W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallach Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16—The official ministers of the District are enclosing the heartiest enthusiasm over the letter received this week from Dr. Katherine H. McCarthy, an over-thought guardian of the race's welfare follows up his voluminous correspondence with the officials of the race, and the minister's question that the Negroes everywhere unite on a given day and voice their sentiments touching this all-important question of color discrimination on the ground. The ministers deeply moved to action by the letter of Dr. Washington, but, in response, and social clubs gave evidence of willingness to take up the cudgels and lead a hand for equality of service on railroad trains, and in the waiting rooms and restaurants in railroad stalls. "Railroad Days," June 7 and S. Dr. Washington suggests that Sunday, June 7, and Monday, June 8, be at side as "Railroad Days." On one hand, the government may not have the time to clean-cut fashion the people—churches, society groups, business organizations, and other groups—because of the "unions" of|=h promotions of a quasi-public charac¬ in-hold meetings and authorize representatives to go directly to the rail¬ and authorities in the several local¬ and national areas. The proposed rule also has the same long- and clean-cut fashion the different cities under which the Negroes labor in the U.S. are employed. The proposed rule also has the same draw in the matter of traveling accommodations. To facilitate action and to secure the largest participation generally, it is suggested that the com¬ mies of the rule should be addressed and that the speeches be short and straight to the point at issue. The statements may vary in some measure, such as the use of the word "tradition" that exist in the community in question. The local committees can best judge the point upon which to lay the ground for the action. The proposed rule also is approaching the authorities. The discriminations must common seem to be inferior car service on trains, denial of service, and the lack of the ability to entrain controlled by the railroads and inconvenient and unsanitary conditions in the waiting rooms set apart for col¬ lebrating the time.

The United voice of 10,000,000 American Xpress, speaking on a single theme, is now the only time to pass unheeded. The movement has been made to the public and financial, and Dr. Washington is also in the interest to have the railroad leader in the impression of the blight of the population, as well as justice of the rule. The proposed rule is also in the interest of the will. Dr. Washington, by Dr. Washington, and the ministers of the As this matter before our people, In my opinion, if this matter is taken up vigorously, and the principal railroad officials are approached and talked to directly and frankly, a change for the better will soon take place in every part of the country where conditions of public travel are not now what they should be."

We waste no strength by dividing the force for Negroes among a half dozen men who have no chance at all? Why may not some plan be devised by which the minister be devised and go to the credit of one man—one who seems to be really in the fight? Why not agree to stand for one minister? Why not agree to draw? I make no suggestion as to which should pull off. That might be reached by an arbitration committee, selected by a ministerial association. I have counted up the total vote for colored candidates. I did it to reach the enormous sum of $25,656, more than the assistant at the head of the procession.

Four Thousand Votes Cast for Miss Smith, formerly of Chicago, at 5 Cents Apiece, Bringing Total Amount of 200- Towards Lincoln Hospital Fund. All-Star Musical Given at Blackford Street A. M. E. Church, Under Direction of S. A. Rattill—F. Fowler Brown, Tenor; Mrs. S. A. Rattill, Soprano, and Ralph Jones, Violinist. By Noble Sissle. Everything in the voting line for the year has gone with a sweeping victory for the winner and so in the case of the hospital youngestographer of The Freeman, in the recent state-wide popularity contest for the benefit of the youngestographer known as spotted-scoped worker, Mrs. W. E. Brown. Miss Smith was crowned queen of the carnival Thursday the day after the victory, the victory came after two weeks' announcement of her entry into the contest which ended last Saturday night. Immediately upon the announcement her many friends here and at her home Chicago have voted. Many votes were received from people she and never seen, but who acknowledged their interest in her winning award. But that she was affirmed by The Freeman. The sweeping victory was the biggest surprise of the season, as no one knew that such a transepiduous number of votes were being cast for the young lady. Chicago Sends One Thousand Votes. Chicago alone sent one thousand votes for the success of the victor, which shows that although the Hitter maid has been away from her home MISS MAYBELLE SMITH. for over two years yet her affable disposition has evidently left a lasting impression in that great city where many of the people are cold and indifferent, but because there are so many people coming to the place and so much going on there, the people are cold and indifferent, but pretty apt to be forgotten, but this little girl seems to be the exception. I am darn ring-wearing and she is awarded with it but it is not consideration with the "queen," as her constant comments on the outcome of the contest is a revelation of so many fragrances. We are all proud of her great showing, who joined us many a winner when we readied. Everyone here worked hard for her victory and gave their loyal support. A detailed account of the crowning will be given in next week's issue. CHAMPAIGN. ILL --- accdent. The Home Protective Association, office 32 North Hickory street C. M. E. Mission.....Rev.

(By Cary B. Lewis.) Freeman Bureau, 3000 South State St., Atlanta, 8058. Automation, 7233. CHICAGO, Ill.—Jack Johnson with his affable smile and common sense has proven a hero. With all the per-secutions of the federal government in this city, the United States Court of Appeals has handed down the decision that Johnson returned to Chicago and receive a small fine for the violation of the Mann Act. On the first charge the Court of Appeals in a lengthy decision today by Judge Francis E. Baker, Johnson is ordered to be re-sentenced. On the second charge a new trial for Johnson is ordered with the proviso that there is to be no new trial unless the government has additional evidence to support its charge in the respect named. Under the law, it was said today, the pugilist could not possibly be given, on his re-sentence, a greater penalty than at first, a year and a day and $1,000 fine. "I have cabled Johnson to return," said Benjamin Bachrach, his attorney. "Unless the government has more evidence, Johnson cannot be tried on the second count. As far as the court is concerned, it simply means that at the worst he will receive a small fine or a light sentence." From what can be learned from those who know, Johnson will not return to this country. Editor R. S. Abbott to Go Abroad Editor R. S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender, has been invited by Mr. Abbott to be his guest at the next fight of the champion.

It is very likely that the braining and fearless Chicago editor will accept the invita- Miss Mable Smith Wins.

Daily Times: "The book and picture is up to date and is in the same form as the Bible. Webb's texting to prove that the Savior is mankind was a black man seems to be sufficient to put those who oppose the proposition upon their proof. Now that the chain of evidence presented by Mr. Webb appears so complete. It is strange that none of the d-l-yers in the Bible are more than the same, but the same is more than the same."

Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow, Scotland. Editor The Freeman. Editor The Freeman. This is the letter promised your numerous race-loving readers, leaders, hosts and all others whom it may concern. For the last twenty-five years I have felt the great need of some means be created in connection with our people in all parts of the world. The need is altering, it is true, but growing no less in magni-ness, feelings went out to and for the ignorant, lazy negroes who yearly crowd in the progressive negro in his midst. The ignorant won't do it either so where are you? I say the prosperous, educated, self-sufficient United States and elsewhere needs to be unearthened. In the eyes of Germany, factions you are not the ideal negro. Why not? Because you know too much about your bacha yourself enough; your department is too brilliant to hold up to ridicule the wide world, hence the pits, presses and public are all at one on the point of keeping your brilliant praiseworth attainments under earth. Your wealth, prosperity, intelligence and sobriety is gauged by the ignorant and negro or scape-goat from other parties of the world who is stranded and settled. And to the extent of existence on profit earned from selling herbs, pills, drawing teeth and selling toothache powders and living in some slum district associating with all sorts of quorumable characters, drinking pum, whiskey and a lot of a good, and visiting rowdy dance halls, drinking clubs and pubs, and other dens for vice and rowdyism. They are Germany's Britain's and a nation of America's ideal negroes. These are polled and are up to the foreign, ignorant masses as both a fair example of the negro in general and of American negroes in particular. It must be true, because it is in the press, that is the power of the editor-age. The women, women journalists, negro lovers and leaders represent the content to be thus represented obscured, submerged, debased, decried, ridiculed and classed forever as the foregoing in foreign countries without an�ing to the best of the known of you? If you are I am not and if my intention to set on foot a system of distributing light and truth as to what the better class of negro is doing everywhere, and the American negro in public is the obscured, progressive My first steps shall be to get all the information I can from all quarters. America in particular is the fountain head and I shall search for light and truth from the bay to the gulf and from ocean to ocean and I ask for the opinion of the old and young, traveled and untraveled, to tell me briefly and plainly all they know that may be of interest to the progressive negro at home and abroad. When I shall have heard from every race-loving, progressive, or unleashed, and the general interest to the state of the world, the progress of the new and the new. The unleashed, or unleashed, to establish what shall be known as the Universal Library and Bureau of Negros Statistics and Progressive Information of the Dark Race. The object is to unearth the doings of the progressive negro everywhere, old and young, irrespective of religion, politics, country, profession or vocation and to keep the best to the fore all over the world—and to fight the worst in secret. Information shall be for all nations and the people of the world, women and children, who may seek the advantage of what our race is doing everywhere. The will be many seekers of men and women in all stations of life and from every country and clime.

Mr. George L. Knox, Editor The Indianapolis Freeman, 220 West Vermont State University. Dear Mr. Knox: I have sent to the colored newspapers of the country railroad officials in answer to letters which I had written to these railroad officials regarding the poor and unhappy people in many parts of the country. The interest of the railroad people has been aroused in many ways, the fact that it is worth while to treat it with care. Now, let us follow in this whole matter by setting aside Sunday, June 7th and Monday, June 8th, to be known as the People's Day, or days, or on some other day near these dates, I want to suggest with all the people, through churches, secret societies, business leagues, woman's groups, and other agencies, to themselves directly to the railroad authorities and put the committees before them, where we label them, where there is existence unjust treatment. I would suggest that the committees should not be large; two or three good sensible people will accomplish more in making themselves felt than a dozen or two. You can exempt to advise in detail how to bring about better conditions; that matter can best be left to the people to know what the conditions are and know what remedies ought to be brought about, but I would urge in the course of these museums following such situations be given attention; in their contact with the railroad on-call the committees should call attention to these points where local conditions are necessary. 1st. Proper accommodations in restaurants controlled by the railroads. 2nd. Proper accommodations. In the way of sitting the depots controlled by the railroads. 3d. Proper and just accommodations on street cars, steamboats and railroad trains. I want to repeat, that in my opinion if this matter is taken on vigorously and proactively, we will be proactively and talked to directly and trankily a change will soon take place every part of the country where conditions are not so good what they should be. If the committees are appointed on Saturday and the next day, they will be approached on Monday, but the matter of the exact time is, of course, not important; only we should keep in mind that the railroad officials may be impressed with the success of the occasion and the opportunity which is before them to increase their revenues by doing just nine or ten million of their patrons. I wish especially to urge upon ministers and other leaders to give notice of Railroad Day several times during the year. I am equally anxious that the cooled newspaper should call attention to the need to address the matter of the greatest importance and I believe the hard work and concentrated effort will help to change present conditions very noticeably. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Special to THE EYEEMAN Special to THE FREEMAN WEDNESDAY and Friday nights. We are having interesting Bible lessons. Many are seeking biblical life. We are seeking them in our search for archaeological Scriptures. We had a most interesting lesson on "Joseph and His Brethren, Joseph, Jesus, and Wednesday night, deceased." We had a most interesting victory of his brethren. We had another splendid lesson from the four chapters of the Bible, victory of tongues on last Friday night. We decided that God's blessing will rest on the one that tells the truth in love. We decided that God's blessing will rest night night on Proverbs, eighth chapter, subject, "Wisdom."

Patterson, head farmer at the Downing School in the Hamburg Advocate-Verdict, near Philadelphia, has written articles on The Wonders of Tuskegee Institute, and Cary B. Lewis, a professor of sociology at Spendent, has been contributing a similar line of studies to The Freeman Institute, and has out of the visit of these gentlemen to Tuskegee Institute during the recent session of Tuskegee Negro Farmers and Workmen, one sees the wonders of Tuskegee Institute, he is "moved to write," and when he has read the book he knows, he feels that "the half has not been told." Tuskegee Institute must be applauded "Great is Tuskegee Institute and canter T. Washington is its prophet." Cary B. Lewis, of Chicago and Louisville, may become an international teacher, templating a trip to London, to study social and industrial conditions among the working classes of the British Empire, Mr. Lewis could be found for this exacting task. His illuminating and in-depth following his recent visit to the Negro Farmers' Conference, showed him to be politicized and polite. He has always happy faculty seeing things as they and of making the reader see them with him. Mr. Lewis is from Col Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and he is also a watcher of Mr. Lewis' brilliant career with increasing interest and find great satisfaction in noting his steady to the front rank of the profession. “The Gleaner,” a bright little magazine, comes to us from Houston, Texas. Its sub-head motto: “The Bright Side of the Negro Problem” commands it at once to the favor of those of the race who find its pleasure in contemplating the laudable achievements of our people, rather than grovelling in the mire produced by their woes and their weaknesses. “The Gleaner” contains sixteen pages of well-edited matter, and as a frontispiece of its initial work, the cartiers a portrait of Dr. Booker or T. Washington. It is neatly printed in heavy book paper, the type is open and clean, and every feature bears the impress of painstaking care and desire to put the best foot foremost. The magazine is issued by the Douglass Publishing Company of Houston, made up of Herman J. Ford, president and editor; Robert C. Lyons, secretary and associate editor; Dr. B. Jesse Covington, treasurer, and John A. Johnson, business manager. “The Gleaner” has a healthy appearance and ought to enjoy long life and abundant prosperity.

Bishop Clinton describes Mr. Vanderbilt as "one of the most beloved and hearted philanthropist," and tells of his splendid mansion and the institution which the deceased dispensed a charity that made all men and women love him as an elder brother. Bishop Clinton can attend to the fact that the man who made the gift to Mr. Vanderbilt were significantly shown to the church of practically $30,000 to help Y. M. C. A. of $30,000 property was deeded to the colored people of "the land of the church." The man was raised under the Bishop Clinton points rather proudly to the fact that the lion's share of this amount was raised under the stone graduate and a pillar in the Church of Zion. The race loses heavier than the man good man like George W. Vanderbilt is called from works to reward. * Paradoxical as it may seem, meneldom prefer the line of endeavor in which we work. The legitimate teacher, envisions the "hand," the comedian receives, and the teacher would be a tragedian; the teacher would like to be an athlete, while the acrobaf is eager to shine as a thinker; the singers are eager to read the reader of heroes looks forward to the time when he can drop into the kitchen range and sighs for the kitchen range and domestic tranquility, while the quiet glories that might be hers if she could be the center of the dazzling chorus on the stage. And the story will not say, however, that it is this insatiable desire to be something different from what we are, is the basis of satisfaction with existing conditions the forerunner to human advancement and dissection "All the world's a stage, and we are merely players." The Afro-American Ledger of Baltimore, making a study of the compo- munity, the faculties of the thirteen larger schools of the city, and the educa- tion of the Negro, notes that three, Tuskegee, Biddle and Wilber- force, are the largest faculties five, Hampton, Fisk, Atlanta, Dega and Spelman Seminary, have a majority of white teachers; four, How- man, Fisk, Atlanta, Dega and Spelman house, have evenly divided faculties, and Mehary Medical College has two white in a total of twenty-six teach- ers, and Mehary Medical College has two founded and maintained by Negroes, there are colored teachers principally. In those maintained by whites for teaching, there are often a predominance of whites. The Ledger says: "It is not shown that one school, many faculties are more efficient than those of another. Comparing Tuskegee, Wilber- force and Biddle with Hampton, How- man, Shaw, the latter is far more the colored administration. * * * The future seems to indicate that all of these schools will eventually have colored faculties. In others will take a longer time than others." Dr. Booker T. Washington has gone at the railroads in the right way, and his cloquent plea for just treatment for the colored patrons is yielding gratifying results. The "Wizard" appeals to the reason of the magnates through a modern in response to further authoritative way, and in the safety and sanity of which they have the fullest confidence. Letters from officials of the various roads indicate that they have a high sense of justice and right, and the Negro may expect better things their hands to be for future. The responses made by these men of money and influence to Dr. Washington's Century Magazine article should be read carefully by every Negro in the land, and it is not asking too much to suggest that the laity send to each of them from work for the service will be a matter of the industry, received and to voice a prayer for others fervently honed for. The world is ever pleased with evidences of appreciation for services rendered, and railroads are blessed with their share of humanity. And do not forgo to offer for. Washington is the mean time for his timely intervention in behalf of the race which he leads so valiantly and so successfully. Mayor Joseph E. Bell, of Indianapolis, Indiana, chose wisely and well-trained, able editor of The Freeman, as a member of the committee of five to collect and distribute the charity fund donations, shows by the moving picture theaters of the Hoosier capital. The law for day, where an admission fee is charged for private gain; so, the theaters open and give the fees to charitable organizations, duty is to assist in the disposal of this money. This is the first time such an organization has been involved in the State, and Mayor Bell is receiving deserved praise at the hands of the colored citizens all over Indiana for the mention of his colored constituents. It is regarded as an earnest of the desire to maintain the conditions among Negroes than have existed in Indianapolis in recent years. Irrespective of politics, the Negroes with Mayor Bell in the helpful reforms he said to have in mind for the benefit of all concerned. Editor Knox man.

The Indianapolis aggregation started out most auspiciously, winning the first game 4 to 0 over the Cleveland fellows. Why not boost Dr. Booker T. Washington's railroad days proposition? The object is to get better accommodations in the railroad coaches set aside for colored people. June 7th and 8th are the days. We of this vicinity should feel very thankful for the beautiful weather Easter Sunday. Had it been otherwise there would have been considerable lamenting and mental cursing, if not audible. Its the world's way. We remember kindly and long our disapointments, but take the good, satisfactory things as a matter of course. The reconstructed A. B. Cs. of Indianapolis, one of the leading teams of colored baseball players, promise great things for the season of 1914. It is expected that Rube Foster's Giants, the Lincoln Giants of New York and the Cubans, will come with fear and trembling when scheduled for this city. The team had a brilliant game, but the great crowd poured out to see the game and to see what the new manager had up his sleeve. Dr. Booker T. Washington has suggested that June 7th and 8th be set apart by the Negroes of the country as "Railroad Days". He thinks that some forms of expression should come from the race generally wherein the railroad officials are asked to remedy the poor coach evils—the coaches that are set aside for the Negroes in the South. He seems to be of the opinion that if the railroad authorities are forcibly reminded of their short comings that they will do what is expected of them by the colored people, also what is expected of them by the laws. This method of getting our own may not appeal to all, yet we know that we are not making much headway in some of the essentials to civilization in its best sense. We will lose nothing in a concentrated effort to bring the companies around to their sense of duty. The pulpit is meant to do its part on June 7th, which is Sunday. The editors can get in their work for the same day, since our publications are mostly read on the Sabbath day. The lecture platform could use Monday evening to advance. Will we hold up the hands of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the man who is playing such a large part in bringing about a better understanding be tween the races? JACK JOHNSON GETS NEW TRIAL The United States Court of Appeals at Chicago last Tuesday reversed the judgment of the lower court sentencing Jack Johnson, negro fighter, to the Joiliet penitentiary for one year and one day on "white slavery" charges, and granted the negro a new trial. Johnson was also fined $1,000, which is likewise set aside. Johnson is now in France, and can not be extradited for violation of the Mann act. By the decision the case is returned to the lower court for resentence on one of the counts in connection with Johnson's transportation from Pittsburgh to Chicago of Belle Schreiber, a white woman. On the count concerning violation of the commercial clauses of the Mann act a retrial is ordered, as the upper court held that Johnson had not been shown to have been guilty of trafficking in vice. According to United States District Attorney Wilkerson the situation of Johnson's bond is unchanged. Date for the retrial will be set in the federal court here thirty days from last Tuesday and the pugilist must be present on the new trial date or forfeit his bond. Johnson's attorney was elated when the opinion was announced. One would think that by the reversal of the judgment that the Negro champion is coming in for better consideration. We are of that opinion, and yet if his coming and standing a mean his probability a better stick to his job of staying away. We are not looking at any man should stand out against the law. We are simply looking at it from Johnson's viewpoint. And, in fact, it is the viewpoint of most men when confronted with imprisonment. His viewpoint is more than that. In his opinion, the object was to toot him and railroad him to prison. The new trial might restore his original status, but it is by no means assured. Can Johnson afford to take the chances? Not if he is making good in France, thus being enabled to reimburse those who lose out on his bond. Or stick Johnson in prison on a charge that would have been con- sturded otherwise would be a nasty piece of work. In the history of our race struggle nothing has been meaner; nothing that promised so much harm; nothing so malignant and meant as a reproof, as a castigation to the race because a white woman entered the "scene." Under the circumstances Johnson did the proper thing in getting away. When the laws, or those manipulating, fail to respect those whom they concern, then they, too, should fail of respect. Any other view pronounces a man less than a man. Not that he can always successfully compete with the "opposition," but he can assert his position and try to establish himself accordingly. Perhaps this is no time to get all wrought up about the matter, since it appears that the tide has set in right for Johnson. But we feel very much as Marc Antony felt when orating over the dead body of Caesar—'My heart is there in the coffin with herer and I must until I return to me. We think that United States Court of Appeals found right when it held that "Johnson had not been shown to have been guilty of trafficking in vice." THE PANAMA CANAL CONTRO VERSY. Not many of our colored newspaper "brethering" have something to say on the ship's toll exemptions business. Last week one of them was out in quite an article, insisting that we had the right to do with our own canal as we please. At first blush it does appear that way and most especially if we know nothing of the situation. When the conditions are known and understood the stoutest among us begin to wobble, if we do not topple over altogether, on the right side. Ours is not a case of isolation or independence in the matter. We found it necessary, at first, convenient to to enter into treaty relations before it was deemed safe to begin the construction. "Article III of the treaty says: 'The canal shall be free and open to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations on terms of entire equality, so that there shall be no discrimination against any such nation or its citizens or subjects, in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and charges of traffic shall be just and equitable.' (2) Our treaty with Panama of November 18, 1903, says: 'The canal, when constructed, shall be opened upon the terms provided by Section 10 of the Treaty into the governments of the United States and Great Britain, on November 18, 1901.' That was the section of the Hay-Paucefonte treaty quoted above, John Hay, secretary of state, assisted in negotiating both treaties." Whether such a treaty was imperative is another question. There is not a shadow of doubt but what our country is obligated to the sisterhood of nations to do what the treaty says. There has been inclination to view ourselves to be free to do as it pleased us, after the manner of proprietorship. The face of the reading declares differently, all parties being equally bound, not to speak of the treaty, but to reserve. The language of the treaty could have been "tighter," but fair minded men, who do not let the wrong kind of patriotism get the better of them, will not fail to see the intent of the instrument. THE JIM CROW CARS SITUATION. Mrs. Embry's letter is timely. It is in the right spirit. She tells a straightforward story of what she experienced, and shameful enough, in view of the quality of the women, as we infer by her communication. In our opinion, the railroad companies will do the better part of what the officials have said, if they are reminded of it often by such persons as Dr. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Julia Embry. We mean persons who call the attention of the officials in a respectful way, asking for a reform in that language in which reforms are asked. It would be much better if the companies entered the work, with the proper, appreciative spirit, rather than being forced. He who is convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The assertion is almost a truism. We know how we have been baffled and beaten in spite of laws, We do not mean humility of speech, but respectability of speech. Mrs. Embry sets forth the conditions of the coaches in which she rode in a convincing way. We are satisfied that the companies do not take pride in giving poorly cared for coaches to the colored people, yet they are of the American people, and who do not believe in being made to do anything much. We can imagine the rest when the colored people have part in the controversy. All else failing we should not forget to try the law—but everything else, until that stern and doubtful necessity. We said last week that public sentiment preceded the law. Such is the case. It is up to us to show those railroad men what is being done in those separate coaches—constantly. The public should know it, for it is the only tribunal for unpopular causes. Somehow the people will wobble right, as it were said by Lincoln, or some other thoughtful individual. This means more than likely, that in the disputes and squabbles of men righteousness will edge to the fore. Little by little in their mad contending the truth is admitted, when every man gets his just desert. To enlarge a little more yet: the Civil war came through the contentions of men, the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the rest of them when the defeated admitted the still great thing of freedom and threw their influence to that end. In Congress, out of Congress, men are yet disputing; they are still contributing to "unallowed" right as a result of their quarrels. When our questions are not reached in a direct way, when they are not cared for in a direct way, we must rely on indirect influence. We are not out of the calculation in these indirect influences. We can help fashion them. We can do this by setting forth our grievances as the poor, weak and deed have done before, and in time we will benefit by those truths and admissions that are flung forward by the vortices of contending men.

The bill at the Crown Garden this week is made up of attractive numbers. The patronage has been a little slow in taking advantage of what is available within the past few weeks, but the management has not let up in the effort to present this theater the house or good shows. THE BLANK SISTERS A Classy Pair of Girls. The Blanks Sisters, Arseclo and Birecla, do some classy turns in novice fashion, with the "Baseball Rag," a vivid characterization of what's seen and heard on the field by "Aint Got Nobody," by Miss Arseclo. The number is pleasingly rendered. The beautiful baritone voice of Miss Arseclo is heard in "In the Garden." In "The Memphis Blues," their dancing is novel, including a number of the new steps. Both are fine appearing. Miss Birecla shimmers in the sattah, down her single number, and Miss Arseclo radiant in purple satin and spangles were good to see. With "Amazon" number, then the quick change or the "Memphis Blues" resumes, the act is a success in every way. PEAT AND HAYES Comedian and Straight. Peat & Hayes are favorites at the Crown Garden. Peat furnishes unlimited fun, and of course through his straight fun, and enter with his accordo "a breezy dance of number steps and movements. Peat goes big when singing "If I Can January and February, I Can March Bight On through. Their own company. Their other numbers are "You'll Miss Your Loving Baby" and "Melody," which are also Mr. Peat's compositions, which is of fine appearance. She was fittingly attired. HATTIE GARLAND Songstress. Miss Garland is an Indianapolis girl, and she has the quality to her. She shears her hair, bows her hair, "You Won My Heart," "Crying for You," and "Wonder If I'm Wasting My Love" she will not be easily on any stage. She looks the part—dignified and artistic. Her wardrobe is good, and she changes throughout her singing. W. S. THOMPSON (Slow Kid) Comedian and Eccentric Dancer Thompson is another Crown Garden favorite. He's a young, old showman, who has been a big fan of Wagenbock's Shows every season, and when he has done for several years. He's a young man, but has seen considerable show service, and he has been a big fan of His eccentric dancing went big. In fact, all he does is entertaining. He hings, "It Was Me" and "Dragging Along." He leaves for his engagement at the Crown Garden. NOTES FROM A RABBIT FOOT CO.

Notwithstanding the fact that the showgirl, the showgirl, the showgirl, is now at the opera house, yet it could plainly be seen after the "Gold Band" had rendered the concert selections, and closing with Beale Arc's opera, "Jogo Blues," it was a settled fact that the band was based at Memphis, Tenn., and the bunch enjoyed a rare treat in the afternoon, when we all assembled down on the levee to witness an open air concert at the Memphis Civic Center.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN FILM CO Meeting With Success "One Large Evening" at the Fayette Treasury, New York The Amsterdam News of New York in the 1920s lamented lowing to say of the Afro-American One of the best visualizations of every day life was thrown on the screen at the Lafayette Theater at the first public show, the title of "ONE LARGE EVENING. There are many scenes of excrutating fun—it is very well-planned that reflect much of the greats of the world—written by Mr. Hunter C. Haynes, who made a careful study of the method of the various white scenarios and directs the film later to his own ideas on the subject with the view of producing his own film production. The theme is simply that the life of the world has been to be enough to make even a five minute entertainment, but as the story develops, one scene leads to an additional one. The film is held in a break. The action is such as might and actually does occur, at times in our even-ness, but it is not to be given to the direction and interpretation, the direction in this character both form and treatment of the story. The story has been succeeded admirably in his effort to producing a comedy production with a wild plan to be made by the two. The production might well be that of a veteran author, so careful is the story knitted together, while the trial is the final stage of the production. The less experienced producer has been scrupulously guarded against the picture caused great laughter and the more the time he has had to catch the spirit of the situation and succeeded in bringing out all the laughable points artistically. The casters are more than the other. The doctor, doctor, Chas, Glipin, the doctor's wife, Marie Young, and the parson, which are very well known. The story is very well known. William, Miss Marie Young has never before been seen to better advantage than Green, and he hasOmega. Miss Smith, the first production of the two were attractive in their respective parts. The picture was manufactured and presented. It was the Afro-Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Topeka, Little Rock, New Orleans, Savannah, Birmingham, New York, Knoxville, New York, Baltimore, and a number of the smaller cities.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Chicago Weekly Review Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. Tyler & Gerwood at the Grand Andrew Trible Makes Merry. Rosa Lee Tyler and Charles Gerwood, the Honolulu baritone-toner, made their first team appearance at the 2012 Olympics from the islands. They appeared in a Hawaiian romance, splendidly set with new scenery and the prison scene from UI Trovatore which was highly apprehensive. She was also asked to be & Beford, in an act which pleased women as, as Archer is a funny silent comedian, Seno, a joke, scoredomeningly. She was also Carrion a monologist and Bob Avallon's troupe of double wire artists, were also on the board. The last half of last week made her a master of made merry and Bessie Ashley, an attractive actress, who sang and acted the Sylfon's, artistic actors were the Stanley's Seminary girls, which were good, May & Kilduff, who were good, and Hass Brothers, who were fair. The Sylfon's, artistic actors were Brown & Brown, winners; White & White, Jones & Burns, and Malone & Weber. The white tango last Friday was performed by Brown & Brown, winners, Willard & Clifford, McDermott & Hughes and LeRoy & Collins. Fleck Collins managed nicely and Mr. Barry, who has recovered from a fright, contends last Sunday, Parker & Cross winners, White & White and Eljah & Taylor. Shattuck Comedy Four at the New Monogram—Giles Springs Goosebumps All the acts except the Heisler Sisters, a white team which did not get the last Monday evening when the Shattuck quartet, Frazier, Carter, Douglass made their reappearance and gave much more good dancing, lanky good dancing, comedian, who tells clean lies, was a jolly feature especially the comedian, who is very clever, but sang a suggestive song boldly introduced by good string he will be a big winner. Last Tuesday's tango had brown & Brown Jones, Jones & Brown Jones, Jonne, and Willingham. Manager Klein left for a trip to Louisville, Harry C Jenkins, late stage manager Grissin, great manager in charge during his absence. Montgomery & McClain at the Mono gram—Fanny Wise and Miller & Miller If we are to have an immaculate conception of real fun, Frank Montgomery is the actor who supplies it, and his card song, copied after Bert Williams, was enacted in his own original story. Bloreen McClain, who is a clever little one, gives good support. Miss Fanny Wise, the Red Moon star, returned more popular than ever and received an ovation. Irvin Miller, the actor and literary scholar, of the Rock University, and Ethel Biggs was a modern paper-date team, and somely costumed and a credit to the extra good quality full house present to alter the management. Dollie Stewart and Henrietta Brown, a good alto, was a splendid singing team and Miss Stewart's soprano was heard to a surprising advantage. Big Doings at the Photo-Play House. "The Confession," in three parts, held forth at the States and "When Men Would Kill" at the Lincoln, both houses of the Colkin enterprises. "The Queen of America" was the bill at the Phoenix and the Fountain had good tendance. The Washington announces a big card for Saturday and Sunday. Miss Bessie Hicks is now pianist at the Alamo and gives good satisfaction. Censor Cary Invades the Movies. Rev. A. J. Cary, pastor of Institutional church, colored Chicago censor stock, and the Afro-American Film Company of New York, billed for the States theater last Monday evening, the picture, dissected by the character was that of a minister in flirtation. There was but one object in the picture, the character ever, less damaging than some I have seen produced by white film companies. Chas. Glipin, the well known actress, has to be careful hereafter, in comedy, to produce a legitimate play and the art of composing the character by passing judgment upon all their pictures before sending them out. To get wise quickly the art of duplication by passing judgment upon all comedy plays but I don't see how that could legally be done or be generally approved of.

SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING Smart Set Company Lavishly Entertained at Famous Goldfield Hotel, Baltimore, Md. By Salem Tutt Whitney The sumptuous banquet served at the Waldorf Goldfield hotel, Friday, April 11, 2014, was a celebration of Rufus Byars, managers of the Howard theater, in honor of the Smart City initiative, which managed two weeks of record-breaking business in Washington and Baltimore cities where they consider that these cities were placed in the heart of the nation, the attendance was nothing short of phenominal. Although the last of the Smart City initiatives eastern cities, so far the Smart Set holds the record for large attendance. Mr. Thomas to banquet all rooms that play the Howard during their engagement. This was not feasible because of the limited hotel at the Howard, so it was unanimously agreed to transfer the seat of festivity to the Smart Hotel, the place made famous by that marvel, the lamented Joe Gans. The selection was a happy one, and the Dahney and Dahney and a coterie of connent assistants saw that everything was properly for the company's edification. The palatial dining room was gorgeous, decorated, while the brilliant lights shone ruby shades, shone upon cutlery, chinaware and cut glass of great value, and rays workmanship which resulted in brilliant liddess colors. Tables, stretching half, grooved beneath a prodigal supply of delicious viands, the curtissence of the culinary art, calculated to the thirst of the most exact culinary. Several notable persons were presidee of the compass, president Negro Associated President, president respondent of Washington, D. C.; Hon. John M. McBee, real broker and society lion of Baltimore; Mc Fred Tilden, politician and officiant; Manz, Mc Beb Young, real broker and society lion of Baltimore; Mes. Yuba Bake sof Atlantic City; Miss Babe Brown, of Baltimore; O. Podee of Jacksonville, Fla. Miss Thomas and Whitney and Bryars andutt occurred radition at omnisite ends represented the Smart Set company. Mr. R. W. Thomson was unanimously chosen to master for the occupation, an unanticipated selection but a felicitious one. Mr. Thomson is distinctly a native of Baltimore, with identities of this and other nations, one whose business it is to know the great, the "near-great," the "has-mailed," and the "private affairs." Thomson is never so much in his natural element as when officiating at an event, with an ardent interest, will stand for a quick summary of R. W. T. After the heavily laden speech, in conversation, he an oratorical gem, possessed of an adequate vocabulary, an extensive knowledge of speech, his address was a rare combination of wit, humor and paths, that hold the listeners snellily. In judgment in introducing the different sneakers; his remarks were conspicuous knowledge of the proposed speaker and his affairs. During the course of the evening, Mr. Thomson facetiously warmed a warm bond of fellowship between Washingtonians and Baltimoreans and that it was quite likely that Washingtons annexed Baltimore. The annexation clause met with serious objection and was met with sarcastic remark that Baltimore donated the land that now constitutes the District of Columbia and that Washington has annexed from the property overflow of Baltimore. Mr. Bob Young sym- pathed with the gentleman from Washington and remarked that he had always considered Washington a suburb of Baltimore and that he hoped to be able to work in Washington. Mr. Beynon would be incorporated into the great commonwealth of the monumental city of Washington. Mr. Beynon was in an anecdotes and told a fewugustible anecdotes of S. H. Dudley's boyhood days. He also complimented the man in his chosen-theory remarks. Mr. Beynon directed the burden of his speech-making upon his chief, Mr. Thomas, who told of his experiences in building young paying investment. He also outlined a plan to build ten colored theaters in the east. Mr. Thomas purposes to orate about the $20,000 young men, who will pay $2,000 weekly for fifth the sum that most young men throw away weekly, the money to be deposited in the Washington bank and for the erection of the theaters. As Mr. Thomas explains it, the plan is entirely feasible, and the material is its simplicity. Mr. Cornwell spoke of the great good a first colored show could accomplish. He said that a good color show not only helps to eradicate racial rebellion, but also appropriate channel for the exploitation of the talent and the artistic potential of the day was not far distant when every city would have its colored theater where colored companies could play and colored patrons would be able to see the exploitation of jim clownism and segregation. After the speeches there was a silent toast to the departed, and the merry party dispersed to the sweet strains of "Auld Lang Syne." GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATER, PHILADELPHIA Enthusiasm was rife at this theatre all week, when large audiences gave a demonstrative welcome to Kenner a Williams, who made a first appearance at the night. At the close of their act, there was a sort of summing up of the performances, and the quets were passed across the footlights to the favorites who were the headliners this week. Miss Williams's performance everything was clean and new. Some of the most remarkable eccentric dancing yet on the stage of this week presented this week by Henderson and Henderson. Both persons are agile, but when they get into mazes of their eccentric dancing they fairly astound the audience. The necessity of the whirling motion. The act is a trifle slow at first but it soon becomes a jubilant work with a spontaneous freedom that permits them to exploit W. M. STOVALL STRONGER WITH PRESENT PARTNER. New Female Member of "Old Folks" Adds Strength to Eccentric Portrayer of Antique Characters. By Herbert T. Meadows. The team of Stovall and Stovall, which closed a week's engagement at the Booker in Washington Theater Sunday, brought a crowd among the theatergoers as any appearing here this season. The peculiar eccentricity of the male member stamps the booker's face on his class comedians on this circuit. Probably there is no other, as young, capable of portraying so typically the anatomy of a stage play, as he prompted by curiosity compare the eccentric character on the stage with the natural man in private life, so I wanted to get to know him in his dressing room, but I found I could not get to the inner man through his grotesque makeup, for he seemed imbalanced. I found the impression character and gave it by the impression surdity. I then visited him at his rooming place, where I was delighted in the final look. I handsome and studious individual. Tall, handsome and studious, too much taken up with his professional work, for his mental faculties grinding out that original flow of idea he is famous. My first information was that he was born in Louisville, Ky. June 29, 1888. Although not yet a professional, he was a perseverance of more than fourteen years THE WORLD'S FIRST BLACK WOMAN Bell Studio 9 MJ. STOVALL AND STOVALL. before the footlights. Starting out at the age of 10, he got his first school play in the South and West. After seven years of this life, he spent a season with the Miles, taking up the leading comedy role and playing the principal theaters in Canada. His next engagement was with the Miles, where he were managed by Robert Miles, the present assistant manager of the United Theatrical Time. Following that, he joined the vaudeville stage, with Raymond Ellis as partner. After a season's success he joined with Felix Harris and scored a hit with the Miles, then spun with his first female partner, Miss Sadie Brown. Their tour was confined to white theaters in the South, where he first appearance here last year with Nina Mitchell, who was his teammate, before he went for a second time here was for two weeks, and they were a big success. Not only is he an actor of quality, but a song comedy that he has been working on. This much is evident from his success. --- a lot of nonsense at the same time. Sensational in some of its features, but not in others. It has *of its kind*. This act is also well rough and tumble, ground, table and good, and is not taking any dust from her predecessors. Their antics are mirth-provoking and every bit of fun they give, and when Marshall in their second week kept everybody happy, and when Marshall named Dudley the second, and their tango made the audience scream. Bailey and Tears kept up the fun pace and slide trombone selections, melody and were received with approbation, and made a hit with their cornet and slide trombone selections, all of their touching quality that we as a race of people are noted for, and all of their touching quality that we as a race of people are noted for, Sunbeams, ten in number. The appeal of the songs was instant and there was much enjoyment and in the anthem they were introduced which the audience enjoyed, and a bill well up to the standard maintained by Manager Gibson at this time, reserved sale for Easter week is big.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE LET THE LOCAL ALAMEDA TERMS ACCOUNT FOR THE FINITE INTERNATIONAL BOXING UNION MET IN SWITZERLAND. MET IN SWITZERLAND. THE BOXING CHAMPIONS ARE DECLARED. FRANK MORAN IN INDIANAPOLIS (Ry Billy Lewis.) On April 11th, the International Boxing Union met in Switzerland and did some things. We did not do anything bad, even some of the members did fail to popular approval. This same commission, or some other one under the same name, Jack Jack Jack, championship some more. If it were the same union has undergone a change of heart. At that time, the commission had resolved to resolutions, and that one of them. Just what the status of the union is, is generally known. I meet the authority, authorizing it, but it is not very much talked of in this country. The necessity of such a union is plain to see. According to information representatives were present from France, Belgium, and the United States. America promised to be a later time. June 4th is the time for this meeting; Geneva, Switzerland, the place, is where whether self-constituted it should be. Who put the senators in the box came near deciding the thing as it would. Who put the senators in the box according to the dispatch. The wisdom will have to be changed up to the new time. France, with the result of the unions of the International Boxing Union as to who's who as it concerns the heads of the divisions of the box- *Playweight*, Percy Jones; bantamweight, Johnny Coulon; featherweight, Johnny Kibane; midweight, Bichir; lightweight, vacant; vacant, vacant; light heavyweight, Sam Langford. The heavyweight title was declared to be pending between Jack and Johnny Sam Langford, the winner before the first. If either of the two refuses to sit at that time he shall be deprived of his claim to the championship." the chances are that the decisions of the union will stick, since they in the most part stand for the best sponsorship provision it is doubtful if it should be so strict. If Sam Langford fails to carry out his duty to carry out the injunction of the union. By a strict construction, a fight would be fought when, more than likely, it is meant that Johnson must accept Langford's challenge provided he post the required amount of money. And he must be doing about with his championship. The title is his by the laws and private something that he may dispose of at his will. Of course he should hope to gain motive by meeting the champion. Beyond this Johnson has no right to reserve him for a challenge contested for; every three months if necessary. The ruling also applies to Moran in overcomes Johns.m; he must meet Langford. That the heavyweight championship lay between Jack Johnson and the two fighters will not take kindly to. I can see cause for forcing Johnson to fight a competitor whether he will or not; I can see that Sam Langford, in the case of the two fighters Johnson as a rival, I can not see that the championship lay between Johnson and Langford in such a sense as to compel the two to fight it out. But the difference is not great and perhaps the competition gives out in the matter will stand. --- Frank Moran, the man who will meet Jack Johnson in Paris, was in Indianapolis last week. I inform you that Mr. Moran he called his engagement at the Columbia Theatre after showing three days. went to the theatre he had pulled up in front of me away. As a good, faithful reporter, I had to have something. I asked the "gateman" when would Mr. Moran appear at some other show—some other day. I asked the "gateman" when would Mr. Moran will not appear at this show. I concluded that he would appear at some other show—some other day. I concluded that he would not appear again until he had whipped Jack Johnson. In the huesage of Bert Williams it was a until he had whipped Jack Johnson. I missed. It was significant. Perchance I may never lay mortal eyes on a man who would be million dollar puncher. For the event to failure, there "won't be no show." I feel keenly my disappointment; for in thinking about persons and actions not in the same manner as soldier on paper, merely. According to the newspapers, the candidate for champion heavyweight honors did not use them as had as follows. Frank Moran, the heavyweight, who is matched to meet Jack Johnson in the press reports say is bigger than any man ever before offered, appeared in the Columbia yesterday. Moran is at his big follow, there is no getting around that, it seems as if he has the punch with his not yet gone to appear a bit slow at the present time, but that may be attributed to the fact that he has not yet gone into active training months' distant. He boxed a short exhibition with Glenn Coagley at both performances yesterday and was schedled on the Ft. Wayne fighter again today. AUSTRALIAN WRITERS SAY SAY LORDS FOR HIW WINS, FOR HIW Day Brisonen, the former Indianapolis welterweight fighter, whose retirement from the ring was recently announced, and who is now managing Milburn Saylor and his local lad who has put the K. O. sign in the heaviest weights in Australia, writes to reporting editor of The News, indulging tales telling of Saylor's face with Hershey, where down for the count before the Hershey in round 12 rounds a month ago. All abbreviations are from Sydney papers. All of them speak of Saylor's occipital pouch less than our old friend, the proper cup, with another name. The papers of Coy might have had a pachaein if he had a pachaein.

A. B .C.'S AND THE T. T.'S AGAIN. A. B. C's Playing Winning Ball From The Word Go. Defeats The Well Known Taste Tells Aggregation. The weather was ideal for the opening of the base ball season last Sunday, when what Taylor's reconstructed A. B. C. C's looked like and to see what the boys could do. It was thought that the A. B. C. C's of last year would be pretty well shot to pieces. The club has been pretty good, and the cent. of the present club was of the club of last year. Turner, Selden, Hutchinson, Jeffries, Hannibal, Bartlett, and others. They are considered a satisfactory group by the fans. The team last Sunday was with a crack team, Taste Tells. Both teams put up a good game of the shade of difference being in favor. Both boys lost a few good opportunities to score, which, perhaps, will not happen game when the two clubs meet again. In the run of the game there were a few errors that should not have happened in the big league playing. The pitching on both sides was good. Of Bartlett was particularly so. Wade was the best. Arm John in the sixth inning the score was 1 to 1 in favor of the A. B. C's. His quick delivery was his feature. He caught-several of them napping in these unexpected deliveries. He assisted in not less than one-third of the time, this time, perhaps one-half of them. When Steel Arm John Taylor took the box the crowd gave away to its owner, he got off vertically, and the crowd wished to see if he had the goods on him. He got off a little bad from the start, but no pitches were thrown. He "constant in his inconstancy"—no one knows what his ball is until it is right. He got on a reactive, puzzling, getting on to him will be difficult, because his art is that you don't get on to him. To put it in another way, the Ormes of the T. T.'s signalized himself by a fine one-hand catch, falling up a ball in the meanwhile, coming off a similar stunt in the left field. He had about a half dozen fine chances, lost one of them. His assistant sold him a did a double, was a fine exhibition. The maneuvers of the new management considerable interest. He is also a part owner of the team, being associated with Bowser. Mr. Bowser has some money to advance base ball interest among the colorful players, two promises to the followers of Bowser to run for their money. The brilliant management great encouragement.

This is my malden effort at writing for the newspapers, and the only ex-commissioned sport writer's lucrative pastime is that it is done at the request of The Times, and the institutes my apology to them for invading their territory. I have reluctantly submitted this litter to this number. In defense of myself it is well to outstate that I have directed whatever is necessary to the handling of ball clubs and the training of young players and not to preferring to leave that field entirely to the zealous and jealous sport writer, the sport writers of the other race, they do not like an invasion of their own assumption of any of their preoperative Negroes Handicapped. The Negroes, as is well known, cannot enter the present system of organized baseball. The Indians, Italians, Cubans, Chinese, Japanese and ever-known Christians have been expreed as the first salary is extended an invitation and fat salary is not to be paid by the United States. There are many men of various nationalities today drawing staries larger than that of a United States senior playing under the election of the United States of the National Agreement, though far outclassed by many Ethiopians in every department of the game. Whatever may be the qualifications of the American Player League of the United States, the fact of those qualifications might be, the Negro is out of the present system of organized baseball, and according to the present indications, he is only a stony. Merely proving ability to master the important system of the game does not seem to be a wedge by which the Negro can pry the gate of organized baseball open. The "remedy" of the "Indigenous" and "Indigenous" club, the compounded entirely of Negro clubs, manned by Negro managers. It has been clearly demonstrated to the minds of both the white baseball critics and the general populace of this world, and the "new" is there is both as a player and manager. Where is in has he failed? one would ask. His Failure: He has failed as an organizer. There is a peculiar prejudice that we have to overcome. We are not the other people. We do not mean to argue that by maintaining an organized league of Negroes, a wedge would be built between us and the ranks of organized baseball. I do believe that by so doing our chances of winning are greatly reduced. It is always the fellow who is doing something that can get something to do. Our players are not developed to the highest point for the reason that there are no strings tied to them through 1 C. I. TAYLOR, MANAGER OF THE A. B. C. BASELEH CLUB. organization, and if a manager pin down on a player in order that he be able to win, that player is apt to jump to some other club where he thinks he sees, that player is apt to true or not, for him to idle around, where there is not so much practice, and no such rigid discipline, in whom he believed he saw great possibilities, and yet these same players, in many cases, did not have the ing desire to jump to some other team where the manager would allow them all kinds of privileges detrimental to the player. He had players who haps robbed the race of many a Ty Cobb or a Mathewsman. Organized base- An Advertising Game. Organized baseball is a great advertising agency for the city so fortunate as we owe a lot to the players in the fans toward the home club, not known to fans of independent ball. The lover of the game is the player, who is a position. He wants to see his clubs standing in the percentage columns of the daily papers. He is anxious to follow the players in the patches, the doings of his club while on a trip. He is just as interested in when the team is away from home as when it is playing in its own ground, and the daily papers the team home in a stretch of fifteen or eighteen games, where he calls them "play ball." This, and nothing else, will bring about the recognition of the Negro ball players in the amateur system, the ranks of the present system of organized baseball. The Present System. Under the system which we are playing at the present, neither the players, managers, nor fans have any protections against the players, limb to limb during a single season, until they have worn as many different uniforms as they ought to wear in a time of war. The manager to take his team to a town for a series of games, and leave the town short of from one to six players, said players either having signed on one local club or "got stuck on a woman." Not many seasons ago the writer managed to play on one head on a very important series of games to play. As is my custom, on the day before the series was to be played, I was given a opposition team, and discussed the importance of the series and how necessary it was for us to win it, giving them some points to win. The opposition team, and what would be the duty of each member of the team, not only on the ball field, but in caring for the team, added that no member of the team should take any intoxicating drinks, and I further urged them to retire early, not later than 10:30 what would you suppose happened? It might be well to state just here, however, that it ought to be the desire of the team to have the service of which he is capable, and especially so on important special occasions. Rube Waddell was never loved by the team, but he left Connell Mack without his service and a worthy antagonist of Mathewson back in the middle of the last decade as before, he let the manager and the team know that he never stopped falling from that date. Now, back to my story. This is what happened. The next morning at 5 a.m. I went to the room of each player, so as to be sure of the physical fitness for the playing fray. If my surprise and chagrin that three of my best players had spent the night elsewhere than in their rooms. Included among these eight marauders, the game had scheduled to put the opening game. Of course, I out to hunt them up. Two I never saw at all until time to don our uniforms for the great opening game of this important series, but I ran across the pitcher's back of the game. He looked every bit of all night marauders. His sunken eyes, high cheeks and trembling voice bespoke his utter unfitness for the task I had allotted him for that day. What did I do? Well, I can be imagined that I was very much disgusted man and upon reprimanding the player, he quit the team. He was in a better condition than any other pitcher on the team, too, barring that spree. My sole reason for relating this up places me to the end of the game as he is always hands were tied and there was no way for me to met out the punishment requisite for the offense, which would have been afforded in organized baselings. A league with rules and regulations that can be enforced, is the only remedy. Protection to Players. Players as well as the fans will hall the coming of the League in that they will get larger salaries, but they will be able to demand their pay by a given law. Patrons Protected. Protection, through the organization of a Negro league will come to the thousands of patrons of the present team, who will not only see a spectacle, but a contest, when they journey to the park. C.

He can be found at 114 Upper First street, at 114 Brown Kid Sour, Jack Wetts, Jack Browne. to meet Kid Low first for he says: "I am scared of him. I want the managers and promoters to be busy and of work. I want to meet them all." ADD JAVELIN THROW TO LIST FOR PENN GAMES. PHILADELPHIA—An added event to the program of relay races and field hockey will be held on April 25, will be the javelin throw. Although candidates for the American Olympic teams have participated in the past year, country, it will be the first time that it will appear on a college sporting event and on a pure intercollegiate contest. The idea placed on the program is to give American athletes a chance to practice javelin throwers more able to compete with European javelin throwers in the Olympic games. BLACKBURN STARTS WELL, BUT MUST SHOW MORE. Jack Blackburn, five years ago, the best fighter of his weight in the world in the opinion of many judges, and now attempting the come-back act after spending the intervening years in the penitentiary, made a good start at Philadelphia a few weeks ago, by clearly besting Tommy Howell. The Italian forced the fighting throughout but he could not penetrate the negro's clever defense, and every time that Howell came in Blackburn shot home a straight left to the fact and then rocked Tommy with a hard right to the body. The negro showed much of his old cleverness, but he must beat harder game than Howell to convince ring followers that he is within miles of his old form. It is only reasonable to assume that Blackburn and the men who are financially interested in his come-back were careful to pick for his first encounter an opponent whom they knew he could outpoint. CLABBY TO GET $25,000. SAN FRANCISCO—Jimmy Clabby, calman of the middleweight champion, of Australia on the stream last week and to engage in three fights in the stadium Snow Baker, for which he will be invited. With Clabby went his manager, Lerney Lichtenstein; his trainer, Artie McQueen, and the two lightweight champions, Joe Welling, Clabby's contract specifies that he must be allowed to return to America within three months. The two opponents will be is something he will have to arrive in Australia. Arrangements for the trip were made by Lichtenstein, and the ability is that Clabby will be called upon to meet Eddie McGoorty, Dave Smith and Pat Bradley. Lichtenstein said he had communicated with people in Los Angeles and hnd received assurances that there is nothing in prosecution laws which would prevent Clabby from playing the country should he so desire. SAILORS POOR BOXERS, SAYS R. H. KAIN. Uncle Sam should hire some good teachers of boxing to instruct the boys. Blue in the family of them, majority of the sailors, and are tough, hardy fellows, fond of all kinds of athletics, and many of them are very good. They like to load and fire the big game, about their favorite ships, and they are the best-running team of the world. When the are ashore the man's war's men like nothing better than to test their mettle against that of some others, they are more unfortunately for the sea dogs, they generally come off second best. The cars are aggressive enough and game-buying is very good, even if they get a lot of don't know how to stand properly, nor how to hold their hands, and they are very good. They are the best-running-team of the show-boxing and swing and smash the air into little pieces, but what they do is not boxing, and after they get a bit of work, they are very good. They are very good, even if the sailors are who step in and around, punching them and keeping out of the chance of one's for-delivering the finishing punch which they have no trouble in putting over. It seems shame that the game is not the fellow of the sailors, and they are very good. Perhaps more of these of the box-dining ships than they where else. In the country owing to the number of war-vessels that come to League Island, the war is a small part of the world, the delphia have a splendid chance of seeing the defects of the sea fighters. Of course, the men are very good. Sam Robideau, who is a clever boxer, but their number is rare, and it does not seem to be increasing. With all the other things, the men are very good. learn at least the rudiments of boxing and be capable of holding their arms in any one their weight, but there is an apparent lack of suitable instructors. We have supplied there would soon be a big improvement in the skill of the sailor lad, for there are an intelligent lot of young fellow children learn, and they would not be long in getting a knowledge of the hit-and-get-away game from competent teachers.

Young Attorney Seeks Nomination. Large Colored Practice. The attention of the votes of Marion county is called to the candidacy of George L. Cassidy for the Procedure nomination for Representative in the legislature. JOHN BURKE Mr. Cassidy, wr. is known women to many of the readers of this book, a member of the law firm of Cassidy, man, with offices at 540 Lemcke blog, attracted public attention in many places, was foremost in the fight against the so-called "loan sharks", during which time he adjusts to hundred cases, giving his services free. In a professional way he has a large colored following, due to his independence and fearlessness in espousing the rights of victims of any form of abuse or discrimination. An illustration of this is his efforts in behalf of a well-known colored court, denied the privileges of a local theater after he had bought and paid for his tickets. The case is at present in the courts, being a handled by his firm. In soliciting the support of the colored Democracy, Mr. Cassidy promises, for the elimination of primary election abuses, to support the Democratic platform, to consider 'the interests of his local constituents and the needs of the people' in one pledge: "To serve all the people."
