Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh heavyweight, is in the pit. He is the "white hope" who will meet Johnson at the Veloce d'Hiver, June 27th. The bout is scheduled, if tried out, means a fine exhibition, if tried out, means a fine price, if tried out, means a fine rule. He, however, may be in mind the American way of saying to see a fight. The Europeans, according to the rules, don't see what much fun can come in. Moran says that the big scrap is forward to as a big society event. He says that the best seats in the house, and the best seats in the house, is the way a people are trained to look at the fight. He says that the passion for the bull fight will favorably perhaps, with the man wounded passionately fond of the games. The college misses football, but mostly because there such a hurry to it. Then again, he hurries to it, like it, and also because it is desirable to like it. After the shout and tumult dies away there isn't much to do, he initiates to see the game. Their chances are good because the title is limited in its defense to three or four players but one must be back for a cause or other. The Negro ranks are not being reinforced. Jack Johnson, Sam Crawford and the story is told; perhaps overtold. These are in a tower house or fort. The old white hopes are being retired because of inefficiency—the Flynn, the White, the New white hopes are taking their places two to one, and more. If the besiegers cannot take the fort of the four men, by assault they will not defeated. This is on the theory that the Negro may be weakly guarded, not will defeated. The old quartet of defenders still stands, bidding fair to succumb to early decrepitude through the race. No new names have been announced as volunteers, or owing to above mentioned. It appears that the race has nothing more to offer along the way. Perhaps different. Perhaps the experience of Johnson has proved an object lesson and of such a nature that the ego has been experienced. At any rate none is being offered, and of course this means ALAS, BASEBALL IS NOT OUR CRICKET, SAYS LUNNON TIMES. The London Times—the Times—generally lies on the same table, in English homes, in English homes, but it is the same guide to life and thought for all proper Britons. what the special interest course wants the special interest course to present games of baseball played in London between the New York Giants and the twenty-four thousand or thirty thousand people, among whom was the king, at the time brought a summary of the general newspaper expressions, but to the fan much interest must center in what the newspaper gave in some detail. The Times gave all well, as it generally does all well, in the London papers of that date have just published a much splurge about the game in the difference of one other paper, but the great London daily did have to be technically, as well as pleasurable, the game much as a serious American baseball writer would cover it, the sport expert then said: English spectators, to whom the new team must yesterday have received first, it is clearly "glorified rounders". First, it is clearly "glorified rounders". It has it been immensely developed by the defenders no longer the youthful and no longer the ball as hard as possible at the fleeing man. It is superbly organized and seated with every detail; but the framework of the game still remains. Secondly, in batting spite of all the gorgeous and seated with seen baseball does not compare with the keenness and velocity of the pitching wonderful. Finally there is seating with the fielding and throwing which is seen yesterday. The catching (in the sense) was extremely good; but the almost indescribable accuracy of the returns. It is little aggression to say that in the double put out off the same stroke as put out off the same stroke difficulty in following the movement of the flight of the ball, ultimately perfect. The catching is perfect, in the case of both wrist and baly, at first base, quite before praise. did not arrive, kame began (the king was not clock) an exhibition of hiting, summons of the two kings was given by legions of the two kings, spectators, one excellent bce of people of the kingdom. York men for several minutes played with an imaginary ball. Members of the team were given the entertainment by pleading with the pitcher to kill the batsmelt, and the pitcher to umppe, called the "strikes" and "batsmelt," to deal the decisions was a joy. Altogether it was an excellent game, but, to Englehart, it was not. The crowd cannot be said that the crowd showed any evidence of thinking that the pitcher likely to supersede our national game.

NEW YORK—Frank Moran "whit-hope" returned home from Paris last week to board the Marathon of the Coast Guard, or best prior to pickup Jack Johnson, in Paris, on June 27, for the heavyweight championship of the world. Moran who looked remarkably well conditioned, stated emphatically, without a trace of boasting that he is going to win. "I'm in the pink condition," he declared, "because all the time that I have cared for myself. That doesn't go with Johnson, however, and I am confident that he will take a whip him when I make a knockout. Johnson never knocked out any white fighters in his class. It is true he did knock Ketchel was a middleweight. When he at the Wildren d'Hiver, on June 27, Moran will return here until May, when he will return to Paris. The Chinese base ball team of Hawaii, which arrived in San Francisco last week on the steamer Honolulu, spent the night in the detention station in Island principally to the prowess of Outfielder En Suzy, the officials were dead to protests that the players were native-born American citizens, that eight voters and six members of the team were in attendance. "We's sorry," said the officials, "but these men are Mongolians, and must undergo the usual examination." But En Suey was known as "Ty Cobb, the Second," whereupon the officials relented and the players were permitted to come ashore. The team will play its first game today with the University of California. The players will make a tour of the country, afterward going to Cuba.

As the guest of the Second Life Guards, of which he is colonel, he was entertained at a gymnasium at a legendary park barracks. Bombardier Wells, the former British heavyweight champion, was also at the fast exhibition of sparring, and several clever amateurs also took part in bouts. In sporting circles a boom in the sport was as a result of the user's patronage. Jom Mace, the old champion, of England, was sixty years of age when he fought Charley Mitchell tour rounds and also fought some hard bare-knuckle battles to a finish after he passed forty. Joe Goss was about fifty when he fought the turf with bare-knuckles, in 1880. Dooney Harris was over fifty when he fought his last milil. Sam Cotter had won the first round and Jack McAuliffe. Billy Edwards was also past fifty when he boxed Charley Mitchell in New York, the professor Mike McAuliffe, and the mark when he boxed Jem Mace. To witness the veteran professor boxing every day with his young and sturdy arm, he was a weekday is quite a faint treat indeed. GEORGIA COONS' BASEBALL CLUB. Knoxville, Tenn.

Jimmy Walters, manager of Jack Dillon, from Denver, Colo., announces the terms for a fight with Dillon at Butte, Mont., on April 14, for the light heavyweight. The fight will be twelve rounds and will be before the same club which staged the Dillon-Petrosky scrap, on the son so easily shortly before Christmas. Dillon will probably return to Indianapolis to fight with the Philadelphia. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Hebrew. The fight with Levinsky will mean much to Dillon If he makes it, he will win. He will win the rate of twice as week for several months now, and during that time he had to play with light-heavies in the eastern end of the country. About the only fight he has lost was the one which he had to play with Gibbons over the K. K. roar. If Dillon can win his fight with Gibbons, he will claim not only the middleweight championship, but also the light heavyweight claim not only the middleweight showings against Jim Flynn and Jack Lester, both heavyweights, has inspired him with confidence, and has been a fast easterner in twelve rounds. About all Dillon has to do now be a captain of the kibosh on George Chip and Mike Gibbons and possibly Jimmy Clabby. He has tried of it, and has the Indian sign on the other two, as they have been playing. Dillon will give away weight in his bout with the Hebrew. Dillon weighs in at about one hundred and sixty pounds, and tips the scales at 168. It is probable the articles of agreement will call for a clock in the afternoon of the fight. BONHAM (TEX.

NEW YORK—Hoist danger signals for professional baseball. With the New York Yankees, the New York League just subsiding, the New York state boxing commission in its report says that the sport's safety be extended to the diamond sport, which is a mystery, as there is no evidence that owns, players or spectators of professional baseball have ever been involved. The boxing commission in its report, says it has taken the initiative in a world government body for boxing, and says that its authority could well be extended to baseball. The commission says that its authority could well be extended to boxing during the year, and said that shams and fakes have been absolutely eliminated. Boxing shows' response to this country seems to have swirled off of the commission took $33,781. The fact that the New York commission is regarded as the collecting body in this country seems to have swirled off of the commissioners, and undoubtedly put weight behind the request that baseball be held in the national baseball commissioners. But where would the national baseball commission get off? It's a cinch no state boxy will every over professional baseball. The national pastime now is regulated and supervised as never before. The request o the boxing commission should be over professional baseball, a pipe dream or a bid for the up-stage spotlight. It is certain to raise a storm in organized baseball should the re Have the major leagues and Federaals come to an understanding? Well doesn't it matter long stretch?

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The weather at this writing is be- having admirably. England in her Ulster business seems to be between the devil and the deep blue sea. Well, it will be no trouble for the big, rich clubs to pay the $1,000 per annum tax for the privilege of dispensing liquors. It would be quite an item in the expense accounts of the Dumas Club and the Elks Club (colored). A few weeks ago Muncie, Ind., went dry by a good majority. This week Richmond, a town somewhat larger, went wet by a good big majority. Both are good sized cities. So the trend of the State is not certain as it was thought some time ago. The editors are after DuBois with a sharp stick. In a recent number of the "Crisis," the magazine of which he is editor, cited a few newspapers, insisting that they only stood for principle. This reduced means that they stand for him. Catering to the whole people, as he does, and according to the mission of his publication, he was very injudicious in his remark. Dr. Booker T. Washington is making good as a race leader. Practically single handed he is going against the great wrongs endured by the race and with good results. His methods have been gentlemanly, dignified, yet he discussed great questions without fear or favor. The new attitude of the railroad men as it concerns better facilities in railroad coaches for colored people was a splendid accomplishment. He followed this up by an exposition of the Negroes in Southern schools which appears in the current issue of the Outlook. His article accompanied by a telling array of figures will have effect for the better. He is to be congratulated, and the race also in that conditions are looking much more hopeful. We doubt very much if the women who stand for woman's suffrage care to have their cause associated with the race question. Senators Vardaman and Borah have turned ordinary politicians in trying to play the women's cause against the Negroes. The effort, clearly, is to create more prejudice, sufficient to put the Negroes out of the constitution, substituting the women, the white women. Colored women would be no more acceptable to the scheme than the colored men. This would make for a new situation—a perplexity; what to do with the colored women. This would make for a political hodge-podge that does not seem to have dawned on the mischief makers. We see no reason to be alarmed about the matter, yet we are threatened, and in a high place. The country is moving along nicely with all of its citizens, white and black, to together with the various nationalities. There is no demand for any political by-plays of the kind proposed by that triumvirate—Messrs. Tillman, Vardaman and Borah. ELLIOT BLAINE HENDERSON POET. AUTHOR. READER. Elliot B. Henderson, poet, author, reader, has been in the city a few weeks in the interest of his publications. As a reader he appeared at the white Y. M. C. A. the evening of March 11, where he read with success from his own works. Mr. Henderson has many letters and signatures of prominent people in earnest of their appreciation of his poems. Governor Ralston is among those who have expressed themselves concerning the writer's ability. In a letter to Mr Henderson the Governor said in part, when speaking of a volume of poems presented him: "Your first poem 'Some Negro Characteristics' is a clever piece of writing. It has fine humor and real pathos." The author is of undoubted distinction. He has made a fine survey of the field of literature, showing it in his conversation, and in his writing although it is mostly dialect. He has had considerable experience as a reader. At one time he was associated with Paul Lawrence Dunbar, giving readings of their works in public. He has great admiration for the late distinguished Dunbar. Their writings are similar. It is not too much to say that Henderson is Dunbar's successor. Mr. Henderson is from Columbus, O. but formerly of Springfield, O. His latest publication, "Old Fashioned Black Foaks," is dedicated to many prominent citizens of the State of Ohio to whom he confesses indebtedness for support and inspiration. OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEGRO EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH A very few thoughtful people, if any at all, will doubt the good results to the Negroes through the activities of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Only a short time ago he gave to the public a number of letters, which he had received from railroad officials throughout the Southland, bearing on the "Jim Crow" situation. We have already stated that these replies to Dr. Washington's circular were most satisfactory. Of course, we have only promises so far, that the desired change will be made. But they are promises of men who cannot afford to have their words fail. In time we confidently expect, with Dr. Washington, that better facilities will rule in the railroad coaches that are set aside for colored people. We have to thank Dr. Leonard, for our help, for reformation that is to come about, and devoutly wished. In the current issue of the Outlook is an interesting article by Dr. Washington wherein he deals with the Southern Negroes in the schools. He tells the story of the lack of efficiency in a plain straightforward way, and which carries conviction. He presents an appalling array of figures which speak even in a clearer way of a condition which seems too shameful to admit. It is true enough that there is no general cry coming up from that character, and that the means of education, but in face of the figures presented we will not be able to get away from the fact of the denigrate condition. Not long since we had something to say along this line, insisting that education was free, general and "generous" in this country. Theoretically this is true. Dr. Washington shows plainly enough, however, that the opportunity for education is limited in certain sections, and none too "generous" in any section. This does not mean that we do not care about the colored people, as one is likely to think who does not understand our institutions. Dr. Washington shows that it is difficult to get an education under the arrangements of the localities cited. And this is in part due to indifference on the part of the colored people of those localities. There are newspapers published in these vicinties, papers by Negroes, and while they voice political woes, social woes, civil woes, they are not burdened with the woes of poor educational facilities. Cries do not come from the South northward of poor educational facilities as they come about the other things mentioned. This does not disturb Dr. Washington's contention in the least, unless there follows the impression that education is so rare a jewel that Negroes cannot possess it. The condition he cites makes for difficulty of getting anything like an education in many localities—a free education such as the boast of our country. Dr. Washington says, himself, that there are white persons who are able to help in the matter, but they do not know the conditions, and that they are generally surprised when confronted with the facts. This means indifference on the part of those whom it most concerns. All of this does not lessen Dr. Washington's argument, as said before. It means that the land is well in keeping with the boast of free education. If there is failure it can be charged up in part to the individual. Dr. Washington has shown up the disadvantages under which the Negroes labor in obtaining an education. For as indifferent as they may be they are none the less citizens, paying taxes, and in all ways subscribing to the duties of citizens. They should fare similarly, or approximately so, in accordance with the burdens borne. The theory of enjoying educational conveniences according to the taxes paid, doubtless, has had something to do with short term schools and poorly paid teachers. But Dr. Washington gives figures of contrast, showing the duration of schools for colored children and white children which do not keep in sight the view of school according to taxes. In support of his contention we quote in part what he has to say, showing the amazing difference of opportunity: "In district 28, Edgerton County, the public school for colored children was kept open by public funds about two and one-half months, and the teacher was paid at the rate of $15 per month. In Anderson County, district 40, the colored public school was open two months and closed ten months. In Barnwell County, district 31, the public school was in session one month and closed eleven months. South Anderson has the length of the school term for the colored people, outside the cities and large towns, is from two to four months. "Take, for example, Wilcox County, Alabama. Here there are 6,200 white people and 27,600 black people. There are 1,884 white children of school age and 10,667 black children of school age. For the education of these white children there was spent in 1912 $23,900, or $17 per capita; for the education of the 10,000 black children there was spent $3,750, or 37 cents per capita. According to the report of the State Superintendent of Education of Alabama, there are 328,024 colored children in Alabama. Of this number 190,000 did not enter any school at all during the last year, and 90,000 of those entering were in school only from two to three months. Thus it is seen that in the single State of Alabama there are almost 200,000 colored children who apparently are growing up in ignorance, notwithstanding all that has been done and is being done. In Alabama, as in other States, some are being educated in the elementary departments of the industrial schools and colleges, but their number in proportion to the total is very small." The whole article set forth by Dr. Washington in the Outlook will have to be read in order to get a satisfactory view of the situation. He has set forth the necessity of a general education, insisting that it is in the interest of the State—the general nation no less than to the individual. NEWS OF SOUTH BEND, IND. (By Wm. DeLyons.)

Gives the Public Concerning the Purity of Their Remedies. Last Saturday an official from the office of the Internal Revenue Collection went to the laboratory of the Mayes Medicine Co. and seized samples of the blood collected by this company. They were taken away and tested to ascertain as much of the government requirement in their composition.

Tom Cross was busy in the theater, but many friends, who were glad to show Tom visit the old town. He is well thought of here. Odessa Crosby and another friend were invited to the same welcome. The theatrical situation remained the same with the exception of the sudden departure of the director, who was the mysterious disappearance of Elio Johnson; therefore a rumor which, if true, shows that Mr. Butler, though an actor of ability, has a soft spot in the theater. It is likely due him as a man who has sought and learned things that are good. It is to be regretted that such a good act could not remain intact. It simply subdued the audience, and that good colored acts do not hold together. It is hoped by many here that Tom Cross will be a star later. It is also rumored that Mr. Olio Dempfsep has become interested in the Crown Garden theater, but no one can verify this rumor here. The shows presented the week of the 23d were as follo . . . The Lincoln The bill opened with Butler & Cooper in a sister act that was interesting. Butler and Cooper tated a double act than Miss Cooper's former partner. For an emergency act it was very good, as Trixie and Kinkie are good versatile perform- ... followed, doing Mr. Williams' big hit, "Late Hours," in his own peculiar style that would have given him a lot of attention he had at home and overlooked, and he really gets something out of this song. He is not imitating Burt Williams but crowding him. Cliff is a . . . The Stock Corset strings and suspender straps were in danger when they presented a risk of injury with roaring side-splitting situations. It was well costumed and acted. Miss Bessie was also attractive in Zulu regalia. It is getting hard to tell which act presented by the woman. The Poklyn It is the same old story at the Pekin—good show and good houses in good weather. Colonel Brown held this same story for the crowd. I could not imagine he was comfortable, but he stuck to his post and though Mr. Bennet was under the cover the show was successfully presented. Black Sisters were not what their name implies. They actually are a good attraction. They opened the oil mill and the girls are prettier and sing well. They resemble each other enough to be twins. One renders a baritone solo. The other is finished with the "Memphis Blues." It caught the audience. The Iowa sisters are good. Crosby, T. Massingale. A girl and boy from home was given a reception as they made their entrance. Harry's comedy kept the house in an uproar. They sang, then Harry and the crowd played the fire. Then Odessa put a song over in that Crosby style that made Goldie famous. She could have easily taken the stage, but she did his slide trombone and played the "Blues" assisted by the audience. In the closing, Miss Crosby comes with her cornet, and they remind you of a very pleasing act. --- tion brought up was "Did Napoleon ever have any military training?" Houston declared the bid. The bet was decided by the duchess. Dummy Nash is declared to be the best mologist in town. Read The Freeman at the following places: Herman Janssen's, Artie Brossey's, Fraz Johnson's, Willie Cass.

NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER REOPENED A Bill of Good Attractions Including a Special Tango Number. According to the announcement, the New Crown Garden Theatre management, Owlesy and Gardner, open the play on the evening of March 23rd. A splendid, appreciative audience was present on that evening. Good audiences ruled the evening. Jukie Hellen—Basballist. Jakie Hellens is a clever kid; he is scarcely more than that. But he's out there, all right. He puts over two good songs, assures me. He is the other one. The other one is, "I Do This is a great take-off on a marriage ceremony, where he puts the questions to the candidate for matrimony to the couple do. It's a fine burlesque and goes big." Jakie is at his best when he does his base ball stunt. He has been seen playing with his hands when he showed up rigged out as a tosser of the ball. He imitated some of the well-known players of the sport, and the characteristics are well known. He did a neat buck dance in the meanwhile. He made a big hit. Jakie will go east after he closes wake up. He will play a engagement on the Dudley time. Bessie Walker in Three Song Hits. Bessie Walker is a new face to the Crown Garden patrons and a pretty lady, and rightly gowned when she presents her appearance. She sings "On the Way to Mandela," and in the much she sings in a voice accordingly. This is effective Her "Million Dollar Ball" is of the same quality that the Walker does very successfully. Her last song was "Chattanooga, Tenn." It went to the hearts of the audience and she was in love with her when coming to that city—Chattanooga. The audience was inclined to her, but Nor could be blamed very much. She has a voice, a beautiful contralto, in keeping with her striking personality. She was a success in every way men- Ramsey & Brown, Kid Impersonators Anita Ramsey does a delightful girl kid. Magnolia Brown does a delightful boy kid. They furnish a girl kid. They work with work. Magnolia, as a boy, is rather mispleasant. He puts some posers by way of questions to the tempting looking little Anita. Her individual work is good, refreshing. Anita sings "Don't Tell Mamma What I want," she tells out of action and steps, it is pretty done; it is a hit. Magnolia sings "Bobbing Up and Down." She accompanies it with movements that move her around, waving a winsome smile all through the work. Their dancing and geta-way stunts win big for them. They are pretty girls, and are nicely cos- Washburn and Piper, Comedian and Straight. Washburn and Piper, as a team, is among the best in the business. Washburn is the best on the stage.
