KNOX, PUBLISHER AND MANAGING EDITOR. ELWOOD C. KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1914. Green corn is in; and so are tomatoes that don't need a treatment with skin success. This is the life! It is quite the natural thing for the Colonel to stand by his own adminis- tration. He will be no more able at this time to see why Columbia should be paid $25,000,000 than he could when he was President. With twenty-nine persons killed and about eight hundred wounded owing to the Fourth of July celebrations, we are said to have made some advancement. That is, we killed some less and mutilated some less than we did last year. Now that Carranza and Villa, the two Mexican revolutionist chiefs, have gotten together they will proceed to continue the struggle by holding out from Huerta, meaning no peace in sight. The boys might get their heads together. The triumvirate, even if selfish, could parcel out a lot of good things. Get together! The Recordership fight at Washington is growing in interest. Editor Ross of Detroit, Mich., is making a noise like a candidate. It is also said that an Indianapolis man is making a gum-shoe campaign. The white brother is none the less vigilant. He is after everything in sight, including the Recordership and the Haytian ministership when there is vacancy. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs will be held at Wilberforce University, Xenia, Ohio, August 4, 5, and 7. Mrs. Booker T. Washington is president of the association and she is doing all in her power to make the meeting successful. The speakers will be persons of prominence, including Mary Church Terrell and Prof. W. S. Scarborough. The Progressive party is merely whistling to keep up its courage. Logically, it has no show for a long life. It takes some mighty principles to born a party that will stick. Some men change to a new party because dissatisfied with the old party; not because of principles, but because of the poor success in coming into office, and such like. That class will change again at the earliest opportunity. The Progressive party has no reason to live; nor has it any hopes. If we would avoid segregation let us get rid of the things that suggest it. We will be able to make a conscientious, determined fight when conditions are right. Many of us secretly oppose the very thing that the white people oppose, but have not the nerve to come out with it. Many of us oppose poorly kept homes and boisterous streets. We want to see our people fully worthy of the best struggle for them. When making pleas and stands for the race we should be buoyed up by the thought that there's nothing to conceal, nothing for which to blush. Some of us have grown to believe that we have nothing to do but sit around and wait for our rights to come to us. It is our business to get as agreeable as possible, so that we may fit in with the day, and thus reduce the thought of denying them. Segregation is being most bitterly fought in Louisville, Ky., by the colored people. Some weeks ago the boards of councilmen and aldermen passed a measure to the end that the city be districted, or that there be separate sections, or streets for the Negroes and the white people. This measure stung the pride of the proud Kentucky people, who learned their pride of their "patrons," the white people. They feel greatly humiliated to know that after these years the white people have felt the necessity to strike them such a cruel blow. Every effort is now being made to have the law revoked. Public meetings are being held, and other steps have been taken to bring about the program. We are no more ferent in our views to what we were some time ago when we said that such movements should be as double edged swords. They should cut two ways. There is nothing in civil affairs that justifies the corralling of citizens. They do that in South Africa, but simply to keep the savage natives back—back to the bush. But there is an excuse for segregation, and it is quite the thing to talk to it. We are not improving any too rapidly in how not to be segregated. Five thousand Filipinos in mass meeting at Manila voted in the affirmative for resolutions asking for independence. The resolutions were cabled to President Wilson July 6. The outcome of the move is anxiously awaited. A note from Washington was as follows: "The administration is by no means sanguine of getting legislation from the congress guaranteeing independence. Persons who have canvassed the senate on the subject are convinced that it is not ready to enact such legislation. One Republican senator said today that he would senate this action is now moving on should ever reach the senate it would provoke at least two years' discussion, if insisted on. The President has said to persons who have recently discussed the subject with him that he is merely moving to carry out the promise made by the Democratic platform two years ago, which, speaking for the Democratic party, said: 'We favor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to recognize the independence of the Philippine islands as soon as possible.' He also lished, such independence to be guaranteed by us until neutralization of the islands can be secured by treaty with other pews.' THE PRESIDENT ON THE RIGHTS OF MEN. President Wilson's 4th of July speech at Philadelphia was a rather solid piece of business. He had very little to do with flourishes and embellishments. Really he was, severely plain and outspoken, as if he felt the "terrible need." Through it all ran a spirit of indifference to criticism, and honesty of convictions, showing clearly what manner of man the President is. And therein lies our salvation, that of the Negro race; that of any race. He said: "I am willing to get anything for an American that money can buy except the rights of other men. I will not help any man buy a power he should not exercise over his fellow-being." Mr. Wilson's honesty of convictions would not be the salvation spoken of if they were not anchored in "civil righteousness." Here then, is the salvation; when the majesty of our country is of similar disposition and determination—when even a considerable portion of the best thought is of similar disposition and determination. Mr. Wilson had the Mexican situation in mind when he uttered the above speech. And we are glad enough of the occasion that gave him his opportunity. We, the Negroes, may take it, that he will be mindful of us, permitting none of those studied insults, with which we are threatened, to come to pass. We take it, that it was his unseen hand that clarified that befogged atmosphere of a few months ago, at the capital, when a part of the citizens were forced to take orders from other citizens as to how they should come and go. In thinking of that remarkable speech we feel to extract a saving efficacy especially when he says that he is not willing to buy the rights of men. And had he been standing amid a congress of the world's nation, at that utterance, it would be up as one man and shouted salvo of the Man is coming up. He is coming in for greater consideration ever since he declared himself an equal factor in the human family, a co-ordinate creation of the higher order of created things. The President said: "We set up this nation, and we propose to set it up on the rights of man. We did not name any differences between one race and another; we did not set up any barriers against any particular race or people, but opened our gates to the world, and said that all men who wish to be free can come to us, and they will be welcome. We said this independence is not merely for us—a selfish thing for our own private use—but for everybody to whom we can find the means of extending." America is great today because of the very spirit. In the most recent days these men have found it necessary to abridge the Declaration of Independence theory a bit, or they have thought to have found the necessity Now and then the nation has side stepped its great first cause, but esentially it has clung to the faith. The President said that the Declaration of Independence was not a thing for this day; that it had served its purpose and so forth. We rather hoped that he would reach the conclusion that the thing was a something for this day even unto the very last day. This particularly so as it concerns us—the Negroes—we are growing to fit it. It was a Banquo's ghost; it would not down, and for the better. When Thomas Jefferson wrote "That all men are created equal" no man dare contest it if he valued his own liberty. Consequently the thing stood as those guides of Moses—a pillow of clouds by day, a pillow of fire by night, until the day of realization which is now on and at its very height. The President in conclusion, said in part: "No man could do the work he has to do in Washington if he allows himself to feel lonely. He has to make himself feel he is part of the people of the United States, and then he can not feel lonely. And my dream is this, that as the years go on and the world knows more and more of America, it also will bring out this foundation of youth and renewal, that it will also turn to America for those moral inspirations that lie at the base of human freedom, that it will never fear America unless it finds itself engaged in some form of government, that it might of humanity; that America will come to that day when all shall know she puts human rights above all other rights and that her flag is the flag, not only of America, but the flag of humanity." To all intents he serves a warning to the nation, saying plainly enough that harm might be expected when the nation engaged in enterprises inconsistent with humanity. No one knows this better than the President. He has seen the gritting teeth of nations when reviewing our latest transactions in the world's affairs. We have been not unlike the dancers beaten up by the police when the dancer" sweets oblivious to angry frowns. It will require the vigilance of such men, who see things and know things. DALLAS.

McCarthy, Macintosh "Get Together Breakfast." "Get That Smacker." Bubbling with the "milk of human kindness." Prof. I. Garland Penn, sec. of the Bureau, put through a motion to organize a club known as the Terrell Harmony Club, which will serve as the host for the colored participants in the varied activities of Hamilton county. An original feature of the breakfast was the presentation of some notable character in public life or giving him a designation fitted to him by personal attributes or historic connection. The unique list was as "The Mediator," Judge Robert H. Terrell; "Huerta," W. P. Dabney; "Dr. W. L. Anderson," Pal O'Malice; W. L. Anderson; "John Drew," T. J. M. Higgins; "John Drew," T. J. M.

The menu was delightful and Gen. Johnson's prince of good fellows, proved to be an ideal host. The affair was easily the finest of its kind ever, and it was a vital effect on the future well-being of the colored leaders of Hamilton county and the state of Ohio. The General outdid himself as toastmaster 2,000 at Emery Auditorium. The evening before the happy Jones breakfast, Judge Terrell spoke to 2,000 people at the spacious Emery Auditorium, where he eloquently introduced by Editor W. P.

AMERICAN GIANTS WIN FIRST THREE GAMES AGAINST CUBAN STARS. 15,000 People Pass Through the Gates Saturday and Sunday—"Rube" Foster's Team Shows Up the Islanders and in the Second Series of the Season—Foster, Wade, Gillard, Jenkins and Booker are the Batteries for the Home Team—Barker is Named the Second Chase—New York Stars Billed for Sunday's Game with Four Others to Follow—Ladies Admitted Free. (By Carey B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill., July 7.—(Special.) About fifteen thousand people passed through American park, July 4, and 5. The wager game of ball against the famous Cuban Stars. Manager Malini was confident that he would win at least take the first two games, but he was fooled by Mr. Foster's Giants at the big game, a big streak. Every team hotly contested. On the Fourth the enthusiasm was so great that yells and applause were heard for many squares away, and from the big streak. Every team in the team seemed determined to do his best to win the series, and from all the big streaks in the lead by Thursday, Wade, Foster, Jenkins and Gillard have been responsible, with the assistance of Booker for the games in favor of Giants. The fight games in favor of a lucky number with the Giants; for on Saturday, July 4, the Giants won 5 to 4, and July 6 the Giants won 5 to 2. There were a number of thrills in the opening series. These thrills were followed by errors that extended from one end of the park to the other. The game was won in the seventh inning when a hit by Barry Sanders followed by error errors by the Cuban.

The Cuban Star fans were greatly fooled on Sunday when the home team duplicated its performance of the opening game of the series with the Cuban Stars, winning by a score of 5 to 4.

Lloyd, Gans and Jenkins and Bowe for the Giants, and Pareda and Figarola for the Cubans. The score was 11-10 in the Cubans and 10-11 in the innings, when the ball made a bounce over Lloyd's head and the game tied. Three men on base with another score won the game. The home boys had a game sewed up until the eighth innings. While the Chicago fans can boast of the come back of Ed Walsh, so can we hope for the return of the Poster. In the four games he has pitched on the home grounds he has allowed three hits in the first three games and has allowed the other two to slip he had courage to take himself out and face the music of a lot of fans who are always "rooting" for the other pitcher, who weighs well as someone to dead his position but to the man of the other pitcher but to the man of the pitcher's box. During the series Mr. Foster has generalized his team like a master. **Barber the Second Chase.** In Barber we have the making of a season Hat Chase. He hasives a wifi throw to the pitcher, who has a canon ball. On buns and pop flys he gives an exact imitation of his friend Chase. No one else has a canon ball in the grand stand around first at Cosimsky's park. Barber continues to stand high in the batting percentage. Duncan Improving. Duncan is improving wonderfully over last season. He is covering more territory and has more ginger. He goes after a ball with more clarity and, although he has a passion to wait for one or two strikes to be called, he is one of the safest hitters on the field. What would "Rube" and fans do without Monroe? For sensational playing he would have to play with fans more amusement than any man on the team and plays with a vengeance. Monroe plays consistent ball and is popular with the fans. He is hitting good this season. **Capt. Hill Never Misses.** Capt. Petit Hill seldom strikes out and when in center you can close your eyes when a ball comes his way and say the man hit. He is hitting in the batting percentage with Lloyd a point below. Wade Wins His Game. Wade won his game on Saturday, July 4th, although the Cubans got nine hits on him while the Glants only got five off Pareda. Wade was given excellent support. **New York Stars Coming Sunday.** The New York Stars a fast playing agile team. Gotham state will arrive in the city Saturday night for a series with the Stars.

Before mentioning anything else, let me say a word of praise for Marion. She is a wonderful singer, and had courage enough, in the face of tremendous opposition, to hire a negro operator for his movies. That, in this case, was a great opportunity, a crime, and the theater was boycotted by a union, who would not allow a colored operator to join them, if he so wanted. She was a great people, black and white, with are Mr. Brooks. Keep it up, Marion, a few more like you and the race would be strengthened by your vaudeville: Scott, & Simmons, about the best singing team ever heard here, have already become favorites. She is a great female star, strengthened by the addition of Little Billy Young. Of course Cliff Ross is still funny, and George Taylor is simply the best female star of the company, is everybody's favorite.

The rest of the bill included George & Mac, eccentric comedians, George & Mac, eccentric comedians, quartet, but with a weak soprano, was artistically fine. Scanlon & Press, good tenor, with big favorites and LeRoy Mora on comedy bars, completed the list. The last half of last week had among their numbers the Sexxet from Lucia, arranged for two, and the other which made hits. Bayone Whipple and Walter Huston in "Spooks" won great brothers who were funny comedians. The Brothers were funny comedians. The Brothers were fine on musical instruments and The Rajahs in telepathy, captivated. Dave Henry Lane, Tobe Brown and Smith Henry Lane, Tobe Brown and Allies Harris were worthy of mention. Buster & Rockpile at the New Monogram—Gant & Perkins Return. Women sometimes do in the comedy line what Rockpile came on with one of their favorite acts. Mabel Gant and Alberta Perkins looked chic as ever, gave a good sister a gift, and played the role of Thomas did a fair single in blackface and Estha Bigeou replaced an act that was cancelled. Allen & Marshall, who was cancelled, made a big hit last week, specially Arthur Allen's travesty playing on the violin. Brown & Pinkey at the Monogram— The Moores and Peats Shing. When Rosa Brown & Pinkey, late of Pinkey & Walker, had given a comedy finish, their act stopped the show. the graceful dancing especially of Mimi Moore also a feature Tim & Hester Moore, also a feature its sketches, and Ed Pattie and Ella Hayes, likewise were big favorites and Curley Ross, a white boy expert dancer, and the big comparison, attracted. The show changes twice a week and tango continues AT THE PICTURE HOUSES The States—This house is lined up the Battle of the Sexes' drew big. The Lincoln—"Woman of Mystery" drew immensely. **bohoxi** "On the Warpath" had the usual name. The **Fountainin** "A Girl of the Cafes" won the best cards here. The **Star** "At the Atit of Patriotism" filled the house. The Alame—"Keystone Comedy" was a laugh producer. The Washington...*The Drug Terror.* **STAGE NOTES AND STROLL NEWS.** Chas. Young and Emerson, the composer-pianist, is at Al Russell's cafe where cabaret now holds sway. Sam H. M. Davis, of Davis & Walker, denies that he played ball owing to the fact that his arm was in a limb blood poison had set in on his hand from a purple scratch, but he is fast improving. J. Arthur Conley of Conley & Blas, did not wake up on the opening night last week at the Monogram and missed a good press notice. But they certainly put it over through the week. Mrs. M. McConico, of Little Rock, has arrived in the city to visit friends and guest of Mrs. Alexander, her sister, Al and Geo. Keith are her brothers.

Irvin Miller and Kid Brown's comedy opened at Orange, Ill, for three days last week and met with favor under the management of Wm. H. Smith. Bowens & Emerson, who were booked for the last half at the Grand, did not attend. It has been been sorry the Bowens stated that Schiller Emerson who is a pianist-composer, forsook his partner after the agreement was made. Charles Gilliam Apologizes to Russell. Charles Gilliam, the trap drummer, who assaulted Sylvester Russell, offered an apology in person last Monday, but he was sorry for what he had done. The apology was immediately accepted by Mr. Bowens, who is the moral in so much as Gilliam is the only man who had ever apologized. Mr. Bowens is the sole support of his mother, and his course has been highly commended. BROOKLYN (N. Y.) ALL-STARS. Engage the A. B. C.'s—A Five-game Series Played. Saturday, July 4. The Brooklyn aggregation of ball tossers blew in last week and opened up an engagement with the local team, the B.C. Giants, who are top-notch lookers, sturdy, stocky, robust. Big Smith, the manager, and the team's coach, fact his avidoupois is somewhat in his way when travelling the bases. But he's like the famous old sexton when he plays the ball, and they them. The bunch, too, has that fresh, youthful appearance, as if they eat good and sleep well or nights. The B.A.C. Giants are hardened, seasoned, prepared to go up against anything in spite of the raiser medium size. They are a favor of big men. When they are good, they are good sure enough. They are generally the best of the Cuban Giants, however, represent the other side, smaller men, and who show up best in the field. The B.A.C. C's a great crowd, was present, who were chock full of enthusiasm. The New Yorkers were not without friends. They were applauded, all in ooh. They were applauded, after the local fellows to the tune of 7 to 6. Brooklyn.

Owing to the clean cut victory of the New Yorkers Sunday, an unusual weekday day after the contest, the team had to see the outcome of the third game in the contest. It was the A. B. C.'s win, so roughly handled the day before. Johnson for the A. B. C.'s, was in fine shape up and took notice. The Brooklynies are good hitters; they got in some nice shots, and they were keen, "Old 45" and the rest of the team "scoured" their territory in a most effectual way. The visitors were the best players in C.'s playing superior ball.

He was in the dumps July 5th. **Mohawks of New York Next Sunday.** The visitors caught on to Steel Arm John right away, quick. Sapho didn't get a look in the pitcher's box during the series. Meade, the Brooklyn short stop, is a peach. No better, however, than Puggle the local team. They play much alike. Even one would attract old Rube Foster's attention—that would be a compliment. On Saturday occurred one of the most exciting games of the season. Both clubs fielded in brilliant manner. Brown for the aces, and Reese and Meade for the All-Star team. Both men on bases Johnson was invincible, fanning eight men. Pannell and S. Williams each clouted out home runs, Williams hit winning game for the local club. In Monday's game Powell came in for price owing to a hard hitting, old 45-year-old himself on Sunday's business. Bath of the Taylor's made a good show at the bat. In Sunday's game Williams, pitcher for home team, got poor support. The whole push was being routed by the visitors, the Taylors, and the flunked. The Taylors, B. and J., went up in the air, and C. I. refused to shout. * Johnson's pitching was the decided feature of Saturday's game. He was cornered—three men on bases, none down. He had to "cut" his way out. He punched the Taylors, and was great. General Johnson, if you please. STAGE NOTES. Riley Roberts, who has conducted the Hoosier Theater so successfully, has leased the Pioneer Theater, form- under the management of Ben Young. Drake's Stock Company is still at the Crown Garden, Indianapolis, making good. This week they presented "A Wife Wanted," a rip-roaring farce that brings to light the story of a woman as clever as they get to be. Drake is holding his own, and then some, as a comedian. Dixon is proving a first rate performer. Both Beboids is still singing and dancing prettily. ROOSEVELT STILL REFUSES TO RUN. Colonel Is Unmoved by Pleas of Workers That He Accept Nomination for Governor of New York. NEW YORK, July $—For two hours today the Progressive leaders of New York state used every argument at their command to induce Colonel Roosevelt to agree that he would accept the nomination for Governor. Roosevelt said that he had nothing to say at this time, and not change his previous statements declining to run. It was understood that the question was still an open one, with the Colonel continuing to stand out against the proposal. HOTEL DALE, CAPE MAY, N. J. TERRE HAUTE, IND. Special to THE FREEMAN.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION Supreme Court Holds That the Right to Holiday Property is Natural, its Law MEMPHIS. Tenn. June 29—The recent decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Justice Lurton, denying the contention that the right of inheritance is a natal right, and interest to colored people not desecrated, the conviction came through a case involving the status of former slaves, but participated because the B. J. decision upholds the argument that B. J. cannot be a colored lawyer, who won out against an array of white lawyers of the highest standing. The litigation lasted for several years. The case has been widely quoted in press, and in many quarters the garbled reports created by wrong impression. The court held itself that the conviction does not prohibit slave husbands nor slave wives from directly inheriting property, and conflict with the orderly inheritance of good Want first class acts of all kinds.

The issue involved a very high law and gives relief to many lawyers and gives relief to many lawyers in all the southern courts since the war. The plaintiffs, Will Jones and others, brothers and sisters of John Jones, an ex-soldier of the Tennessee Mennonite, eating many acres of fine land that had an inheritable interest in the property. They were represented by Banks and W. P. Metcalfe, and W. P. Metcalfe, all distinguished members of the Tennessee bar. The defendant, Marguerite Jones, widow of John Jones, who denied under the Tennessee law that any right of collateral inheritance, was represented by Booth, of Memphis, who had no associate counsel, fighting the case against the plaintiff. The Supreme Court at Washington, W. H. Harrison made the argument for plaintiffs before the high courts of Tennessee, while Mr. Booth appeared for the defendant in all the hearings. Harrison invoked the 14th amendment of the Constitution emphasizing the spirit of that amendment, which prohibits discrimination against any citizen and which was intended to relieve the disabilities of colored people. in a remarkable argument, Mr. Booth coached that the 14th amendment bestowed upon us the right to secede, recently slaves only civil and political rights that the several states alone have the right to define the holdings and rights of the people, and to assert their inheritance. He strongly denied that any of the rights had been practiced against the plaintiffs in the decisions of the Tennessee courts, and that the rights of the people are persons of color, but already Court in a celebrated case Supreme Court, the people had previously held that certain rights and sisters had no inheritance right in property interests. Social conditions in every city would seem, made it increasingly difficult for brothers could establish their identity beyond all dispute. As decided the case does not touch upon the rights of citi- It was left for this celebrated colored lawyer to contribute the most succinct description defining citizenship in the United States, and to appeal to the Supreme Court: "A citizen of Texas cannot invoke the aid of the 14th amendment, nor of the statutes enacted in aid thereof, where his claim is limited to that of a citizen of the United States, and not a citizen of the United States, for such a right is reserved by the (Federal) Constitution. Mr. Booth, widely respected for his great learning in the law, has perhaps larger claims of any colored lawyer in the south. MT. STERLING, KY. The literary Monday night rendered a fine program.

(by Billy Lewis.) Some one asks this question: "Why did Jack release Johnlet him (Moran) kick out the twenties?" The column last was tried to say: "Johnson cared keep himself from being whipped." I succeeded in saying, accusing the printer: "Johnson cared to phim from being whipped." Here is the conclusion of the paragraph as it appended. "Johnson apparently held himself in reverence blocking mostly, and seeming—could have finished him, or otherwise he urged to do," he wrote, otherwise, if Moran really lived up to Johnson during those twenty rounds, and if Johnson was doing his best, then Johnson was doing his best, and then Moran is a good man. Eventually when he owed to his youth, Johnson was hardly that way. Johnson tried to keep him from being "That's all." whipped There are The individual asking the question on to say, "That question has been asked time and time since since Johnson fought Frank Moran in his feet had Black Jack fought true to form. Moran does have to stay 20 rounds against the champion, the opponent of course, we all appre- sure the officers of the Pittsburg lads uphold the hope of a fair race, but there is no race for Moran with the goods. Johnson wins without making much more in the competition, his championship race are easy for him, but his championship race are easy for along like a man, people are good to Johnson. He is content to sit in his big chair and forget all about boxing, but the pro is promised a fight, he have received the sum of 40,000 for his contest with Moran, and is promised a fight. Langford in London, Carpenter, the heavyweight man of France, who referred Moran-Johnson to a fight of Johnson's game, is any of Johnson's game, to big for the job saying, he declined the job saying, the all the other heavyweights do the same thing without telling a he Johnson's game, today. They claim he he backged, getting tired and drink- ing too much wine for his own good, but like Hans Wagner, he goes on . . . This writer does not make a great effort at answering the question he asks. He, however, does not answer the question that is necessary for him, and does not need that is asked in answer as can be given. Looking on the face of the writer, he records the most persons, we meet the writer. Viewing it from Johnson's side it is reasonable to the fact that, along because he was the man, he was. Although in France, a land of greater freedom, he was black; and in France, mainly, were the man, he was. It diplomacy to give Mozart the effect, the appearance of something. He was in his own home who white, intensely interested, were mainly well in his mind, and after the melancholy Dane in whether It were better to jump in at once and process his life, or to toy with him until the latter set possible minute, and thus avoid the cruel assault, and thus avoid the toy by Johnson leniency would be construed as the skill of Moan. This may appear tantamount, but this it may be very, but he means certain that Johnson had such an idea in view, but it is reasonable to think that he had a sense of Paris, France, nor Europe can save him against his color and nationality. He made the most of the time that his wife had been meant that rough stuff, rough talk, so often noted of pugilists, that his wife had general affairs, between the men. However, this was mostly in the past. Johnson seems to have been in the past and courteous, winning as much sport as was possible to him. The Johnson-Moran fight has helped Johnson in the past, and while he was fairly conceded that he was the champion it was grudgingly conceded. He proved so infinitely successful that the most stubborn-hearted have given way to admiration. And it would have been a most perilous situation, but the unconditional currency to Mr. Johnson's greatness. Those who are on to the facts, and who are on to the facts, and who are on to the unconditional currency at the turn in his fortunes. McLuille had something along the above line before the fight. He said Johnson would win and give the following "Moran is too young and inexperienced to cope with the greatest heavy-load of all times. Johnson is a woman of great strength and a great strength of a giant; has a cunning beard and is the greatest defensive man ever entered the ring." "Proof is that he is best of condition, Johnson still has his defense, and his style of milling will show any man who tackles him. He knows any man who do the work and that is where he will outgrow Moran from the start." Those are splendid, whole-souled utterance and as if they were offered with the man who does the work. He makes the other men the work and that is where he will Moran from the start." He permitted Moran from the fighting until he wore himself up. He fought unstimulated, in the last rounds, to Johnson's status. The point was, however, the concession of men to Johnson's status. he think some such element enters into the growing regard for Jack Johnson, who was paid as greatly as a man would pay, and who joyfully was not met great physical strength, then he met the compensation, he he suffered, otherwise, spiritually, and he has been less spiritually he would have shriveled up under the strain. IN SPORTING CIRCLES Boston, July 2—Jack Johnson was appointed a captain today to sign articles in a bateau with Sam Langford in Boston in October. Johnson will appear on阴阴 yesterday, but the bateau offered articles of the 60,000 win, lose or win, for the fight.

New York, July 1 — Joe Jeanneau of Hoboken, three times turtled Battling Jim Johnson three times turtled trick last night when he all but put Johnson out in a ten-round bout here. Johnson three times three pounds heavier than Jeanneau, but the latter was never in danger. Paris, July 1 — There was a unique funeral here of a chauffeur named Clopp, who was killed when his taxi crashed into a subsidence in the Place St. Augustin. Six hundred taxicabs started with the other vehicles of this kind kept falling in line there were 3,000 of them. They followed one another in a close line and broke through. This resulted in the paralyzing of traffic for two hours between the Place de Etolle and Auskirchen. The United Sportman of Pennsylvania will ask of the legislature of the state to allow Sunday fishing and a tax on cats. A note on the felines says: "The house cat is to be put under the ban, accorded to the owners and demanded on the legislature for the enactment of a law compelling the licensing of cats by their owners. The greatest threat to cats today is the house cat, and the sportsmen are determined to see that the game enemies are kept at home and the hunter at will in woods and fields." * * * * The measurements of Johnson and Moran 36 years.

Packy McFarland, it seems, was one of the very few looking to see White White's handler, will be remembered as Packey's manager, when the South Side boy was making the rest of the team White's horses in a race with a Whiskbroom a Colin or a Sysonby, and Packy is a great admirer of the jiddish youth. White's holder throws some interesting light upon Ritchie's great weakness. Ritchie has met Rivers, Cross, Wolgae, and the sluggish type, and Ritchie had just enough skill to beat them at their own game. The sluggish type, and Ritchie had just enough skill to beat them at their own game. His style is hit-and-get-away, and Ritchie does not show up as well against such men. The championship is essentially a long-distance fighter, and he feels he will have an excellent chance of reversing the recent verdict in a long-distance fighter, and he feels the championship—the dream and fondest hope of every lad who drew on a glove, and the championship is difficult to win. And the glory is too sweet to relinquish without a mighty struggle—and it seems that Ritchie is the winner, looking back over the rings that were at once the deathbed and the birthplace of championships, we find that very truly "champions die One of the grandest losing struggles ever witnessed was Bob Dempsey (the "Non-pareil") lost his title to Bob Fitzsimons down the stretch, then winning then and Dempsey was going. Jack was never in it from the start, and as he continued outically out, the gong saving him repeatedly. Thereafter it was pitiful to see him be punished like a punching bag. In the tenth round Fitz begged the game Dempsey to THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER tion of his honors. He stood off that little "chocolate" demon, George George and again, on March 31, 1811, at Troy, N. Y., he was battling tenaciously for 22 rounds before he succumbed. He beat Fitzsimmon up horribly, dropping him for the count of nine before Fitzsimmons sleeps producer in the fourteenth session. Ad Wolgast, Tommy Burns, Fitz and Attal all died hard, but the greatest challenge was Battling Nelson's 11-round stand at Point Richmond, Cal. That was the very hardest. A cold rain made the stand open. And when the end did come it found the durable one still on his feet facing Wolgast, his conqueror, and his opponent, and even though his body was not. Referee Eddie Smith had to lead the battered and delirious old warrior to his corner and make him stop fighting. Battling Nelson was a gambest and with more honor than any other champion which history knows, and with no exceptions. They either die hard or ridiculously easy, and in these latter cases unudoubtedly chance plays great part. Frank Ernie lost in the final game, and Govern went down to defeat in two short innings before Young Corbett. A glance at this list will give an idea of the champions surrey their laurels. Cal McCarthy--Knocked out by Geo Dixon, 22 rounds. Abe Attell—Lost to Johnny Kilbane 20 rounds. Average length of battles, 17 rounds. —From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. WHAT JIM CORBETT HAD TO SAY THE JOHNSON-MORAN FIGHT. "Jack Johnson defeated Frank Moran as about everybody thought he would. He was a great player anywhere near the Johnson who licked Jim Jeffries four years ago. While I have never been blinded as to John Moran as a champion as champion, I really thought that he would put up a better battle against Moran than the stories of the fight in the ring. The champion will end the day he steps in the ring with any heavyweight who can hit hard enough to make him realize he is a great Frank Moran couldn't do that. BRONSON, WHO HAS MADE GOOD IN AUSTRALIA, LIKES THE TATAR "Probably it will surprise you to know that Tommy Burns, the ex-champion, was defeated when his man Pelkey was defeated by Bill Lang Tommy decided that he would take a chance himself. He looks like a champion, but then tackle Bill Lang and Sam McVey, the colored heavyweight. "Gee! but we were surprised to see the cable here that Tommy Burns did in Wille Ritchie in Milwaukee. It created more talk among the fight fans than anything that has happened for many a moon. He scaled when we get back to the States. They should make a great battle, and I stand ready to back him against them. We go for the goes for Champion Wille Ritchie." When it comes to local rivalry between Minnesota, Leach Cross and Tommy Murphy were great rivals in New York for several years, but there has been a lack of factions that there is at present between the friends of Johnny Tillman, Brown, and the Hibbing lightweight champion. Brown is the recognized lightweight champion of Minnesota, and Brown has to take the crown away from him. They have met twice in ten-round battles between them, with the honors favoring Tillman as to science and Brown carrying on the glory to real lightning battles with Chisholm Minnesota. range, have come out with an offer to bet $5,000 on Pal and let the boys play. You can bet on Pal or on they will bet $2,500 on a fifteen-round test between them. That is getting back to the good old days, and it remains to be seen whether the rival team will be matched together in the Northwest and gettier their differences in a private contest, or before a select few. Of course, long ago, the two teams created nowadays, as the law provides for only ten rounds, but as California promoters are not out bidding for contests between outsiders, it is up to the friends of the two men to get them together. THE OMAHA TEAM A CRACK AGGREGATION. My crack aggregation of ballpark, Nebraska, who have been touring the West, the past four weeks, is meeting with wonderful success in crowds and financials. In every town we have played in thus far the local manager after each game and makes the statement of being a park.

City, Ia, the fans came near breaking down the fence in eagerness to gain admission to the grounds. Ia played three days in Webster City, Ia, and the crowd the third day was greater than any previous day. At Storm Lake, Wis., the Giants again broke all records and we were forced to play a game. They return them a return series July 9, 10, 11 we left Chicago June 4, playing as a second half, Ill, June 7; Iowa City, Ia, June 8; Mt.

More international flavor is attached to the Olympian games by announcement that Sweden will have a team of 12 players, including two Swedish took a team to London and almost outscored the Englishmen. They will play in the same events, particularly the shot-put and hammer throw. In both these events Coach Ernest Hierbert has developed several men who can take the measure of the Olympic games and hold their own with the best in the United States. The team which represented Sweden the year was more easily better than Sweden had in the Olympic games the year before. If Hierbert's men have made the team within the last 12 months they will be formidable competitors this year. BATTLING JACK RUSSELL HAS SOMETHING TO SAY. I have read the book "Montgomery, Ala." I will read the book for four years every week and I find it to be the greatest colored paper in the world, said Jack Russell. Jack Johnson, a fighting marvel and if Sojourn is not in his Paris they will find him out, but why not match Harry Wells with him. He is the only colored heavyweight in the world. I have watched Johnson train days after days and I know what fighting is. I have been fighting four years and I have watched Rattle Snake weight boys in the world and have defeated such boys as Dixie Kid. Young Johnson, Willie Mitch Rattle Snake and also met Leo Johnson April 8, 1914. I was caught out of condition and held him all the way, even up until I was in the right hand. It was known by Young Joe Ganes. I know a fighter and know how to fight and all I want to drag Leo Johnson in the ring again. I was at Jack Johnson's training camp, Seal Rock House, Ocean Beach, and I wanted to fight for a fight with Jim Jeffries, the champion of the world. Am well experienced in fighting and challenged Joe Johnson in preference to all other stresses. S. Court Street, Montgomery, Ala. WANT RUBE FOSTER AT PITTSBURGH AT ANY COST. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 28, 1914. Sporting Editor of Freeman, Indianapolis, Ill. Darrell S. Imai is writing to inform you that above named team is the only colored team in Pittsburgh and is playing first class ball, having met and defeated some of the best teams in the country. We have in our lineup several players who have been in fast company with the best players, giving the public first class ball.

I have had several people to write Rube Foster and have answered any answer. In our city we have some prominent business men and have several club members willing to give me financial support to help me in bringing Rube Foster. The only handicap we have here is in the parking park. we must use Exposition Park. Would you try and get us a date or two with Rube team in our city? two with Rube team in our city? What dates are they going to get several of them so I can put it up to the Park people and see what dates they have. Trusting you will help us along. Yours truly, Manager P. C. C. CHRISTY MATHEWSON HAS A GREAT RECORD IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. New York, July 4—Christy Mathewson will, unless the unexpected happens, finish the campaign of 1914, which has seen at least 50 victories over five of the National League clubs. Up to last Sunday McGraw's Master Mechanic overcame the Reds, 53 against the Braves, 50 against the Pirates, 49 against the Phillies, 48 against the Cubs, 48 against the Cubs and 49 against the Cubs. His defeats totalled 163, of which 37 were administered by the Philadelphia 20, by St. Louis, 19 by Boston. 16 by Brooklyn and 15 by Cincinnati. The entire career in the National League, between career and the percentage of .681 and this percentage, it is of note, is higher than that made by the 1909 season, the captured championship honors in the seasional season. Scribes, not having the complete team, Matty at hand, have imagined that the Reds, in length of time against Cincinnati without losing a combat. This is not the team. Again, the Reds in 1908, downed them again in 1911. They faced them in 1909 and 1910 and then reverse at the hands of the Superba and in 1909, 1910 and 1911 Boston won against them, his best record of this kind, however, he wung up against St. Louis, he losing then conquering them, his animals in 1904 and then conquering them until five years later. JOHNSON HAS MADE BIG SUM. Colored Champion Has Received More Than $300,000 Since He Became Heavyweight Premier. Jack Johnson has not fought much, since winning the title, contenting him- self to the theatrical engagements and 'sure things fighters. But he has made a world of money. In six years, John- son has taken in over $200,000, and his recent victory over Moran promises to have a world of money over 400,000 more.

Scott, the great negro Hoosier artist is here in Chicago and has had a very successful exhibition of his pictures in the reception of M. Carrers of the Wabash branch Y. M. Carrers of the Wabash branch Y. M. Mr. Scott has been the recipient of many parties and receptions during his career from the negro and white citizens. It was here in the Chicago School of Art that Mr. Scott received his earlier training and also a scholar's abrasion. This work was called upon to paint the portraits of several wealthy white and colored men besides disposing of several of his pictures. Another great honor that has been bestowed upon Mr. Scott is in the seated diana's greatest artists, who are to furnish the interior decorations for the new building of te-City Hospital in Inman, and to Mr. Scott to obtain his services for his part of the work, the letter read to Mr. Scott to obtain his services were wanted in this above mentioned work.

This is indeed a great honor for the diana's greatest artists, and the things are noticed it parts the shadowy haze of doubt which stands between the negro race and success and gives a hopeful light of fire for the future.
