I must continue to please my audience as well as the movies who are making inroads on all legitimate houses. The movies in springing up like mushrooms in every block and they give a change of pictures every night. In order to make changes in my program and give something new, I had to relieve one of my musicians and part of that can go toward getting other novelties. For instance, I give a new show every Monday and Thursday nights; Tuesday night, the Tango contest, on Thursday night, the Tango and dance nights, the Night Tango, and Saturday night publishers' contest, with a change of picture show on Monday night, he is satisfied and does not return until the following week. A new show with new specialties and novelties he is back again twice or three times a week, said Mr. Miller Klein, the manager of the New Monogram Theater, was much impressed. With the Tango contests, buck and wing dances and novelties, he still has four big acts at each house and all new ones that can make good.

Talks On Banks and Banking. TUSKEGEE, INSTITUTE, May 11.—Honorable J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., former Register of the United States, will be visiting the One Cent Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn., delivered the closing exercises of business lectures to the state legislature, Mr. Napier was kept quite busy while here. He spoke to the entire student body in the evening taking the chapel sessions, as it were, on a trip to Washington and through the various divisions of the great treasury department, in order to them the life of a dollar bill. On Wednesday evening he spoke to the young men and young women of Nashville in the departmental subject of "Banks and Banking." Many valuable suggestions were put before the students by Mr. Napier. It was a pleasure to hear their suggestions, as well as the many other ones which have been put before the students of Tuskegee Institute by successive years, will bear fruit in the lives of the young people who have listened to them. A particular reference to his subject, Mr. Napier said: "I think that you may want to organize a bank of your own as a Savings Bank something like ten years ago in Nashville; you will look about to see what steps are necessary to establish a bank in Nashville, other people handling your money that must be making money; looking around you in your city you will see a result of this, banking business. you will see that the power to lend money to different individuals and corporations, etc., will probably be an inducement for you to go into the banking business. You will see behind the counters of the banks young men and women in good and desirable positions, and the number of bankers, which counters a black face, unless it is in an organization of our own. That is a question we ask ourselves. Why can't we have a bank of our own? Why can't we organize and establish a bank? Then, my friends, you will go to the business men and ask them how much stock they will take in a bank. “With the One Cent Savings Bank we agreed to organize with a capital stock of $25,000, divided up into five thousand shares at $5 each. We were not very long in disposing of $5,000 worth of this stock and when they were not in the bank, we were justified in organizing a bank. Therefore, the eighteen men who subscribed to the $5,000 met and applied for a charter, which was received and these eighteen men became the first directors of the One Cent Savings Bank in the city of Nashville. After the charter was secured and our office was opened, we were able to build and open our three-day office and the building and opened our doors. The first day that we did business our deposits amounted to more than $7,000, which gave us a working capital of $12,000. I have found that whenever we undertake to do a good thing, something that will elevate our race, we will find that we will have friends among the classes of the people of this country. “In the first place we tried to keep our expenses down as low as possible. We saw that the income from the loans was sufficient to meet all expenses and there was no need to pay since the organization of that bank that the income from the investments has not been sufficient to meet all expenses. We have been operating something like an annual 100,000,000 dollar stock of our capital stock; it is in the hands of as good people as we believe there are in the city of Nashville, and the One Cent Savings Bank is regarded as good for the business of the people as well as in the city of Nashville. We have been quoted by the best bankers of that city as being conservative, cautious and careful of the funds of our depositors. We have taken many measures to reduce the risk of taken money to the deposit, which we called for it, and we have never made a promise which we have not kept. “The first year of the existence of the One Cent Savings Bank was $250,000; they have gradually grown until this year, when our clearings have already exceeded the $1,000,000 mark. If at ten years ago, anyone had said that the Negroes in the city of Nashville could hold a bank as $1,000,000 through a bank in a year, they would have been thought to have very poor judgment. But that is what we are doing. This has done a great deal of the same importance to the commoner of the people in our community; such a thing arouses the attention of the people to our work and directs their efforts towards giving us some of their money to cultivating them and to growth in them. It is us and making them feel that they are more to us than ever before.” "Aside from our regular banking work we have acquired several pieces of village, one of which the Brown building, situated in the heard, is rented to us, and which is rented so well that we find it advantageous not to move our bank location in the heard, in a location where we first began the banking business." Mr. Napier, while at Tuskegee, was the principal and Mrs. Washington, and received many courtesies at the hands of officers, teachers and anybody communities, spoke at several rural meetings, and in addition visited the academic department. He spoke to the young people of the classes in history and economics, of his rich experience in Mr. Napier's talks brought to a most successful close the unique series of lectures which have have here dured to you to Tuskegee Instituet students by students successful colored men, and was a fitting climax.

The graduates have our best wishes for success in life and we feel like saying for them: Love, be true to them, In one of the leading race journals of our city the question is asked, "Has the question been like answering, yes the Negro or colored people, for that is the more logical term, has friends among the other people, than has yet awakened to us, if the colored people have friends why is it that this uninterrupted uprising has yet as yet awakened to the gravity of the crisis and do not see the issue of the day as forcibly or persecuted against. They have not in a large measure, seen what is to come white man toward the colored man of America. The only solution to the problem then is the education of the city lines, a stronger pressure brought to bear upon those who have not as yet seen the story as told in the Crisis and other leading race journals must be laid before our friends and then in time we may hope for a reformation.

This meeting will be held every morning at the C. H. Parrish, which is a new agreement in church work in our city as it will mean practically a oneness of the churches on all civic questions. Such a union we have not had lastly. Mayor Buschmeyer has signed the segregation of orifice of the white and black checkerboard. The passing and signing of this ordinance is but a sure forecast of the quality of men that make up the great joy of life. The great joy of life is to be regretted that they are so ignorant and selfish that they have desired to impede a race that is struggling against odds to make a "good" life. The "good" life is words that "this nation cannot long endure half slave and half free" we fear have been misinterpreted by these honorable men. The "good" life never did mean merely free in body but free in an opportunity to improve and advance. It is expected that the matter will be taken to the courts of the court of the state, and the law will be given to the people. We can but patiently wait until this narrow-minded and little-sourced politicians have served their own interests. We have not yet been able to see politics in the pure light of right and reason. While this is a bitter blow to our aspirations, we trust that the place that voted on the question of the race, since that vote, or white men who never had the interest of our race at heart. The cry of the party that is now in control has always been that the question of the race, of us remember the issue of "rigger" domination on which The Freenn As an advertising dium is unequaled any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spending Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal.

Now that the chain of evidence presented by Webb appears so complete, it is strange that none of the delvers in the Biblical world are made to believe that only was Christ, a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all of the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also."

CHRISTY MATHEWSON'S GREAT AMBITION PITCH 50 VICIORITES NEW YORK—Christy Mathewson is entering into his fourteenth season in the major leagues. His earlier ambitions have been realized. He has reached greater heights of popularity than any other player in the league. He has tasted the joys of success and prosperity. He has been idolized. He has received financial funds for his new team and records. He has been given more opportunities than most of our illustrious statesmen. The wildest dreams of his youth had him ambition—an ambition developed only in the late years—still stands to make him his utmost speed. He wished for his humptiest speed. He wished for his Cy Young to have the distinction of having won five hundred games before he was drafted into the reer. But let him tell it. Speaking about the matter, he declared: "On starting on my fourteenth season in the Giants, as much surprised about it as the average baserader, I followed." His first came to the Giants in July, 1900, I had little notion that I would still be working for the Giants in the playoffs. He counted 1900 as a season in the league because I worked in only three games that year and lost them. I could anyways "In those days I was depending largely on a big roundhouse curve HONEY DID I FORGET ANY THING? which is not exceptionally effective in the big league—in fact, not effective at all. My ambition is to equal the record of Cy Young before I pitch my last battle, and I still have a long distance to travel before I come anywhere near Cy Young. I have a marvel pitcher of baseball, both on account of his brilliance and durability, a wonderful combination. I have victories in the big league at this writing is 328, while Cy was credited with 508 when he re-claimed. He realized his ambition, which was to pass the mark of five hundred victories, to win by a pitcher in the big leagues. To reach the five hundred mark, if I win games a season or an average, it would take me nearly nine years, and that's a long time when a man has been in the league for the period I have. I guess Cy's record is safe, as far as I am concerned." NEWS ITEMS OF TUSKEGEE, ALA Hon. J. C. Napler Visits Tuskegee Insti. tute. Last week Honorable J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn. former register of the United States treasury, visited Tuskegee Institute for the purpose of serving the members of business lectures to the student body. Tuesday evening in the Institute Chapel, Mr. Napier spoke to the students, teachers and Greenwood families on the subject of the "The Life of a Dollar Black." In this lecture, Na, a pior told how, in the Crane Mills of Dalton, Mass., the paper used in making dollar bills is manufactured from limited rags. He told in detail how the money he printed on the governs the office. He then told of the years which the money receives and how these, bills are sent out through the banks and sub-treasuries to all parts of the country. Finally he described the return of the bills to the government office where they are reduced to a pulpy mass. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Napier spoke to the Senior class students who are studying Economics and History. Wednesday night, he spoke to the members of the Senior, A Middle and B Middle classes on "Banks and Banking." This was a very interesting and helpful lecture. During his study, Tuskegee, Mr. Napier was entertained at the residence of Principal, Booker T. Washington. Temperance Society Confist a Success. Thursday evening, April 30, the Temperance Society of the Tuskegee Woman's Club, held its annual oratorical contest in the Tuskegee Institute for Interpretation. This contest was a success. The recitations, all of which were of a helpful nature, were well spoken. The winner of the gold medal, spoke on the subject, "Purity and Diligence." Though the Temperance Society is unaware of the Tuskegee Woman's Club, all of its members and officers are girls who are students of Tuskegee Institute. Tuskegee Ball Tennis Makes Final Road Trip.

The General Conference of the great C. M. E. church has the floor. Bishop Walters is getting results. This is the final test of leadership. Missionary Bishop Jay Albert Johnson has six more years to serve in the African field. Judge Terrrell has been confirmed. In this line is embodied a volume of race history. Watch the outcome! Some writers send their effusions by "tireless." The Washington Bee's Sagittarius, the Potomac, sends his by "thoughtless." A chronic "knocker" is the first fellow in the world to threaten criminal libel proceedings when the gun is turned toward him. Beaumont, Texas, is preparing a royal reception for the National Bap-ter School State Convention, which meet there today. Let there be no surrender of Negro leadership. White men can help, but the initiative and general direction of the fight must remain with us. "Chief" Higgins, of Cincinnati, is a leader of the colored republican hosts the Buckeye State. He is strong because he is loved, and loved because he is good." After all, "black-handers" are probably as good as the hypocrites and cowards that employ them to do the dirty work they haven't the courage to perform. If there must be segregation in some African country, it is a Negro business to capitalize it. The National Negro Business League points the way. The backbone of Vardamanism has been broken in the United States Senate. Gentlemen stood together and beat the good work go on! It is well to allow a villain to go ahead and do his worst. When he has gone the limit and you are still on top, there is bound to be a calm. The villain will have shot his bolt. Miss Nannle H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training School for Girls of the University, is efficient of the "Three B's"-Bible, Bath and Broom." Can you beat it? The voting strength of the Negroes of Missouri is 59,921, a gain of 6,503 in ten years. Can not the race derive some encouragement from the same showing in the "Show-Me State"? Small appointment must not be "sneezed at." There is a big difference between a small salary and nothing, especially when a market-basket must be filled for wifey and the kids. The Terrell campaign for confirmation was another example of a worthy Negro. He was a white democrats for protection from the assassins of his own race and party. "The pity of it!" A certain bishop should quit "talking through his hat." There is nothing in holy writ that justifies scorn nor an attempt to belittle the labors of a co-worker for the human uplift. It looks as if the New York Negroes will get their long-wished-for regiment. Col. C. W. Fillmore deserves unstinted credit for his strenuous effort to bring about this triumphant result. --- And for that matter, every line sent out by our humble servant, is scanned with the utmost care by the so-called "Sage of the Potomac," not only for its wisdom, but for "challenges," if possible, a basis for "challenges" of one kind or another. --- "The Negro should register and vote," says Bishop Alexander Walters. "I believe there is a difference between the citizen and the subject." This sentiment should be blazoned from every house-top. It is the essence of wisdom. Upon his arrival at his hotel at Los Angeles, Bishop Alexander Walters found his spacious rooms literally filled with flowers, sent by prominent people and various organizations, and esteem stirs a leader to his best endeavors, and sets critics at naught. The colored citizens of Jacksonville, Fla., are "up in arms" for a Negro daily. Better support M. M. Lewey's nel, before branching out for larger ventures. The daily must be developed at the beginning and permanent growth will be assured. Nashville's campaign for $30,000 to insure a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building resulted in raising over $33,000 in cash Nashville has our heartiest congratulations. It is the colored capital of the United States. It's energy and thrift in lesson-learners to the race everywhere. The Negro is a staunch American. He will stand solidly behind President Obama, courteous to the Mexican war, the persecuted king of short, Negro as soldier and citizen can be depended upon to do his whole duty. in patriotism, there can be no party, government, or race, of one is the cause of all. That is true American doctrine. Mme. C. J. Walker has oult a fortune because she handles good goods—food, clothing, and leisure, lavish advertising, that she has the aforesaid "good goods." Mme. Walk-away has oult a fortune to every colored man or woman who tries to push along a business enterprise. It pays to advertise—and live up to the promises made. The enemy is always "on the job." Teachers, teachers, lodges, clubs and organizations of every kind should make a "Railroad Days" an occasion upon which the united voice of the race will speak against the "jim-crow" and be forced upon us to our disadvantage. To hesitate is to lose a golden opportunity. A course in dermatology might save some folks a lot of trouble. A Baltimore white woman is suing a wealthy colored man for "constructive breach of promise," he thought, "was a white man when he woed and won her. Now, because of her error of judgment, she feels herself aggrieved to the extent of $15,000 and asks the court to set aside for her that much of the wooers' join the realm. That virile journalist, T. Thomas Fortune, discussing Villa and his unrelenting attitude toward his foes, gets the knowledge of the so-called "The Nessus race," saying "The greatest weakness the American Negro has, and has ever had, is the easy disposition to forget a favor and forgive a wrong, when the white man has been the guilty party, and follow one of his own people to the death who offends him." The Negro journalists of Texas, ever progressive, have a live state press association. President of the United States of New York, Kline, of the Galveston City Times, have issued a call for the annual convention of the Texas Negro Press Association to meet June 13 at Beaumont, Texas. There are about twenty-five race members, which are the "Star State," which holds the record for numerical strength of the Negro press. The Freedmen's Aid Society has taken a sensible course in so changing the names of its schools that "universities" that are term implies, and that "colleges" must be "colleges," or be reduced to the term "college." This is as it should be. Let us "get down to brass tacks" in all things, and let it be understood that there is something in a name, after all. It is noticeable that the Chicago Defender has never corrected the report of Col. Roscoe Coulking Simmons. Col. Simmons, in a scathing editorial, denounced the Defender and denied him the authority to impose clauses to believe Col. Simmons, when he intimates, as did the late Mark A. McCormick, that the report of my death is greatly exaggerated." Editor Abbott has the floor. Far-searing and experienced men of affairs like Bishop Alexander Walters, of the University of Chicago, hert H. Terrell, Harry C. Smith, W. L. Houston and B. J. Davis are not to be taken in and placed upon such "soft" material, he writes, "a series of slobber article under the caption of "Men I Have Met," which describes the wise excellent New York paper. A post-mortem eulogy does not wipe out "rent that the envious Casca made." --- The Central Regalia Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, of which Gen. Joseph Jones is president, has recently installed a new badge department, to care for the constantly increasing trade. The new equipment has so increase, the facility has become corporate that it can now, without especial effort, make delivery of badges within three days, "going some." Nothing succeeds like success, and "Joe" Jones knows how to get the business. The Saturday Event Tribute, correcting the correspondent of the Chicago Defender, says Sarah Rector, the school principal, is not a kindergarten institute. Is it a school in Muscogee County, Oklahoma, and getting along all right under her present guardianship. Editor Russell Hunt, the minister a mache-needed "roast" to unreliable news-purveyors and a timely word of caution to papers that accept information without making proper verifications. --- Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, formerly of Seattle, Wash., has moved over to Colorado Citizen, a bright little sheet, and bids fair to make that picturequeen of a Pacific Slope. Associated with the hustling "preacher-editor" are: J. Fitz Price, business manager and Mrs. Howard, society editors. The Citizen is a member of the N. M. Press Association, the Reciprocal News Service—both signs of good luck and up-to-dateness. Ira T. Bryant scores again. There seems to be no limit to his vision as secretary of the A. E. Sunday House for the department, and has already ordered four quarters he now is planning to erect a new and thoroughly modern publishing house for the department, and has already ordered the structure. If the Book of Discipline will allow it, the General Conference ought to elect Mr. Bryant for life as the head of its publishing bureau, and merge all of the printing plants --- Dr. J. W. McDonald, of Baltimore, in the Star of Zion, calls attention to the need for a new church. M. E. Zion church that Booker T. Washington organized the world-famous Tuskegee Institute; and further, he first to ordain women to preach the Gospel of the Son of God," and gave Frederick Douglass the first licenses to teach the Bible in church with philips against slavery." This is interesting history, and the three episodes fill a bright page in the annals of the nation. Internal dissensions have made it difficult for Brother M. M. Lewey to teach the Bible in the church when he moved The Florida Sentinel from Pensacola to Jacksonville, Fla. Nevertheless, he is holding the helm of the watch-tower. He will get into his stride by-and-by. The press gang is one of the old-line president of the Nielson Negro Press and they are "with him" in every undertaking. He is one of the last and best of the old-line journalists, who have themselves to be the "salt of the earth." --- Negroes, who derive a large measure of their benefits from vocational training, should be made members of the government-appointed governmental authorities to look into the advantages of the system and to recommend ways and methods to improve it. The world's greatest advocate of vocational training was and is a Negro Booker T. Washington's speeches and works, and further than any other known influence to prove to this generation that industrial education is the foundation of a better life for students at the bottom and works upward—the logical way to build anything. --- Dr. H. Franklin Bray, pastor of the New African M. E. Church at Hutchinson, cutting cuts of the church and himself, and which is stated: "I own 2,000 shares of stock in the New African M. E. Church, and I own other cards to indicate the exact number of shares held. It is inferred that creation is being paid for on the creation is being paid for on the creation plan, just as a big corporation manufacturing plant. Well, why should not the people own the temple in which they worship and carry the title of priest, not the amounts they pay? No whom does the average church belong, anyway? The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is the kind of an insurer that can not be insured by the big business building of this company was among those almost totally destroyed in the hurricane. Hum, N. C. Did the managers sit helplessly and bemoan their losses. Not a bit of it. All night long, while the managers and mortar their laborers had put together. Messrs. John Merrick, C. C. Spaulding, Dr. A. L. Hunt, and authority were on the ground, with nenclips and pads in hand and an experienced architect at their side, drawing plans for the rebuilding of a bigger and better structure. The race can not lose confidence in its recuperative power when held by the example of courage and business capacity. As a record of human achievement, the fourteenth annual report of the University of Michigan is easily the year's best book. It tells in graphic language, forcible, clear and picturesque, the story of the university, and presents in permanent form an account of scenes, incidents and facts that can not fail to help him onward and upward. This brilliant example, "History of the University of H. Davis, the hardworking and faithful official stenographer of the National Negro Business College," H. Davis, the hardworking and faithful official stenographer of the National Negro Business College, and the accurate stenographical work was done by the A. M. E. Sunday School Union at Nashville, Tenn., under the painstaking direction of Ira T. Bryant. Booker W. Washington, in The Outlook of Merch. 14, discusses black and white education in a vein that is arresting, serious attention everyway, strikingly he attributes the bulk of the inequalities southland to the inequalities in educational facilities. A colored boy has $1.50 a year spent in his schooling by the states, and the worth of instruction. Yet, says the boy, $1.50 a year boy is expected to live up to the same morality and is punished under the morality and is evidence as the white boy. The black boy is inferior and his punishment is invariably more severe than is true of the white boy. Jackson's argument is a stinging arraignment of the young Negro, south's neglect of the young Negro, our lycceides should be discussed in our lycceides section where ignorance increased expenditures for Negro education every section where ignorance prevails. Dr. U. G. Mason, a leading physician and a professor at Birmingham, Al., who has a national Birmingham al., who institute recently on "My experience in light upon a subject that is taking deep root in the minds of the progress of the south. He took the ground that if people can use the Negro's savings toantage, the Negro can use his own savings toantage, the Negro can use his own years ago, feeling that the 100,000 Negroes in and about Birmingham need aggrigate holdings amounts to $62,843.24, an average of $31.43 to business talks are doing a mint of good larging the horizon of thought for the unskewed.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The thirty-third anniversary exercises of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, will be held May 24th to 28th. The annual commencement exercises will be preached by Dr. James J. Vance, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Nashville, Tenn. The Haytian government borrowed that $62,000 in a jiffy and paid off that John Bull claims. If the Negro republic did not have cash on hand it had bountie available assets other wise. It is very lucky that it is true. John Bull bombarding and taking a Haytian port at this juncture would have made for a spectacle not in the interest of the peace of the American continent. The colored leaders of Chicago expect an appropriation of $150,000 for financing the exposition which will be held in that city next year. The exposition, which will be by colored people, will be in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of freedom and the Emancipation Proclamation. Congressman Madden, of Illinois, has introduced a bill calling for the appropriation. It is thought that he will be successful. In that event the Chicago folk will put on a show that's worth while. President Wilson in his recent speech on the Mexican situation expressed himself clearly in simple, yet forcible language. He is for Mexico, a peaceable Mexico, one that regulates its own affairs. At the same time he is for the peace of the western hemisphere. In other words he is in for civilization, the lesser name, perhaps, for humanity. He hopes that war will be avoided, but he desires that about, but in the event of war it will be simply for that peace, beautiful peace, even if issuing from war's terrible womb. Dr. Booker T. Washington asks that the railroad companies be remembered of their duty towards the Negro patrons June 6 and 7. This has reference to the sections where special coaches are set apart for Negroes. The courts from time to time have decided that the companies must furnish equal facilities for their patrons. A few roads, it is understood, have complied with the ruling. Dr. Washington thinks that a forward movement on the part of the Negroes in demanding of the companies what is due them will bring results. Many of the companies have already signified their willingness to do the prophecy. They have also taken advantage of this expressed dislocation to the end that their kindly expressions terminate in the thing desired. The thing of the last resort is the court, but before this we should try by whatsoever means in our power to get what is wanted. It will be respect to Dr. Washington and assistance to the race if we make the appeal to the railroad companies June 6 and 7, as he has suggested. The segregation ordinance which recently passed in the board of aldermen and city council of Louisville, Ky., has been signed by the mayor, thus becoming a law. It is discouraging to good colored men and women, after the many years, to think that it is felt necessary to have a law which sets apart districts for colored people and white people. That better understanding of the race, so much talked about, can never come at that rate. We think that it is infinitely unfair to take advantage of the Negroes, introducing and passing a measure that sets back their civilization, mocks their effort at progression. And yet we would not like to think that the segregation brought was wholly without reason. We would not like to think that any set of men among us is so certain of the rights of others that they, without reason, make effort to set aside their rights. We do not think that such ordinances are in accordance with the great laws, and surely not in harmony with the general constitution of the country. But at that, it is up to the race to remove the causes of such enacting such legislation if it does not wish to be the subject of special laws. TALKING ABOUT THE FREEMAN. The most indifferent of us don't mind seeing something good of us in public print now and then. This is especially true when some good follows our efforts to do something that is worth while. In the midst of our racial struggle one is inclined to rejoice at times because of the splendid opportunities to do. It may sound a trifle cruel and hard to say this, to speak of the opportunities to achieve distinction owing to civil hardships or in spite of them. Yet it is the way of the world. Abraham Lincoln and all of the rest of them came into fame through civil woes or some other form of disorder wherein the rights of men were denied. We do not think men rejoice at such opportunities; they seize them, and in consequence are accorded fame. From time to time letters come to us congratulating us for the part we are playing in trying to bring about a whole race, a whole citizenship. -as others about us are whole. Of course these letters are gratifying, for the laborer is worthy of his hire as we read in Holy Writ. It is no less so in these days. The preacher in the pulpit is buoyed up by the honest amens heard among the members; the speaker by the clapping of hands or other forms of applause. The newspapers and their editors get theirs in that "more silent" way but none the less satisfactory. The test of a work well done is the general sanction of that work. Conscience is sufficient to keep the work affloat, but if buoyed up otherwise satisfaction follows and a higher tension of ambition to do. Below follow two expressions which are gems. While they are exceedingly high in praise we take it that they are nevertheless honest, and because the fullness of expression generally cometh from the fulness of heart: Colorado Springs, Colo. April 9, 1914. Editor Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. : Dear Sir—Your very kind favor of 7th inst., received and I hasten to reply, thanking you for acknowledgment of article I sent you last week, regarding the accommodations for colored people in the South. Shall be pleased to have same appear in the valuable columns of your paper. Regarding the railroad incident out of Birmingham to which you refer, I am the lady from Colorado who was the passenger. Mr. Moore, I remember quite well, for we talked of the conditions, and this train crew affair. He left the train at Atlanta. I proceeded to Jacksonville, Fla. I have dozens of experiences which has been an education to me, that I could have in no other way acquired. The flood of knowledge one gains by a southern tour, both pro and con are, in my judgment, invaluable. I have always read, admired and praised you and your excellent mouthpiece for justice and rights for our people, that you so fearlessly advocate. And your strong editorials are doing much to remedy the existing evils of our race. Every city I visited reference would be made to something the Freeman had to say, etc. Your influence for good is farreaching. You can not conceive the good being wrought by your mighty pen. Linked with Dr. Washington you will. Make Rome how! Deem it an especial favor to have this correspondence with one of our race leaders, praying for your continued success, I am, Yours sincerely, (MRS.) JULIA EMBRY This from the pen of R. W. Thompson: "W. Milton Lewis, a clear thinker and felicitous writer, is setting a warm pace for the sentiment moulders of the race through his brilliant editorials in the Indianapolis Freeman. Mr. Lewis handles all of the vital issues of the day in a calm, conservative and logical manner, and praises or condemns men and doings without "slobbering" on the one hand or ranting on the other. Absolute levelheadedness is the ruling characteristic of his literary output, which is abundant and varied. His citations and conclusions give evidence of a wide acquaintance with history and the classics, as well as a keen eye for the things that happen day by day and a ready grasp of the motives and means that govern the current of our complex modern life. Mr. Lewis, like most geniuses, is proverbially modest, but he is growing on the country and the country is anxious to see more of the many they "read after" with so much interest and profit."

Three Thousand Fans Cheer American Giants in Third Victory of the Season—Game Won in First Inning By a Score of 2 to 1—Banton Pitches Good Game and Lloyd Hero of the Day—Chicago Giants Sunday, Walter Ball Pitching. (By Cary B. Lewis.) Special - Treeman CAGO, IL. 12—Fans who did not see the game last Sunday between the American Giants and the Chicago Cubs, the second in the season. Banton, a new find of "Rube" Foster was on the mound and hit a good game on the field. He played a major league ball, and Lloyd was the "Iron Man" of the game, playing major from the one the preceding Sunday, void of band playing but a first-class game. He was a short minute, so good that the West Ends were humbled 2 to 1, and the way our boxed players the visitors never had a chance to win. Game Won in First: The game was won in the first inning. The late comers missed this inning, but the defense singled, Hill doubled, Duncan flew out to center, Barber scoring, and Hill taking third on an inning in which the defense scored, Hill scored, Gans struck out and Monroe landed one through short but was out at first. The defense scored, Americans, while McQuire, of the West Ends scored. This inning told the defense desperate efforts were made by both teams to score but nothing done. All through the game, the defense like the is only seen by major league players. Gans gave a rattling good exhibition of fielding, and Monroe at second was there every minute and was the "idol of the game." Monroe did much to keep up interest throughout the game. Both teams played like demons and "Brown Eyes" Barber made a one-handed catch which caused the grand stand rookie to rise on masse. Three thousand fans witnessed the game and it is likely that twice as many more will be present tomorrow.

Chicago Giants tomorrow, with Walter all on the mound. Bettings is 3 to 2 on the Americans. Some, however, are wagering 5 to 2. Weather was a little chilly Sunday, and the girls with their thin silks got awfully cold toward the last of the game. Bragg, the Freeman agent, was right there with the world's greatest sporting journal and they went like wild and will be there every Sunday. Bragg evidently whispered something in the ear of Messrs. Foster and Schorling. Lloyd made a killer at second base in the second inning and a sensational catch in the sixth. Francis threw a ball from third to first that went as straight as an arrow. He is a member of the "Big Four" that were with the New York Giants last year. Gans, another member of the "Big Four", tried hard to ease home from the third in a second too late. Good run, my boy. "Brown Eyes" Barber dropped a hot liner at first but got it in time to put out his man. Some barber. Banton, the new find from Detroit, was at his best. He showed the fans a little something. No one in the world can best Foster finding good players. Fans got their money's worth Sunday. Every one was well pleased with the game. Even the knockers were loud in praise of the American Giants' playful, stupid says he is mighty strong of the Giants. Don't blame him. The American Giants are still talking about the swell banquet which was tendered them about a week ago at the team. They are responsible for the feast, assisted by Mr. Schorling, two of the best friends of the team. The Giants are beloved at home as well as abroad. "Diamond Monroe" seems to be playing "Manny" says no more late hours for him, but he still likes the ladies. He struts like a Duke when garbed in one of Adams' tallor-made suits. A purse is now being put up for the player who makes the best batting season. Lloyd and Hill seem to be leading thus far, with Barber a close third. Toney Langston, the photographer-artist, is right on the job with his team, and the league work to see him there. Toney is one of the fastest snapshot men in the business. Daugherty, Petway and Lindsey are still on the bench recuperating. The fans are anxious to see them in the game, and before many of them can see the arm has been bad, is getting better. Booker is holding down the sack nicely. Jerry Mills, B. F. Mosely, Wm. Adams, and George Holt are there every week. Another most interesting spectacle is Mrs. Andrew Foster and her young son. It's getting so that if you want to see the latest styles, the ball park water. Another most interesting spectacle is Mrs. Andrew Foster and her young son. Everyone is anxiously awaiting to see Elwood C. Knox and his A. B. Cs. to come to Chicago. It is reported here that the in-houseapolis team is in fine form and only needs to meet the American Giants. Many still maintain that the Chicago Giants, led by Frank Leland, is the better team. Thousands of American fans are willing to wager their lives that this is not so poor. Someกรรมกรรมes will be the umpires in this great popularity contest, and "Rube" says he will show them a thing or two. A "Rube Foster" day will be celebrated some time this summer at the American Giants Park. Frank A. Young, sporting editor of the Chicago Defender, and Cary B. Lewis, of the Freeman, will be the promoters. Mr. Young believes that a "Foster day" would be celebrated just as a "Chance day" is done. Young believes with plenty of publicity, 10,000 people would do honor to "Ruge," who is considered the foremost baseball promoter and manager of the day. During the months of June, July and August, Mr. Foster claims that he will have some of the best teams in the country at the American Giants park. The past three Sundays indicate that baseball this season here will be a base-up season in order to have your box seats, order before the game and avoid the rush. A limited number of pass books were issued to students who will be expected not only to be a booster but to bring some with them to admission help to "make the mare go."

We are in Tennessee and business is good. Business is key note of our show. When the people see our big street parade two blocks long, consisting of one drum corps, two brass band, one steam calipe, one big joy wagon and when the people come to our show and show out of the car up to a spectacular first part of thirty-six people with electrical effects and scenery it is a little out of the ordinary for colored minstrel shows. The one and original Silas Green, the Lone Star comedian is singing his own composition "Quit wearing a wig." Mr. Green has a spin and dance that leaves them scavenging the people now call him the human top. The persons—Jim and Carrie—with their musical comedy act, are a scream. Mr. Sam Jones, that funny, droll comedian, is keeping them laughing nightly. The sensational musical trio. Harrison, Gibbs and Barette, playing on many difficult instruments, never fails to write the heart of all music-loving people. E. Alfred Drew juggling jester and slack wire artist never fails to get his share of applause. Mr. Cas Trice, the golden voiced tenor, is rendering a beautiful ballet piece for the world" and meeting with success. Prof. J. W. Ayers and his famous concert band is rendering all the latest rags and popular overtures. Prof. D. W. Ayers is playing all the latest music. Our successful managers, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. O'Brien are very well pleased with the show and band and wear a smile. We would like to hear from good musicians and performers at all times. MUSICIAN ENTERTAINED PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Alpha Social club comprised of members of O. U. Cattley lodge of Elks, of this city, and O. U. Cattley lodge of the Smart School afternoon. May 10th in honor of Billy Butler, the popular and well-known trap drummer, formerly of the Smart School, now playing at Gibson's Standard theatre. The affair was a grand success in every way and Mr. Butler was invited to be his engagement to which he responded in a brilliant way. He has a host of friends and admirers in this city, having filled an engagement here at the Andorlutian Hotel and the Joliet Set Company, and they will no doubt be pleased to learn that he has been engaged to appear as xylophone soloist at the Philadelphia pride of Philadelphia, for aside from his being one of the best musicians of the race in his line, he is known for his gentleman and a jolly good fellow. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING (Sorrowfully dedicated to the mothers of the heroes who died in the battle Vera Cruz, Tuesday, April 21, 1914.) "Only a swimmish," the papers read, "Meant simply to call "Huerta's bluff." Yet, dad's mother's sons lay stuff and And to these women t'were war enough. Why prate now of "measures short of war" Or seek 'by evasion the truth to shun. The die is cast—have gone too far the peace dove has flown—the war peace. Where now are the millions that were spent To purchase us universal peace? Art cast in the dreadful armament, The gods of war are soon to release? Great men may stand in the Congress And orate with patriotic zeal? But the boys at front must fight and And bear the brunt of the foemar's steel. "Only a skirmish," the fighting brief; A Nation cheers for the victory won; But who can measure a mother's grief Weeping alone for her only son. Words of condolence inadequate To stem the sorrow or ease the pain; Nor mortar, nor parise, will compensate. For the son who'll ne'er come home again. O God as Thou wilt! is each mother's prayer Knacking alone in Gethsemane; If I didn't the cup—give strength to bear The Cross and its thorns of agony! O Christ! soften Thou the hearts of men, And teach them for what Thy life has stood. Lead them gently unto Thee, and then them— Unite them all in one brotherhood.

Miss Walker Was a Decided Hit in Hammersmith building of the Colored Belfast. (By The Mule.) Miss Walker was still taking curtain calls when the managed called "next act" and was such a hit that Willie Hammerstein wanted her to remain the second week. She accepted in the white dancing act booked in following week-refused to work if Miss Walker worked so she had to cancel her engagement. Everything the Ofays do in the line of singing and dancing we got them beat. What about it folks? Its original with us, not mechanical. I, as a brother performer, believe in trying to put acts playing small time that deserve credit of recognising the star in the line. Some of us believe that nobody can be the old performers. We shouldn't think that way because when the president was shot another one succeeded. The world is getting more enlightened every day. There was a time when the world was�raged a performance dreamed the more funny he was not today. It's a long-term class, me boy class; the old performer got this when it was easy picking so instead of knocking when we say so and so is dead, say skadmore is keep-the-goods way to my story. I'm very stole my stuff because you must have copied it yourself for there's nothing new beneath the sun. It's only re- vived. Since all the picture houses have closed, the acts are having it hard to get work so performers don't come to New York. Two performers went to an Ofay agent and said "What do you think of the Freeman about you?" These two performers had better get themselves some legitimate work. Don't worry me or I will call your name, Mr. Stool and stop stopping me on Broadway, so good night United Brothers of Hammers. --- Bradford & Jennette opened at the Pontiac Theatre last week, Saratoga, Ore. The show was held over. (Men you can't sing no blues for the Ofays.) Tim, there are some good acts around here that you can play yours and Simms, such as play the Trio, Keys & Walker, Three Nashville, Students, Murphy & Walker, Simms & Simms, Coneel & Kelly & Davis. (Bub they've got 'em.) * * * * Wilbur B. Sweatman will open on the Detroit Mr. Monday at Temple in Detroit. Mr. Monday has a new rag called the "Old Folks Rag."

"String Beans" is back again this week. He has many admirers, and they came out to see him. He has done considerable overhauling in his work. He is a kind man who is a good of downright merit. This is particularly true of his last stunt—his "planologue" if one may so call it. Butler May "String Beans" gives a better description of the smoking "it-tanic on the plane, greatly surprising the audience by his playing. He played a lively air, such as would be played when passengers are going on board a great ship. He played the唱子, which he received to be those of the various classes of passengers "as they danced." Amid these he throws in the minor monotony of the plunging vessel as it made its way. He is knowledge of minor chords, chromatemologicals, enabled him to give, give, give, give, give, give, terrifying effect when the vessel went down. He adds some humor at the close, but which was not necessary. His audience saw "String Beans" in an entirely different light. He opened with his usual fun and which is a part of him. He's funny every minute. He puts over a good "Fool." It is a winner. He isn't a good "Fool." It is a winner. MORES AND EDWARDS Mores & Edwards do what may be called a pretty act. Miss Edwards appears as a flower girl, selling her goods, yelling out to passersby in her flowerbloomed bloom. Miss Flowers Bloom in Spring* with a pretty, soulful voice, making an excellent impression. Mores has a splendid voice, fitting this Italian impersonator's songs on Marilyn. The little skirt is his own, in which they are seen together, the latter part of which is so beautiful that the skirt is a small piece of business. They were room-lovers, but now estranged. They both show cleverness in this Italian characterization. He would have a flower, a bouquet of flowers. He buys one. She makes the price far too high. But when he tells why he would buy flowers, she makes the entire outfit. This is pathetically done, making for a very successful act. THE A. LINCOLN HARRIS TRIO Does "What Jealousy Will Do." The trio is A. Lincoln Harris, Miss Sadie P. Butler and Clifford Davis. The plot is that the play is fairly mature by the time he is 18. A. Lincoln Harris, a friend of the family; Georgia "Galbread" is Sadie P. Butler the wife; "Robert Galbread" is Clifford Davis, the husband. Clarence Davis takes advantage of his friendship with the Galbreads, having fallen in love with the wife. He works on her and in time concludes with the husband. He wins her to him and to cast her aside after satisfying his purpose. This is clearly brought out. Mr. Harris is good in showing his intent. Miss Sadie is a woman of many times, winning applause by the womanly resolves. She has the sympathy her side owing to the mastery villa she has built. She thought to be lost, when she would Jingle Subscrip- To the persons sending into our MAN we will give five six months' su- gle. One subscription will be given ea- gle each week during the contest.

Her character impersonation is a success. She makes the biggest hit any female single that has shown at this house. **Miller & Johnson.** This team is the best and class.

At the request of Miss Emma Griffin, Joong I. in the Colored Actors' booming age, all the colored stories of the city held since the 1940s. Friday week at midnight. The meeting took place in the ice cream parlor and was opened by Rosa Llee Tyle's class at 313. State meetings were held in the city, who presided, made a few preliminary remarks along the lines of effort-promoting an colored chain booking agency. Her work was completed that she had profited by the criticism I had recently imposed upon her radiative work. She had a lot of her efforts do not fully prevail, that she is now a figure that all managers of colored theatres and booking agents have reckoned on position she holds among actors at present is one of probation. Whether they are more effective, they have no need, not all depends upon her business ability, rather than her ambition or assertiveness, but she could be liberation. She has been a full time of the same as a fully determine upon the basis of her credits. The speakers called the members A. A. Moore, Andrew Tribble, Muriel R. Rineau, George, Sylvester Russell, Irvin Miller, Tom Cross, and William H. Smith. The choice of decision was the problems of long unprofitable jumps, poor salaries and the forfeiture of contracts by cancellation. W. A. A. Moore, a magazine writer, made a fluent speech and acted as secretary. Robie talks about himself, in regards to looking Miss Robbie was closed to talk. Horace George and Irvine Miller were the most important of the文章. Irisna Miller's abilities of the propagation Tom Cross introduced the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association of New York, the first of the first women's association. B. B. Women's auxiliary, as the best method of united reenforcement which was loudly applauded. W. H. Smith was a well-known development firm. Grand theatre from a colored performers' viewpoint. But Mr. Smith is most close to the state. V. B. A. and is he is not eligible, will have a say to what the actors will do. I was much pleased with the big reception I got. I am very well-known. I am a C.V. and the sentiments in regards to the C.V. B. A. and I reiterated as I have done before that the organization should be supported by the board of benefits and the non-financials should not be expelled, as the only means of holding the actors together. I am a leader of the league of L.M.R.R. and I advised an "emergency benefit" in Chicago at an early date, to finance new development. Among others are present. George, William Billy Cumby, Mr. Warfield, Rockpie & Buster, Rosa Llee Tyle, Charles Gerard, and a family starks, and Davenport, Marqie Low, Berti Grant and others. Sylvester & Vance at the Grand— "Ten Dark Knights, Big Card blame. The singer had forgot his slides and there is no regulation. Owley & Davis at the New Monogram. That Tim Owley and Sam Davis framed up a very good sketch in his room, and he was the judge of applause and laughter. Not only was their talk legitimate, but modern, and their songs were good. Johnson and his band were excellent sketch that was legitimate. Noel Washington, the bird imitator, and their songs were good. Johnson and made a hit on his merits, and Annetta Link, a white actress, was a buck dancing contest took place last Saturday night. Willie Coran was winner. Burton & Robinson at the Monogram. Charles Burton, the singer and Sam Burton, the band leader, but flighty, was the fun card at this house and their musical instrumentation highly pleased. I beg to be here, but I am good enough. The Mills sisters are well received. The solo by one of the sisters, was too slothful and sighing and she held her whole notes too long, as most unintentional. The music was her voice however, was sweet. Lewis & Lewis returned better than ever and stuff. Kitty Sherman, a white actress has been here too often. The orchestra needs a violin badly. The buck is strong. Beans Picks, Willie Coran, winner Esmer Douglass, James Payne and Carl Hall. There is tango dancing at the Monogram Tuesday and Fright nights. At the Picture Houses. The States had "Mandy's Choice" a colored film, supplied by the Afro-American Billy Harper, Anthony Byrd, Sara Green Byrd and Charles Glinp in the cast, which made people scream. "Dope" drew big publicity. The Lincoln, managed by Leo Salikin, of the Salikin enterprises, is much more colorful than the consists of Paul Wyer, violin; Logo Thomas, planist; James Tate, cornet and Tilda Trapa. The Phoenix, the Strike, "Gentleman Burglar" and "Cherry Pickers" filled the house and the orchestra as excellent. The Pekin, manager the management of Fred Linnick, a brother of the firm partner of Jones, Knick & Chick Pickers, famed for proving in patronage "Washington at Valley Forge" is next Sunday's picture. The Washington—"Frederick the Great" is next Saturday's attraction and "The Siege of Chasos" Sunday's picture. The Alamo—The Queen of Camargue is stated for next Sunday. This little house now has an orchestra of The Fountain—This house is situated on the Thirty-fifth street opposite Grand Boulevard and people can easily drop in to the garages after the picture plays are over.

Harry Massengale and Odessa Crosby is reported to have stopped the show at Howard Johnson Theatre, I.C., two weeks ago in their instrumental and comedy act. The Elite orchestra is furnishing some nice music in the café, which is crowded nightly. The artists are Ollie Perry, violinist, Tony Jackson piano and Don Conoy traps. George R. Garner, Jr., will appear in Cleveland, O, May 25th. He will lay gaggle for College on the 26th and Toledo to follow.

Kelley, of Kelley and Catlin is the chief orchestralist. I was about to impart that the old veteran actor is sporting a gold headband at his own banquet given by Robert Tasker in Buffalo on his trip home last season.

Europe, who failed to send word of his special appearance down town, I took a run down to the Majestic to see Al Davis and Bonnie Glass, white tangoists, and their special colored orchestra, on the stage. The act was set in a porch scene with globe lights, potted plants and a three legged piano. In order to see the splendor of the dancers and hear the music at a distance, I sat up in the gallery among the curious witted people you see among the poor, those who sit alone, love alone, stare alone, starve alone and slumber alone under the magic spell of art and musical enchantment. The program consisted of Aeroplane waltz, Brazilian Maxie, a Govotte and one step Eccentrique. The orchestra consisted of Erskine Tate, a good violinist, Ben Turner piano, Will Armstrong cello, Turner Jones banjo, John Bosley harp guitar and George Smith, a good sensational artist on trap druffing.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEA TRE. PHILADELPHIA. Fannie Wise, who is remembered as a star, the musical comedy, *Ted Wood*, by her headliner at Gibson's New Standard songs. "Why Do They Call Me Snow Ball" pleased the large audiences so much that she was repeatedly called before the curtain. Little has been known about her life, but she lives with the gift of Fannie Wise, who has spent a number of years abroad. She has young swepes, a loving mother and a former her melovable singing the star of the week. Such a combination of youth, grace, beautiful voice and power of emotion, she has been a treasured world. She was an artistic surprise to every one who heard her. She was a teacher at Amherst, Evon Robinson and Alice Ransey sang well and danced well. Ethel Williams, Adele Johnson and Grace Browne, all of whom mirth and melody love mingled with frolicsmess, and the bill was rounded out by "Joining a Show," a performance by the mirth and melody comedian, S. H. Dudley, and an aggregation of lively singers and dancers as assistants, which was an attraction. Her act is attractively staged and Dudley, with his amusing antics and his keen sense of humor, is unfailing in his performances, and she has provided many laughing opportunities. His trained mule also played an important part. The attraction next night was Whitney's Smart Scooter in the musical comedy, "The Wrong Mr. President." Thos. A. Brooks. Thomas A.

Miss Lulu Lawson, formerly of Old Man's Boy Company, who has been playing in vaudeville through the south successfully will leave for New York soon. The writer is anxiously waiting her return. Brooks & Bowen are at the Alhambra Theater. Copeland & Payton are at the Bijou Theater, Bay City, Mich. Cooper & Robison are at the Majestic Theater, Kalamazoo, Mich. Miss Alda Overton Walker offered the prevailing ball room dancing act assisted by Lackey Grant, at Hammond Hall, with a custom-made own colored orchestra. But their turn differs from their Caucasian contemporaries in that they open with the daxine and the Heslop Tango in the second, the Degree in the final and finally what is called a Jiggeree. These latter consist of considerable hip gyrating and swaying, finishing with a trio of dancers, dancing. A good pair of dancers, but the act is not sensationally effective.

The next stand, Willimantic, Conn., at the opera house, where Primm, Dockside star, disrupted, dotted some secrecy in accommodations so small as 15 people and owing to a colored show coming out of the hotel that show playing in the city, it aimed for the management to get accommodations for the troupe.

WILBERFORCE, O.—Wilberforce University doubtless enjoys the distinction of being the only colored and the most important of which will have white colleges in baseball. This year especially, has been noteworthy in the fact that Ohio State University has been the most popular team of baseball, and the Wilberforce, April 10th, on the same day as the last game of Wilberforce in one of the best games of the�, the local for some time by the score of 10. 1. Ohio State University has easily the best college team in the state this year and since the game of the Wilberforce has been affected. Purdue, Oberlin and Indiana University. In the game with Ohio State, Lawrence Simpson, who played in the State of State Sports, allowed the visitors only four-hour hours while Wilberforce secured five hits off Trautman, the premier twirl- The game was not too much compared by either side until the eighth inning, when a hit coupled with two errors gave Ohio State 2 runs and the game, their hit has been the same. Wilberforce was the first strong bid but secured only one run. Since playing Ohio State University, Wilberforce has played in the State of College and has been a long-term member of the University defeated the varsity by the score of 7 to 6, while Wilberforce easily defeated Otterbin Union game with the same game with Wilberford was played on their grounds in Springfield, Ohio. Wilberford has had an exceptionally strong record for the game.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE LIVE THE LOCAL BUSINESS TERMS ACCOMPLISH THE FINALTE JACK JOHNSON COMING INTO HIS OWN. Championship Recognized by the French Boxing Federation—The Finances of Reno. (BY Billy Lewis.) It will be surprising to many to know that Chamblee was born into a French. On May 9, the sixth boxing Federation, the such authority in France on such matters, decided to award the woozy weight champion of the Perhaps it is enough to know that both books included to recognize the view, viewing it from a standpoint of races. But it was the title that the duckback. He came into title legitimately. It is as much as the Kohinoor. In our own country it was made of course, made up of side track him in championship was an unpalatable truth that had to go down and had to stay down. The newspapers, some of those in the east, by which we made an effort to course, hoycotyled from their hops, hoping that the *thing* would spread, and to paraphrase on a well known author the living Johnson and knew that the living Johnson and Johnson dead. But "conscience makes cowards of us all" long the champ's apparages of office et oeuvre. The public. Once too much in love with Johnson, he should not stand for this blow the belt. It would accord him what he knew, but it would find other measures of reducing his highness to a suitable size. He rehearse here. Perhaps he will not say public, since many have stood for a fair deal as it concerns the change. These are honorable, too proud, him anything not merited. Right by one or two men may evade it, may walk it, but they will not assault it. All well that ends well," and in all its definition is contested nowhere okey. According to Johnson, he pulled off as advertised, June 27, at the Veletronde D'Armes, an area of 26,000 living capitals, and chance has been made in the management. Theodore Vlenne, a prominent member of the boxing feature, he in charge. The former retired. The world knows fairly well what was done at Reno. It knows the reacts of the Johnson-Jeffries fight. It knows something of the "high" fight among the greatest of the financial opportunity to know the financial reacts can inform themselves by the following from the "Life and Battles of Jack Johnson": a share of the money was as follows: Six per cent of the purse----- $ 60,000 10,000 50,000 of moving pictures----- 50,000 Earned after signing articles and before fight _____ 75,000 Total _____ $129,000 Total earned by both fight _____ $373,666 The gate receipts amounted to $270.75. There were 15,760 paid admissions. The profits on the battle which went to Richard and Gleason were about $125,000. What Johnson earned at Las Vegas is not known, but it is fifty thousand, but it is said that he accepted to take much less because they didn't do so much, but by a good many thousands after the fight with Flynn. He made a few purchases, the player with which perhaps brought his earnings up to something like $200,000. Peru he quit even on his saloon venture, which he hastened back from Las Vegas. He also pennantly paid all right, but he did the business, and would have continued the business had it not been for Johnson spent a fortune defending his views. He succeeded personally in persuading the Negro to express elsewhere. In fact his case caused considerable tightening up along the line he essayed. He has been able to persuade the Negro who has spent the most money in pressing his suit in court, or defending himself. Perhaps he has more cash in his possession at one time than he has spent on cleaning up more money in the time that any other Negro. He had the same man, but he paid nearly for living it.

Veteran Sporting Writer Recalls Army of Title Holders Who Trained for Championship Battles at Old Land Mark—Only Wreck- SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Who has not heard of Croll's Gardens, Alameda, camp for pugilists with a score of miles of San Francisco? "The place referred to had vogue, but it was not in Croll's. It was called Neptune Gardens 3 years ago, and it was a favorite of people from the San Francisco side of the city," the San Francisco side of the city. There were skating rinks, shooting galleries, dancing pavilions, and what not. "It is in those years and not the least of the ice-cold beer that was drawn in steins from a thousand kegs. The Alameda folks resented the idea of catering to San Francisco's Sunday thirst and love of frivolity and something Neptune Gardens was or something Neptune Gardens was. Down through the years the buildings and the fountains and the statuary disappeared piece-meal, and Croll stables and a garish structure, all peaks and angles, known as the Wig- A few days ago a crew of carpenters was busy dismantling the Wigwam in the Westingfield Road. The winternort's head of the fact pugllistic is in the process of being long ago were revived. Why, fight fans of several generations have been called into the Wigwam from time to time to watch chivalry and a new to prepare themselves for ring struggles that are famous in the history of the game. The same token many of the stars of the boxing arena who trained in the Wigwam have passed to the beyond. Let me recall a few of the names: "Rock Dempsey, Tommy Warren," "Paddy, Duffy," "Peter Jackson," Joe Gans and Joe Dixon. The writer was one of those who had old recollection called by the Washington Wigwam to be "as Tommy Ryan train there for his match with Jack Havlin of Boston, at the California Athletic club a good quarter to see the world." Havlin, I remember, had trouble with his weight. He was a protege of Tom O'Rourke, and it was necessary to keep the work on the market. He was a great hours on the day of the bout. Poor Jack had nothing left but his pluck when he toed his scratch and that did not save him from a merciless prodigy. Just as far back in the abyss of time I saw Paddy Duffy of Boston train at the Wigwam for go with Tom Wigwam of Australia, one of the best known the world over saw. Meadows was a peculiar fellow. He knew a boxing ring as a billiard room, but he knew there were oolets of things he didn't know. He had to make weight for Duffy and he decided the best way to himself was to go over at Joe Diefens, where he trained he boasted that all he had eaten in 24 hours was an apple. eaten all 24 hours Wits an apple. "You'll be weak," some one re- morning. "Don't you believe it," he answered, "If I can only make the weight Flick lick him sure." The apple diet did for Meadows who after a few rounds was too feeble to keep his arms up. Both Meadows and Duffy are dead, so Mike, the coach, has been given grant, for his match with big Joe McAuliffe and I saw Peter Jackson train there for his bout with Jim Jeffries. Jack-knife though he was still as proud as Lucifer and resented any suggestion that he was scarcely the Peter of old. The Olympic club Gene Vancourt, a friend of Jeffries, grabbed Peter's hand and said: "Peter, Jeff told me to give you his beak, to be downcast." Jackson snorted. "You tell Jeffries to find himself," he retorted, "Just let him give me a return match and he will be the one that will be downcast." I saw Jim Corbett train at the old Wimbledon france with Jeffries. Jim Corbett manch experience with Jeffries, figured that what he needed most of all to successfully cope with the "bollermaker" was At Croll's he had his exercise room fitted up like a professional strong man's den. There were giant lifting bars as well as the rest of what they did not help him. The funny part of it is that while Corbett was training for brawn Jeffries' was training for speed. At Jeffries' training quarters when he wrote a writer: "I want you to watch closely and tell me honestly if I outbox Corbett." Coming away from the ring he THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER stopped at the press benches and said to me, "Well, did it?" "You certainly did." I answered. It was at the Wigwam that Joe Walcott trained when they had to handle ferryboats and ferryboat coming across the day of the fight. This was Tom O'Rourke's scheme for removing a reluctant amount of weight and saving his forfeit. Bob Fitzsimmons trained there for his match with Jeffries and Joe Gans to match George Dixon, Abe Attell, Tommy an, Hugo Kelly and an army of pu-tunny names; can not just now recall also pu-tunny names. And now all that remains of the Wigwam are the stump of a chimney and a few splinters of wood painted in yellow.—By the late W. W. Naughton. A. B. C.'S STILL WINNING Beat the Reserves in a Fine Game. Last Sunday was an ideal baseball day and the fans rejoiced, turning out in fine style at the Northwestern Park and the Indianapolis Reserves. The battle was hard fought, making for one of the most interesting games. B. C's, mounted the stand, for some reason the white fellows gave him a good pounding from the jump. B. C's game were made under his administration, which occupied the brief space of about one-third of the first inning. Johnson was qualled, and he proved that he was a good player. The battle at once and kept it turned through the struggle. But at that point, the game was over, and last. Time and dine again there were situations when a hit placed right would have sent the score a soaring. B. C's had of those psychologic challenges when they cleaned up four runs. Romine, the Reserve pitcher, was a very demon owed the very last. The A. B. got it better. he was perhaps taming down a bit, he was perhaps dawning no defence, it appearing desperate can no longer last. the fans did not know who he was, well, he is some baseball man, he is a big fan, he had him signed up for this year, but for some reason he refused to report, he gets a big sandwich at it, for each game. The Reserves are a good bunch of good clubs from various parts of the country, Carl Miller is of the San Antoz, Texas is of Summers is of Rio Grande, is of Springfield, O.

Old Forty-five dropped a ball after a kick, he redeemed himself by shouting out his man by firing to Taylor at third. Redding, the umpire, had a time of it. But his heart was right. If he erred on the one hand he fixed it up at the earliest opportunity. The teams were more equally matched than the men been before. Taylor's man show advanced the method of advancing the men on buses. They make bunting a specialty. The Reserves did not seem to do much for this phase of the game. The West Baden Spruedls will meet the A. B. C's next Sunday. This is Taylor's old team minus the part he played in manapolis. Something good is expected.
