take this means of expressing her gratitude to one and all who so generously assisted them since the burning of their home and its contents. It just didn't look right to the people who come to the Fort to not go to the temple on arriving and at the close of each session groups could be seen standing around there. The boys, young and old, like to be in Ninth and Jones streets, somehow. Well, I don't, because the bulk of Negro business places are to welcome you with good cheer. Dr. R. T. Hamilton, grand medical examiner of the endowment department and Household of Ruth, made one of the best horses that was ever made to any grand lodge that was mentioned in the medical examination. It showed that 2,888 persons had been examined during the year that number, 300 were rejected. The doctor mentioned in the medical examination grand lodge because of his genial manner to one and all. There are others, of course,—but. District Grand Secretary, G. W. Jackson reported $5,001.02; grand total orphan's home funds, $3,061.75, and made arringing appeal for the business right. There were many visitors in each session. A law should be passed that a substantial fee be charged to every delegate to take a part in these amusements not fully represent them in these parades and also on the lodge which sends the delegate. It is a reflection on you to not keep up with the times. When The Freeman is close to you as your pocketbook is, if you wish it write J. G.

Persons living at Fort Worth who have receipts for subscriptions for this paper, the preman, should take up the matter with the preman, or with the papers mailed to your address, or see Mr. Chas, R.

A bank of flowers marks the place of her burial. The services were largely attended and the man D. N. J. Kohn, pastor of St. Paul M.

To say that the people in Dallas are not becoming interested in the well-drilled tactician and military evolutions would be a bad idea, but the Fairview park coliseum last Monday night. They were there to see for themselves and they did. The boys all looked their best, and we trust that the guests enjoyed themselves.

The kids were in the Cincinnati kid in the fourth round on the scheduled ten. Kid Ash is short and stocky. The middleweights mixed it from the first round. Ash kept its feet every second of the tangle. Ash kept driving away at Field's middle section and finally got the latter's guard and then left and left hook and slow music for Fields. Ash made a tremendous hit with his aggressive tactics and was showered with handclasses after he had stowed his opponent away.

Mr. Foster used Gatewood and Lindsey before the home boys were knocked skyward. Taylor redeemed the reputation for the Giants at this particular game.

Barry's team was the second team, the ball home to Petway, ten feet from the base and dove in time to put a man out. It was one of the most sensational games seen in the league.

Extra Hours Iuesday and Saturday evenings 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Of Unbroken Progress IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mo- saic Templars of America. LOCATED IN Little Rock, Ark. This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars. Substantial Proof of Reliability Failures and frauds have been so numerous in organizations of this character that the public is naturally skeptical. We cite you the following evidences of our reliability, and same may be verified by spending a little time investigating: The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock, Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the order's surplus funds, and no extra building tax or assessment has been levied upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage of, because the order has always had sufficient funds to meet its claims whenever proof of death is made. Our Endowment department is national and has been inspected from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show: A Lesson in Figures Rates per Year and Benefits Paid. Men's Department, $11.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $5 per week; burial, $50. Women's Department, $8.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $2 per week; burial, $50 Children's Department, $1.85 per year; endowment, $50; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial, $20. The above rates include all taxes, local lodge, state and Supreme Grand Lodges. The endowment policies of $300 are graded and payable as follows: Should death occur during the first twelve calendar months, $100; after the first twenty-four calendar months, $200; after the first thirty-six calendar months, $200. Local Lodge Divisions The order operates in four divisions, and charter, fees for organizing new lodges are as follows: Temples for adult males, cost of charter, $15; Chambers for adult female masters, charter, $10; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. For instance an organizer would set up a temple of $20 each that would amount to $120. His charter would cost $15, leaving him a net profit of $105. We are anxious to engage active young men and women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas. This offer will not remain open indiscretely, and you had better write today for terms. Address all communications to J. E. BUSH, N. G. S., Box 36 Little Rock, Ark. Wm. Alexander, N. G. M., 504½ W.

Williams and Mark went big; Edie Rector received his share of the awards, and the band alone is the answer for the success they are having throughout the East. Last half, Bob Condon, the Music Director, began reeling in her classic songs, which brought for her rounds of applause. Gray and Broadenax, a very funny band made themselves favorites for the band, Delia Lepine tried themselves. This was another great act which we expect to see on the big time some day, if they will only stick to Lafayette Theater Rudolph and Darre, in a sporting sketch, called the greatest novelty of the day, was a big success. The Four Tango of 10, 40-West, a comedy-playlet, was another big hit. Muriel Ringgold, character comedienne, and one we all knew well years ago, was a tremendous big success, even though she was very severe cold the better part of the week, but being a game little woman she worked just the same and pleased the many hungers. Steerman and Warner, a comedy piano act, the last half, Alco and Mitchell, on account of a serious accident, did not appear. At the last moment Bennett and she worked together and they did a great act. Following them the Hillmans, two clever entertainers. They sing, talk, dance and act well. They were the first of former days, interested one. Muriel Ringgold was engaged for the week and was as big a card the last half as she was the first. Texico, sensation of the show, took them big. This closed the show. Crescent Theater. Leonce Lazzo did well here. Washburn and Piper went nicely. Four Furry Dixons went big. Last half, Henry Nelson and his violin pleure. The champagne, the wine, the food, any one in the audience had brought a glass with them, as he would eat it, showing that there was no trickery attached to his work. The exhibition given by him was a big one, and the dancers were a big thing for the last four days. She should be proud of this act. Fifty-Ninth Street Theater Chinest Walker went nicely here. J. Johnson did well. Johnson and Britton did a real nice act, and the pictures were very good. Family Theater The Chicago Trio opened this bill and went very good. The trio consists of two ladies and a gentleman. They arrived a few days prior to their opening at the Family theater, from Canada, off the Griffin Street. The girls, Natalie Washburn and Piper did nicely. Nicholas and Logan again cleaned up. The entire week's bill was good. Pioneer Theater Gray and Gray, eccentric dancers and singers, did fairly well. Gains and Davis, comedy singing and dancing, act went best with the talented artists, did well. Well, Keyes went big here. They will do well and soon become a great act if they will only stick together. Atlantic City — Palace Theater. The Griffin Sisters headed the bill all week here and added big. Browney went nicely. Last half, Griffin Sisters went nicely. Mr. Frank Williams caught the audience nicely with its work, and Browney again. This week, Williams and Stevens are heading the bill. Harry Brown's Southland Jubilee Stock Company at the Lafayette Harry Brown's Southland Stock Company, headed by Muriel Ringgold, DeLions and Jeffries, opened Monday at the Lafayette theater for a run.

Prof. Scot Joplin, the rag time king, has completed a deal with Manager Niburon for the production of a opera, Freecomon, with the boys. The latter part of September or the first of October. Hiss address is 252 West 47th street. He can use good singers, but state the boy can sing. This opera company will number thirty. AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN. Tim E. Owlesy, Prop. Not much need be said by way of the coreword for this week's bill at the Crown Garden, a good one on the splendid acts. If the wizard, is keeping up the good work, maintaining the occasion of the Crown Garden theater as the theme of the Margie Crosby, the Girl with a Jew Face. The girl with a Jewish face is a reality. And she's good to see—a finished song, a spiral Jones," which is done with dass and pleasing movement. She comes back with her Crown Garden, the Midsh- Hebrew impersonation. She shears as a performer, doing the stunt equal to similar work seen on the best stages. She works in her own way, giving a beautiful dramatic song recital. She does a bit of monologue, proving quite a comedienne, only really with fact there is no better single lady performer on the stage. She was formerly of Scott and Crosby. Her wardrobe is Goodloe and Delk. They sing "Bumble Bee" with voices notated or harmony. Goodloe is a splenen- Criswell and Bailey. Chenault and Martin Lawrence Chenault and Daisy Martin. This class team is that, class. The work of Miss Martin is particularly good. Her skills are as pretty as they are, as is pretty as may well be imagined. She gives full play to her spirit making a most pleasing stage figure. Her steps are as graceful as they are, as is pretty as may well be imagined. She is a well-known performer. His Italian impersonation is good. He has a splendid singing voice, lacking perseverance. His music is good. Their dancing is notable. EL MORE MERRIWEATHER.

Act 1—The Green Trio, in Fun, Frolic and Foolishness, arrived in our midst and took the audience to the trio singing "Going to Carolina," which went big. This was the second hit of the evening, "Million Dollar Doll," hits on the market, by Maurice Abrahams Music Company, of New York. This song was the third hit by Green, Mr. Green, both receiving the thirteenth applause of the jammed house. They were accured several times. This was followed by "The Green Trio," by Green, went big, "Ghost of the Folk," closed this excellent act. The Ragals, called the emperor of extemporaneity, took his title in grand style, and scored a knockout. He is some monologologist and is a man of his way.

Then followed a line of his tourist tales that kept Act 3.—The Royal Hawaiian Duo, compose, tossa josella Tyler and Mr. Gerwond, render a song that is appropriate era that a treat to everybody who loves good music. Mme. Tyler's voice seems to be her best visit. Garwond, Heart," as rendered by the duo, went big and brought expressions of delight and audience.

(By Ray C. Pearson.) When a prise fighter gaing the top- tung of the ladder in the particilar di- vision to which he belongs, he Is praised and feted by those who follow the sport Of pusilism, He is called the greatest that ever climbed through the ropes and on every hand he is boosted for the ability he has displayed in makin: his fight from the bottom to the top. ‘That has been the history of champion making for years, and the chances are there will be no change In the system. No credit should be taken away from the hoy who by cleverness or hard hitting has made a success of the fighting game. ‘That all belonss to him. But does all the credit really belong to. the successful fenter? ‘That question was asked of a local fighter the other day, and the answer was in the negative, for the fighter in question has views of his own which Ne is willing to vole whether or not any of the credit. for his own success ts taken from himself, ‘The following statement from him will be Interesting to the fight fans: “T believe that the success of most of the pugilists who have reached ‘the ton tank is due to the fact that they had 400d manager, “one who could’ pitot the malong, not only with the box office returns in consideration, but with. the protection of the hoxer as the most im- portant thin.” ‘The position of manager to a success- ful boxer never has been one that won great praise for the simple reason that his light was “hidden winder a bushel,” Because of tho ereater Halo surmountine the puzilist himeeit, ut when all things are taken into consideration tt Is. more than evident that the manaxer has been of far greater Importance to the fihter than he ever had been given credit for. | Johnny Coulon, world's champion ban- tamwelzht, ix one of the boys who has reached the top, and incidentally. he. is ‘one of the fighters who is willing to give fe Tanager the credit ‘dat: Peal! be longs to him. Tt go happens that little Conlon had something more than a man- ager when he made hie successful. ad- Vance from a mere nothing in pugilism to the ‘championship throne, the. only manager he ever had being his father, Emil Coulon. Coulon, pater, died a cou- ple of vears ago, and Johnay has been going it along ever since. Of course, it is only natural that the champion should ive his father a lot of credit’ for making him champion, but Tohnny does not lay all his success to the fatherly interest taken in him. He conceded a considerable amount to. the astute manazement, for young Coulon does not helieve that ‘any boxer, ever had. the good fortune to have a better manager than his father, which goes to Accentuate the fact that “smart” man- Axers are essential to the success of the boys in the ring. Coulon's case was one where careful management was necessary. When he first began boxing as an amateur, he was a rough. hard hitung kid, and’ not Overburdened with the science of the game. Father Coulon was quick to see that he needed some pointers, particular- ly. those in’ the defensive end of the game. So he got George Siler, one of the greatest referees in the ring, who also is numbered among those who have “passed.” to help the Kid. Siler liked ulttle Johnny, and every Sunday after- hoon at Siler's home the referee and the kid donned the gloves. Johnny was quick to learn and it wasn't long before F ZS. FREE CATALOGUE!
