Washington, D. C., December 3.
The memorial in honor of the late Dr. John R. Francis in the auspices of the District of Columbia, drew out a large audience last Monday evening at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and the District of Columbia, successfully succeeded Dr. Francis as president of the Social Settlement Association, presided and delivered a speech setting the tone for settlement movement among the colored people and extolling the labors of the late Dr. Francis in the promotion of the address of the evening was delivered by the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State. Mr. Bryan's keynote was, the true message of the potent manner in which the memory of Dr. Bryan could be honored would be to continue the great service of the nation, to speak for all humanity, to unselfishly inaugurated. Mr. Bryan's speech was one of the most effective he has delivered in the past, and the spoken for all humanity, dealt with the loftiest principles of the Bible and philosophy and applying them broadly. There was not a single word in the address of forty-five minutes to indicate that Dr. Francis was a member of any particular race. He was simply a
The memorial address was presented by Prof. George William Cook of Howard University and a colleague of his life of Dr. Francis as he was known by a lifelong friend. The details of the social settlement work were given by the professor of the Settlement Home on street Southwest, and other talks dealing with the needs of the race's poor classes in the city were given by the professor of the Settlement Home and Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the Bureau of Education. Major Moton, paying a tribute to the late Dr. Francis, said that the Negro wanted in his struggle for the higher life. He wanted only an equal chance with all other people and that the Negro would be the race's own fault. "Give the black man a fair chance—no special favors, no handcaps," said the major. The professor of the account of his color, Superintendent W. M. Davidson delivered a telling address. Excellent music was provided by Miss Dr. C. Sumner Wormley and the Metropolitan A. M. El church choir, under the direction of Prof. John Wormley and is providing a good sum was raised by subscription for the promotion of the work of the Social Settlement. Mr. Bruce is the professor of Prof. John Wormley and is providing a worthy successor to the late Dr. Francis. Many teachers of the public schools were present at the memorial meeting and are adding to Mr. Bruce in making the cause and agency for the uplift of the whole people.
"Business League Night" at Bethel Literary
A large and distinguished audience turne dout last Tuesday night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church to witness the branch of the National Negro Business League, with a view of awakening the commercial spirit of the 100,000 colored citizens of the city, the frequent and hearty applause which greeted the many good points made by the speakers, the effort of the local organization promises, and the welcoming nature of the M. M. E. church, indicating earnestly that the race might bekennent to the call of the league to a larger life in the arena of business and industrial enterprise, was one of the richest offerings of the organization, the energetic president of the Washington League, struck a keynote in a brief address on the objects of the organization by asking these pertinent
"Do you believe in building up business enterprises among colored people here and abroad?"
"Do you believe the Negro should strive to win a place in the commercial world?"
"Do you wish to open a 'door of hope' to your son or daughter that their education and job talents may find a profitable market?"
"If so, join the Business League and help us push the good work along."
The main address of the evening was delivered by Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of University College, Oxford. He took for his theme, What Commercial Development Means to the Negro Race," and for nearly an hour this chapter focused on philosophy and out argument, convinced everybody that the future of the race rests more directly upon its success in the industrial and commercial field than upon any other—that education, art, literature, science, social and political eminence, all ability of the man on woman to hold of the medium which make these things powerful in the solution of human problem. "The Negro's opportunity today," said Prof. Miller, "lies in the simple matter of having a woman be a matriarch. We have a clientele in this city over 100,000 sons, distinctively your own. These people are hungry three times every day and must be married three times ever. They must be clothed and must be healed. They are sick often, and must be healed. They are solaced. They seek amusement after labor, and must be entertained. They must have shelter and some furniture in their house, and must be housed. These needs and necessities supply a field for the restaurant, the clothier, the docor, the artist, the concert manager, the real estate agent, rental agent and furniture man. Then it is also true that the Negro gets into trouble and
must be defended, or he buys property and must be advised as to procedure; this makes business for the lawyer government. The lawyer will not make places for you. You must make places for yourselves by administering to your own wants, and prepares to compete on equal terms with merchants of ever yother race, who have been getting rich from the patronage we are bringing permanent in return, receiving nothing permanent.
An installation of officers of the local league will take place December 8, and the league will be responsible for the city will be arranged for. Indications point to an awakening of the Negroes of the city and the importance together and make opportunities for one another by building up business enterprises that will supply every need that a city and progressive people can suggest.

Creating A New Slavery
Two articles appeared in the columns of the Daily Tribune last week under the head of the Voice of the People of Washington by T. Washington by lynching, and the other by H. George W. Ellis on "Creating New Shaver," the idea that the right is to be carried in a hearing in the daily press is being carried out in this neck of the woods. Whenever the race is contested, the press there is always some thoughtful, brilliant and intelligent writer to come to the Negro rescue, and the press there is always a discussion of the Negro between Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University, and the Washington Post. You remember the Parks Department, which discussed of the statements of Prof. Miller, then began a few rounds of brief and biter conversations for four rounds, at the end of which the Post threw up the sponge and acknowledged its defeat at the hands of America's most penetrating controversial
In the recent editorial of the Tribune which editorially denounced discrimination by the following letter written by Hon. George W. Ellis. We quote: (Editor of the Tribune.) "I have thought of the great services which The Chicago Daily Tribune renders to the Chicago community in its fearless exposure of so many evils which constantly add to the already too large numbers of the helpers who are becoming more and more the paper of the people, and is making a distinctive contribution to national leadership today."

She told of the snare laid open for
young innocent colored girls and how litle

to the young girls of the city. She told of
their lack of opportunities offered them
and the problem of looking after the

Defender to Help the Poor Children
The Chicago Defender will begin a series of articles this week to create a sentiment towards helping the poor children during the Christmas season. Children in this large city who do not know of what a new pair of shoes or stockings are on Christmas or even a box of candy and to this end will the Defender be on the firing line from now on.
Its Folly to Be Wise Where Ignorance Is Bliss
Information has come to the Freeman correspondent that a number of young colored men have successfully passed the bar to the post office, making high averages, but not given employment. Major R. R. Jackson, our state representative, has been given the post office, making high averages, but not given employment. Major R. R. Jackson, our state representative, has been given the post office, urging the appointment of several young men who have made high averages. High powers have been given to the post office. No cooled man has been appointed recently at the post office. This is due, it is hoped, to high averages. That figuring upon a percentage basis, only 4 per cent. representation is entitled to the race, while there is no such requirement. The kind of reasoning will continue to hold good remains to be seen. It is further claimed by those in authority that coloured men have flocked to Chicago to take examination and have been appointed, while the city representation has been small-unit. The men have not been in the city or state over a year and in order to reduce this state of affairs, the bar must at least be shut down, "when and who will raise the bar?

Not with hot irons. But do it with Kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten a Kink-no-more kind of air. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, then combing the hair becomes straight, not combing the hair once or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else, the tilt ink falls after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous does it its work that one can hardly believe it is magic, the music, and is unique because there is no magic other preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not stain.
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not hurt the skin, but it will stop it from falling out; positively grows dandruff, promotes a luxurious growth heart, keeps hair that is soft and grows hard.

very of a remarkable compound which actually grows hair. No longer need the prospects of having to wear a wig distress men and women who are raining and mud, who have already lost most of their hair.
"GLOSS-O" the name given to this wonderful compound—has been tested in every way, and found that it will actually cover the human head with hair, providing that hair roots have not been destroyed, in three months. Its properties are so remarkable that not only does it grow hair, but also improves the quality of existing hair, if it is gray or fading it will frequently restore it to its natural color within two or three months.
No stronger argument can be used in its favor, than people who have tried and, every known thing for promoting hair pomades, etc., with no tangible results, have found that "Gloss-O" only, will do what other things are said to do—grow hair.
Since its discovery, a little over four years ago, it has taken the world by storm, and thousands of men and women are now living proofs of its efficacy.

It has been found that almost every known hair trouble will succumb to its influences, and minor cases of scalp or hair diseases, such as dandruff, falling hair, itching scalp, etc., have been completely cured with two or three applications.
As a hair dressing "GLOSS-O" is undoubtedly unexcelled. It is not greasy or gummy, yet it makes the hair soft and glossy, with a tendency to straighten, and for pressing the hair it has no equal. Many of those who have used "GLOSS-O" report most astonishing results.

President Wilson's message is the type of the man; not very much on frills or useless expressions.
The strike of the teamsters at this time greatly inconveniences business. Guess there is a method in it.
Some are mean enough to say that Mayor Shank performed his one best act when he resigned. Mr. Shank has some fine qualities, but evidently they are not along mayoralty lines.
Mr. Marshall's constitution has been killed by the Supreme Court of the United States. Well, we never did care very much about that constitution. It looked as if it might have been loaded.
One Negro has lost his life in the 'teamsters' strike and several have been hurt. That's a pretty good contribution for a people that have such a small share in unions or the other big good things.
The greater and better Christmas issue of The Freeman, December 20, Bear in mind that The Freeman is the most extensively circulated publication by the race. Very few publications of any kind cover a broader field. This means the business man's opportunity; it means the professional man's opportunity. Let us hear from you at once.
In the language of the stage, President Wilson put over his message in good form. His phraseology is charming, regardless of what he has to say. Such expressions as "the elangor of the factory" and "the quiet interspaces of the open valley and free hillsides" are full of life and grace, giving delightful buoyancy to that part of the message in which they occur. The President also shows his splendid good judgment throughout. Perhaps it may be thought that he entered rather intimately into the affairs of Mexico. If so, it was because he was forced to do so in order to justify the stand he has taken.
Of course, some form of segregation is everywhere. Our point is that the government should not know anything about it unless compelled. A government of the people should rejoice at the opportunity to live up to that reputation—of the people. When it noses, ataling on prejudice as individuals do, then in the minds of just men there arises a spirit of contempt for such a government. The Negroes have not reached such a stage, yet they can not be as enthusiastic patriots as others who see in the government no symptoms of oppression. Segregation at Washington, where the best of the race is employed, is inexcusable.
Booker T. Washington said recently: "At the end of six months of the present year there had been twenty-four cases of lynching. At the end of ten months (November 1) there had been forty-five lynchings, a reduction of four as compared with the same period for 1912. Within the past four months, July, August, September and October, since I last called attention to the subject, there have been twenty-one lynchings, making a total, as I have said, of forty-five lynchings for ten months. Of this number, only seven individuals were charged with rape. It is worth while, I think, to note a few typical cases for which human life was taken by a mob." Forty-five lynch is an improvement, yet it is an appalling number of mob victims for a country full of court houses and police officers. Of course, as Dr. Washington is, but not until wrongdoer is given his punishment by those whose business it is to give such punishment should we fail to hold up to shame and ridicule American lawlessness.
The New York Age had occasion to say, not long since, that, when there is an honest demand for a daily newspaper for colored people, the demand will produce an honest supply. It is nicely stated, but not necessarily the correct view. What is an honest demand? There is no downright necessity for a Negro daily; perhaps there never will be. This does not mean that such a publication would not thrive in a thrifty, populous Negro community. If such a community were wholly colored, as Mound Bayou, and business interests were the same as a corresponding white community, there would be the same demand for a daily paper. But we do not think that is what is meant. Mixed communities are meant, such as the greater cities where Negroes are living. There can be no downright demand in such communities. We are at some disadvantage when it comes to the distribution of news concerning ourselves, but what we lose is not a great deal. The white publications look after our greater worthy happenings, and the Lord knows they don't forget to set out the bad among us that comes to light.
MR. MARSHALL'S CONSTITUTION.
From all accounts Vice-President
Marshall
acceptable
As Governor of the
Indiana he was none the less acceptable. In fact, he made inroads on the affections of men of all classes and parties. When his name was spoken most of us were learning to forget the party to which he belongs; it excited no rancor or hate like the names of some men who are known in life. More than likely his kindly, considerate qualities, together with his sociological advantage of the political position, the logical candidate for Vice-President. We have in mind his sentiments as expressed in his constitution.
As Governor of the state Mr. Marshall was pursued the even tenor of his way, when all at once he became obsessed with the notion that he must give his commonwealth a new set of fundamental laws. It is a question just which one of his ambitions he wished to serve; whether to be a modern Solon and reap the blessings of the generations to come, or to give a constitution where he added some political views, specially along the line of suffrage, or to replace the worn and effete instrument with one that was up to date, answering the last demand of a progressive society. Which did he have in mind? Whatever his views were, or ambition, his method of having them carried out were rather startling. It was in 1911 when the Governor Marshall thought to spring his new instrument on the legislature, merely for "ratification." The thoughtful citizens, regardless of political parties, to tounder to learn that he was to accept and allow himself already in shape, to violate without the usual "solemn" conclave of citizens usually incident to such important legislation.
Mr. Marshall and some of his Democratic friends insisted that they were right in their methods. Precedent after precedent were cited to prove the contention. Eminent testimony in opposition was also cited by the brainstel lawyers of the state. The feeling was strong that a constitution for a state needed all the possible safeguards. The convention idea, besides being considered the lawful method, was held to be the logical thing since the unorganized stood for the people in an unorganized laws and authority emanating from the people, the convention, meaning legislatures and everything that follows. It was not considered that the legislature could precede by any logical way; it could not get in front of the force or thing that created it. The legislature was considered the child; not the parent. We could possibly have had a suddenly made constitution if we had cared to accept it waiving precedent or construing the law on the point as Mr. Marshall. But the citizens of it all, and were unwilling the profundness of it all, and were unwilling the business except by the most approved method. A constitution without a convention was fairly unthinkable.
A Democratic judge knocked the proposed constitution out when the question was submitted to him for his decision. Mr. Marshall and his adherents made an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and which took the safe stand that no federal question was involved.
The following Washington dispatch will give further illustration of the final disposition of the case:
"An appeal by former Governor Marshall and his associates to the Supreme Court of the state brought forth some of the best of the legal talent in the state to argue the subject."
"Lack of jurisdiction was given by the United States court as the reason for its dismissal of the case, Justice Day reading the decision. Attorney-General Honan, Dan Simms, of Lafayette, and Frank S. Roby, of Indianapolis, represented Vice-President Marshall in the case before the United States Supreme Court. Recently the case was brought 'up to date' by the substitution of the name of Governor Ralston and the new election commissioners of the state for the name of the former Governor's and those of the former election commissioners.
"The decision of the United States court puts an end to the case. The court held no federal question had been raised. This in effect affirmed the decision of the Indiana state courts."

Thanksgiving dinners and services were held at the various churches on Thanksgiving Day. Many of the churches had special features for the evening exercises.
A Biblical play called "Ruth" has been written by a young lady named Miss Elizabeth Davis, who wasuced before different audiences in the city and is meeting with a huge ovation. Miss Harris has shown remarkable ability in putting together needs to be encouraged whenever she presents it. Remarkable talent lies hidden in the breast of many of our young people who lack but the dash and energy to display it.
This reminds me that we were promised a Negro daily in Los Angeles to be sorry to report that the company who promised to give us so much has even failed to issue a weekly.

Webb's Famous Picture of Jesus! Is Finished in Colors—Was Jesus a Negro with Woolly Hair?
Webb's books and pictures prove it and show it by the Bible. A 12x18 picture of Jesus with woolly hair and His holy angels at his second coming, and a book with Biblical references extending from Genesis to Revelations, prove his fact. The following comments are upon the same:
"To try to say, after hearing Elder Webb on the subject, that the blood of his mother was of Isaac, the wife of Isaac, I am frank to say that I have solemn, if ever, enjoyed such an intellectual treat. The position be assumed as the subject of his lecture touching the Hamilic blood and race of Himalia and Nepal, and the intellectual knowledge. But, I am pleased to say, that he not only shows himself an expert, but the master of the situation, and I comment him to the ministry and churches of our race of every denomination.
"(Signed) BISHOP H M. TURNER."
The evidence submitted by Elder Webb tending to prove that the Savior of mankind was a black man, seems to be sufficient to put them to rest. We propose the proposition upon the fact that the blood of Jesus was of Isaac, the wife of Isaac, who is the same of the devils in the Bible records have not advanced the sensational proposition before. Not only is a Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been he'd up through all of the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also."—Saturn Tune.

PROMOTERS FOR POOR
MATCHES.
Eastern Contests for Coming Week Hold Little to Merit the Attention of Boxing Fans—Langford-Watkins Bout in Brooklyn is a Case in Point.
By James J. Corbett, Former Heavy
weight Champion of the World.)
New York—Quite a few celebrities are to be exhibited in local rings the coming week. Freddie Mac, the chief executive; Jack Britton, candidate for the American title; Bob McAllister, the sensational young middleweight from San Francisco, the world’s best boxer; and the famous Boston Tat Baby, are among the stars who will show their skill to Gothamites. They can display can all boast considerable class, that can hardly be said for their opponents-to-be. Of the otf Jack Britton is tackling the Glover, the wolverine, he will be giving away several pounds to a man who can step pretty lively over the ten-round distance. His imagination to attempt to class Glover with Britton from a scientific standpoint. Bob McAllister is to make his Eastern veteran Mike Donovan, famous in the ring twenty-five years ago, and at present the boxing instructor at the Glover, son of the veteran Mike Donovan, famous in what McAllister has accomplished in his brief career on the Pacific coast, the match with Donovan appears to be a poet yawsed one, owing to his wit and a boxer of reputation and his record with second-raters does not suggest that he will prove a worthy opponent for the
May Be a Farce.
Freddie Welsh is booked to box ten rounds with Phil Bloom, a youngster who until recently was a ten-round draw with Knock Out Brown a few weeks ago, and followed it up with a fair showing against Tommy Murphy. He was so much good boys in this neighborhood looking for matches—for instance, Young Shugruce, Jimmy Duffy and Jack Britton—the promoters have not exacted a number of blows Bloom to try out the clever Englishman. On the face of it the match looks like a farce.
But the worst looking affair of the season has been for Monday tat one of the Brooklyn clubs—between Sam Langford and one Bill Watkins. Watkins is a Negro and has won one round with Langford, if Sam was in a good humor. But as for a match for Langford, well, I don't like to knock, but such bouts do sport a great deal of skill for taking
Lanford is not to be blamed for taking the match. It is not his fault that he is

We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and name memory, dizziness and drowsiness, drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men that we think every man who wishes to regain his manhood should have a copy.

This prescription comes from a physician, and we are convinced it is the surrest-act combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put to use.

compiled to box fourth-raters; Sam is willing to take on anybody in the game, and he is willing to commission bars blim from competition with white men in this State and popular sentiment keeps him out of work in most cities. If promoters exercised better judgment in the making of matches for boxing, they would be more profitable. This thing of matching stars with second and third-class boxers would be more profitable.

Gibbons After Coin.
Mike Gibbons wants to box Packe McFarland at one of the New York clubs. Mike believes opportunity for adding to his already substantial bank account through a ten-room go with McFarland. He wants to pack the weights at 3 o'clock for Packe," said Gibbons the other day, "and not an ounce lower. Or I will make a match at 147 ringside, if Packe thinks there is a chance of the weights at 144 in the afternoon. At 147 I doubt if I would have very much on McFarland. I am not such a big fan of the weights at 144. I believe Gibbons argues that if he agreed to a lower scale he would not be doing justice to himself or the public. And I believe Packe would be strong enough to worry the elusive Chicagoan. Packe would be very little lighter and in better shape than for Packe years. It would be a novelty for McFarland to train for a contest and not find it necessary to sweat off considerable
Willie Fixes Limit.
Willie Ritchie has fixed 135 pounds ringside for lightweight championship stretch a point for some of the other fellows in the division—especially where it would help his own case, as in the Tommy Johnson trophy. The trophy has been set—there is small chance of Packey being the recipient of such Queensbury course. Packey is a champion, and he is little party for his years, and he fails to figure where he would be getting off to light eight away to the cleverest boxer of them. The welterweight division appears to be the only hope for Packey if he intends to bain him. Of course, the book, Mise is extremely doubtful if he will encounter much real opposition in that ring. Of course, the middleweight, light one. If McFarlane insists upon a welterweight limit there is no chance for Packey to win. He is the cleverest boxer in the ring today—Packey can afford to concede a few pounds without getting very much the worst of the breaks, even with a silly felt
Always a Card.
Packey has always been a card in New York. He will never draw big here in the future, however, unless matched by a player with a face with him. No more soft things like Murphy. The public knows what McFarland can do and will not stand for any more of those things. But if Packey wants some really big money he can get it by meeting Gibbons and hard at it—and will all appreciation for Gibbons' great skill—I will have to string along with him. I don't believe there is a boy in New York with 150 pounds capable of beating McFarland.
Sam's Shape Enough.
Gunboat Smith's victory on points over Sam Langford was not such a tremendous surprise to those who watched the Negro Jeanneette several weeks ago. A glimpse at Sam's shape that evening was enough to suggest that the erstwhile terror of Sam Langford was not the condition an etat it would take a long siege of the hardest kind of work to reduce him to anything like normal fighting force. And it is likely Sam has reached that stage in his career when it has become an irksome task to train. When the fat once takes hold of an athlete, it gets harder to move. He is moving on his stock of strength and stamina.
WHAT JACK JOHNSON'S DOING.
LATEST NOTE ON THE CHAMP
In Big, According to Reports—Having the Time of His Life.
**By Billy Lewis.**
Getting hungry for some news of Jack Johnson? Well I guess yes.
He was a kindly and trouble while at home in America, but for all that we have a kindly feeling for him, I think I am safe in saying that most of us of his race have had a kindly and trouble in trait of the human kind—the poor and needy are so often in sympathy with those that can "buy and sell" them. See that man and the other star in my novel the poor weep at the misfortunes of the rich, when the rich are still rich from the salvage of their so-called wrecks. It's that man who has caused needless pain and anxiety. That same spirit is very much in the world, and as old Omar Khaym put it:
"Without thee wealth is but bags of food."
If one may believe the latest note on Champ Jack, he is in clover. The cheerful Austrian-Hungary, at the Orpheum theater making good, packing them in. He is a headliner on his bill. The report says that he has been accorded a greater reward than any other man after Remo. If such be the case, he is going some. And it is very likely to be as reported. All of the fumery about him was not reported. What was it just was so much advertisement for him. Why shouldn't the people wish to see a man that proved a Joshua in a way? The people who took precedent over Johnson, candidates of presidents, coronations of kings, took no precedent over him when in his zeith. And as Tempel, a German, said, "The whole world wondered." He is simply passing in review before the world, that more curious portion who take on their part in the world. They were people of Budapest. I dare say, were not carried away with Jack Johnson's exhibition; they wished to see the man who was the great reputation. The people who gave him the skill and ability. They wished to see the colossus of the nineteenth century.
mimetypes
The report of Johnson's doings bears somewhat of the Baron Munchhausen flavor, but at that there's enough of it to be interesting. He is doing it. It is said that at the University of Budapest, which is six times larger than the Chicago University, a professor of history benefits. After this they gave him a great reception. It's just like the college fellows to do what is reported of them, if they do it. They are the fountains of true democracy, socially, civilly, politically, holding a man's a man for that. The dreams of the university are not the dreams of the chimerical in the light of the subsequent practice. Yet they are more often right than wrong in standing for what should be. When the sluices of real life, as the river flows, are divided in that way in self-defense, for protection in society against society, against individuals, partaking of qualities in kind, thus is the man's status in this erstwhile notion of man's status in all things that relate to him. But life is better for the perennial flower chastened and sweetened as much as possible. It was a jolly bunch at Budapest, who met Jack, vouch for it. Lot Jonon, who was a professor of democracy make for an Atlantis of

old Plato himself did not dream of, maybe.
The report has it, also, that Jack will tour all Europe, visiting the great cemeteries of the region, and we think of the Himalayas, the home of the snow. Physical culture there is a mania, turning and wringing rains in the mountains, but in those countries of our slugfests, just as we know little of Spanish bull fights. But we have taught England to eat corn. Think of a country that was dead set against corn! Corn a la cob or any other old
INDIANAPOLIS BOY
IS EASY WINNER
Jack Dillon Victor by Decision Rout in Butler, Eighth-Sailor in Eighth, Eighth.
Battered and beaten, his body aching from the terrific punishment inflicted by his opponent, outfought, outboxed, but not outranched, Sailor Ed Petroskey of San Francisco, and Indianapolis at the Holland arena, Butte, Mont. November 27, in one of the grandest contests ever witnessed in this city, and incidentally brought to light, as far as local opinion goes, a man who is certainly the middleweight jack-Dillen.
Dillon showed dazzling speed, but still never seemed to be fully extended. His defense was well-night perfect. His prowess was impressive accuracy, and his cleverness, as compared to the less artistic Petrosky, a revelation even to those who have seen him in his daily life. He was a master of timing when he was in any danger. Petrosky several times landed, and landed hard, but not a scratch did he put on the cool, never-changing countenance of the calendar.
Dillon is Master.
The sailor, game to the core, tried everythin gin his book, his life, his training, and during these periods Dillon pounded and popped Ed's stomach and anointed him, and gradually began to have their effect. At long range Dillon was, in any style of milling the cropped-haired boy surpassed his opponent so far that there is hardly any comparison that
Dillon several times tried hard for a knockout and only the sailor's spendid gameness and bravery, in hope of possibly landing a counting blow kept him on his feet. In the eight round Dillon seemed to have the sailor at his mercy, but Ed went into a break and honestly continued his vague battling, while Dillon swung rights and lefts with terrific force into his face, his body an do every thing in or more. Time and again Dillon rocked Petrosky's head with terrific rights and lefts, but the sailor lived u pio his reputation for gameness and refused to be floored for the final
Petroskey Down Nine Seconds.
It was a terrific volley of rights and
lefts, a crashing right to the jaw,
and a crashing left to the ear,
in the elight, and it looked as if the contest was
finished then and there. But the sailor
stayed down for the count of mine and
then got to his feet, managing to last out
Dillon had a majority of the rooms some of them only use, and the other would make a less perate rally that would offset to some extent Dillon's efforts, but it is safe to say that the majority of the periods were safe and the pace terrific. The going was fast and the pace terrific.

MEXICAN WHIPS CROSS
Rivers Wins All the Way in Twenty Rounds at Vernon.
Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles Mexican, defeated Leach Cross, the New York lightning, and Vernon arena at Los Angeles, November 27. After two knockouts in the round, Rivers cross showed fought brilliantly, but could not overcome the lead Rivers won, the soft sunlight of the late afternoon and finished under the "spit" of the four great arcs over the basin, about 10 feet back, the basin weighed against the ropes, everything gone but his fighting instinct, while darting about him like a California frog, sending one last punch through the beaten boy's guard, a punch that would have been impossible. Rivers trying send one last punch through the beaten boy's guard, a punch that would have been impossible. Upon no less than five occasions Rivers had his opponent staggering, and his failure to stop Leach was the key to he broke the thumb of his right hand in the eighth round. The glove had to be cut from the injured hand, and Rivers left the ring suffering.

The campaign is an open campaign for members and follow all the lines of the campaign. The tennis and football. Pittsburgh has an abundance of athletic talent, particularly in track, basketball and foot-
back. At this meeting speeches were made by Will Price, of P. A. A., the millionaire of the sports art, Coach H. Johnson and several others. To date, nineteen applications have been received, among them two club teams, the Delaney Rifles football and the Delaney school students. This club has representatives on some of the athletic teams of the high schools and has an excellent athletic program. The Delaney Rifles football team, which in the last two years was the conquerors of the annual football game on Thanksgiving, the Monticello basket-ball team is in receipt of new uniforms, which have the same colors and insignified differently, and make a very attractive appearance. Toosa, star forward, to the team two years ago, strengthened
Monticello wonderfully. Coach Johnson is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the team. All that I can say is, "Watch Monticello!"
