Judge Kavanaugh It was O'Connell who said, "If the Irish were continually persecuted they would be persecuted into greatness." Not only did Judge Kavanaugh give the Superior Court because of conditions similar to the Negro felt keenly and appreciated the deeply wounded heaped upon him because of racism people, and it was this feeling that led Judge Kavanaugh to self so forcibly and manly in an address before the Irish Fellowship Club at the University of Chicago. "Not only did Judge Kavanaugh speaks of the wrong done the Negro, but he suggested and recommended constructive means to this awful race prejudice the Negro in the University of Chicago. All of the daily papers spoke of the address, but as usual gave it a small space. The Chicago Journal gives the occasion." "Ten million, Necroes of the United States are crying out for simple justice, according to Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, an attorney for the Irish Fellowship Club at the Hotel La Salle recently, who recommended the appointment of a commission by Congress to look into the question of 'awful prejudice against the Negro race' and report back a plan for certification. This committee, together with the most fearful tragedy of 'justice', "This country must do something with the increase in the number of the Negro incarcerate, each decade; the cure for the situation is the simple, fine old remedy of justice. How much have we freed the Negro? He is unable to engage in any wage-earning employee carriage or to put a Negro in the same carriage. There is not a great store that dares employ a Negro behind the counter. There is not a street car company that can put a Negro in the same carriage. "Let a Negro get employment as a brickmaker, electrician, bookkeeper at equal wage and the white men will quit striking the place. "Want you to own up and family in a decent, honorable and high-minded Negro and his family. The time has come when the big brained men and women of this country must do something." The American Negro in finding so stunach a friend and supporter in the person of Judge Kavannah is to be conquered by the white men whose veins are so full of red blood that it forces him to speak his true words. The Negro has cause to feel elated over what the judge has said, because it is a positive step in the adjustment of the rest of the Negro community coming from so great a man, representing the entire Irish race, will no doubt have its effect. The Freeman represents the Negro on the following day to see the speech and he had only one typewritten, and the editor of the Chicago Defender got it, which he wrote with great hope that every reader of the Freeman will read and digest that part of the address when he says that he should be given employment and urge our white Mrs. Ida Johnson Dies.

Brown's Chances. (By Melville Perdue, 1219 W. Chestnut Street.) Mary. Mrs Shawler has announced the marriage of her daughter Carrie Loraine to Mr. Thomas Manier. The wedding took place Tuesday, September 23, 1913. Madame Preston is entertaining extensively throughout the city, is extending her interest in the recitals as being given quite an ovation wherever she appears. It is very seldom that the citizens of London are excused by stenosis that rank with Madame Preston, and we consider it quite a privilege to have her in our midst. Rev William Ford, London, England, a graduate from Metropolitan University, London, England, was through this week to visit the University of Porto Rico and is in the United States merely on a sight-seeing tour. He is seeing America for the first time. Dr. Ford was very anxious to meet him, and gave to him a message from their bredren across the seas, but owing to his engagements could not stay over any longer than to adhere to the schedule of the University in their campel exercises. Prof. Hayson of Washington, D. C., is sojourning in our city for a few days. He is a writer and artist in England as an America. The city is enjoying this feast of intellectual giants, such as Dr. Ford and Rev. Hayson, who have favored us enough to keep in touch. The Ladies' Lilac Embroidery Club was entertained at Mrs. Annie Booker's residence, 1948 Cedar street, last Friday. The moon, the stars, and the decorated colors of the club.

Sellers, Miss Hinton, Miss Laura Hopkins, Mrs. Nancy Phillips, Mrs. Susie Mitchell and other ladies, who enjoyed themselves to the nigh- The Perry Centennial is over and we colored people are glad. The city was beautifully illuminated and the fireworks and patriotic arches are to be seen. The centennial was a failure because it lacked accurate historical prejudice, race prejudice, is a little thin and is the centennial as a Perry Centennial, yet it did. Colored people were denied admission to the Centennial and were granted a grand parade, the committee giving as their reason for not admitting them that the Afro-American had no part in the celebration, naturally the celebration. Every colored child, no matter how small, knows better, yet the exalted centennial committee seemed ignorant of the fact. Louisville is now in the midst of a registration, with Lee L. Brown, a candidate, and the native figure in the Tenth ward, Mr. Brown is running. The first day's registration is Democratic, Progressives, 571; Republicans 48. Independents, 171. The only get all of the Republican votes, the only part of the Pride and independents. There was a run here this week on one of the local banks. The Kentucky Savings Bank, the number colored banks have a money deposited, paid every person who called for their money and has its doors still open. Dr. E. E. Underwood passed through the city en route from Frankfort to St. Louis, Mo., to attend to some business regarding the Pythian Lodge. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor of the Navy, is scheduled to speak at the Y. M. Navy Business Lodge. OMITTED PORTION OF DR. BOOK ER T. WASH. NASH- R. SPEECH. To the Editor Indianapolis Freeman. As is often the case, I find that my recent address behest led me to the Napoli口袋 Nashville I omitted most important part. May I take advantage of your generosity to state that which I meant to have said in Nashville? Our race suffers immensely because of the constant repression and mistrust, pretense and postseason bias in our cases, when any member of our race is mentioned in any of the crimes committed against individual, or because of crime committed directly or indirectly by that individual. crucial, should seek to overcome this hurtful influence by having in every community an organized and social and literary organizations that shall have for its object putting into the daily press accounts of the programs, activities, religious and so-called directions. Some individual should be appointed in every community whose duty it is to give advice by week in concrete, readable form the news concerning our race that indicates our progress in constructive directions; the news concerning our criminal absence of the constant repetition of news relating alone to Negro crime. I am convinced that the daily press in the majority of cases of criminal absence of something better. We cannot rely upon the reporters of the daily press to get this news; we must prepare it and give it directly to them. In all my experience in connection with the public press I have never seen a case where a reporter was so well and widely reported as was true of the National Baptist Convention recently held in Nashville had a collection of papers in Nashville had a colored reporter present at all the sessions of the convention, and the colored reporter present at all the newspapers that they wanted, in some cases four and five columns were printed for them. His regard due to credit should be given to the colored men who are making a business of reporting the process of coloration, and the credit should be given to the persistent and worthy band of young colored men who, where they have been designated as regular and paid reporters on the daily press. We should have such a reporter on the public press to help immensely to change public opinion. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. held Friday evening at the Oak Hill Avenue A. M. E.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS Chatty Chit-Chat With and About People You Know. By "The Stroller." "Making some small allowance for good intention—and perhaps a great deal for personal pleasure, is essential to the reports that are being sent out of Washingtonant the conditions said to exist in the departments, and particularly with reference to the state of affairs in the Treasury Department," writes a well-known clerk in the Treasury Department, whose name is Robert B. O'Neill. "One hears, it might well be imagined that the colored employees are being treated as were the prisoners in the 'Black Hole of the World.' The absolute malaise over the likelihood of an early execution at the hands of some political headsm. Reports of this kind are not only exaggerations; they are absolute facts. The police players in a humiliating position and do not make the heads of the department's feel any more kindly than they should toward the defence is supposed to be offered. "Anybody with a spoonful of intelligence knows," continued the writer, "that more knowledge is required to be a gar. If the purveyor of this journalistic 'hot stuff' is sincere in his apparent desire to benefit the colored employees of the company, he would accomplish that advantage to rub the fur of the officials the right way and secure their confidence and respect. The would accomplish any advantage for the race, and great the justification for complaint, abuse only serves to forge our claims the tighter writer possesses. We need a writer who sends alarms to New York City and elsewhere, prophesying the wholesale discharge of colored employees the tighter writer possesses. We need a writer disposed senator on the job and let him have a heart-to-heart talk with the secretary, or must that the outer secretary and driving patrolmen at a moment of the head colored man who is fortunate enough to retain the good will of these officers and driving patrolmen at a moment of the payroll. It looks to me like the works of some disgruntled ex-attache, who has lost our and is sequestered in a pro-terrorism Saul and will down the temple of those he regards as responsible for his official decapitation. It appears to be a campaign of reprisal, rather than a pro-terrorism campaign." "I cannot but regard last week's article with apprehension," resumed the government attachment, "because in pretending to be a lawyer, the author takes the palms to pick out the eight colored men drawing the man in central salaries. $100 would make him less likely just who they are and where they can be found. It may put into the minds of the chiefs a notion of things they had previously given no reason to believe they just do this fellow makes the work of the headman easier, by uncovering the proposed victims, and drawing a diagram of the man in central salaries. This kind of stuff ought to be handled with extreme care by our editors, if handled at all. Diplomacy and fact win more by the man in central salaries, billingigate. He behoves us to avoid being made cat's-paws of to take some fellow burden, but we are not in the court will bring more permanent gains than tons of these jeremias of despair voiced by an insincere agitator, who is stirring up strife. With account, we are convinced that it is far better to talk to a man than about him. The safest adjustments of troubles are made indoors, not on the highways. Think on these things, fellow citizens! It comes to us that the Elks are mighty well pleased with the election of Lawyer T. Gillis Nutter as a grand exalted ruler, principal of the University, who have done better in the race, according to who would like to have added him, but they say he was backed by the people. He said to have been handicapped more than he himself realized by the support of elements regarded by him, the peace and well-being of the order. Many a good man is hurt by the "friends" who try to use his popularity as a platform to get them to do get in, if the game works. Grand Exalted Fuler will make a capable leader of the Elks and they are to be co-owner of the man as their official head. His generosity in reappointing Mr. cott as legal adviser was a grievous act, and shows his breadth as a gentleman. The decks are being cleared for some grand doings in the A. M. E. and the A. M. E.

The race for the bishopric in 1916 is to be one of the most interesting conflicts known to the history of these organizations, but they will be at least at least the same time will win hergeary and the titanic character of the struggle, gives none than giants a chance for the goal. It is anybody's battle in the Church of Allen so far, but in the Church of Varick, you may put Financial Secretary J. Jackson down now as a "sure winner" for the bishopric. He is fairly won the toga and his three-throated will give it to him the after next and allow the others to contest for the remaining plums.

Why Dudley Did Not "Announce" Whitney. Long before they became as prosperous as they are today, a warm personal friend, the late Tia Tait, between the Senate and Whitey the race's foremost comedians of this generation. Dudley was traveling through Texas with the Rusco and Holland Minstrels, doing the same thing as Whitey the race. Whitey was heading a party of barnstormers, doing one-night stands, usually about two weeks behind the minstrel show. Whitey was also the host of the announcements from the stage, "on behalf of the management, etc." He had agreed with Whitey the night before to the audience that the Whitney aggregation would be "in their midst" in a few days, and bespeak for it the liberal patronage, or one-day Dudley and Whitney met at a junction near Fort Worth, where Dudley's show had performed the night before, and where Whitney was expected the following: "Did you announce me?" asked Whitney or Dudley, "just going to to," said Dudley, "when the fellow go up and wen out." Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, of Chicago, is president of the "Negro Fellowship League," and editor of the Fellowship Herald, organ the league of the city of the holds a position under the city civil service paying a salary of $1,200 per annum. The object of the Fellowship League is to look after the legal rights of the colorado people, and to make the learning and surprising enough to make the solving of the race problem a paying proposition. Terre Haute, Ind. has a "Booker T. Washington School," a thriving institution of learning, and it is a source of pride to black and white citizens alike. “It does seem that the name of racial children’s play has been reached,” said a chieftain’s delegate to a certain convention recently, “when a Negro, over twenty-one years of age, will refuse to work on a committee or have anything to do with an organization, no matter how much has been done. With its objects, merely because someone is connected with it whom he doesn’t like personally. If we are ever going to be a people, we must cultivate a catholicity of the community of judgment that inspires us to place the cause before the man and permits us to work with anyone who stands for this same thine we stand for. The matter of personal likes or dislikes should have no place in our minds, when the uplift is at stake.

The only whose interest he has called them together. Such fellows are not an asset to the organization or to the man they process to follow—they are not liability, and they are not responsible for disaster in the long run. When a man in a position of responsibility finds himself embarrassed by the alleged friendship of someone who causes him trouble, the sooner he unloads them the better it will be for him and for the movement he represents. That's the word with the bark on it." A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient AFRO-AMERICAN METHODIST MINISTERS OF CHICAGO Send Protest to President Wilson Against Racial Segregation in the Special to THE FREEMAN At the regular meeting of the Chicago District Ministers' Association, Chicago, composed of 20 ministers and representing a membership and attendance of $30,000, more than one-half of the colored population, against Jim crowism by the government was offered by Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional church, where the meeting was held, and was unanimously colored as his carried out in some of the departments at Washington. We also protest against the enactment of any laws curtailing in any way the rights of the black people carried out in the half-century which has passed since the immortal Lincoln gave to the world his edict of emancipation in 1848. In the black culture we have increased to 10,000,000 freemen. From dire poverty we have amazed the white society in ignorance; now 70 per cent of the race can read and write. Colored men have achieved success in every walk of life. The valiant and the defiant in the defense of the country have been attested by history. Judged from every angle by the best standards of American citizenship, we have won our right to a square We feel that we ought to protest against an injustice to which no other group of American employees who are humiliated by this new and infamous segregation policy have won their places by complying with the law, morally and physically the equals of the other servants of the government. To set them apart from those with whom they are not complying, we see as if they were lepers is a grievous wrong and unworthy of this great republic. We cannot be cried at and not not protected that must suffer in silence or lose their places, so we who dare must protest for them and ask that you put an end to this illegal as well as unamerican practice. In your pre-election statement, Mr. President, you said that if you were not for absolute fair dealing, and we appeal to you because we feel very keenly the insult and continually has been leaked upon the race by the segregation policy. You have done what you could to save allen Japanese in California from humiliation and injustice; you have used your power in tussla and other European countries, and we believe that when you have carefully considered this matter as a Christian statesman you will put an end to a conspiracy in tussla and to humiliate and disgrace 10,000,000 American Christians.

GEORGE L. KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, SATURDAY, OCT. 18, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION A Negro was a pall bearer at Mayor Gaynor's funeral. A Negro sang in the choir at the funeral services of John P. Morgan. Well, that's mixing in pretty well. J. C. Napler, of Nashville, Teen. is once more a private citizen. The former register of the treasury is not so poorly off. He can still sign bank notes. He is president of the Penny Savings bank of that city. The Governor Sulzer prosecution has concluded to run in a few more charges against him. Just got to have him. Later advices—it has concluded that it had enough charges on hand. making up their minds as to who the next mayor of Indianapolis will be. The colored voters for the first time are broken up effectually into groups, supporting their respective choice. They are a little strong for Johnson, stronger for Bookwalter, making a noise for Bell, doing a little something for Dr. Woods. A $50,000 painting of the late King Menelik II of Abyssinia has arrived in New York from Paris to be shown at the White House. It will be held in that city beginning October 22. Quite a sung sum for a picture of the redoubtable, but that's being said. It is certainly worth seeing if it is worth so much. Hotel Raleigh, Washington, D. C. has changed back to white waiters, notwithstanding the fact that the colored waiters rushed in during a strike some time ago, saving the management from embarrassment, not to speak of the inconvenience. O, well its the ups and downs of the business. This, however, the colored waiters should manage to hold their own. Joseph A. McGowan, who is a member of the present board of school commissioners, is standing for re-election. Mr. McGowan is a highly respected citizen. He is a man of large affairs, being interested in the city street car company and interurban lines. He has proved a satisfactory member of the board. And as such he solicits the votes of the citizens generally. The official souvenir program of the Emancipation Exposition of New Jersey has been issued. It is a neatly compiled booklet illustrated with the pictures of individuals who stand for what is best in their lines. The likeness of President Wilson is seen, also those of the member of the exposition management. The photographic work is finely done, in this respect, making the booklet truly artistic and a souvenir as it is called. A South African school of aviation has been established at Kimberly, says a dispatch from Cape Town. The details are set out in full, closing with dislobbing paragraph: "Colored persons are entirely excluded from war service or peace training and from the money contribution." This is a British possession. Ain't so bad off in the good old U. S. A. after all. Dr. Booker T. Washington, after consultation with a number of leading men and women of the race has thought fit to ask our people to devote the week of October 19 to 26 to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom. He wishes that October 19-26 be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. And as it appears his suggestion has been generally indorsed. Dr. Washington has in mind, we take the liberty to say, a uniform observation of the fiftieth anniversary. This is as it should be since the sense of obligation for good gifts must remain in the world. If all are not thoughtful along the line, yet some must be, and whose business it is to call to mind the duty of the hour. We may rely on it, that, what Dr. Washington suggests is best for us. Let us observe the week in some way as a testimonial to Abraham Lincoln, to the Union army, to the North which maintained it in the field, to the South which now bears the brunt of the white man's burden in caring for the Negroes. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS HOME SAVING MOVEMENT We are glad to know that the Advocate, of Charleston, W. Va., has been resuscitated. We hope that it will be as pronounced and as convincing in its opinions as it was before it concluded to sidestep the game of journalism. We hope it everything good happens to us, and we hope it will not insist on seeing the Freeman in a wrong attitude unless it assumes that attitude. In the Frederick Douglas home saving proposition we did express ourselves with warmth, and because the situation warranted it. But we did not oppose the movement as the Advocate carelessly says: "Instead of knocking the proposition, we should boost it, and as some of the other papers are doing, make a public announcement of its willingness to accept subscription." tions and to forward them to whoever has charge of the movement." That's a most unkind cut. We have stood for the preservation of the Frederick Douglass home. We were restrictive in our utterance about the present management because it has not done its duty. Thousands of persons are willing to give, and are waiting the word from some authoritative source. The word has not been given, not in Indiana at least. Only indirect appeals have been made, calling attention to the necessity of the home and the device to save it. The man has not been asked to assist in a direct way. We have complained because of the apparent looseness in directing the campaign. Two questions: Are the colored people willing to contribute to the end in view? If so, why not have them do so? Find the way. We are not in for a newspaper controversy about the matter of saving the Frederick Douglas' home. We are in for saving the home. We have no objection to what the Advocate has to say of us beyond the above quoted. We oppose this because it is not the truth. The Advocate says further: "The Freeman, of Indianapolis finds objections to the method being pursued by those who have charge of the laudable undertaking to save the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacostia. It says the proposition has been before the public for many years and that it has been allowed to drag to the discredit of the race which is by no means responsible for the delay to settle it. The Freeman proposes that popular subscriptions be collected by pastors of churches and prominent individuals in each community, and that a bureau be maintained at the expense of the funds and "for the purpose of instruction as to methods of raising the funds, and so forth." While it is true that the proposition has been before the country several years, it does not seem to be altogether fair to censure those who voluntarily made it and assumed the responsibility. The founders of the movement are men who have other affairs claiming their attention; consequently, they may not have been able to devote the time necessary to its earlier consummation. And even if they had the time, it comes with poor grace to criticise them for not having raised the money. Not that they would have accepted compensation, but no one to our knowledge has offered to pay them for what they have done, which has been considerable. They have from time to time published appeals in all the papers which would carry them. Preachers and about every body else in each community have subscribed. There has never been any question as to where to send the money collected. Of course, there was no bureau at Washington. But what is the good of maintaining a bureau except to waste a part of the fund?" We stand for all of the above, justifying our position by what we had to say in the beginning. Perhaps we are discourteous to the management in saying so much without hearing from it direct. The management may not have time to give away and so forth. We thought as much, and suggested reward for services. Better have an efficient, effective, active management with some cost than to be dallying, and with the prospects of losing out in the end. If our restrictions come with poor grace it is because we are thoroughly in earnest, knowing what can be done and knowing what has not been done in those many years. Let the management act with authority—as a head to the movement, it certainly does not expect persons to contribute without being properly solicited. Why does it not appoint some one of influence, standing in every Negro community armed with credentials to act, to ask? Every Negro church in the country will do something for Frederick Douglass. Every lodge, every Y. M. C. A. any respectable organization will do something for the saving of Frederick Douglass' home, as a memorial of his greatness, of his services to his race to his country. THE NEGRO REGISTERS OF THE TREASURY. The retirement of James C. Napier, of Tennessee, as register of the Treasury, and the appointment of an Indian to succeed him has brought the office into prominence. B. K. Bruce, former Senator of Mississippi, was the first Negro to hold the office and was appointed by President Garfield in 1881. His simple and somewhat pictureque hand writing will be remembered by the older citizens. It was the first signature of a Negro on United States money; it had the effect of being the first impression, consequently lasting. There was some little ado by way of adverse sentiment as to the Negro's name on the money, but no one paid attention to it. The squeamish ones soon forgot all about it. In fact most of the people did not know who B. K. Bruce was, whether he was white or colored. The rather distinguished chirography of W. S. Rosecrans, a white man, appointed by Grover Cleveland, was next seen on our bills. Then again B. K. Bruce held the office, having been appointed by President McKinley; not however, until J. Fount Tillman had been in the office which was during Cleveland's second term. Bruce died after an incubation of a few months; he was succeeded by Judson W. Lyons, of Georgia, whose bold yet simple handwriting came near being a feature of the bills, Dr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, with his "fine Italian hand" was selected by Roosevelt. James C. Napier, the Nashville banker, appointed by Taft, followed Vernon. The Napier handwriting has not been so plenitively in evidence; just whose fault it is we are not so sure. It may be our own. He served something over two years, having been appointed in 1911. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY YEAR OF FREEDOM Editor, you know, this is the fiftieth anniversary year of our freedom. I very much hope that there may be a general disposition among us to fiftiethly celebrate this occasion. Some time ago, you may remember, I published the statement which follows with reference to this matter and beg again to write about it. I wrote at that time was to this effect: After consultation with a number of the leading men and women of our race I have been asked to devote the week of October 19 to 26 to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of our freedom, however, in several parts of the country towards carrying into effect the plan already suggested for local celebrations. In order to carry out this task, we must be carried out harmoniously and in such a way that each local celebration will contribute to a national total, following the example set in the book. That October 19-26, 1913, be known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. 2.

An effort should be made to secure the strongest and most representative men obtainable as speakers. It is my earnest hope and desire that the above suggestions be read before the various churches, lodges and other organizations of our people, to the end of the Pfeiff and Anserary Week of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere. We must depend, of course, upon our newspapers to bring this matter to the attention of the country. I very number of them is to be reached. I very much hope you will heartily co-operate with and give full publicity to this effort. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 11, 1913.

(By Hardin Tolbert, State Bureau, at Washington, D.C.) 866, Box 233, Frankfort Ky.) Former Editor C. L. Timberlake, of the Voice, at Franklin, KY, and at present president of Public Instruction's office, has launched a unique book entitled, "Household Ethics and Industrial Training," which the book is highly indulged by the State Superintendent of the Educational Department three times. Hamlet, three thousand five hundred copies have published and will be distributed free of charge. The book is also available even newspapers in the State and a copy of this bulletin sent to them, Kentucky, the dark and bloody ground, has done something that no other State Department of Negro education.

The past show vaudeville acts, including the daredevil fire-enter, J. T. Hosay, the stage manager of this popular house, and the latter act of T. Spencer Finley, the lover. THE DUNBAR OPENS ON CONSOL IDATED TIME. The Dunbar theater at Columbus, O. opened Monday night to one of the largest crowds the town has ever witnessed, less than a month long before the lights were on, the streets were crowded with people waiting for the doors to open and the starters to arrive. The doors were thrown open, it was necessary for four policemen to assist in keeping down a stampede. This was her first time in this beautiful playhouse. The Griffin Sisters held the boards with T. Spencer Holley, who won his audience as he helped the children to play under the leadership of Mrs. Cora L. Dudley furnished the harmonic strains that pleased the waiting patrons. This ers making jumps over this time as there are a number of rooms in the building which performers can make with small jumps. Every little is a help, so with the help of the little jumps, they can reach the chain of houses and the valuable brains of Dudley Owsey and Killen, the colorado theatergoers who have a chance to see their own theaters where they can sit anywhere they want to and feel at home. If they want to be a performer, a will there is power to keep it up. NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Tim E. Owley, Manager. A Playlet Featured. The patrons of the Crown Garden have lent bill being offered there this week. The management evidently is working with the deceased to ensure May at this house is making good. THE BROOKS-SMITH PLAYERS In a Comedy Drama—Scene: Along the Rio Grande, Where Mexico Meets the nited States Cast of Characters. Paul Claxton, U. S. A.... Marion Brooks Jose, Mexican Bandit.... Joe Bright Bumps, U. S. A.... "Noisy" Speedy Smith Theresaet, Jose's first sweetheart. ... Dainty Theesa Burroughs Lola, Jose's second sweetheart. Alberta, Williams The Introduction. The curtain goes up on a scene of a man in a suit, bounty Mexican, who has stolen many cattle from the United States side. He is trying to keep his cattle from being stolen. Lola calls on him, but he can trust no one in his presence, because it might lead to his detection. She "to back to Juju's away from his other lover appears on the scene, Theresa. She is also ordered to take the danger, but they could not see it as he saw it. They would linger in his presence. His clearer view of the acting ability was at once noted and appreciated. He seemed rather cruel in his actions, he was very fine, and he got complains. Jose's Hiding Place Discovered. Dumps, "Noisy" Speedy Smith, of the U. S. A., in stumbling about, ran on Jose's hiding place, clayton follows down the bandit. Speedy was none too brave, and in the challenges of bravery between the two Speedy was great, and the bandit slipped away. The comedy of Smith is great here, and the straight work of Brooks helped in making the funny situations. The house was in an upright position. The Barrel Scene. Bumps, finding himself alone, to his surprise and horror, is about to make his exit when Theresa enters with a sword. A dungeon door opens the sword. The barrel is a part of the rendezvous fixtures. In order to escape the lady of the sword, Bumps takes to the dungeon and throws the sword vows she will stay there and not go back to Juarez. She strikes the sword to the floor as a matter of empathy. Then she takes a seat near the barricade, and then she stands at his best. The barrel scene is pretty. The daimy Theresa showed her clever- A woman carrying a suitcase and an umbrella. DAINTY THERESA BURROUGHS. ness. She is of beautiful sneech and graceful, gracious manners. As a clean, clear-cut, legitimate performer, she has no superior in her race. She is a sweet and squirrel she appears, smoking a cigarette, and a fierce Revival. She is Burroughs is a pretty woman. Think of the配合: wit, grace, beauty. 'Can you beat it?' the opportunity in some great combination, doing comedy or tragedy, as she elects, and with equal ability, as she lady, and in some as the lady. Theresa, agrees to let the American go. 'Me no harm the American.' The end, and owing to the brief friendship, the lady slips him his pistol. The scene is exciting. Rumps manages to turn over his barrel, falls out, and holds back lose at the point of his pistol. The bandit gets away in front of a shot or The Capture. It turns out that Claxton and Bumps are both captured by Jose. They are bound together. There again is the act of capturing. Jose is bound by and by Noisy Speedy Smith, and by Marion Brooks. The two scenes, that of the barrel and the capture, will scarely be seen by anyone. The author of the play, Marion Brooks, who has done many successful things in this line, He has furnished a number of stories, and has shown the fun at this point is irresistible. The Rescue. Jose leaves his men for a bit. The ladies enter. The heresita asks of Lola and her husband, the Hammers, as Lola, here does a bit of fine acting. She replies in a careless way, saying, "I'll be fine, sweetly, nendishy. She acted it out in her gestures, proving a good companion piece to Jose. She also enjoyed a cigar and a drink, but the heart of Theresa had been touched. Bumps had saved her when Jose enters on the scene while making sure to free him during his barrel plight. The "American" must be saved, rescuing her obligation—a life for a life. She whispers to Bumps that all will be well. She will give him a life, the price of disclosure, muffle most effectively the probable outcry at the attempted escape, the Hammers calling to Lola; tells her she has something nice. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER DON'T YO' TOUCH DAT LADY ME KILL HER Scene from Marion Brooks' sensational tabloid, "The Border Line." The Finale. The very bad man, Jose, entered just at the time. But the bandy revolver was there. Jessup Cut, Alabama, is not entirely lost to Bumps, the place to where he lives. The team's victory is exciting. Claxton grubbs Theresaela's sword. Jose has his own. It is now a duel for liberty. Claxton will not perish for his life. The swords clash. In the first round Claxton is worsted, the second round Claxton is worsted, the second round Jose is worsted. Claxton gives him a chance, very much to the displeasure of Bumps, who declares that the needles only his own strong right arm. The giant is run through. His huge arm is caught in the eagle pitching down from its eminence, he falls. This was good work, all of it. Jose's fall is so realistic that the cold column. The curtain rings down. * The beautiful singing of Alberta Willie * the dancing of Miss Burroughs. * the costumes of the ladies were beautiful, * dancing. Those of the men were * appropriate. he Henderson, Joe and Lena—A Classy Pair of Performers. The Hendersonons are new to the West—a swell pair, who put over a variety of different features. Their work is when different bits of music come together to make a bit from the word go, singing "I'll Be Your Man," and playing pretty steps and movements. "Seaiskin Brown," by Joe Henderson, is a hummer. He leaves yelling for more. He comes back and gives them more, and he brings them back and runs talk between them is full of laughter. Miss Henderson, who looks Irish all right, and when she sings, rather than interpreting an interpretation of Irish character singing, She was well received. She was an eccentric cakewalker, as pretty a dance as has been seen on the Crown stage. The pair was in good form, looking like a young man, and one reminds one very much of George Walker. His movements and poses are very similar. The team made a decided "RECTOR GIRLS" COMPANY AT THE MAJESTIC THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. When a burlesque company comes out in the open and puts on dress parade an audience will be invited by Morris Wainstock's "Rector Girls" Company, which comes to the theater. The company can be no possible chance of theater-goers who attend the performance of the names which follow: Leo Stevens, Joe West, Helen Jessie Moore, Stella Jackson, the Progressive Trio, and Lydia Jospy, supported by a large company of footlight favorites. Imagine these tall women in a musical mangle of fun and frolic, with a chorus of twenty beautiful and bewitching women can conceive of anything that sails under the burlesque banner that "Rector Girls." "TAXI GIRLS" AT COLUMBIA THEATER. INDIANAPOLIS. There is more than ordinary merit to Joe Hurtig's new "Taxi Girls" theatrists will entertain the patrons of the Columbia theater during the new week. Wilbur Dobbs, a favorite of burlesque audiences, and the strongest of entertainers, led the new show leading the noteworthy cast, which also presents as a co-star Princess Luba Meerven, and through the civic engagement of the "Princess Benefit" Her engagement is perhaps one of the most sensational moves ever made by the mansage company. Wilbur Dobbs will be the chief comedian and practically the 'big noise' in the exploitation of the comedy in the two happy roles, the part of part the foreground, the princess will be the foreground during the vaudeville offering, which is sandwiched in between the Ward and Bohman, in a brand new and highly amusing skit, Lynn Canter, the snappy comedienne Edna Green, the harrower Chas, the saucette Harris and Lockwood will be among the other principal mith provokers. A most charming feature will be the comedian, whose possession of good voice material and pleasing looks, the costuming as well as the scenic equipment is of the highest order and the Hurtig reputation for excellence.

Washington The ater—Police Needed to Quell Mob. On Monday evening, October 13, 1913, the third appearance of Ora Criswell and her husband, the engling Theater, St. Louis, Mo., was the direct cause of such crowds gathering at the plaza house, eager to gain admittance. The crowd completely blocked in the immediate vicinity of the streets, thereby causing the need of ten specially detailed police to keep the pleasure crowds out. In 1914, while Criswell and Bailey improve with age," "Better or equally as good as Williams and Walker Criswell and Bailey," its seldom, if ever, they all go together—music that is so charming that singing it is musical pleasing and teasing"; "All I wants to' fo' mame dine is" to see dat black-face 'face gal dance and hear her sing dem 'Criswell Rues"—are some of many comments heard from the band.

WOLFSCALE'S BAND AND MINSTRELS With Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. We are now playing our last few weeks of the season in the Carolinas and Georgia. Raleigh, N. C. was the third day and the opposition. We were all in the same way. The members of both companies exchanged friendly visits and passed some pleasant hours together. We also met the Alabama Minstrels in Goldsboro, N. C. and the other all the first part. Prof. Wolfscale and company send best regards to both of these companies, especially to Mr. Charlie Holloway and George Motts. Our circus bebop was a great show of the time. & G. J. Giants proved to be the champions of the season. They won eighteen and lost seven games. The team was managed by Mr. Lewis Carr. Mr. Voe, the top player from the Portfolio, was shaking hands with his many friends and former schoolmates of Hampton Institute. Mr. Herrford sends best regards to the members of the ideal team. The team has been the most important to the game, who has spent a most pleasant and successful season with the big show, sends best regards to Mrs. J. E. Adams, Mrs. Steve Adams and all his son-in-law friends. We see the little doll woman, was called home to Baltimore, Md., on account of the illness of his wife, Mrs. Lilly Thompson. Mr. James and Harry and Mr. James were the most regular and "James" and Harry Anderson, of the Gollman show. Johnny Reddick, of the team, the two Reddicks, and formerly of the Howe's Great London Show, was on the show. The Portsmouth Co., Prof. Wolfscale sends best regards to his friends in and out of the profession. THE LINCOLN'S OPENING. Large Audience at Grand Opening of New Playhouse in Jacksonville, Fla. The south side of Ashley street was crowded with patrons of the Lincoln Theater, the night of October 6, as never before. The place had been put in ample order and the people were there long before the hour set—7:30—for the doors to be thrown open. The managers, Messrs. Bidex and Whitehead, put on one of the best shows that has been seen in the city for a number of months. The first show was of an hour and a half's duration, and the moving picture that was the introduction to the various acts was quite interesting. Williams and Wallace were the first to appear on the stage, after a very timely introduction by Mr. George E. Taylor, who spoke for the managers, telling of the nature of the plays and the manner in which the place will be operated under the present management. Williams and Wallace act was quite attractive, and they received great applause, as well as several encores. Jones and Hill came in for her share of applause. She was a favorite. Jones and Hill were the popular actors of the evening and received several encores. They played well their Everything went well until the appearance of Mme. Fairlax and son were announced. She is one of the most beautiful singers, and last night she surprised a lights, and last night she surprised a voice and a warm smile and the excellent contour she has of her vocal chords. "My Old Kentucky Home" was sung by her in the beautiful beauty of the selection was brought out. Her make-up was also characteristic, and she was greatly applauded for her performance. This was one of the most interesting parts of the show, and she was again the orchestra under Prima F. H. Meyer, discoursed excellent music. This is one of the greatest musical aggregations in the world, and her skill's ability to manage is unquestioned. PROF. EPH WILLIAMS'SILAS GREEN COMPANY. (By La Vola.) Prof. Eph Williams, our genial manager, has just returned after an extended business trip for the purchase of new resorts and purchased the new show. We have been doing phenomenal business as usual, and the show is clean-cut and spicy, and everything savors of much attention to an up-to-date performance. We are using an engenia-type show stand and think that the Sllas Green show, although never closing its doors for seven years, still everywhere people are wild to see it over and over again. It is the confirmations of the public wherever they play, that the two stars, LeRoy Knox, comedian, and M. A. Bayhard are without a doubt among the headliners in musical comedy to-day. Mr. Knox is an original laugh provoker, and he is a family member of the time Maynard, it goes without saying, is a actor pure and simple, grasping every situation. His command of the English language and enunciation, along with his bright content is easily placed in his front rank as a straight man. Miss Susie Cookie is captivating her audiences nightly as the leading lady and solo soprano. Wong Weighing bears watching, for when he gets through dancing it is all over with the best of them. Mr. Chas, Williams, the man who burns himself up into a new generation before the audience in an ordinary flour barrel, continues to mystify the knowing. Jesse Reeves, with his gold trombone, leaves a lasting, impression by his composition Frank Hopkins is in a class by himself on the baritone, and not far behind as a violinist. This name, when announced, guarantees the patrons that some wonderful stunts are going to be enacted, for when La Voila ends his act, swinging and playing the violin of the daintine trumpet neck trick, it is conceded by all that there is none better as a wire walker. He is simply wonderful. He is the son of Prof. Ephil Williams, entered Lincoln University last week. He was tutored all summer by the languages and classes by W. A. Mackey. Miss Mittle Bradford, our outbrette, is pleasing them mightily. He is the business manager, is still on the job, always inviting them to wake up in the morning with a "new idea." Frank Smelody, the little man with the big bass voice, is very much in evidence. Happy Lewis, that eccentric comedian, always has something funny to say. His chorus backs up in the grand show. Capt. Will Goff, our stage manager of a character artist, still calling "All on" the audience. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUDLEY CIRCUIT Week of October 13, 1913. Washington, D. C.-S. H.

So now to the public: If this fellow, Amas A. Peoples, was a desperate man, as the person, who diverted, was in the managerial and managerial management. I can say this much: No matter how big a thief any man is that has the management of a man that is a bad and disorderly man in a bunch of nice people. I have been with the show something like two years and a half. No one has been killed in this show—not since I have been with it. And as for me, having a wife, I have one, and she is the one who tried to insinuate and slander her, or they would have mentioned her. I consider all knocks to me a better thing than ever never and who ever tried to become a headliner but what looks, and ropes would try to pull them back. But I am like a hungry mule. When I see feed down that road for me, I am going to strive to get it. So I think who ever put such news in the paper about it and I am not sure to judge and look the matter over.

R. O. sign out every night during their engagements, moving to capacity both and appreciative audiences each night. Miss Theresa Burroughs, dainty soubrette that would be a credit to any company with her new songs and elaborate costumes. Miss Alberta Williams, an actress of ability, is scoring night in her portrayal of the character. Mr. peedy mith, a comedian of the first water, is easily a favorite. He never gets bored with singing, dancing and tummy sayings. He leaves the audience screaming. Mr. Marion Brooks is seen to good advantage in the straight role of his tabloid friend, the comedian, and is naturally adapted. That his productions meet the approval of the people is evidenced by the many new faces of the colored aristocracy that greet his company. Brooks-mith Players on a return engagement at any time. The single act, Mr. Spencer Fainley, is good. He is a clever monologist, having a title of original talk and jokes. He always pleases the house with his new song parodies, having a good voice and knowledge. Manager Brown is well pleased with his venture of placing this theater in the Dudley-Owsey-Klein circuit. Next week's bill consists of four plays: Lillard, Kemnett and Company and Lzzie Holden. A big bill was deemed wise by the manager to follow the Brooks-Smith Players and T. Spencer Fainley creates a lasting impression on the patrons. A NEW THEATER OPENED The Rosebud, the Finest in New Or leans.

I have built the finest and most beautiful theater in New Orleans, and opened September 21 with Wise and Miles for two weeks, who have made good, and gave two to two children, two to two children. John Rucker his company opened October 5, and gave me a packed house, Rucker, as the Alabama Blossom, is very clever. He is booked without limit to Would The Freeman favor me with the address of Billy Kersands, the old minstrel man? I requested my manager to write you about fifteen days ago, telling you of the opening of the Rosebird Theater, and as I am a subscriber and get your paper regularly, and not seeing anything in regards to my theater, would you also kindly favor me and let me know if the manager, Mr. Calloux, wrote a letter to you? Did he also tell you of Burns and Burns? If not, I will write you in regard to what happened to me. They were booked at my theater for two weeks, commencing September 28. As you will see, I had them advertised. The Sunday they were to appear Burns came to me and asked me to the could put a photo of himself in the center of the trane, in which I had four of his pictures in lobby display. After giving him the permission I left him for a short while. When I came back I discovered he had taken all his pictures from the lobby and jumped his contract. This is for the benefit of others who may want to hook him. Will The Freeman tell performers who may be coming South or near New Orleans. THINGS BENEFICIAL TO PER- FORMERS. (By Baby F. Seals.) We settle down to real vaudeville work this season in Louisville, for Wim gans, what he calls the "big man," who thinks he is the one we need more Hogans in Kentucky. We came across one Senator Bell, who met us with his Monday night he paid me half a week's salary. After the show Tuesday night, there he was with more, more. We met the White House advocating the Negro vaudeville. Then we rolled into Ounceman Pekin for a show in New York, Dempsey, who is rightly called the prince of good follows. As soon as I hit the theater, "Bang!" another roll of money, the manager, is what you would call a little old young man, as lively as a three-year-old.

To the Editor of The Freeman Sir—last week I had cause to be in El Paso, Tex, and while passing along one of the principal streets in the heart of the city, I saw a crowd going to the theater. On drawing near I was struck by the good music. I stopped in the theater. Then imagine my surprise at the orchestra composed of three Negroes. So, bringing the incident to your attention, and I hope that you will find it worthy of you, do you not know that Texas is one of the leading States for the color line? And as these three men are the drawing card of the orchestra and the theater you think it worthy of notice? I had the pleasure of meeting these three gentlemen later. They are Messrs. E. Wright, the director; W. Deleton, violin and trap drummer; and S. Stevens, trap drummer. Mr. Wright has composed several songs that are most successful are "Theips Dodge," "Sammy," and "Pictures Ras." The theater where they play is named the Eureka, in the heart of the city. It would do you well to see a piece (of course, it is a white theater—most to enjoy the music. THE FREEMAN IN NEW YORK.

A Headline in One of Our Papers, to Talking with Napoleon, to Talking about Napoleon. (By Billy Lewis.) wilh harping on my daughter," is a classical allusion that will fit our "early white Jacob J. Pierrepont Johnson." Perhaps may be those who think that these articles are not being Johnson very much, joining down and down and down, well, this much in self-deception. The white publications are giving out every little thing to the Negroes. It is up to us to see and know what is going on, see that it is not always good, and that it is even worse than the Johnson incidents have not been without good. They have hastened condition, that is, nearly forming—completely formed—as it ever was. A time nothing could have been known of the future, it is so, and socially, thus generally announced. In short, we know where we are at. We know how much we are respectful and our social things will not put our judgment of the race, because it is no longer uncertain as to what to do with the white people, not because we enter more largely into the affairs of the white people, but because we want to what is. What is, is, even if it is not right. Self-reliance and independence come through resignation, making it possible that this story may be extended into every genre of life for Negroes, preaching the sanction of opportunity—to be, to toil. Now here's the story of Jack Johnson that's seen in circulation in this country, the latest revision, one will think, of Paris—The people of the little community of Assinies, one of the most unarmed and unarmed men, attended at the thought that Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion boxer, is going to live among them permanently, and the authorities to bar the Negro from France as a tribute from American justice. But it is exceedingly doubtful whether there can be any doubt that he can apply to rid ourselves of this undesirable creature, who is even thinking of becoming a Negro. Truth, Parisians are heartily ashamed of themselves and the foolish enthusiasm with which they received this man, and we have not had much experience with Negroes, race prejudice is absolutely unknown here, and we are wild about sparring with them. We arrived, we saw in him only the world's champion boxer, and few of us knew anything about his record. Then soon that he was suffering from a badly swelled head, but we thought him only on the basis that he said he was a library about the newspaper I, and remarked to the reporter "Napoleon was a great man, --- It may be best to take much of the above with a little salt. Our own dear American white folk are rummaging about in Europe, and they have decided convictions as to the race question. So some time I remember the "of the Inealism Standard" University, California, is said that wherever a people may go they will take with them some of the traits, the characteristics of their former homes—their native countries. This is a simple statement, but absolutely it is not in the painfully true, as we find that Johnson is in this instance, and that Johnson's route has been sown with dragon teeth. The American prejudice is with them wherever they are. It may be that the little note above is an American inspiration, rather than one coming as a thing of French sentiment. While we may believe that some little color prejudice may really in France, it is a doubtful fact of the people who the peaceful little suburb of Asnières have been worked up to such a frenzy as it appears. Of course, exclusive communities anywhere will demur at a class of folk that's not in all respects in keeping with themselves. So we may need not be greatly disheartened by the news, even if community has those of that community. It does not necessitate any that Johnson is despised. The note says that "we have not had much experience with Necroes, race prejudice is absolutely unknown in any form." This being the case, it stands to reason that Johnson is not in so bad as one would think at first blush. It takes a long time to build a people that can see no reason for it. ```markdown * " " * Johnson's record is no part of his fighting business or fighting unfair. We pull at the same angle unfair, in view of what is known of that class of sporting man. That he married a white woman, a thing in opposition to American masculinity. Of course, he grew some in importance, got conceded; got big-headed, all right, just as many a man gets big-headed when coming to the gym intensely big-headed. In fact, he was real gentlemanly. He insisted on having what he wanted; that was mostly the extent of his big-head- --- Guess it was rather amusing to hear Johnson on Napoleon. He thought to be a man, but when it was his advantage to be so played to the Frenchman's vanity, as he thought, by referring to him, he was Napoleon was a great man, too. Just what Johnson meant is not clear. The reporter, I think would have it appear that he was Jack Johnson was a great man. The classifying seems to have taken the run out of the reporter Johnson could have meant that "too" as an assist in the proposition that Napoleon was a great man, and not that they. Napoleon was less as it concerned greatness. We cannot not away from his assertion about the greatness he learned, and hence fitting for his $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

We all smile at this pretension, I dare say, yet it gives that he should be encouraged. Johnson, at heart, is rather a good man.

JOKERS ARE FOUND IN MANY TRAINING CAMPS Bob Armstrong Victim in Sparring Exhibition Jimmie Mumford - Ed- Hard Graves' Gratey (By W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO. "I thought pugilism was too serious a business to admit to myself," Jimmy Clabby's camp who was "let it in," on a bit of that being worked off at old Bob Armstrong's expense. Why we are always putting up a job on somebody. And the smarter they are the harder they fail. Because Armstrong had been engaged especially by Clabby as sparing partner, as the sport writers of San Francisco had attended to see the team build the middleweight box. We knew that old Bob had seen service in the camps of the champions of the past fifteen years, and wanted to be seen in good company for this particular company. While Armstrong, in gymnasium and big gloves tied to his wrist, was waiting to see if the club clubmed over to him and murmured, "I hear Clabby is going to tear loose at full speed when you can's get good impression on the sporting officials." Bob rubbed his pannus reflectively, and widened his eyes. "I-h-m," he remarked, and nothing more. When he stepped upon the platform, however, the old fellow was as spry and apprehensive as the night he boxed Jeffries in a dazzling dued to land away and Clabby, was puzzled at there being so much defensive work when there was so little occasion for it. But once when Bob stumbled into a corner and an overhand right from Jimmy intended—caught him on the eye, Bob said, "Ah knew it; ah knew it; and ah knows the feller that framed this all up." Later, when Bobbie was convinced that he had been no frame-up, he said: "Jesse shows you, the smartest of us will fall for sumthin' once in a while." Bob's experience recalled the time when Referee Eddie Graney, the arbitrator of a score of world's championship, was turned to amusement for a crowd of joke lovers at Young Corbett's camp out at Ocean Beach. Graney, who was a talented boxer in his time, was always complaining that he was now a few heccuits did not equal the old, and that feinting, for one thing, had become a lost art. "Tell you what," said Coffroth, "the crowd has gone and only a few of us left. Just give Corbett a few pointers on the same things before he ducks unstays to be rubbed." Graney, with never a misgiving, even shredded his coat. He made sure even shredded his coat. He made sure at Corbett and explained the inwardness or them. Corbett posed, in interceded, a crowd of people, by evident, apparently, hit Graney stiffly in the stomach. Graney's face reddened and he made a lunge at the chunky fighter, who brought up a crowd of people, began. The population stood out on Graney's forearm and the pace grew too rapid for him. He clinched and held on, and Corbett, with arms free from the elbow down, kept throwing in underhand body dips which he could not stop. It is possible that the world-famous man, until he collapsed, but some one fully called "time," and Corbett, in mock courtesy, offered Graney his hand. As asked, "Who is it framed me?" Over at Jimmy Britt's quarter in Los Angeles, Graney was training for a particular night, there was a particularly choice gathering, and Graney was training for his exercises. The party was headed by Willie Britt, who, as his brother's manager, busied himself arranging for the afternoon's sparring. Graney's box with?" asked one apparently innocent spectator, so and so and so," so-called Willie. Pity he hasn't somebody more classy to cut loose with," remarked the sport. "You see, this is a swell crowd, and I'd like to see him give an exhibition of that clever stuff he is also chock full of. Will don't go to this one a fancy spar with him just for this once." Willie demurred on the score that he was in no shape, but on others urging him, he agreed, and went to the dressing rooms to hunt a boxing suit. Jimmy, who was a boxer, was what was exposed to him, the sparred lightly for a while and then ripped a solid punch into Willie's round front. "Oh, what a mutt I was to fall for anything like this," said Willie, and roays of laughter from a crowd of wise fans followed his recompilating. "I was a friend of turn," the tables on his brother, but his wind was not equal to the task, and after sampling another crack or two that were rather trying to an unseasoned man, he ducked out of the ring, half angry at the rough treatment and half appreciative of the joke that had been so, so, a bit. No sir, pugilism is not too serious a business to admit of a joke now and then. And the best testimony that jokers with which the game abounds are tolerably smart fellows, found in the fact the astounding details like Eddie Graney, Willie & Gritt, and Bob Armstrong are made the victims of training camp wiles. VICTORIOUS ATHLETICS ARE NOW SCATTERED World's Champions Disperse After Series—Philadelphia Club to Club PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The World's series won, the victorious Athletics scattered to different sections of the country, and the championship contests spring training trip. Nearly all members of the team had made arrangements for their vacations before the starting of the championship contests with the New York Colts is going on a hunting trip in Pennsylvania, while Baker and Shrunk join the team. Charley Herzog of the Glants, and Cieler Bender will accompany Baker. Robert Shawley, one of Connie Mack's young players, and the junior series games, expects to join a hunting party chaperoned by his former manager, Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, while Jack Lapp also intends to go gunning, and the series game time at his home in White Mills, Pa. Daley and Houck expect to go to their homes on Saturday. Daley will spend some time in New York before leaving for the West. Walsh is anxious to get back to Syracuse, where the team will be destination for him. D. Murphy and McMinn will rest at their homes in New England and later go gunning, while the fans of Worcester have decided to visit the destination for Barry from his arrival home. MOTORING DRAWS SEVERAL Sebang intends to motor to his home in Buffalo, and Bush has had his auto shipped to Brainard, Maine. Both are enthusiastic motorists and expert drivers. Thomas probably will remain close to Philadelphia until his chum, Jack Coombs, hero of two world's series, is able to leave the hospital, where he is suffering from typhoid. Eddie Plank Saturday took occasion to THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER deny reports that he had declared his intention of retiring from baseball. "I did not tire," said Plank, "but I have not spoken of it this year and have no idea where the news started. I feel in fine shape and I can connie Mack wanted me to do so." Plank will be the guest of Harry Davis and his wife, Kate. It has been not necessary to play a third game of the world's series in this city, tickets for which had already been approximately $400 to purchase, purchasers of tickets for contests here were compelled to buy coupons for three tickets, and purchasers of sets of tickets were sold to one person. WHAT'S DOING IN THE SPORTING WORLD. An automobile was presented to Walter Johnson, the star pitcher of the Washington club, for being the most useful player in the league in 1932. The great star was given a great "land" by the fans and players. In the recent world series the Athletics were the first upon the field, going from beneath the grand stand one by one. They were garbed in their usual home uniforms with white storks and black jackets just below their heads. They were followed shortly after on the field by the Giants, who wore their traveling uniforms of gray, with purple and gray stockings. Philadelphia, Pa. — Overcome with excitement while watching an electric scoreboard, the Giants played years old, collapsed on the sidewalk, expiring a few minutes later at the entrance of St. Joseph's Hospital. The first inning was on, with "Home Run" Baker "Give us another homer, Baker; clout it out over the wall" screamed Sherick, who produced faithfully the Athletics team a third time in vain at the swiftly moving spheroid. Sherick's frenied yell suddenly turned to a faint groan, and he fell down. The Alpine wrist speed laws were shattered by an auto as it rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital. The wild trip was in vain, however, as Sherick died as a result of an airplane wreck. Doctors said that heart disease, induced by too much excitement, was the cause of death. Mack's players took up batting practice first and loud were the cheers when Home-run Baker sent a drive nearly over the fence on Twenty-first street, which was the home of the Eddie Eddle Indulged in batting practice, indicating that he was Manager Mack's pitching selection. During batting practice, the Athletics team and cheated with the Athletics players. Jim Thorpe, turtle. Sounds good, doesn't it? And that what he will be next year—maybe. Anyway, that's the best thing to do. He and they can point to a lot of things that make the yarn sound fairly plausible. In the first place, Muggsy McGrow, who in the past contract soon after the cat about him being a professional got out of the A. A. U. bag last winter, thinks the ex-Carlilean Giant substitution for a favorite reason—thorpe was quite a drawing card, even if worked only an inning or so. But next year, he would be to an amazing McGraw may decide to place him out some place where he can get plenty of work and acquire a lot of baseball knowledge. Supposing, then, he would be able to sonable to assume that he will send him to his old friend, Mike Fim, new Turtle chitietta. What thinks Mike is about the best developer he knows of, and he has a lot of faith in his ability to teach young Americans how to shoot and—well, there are many things happened, and anyway, it listens good. THE PEERLESS PLAYING PLUTOS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Dear Fans—Have you ever given thought to the situation existing to-day with regard to these mythical words, State and city championship titles? Do you realize the utter futility of the art of ing to the will of a factory decision to arrive, what or which team is supreme in its class? Year after year season after season, we hear the same old yip and howl about championships, as to what town or organization is supposed to have the fastest team in their section of the country. Of course, the keener the interest, the better we like the grand old National pastime, but it surely becomes a trifle monotonous when every Tom, Dick and Harry team throughout the West hops to the front with a frenzied claim for reduction of it is the same thing. Ranking ahead of the others in so far as championship claims are considered. Now, every one knows that the West Baden Sprudels have one of the best teams to be found anywhere in this country, and every one knows (now) that the French Dick Pluchin has been to be found near that area that really should have played the American Giants and the Lincoln Giants, both, for the world's championship this fall, and I want to tell you right here that hundreds of dollars would go down on the Plutos right now to beat any team in the United States. It is to be regretted that they didn't get chance at the Lincoln Giants this season. Baseball has been at fever heat around these two burgs since the Plutos returned from their terrible invasion of the Northwest. It would seem foolish for a man to go to see the world's series, when he could get a chance to see the Sprudels and the Plutos in a battle royal for championship honors. The antagonism and enviousness that exist between these two teams became between them worth giving miles to see. The Plutos have made a record this year unsurpassed by any team in the United States, a fact which I will prove later. The Sprudels and Plutos compose a league of just the two clubs (the smallest league in existence). The Plutos have cinched the pennant in that league this year by winning ten out of a twenty-one-year season. The team has won the game at the same time, while the Sprudels have only won three, leaving them eight more to win, and they have three ties out of the sixteen games played, a feat never before heard of, especially when the team's days of the session. The winner of these series is also hailed the champions of the following eight States: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa. The following were the record of the twenty-one-year season. 1st game...2 *Plutos*; 2 *Sprudels*; 0 2d game...Plutos; 1 *Sprudels*; 0 3d game...Plutos; 1 *Sprudels*; 0 4th game...Plutos; 2 *Sprudels*; 9 5th game...Plutos; 3 *Sprudels*; 3 6th game...Plutos; 4 *Sprudels*; 9 7th game...Plutos; 8 *Sprudels*; 0 8th game...Plutos; 5 *Sprudels*; 4 9th game...Plutos; 4 *Sprudels*; 1 10th game...Plutos; 6 *Sprudels*; 1 11th game...Plutos; 1 *Sprudels*; 0 12th game...Plutos; 3 *Sprudels*; 2 12th game...Plutos; 7 *Sprudels*; 6 13th game...Plutos; 8 *Sprudels*; 0 15th game...Plutos; 6 *Sprudels*; 10 15th game...Plutos; 12 *Sprudels*; 4 Simpson won two games and Ben Tayler won one for the Spalding in losing ten.

Too much credit cannot be given S. J. Gordon, the grand old friend, with confidence and led them on to victory, and as far as honesty and integrity are concerned, in a class by himself, of his own hands. Every man on his team is a star, and he treats them all just like they were his children. When Gordon and his men returned on the 16th of September, after a three month absence, he met that H. P. Branham and been engaged as caretaker of the baseball park, and a better diamond master is not to be found and so is in this country.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Resolutions in Praise of Prof. S. S. Booker, Retiring Secretary of Yorkshire BY WM. BROOKS. Special to THE FREEMAN. Sunday was a high day, and the religious services at the various churches were made both attractive and interesting, as the pastors sermonized the occasion and addressed all. Addresses were delivered by the different representatives of local causes, and the music in the choir came in short, the choirs took short talks, spoke of the need of the people generously assisting in lifting money for the Fred Frost Fund, unwaverly upheld the thread, and desires to meet the approval of the people with a hearty response, as required. Macdonald pastor, W. W. B. Collinson pastor, had a grand ordination service of deacons for the church. The revival meetings are still in progress at the various churches, with great reverence.
