Brief Review of His Life and Activities — Matrilineal in Kentucky, Metropolitan (Melville Perdue, 1219 W. Chestnut St., Louisville, KY 75038,电话 50383) LOUISVILLE, KY., (Special). Thursday night, May 28th, marked the passing of Louisville's oldest physician in the person of Dr. Ellis Saunier, who was the end and Louisville, both white and colored, was loathe to give up such a valuable citizen. Few homes indeed were there in our city at that some time, but the number of physicians ministered to its inmates during the hours of affliction. Dr. Porter had a celebrated reputation among members of the community, and was there that envied his skill and wondered just how he handled cases that had baffled his skill. The old warriors that have long held up successfully the banner of the colored people over the country are passing and their places are so far away that those are coiling on and are yet come. Shall they be equal to the emergency? Dr. Porter ranked high among the people throughout the country. Many people are there today that lament his passing as much as though he was one of theirs. May also be said of him that he was a friend to the young doctor. His advice and experience was always at their disposal. It was not an uncommon calling with the doctor while he was calling and he seemed to be rather a father than a friend to them. Though the Lord God through what he did was not know and would not attempt to es- INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1914 For thirty-five years he practiced in our city and by his ethical practice, for the benefit of his church, he won for himself many friends.

On Thursday night, May 11, with D. Carrie Clarke, were quite married in business, Dr. W. H. Sheppard, Rev. Sheppard officiating. The marriage came as quite a surprise to the many friends.

On the 15th of this year, the place of the meeting has not been as yet announced, the young ladies will have an oratorical contest. Quite a number of the students of the successful speakers have been solicited by Mr. Lee L. Brown from such per- formers as Mr. Miss Pamela H.

Its properties are so remarkable that not only does it grow hair, but also proves the quality of creating hair.

JUNE 5, 1914 MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Frenchmen met us and we are theirs. Hear ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murray at the Y. M. C. A. June 8th. The gardens are at their best. If you have not had your this-year's in stallment of greens, now's the time. Greens have their days like every thing else. They tide the season through but they toughen up and get buggy. Eat 'eat' now. Julius Rosenwald, the well known Jewish philanthropist, was in the city this week. He visited the colored Y. M. C. A., the institution he gave $25,000. He was introduced by Geo. L. Knox, the president of the organization, who called attention to the man, who, notwithstanding his nationality, has such a splendid charitable disposition—endowing Christian institutions. Mr. Rosenwald replied in a happy mood, saying that it pleased him greatly to be of so much service to the Negro race. Ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murray of South Carolina, will be in this city June 8th in connection with his work of Afro-American Redemption. Mr. Murray is dean of the Progressive Psychological Department of Princeton University at Terre Haute. He has the same end in view as others who are working for the Negroes' uplift. But he will go about it in a different way, in accordance with his department at school. He has a special message to deliver. It will be to hear Mr. Murray who is one of the living Negroes honored with seats in the National Legislature. He will make his first appearance at the Y. M. C. A. the evening of June 8th. Since there's no tendency toward inter-marriage, why should there be anti-inter-marriage laws A citizen is a citizen and as such has no right to suffer because of proscriptive measures. The government at Washington is in answer to the demands of the people, and not for the crystalization of personal or special views. The truest function of men sworn to uphold the laws is to uphold them. They should be such men regardless of the injunction. They should glory in being nothing less than men. There is such a thing as nobility of manners, and men go to do small things. It is when men scorn to take a single advantage of other men, even when it is to their peculiar, personal advantage to do so. Why not such men? Railroad days, June 7 and 8.—President Wilson's failure to appoint a Negro as Minister to Hayt is one of the things that can not be readily explained. We are not strong for offices if there's a disposition to keep the general race free of those attacks which cheapen it. However, the Haytian ministership, like the Liberian ministership, was an opportunity, having in mind the racial situation. Two ministers, both white men, have been appointed, the first one having resigned. The fact that a white man again succeeds looks as if there is more method in it than there is. The Thomas case, a pear to draw race lines in making a demand of the kind. But it is only apparently so. If Negroes were sent to European or other countries Hayt would not be thought of in this way. The appointment of a white man to Hayt is unfair under the circumstances. Remind the railroad officials of their duty towards their Negro patrons. Special cars are so by the laws in some localities. This condition is endured, but there is no reason for poor accommodations, especially when the fare is the same. Really it is taking something from patrons in the instance. We are not in the habit of thinking of it this way, yet it is plain enough that the railroad companies are actually indebted to their Negro patrons. We are only asking that this indebtedness be discharged. It strikes us that the railroad companies would be glad enough to comply with the laws, since their race problem has been solved. There is no contention to enter other races than those provided for the race. That these be acquired is what is asked. He is a moral as well as a legal compulsion, and yet the companies have "cheerfully" evaded their plain duty. It is to be hoped that the appeals to the companies today and to morrow, June 7 and 8, will result in the good expected. No part of Dr. Booker T. Washington's long and brilliant career shines with greater splendor or carries with it a greater practical benefit to the Negro people than his present aggressive agitation for better accommodations for the race on railroads and in railroad stations. His able manhood and bravery in the magazine has aroused the railroads to a sense of the injustices suffered by our people who must travel from place to place in the South, as their frank expressions on the subject have shown. Now, Dr. Washington proposes a system by which the citizens of each locality may take up the matter directly with the railroad officials and bring it to a face-to-face issue. No community should fail to act promptly in naming committees—two or three fearless men, who know how to make the most effective argument in the fewest times. The time to act is now, to get ready for the first Sunday in June, when the results are to be garnered for the final movement on June 8. Let "Railroad Days"—June 7 and 8—be memorable days in the life of the oppressed American Negro. SOMETHING ON OFFICE HOLDING Every office held by Negroes when this Democratic administration took charge is now filled by white men save that of a judgeship held by Judge Terrell in the District of Columbia. Such a course clearly proves the prohumiliating and anti-recognition policy of the Democratic party toward the Negro race. And yet the Southern race now favors the white lie in him as his best friend. Strange! Strange!—The Western Star of Houston and Dallas, Tex. Yes, it is strange enough, and then again it is not strange at all. It is all right to hold the Democratic party to what it promised, and also to the laws and spirit of our institution, in that we are citizens. That we are citizens, consequently being as others it is strange that that citizenship should be handicapped. But there is another side. Theoretically, we are intrenched in the laws, but in the practice it is far different. It is useless to speak of the cause. We all know. And knowing this, together with our knowledge of the nearly oneness of feeling against us, anything that happens would not be very strange. We are also for the offices, good gifts and so forth. We cannot see how they can be withheld all together from any particular people who are citizens if respectability of the administration is to maintain. Under the circumstances we may feel ourselves fortunate, we Negroes, in knowing that our citizenship is not meanaced at Washington by the Democratic party. It will be remembered that men went to Congress, so far as their policies were concerned, for the express purpose of defeating the Negro race of its constitutional rights. That nothing has happened along this line, even as to effort, is gratifying. Not that we were fearful of such a happening, but because we know that such efforts cheapen the race. A nation that is assailed by a government, even the minority portion, loses standing everywhere. Perhaps there is no enlightened government of this day, Russia included, which make special laws for its citizens based on nationality. To have had that thing occur, even a tolerable effort, would have been an incalculable calamity. Incalculable calamity appears an overwrought expression. But it is not the case. When the very government assaults your citizenship it is a very solemn notification that it is undesirable. Those who wear the burden of the day, those impaled on the cross, as it were, struggling for the ultimate good for the race, know what it means to hear the anathema marantha of a government. Anarchy tends to set up in the heart of every man outlawed. What else is to be expected? No country can mistreat its citizens and at the same time retain their love. If they do not love, what then? Russia knows very well indeed what the answer is. That the wise man of the country are not responsible for the girdle of hate that has encircled the globe, just as the wise and considerate men of this country would not be. But what's that in face of the fact? We are not of the opinion that the rampant, foolish men are going to drag the wise men of this country down. We do not think they are going to permit the things that make for ruction and ruin. President Wilson, whatever his proclivities, Southern or Northern, and his immediate kind, in whatsoever party, will not let come to pass, even in the effort, those insane measures meant to protect the institution means that our citizenship is secure as it concerns the general government. Feeling this security it is not for us to feel deeply concerned about the offices. We have already said that the present, or any administration should value the Negroes if they must be viewed as such. As much as possible should be done for them as may be consistent with public opinion. This means the offices and whatever else. The few offices that fall to us, however, are not to be put in the balances against our general rights. We merely content for the offices in the spirit of self-preservation, thinking that if there is a growing tendency to take them away it will be an easy matter to "confiscate" everything else. Beyond this we attach no particular value to office holding, everything else being equal or as nearly so as conditions warrant.

He came back Monday and pitched a shut-out game, allowing but not winning, as well pull for the Giants when Foster is in the box, for he is going to win. Young "Cy Young" will be here on Sunday with the Benton Harbor team. He is remembered from last year as the tall, lanky pitcher who was so jolly with the fans. One of the chief rosters for the Giants is the press box. He never misses a day and knows every play made by Mr. Foster since the veteran has been playing. Miss Helen Young was the guest of the press box Monday. "Andy" is another of the old faithful American Giant fans. He can't see why it is so many pull against the home team. Order your box seats now.

(Special) The fast all-round club, the Athletics, are the most successful team, which have defeated every club in that league except the Swifts, and that defeat was regarded merely as an accident, the chambers of the team weakened by absence from the city. The team has a pendible players. But a glance at the club Blanda Sox are hitting the stride upward a mealy half game separating them and the leaders. Miller's gung is about to get together and play against the present fast clip to stand on top. If the A. M. E's can hold the champions down Saturday, next week's game will be the most successful. We have not lost faith in the ability and strong probability of the second division. The lowly A. M. E's and Nationals will yet have to be reckoned with. The schedule is one-third gone. Saturday the clubs face each other time and time and time for the next five will greatly determine the chances of them to. The second division clubs are going to play the clubs above them and get into the race. Clubs. W. L. L. per cent Athletics _____ 1 _____ 1 _____ .750 Black Sex _____ 1 _____ 1 _____ .750 Y. M. C.

"The Little Dark Town Trio" Scores Brilliantly—Ester · Bijou, Frank Hendon and the Mills Sisters Round Out Strong Bill. The Little Dark Town Trio, composed of Dainty Theresa Burroughs Gallie Gaston and Frank Jackson, is scoring an artistic triumph with the Booker Washington Theater audiences in a rehearsal with a repertoire of rich humor, catchy songs and good dancing, Jack- Frank Hendon in a new musical novelty act is classy though humorous. He "Old Kentucky Home" on musical coins. He opens playing a banjo-mandolin and holds a bow in a back bag, which is well ingested. He pleases the crowds and is heartily encored. Bier Bijou is a little live wire, vikier kind, inserting with just enough to take the house by storm. She is graceful and unassuming, has a sweet kind, inserted with just enough to take the house by storm. She is a finished actress and ranks the best female performers on the stage.

Legge, manager of Bohn Theater, in 1914, James & Johnson opened at the Bohn Theater as a vauduille team and proved themselves away above the average as harmony singers, ballad and coon shouters. At L. W. James was not only a ballad soloist, but an artist of dramatic art, writer and producer. They also found a way to make the difference of taking the leading role in Mr. Johnson productions. James & Johnson found a run down house. Immediately they took the stage the manager, Mr. Bloisy, and the difference of the box office. Mr. James was the following shows: "Emogene, the Mind Reader," drama; "Fun in the Kitchen," comedy; "Devon, The Peace Breaker," comedy; "Devon, The Peace Breaker," comedy; "Love True and Innocent," drama.

James & Stovall met first in New Orleans, when they both joined Mr. John McCormack, who was originally organized in Philadelphia, October 1912. These two teams were very valuable to the Rucker stock company, and they both became favorites for a meeting again in the city of Savannah, Ga, doing vaudelle and tsock in opposition.

Sandifer Dno. The Lincoln Opened Monday night with an extraordinarily large attendance. Managers have continued to produce feature after feature, and he forced business and this week's bill to show a chimpax of perfection in entertainment. He has the fortune of prosperity that tell they've got a show: John Austin, doorman (all of which he did in the working hard) and Tom Gales, stage manager (busy), and there was something really stirring when they presented Perrin & Crosby. This act is claimed by Cincinnati natives because Goldie Crosby began her life here and the welcome feeling cannot be described. When she met Sid and Goldie, but that is not often so as a consequence we all took her new, but always so entertaining. Sid again as Shing, "Chop Suey Suc," his own composition and, of course, his clothesline changing from Ching to Silly Kid, Goldie's "Good World After All" and other assistance given Sid and one great big treat from one grand aunt. The Stock String Beans, as the Dandy colored gentleman, who was leading astray a less wise gentleman of color (doing so in the neat as in the comedy, Cliff Ross, as the "Gambling King," after fourteen weeks, funnier than ever.

Mr. Carl can sing and talk. His voice is powerful. She can sing ragtime. The act is supported by the comedian, Silas Jones, whose great talent is capturing the great. With better costume this is a winner. They are a hit here. "Three Nights in Italy." This story of the adventures of a pair of colored tourists in Italy is interestingly funny. From Erickson Johnny Lee, from Merle of Lee & Lee (Pearl) an admirable performer, who does a dressy straight with credit to Joe B. whose name is Jones as a policeman in blackface, Kinkie Doo and Birdy Birdle, who sang a new song here, "Savannah Ga."

Chicago Weekly Review By Sylvester Russell. CHORAL STUDY CLUB SINGS THE CRUSADERS AT INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. CHICAGO, Ill.—The Crusaders was a welcomed visitor in oratio at Institutional church last Monday evening and aired, especially in the choruses. While Gade, its composer, for beauty of tone and embellishments that were light and airy, especially in the choruses. While seeing part third of the book, I had heard enough to indorse its merits. Of the solistos, Mrs. Lilla D. Jackson, a mezzo soprano, and a star florist and artistic point of view. Even though her lower register was weak and she lacked dramatic expression in the closing number of the Singing," she was vocalely equal to the occasion and was laden with applause and tenor, everything that heart could desire in magnetic charm. Although his style and presence was appealing and nature had robbed him of sonicity, his ascending tones were falseto-like in sweetness. Frank B. Waring was a pianist and voice, which has some color, was true in tone than richness. Geo. E. Duncan, Jr., conducted nicely and Miss Pelagie C. Blair was competent and nearly perfect. His chorus was the most perfect I ever heard and a credit to the club. But in his syncopated and unsteady, Gade's music reminds us of Verdi's opera "Aida," a visionary romance in beauty. Lucretia-Mitchell at the Grand Theater. When Lucretia Mitchell sang the music of the sextette from *Judaea*, a trio of young musicians and took notice, for she never sang better, even in the days of musical more popular than ever. The white acts were the Rossow Midgets, fisticuffed Texas Tommy dancers, and *Lora*'s number calculator. The second half was a good act, with Texas Tommy dancers, and *Lora*'s a good act, which introduced Theresa Burroughs, Galle Gaston and Frank Jackson, a very talented black face. The second half was a very clever Jap. Rice & Cady, Dutch comedians, Bounding Gordons and the bandman was an artist in blackface. The regular tangeroes were well attended. Muriel Ringgold Returns to the New Monogram. That Muriel Ringgold is the funniest little girl of her race was proven by the reception accorded to her on her return in a new act one of English musicals, *The Magic Mirror*, which cast a magic spell. Others were Spencer Finley, as clever as ever; the Hill Sisters, in songs and dances, and the La Maro's, in slack wire comedy. Will McCormack, who looked some in the orchestra. The violinist left on short notice. By the time that managers get through cutting off musicians and musicians get through leaves, the musicians get through leaves State street. The regular tango and buck danced well. Buster & Rockpile nt the Monograms. There is always an assurance of fun when Buster & Rockpile come on the scene to make merry, and they are always good. Katryn Berry & Lorraine, whose act has improved, and they are clever. Katryn Berry, who still needs lessons in vocal culture and pronunciation, sang better than on former occasions, and George Stemmons was good in parody songs and dancing. The tango and buck dances gave good pleasure. Ray Revees, the new usher, Sunday school boy and ball player, makes the stage announcements. **STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS.** Miller & Lyles have arrived in town looking splendid from their sonjourn in the interior. DeKoren Thompson, the composer, who is now representing the LeRoy Music Company of Chicago, has just returned from New York, where he was cordially received by music dealers and people of his own race.

George's Donabegay took place at the University on the 29th. The program, which was light, had reading by Betolia Fortson and while her efforts were classy, there were too many density. Others on the program were Rena Blunt, a parlor voice soprano, and Ida Quintanilla, an indulgent, but her voice was sweet, otherwise ineffective. Master Horace Jordan, a violinist pupil of Prof. W. L. W. Crawford, played the program for it was discovered that the boy can produce a tone, which speaks to the audience. Salle Walker was a pianist and Garfield's orchestra played for the dance. At the Pekin theater last week the great Eastern Musical Comedy vaudeville company, with ten people giving a show in the house. The company was headed by Henry Drake and Ethel Walker, his wife and daughter, engagement. The company which comes from South, Introduced by H. S. Dudley, whose name should have been omitted, presented a unique characteristic revival of the show, which appealed to a class from the south that kept the gallery full durance, and the North that kept Walter, which is the name of the play, is ancient to the North, but would have been a good tenor play had any merit, it would be to praise the more classy features which were in the hands of the stars. Henry Drake, a good tenor singer who acts with a dash of vigor in spite of crudeness and has the making of what we term a soprano, is indeed a dream of beauty with a sweet soprano which showed cultivation and has a strong voice. The company is playing "Wife Wanted," which will be reviewed next week with a full roster of the people. The States theater had the largest attendance on State street last Saturday evening, and it was criticized as a picture of colored folk stealing chickens. The picture had already been seen at the Phoenix and New York theaters, but furthermore it was a colored picture that had been O. K. d in the censor's office down town. In going beyond the publicity, the director Abbott makes a big mistake that is costly to his assets as a newspaper TUBA PLAYER WANTED!

C.'s of Indianapolis, started out well on Decoration Day, for a series of three games with the Americas. The day was not eventful and the Giants won, but was the gala day for Indianapolis, and were it not for two runs made by Rube Foster, the Giants would have been the winner, but they were heavy batter for the A. B. C. The lollors were also strong. Monday settled the dispute, when Foster pitched 0 to 0 and beat the A. B. C.'s 2 to 0, when Moore were more than their favor. Sunday, C.'s are strong and their next battle with the Giants will be interesting. The Grace team did not play on Decoration Day. In a garden of flowers, Where sun-shadows creep, Sits my love mum dissertation; Mid the shade of thick bowers In the hides carp and peep. In an insects love resectin, For there verniparous germs transform And lovers all hug close and warm. —Sylvester Russell. Owsley and Gallillard, Managers. The Crown Garden is giving pictures of the price, good shows continue as the run course some are better, some acts, but course some are better, the standard has been kept up pretty well the week is a good one. Washington, the Thompson & Cross, Indian and Negro; & Lewis, are also good. Mme. Vena is of answering, rapid dating questions. NOEL F. WASHINGTON Whistler, Imitator of Birds Bird enthusiasts would be very much pleased to hear Mr. Washington whistle, many of whom we have in attendance, to his face in a nice way, but his whistling is in a different place. Perhaps there are no birds which he cannot limitate, but he makes a specialty of imitating the canary, the red crab, the sparrow, the robin, also the chicken. In all of these he is good to hear. The imitations are not only faithful, but the most part beautiful. His "King of Crab-Marsh" is a formance, worthy of any audience. This may be said or nis his whole program. He was nicely received. Washington whistled at times getting work owing to his color. At times he finds it necessary to be a Cuban or anything else if he expects the appearance and correct as to his costume. LEWIS AND LEWIS Comedian and Straight. Lewis & Lewis have worked out a series of taking stunts for their act. They have taken stunts winding up with a baby scene over which they make considerable fun. The talk over the baby was enjoyed, being something special. Miss Lewis is of good voice, especially for the songs she features. She did the "Memphis Blues" in good style. Her singing is a Wig, in a very taking way. It gives him a chance to work some very fun-filled on the wig wearers. The songs show on as well as the other parts of the act. They do a bit of eccentric buck and wheeze while dancing. Both are particularly clever. The act is good and pleasing all through. Miss Lewis especially a pleasing little work, and the good clean voices and happy expressions. They give a satisfactory show. MME. VENA Mental Telepathy. Madame Vena is another one of those unaccountable wonders seen now when she is presented by Downing. She must also assist her in her work of mind reading. The Madame has baffled every effort at solving her "problem," or how she does things. Mr. Dowing puts the questions to her as rapidly as he can get them out. She answers promptly. Mental telepathy is what the Madame calls her work. No one can dissect not offered. If there is any explanation she holds the key. The act will be considered wonderful by any man who may see it, regardless of how it does not offer. This day that there is such a thing as 5 thought transference, mental telepathy and manipulation, madness has something of the 'kin' in him. abounds with comedy, as well as the sense of humor. Thompson & Cross do some classy work as Indian and Negro. Both have their own. Their comedy is taking all through. TWELVE SOLDIERS SENT TO PRISON. ROUTE. Prof. P. G.

NOTES FROM 101 RANCH. MIAMI, FLORIDA. Lyric Theatre Closing Stock for Summer—Good Closing Show. The Lyric Theatre Stock Co. of Miami, Fla. closed their season for the summer with one of the most untitled, "In Zulu Land," Each member of the company acquitted them selfs with credit and the show was a success, and facts many people in the large audience said that it was the best show ever seen here. Bert and Annie St. Clare, as the Queen, both looked and acted their parts to perfection. Bert and Carrie Houze, as the singer, kept the audience howling with laughter at Houze's funny antes. The numbers were especially good, "Sunay Afric," sung by Will Pennell, and "Cannibal Love," by Candy Bindle, Henry J. Kendall, and Eugene Hot Hof. Monkey Town was finally done by James Reed, and "Cirk Chabungao," song by Annie St. Clare, the winner of the competition. Candy Holden and Lila Jina were two of the cutest little Zulu imagined. Special scenery and beauty of the production. Incidental music by Gene Landrum, pianist, and "Short" Lewis, drummer, was greatly en This show closes this pretty little house until the hot season is almost fully fall. The manager, Mr. C. C. Maultsby, will be glad to hear from the expects to have a good many new features when the house reopens in October pictures all summer. SHEESLEY & HOFFMAN'S MIN STRELS Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high.

Streety, a young comedian, who is fast coming to the front, starts the ball rolling when he arrives. Mrs. Coles with "International Rag," to be followed by Madam Roy Nichols, America's popular prima donna, singing "The Curse of An Aching Heart," Others in the first episode of the show, star. Mr. Clarence Powell, closes with "Ballin' the Jack." Our ollo opens with little Cuba Austin, the champion back in Tennessee. He joins the juggling and hoop rolling. The "Alirship Trio" is a scream, introducing singing, dance, and novelty acts receive their share of a plause. The entire company is eagerly longing for the Fourth of July, when the school of acting will try out their new acts. Mr. Dan White (Dare Devil Dan) will perform upon the stack wire. John McCarthy will play unicycle act. Ruth Prince will play unicycle solos. In one of the numbers she will be assisted by a slide trombone quartet.

The show, band and door receipts are also getting along fine. Markus Veal has been the Fritz. He made the proud orchestra leader, was made the proud possessor of a fine violin from his father, the violin back as far as 1723. Among those who have performed upon it is the famous "Ole Boll," whose name is written on the inside, 1854 he became the violin back has a thoroughbred pedigree and we consider Mr. Veal a very fortunate man. His tenor singer, Mr. Clifford Brooks, received a telegram of his father's death and he has the heartfelt sympathy of the show in his sad misfortune. Our grand old man, Happy Howe, is doing well every night with his "Honey, Oh!" German opens the first part with cream, W. R. Earl closes the first part with three and four encores, leaving the audience happy. Walter Lee sends regards to the four brothers Earl Moppin is doing fine with his hoops and sends regards to all his friends. Robt (Sippy) Miller and Wm.

Mr. Armstrong punished Emmett Berger about seven times for butting heads. Verdum and Duck Collins had their annual toot last week. In conclusion, the bunch send best wishes and prosperity to the greatest colored man in the world. THE BROADWAY JAZZ CLUB BURTON AND ROBINSON.

The musical director is York, presenting their original musical comedy success, "The Mayor of Newton." C. Lucky Roberts, the composer of "Junkin' and Junkin'," is musical director of the show. Mr. Tutt Whitney would do well to place popular songs in the show toward a big success with the audience, who always appreciate the popular songs. Tom Brown is improving very rapidly from injuries recently sustained at the Union Square Theatre, New York, while working with J. Rosamond Johnson. "Billie" Jones, the singing comedian, is scoring nightly with the song hits "When I Come Back" and "I Had a Gal, I Had Mary" and "Moochin' Along at Ulmer Park."

(By Billy Lewis.) Indianapolis was in all its glory May 19 when strangers poured into the "earth" from the four corners of it, "it was better than that. Thinking of Indianapolis as the front strangers poured in from every conceivable angle to be at the fourth annual automobile meet. The fourth most kind, of course, the fullest succession on the behavior of elements. Everything conspired for the good, on the bad, in the amphibian, on the snow, in the people said in the newspapers, in the costs of the new Mercuries, in the wingless gods, which, like life of strve, as it became the girths of Olympus, the 500 miles waded under it, daily life" like an "ugly day." an addition to the cash awards of $10,000 given by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, accessory prizes and trophies valued at $25,000, which were offered by various automobile concerns, to be distributed among the win- . . . Time and time again it has been said in this column that it looked as if France was to play in palm deliberately from America. This tendency has been within in the last three years. Before that in the fictive circles it had only moved to Vey. He was a merry merry. He was the idol of Paris, the champ heavyweight of Europe. This was not such a great accomplishment of his sport in England, the home of the fight game. The other European countries did not think, much of the pugilistic business in England, the home of this direction. Our Billy McClain became a boxing master in Brussels as he stroked. It wasn't much but it was enough to get McClain to Australia with the idol of France—McVey. That was when Jack Johnson was in sporting matters. It has a carpenter's sense of humor. It has Jack Johnson, the very head and front of the sporting game. To these are added the considerable list of automobile victors; not to speak of the thousands of dollars they have won. It is truly a great day for France. Kid McCoy now comes forward saying that Frenchmen are better than Americans. It may be that McCoy is milder to use the drift of things. It means, at least, that the Frenchmen are coming up. They have been considered more intimate and intimate than the precludes possibility of the great things of heroic tendency. But let us hear Mr McCoy: "The French ladies are making rapid progress, and they are learning the game from the bottom up. In any gymnasium or roadhouse you visit you see them all practicing with both hands. Most of our boxers can have the left foot and the left hand extended. The French boys during the course of a boat will stand for a time with right hand and right foot extended. They are learning the game with the left foot and the left hand extended. By this method they are learning a defense that buffles the average. As much as Mr. McCoy thinks of the French he doesn't concede them the almost possibility, which is not consistent with his "text." Hear him I don't think the French nation will burn out any world's champions in the next few years, as there are many of them become title holders in the bantam, feather and lightweight mats. The reason that they'll never win is that they are their natural lack of size. None of them has sufficient height and weight to reach the top rung in the division which Jack Johnson now holds the belt. I don't think Georges Carpentier will ever become a world's champion, because he is not a fighter in the world. He has the sweetest kind of a swelled head. You hardly expect anything different, but Georges Carpentier has a huge fortune and receives valuable presents, such as automobiles, diaries, and so forth, from admirers. The French are not proverbially little men. The French are not generally referred to as liers, but the Japanese best answer to that is And such presents, marking the zeal an enthusiastic people. They withhold the gifts from the touch of bringing uplause to the nation. France is an sport. Sober minded, serious men may be the most important new "French" movement. It may mean a class of men which McCoy says the government not got. An officer of the government pointed to look after the physical end of the nation's business. The nation's physical future will be watched in a manner a notice has been served to the world by the Frenchman and the service serves it in more ways than one. The government looked to America for whatever things aggressive, startling, dazzling, and we held the front with a clip that made we turned to France for our bonnets, dressing us, France is being advertised greatly. The automobile advertised it. The automobile advertised it. The chances are that some wear it. Worth will continue to pattern us so forth, and at the same time some son will not forget to car the child to America. It pays to advertise. The bear is adorned to an old chestnut; the duck is commanded for eggs. France will be helped commercially by the advertisement. he one best catch known to base ball is right to prove an interesting story of some thinks he has a record story of some thinks he has whatever hapens that may this time. We are all that way more or less we like to think the great things we have seen are greater than great things we have seen are greater than those subjects of a few seasons or something, greatest play I ever saw," he thoroughly convinced Every fellow who played the slimax. I read those fellows as an ex as a man goes after his favorite player.

A surmount that is the left and centerfield men have stumbled up this embankment, coming up in hand. None has jumped over the enclosure through it, as the following tells about. I give it in the author's own words: "There died the day old Lewis Cameron of college football and baseball player of baseball his heart set on becoming a civil engineer. To help him through his studies, he became a pitcher and a clever outfielder as well. Still in the dawn of his baseball career, and—so say the managers who knew Cameron gave success had he kept on. Cameron gave success and embarked on his chosen profession. He had an uphill climb. Cameron is best remembered in the South Side of Chicago, probably never equaled, probably never to be done again. He was the only man who went clear through a fence and came inside a park. That record will probably "This stunning deed took place at Birmingham, before that city had its present concrete park and modern tennis court, the park was up, and composed of ancient lumber, Cameron, playing right on days he wasn't pitching, started after a fly ball, but almost a sure home run on that bandbox park. Never stopping, never hearing the warning cries of crowd and players, Cameron crushed at top speed through it like a bullet. He tore a hole big enough to drive through, and panicked either seether, Uninjured, even a broken hip, stumbled free—and caught the ball as he shook loose from the debris of the wall. So much of the fence was down that the catch was clearly visible to the catcher and no chance to dispute the putout. Two-Mile Event Requires Different Style than Marathon Race. Long-distance running events can be divided into three classes—the shorter event and ending with the five-mile run; middle-distance events, ranging from the cross-country runs of six or seven miles; the marathon runs, which are generally 10 to 12 miles long. The events from the two to the fifteen-mile demand running style as well as endurance. There is little difference in the style of the middle-distance and long-distance runs, although latter there is not so much stress laid upon longer runs, but longer long-distance runners have little need for finishing in the sprints either. He should be as careful with his arm action as with his legs, and he should ease of action, but also being careful not to carry the arms across the body. Must Be Different. The principal thing about training for the long distance events is regularity of practice and habits. For the long distance events, three times a week is enough to train. As has been emphasized before in these articles the boy should always be careful not to work too hard About three times a week is enough in preparation for a race. The first two or three times out long walks are enough work to take. Then start alternate walking and running, doing exercise in preparation of the event in mind for two weeks. After this, training should begin in earnest. On two days of the week run conscious distance and run quite consistently distance, depending on how you feel. On the third day go nearly up to, or over, the full distance of the event, if it is not over fifteen miles. Run for about a month he should begin to weigh himself before and after practicing. If the weight lost on the last day of training has not been gained by the athlete, he will be a good athlete will know that he is either working too hard or has gone "stale." In Case of Staleness. In either case the work should be lightened for a few days. The symptoms of "staleness" are dark rings on the skin, weaken the weight, and a feeling like a severe attack of spring fever. If the athlete has gone stales, training should be broken for at least a week—thin not too thick. The athlete should not went. After this start in with easy work again before beginning hard running, the long-distance runner, and, in fact, all runners, are very apt to get sore ankles, sore calves and hard, sore knots in the thighs. The best remedy is to use a warm compress or to sweat in a steam room. The same remedy can be used for sprains, but rest is the only sure cure for sprains. The athlete can rest in a sprain or a torn muscle in the leg. This goes also for an injury common to runners who do their work indoors or on banked turns called "shin splints." Marathon Is Different. The athlete should eat a moderate meal, consisting of roast beef, baked potatoes and a small glass of milk, for two hours before a race. Attendant's Work. Before an athlete enters a marathon he ought to know his capabilities and run only by them. The attendant should do more than give him the information he generally to get rid of the slime in his mouth and sprinkle him with water to refresh him. he should be no advice of the other of the distance between him and the other runners, and occasionally telling him the number of miles he will cover as to the number of miles to go will dampen the ardor of any runner. And too much advice as to how to run the race by attendants will only worry the athlete not run than good. The care of the feet is an important thing in long-distance running, as dislunar marathoners as any other cause. While training the athlete should bath the feet in tannic acid at intervals. This will toughen the feet. Just before a race Joe Forshaw should wash the feet in strained, heated mutton tallow. The socks are then allowed to dry. They are then warmed in water, then heat soon meets the tallow and acts as lubricant from then on. Forshaw says he never has to wash the feet when he took these precautions. "SNOWY" BAKER PRAISES AMER JANS_FOR TREATMENT. R. L. (Snow) Baker, the Australian sporting promoter, has concluded his visit to the States and is now en route to his home state, Australia, of feeling for everything American. His trip to America, and also to England and France, as regards the boxing game, was used to touch with the game from all angles. He has gained a world of information, which will stand him in good stead later on when he returns to Europe. Mr. Baker returned to the States last week from Europe, where he had been for several weeks with his wife. Mrs. Baker returned home with a illness of their THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER daughter, while Snowy came this way to finish up some business with Lincoln the scholar in other ways before leaving for San Francisco to catch the boat Sonoma and expressed himself in the kindest terms toward the Yankees to offer him before leaving to me, said Mr. Baker, "and I hope to make it over again next year, if possible." I have been treated splendidly by all the sportsmen, and wish you would take this means of thanking them for me. The have been liberal-minded in trying to make sure that you mingle with them. I only hope I will have the chance to reciprocate some time in Australia. I did not come ex-actually to Australia, but to get in touch with the situation and at teh same time have a pleasure trip. Of course, I did not want to cure good men. There are some of the stars here who are exorbitant in their demands, but I see that the promoters are not too trouble in signing them up for matches. "This no-decision plan is all wrong," it says the cover letter to much leeway and to keep the public in line, clined to loaf in a contest, for it is the public that always pays the freight, no matter whether it is a poor fight or the boxes that no alternative to give them best efforts, unless they want to be put out of business. I believe that the demand for practice in the gate game much needs to be fought much to hurt the game. It will react on them later on, for the public will not stand for the high prices, knowing that they will be forced to force them up. You can say that I have not signed one boxer to go to Australia from the States, except those who have already gone, but I hope to have some friends to help me in a wonderful way, but you cannot always depend upon good houses week in and week out, the same as in Sydney. Once in a while you have a big gate, but not average up so well as in Australia. SEATTLE MAN TAUGHT GUNBOAT SMITH TO BOX. "Toots" Was Chum of Heavyweight Champion for Ten Years—Tells of Smith's Early Life When in the Navy. (By Royal Brougham.) Drafted to Pennsylvania. "A few months later we were both drafted to the U. S. S. Pennsylvania, at Brooklyn's Smith and the ship, in the long afternoons and evenings, Smith took his first lessons with the gloves and the socks, and fight the game "Roots" was in the fight game prominently, being connected with Sandy, Ferguson and in order to win, and with Jack Twin Sullivan). "He was a most willing scholar, and in the call for Lights out, Smith and I would perch on the upper deck and talk of the ring. In these talks the call of his ambition—to be a great fighter. Cleaned Them All. "Soon Smith began putting 'em on with other tars who had the fight ever, after going a couple of rounds with Smith, for I do not recall that he lost a fight. Gunboat not only lost a fight, but also won on navy battles. On navy battles it was the custom to pull off many kinds of contests of strength for the sailors, and on Hongkong, when the boy took every prize offered, except the one for the greased pole, which he lost only to a tall fellow who could reach the top of the pole. His First Flight. "Smith's first outside fight was a ten-round draw with a black fighter who was a great fighter and I thought he did well for his first contest. After that fight he decided to win, and he went on world. He did not say he would try to be. He said he would be. He left him, went on winning fights, and usually via the knockout route. "A few weeks ago Smith came to School to play. He left him, went on winning fights, and usually via the knockout route. "A few weeks ago Smith came to School to play. He left him, went on winning fights, and usually via the knockout route. We talked over old times, and Gunther after his name on all the billboards. We talked over old times, and Gunther after his name on all the billboards. We talked over old times, and Gunther after his name on all the billboards. Why He Reached Top. "Toots," he smiled, "remember a few years ago, when I went out about champion today because I said I would try to be, but because I said I would be." Yesterday afternoon Mr. Tulte showed a telegram just received from Carpenter, who was on his next month for London, where he was assured of a match with Carpenter. He added that he would have won a second match for his Blackburn bout on the 20th. "And just put me down," remarked him into his pocket, "as saying that Gunboat Smith will beat Blackburn, Carpenter and any other man who would win." Even so, even that he will win by a knockout. I saw him lay out those tough tars on the back, and it was nothing but a kick and take it from me, he's got a kick in his right hand." DILLON GET A SHADE THE RETTFR OF LEVINSKY Bearcat's Aggressiveness His Best Asset—Hayley Sinclair Bout Battling Levinsky, and—Sure, Battling. Just like a crawfish, he battles, and he punches when he's pursued too hard for comfort. This Levinsky, who is a heavyweight, is a heavyweight or any other weight in New York, and Jack Dillon, Hoover bear-cat, pride of Indiana's fast fans, and, cat crowd at least, middleweight and light heavyweight champion of the world, exhibited ten unsatisfactory wins, and the conclu- sion it was evident that Dillon's showing was less bad of the two, and that that man was better sky. Neither had anything to bruge about hen all was said and done. Almost he would not hand Dillon's credit for his willingness and Levinski's credit for his wisdom. All Set for a Killing. Everything was set for a killing. The scene was was Greenland, the crowd at Dillon on hand, and on the wooden chairs, Dillon thought the setting proper, and waded in without any semblance of caution, as the exhibitioned Levinsky, with his hands on Levinsky, he apparently kneed the weight of the punches he had to enclose in, throwing rights and left promiscuously in Levinsky's general direction. Frequently, when Levinsky was in danger, he waded in, throwing rights and left promiscuously in Levinsky's general direction. Frequently, when Levinsky was in danger, he failed to reach Dillon's map with his left jab, these promiscuous rights and leftanded, when they landed on Levinsky and then his body bowed away. As often they landed, however, they missed, especially because the Levinsky is one who boxed his All the time he's taking care of him-sa-surely capitalizing on anxiety to slaughter him. For eight rounds he prevents Dillon from doing anything more damaging than pilling his skin, and then he goes into the eighth, when Dillon has never gone out there is such a thing as a wound. There is such a thing as a wound, and swap wallops. Levinsky gets it into the beak, but de does try. Three Bounds of Merit. The eighth, ninth and tenth were more like real boxing and less like a game of tennis. He had to his willingness and regained some of his ring sense he must have lost when he was going off his balance in his defense. He was trying to deterring Levinsky earlier in the pursuit, the last three rounds were even. Had not Dillon shown his anxiety to mix all his skills, he would have been able to avoid mixing it would have been a draw. If Dillon had boxed as he was, he would have managed to manhandle his opponent, he would won by a mile.—Indianapolis News. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES. Ad Wolgast, Cadillac wild cat, has accepted terms with Tom McCarty to meet Joe Rivers in a twenty-round battleship leave for the coast June 20. His hand is O. K. again, and in fine shape to begin training. A recent report from Philadelphia had this to say of Young Lowery: the team's first victory in Indianapolis, and Eddie Dorssey fought it in Indianapolis. Lowery hurt his right hand in the fourth round, and had to battle the team in the second round. He was entitled to a draw even at that. Patsy Conberry knocked out Johnny Camps in one round. The A. B. Cs met their first defeat last Saturday in Chicago. Rube's team put it on the Indianapolis boys to the tune of 7 to 1. The A. B. Cs got back at him on Sunday, June 7 to 2. ROCHESTER, N. Y. May 26.—Sam Watkins, of Nashville, in the fourth round of a ten-round match here. DENVER. May 30—Johnny Kibane, the featherweight champion of the world, knocked out Benny Chavez here last night after just five minutes of play. He and two-thirds Chavez did not land and single clean blow. It was to have been five-earn round contest. PARIS. May 30—Francois Ouimet, the American youth who defeated Earl Topping for the French amateur golf championship, has finished his tour. He has a great impression, but here he made amends for his poor playing in the British isles. The Frenchmen have accorded him great honors and declare one of the best golfers in the world. LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP BEATEN. GOES DOWN BEFORE CHARLES WHITE. Chicago Lightweight Shuta Champion's Sound Laying in Short Boot MILWAUKEE, Wis—Charles White of Chicago decisively defeated Willie Bouchie of California in a ten round bout that outlasted the Westerner in almost all of the rounds. But out was vicious and bloody at all times, with Ritchie bleeding profusely from face and nose. His eyes were nearly closed at the end and he was a sorry-looking champion long before the bout closed. White bleed so, but was far the fresher at the end. White took the lead in the first round and lead the California hanging on and Ritchie realizing that the Chicago slowed up, however, and Ritchie came back and took the lead in second round. The second round was the seventh and tenth periods, which were even. The battle was one of the hardest ever, Ritchie realizing he was against a hard boy early in the fight and did most of the boring in, but was always met with hard left jabs on. White fought by far the cleaner battle. His judgment of distance was the better and his lefts to the face and the body were too much for the champion. Ritchie used a left swing repeated forced to clutch. Twice Retiree Harry Stout was forced to wrench the de- formed hands from the ropes while in ditch. LIPTON'S CHALLENGER FOR AMERICAN BASEBALL UNCHNECED IN ENGLAND GOSPORT. England—Shamrock IV, the challenger for the America's cup, was launched and named by the Coun- sellor. The new challenger took the water on the stroke of noon. There was no hitch in the arrangements and she shed their goggles of Shaftesbury, who had done similar service for Shamrock III, christened Sir Thomas Lipton's champion. The goggles were gaily decorated with American and British flags with which was intermingled the yellow flag with the big green sham- board of the Royal Ulster Tach Club while everybody present also wore a shamrock. The British battleships in the harbor were the queen's birthday as Shamrock IV was launched and most of the inhabitants of the town thought the firing was a salute to the tach or the guest. She now had the hundred guests of Sir Thomas Lipton obtained a glimpse of the yach, as the shed in which she has been hidden since her keel was The company consisted chiefly of Sir Thomas Lipton's personal Friends, but a few yachting experts were present, all of whom appeared to be greedy, and they had boat and expressed the opinion that she had a better chance than any of her predecessors, although the lateness of her launching would, it was pointed out, advantage American yachts have had a longer time in which to tune up.

Low Saloon Only Other Place Open to Negroes - People Too Extravagant Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, who already has given $200,000 toward the college-colored men, and who will probably be called on for several hundred thousand dollars more during the next year to give him more money to the city last Monday, asked a meeting of the Jewish Federation of Indianapolis with Mr. Rosenwald is Julian W. Mack judge of the United States circuit court in Chicago, another of the leaders of the Indianapolis benefited to the extent of $25,000 from Mr. Rosenwald's benefactions, as he gave that sum toward the erection of the colored Y. M. C. A. Explains Cause of Offer. come so deeply interested in the colored people, Mr. Rosenwald said: "there are people who are colored men who do except to the vicious saloon. All of the leading theaters are closed against them, the leading halls are closed against them and so the audience might go. Even the high-class saloons will not admit the colored man, who is the low place left open, him was the low place left open, him colored people were not having a chance and that if places were provided, they would show that they could elevate themselves. "So I made a proposition that if any city would raise $75,000 for a colored man, I would make him a fund of $100,000. Thus twelve cities have accepted the offer. Not all have completed their work. Some have not. Some are at work. No doubt many more will accept the offer, which has a year and a half yet to run. The colored Y. M. C. A. is a very popular place. It is filled all the time and is doing a great job. Richard is president of the Sears-Roebuck Company of Chicago. When he was asked what he thought about business conditions and prospects, he said, "Improvement in business, I believe, depends entirely on the crops. If you have business conditions and prospects, I can see no other prospect of improvement. I can not see where it will come from. So I have been spending too much money and living too fast. What is true of individuals is also true of nations of the world. We have spent millions of individuals. If a nation spends more money than it can afford it will suffer the consequences, just like an individual. People themselves are to blame for the present business depression." JOSEPH HAYES WINS GOLD MEDAL IN ORATORICAL CONTEST. medals. Oratory filled the spacious "gym" of the Y. M. C. A., which was turned into an auditorium Friday night of last week.
