Arthur Bally-Blanchard, a white man, who has been secretary of the American Association for President Wilson as Minister to Haiti, to succeed Former Congressman Madison R. Smith, who is already having volunteer work at the place he was appointed but a few months ago. Mr. Smith was already in the United States, having been a minister to Haiti in slave of absence. The new Haitian minister will assume his duties at Port-au-Prince as soon as he can return to this country. M. Bailey-Blanchard has been in the diplomatic service in various capacities. He was a member of the ambulance experience to fit him for the discharge of the delicate functions that will devolve upon him now in the office of the Ambassador. There are similar interactions between Haiti and the British government. Since 1912 he has been secretary of the American Embassy at Tokyo, and served as charge d'affaires after the retirement of Ambassador In keeping with a tradition of long wading, there was a hope among the students that he would again be named for this important post, but circumstances ordained him to hold the colorful mural at hatties times past. He was Minister to炎热 France: Reed Douglas John, John Angston, J. Angston, Thompson, E. B. Bassett, S. D. Durham, Powell and Henry W. Furrill. George W. Williams, of Ohio, was once named for the place, but was not confirmed. The Assistant Registership of the Treasury. Is the office of Assistant Register of the Treasury to be a w-o-the-wisp? Yes, he is. He was the Senate for this sung little birth to the name of John Floyd King, a for-mer Representative in Congress from New York. He was the district of the District, where he has been engaged in mining operations. Mr. King was a member of the 46th, 47th, and 48th Congress, March 17, March 4, 1887). He is a native of Georgia, having been born at Monticello, making him 22 years of age. He served in the Army, enlisting in Virginia, and rose to rank of colonel of artillery. He was appointed to the position of planting. He studied law and was once time brigadier-general of the state troops. He finally retired. The Senate promptly confirmed Col. King and he has assumed his duties at the opposite that of Register Parker, who is also the senator. However, the Senate committee on appropriations, reporting the legislative, and the year, amends the House act by dislashing the office of Assistant Regisher the fell scoop. If the bill as amended is approved, the House will be maintained in conference, Col. King will be isolated out of office.

Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the National Negro Democratic League, and Mr. A. E. Manning, editor of the Negro Race's most influential newspapers, spent several days in the city last week on an important mission. They held a meeting of the most dignitaries of the democratic party on matters touching the welfare of the Negro. At the capitol and in the city, they have been most cordially received and the captains in charge of the political affairs of the democracy spoke most encouragingly of the lections of the Negro. It is stated that the impression left with Bishop Walters and Mr. Manning was that something of a definite and likely outcome should show the sincerity of those made the Negro in the recent national campaign. The eminent prelate and the energetic Hoosier statesman was emphasized the importance of shafting the attention of Congressional and state elections. It was made evident to the magnates that a crucial period in the history of the Negro reached and the future depended upon the wisdom of the course now taken by those at the helm.

In view of the high, high and low, from the outside, the heads of the various departments deserve more credit than they have received, and they which they have resisted the clamor and clung to the merit system ordained clerks, messengers, barbers, etc. colored SKAT!!

While I do not want to encourage any body of our people to move in this matter unless they feel their complaints are amply justified by condition, I do not want to be busy in mind that railway officials are persons and whatever we say to them should be definite and to the point. I would like to present the following program of protest: First—A statement of present conditions. Second—A statement of conditions desired. I believe that the following statement covers pretty well the conditions covered in this chapter, and plain as well as the conditions we should like to see enforced. If any, please contact the appropriate community. I urge upon you to see that they are brought to the attention of the proper officials. I. PROPER ACCOMMODATIONS IN RESTAURANTS CONTROLLED BY RAILROADS. A. Present Conditions. I. Major persons can purchase no food at railroad restaurants, the majority of cases. This makes it necessary for them to try to obtain food at the railroad restaurants. II. If they are allowed to purchase food at railroad restaurants, they must take the food out of the place, be sent to some room not properly cared for, or waiting at the lunch stand until it is almost time for their trains to leave. IV. Colored restaurants are seldom enough to its depreciation of any service to the public. I. Opportunity to purchase food at railroad restaurants so that colored passengers may be grudgingly given, but as a privilege to which they, like all a privilege to which they are obliged, and without paying higher prices. II. Proper provision in these restaurants so that colored passengers may be grudgingly always, always with a view of their having the same time to eat their meals as other classes of passengers have. PROPER ACCOMMODATIONS IN POTS CONTROLLED BY POTS CONTROLLED BY III. Seldom are built so as to permit proper ventilation. IV. In winter, are very often without fires. IV. Guests are often of the most uncomfortable character. VI. Seldom offer any toilet comforts for colored women who travel in most cases convenience and preparing the toilet, generally, are absolutely unheard of. VII. In almost every case, the accommodations dened colored passengers, as indicated above, are given to other passengers in other waiting rooms at the hotel. (b) Waiting Rooms in Connection With Employees of the Railroads. With Employees of the Railroads ticket agents will not sell colored people tickets until all other passengers have been served, even though colored people tickets are not available to their windows long before the arrival of the most favored class of passengers. IX. The harshness of speech of many ticket sellers, directed sturdily and specifically to colored passages and specifically to the receptive of needless friction and bitterness and is one of the most grievous burdens laid upon colored travelers. B. Conditions Desired: I. Clean waiting rooms. II. Rooms large enough to accommodate comfortably all the colored passengers. III. Properly ventilated waiting rooms. IV. Efficient janitor service as is provided for passengers of the most favored class. V. Comfortable seats. VI. Keep toilets with necessary comforts for women who travel. VII. Ticket agents who will not needlessly be colored passengers who ask for tickets. VIII. Such regulations for the government are ticket offices or such increase in the number of ticket agents, as will permit colored passengers to purchase their tickets in order to check their baggage and go into their trains without needless friction and bitterness. 3. PROPER AND MUST ACCOMMODATE NORMAL HAILROADS. A. Present Conditions: I. Interior equipment of cars, embracing- 1. In many cases, but half of a car the other half being either a baggage compartment or a smoker for white men. 2. In most cases, but one toilet for men and one toilet without conveniences for washing the face and hands. 3. Dilapidated and worn-out cars. 4. Cars without any conveniences for shipping to the boat. Passengers are prohibited from riding in sleeping cars even when they hold shipping tickets. 5. Cars without smokers for colored passengers. 6. Cars without conveniences for the purchase of food. II. Annoyances and Embarrassment. 7. Location of news "butchers" in Negro coaches. 2. Use of the colored coach to transport section hands from one point to another. 3. Failure to keep cars clean. 4. Permitting conductors and news "butchers" to prohibit food vendors at way stations to bring food into cars for colored passengers. 5. Condition Desired: 1. Cars equipped as for white passengers, to include— 1. At least one compartment or car for colored passengers, separate from the car and from the smoker for whites. 2. Separate toilets for men and women, each properly equipped. 3. The same class of cars as used for the most favored class of passengers. 4. A smoking compartment for colored passengers in car construction or equipment as will provide either sleeping accommodations or reclining-chair cars for such changes in car equipment or regulations as will permit colored passengers to purchase food on trains. Steel cars for colored passengers where the compartment is not races, so that the colored coach need not be employed for this purpose. 5. Clean cars. 11. For lunch venders to sell lunches to colored passengers in their cars, that is, permission for them to eat. 12. Some authority to whom these matters may be referred, where friction arises, and who will, in good faith, investigate and adjust them. 4. IN GENERAL DESIRED ARE: I. The same class and quality of accommodations for colored passengers as are provided for the most favored passengers. I. Such regulations as will protect colored passengers from the rudeness and insults of employees of the III. Some definite authority to where we may move, where friction arises, and who will, in good faith, investigate and adjust all those who are going to act on the suggestions to make a united effort, to travel, to other traveling, facilities, should not omit to remind our people that they have a duty to *perform as well as the railroads*. First, our people should try to keep themselves clean and presentable when they arrive and stay with their duty in trying to keep waiting rooms and railroad coaches clean. Second it should be borne in mind that railroads will accomplish by merely talking about what people who are in charge of railroads, the results is to go to the people and talk to them and not about them.

Tisem After Using THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN (Edited by Mme. Mardane.) [Note:—The Freeman Publishing Company has secured the services of Mme. Mardane to our many readers a variety of news which is of particular interest to our women, each week. Also the Mardane contributions contributed by women for women.] By Way of Introduction. Sometime ago the management of The Freeman asked me to conduct a study of women and being a woman of long experience in the life of our womanhood I accepted on condition that I was to have read the book and be feminine readers of this great journal. **Women and Clubs.** The discussion for and against clubs of women are varied and extensive. Occasionally men are against them, as the women are against them, both sides claiming that they cause a sad neglect of duty at home. A faculty of West Fayette, Ind., a majority of mammars being wives of Purdue University professors and instructors, has decided that women are harmful to the home. At a recent meeting, discussion was "Resolved. That Club Life is Beneficial to the Home." The discussion developed into a debate, and sides were being appointed to decide the result. The speakers for the/negative side advanced the argument that club life is more important and engaging, that it keeps a mind of the club members on the subject of papers and plans on the family treatment instead of the family treatment its affair. The argued that women were neglecting their homes for some bad that originated from the lack of support, was more important that they bring up their children properly than that they educate themselves in subjects that were more important to the unmarried women. The affirmative side dwelt on the educational side was more gained in this way than was lost by absence from the family circle a few hours each week. The judges made a decision in favor of the negative. It does not seem that a few hours devoted to special study or work in the field of nursing can be woman of common sense. Of course, it depends upon the individual, and no general rule of benefit can be laid down for the nature and study does not sufficiently influence its members to be of some real benefit to the family: teaching a high degree of knowledge to the parent and wife, by having a general knowledge of things; or if charity work, does not make one broader and more still an appreciation of your condition and thankfulness that you are a useful factor in the feminine sphere; or the short of the purpose of the betterment of women; if the members individually do not see and live up to the purpose of the organization, then all is a failure. The object of most clubs, as laid down in the constitution, is women that truly live up to the law do not neglect their duty, but rather teach their students the resteraes that are theirs as teacher and example in the home, the foundation of a school, that rocks the cradle rules the world. Perfection Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. **Cares That Kill.** Our failure do not keep us down; We rise short when we forget; We turn from the little troubles, too, And wonder why they made us fret. But still we let ourselves be bowed, and we fall. The foolish blinded victims of the cares that never come at all. **The Work of a Local W. C. T. U.** The W. C. T. U. of Indianapolis is engaged in making a crusade on satire, and we fall. Of the many colored schools. Large contributions have been donated by public-spirited men and women of both races to aid in the fight. **What Our Women Doing for Social Tidy?** It should be made known that the women of our race are not by any means asleep in the cause of social upheaval throughout the city of Charlotte, Va. The Women's Improvement League has contributed $318 for the support of a bed in the women's bedroom at the City Hall, women raised more than $10,000 for a Young Women's Christian Association. In a recent meeting of the City Fed-ral, Charlotte, Ala., $750 was raised to assist in paying a debt on the old folks' home; women organized to work in interest of the city—beautiful idea among colored people. **Women Who Are Making History.** Miss Garnett Wilson, a colored student at the schools of Ironton, O., received the Remington pennant for writing the greatest number of perfect words in a Miss Teresa G. Lew graduated from a classical course of the Lowell, Mass. school of a class of 282.

Anderson left Tuskegee Institute on Thursday for her home in Lynchburg, Va., where she will spend the summer. On her way home Mrs. Anderson will stop at Summerville, S.C., to visit her sister, Mrs. Simeon Reader Cohen. Rev. Judkins, pastor of the Dexter Ave. Baptist church of the city of Montgomery, Ala., delivered a series of lectures to the faculty and students of the Phelps Hall Bible Training School during the past week. Mr. and Mrs. William Gillard, of Charleston, S.C., have decided to make Tuskegee Institute their future home. Mr. Gillard for a number of years has served the school as butcher and director of the meat market, and has recently been asked to return and take charge of the same position. The Tuskegee baseball team returned to the Institute after playing a very successful series of games in Tallahassee, Fla. The games played in Florida were with the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College. The first game was a tie, but in the other two "The Tuskegee Tigers" entered the Florida lads to a standstill. Miss Myrtle Moss who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Dickerson, at Tuskegee Institute, left the Institute on Sunday for her home. Miss Moss is from Champaign, Ill. Miss Luella C. Hanna, a member of the class of 1912, and who has been teaching at Mt. Meigs school, spent Friday at the Institution visiting her sister. Miss Hanna left the school on evening train for her home in Gallatin, Tenn. Class of 1915 Presents Bust of Abraham Lincoln to Institute Library. On Tuesday evening the members of the class of 1915 presented a bust of Abraham Lincoln to the school to be placed in the Carnegie library. The platform decorated with "Old Glory," showed Mr. Lincoln's life from the rallsplitter to the emancipation of the ceremonies were conducted by Mr. Ralph A. Marsden, while Mr. Frank Wesley, the president of the class, presented the bust to the acting principal, Mr. Logan. The program was as follows: THE COLORED MAYOR OF BAT. TERSEA. A short time ago the Negro press of America had many good and complimentary things to say of J. R. Archer because of his election as Mayor of the borough of Battersea, an English municipality. It was felt on this side that his election was an exposition of the Negro's standing in that foreign country. We were glad enough to contribute our mite to the flow of praise but with a sense of reservation. It was something, in that he was elected to a position that stood out, it had to be admitted. Knowing the general social situation we were not, no, of what has happened, but of some misdeed, a heck, or something that would make nothing in time. In time our doubt gave away to admiration, thinking of the supposed fine civil and political spirit of a community that chose a Negro as its head, to administer its affairs. In the language of Cyrano De Bergerac, it was all too good to be true. "All that glitters is not gold." The startling information comes that the Negro mayor is being "systematically" harrassed by the white people of the borrough. He has complained to the mayor, and the plant is set forth in the publications of that community. A clipping from one of these publications had this. "After patient toleration of numberless jibes and taunts because of his uncle Archer, has at last dislosed to the Borough Council, the distressing position of the man, and the short time he had been mayor, he said, in addressing the council, he had been made to suffer very considerably, appalled by some of the foulness he had been assailed with the foulest innuendoes, and he had had forwarded a letter to his postcards it was possible to imagine. Within the past few weeks he had received at the Town Hall a letter from his mother for being the parent of a black mayor of Battersea. Another letter was so scurrilous a character that he would not correspond to whether he should take legal action with regard to it. His position had been rendered almost insurmountable by the action of certain members of the council who objected to a man of colour to the mayor. Archer is the son of an Irish woman and a native of the West Indies." So after all it turns out that the white people of Battersea were not in love with Mr. Archer, although some of them saw fit to choose him as the head of the municipal government. Our fear for the fate of the Negro Mayor was not without some foundation. He suffered from a new direction. Our own country with all of its advertised and real meanness has not gone the way of this English borough. Had he been elected in America, by a white constituency he would have been respected. Even in the South where Negro opposition is at its worst, when men are appointed to office they are respected. Not until the time comes for a possible change owing to change of administration do we find white citizens opposing them. The case of Robert H. Terrell, judge whose confirmation is pending in the United States Senate is an illustration. When the terms of Negro office holders are expiring every source of pressure is exhausted to have them go. But while in office they enjoy the respect and consideration of all men. So Mr. John Bull, who thought to teach the Americans how to emancipate the Negro, and in the meanwhile, mind you, secretly abetted the South, has exhibited a bit of malignity, of which, it was not thought capable. The municipality of Battersea has tossed Mr. Archer, mayor, high up in the air, as a sportsman does his clay pigeons, in order to get a first rate crack at the game, but he is helpless of that country's fairness. Many years ago, perhaps thirty, the London Illustrated Times had the observation of an Englishman. He said in effect that in America all men were "free" except about four million blacks. These were limited in various ways. However, if the conditions were the same here as there, if we found black men jostling English workmen out of their jobs, we would have the same social relation. The impression of that observation was most profound. It was in that impressionable period of life when men hate best and love best. Our own country was being bitterly assailed by the Negroes, by us, and with that zeal common to all youth at oppression, of its kind, at any rate, because of the treatment of the Negro. Lynching had just begun, a thing we got very much used to in time. But at the beginning the news of a lynching was the signal of assembling of Negroes in every Northern city, they were in considerable numbers, but resolve but it was their most—their only means of protest. We, in our deep distress, as we viewed it, turned to England, the land of Wilberforce, very much as the earth-weared think of heaven, a possible haven, even if never attained. We cited England to shame our own. All, of course, did not read the "Illustrated Times," consequently the thought still obtained that England was for the Negro race. But slowly it became known that the observer in that publication was a prophet. He was even more than a prophet if it were possible. He had it that the industrial situation influenced by Negro workmen would be the cue for the English denouement. Negro workmen have not caused it, nor the thought of them. It makes for a condition fairly unthinkable—but it is a stern reality. Perhaps it is not the proper thing to judge the island by Battersea. We have more than Battersea. We have watched the pendulum swing as it concerned the coming of the prize fighter Johnson. It accelerated. John Bull grew red in the face and talked of its South African provinces. And we, in a measure, agreed with him. But we can not take on this Battersea business without show of feeling. Only a few Negroes are in that borough, perhaps not a half dozen; perhaps Archer's family only. And yet we have this demonstration. It is plain that we have something to be thankful in that our home is in blessed old America. A TIME OF IT IN KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN. At the recent meeting of the Grand Masonic lodge of Kalamazoo, Mich, that body left it necessary to card a newspaper concerning the treatment the delegates received during the session. The white residents were held to be unfair to representatives of the race. They were further characterized as "brutal and un-Christian." It sounds rather refreshing to hear such a protest against uncivil treatment. Not that such treatment is unusual; the protest is unusual. But there is a reason, of course. The poor treatment of Negroes has become so general that it has almost to be considered to which all agree; this is not true, however. Wrongs are resented as ever, but not. In the same way as formerly, and for the reason already stated. The following from a white daily paper is somewhat of a review of what happened: "In the resolution the Negro guests of Kalamazoo scored the white population of the city. The conditions which led to the passing of the resolution are said to have been: "The refusing of a cigar store proprietor last night to sell a cigar to one of the delegates: Barred From Hotels. "The barring of Negroes from hotels and restaurants to such an extent that some of the delegates were obliged to leave the city yesterday afternoon; "The compelling of those who remained to be entertained in small and inferior hotels and restaurants. "The resolution, passed this morning after having been drafted by the resolution committee, and which was sent to Mayor Connable, the Y. M. C. A. officials and the Commercial club, reads: "We, your committee on resolutions, to whom the task of setting forth the grievances of the grand body for treatment of its delegates at the hands of the white citizens of Kalamazoo was assigned, desire to say: "that, at the outset, the delegates to the office, Lodge are as firm a set of Christian morals as in the state of Michigan. We desire to assert further that every one in attendance is a gentleman, in every sense which the name implies, and that they have so conducted themselves since coming to this city. "We desire to add that several delegates were compelled to return to their homes for lack of hotel and restaurant accommodations, while others were compelled to walk the streets until inadequate and oftentimes inferior accommodations could be found. This in the face of the fact that the local lodge had made a contract with the management of Kalamazoo hotel to deliver accommodations to the delegates. Although no accredited member of this body has acted other than as a gentleman, we have been treated as outcasts and criminals. "We desire to appeal to the Christian stintment of his city against this unfair and brutal treatment and ask them to condemn the humiliation to which we have been subjected, none of which was merited. We desire to ask in this regard how the Christian men of this city can themselves in the Golden Rule, much less the teachings of Christ, when such un-Christian practices are tolerated. We desire to protest to the business men of this city against the unjust and brutal treatment which we have received, after we had been given to understand that Kalamazoo welcomes conventions and meetings of all kinds." We will never come to Kalamazoo again unless the spirit of the people here is changed," said the Grand Master this morning. Perhaps the white citizens of Kalamazoo are indifferent to the resolutions of the colored Masons, but the lodge men have done their part. Christianity may not be so indifferent, and to which the resolutions are addressed, in a manner. There have always been social differences based on racial differences and the lodge's role in imperiling the ruling religion of the world". The thought without doubt, calls for a long train of argument. The lodge men have lost nothing by their manly protest. They will not change the well-grounded opposition to the race, but they have given it a severe jolt. They have added more blood to their strength for a renewed attack on the stronghold of prejudice and discrimination.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The weather—great! Railroad days June 7 and 8. It is painful to think of an un- rocked bishop. That's what happened to Bishop Stewart, of the C. M. E. church. The Negroes of Atlantic City, N. J. are making a fight to have a colored principal appointed for the exclusive Negro school of that city—Exchange. Is it necessary to fight for a plain case of duty? The hospital board, the faculty and graduating class of the general hospital training school for nurses, colored department, announce the First Annual Encampment, May 25th, at Allen chapel, Kansas City, Mo. The Freeman appreciates the invitation to be present. The Colonel is home again. He says that he will tour the country. A speaking program is promised until the big event in 1916. Mr. Roosevelt has proved his superior courage in many ways. He may have an added element of "play" to his life to win attention, but he is mostly Mr. Roosevelt. Perhaps he is the greatest character of the present age. If the leaders of the various Mexican factions are really interested in saving Mexico for the Mexicans they will find a quibbles and hair-splitting differences. There is always a spirit of sacrifice as is so often found in the well regulated family. And, after all, the nation is but the greater family, the principles ruling in one place are practically those in the other. Of the five candidates for the legislature selected by the Progressives at Charleston, W. Va., C. H. Jones, colored, is among them. There are 2,500 colored voters in the county. It is thought that these will go for the colored candidate; and, of course, it is expected that they will do more than that. The outcome will be watched pretty closely, although that party shows a decline in the recent past if anything. Governor Ralston has announced his soldier day proclamation—May 30th. He shows his appreciation for the dead and living heroes of the nation. He would have the day "vivid" with the memory of those who walked among men as we do, and yet who cheerfully chose the bitter part that we might have the civil sweets as it becomes a great nation. The keys of our cities for the living. Peace, honor and perpetuated memories for the dead. Railroad days have been suggested by Dr. Booker T. Washington in the interest of better facilities in railroad coaches and about waiting rooms for colored people. Elsewhere in this issue will be seen a communication from Dr. Washington wherein he sets forth many of what may be called disabilities of our people along this line. June 7 and 8 are the days when he asks that we petition the companies and in various other ways urge them to give the colored patrons the consideration possible for them to give. Our national game, seemingly, hath charms of which we were not aware. During the lull in hostilities at Vera Cruz the Americans defeated the Mexicans in a game of base ball 4 to 0. This was May 18th. The contest was between the Fourth infantry and the Agulas, an all-star Mexican team. The grandstand was crowded also the housetops, where a few days before were the scene of hostile demons. In the end, we can get the whole country excited about baseball as we are they won't have time to think of flying at their "mutual" throats. Great possibilities for our national game! Former Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, has announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. He opposes President Wilson's Mexican policy, also the repeal of the Panama canal toll act. Mr. Foraker has been a very good friend to our race, and a very good Republican. However, we can not see that he helps his candidacy in opposing the President's policies. Evidently, Mr. Wilson has the best in tentions in his dealings with Mexico. It is not likely that any one has any thing better to offer at this time. As to the Panama toll exemption business, Mr. Foraker abandons a fine class of men—Republicans and Democrats. The older ones among us, the colored people, knew John L. Griffiths, Consul-General to London, who died in that city this week. He impressed himself on their years ago, when he and his partner, Alfred F. Potts, defended Greenley, who murdered Ida Kersey, the choir girl. Both were young men, people who worked for their parents, and for their so actious that he was only saved from hanging by unusual pressure brought to bear on the Gov- ernor of the state. These young men were foremost in working for the commutation of Greenley's sentence. It was in the air to hang him, and the change brought about by the young attorneys was considered a great victory. From that time Griffiths and Potts had their way in the criminal practice until they concluded to enter the more remunerative phase of the business. Some colored brother, writing in from Vancouver, B. C., had this to say: "I see all the Negro churches in Chicago have turned to a recruiting station to get volunteers to go down to Mexico to fight against a man who resented an insult to a United States officer by demanding gun for gun for a salute. They had better take up arms and fight for their home rights, instead of going down to kill people on their own ground because they demand respect." The brother is quite a distance away, so he can talk with "perfect" freedom. However, he is saying no more than is being said on the streets daily. The United States could improve in its dealing with the Negroes, but at that we are the leading Negroes. We're not more; know more, and have just as much freedom as anybody else in our own affairs. The white folk don't care much about us nosing around about among them. After graduation, then what? That's the question. And here again comes in that perplexing race question. Resolve as we will, yet it must be based on a condition that has no sure permanence. We mean the resolution. Seventy-five per cent of the graduating white boys and girls go with fair assurance to their stations in life. Some may find it necessary to shift about a bit before they "settle" down. But they are cared for nevertheless. In time the other twenty-five per cent—the surplussage—is absorbed in the affairs of life. Our boys and girls, twenty-five per cent, of them, are gathered in by occupations to their liking, and that at the same time sufficiently remunerative. The seventy-five, more or less, per cent, find the battle with the books child's play as compared with the battles of the world. In time, however, the battle with the answer as best they can the various "calls." We are optimistic enough to insist that the demand for the output of the schools is increasing. Within the race is the greater hope for the employment that suits best. Banks, counting rooms and so forth, that are being established by the race are among the greatest forces for good among us. They must be depended on as well as the shops and field. OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD IN INDIANAPOLIS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is an organization the purposes of which is suggested by its title. A large number of influential men and women, white and colored, are a part of the organization. From time to time individuals among them are sent out to spread the "gospel" New York's influential Villard, president of the New York Evening Post, owing to his fitting qualifications, is one of those chosen to advance the interest of the race by going from place to place making a plea for the greater citizenship. Last Saturday evening he made his appearance in this city, where he made one of his characteristic speeches. He stands uncompromisingly for every right for the Negroes that is enjoyed by the white people, the African-American New Yorker, the foremost publications of the country, had the following to say of Mr. Villard: "In his address Saturday night Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard made an eloquent plea for justice—and no more than justice to the Negro. Sooner or later this nation—even the southern part of it—will have to wake up to the fact that the Negro is a citizen. If he is, nothing but disaster—not to the Negro, but to the nation and to free institutions—can come from a failure to treat him as a citizen. We talk of the dangers of imperialism. Yet it is dangerous only as it involves—as it surely does—a departure from American ideals so governing. Infinitely perilous is the existence within our continental boundaries of millions of citizens who have no part whatever in the business of governing themselves. We deny one of our fundamental principles when we deny the right of the majority to rule. And that is what we are doing at the present time. "It is not a question of personal or race prejudice. There is many a man who, if he is honest with himself, must admit the existence of such a prejudice in his own soul. Nor is anything gained by arguing that it is not, in a sense, natural. But this is not the question. The question is whether citizens and taxpayers shall have anything to say about the government under which they live. Even in the south there are newspapers that are making a brave fight against the Negro-baiters who represent southern constituencies. There are men whose sole stock in trade is denunciation of the Negro. Social relations, we all agree, can not be regulated by legislation. No one is proposing any such thing. Nor can we fairness, nor can we afford the well-being that it had with Negro-carpet bag government in reconstruction days. There must be a large patience on both sides. Though we think it wrong to withhold from any American citizen the right to vote, we also think to that the less the Negro has to do with politics at the present time the better. For every one knows that in politics backward races are almost certain to be corrupted by the scoundrels of the more forward race. The Negro has suffered enormously from this contact. "But on the broad question of civil and political rights there can be no compromise. The Negro as he increasingly accumulates wealth, will increasingly realize and assert his rights as a citizen. And he is accumulating wealth with amazing rapidity. One may, as Mr. Villard truly said, search history in vain for a people that has made progress. The Negro has made since the war, the Negro has $700,000,000 worth of property 'practically all acquired within half a century, with no other capital to begin with than the slight discipline of that most wasteful of all work—enforced labor.' This is the more astounding when considered in connection with the obstacles overcome and the narrow field of employment. A race that can show such results is far from being hopeless. The problem, after all, is not a Negro, but an American problem. The interests, not so much of the Negro as of the nation, demand that it be solved in such a way as to make our practice conform to our professions. We can not go on forever giving the lie to institutions without paying the penalty." The News and Mr. Villard are practically in accord on the race question. Either are asking for justice for the colored people, nothing more or less. And as simple as this seems it is a difficult matter to get very much of it—very much justice, if it can be so expressed. The very nature of things will not, perhaps, permit that "peace" between the races which passeth the understanding, yet we should not see opposition sticking out at the slightest provocation. Nor should we feel that we are being hunted down expressly to show us that we are "not expected." Some such condition is known at times. one's character might grow stronger and tuller than said that the green thing in life is to do each thing well, no matter how insignificant a thing it might be—character is the aggregation of each day's life.

Fitzpatrick, the new season is both fair and kicks have been registered this season. He is well played and plays well. When you are out, "that's all." The Cuban Stars beat Williams to some pitches. They do with Wade, Larry and "Rube." It resembles Been when it "Boston," familiarily kicks Thirty-first and State six. Wyckham was up bright saying "push 'em up." The News thinks it best for the Ne groes not to take part in politics at the present time. We do not "heartily" agree with this advice. We are not in for wrangling, "wide mouthed" politics at any time. Some of us, personally, do not care for politics at all. But it is fortunate that most of us do care something for politics. Much of us are unmourned politics. The thing does not belong to any particular set, and when it is conceded that it does, then goodbye to the rest of us. This would be especially so in our case. The Negroes are not to think of themselves as a separate people, regardless of the tendency to have them so. The laws are not respecters of persons. There, in them, are the Negroes anchored as others; and to oust, or the tendency to oust are none the less reprehensible, whoover the authors. We endure much, because much is inflicted, and which cannot be hindered owing to the practical unanimity of the white people. It is of the nature of it. It is the sign of might only. To enter into all the walks of life as those about us is the brand of citizenship. Accept no other. SPIRITUALIST MEETING.

AMERICAN GIANTS WIN FOURTH STRAIGHT GAME Chicago Giants Lose to the Americans 9 to 0—Five Thousand People Witness Game—Wade Strikes Out Seven Men—First Six Innings Best Seen at Schorling's Park This Season —Fumbling With Ball Cause of Chicago Giants Losing So Heavily. Cowardly Games of Six Games, Beginning Saturday 23, and Continuing Until the Following Thursday—Many Interesting Notes Observed by Cary B. Lewis, Sporting Writer of Chicago. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill. May 18—(Special to The Freeman). Five thousand people sat breathless until the sixth inning of the linger's Park, watching the fast and furious game between the American and Crawford, the first seven innings the fans were saying it was the best game they had seen for many a year. Crawford hit a home run, one hit and a scratch hit, was made by the Americans, while the Chicagoans were unable to get any off Wade, who scored in the fifth inning. Booker was up and went out on a high score was made in the fifth inning. Booker was up and went out on a high second with ease, Barber sent one through third on a fumble and Francis scored while the ball was thrown in. Lloyd, Booker, Gans and Monroe were the cause of three more scores being registered for the Americans, and the plate. Nothing doing in the eighth for either side, but Crawford was found on the field, but he lost his "rabbit's foot." At any rate, two of the fastest double plays pulled by McAddo to Buckner to McAddo. To the eyes of the best critics and Foster himself, it was a great play that will go down in baseball history. Wade was the hero of the day. He was not even men and was not supported. The team exhibited great team work and at no time lost a player. Wade was the cause for so many scores being registered against the visitors. He was the stranger to the American Gilmor. The score: American Giants.

Next Sunday the Cuban Stars. Order your seats Saturday for Sunday. A record breaking crowd is expected. The Cuban Stars will arrive in the city on Friday direct from New York, A record national ball. They play a series of six games, beginning Saturday and continuing until the following Thursday. Lloyd, Hill and Barber are leading the American Giants in batting with Duncan forging ahead of Barber. Monroe, is just one per cent monod' Monroe, is just one per cent behind Duncan. Gans is a close second to Monroe. Capt. Pete Hill has his men under excellent control. They deport themselves like gentlemen on the field. This is much better than to annoy the players with a lot of unnecessary argument. . . . Ladies are admitted free except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. This is the courtesy that the management has extended the lady fans of the City." There are no more enthusiastic fans in America than in Chicago. --- More and more the fever is growing for a "Rube" Foster Day sometime during the coming season. It is statistic that a fever should be made in honor of the man who has made colored baseball what it is today in Chicago, the west and throughout the country. Francis' two bagger was the hit that started the boys off. If they can just land on the pill once, the others seem tough, though short, Francis runs like a deer. Miss Mary Ray and Miss Ethel Ridley occupied boxes Sunday. Fitzpatrick, the new umpire for the season is both fair and square. No kickoff is too hard this season. He is well liked both by players and fans. When you are out, you are out, "that's all." The Cuban Stars beat "Cyclone" Joe Williams 15 to 0. They must have some great pitchers, but what will happen to the keystones? It rained, Dougherty and "Rube" it. Be seen. Be there when it comes off. "Boston," familiarly known around Thirty-first streets and the Keystone, was up bright and early Monday morning looking for "Greene" saying "push 'em up," but "Greene" to 0. . . . Bragg, the best known newspaper hustler in the country, was seen at the University's Sunday with an armful of Freeman's from Chicago and the country. He is some hustler. If you want the Freeman, Friday night, Saturday night or Sunday, see Bragg. Petway, Dougherty and Lindsey, who has been given a long rest, will be seen during the series with the Cuban Stars. --- The American Giants are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis. The Giants hope they will continue their lucky streak to be "clipped" when they arrive here. Elwood Knox is urged to bring all the change he can scrape up with some of Archie Greathouse's also. Box seats are on sale Saturday at the game for Sunday. Pay for your seats in advance and there will be no delay in your being properly seated. The ushers are Louis Schooler, advanced agent and chief usher; assistants, Willie Hoskins, Mathew Hendricks and doc J. B. Foster. They are polite to all holding box seats and guarantee that you get the right one. Eddie Meehan is in the box office and he is the fastest man in the city. He is polite and courteous and has won hundreds of friends by exhibiting such traits of character. Mr. Schorling is much pleased with honesty and swiftness. --- Toney Langston is the official photographer. He has taken a number of players were in action and the club will have them on sale during the coming games and fans are urged to purchase a picture last Sunday and judging the proof, it will be the best photo that has ever been taken of any ball club in the city of Chicago. Lloyd and Monroe are still showing up fast around second and second, while center, "Brown Eyes" Barber kills every Spanish at first and Francis is never known to let one fall Duncan, "Oh so sweet," and Booker is "peaches to the world"; Wade a "big man is he"; thus we have the fastest baseball aggregation in America. --- The ladies were out again in large numbers, dressed to a Queen's taste. They came in autos, taxis and elec- tric cars, and all of them and gowns were very noticeable. One lady whose name we were unable to learn was dressed so beautifully, that she sat on her box seat, fans stopped looking at the game and gazed constantly upon her. CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE DOPE.

This record was unusual despite the fact that the team was crippled on account of injuries and sickness practiced by the entire season, the best player was made up of the best players out of the lineup, while others were missing in various games, the team not prescribing its regular lineup on the team. Walker and Dendell pitched great ball and should have made better records, but the full team been behind him. Walker pitched a 12 to 0 no-hit game in Aniston. NEW YORK SPORT NEWS.

However boresome a convict drama may be in vaudeville, we had a touching story in the "Stroke of Twelve," in one act, presented by Hoyt, Lessing & Company. Harry Antrim, a mimic-and-the-man, very interesting fellow and Betty Val, of a earlier capacity was second in the contest. The Four McKiels in Scotch entertainment, were genuine and good. The Six Castrillions, Cuban acrobats, were good. Taylor & Armstrong warn us that if we are to be aيطولغونج, a death will get out of the parlor in specialities. The last half of last week had the Kraytons, hoop rollers, in a new and novel drama act. Others were Minerva Courtney, an actress too mechanical, and the other who is good in a "Prairie Romance," supported by Harry Irwin, a splendid boy of the wild west and Robert H.

(By Webb Taylor.) Say what you will or may the Grand Theatre is one of the finest theatres ever erected for colored people and its pleasures were treated to one of Man theatrical has ever been seen for some time. There were four reels of real high-class movies, then the real work he did was in the out "Places." The dainty sister team of Ramsey & Brown responded and they put over an act of singing, talking, changing that stands out, believe me. Following them came an act that no one ever reads nor thinks about. Howard & Howard, commonly known as the "Brown Brothers" and real hattenbeng paper manipulators. This is one colored act that stands alone; none other like it and we learn that they are to open on the Dudley time soon. If it true he took it to Henry. He don't sleep much.

One of the most hilarious, amusing two-act musical comedies ever seen in this city is the Smart Set Co., in "The Wrong Mr. President," which was presented all this week at Gibson's's The New York Theatre with the "Salt, Tattie, Whitney in the title role. He had the benefit of a company of 23 people, divided equally to sex, who introduced catchy musical hits, singing individualmale and choir. The most post-graceful manner the latest captivating dances. It is cleverly put together and contains much fun, nonsense and good comedy. The company made the effect of their own fun. The event was good. The transfer of the Standard Theater property was made to John T. Gibson last week, who now is the sale owner and manager. It is one of the most valuable pieces of the arty owned by a single Negro in this country. Its assessed valuation is $79,000. The colored people of this city certainly did appreciate the fact when they heard the news, hundreds were more than one of the new dances. But it was not only to see the show, but to homage to the man who has made it possible for them to see the best on the road in their own house, which equals any up-to-date theatre in the world. And controlled by their own people. John T. Gibson, now is the man of the hour. The ball team was a winner in Oklahoma, but are losers daily in Kansas. We are lucky to have her. Our $10,000 special is receiving a new coat of paint. She will look like a princess in her new dress she's complete. She had come some photo made in her leopard skin dress.

Howard Drew and the Olympics -Rickey Won't Play Ball on Sunday-A New Negro Heavy -Weight Discovered. (By Billy Lewis) The question is asked "Will those story legs of Howard Drew retain their matchless speed?" No one, or one can answer the question even Howard Drew himself. This has in mind the leg that a stretched mech was on the last Old World games, the result of overtime, preparatory to the races. Drew thinks he will have no trouble, but his many friends are fearful that the old world move gently. this all depends on Drew's condition in 1916. His leap is as far as it is known, to jumping and other stunts, and with satisfaction so far as the present situation is different to the stout. He is fighting this at least, until the great meet when he has a chance for the greatest distinction among the men. He is eating one and two meals a day and in various other ways he is holding up an advantageous sack and weight. Manager Branch Brackey of the St Louis Browns will not work with his son on Sunday. That's a most startling piece of intelligence. It is worth seeing that, one in ten men in ten thousand who interested in the same business. He is interested in the games. Well, the Sunday game did appear a rather hard tilt to swallow, that is, for many of us, we now swat up our "sweaty cans" just as those who were Sunday baseballists from the very begin- One does not care to open the old wounds. Sunday baseball has an army and in spite of its going to stay. The fact says very much; more than careful men care to discuss the issues. That religion is a matter of individual conscience and Sunday observance is a party of the creeds in living business when it seeks to see any day as a time for religious worship, sets up a society for rest is the economic prowess conserving the nation as to its physical health. We think of the situation as presented. That there has been an adherence to the Sabbath as we know it, been a distinct society for the Christianity and helped for the world. Yet the rebels the idea are entitled to the Sabbath. Laws have a part of the belief were the Man of the Cross. The church is not the state. The idea of recreation Sunday baseball has been great for thousands, this aside from the religious contro- But Rickey is just as downcast over a Sunday defeat and as happy when he was played on some week day day. When on the road Rickey and Austin confer at Sunday breakfast, about the time of the war of the team and other points that need attention. Then Rickey drops out of his club until the players return after the game. He is worried of the team. It they lose he consoles them. Rickey spent last Sunday in Cleveland who is an old friend. But he was at the hotel when his players returned and got a detailed report of what happened. There is no reason why my club can not play one day a week without me," Rickey said. "I hope I am not such a fool. I have always害怕 bursts the team on the Sabath. The boys no doubt played as well Sunday as they would had I . . . Finding a new negro heavyweight is very much like finding a new star in the heavens. But that is what has been done. H. T. McDaniel, a sportswarRI, is the authority for the following. "Every once in a while Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette take jaunts through the south cleaning up all colored boxers who developed below-month and Dixon line. But, not only both the diskette and theிரate, they are likely to steer clear of New Orleans for both have felt the effects of Harry Will's wall. Wills is a new colored star looming up the heavyweight horizon. And in their there's to be the front of the more merous white hopes now posing before the public, it begins to appear that some method will have to be found to eliminate the New Orleans negro. Wills is a splendid specimen of drab blood humanity. He stands 6 feet 3 inches long, stickles feet, welches 225 pounds and is fast and awkwardly clever. He has the pose of an inexperienced ringster, but he for his so-called as well intended leaves to avoid his. Harry first bounded into the New Orleans limelight about two years ago when he defeated Johnny Tholmer, a huge colored heavyweight, who had aspirations on the championship. Then he defeated most everyone else who came out with finally a on-year ago boxed a draw with the levette. The Jeannene scrap made Wills a star south, and Bangton was brought down, and Bangton instead the Boston heavy came near before knocked out. Sam dropped in the first round to crumble to his feet before the count came up. Bangton rallied and in the next round, Bangton rallied and in the next minute a beating, only to have the New Era scraper pull himself together and hit him all over the ring in the first. Wills is game, tough, strong and also he's fast. He has the chance to be formidable for Jack Johnson. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES. The Chinese baseball team beat the team at Franklin, Ind, 3 to 6, the past week after having beaten the Chicago University team by a score of 5 to 6. Milburn Saylor, the Indianapolis welterweight, is still knocking out his opponents in fights in Australia. His English welterweight is Tom McCormick, the top of the deep in ten rounds, whom he put in the first of the world's first battle. Saylor has won lost one on a foul. WEST BADEN, IND.—The manager of Batting Young Viney and Kid Black is willing to make a side bet that these boys will defeat any boy at the weight. Young Viney, 42, Kid 145. The boys are on their way from Omaha, Neb. where they made good. Will come through Indianapolis for a day or so and from there will light Monday week. Both boys are in splendid condition and will take on any of the Indianapolis boys, preferring Kid Edwards. Address Jesse Viney, West Baden, Ind. CENTRALIA, Ill., May 16.—Loren Steinheimer, amateur light heavyweight champion of the United States' first professional fight and made a good showing against the veteran, Howard Wigam. of Indianapolis. Steinheimer did most of the leading, but Wiggam evaded the clean punch and landed most of the clean punch, and there was a decision given, Wiggam entitled to a shade, while many of Steinheim's friends considered the bout a good draw. Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh pugilist, arrived in Palm Beach met by a number of sportmen. He went immediately to Butry, where he will train for his fight with Jack Johnson, June 27. NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Teschner, of Harvard, won the second of tying the world's record in winning the 220-yard dash in the anthem, and freshman track meet May 16. He was hit 21.2-5 seconds. The Yale freshman won the, meet 71 to 33 points. A cable from Australia brought the news that young Saylor, the Indianapolis lightweight, who won five successes in the 2012 season, was outpointed in a twenty-rounds contest Melbourne by Fred Kay, a new lightweight who recently has been depleted. Manager Fay Bronson clashed the bout with Kay to be fast and very clever. Young Shugruge of New York knocked out her Mercedes Coy in fifteen rounds at St. Louis. It was fifth up to the last round when Shugruge put over the knockout punch. EMSLIE IS THE DEAN OF NATIONAL LEAGUE UMPIRES. Stohy of the Famous Arbitrator is Tole Kahn, known Him for a long Time. (By R. W. Kent.) Few men are better known in baseball circles than Robert D. Emile, the manager of the Boston Red Sox, Mr. Emile is generally perfectly cool and calm in the performance of his duties, and pretty nearly always knows when to be on the defensive is seldom the butt of the merless joke writer's wrath, or the spite of the disgruntled crank, or the small boy, who is the game for a long number of years, having been a successful pitcher prior to his becoming an umpire. He was born in 1861, and he played in the Interstate Association in 1883, until the club disbanded in August of that year, when he finished the season with the Boston Red Sox, the bar of the American Association, which was a major league. He remained with Baltimore throughout the season of 1883, and remained with Toronto, in the National Association. In 1887 he joined the Savannah Red Sox, and he returned from the game as player and returned to his Canada home. He was offered a position as an assistant manager of the same year, and assumed his duties July 1 of that year, and remained with that organization throughout that season, as well as those of 1888 and 1888. This was the start of a work unquite complete. In 1899 he was with the American Association, and in 1891 he was with the Western League. In August 1899 he was with the National League, where he has been ever since, and, commencing consecutive years working as an executive year that organization. His career as an umpire has been a prize and one. He is quick at making his decisions. His long service in the major league is the best evidence of his dedication to duties in honest and fearless manner. He once said of his career: "I stood a great deal from the players some years back, when we had the single umpire system and the back was back from the executive office, because I did not care to deprive any of them of any part of their salary, but patience ceased to be a virtue at times, for some of them would take advantage of my confidence and because of the poor must be the one been obliged to protect myself, as well as the best interests of the game. Kicking in the days I speak of was 'rowdy intelligence'. Today to kick and get away with it is called an art. Can not you remember a few years back and the poor, a umpire that had been celebrated at Tottenham Jack O'Conner, Jess Burkett, "Chippy" McGarr, John McGraw, Jack Doyle, Bill Joyce, Yankee Robinson, Jack Glasscock, Joe Kelly, Harry Raymond, Monk's Cline, Wilbert Robinson and others? There are some big players you can see. It is simple to say, "I am the field to be held up to the ridicule of the crowd, and they lose no opportunity of showing this. They will kick over everything with no conceivable idea of what they are kicking about only by having no time to do. They must do something to cover all other shortcomings. Some years ago a writer had the following to say about umpires: “A minor league umpire has everything to contend with. He has to deal with those young bucks who are out for the first time, and when he is out for the second to every decision of the umpire. He has the old-timers who can not play ball fast enough to keep warm, and try to hold their jobs by showing up as umpires. He can put them in the game, and he can put them out of the games, but a very small percentage of fines go in minor leagues, and to put a man out of the game, he costs a lot of his job.” Mr. Emilee worked with a lot of men since beginning his career as a coach, but she was the last year president of the National League and an umpire that never umpired a game of ball on Sunday at the National League in his days; Tim Hurst, the pugnacious, and one of the most popular men in the league, was the Quade, one of the most fearless umpires, now dead; John Gaffney, known as "King" Gaffney, was the only non-retired and treasurer of the National League; Jim Johnstone, whom McGraw locked out of the golf course, was the only man to three in-chief of the Federal League. In 1900 there was but one big league and the umpire was Tommy Connolly, Hank O'Day, Tim Hurst and Ed Swartwood, just fourteen years later. Connolly is with the American League. Hank O'Day is manager of the Chicago Nationals, while the other In closing one can not blame audiences for getting after umpires and making unpleasant for them a unjustified prejudice against the umpire. Then there is sympathy for the player. So the umpire is not to the lifting of the players a howl goes up against that official, for by the unwritten lay, say, that the umpire is not to the lifting of the players his intentions, while the umpire necessarily must be in the wrong; else why is he an umpire? I have seen it in the movies, he worked up audiences almost to a frenzy against umpires, when in reality he had no sense of senseless kicking, he worked up audiences much to much abuse to he handed the umpire by the spectators. A deaf and dumb player had reached third, one man was out, a man was out, a man's place to score from third after the catch. Instead of facing the play, he got into the press, I suppose, that his eyes were O. K." Waiting for a signal from the third base coach to start, the coach's praise in seeing that the dummy did not start, reached ever and pushed him toward home, which he reached safely. The coach touched him, the coach touched him at third base. The audience did not understand the new rule. The umpire was absolutely ED SMITH WILL REFEREE. Chicago Boxing Critic to Handle Dill Ion-Levinsky Go Here May 29. Ed Smith, the well-known Chicago bone critic, wrote that the ring is the tip of the phallus. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER IM A BEAR WHEN IT COMES TO BASEBALL BELIEVE ME OLD TOP DID YOU GET ME STEVE? AY FRIEND WHAT ARE YOU DOING? A.B.C. BASEBALL TEAM AW!

Mr. Smith will be in the city to witness the Speedway and the Promoter Rock White said last night that he had positively accepted an offer to referee the game. With Mr. Smith in the ring, boxing patrons are assured a competent referee. The Chicagan has handled the game undoubtedly is the best known prize ring裁判 the middle west. He was unfortunate enough to be in the ring to count out the winners. With Arthur Peky in Calgary, Alberta, just about a year ago. It was on May 24, 1913, that McCarty went down in a crash apparently unhurt, never to rise again. In matching Dillon with Levinsky the promoters made a commendable move. True, Dillon has met Levinsky and has been a great crowd should be on hand at Federal Park when the show is staged. SPRUDELS GO DOWN BEFORE THE A. B. C.'s. More than $500 fans attended the downfall of the West Baden Sprudels Sunday at the Western Park, Bow. B. C's winless battle, battle #8, to 7. The crowd was so great that ground rules were necessary, and B. C's winless field line, in center field and far down the right field line. The A. B. C's tried hard to land the game to the second when B. Taylor crossed the plate. The Sprudels put another over in the second. Their last run came in the eighth frame. Bow. C's tried hard to land the second when B. Taylor connected with one of Williams's slants for a home run over the left field screen. Bow. C's tried hard to land the second in the sixth and seventh innings, three runs in each frame putting the game in the seventh when the A. B. C's took the lead. The fielding of both clubs was excellent, and B. Taylor carrying off the honors for the local club, while Kimbro and ones starred for the boys from the South Side. B. Taylor carrying off the honors for the stick, ten hits being good for nineteen bases. "Iron Man" Johnson pitched good ball after the boys from the South Side. The A. B. C's and Sprudels are battling for the colored championship of state, a wide interest is being taken up. The same clubs will play again today at the local park. The second game of the city series between the two clubs will be played next Sunday. CJs will be played next Sunday. Score: C. S's be played next Sunday.

May 16— Two young gentlemen "of color, Bailan and Hilleman," brought thirtieth Association's eleventh annual track and field meet here today to the Washington high school. They barely nosed out the sturdy lads from Crawfordsville, whose negro entrant, Eagleson, brought the wearers of the blue and white uniforms to the event of the day when he won the break jump and put his team just one-half a point behind Washington. BLACKBURN, THE PUGILIST, A PRESSURE HOW THE REGION BOXING Jack Blackburn's life story is nothing if not extraordinary. The great coach of the Indianapolis school, to the comeback step, is the son of a minister. He once had charge of a Sunday school, and for three years wielded a razor in his brother's barber shop. Let him tell his story—the adventure and which sent him to jail and him out again: "Being in Versailles, Ky., in 1883, I started to school at the age of 5 and left it at 13. When 16, after three years in the barber business and in the police department, I started to learn boxing. My first bout was at Indianapolis, where I boxed a few times. I got getting in to see the wind-up between Jack Barry of Chicago and Kid Robins. My first real fight was a k. o. for me and I stopped Kid Miller of Minnesota in two rounds for $2.50. I started to boxing. I was the best boys around Indianapolis. Going from there to Terre Haute, I boxed 10 rounds. Then I came east, stopping at Pittsburgh, and had two goes there ended with knockouts in my favor. "April, 1903, I landed in Philadelphia and put myself under the management of Luther McCarty. I be forcibly out Luther McCarty. I be forcibly out five of the best in Philly, and, not be forcibly out six of the best, made a tour of the music halls of England, meeting all comers. In 1904 I returned to Philly. I was matched to Philly. I was matched to Holly and beat them both very easily. The first heavy man I undertook whom I defeated in six sessions. Then I boxed Joe Gans in Baltimore for the pounds at the pounds ringside. Gans received the decision, which was very unpopular. "My right with Gans made all the things I had to start boxing bigger men. The right to start boxing bigger men. The right to 12 pounds in Boston. It was called a call. I then boxed Langford at Marlboro, Mass. a 15-round draw, and I then boxed 15 rounds at Delperville, Pa, which was the hardest fight of my career. I was the referee awarded me the decision. "Following that I met all comers defeated Jim Barry in ten rounds and stopped Fred Bradley in two. The cry was raised that I could not make the first return with the new self with George Memsic and beat him at 133 ringside. Inside of ten days I met Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, then a midwelleight, and whipped him in six rounds. Then I took John Wille. Chicago, he was right, and he was used 200, and trounced him, in six rounds." A syndicate from New York agreed at this time to take me under contract to chase Bat Nelson around the world for a championship fight. Just when I was in the last few minutes was made with Jack O'Brien for the middleweight title. George Pope with whom I got in trouble, and I were very good friends. We got into a heated argument over a trifling affair. We both lost our heads and were committed to be the first to be suffered and there is no one more sorry than I that it ever occurred not only for my own sake, but for my friend and his family. I spent four years and eight months in Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia and while there, under the guardianship of Warden McKenty, was allowed human privileges with the other prisoners, which enabled me to take more or less outdoor himself. "I credit my condition today to the way I was treated," McKenzie. He has kind word and a kind heart for all poor urfortunate who oversteer the line and come under McKenzie's care, physically as good as the day I entered the outside world. "Jack Dougherty, my present manager, three times took my case before he boarded cardons and time he boarded cardons getting parole on account of my good behavior, warden. I expect to have my case before the pardon board again this fall and I hope to get full release from my pardon." "I boxed Tommy Howell, one of the best welterweights, a few weeks ago, but I have not been without exerting myself. I could have stopped him easily had I tried, but not because of condition or courage after my long absence carefully. "And boat—with Bettling Gibbons—will be on soon. They have tried to secure Jack Dillon, Mike Gibbons and several other fellows for me." —From the Pittsburgh Gazette. BAT LEVINSKY TO FIGHT JACK DILLON INSTEAD OF CHRISTIE Promoters Announce Change in Program at Fed Park May 29. A change has been made in the fight card that is to be given at Federal Hockey League games, preceding the five-hundred-mile race at the speedway. The main bout, according to the promoters, will be between the two teams, with the light heavyweight, and Jack Dillon, the local champion and despoiler of hopes. Dillon was originally intended to have Gus Christie go on with Dillon, the latter agreeing to train down to 158 pounds by 3 o'clock on the day of the game. He was under 158 pounds. The change in the card, according to the promoters, was made because Levinsky is a much better player than he is apt to give the Hooster slugger a better battle. He was never started for Levinsky in the first place, said one of the promoters, and fell through because a rival promoter was community card. Dan Morgan, manager of Levinsky, would not agree to any terms until he ascertained the conditions required for the match, which he matched for a return battle. Dillon will fight at eight. about 165 pounds and Levinsky perhaps will weigh ten to fifteen pounds more. The other numbers on the card were not changed. Little Chick Hayles will join Joe McMahan St. Chair, of Cleveland, and Joe McMahan will hook up with Chip Murphy. MARION GIANTS BEAT TEAM AT WARREN, IND.
