[Bureau of the Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.]
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22—Society of the last Saturday evening at the Musical Theatre to witness a masterly interpretation of the drama, "The Common Eyes," by the Renaissance Players, an organization made up of the best talent of Brown's handsome playhouse was taken and rarely has a more brilliant audience gathered anywhere. The talent of Brown's handsome playhouse was enthusiastic galore and the fine points of the drama evoked the heartfelt emotions of the critics. Not only was the painstaking work of the actors warmly commended, but the remarkably accurate portrayal of the characters especially for this production by W. D. Nixon and S. D. Milton, came in for its share of the laudation for the animation at Litchfield, and D'Arville Hall were particularly noteworthy, prince as the curse revealed them in their proper lights. The artistic side of the performance was in the skilful use of color, texture, and most producing manager of the race, and well-selected and the individual characters were presented with a degree of care and intelligent discussion for the Negro in this almost unexposed field of Thespian endeavor. The announcement of the Renaissance puts the idea strongly when it says:
In placing The Common Enemy before the public Mr. Guy has attempted what his personal ambition might be. This adaptation, when presented, will be made possible by our race. If accepted, it will pave the way for plays of the same style, portrayed by the greatest actors of the world, to present their talent, interpret the emotions and higher aspirations of those whom we are prone to see in caricature. The play was accepted by a sympathetic and appreciative audience, the audience that the crucial support in his efforts to raise the standard of dramatic effort among a people heretofore pictured too often low comedy and dangerous buffering.
Truly, an "All-Star" Cast

Still Considering Judge Terrell.
As this report closes, the Senate is still considering the confirmation of Judge Robert H. Terrell, without having reached a definite conclusion. Lack of consensus among the stakes from day to day.

The Senate is in and out of the Senate, express confidence in his ultimate victory.

A Negro Exhibit at 'Frisco Talked Of.
The possibility of a Negro exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco next year is again talked about. The Panama-Pacific Exposition, colored citizens, as a relic of the "Jim Crow" system, and the members of Congress from California did not take a separate display of products of the brain and skill of the Negro people. Nevertheless, Senator O'Gorman, of the colored constituents, has introduced a bill providing for the appropriation of $35,000 for a Negro exhibit at "Frisco" in the unapplicable plumbing to show to the public what a distinctive class of Americans are doing to enlarge the scope of the nation's architecture and industrial pursuits.

Special to the Freeman.
The TISM IIIS 22 — A childhood courtship dating back to the tender years of youthful schoolmates and those dead in the Metropolis, IL, on the banks of the Ohio river, is a portion of the beautiful romance which attaches to the life of Prof. John McInone and Mrs. Pope-Turner. A seperate fourteen years had not blighted that love of other days, and at the peripheries of formalities were forgotten and it was "I am glad to see you, Annie." The pristress formalities were forgotten and here began the renewal of childhood courtship and the consequent agreement to travel the remainder of life together. The bride-to-be is, well known throughout America. Her record is a monument of her race in the business and commercial world. She was educated in the public schools of Metropolis and later pursued a special course in
chemistry. During the year 1900 she founded the now celebrated "Pore" College and began the manufacture of furniture from the preparation of Mrs. Pope-Turner, the business world was meteoric, though substantial, and today she ranks as the woman of an Negro business woman. She was a pioneer in the buttes of a perfect woman and an ideal wife. A. E. Malene, the worthy and lucky knight who will lead the race's foremost business woman to the altar at noon, April 28, is a native of Illinois. He was educated in the public school of Normal, Bradley Polytechnic and McKendree College, and taught suc-

He is well known throughout the country because of his connections with similar concerns, which concern, found in the business and the work, were demonstrated by using his system. Mr. Majors has again to his credit several profs demonstrated at the Emancipation Hall held in Philadelphia September 12, 1913.

partly to empirical and haphazard discovery, races, even the most univilized from the beginning of time, have held the mode of headaddress as very essential to their being. When Columbus discovered America, he found the red man wearing a helmet, a mask, and a bandana on his shoulders and beads. When Henry Stanley pierced the jungles of Africa, he likewise found the natives there leading their wild and barbarous lives, bedding their heads in the mud, and wearing as heads dipped in mud, rope turbans and the like. Even in the colonial days of England, the dressing of the hair was admired equally as much as the gorgeous clothing. Hours of untriring efforts were spent in arranging ques, coiffure and other beautiful head decorations; so not only do we see the hair of the natives styling and decorating of the hair in these early centuries but today, time is being devoted to the study of the same art which permits us to have schools and colleges in broadening the fields of Hair Culture. Thousands of dollars are being spent annually for the development of this work. We are now in the process of these figures! But yet there are only a few professional schools for this training.

Today if a farmer wants to farm successfully, causing the land to produce all the profit, he must be trained. For years the best scientific agricultural professors labored untriflingly with the farmer to convince him that days and months are because simply because he lacked agricultural training; therefore the same training it required in Hair Culture and today we are working incessantly to convince our women that it is a very dangerous method of hair care, which the hair, as the hair is a small fibrous tube, containing many small, delicate cells, which when destroyed, upon the latest scientific and hygienic methods for treating the scalp. This course is taught in a magnifier over the country as well as in our college. In cases where the examination of the hair is required we have found it necessary to place in a magnifier of a very high magnification.
The Operating Department of Oxford College is undoubtedly the best equipped department ever placed in a college of engineering. The Oxford electrical apparatus, such as the combination sterilizer which is the very newest style, for combs, brushes, and other instruments, is parted used in this work; the violet ray machine is also used, being especially designed for this department; the warranty of mention for their comfort.

The Falls City Medical Association
ot Louisville, Ky., an organization of
the colored doctors of that city, have
agreed to patronize the drug stores
controlled by colored men. They urge
this since they depend on colored
patronage for livelihood. In a recent
meeting of the association it was
brought out that the colored pharma.
cists were accurate and careful in
compounding prescriptions. This was
quite a commendation for the colored
druggists who have not had things
their way all the time as it concerns
confidence in their ability. The move-
ment breathes a spirit of reciprocity,
the thing the race needs badly enough.
SEGREGATION ORDINANCE HELD
INVALID.
In speaking of the efforts of the col-
ored people to maintain themselves in
their citizenship and to enlarge it, we
gaid, a short while since, that in’ the
disputes and squabbles of men right
gousness will edge to the fore. Little
by little in their mad contending the
truth is admitted, when every man
gets his just desert.
Indeed, we are in the midst of just
such a time when, now and then, men
are declaring for the right regardless
of all else.
‘A few days ago the Supreme Court
of North Carolina held to be invalid
the segregation ordinance of the city
of Winston-Salem. The News and
Observer, a publication of that city
had as follows:
“Phe decision of the Supreme Court
was unanimous, holding that towns
Gnd cities are creatures of the legisla:
fire having oniy such powers as are
conferred upon them by thelr charters
and the general provisions of the law
Yn this case, 1t was not contended thai
there was ahy express provision in the
charter or any brovisfon tn the. lam
authorizing “the town of | Winston:
Salem to segregate the races in thi
manner, It was contended that th
town had the right to adopt this or.
Ginance under | the general welfar
Slause in "ihe charter. and onder the
sneral police power owns an
fities. The Supreme Court states tha
the authority to adopt such ‘ordinance:
Segregating the races is not conferrec
upen a board of aldermen by the gen-
eral welfare clause in its charter 01
general police power of a town anc
fhat the ordinance a vold. Whether
an act of the legislature authorizing
fowns and cities to segregate the race:
Would be constitutional is not passec
on by. the court In this case.”
It is plain to see that the matte
may not end there, but it Is equal;
plain to see that civil righteousness i
making an effort to have sway. Chie
Justice Clark, who writes the opinion
states:
“The brief for the state frankl
‘says, it is not claimed that the city 0
‘Winston had any express grant of
power to pass a segregation ordinance
To uphold the validity of such an or
dinance, therefore it must be shown
that the passage of it was a reasonable
exercise of the police power.”
‘The justice could have as well held
that Winston-Salem was within its
rights in passing the segregation ordi
hance as to have held the contrar;
opinion. ‘The contrary opinion woulk
more than likely have been in accord
with the sentiment of the dominant
people of that community, and alsc
that section, He held that the legis
lature conferred no such powers or
cities as Winston-Salem had arro
gated to itself.
It was usurpation, pure and simple;
it, was submitted to because of the
known racial feeling.
‘AS we see it, the Justice has rule¢
rightfully in a¢cordance with the in
‘tent of the legislature which seeks tc
maintain the larger contro! over the
citizens in the name of the State. I
Winston-Salem will have special laws

will especially empower it to make

This vietory may not be thought t

ity for a comeback, And yet it is com

‘give a black eye to the ordinance. 1
it comes up again it will be by a cir
‘cuitous route, and by which time the
‘influences of such men will have
‘perhaps, 80 circulated as to antict
pate it, and thus be the means o'
throttling it.
‘The thoughtful of the race have
conceded something when contending
for greater lberty. ‘The separate
coach idea is admitted to ve convent
ent owing to the condition of the race
Socially the races are wide apart and
will remain so for many years, if not
indefinitely. In riding on the trains
the social idea naturally presents it
self, and in deference to the known
and’ avowed opposition of the white
people the Negroes surrender theh
Meht of non-diserimination, if we can
speak of it in that way. This is clear
ly in interest of all. But when it
comes to segregation, the residence of
citizens, it is another question. One
restriction would lead to another until
the Negroes would in time find them:
selves wholly beyond the keep of the
laws, when ambition would give away
to hopelessness which would be as
hurtful to the state as to the Negroes.
Our race, it will be admitted, has
not always been up on the ethies of
the up-keep of premises, but they have
been coming up for years, and for
which they should be encouraged. In
other ways they are proving better
tenants, and therefore, do not neod
special’ grouping. Councilmen and
legislators should readily see what
these drastic measures mean. They
do not merely affect the Negroes of
Winston-Salem or Norfolk, Va. Is it
expedient to strike down so much of
the country's citizenship? Will such
striking down be accepted with good
grace? We do nov think so.

good out of them. They were not disappointed. They got the laughs when they were asked if they are crudeness or newness might have been seen by expert observers. This will be the focus of the team of Owsley & Davis will be on of the crack teams of the country. Lora Golf pits over three song numbers in the final round. They are "I Am Crying for You," "Smother Me with Kisses and Kill Me with Kiss," "I Am Crying for You." The latter song she features with a pretty dance movement which is in her orientation. The dances of the countries she played.
The critic who spoke carelessly of her work last week was mistaken. He numbers are no need of the kind to number up the art. He classy, pretty and satisfactory. The Pelican Trio, Misses Hunter, Nelson and have some breezy entertaining numbers. Spencer Finley proved a highly capable monologist. His budget of stunts was $10,000. He set of jokes has ever been worked off on a Crown Garden audience. His little parodies were fitting. His work house in the best. He keeps the house in an apartment.

Lee Tung Foo, a Chinese specialty artist, in gorgeous narcarb, sang modern songs in Chinese, English and good music, and worked well, but his dialect was poor, humorously intimated that his stunt was better than working in a sandwich shop, and he failed to regard the Chappelens in "Hiring a Mald", which was entertaining. Musical Goolmans, fair, Leonard Troupe of young acrobatics, was a colored team, introduced to regard their atmosphere. The last half of last week had Leedon Troupe, a colored team, introduced to regard their atmosphere since his retirement from a big white company in which he played a charm, and that he did not introduce himself as the famous song writer, author of "Just One Word of Consolation." He was also an artist in recognition, Others on the bill were Lew Canton's "Thirty Minutes on Broadway" with Will Stanton, a good joker, and Atkinson, with good jokes; Double Simms, a good comic cartoonist and the Three Tyrones on bars completed Tuesday week had Ellijah and Taylor winners; Brown & Brown, White & White and Cross & Parker.

STRING BEANS GLIMMERS AT THE
NEW MONOGRAM.
Morton and Wilson Captivate
Butler May, known as String Beans, alone by himself, dressed legitimate with a good piano comedy stunt, was the star attraction at this house. In his monologue he told a story of a girl who, when he blows his horn and how the boys on the roof blew horns. His talk, this time, was neither suggested nor been legitimate had he not ejaculated that the minister swore, by swearing. When he has omitted a preacher's name, he will be one of his songs, he will become legitimate. Others on the bill were Morton & Wilson, who fairly captivated the audience with a minute act and Bessie Walker, also who has improved, but needed a new closing song. The tango last Tuesdays, the color winners of last Friday week were Jones & Carson, first show winners, Brown & Brown, second show winners again appearing one half of the week at each house.

Joe Simms Talks of War.
J. Francis Mores, the popular baritone, who has not been with us for years, and the young man, an amateur, but was not recognized in character until he appeared in street clothes. He was in good voice and his partner, Miss Nettie Edwards, a good singer, was in good voice. Why I'm Crying for You." Joe Simms wearing a diamond cross, sang and talked of war in modern fun goroleo, improved, and Miss Jackson looked charming. Mae's trained dogs was the best novelty attraction the seen at the annual Macy's parade and the young man who both appeared on the trapese, showed that the boy is an excellent athlete. This show will finish the week at the other house.

The announcement that a white syndicate at Norfolk, Va., is to build a colored theater, with the support of both white and colored companies, is a very good thing if they will live up to the objective of the colored companies. In discussing the colored managerial problem it must be remembered that color is not educated in the show business and actors who have the ability to manage are very few and, it would not be possible to have them educated in that line unless they were sure of having a capable man, as manager. The project of a colored theater in Virginia, therefore have to come by graduation. Bob Motts went from a saloon to a colored theater, locally, therefore have to come by graduation. Bob Motts went from a saloon to a colored theater, locally, therefore have to come by graduation. When the days of criticism and competition came to his door, his eyes were opened and lived, he would have competed with the best managers on State street. And that is the south. The dingy little wine room vaudeville music hall, that exists supported by the exhibition of low motion videos in singing, talking and dancing, is the greatest hindrance to the moral progress of the colored people of that region and that should be speedily remedied.

ST. LOUIS THEATER NOTES.
The best show, the largest crowds, the most satisfied patrons is the rehearsal of the show. Theater this week. It has been several months since a bill has created such comment. Every event big, every big, every big, takes an encore by bination that one can not hope for often, and wise St. Louisians are taking advantage. Bination open with their rythmic
acrobatic Hesitation and Tango dances

of unrestrained energy, restrain
the strain of applause that fills the
house with round after round of
cheers.
Peat and Hayes, in a riot of comedy
and sandwiched by real live and
clean jokes, promise that
eccentric dancing, and garnished with
elegant costuming, all but break up
the good judgment prevails in the
audience, for Miss Hattle Garland,
whose wire work, good singing,
and peculiar magnetism has got em going
here for sure. They don't even want
to change costumes between songs.
Frank Montgomery and Florence
Hunt in a screamingly funny
one-act musical from its humor, is so elegant in stage
effect and so artistically aristocratic
from its humor, seems to offer simultaneous
applause. The large stage here
herses ample opportunity for these art-
tistic works, and the result is an

artistic combination that meets our ideal

GOSSIP OF THE STAGE
WHEN OLD AGE COMES ON A-CREEPING.
(Facetiously dedicated to my friends, my work and us. The Owls. When old age doth come a-creeping Like a thief, while we are sleeping. Little dreaming that this Nemesis of dried and converted into tears of daughter, as all his partner. Mr. Good, that droll companion. Well, the are "too something." I haven't the word in my vocabulary. A little boy is gored, that jig that man. Mr. Good is good, he's hot he's—" well, I can write what the little boy said in his finishing touches, but you can guess
Till our joints begin to crack,
And our backs with pains are racking.
And we find ourselves a-limping with
our feet as we walk.
Just a glance into the mirror,
And we note the thinning hair is slow-
ly, surely turning gray.
Then we owe our rest for walking,
But we note the thinning hair is slow-
ly, surely turning gray.
Till our asinine maunderings warn all
others from our way.
Just a sprint to catch a trolley
Leaves us out of breath, by golly!
And the passengers are sure we'll have
to wait for us.
Then we try to make cute faces
At the girl in flugs and laces,
Till she condescends to mark us for an
antiquated 30Ks.
They begin in bedroom, crustaceous,
And our memories fallacious;
Conversation finds us always in a rem-
incent vein.
Trifles have new vexation;
No more for us kids vivacious;
And our hearing makes us ask for
question over once again.
Still old ages come on a-creeping;
Months and years commence to leaping,
And we pine for the companionship of
just one boyhood friend.
No time then for vain regretting.
Let our lives be bright at setting;
Hooray, that we must have us that
we were peril in the end.

Mr. L. Dan Bradfords closed at the Dixie on the 11th to take charge at Al Bartlett's colored photo play company.
Mr. Chas P. Balley, owner of Dixie and SI, is now the Diamond Kings. They call him "Big Chef"
Grace and Billy Arntes are with the Bartlieve Company.
Mr. Bernette, manager Globe Theater, is a very nice fellow. There is now a real big colored play house in Atlanta, the Auditorium colored man owns it. It cost $5,000. Mr. Bernette, UD, Dud will book it, so Mr. Black says.
Say, why do you actors lay off? They are an actor, and they are down here and fair is better than rain. The colored performer never came in contact with the afays. Plenty fun. METROPOLITAN THEATER, MEMORIAL "NNN1" SIIH
Notwithstanding the downpour of rain, immense crowds thronged the theater, eager to see him last week. Too much cannot be said of this clever pair of legitimate performers, who always stand tall and serve as the teetering moor. Mr. Berry as a female impersonator, is the best that has played this house, always scoring vulgarity and legitimate goods that would not offend any lady, gentleman or child that has been in the theater. That natural comedian, Mr. Washington screams the house with his appearance and causes a riot when he begins his act. This team will always be wel-

(By Uncle Joe Golphin.)
The weather is fine, the show is running smoothly, crowded nightly, the ghost is running to us every Sunday, and the band is playing. Our overture first part has been strengthened with that singing and dancing wonder, Jim (Monkey) Davis. His voice is so powerful that will join us sometime this week. Only two more weeks in the Lone Star State until there into Oklahoma. The Wall Street band will perform theirs with ease. Dennis and Payton, Hattie and John, in their sketch, is a riot from start to finish. The band will hit "Million Dollar Doll," while Mr. Dennis will send home in his peculiar way the favorite song Bob Lemon the tangle foot wonder, makes them rise

MACON LETTER.
Douglass Theater, Macon, Ga., Week of March 29th.
The bill at this theater opened strong beginning with Mabel Baldavport in her inimitable gyrations, songs and eccentric dancing, reminding one of her early role as the uncle Tom's Cabin fame, and in her parody on "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" she was a scream. Following Mace McPheeters as a travesty, "The Actor and the Scrub Woman." McPheeters scoring heavily in "How to Love" his voice being a high baritone. His partner, Miss Lee, created quite a flambourg amongst her peers, and in particular as she "evoluted" from a plain everyday scrub woman (in full view of audience) to that of an up to date fashionable "stage lady."

expiration of which time he returns to Macon. Mr. William Smith, the young manager, is in charge and things are running along smoothly without a hitch. Irena Douglass, a vaudeville pianist, played Ocumgille Park last season for Cha. Collier, manager of the park, died of tuberculosis and a complication of alzheimer's last week, and buried Wednesday. At the closing of the park here, went into vaudeville with Walter Smith, where she was taken ill. Her mother came for her and took her to Tampa, where it was thought she would imitate the death came. She is mourned by many friends in and out of the profession.

THE MAKING OF A BASEBALL CLUB.
Methodical Work—Men Obey Like Children in School—Manager Taylor and His Well Known Squad.
(By Billy Lewis.)
Perhaps all of the lesser clubs do not go through the same kind of vigorous training that they through before the opening of the season. In fact, not many if any team, did more careful, regulated work than that done by C. I. Taylor, who are still very daily. Of course, as the season advances the necessity for work will not be; but at this time Taylor's program is nearly as active as a game between "high spirited" teams in height of the season.
I think I am safe in saying that C. I. Taylor leads in management among colored teams, in personal training, preparing his men for the strife. He works as hard as his men, going through their three hours' calisthenics and other stunts just as hard as his hardest to bear of his men. He must be hard to base in the practice as he would in the biggest game possible for his men. His object is to beat the ball, although it sampled practice, and also to set an serious and earnest approach to a persisting battle in a school. This slightest wish is law. That is, his men see him in law. That is, his the men see the ball of base ball were to be mobilized by the statues of men who are most in earnest, who worked hard and accustomed to that of C. I. Taylor's be among those chosen.
would manager Taylor builds up his men as individual ball players, many of his team, also knows players without half trying to know the player if he promises development. In fact, he is almost a scientist in his own business with what promises results. He likes to develop men as Burbank would develop trees—
Taylor appears to disdain to smile. It is not in his nature to do very much along with his men, to warm, rather coaxing voices, and as pleasing an expression as it is possible to put on his clothes, looking as if he seems to inspire as he fills among his men, doing whatever they are doing. His personality is such, giving him wants to be least effort, and it impresses one as silently strenuous. No one thinks of shirking. Very few times does he utter a bitter utterance and when he does he gets his promptest obedience. He seems perfectly willing to debate with his men on the subject of practice and its incidents. He maintains a splendid hold, influence over his men, due to his large acquaintance with his men's modestness, his own playing ability and which averages up well with his men, and his care for his men. He possesses a cool-restrains them in the interest of the general good.
The Practice in Progress.
The medicine ball comes first in the practice. It weighs 12 pounds. The men are in a ring; the ball is shoved down the wall and they move. This is followed by calesthenics such as are meant to make supple the anatomy, and the ball is formed from two horizontal rows a short distance apart. They are not as school children used to do with the bean bag. However they have more than 100 calories which I observed there were men making for a fine opportunity to add interest and pleasure to what
The men were next lined up as batters, a fairly equal number did duty in the field, mostly the attacker, the struck at the balls, thrown by the pitcher, earnestly and as violently as if they were in the field, mostly the attacker, after getting in a fair ball hit. It was up to him to get in this hit as quick as possible, since it was the test; and the time. The pitcher seemed seemingly omnipotent, yet gentle and kind through it all. The pitchers, perhaps, do not need to be gentle and kind through the business changes throughout this practice. Men pass to the field others come to take a ball, and running to the end of that phase of the practice is closed every man has had a turn at batting, and running to the end of that phase of the practice and none was more interesting. The object here is to hit a fair ball then tear out for a catch, and running to the end of that catch the pitcher first, second and third basemen, and of course the short stop. The main object, however, is to catch the ball, and running in. In making this run one of the batters looked to see where the ball was, and the manager forbids this, saying that two steps are lost when the runner looks about him. He insists on on a fast pitch, and one regardless of the position of the ball.
Bunting and running is another in-
venting phase of the practice. It is wav-
ing in the air, pulled off in advance of one or more
of the men who have made their bases.
It is wavings in the air, a very good thing, be-
cause it was soon made clear that
only certain kinds of balls are fit to
play. Taylor has given this matter his close, personal
sition, proving what he insists
was similar, the difference being that
the men bunted several times, and did not
run to first base.
Taylor becomes an exciting and
interesting teacher. He presides at the bat and
plays ball with the team just as he whilesen. He is as uppern-
ing as a jungler doing a vaudeville turn,
and ball is grabbled up after Taylor places
when it is fired at first sacker.
It is systematically the same that
play being has at that time, that the
catcher has a chance to get them to
take it like the other fellows. Taylor
is in his infield drives. This is
pushed to the trying position of the
player in his infield drives. This is
than any other player.
A General Summary.
The sixteen men that stood on the four line line were finely proportioned as to their size: they are stocky, well built, averaging 165 pounds, and Hannibal stand about 170 feet. The others range on down to about 145. Hannibal is the well known boxer. Manager Taylor is still studying his men, and to the end that he gets satisfied with the mass of players, three college men are involved in the team. They are being tried out, and make good they will become personnel. These men are Larch of Bldgers. These men are Larch of Bldgers. These men are Larch of Bldgers. The university and Simpson of Wilkesboro. With the single to the advancement of the game, and with his ability to a baseball general Taylor promises a club, if not the very best aggregation in America. He is with University at West Baden. He was limited to the tow that small community. There were some conditions naturally suited to a club. The bade were limited, reducing in Indiana to the cohesion of a growing club.

Did Not Get Enough
Enough
The A. B. C's again beat the T. T's last Sunday. The white boys did not turn up until the previous Sunday. The day was very cool and chilly. This may have accounted for the disappointment. Taylor's men showed up as a whole. Two new pitchers held the oak and last Sunday and with success, they were able to win. Harris of the T. T's pitched a splendid ball all through the game, but he balked. Would, perhaps, have been different. He proved all right at the bat, get the pitchers colored pitches during the game. The batting of C. I. Taylor and the calling of Joe Scotland were features.
The A. B. C.'s will play the Indianapolis Specials next Sunday.

knockout. Knocked through the ropes in the last round, he bounded to his feet again and came back to the round again, and the round remained Ritchie's by a wide margin. **Stands Heavy Punishment.**
Murphy made exactly the sort of fight that Ritchie liked. The champion waited for the challenger to come in with straight lefts and repeated with straight lefts to the face and heavy left and right rips to the body. Repeatedly Murphy took the challenge and made him gasp, but after an instant's hesitation he was always able to crowd back with a brisk rally. Rows of Murphy were raised by the champion was crowding Murphy about the ring, measuring him with his left for heavy right crosses that would knock him out. Both men were in perfect condition.
Murphy scarcely landed a clean staircase in the room, but showed to advantage it was with a shower of short-arm upper cuts and body blows. The greater part of the room was covered with a few of the hooks he ducked and those that landed at no time troubled him. Murphy was any rally, to land three or four damaging smashes to the body, and in recent weeks he crossed a road which sour Murphy staggering on his heels into a neutral head and long experience stood him in good stead. He rushed into a room where he brushed himself self until he had his wits about him again. Murphy in the last round was a badly punished man. The champion brushed his wits and brushed he received in the clinches, but left the ring otherwise unmarked. The Ritchie showed improved execution and better generalism than in the usual naughty fights, and added punishing power.

GAMES
NEW YORK—Woodrow Wilson has accepted an invitation to be honorary chair of the Olympic committee for the Olympic games Berlin in 1916.

SAM. LANGFORD PUTS IT ON KID COTTON.
Sam Langford, the Boston tar baby, easily defeated Dotton, of New Orleans, who had played after eight rounds of terrific fighting. Cotton gave a game exhibition, but he was not hung up on Langford's shoulder. The Boston slugger resorted almost entirely to distance and uppercutting in the clinches. He used his right at scattering effect. Cotton caught Langford with a left going out of a clinch in the floor. Cotton hit Langford frequently, but the blows made no impression.

Sporting Editor Freeman—
Dear Sir, I was reading in your
book that you were telling me that
saying it is hard for him to get any
one in his class to box him and would
like to say I will meet him before any
one in my class. I think it is a
reasonable inducement. This does
not apply to Fields alone, but any one

SMITH MAY MEET LANGFORD.
Gunboat Is Getting Tired of Stage Work and Wants to
FIGHT.
SAN FRANCISCO-Gunbott Smith is facing the challenge. He opened at Pantages and though he was warmly, he protested against the footlight game so much that Manager Jim Buckley had to give the circuit people a chance to play. He apparently from the show business after he completed his contract in Oakland next week.
Buckley has already accepted a $6,000 guarantee for Smith to meet Battling Levinsky in a ten-round bout in New York in May. He has also agreed to have the gunner perform in this city and the chances are that Promoter Jim Coffroff will select an opponent for the bout. Coffroff has suggested Sam Langford as Gunbott's opponent and though Smith succeeded in winning a twelve-round bout in Boston, Buckley realizes that Langford is one of the best heavyweights in the world. Buckley is confident that if Coffroff is anxious to make the match for May, it is probable there
will be a battle between Langford and Smith here next month.
Larney Lichtenstein is out with a defi on behal of lumpy Clabby to have received the decision over Murray last year. The claims Clabby should have received the decision over Murray last year have Clabby meet Murray in a return match provided he could receive suitable terms and the chances are that Promoter Coffroth will clinch the match
"YOU COULDN'T MAKE ME TAKE
A DRINK."-JOHN L.
Old-Time Battler Is Out After the Fortune That He Lost Through the "Stuff"—Disgusted With Present-Day Boxers.
NEW YORK—How a man who made a million dollars because of hisROWNING, and how he made dissipation, then swore off all drink and is now on the way to another foray, then went to New York for ten years champion of the wieldy John paid this city a visit—the first time he saw the many changes wrought in its architecture in that short time. He also regrets to see so many of the faces he met in Broadway, to attack the throng of Broadway. John L. is now 55 years old, weighs about 300 pounds, is in excellent health, is attack of the gout, is in excellent health. John L. is well versed on all the titles he has written. Boxing, the sport which enabled him to attain upon thousands of dollars, gets little attention from him now. Of course he has been a daily paper, but he seldom attends a bout. He says he refereed a battle against the name of McPARTY at San Francisco some two years ago—and this is the laudable "I always like to see a good scrap, but most of the fighters nowadays are jokes, so what's the use of watching them?" He gives for not going often to matches.
Hopes Federals Make Good.
Politics and baseball are two things dear to the heart of the best known sportsman, and very much interested in Boston's political affairs, while he is in hopes that the Federal League makes good progress. "Let by" is the manner in which he expresses his sentiments. He is reported at various times since John L. got aboard the waterwagon he has accumulated close to a boat. "Nothing could be further from the truth," said the old veteran. "I own a nice home and a farm of seventy acres in Abington, Mass., and if I've got $10,000 in the bank I've got a lot of money. "Do you think I would try vaudeville or the theater in of dough?" said John L. "I guess not." Not only is John L. a farmer and a monologist on the side, but he is the proprietor of the theater in Brockton, Mass. "My little theater seats 700 people," said the Boston old-time gladiator, John L. "I think I'll have to increase the seating capacity to 1,700 before long. The moving pictures have come to stay. I think I'll have to increase the attainment, and serve to instruct people in a way that makes it easy to learn."
Not only is Sullivan married, but he is upgiving up two little lads. One of them is named John, who says that both of them are as smart as can be. He can bet when they grow up there'll be nothing doing in the boxing line for them. One in a family is enough to follow that game—too many to handle. "The only regret that I have," says Sullivan, "is that I wasn't born thirty-five years later. Where I won one fight, where I was fighting in the old days, nowadays I could roll up five times that sum. For a long time, in fact for two years, I was the lookout for a white hope. I was looking for a fellow with the same qualities that I possessed when I was married. I allowed that would wade in from the first round and a man that could punch and take one in return. After that I allowed that would bad job. I realized that if I could have found a man to whip Johnson I would make more money—and easier money. I have got in the ring. But we want to." Then you don't think that the fighters today are anywhere near as good as they were when they were young. "Not only are the modern fighters not as good as they used to be, but none of the men in any walk of life
Fighters Paid Too Much.
It's nine years the fifth of next month since John L, took a drink.
"I guess it's all destiny with a man," he declares. "A young fellow is plum nutty to touch the stuff, but it's hard to impress upon a man. I never have to think I might still be champion, judging by the line of false alarms that succeeded me to the title, if I had left the stuff alone. I don't make me take another drink for all the money in the world." I'm cured.
Let next fall find you attending college at the expense of The Freeman. See page 4.

Around the hall there were two ladies which were in charge of the following ladies: Household supplies, Mrs. D Welch; art and needlework, Mrs. J. Weld; candy and dolls, Adelae Simms and Addle Jones; ready made clothing, Susan Jones. The Y. M. C. A. band; candy and dolls, Adelae Simms and Wednesday nights and Wednesday night the local K. P. U.

Mrs. Brown, the promoter, is a teacher in the local public schools. She teaches public institutions, but this affair was the largest and probably her most successful one. It has been said that few would attempt such undertakings because she goes into such movements with heart and soul and knows not what it means to fall. She is indeed a beautiful teacher, has many friends and is known to her as a dramatic reader. Dr. H. L. Hummons, president of the hospital, presented to Mrs. Brown in behalf of her brother, broidered centerpieces, made by Mrs.
O. S. McGhee, as a token of their appreciation for her beautiful work.
