AT LAST, THE RIGHT HAIR OIL HAS BEEN FOUND. MAJORS OXFORD Five ways to show the tremendous difference in hair oils—differences in quality, in purity, in fineness—in the way they adhere to the scalp and in appearance on the hair. Our hair oil, our hair oil, our hair oil, will find the nearest approach to your idea of a perfect oil in Major's Hair Oil. Heretofore you have had difficulty in finishing oil of sufficient fineness that would adhere to your scalp. Have you not been obliged to sacrifice one advantage for the other? You have both a product of remarkable fineness, and at the same time one which adheres perfectly. Some oils to gain adherent oil need to be fluorinated. OXFORD HAIR OIL is pure as the driven snow. It comes in paste and liquid. OXFORD HAIR OIL is used in the fineness that is most unusual. It is practically invisible on your hair, gives the true, natural glossy effect of real beauty. THE FINEST MATERIAL is the greater proportion of which are imported. If leaving for the summer, wouldn't you like a complexion cream with the fragrant oil of sweet, sweet violets, so real you can close your eyes and fairly believe you are smelling fresh-cut flowers themselves. This is the toilet delight awaiting you in Complexion Cream Face Powder. "Freshen up" with it tonight! See what a sense of dainty cleanliness it brings you, what an exquisitely fresh fragrance it imparts to your face, neck hands and arms. The summer freckles and tan the above mentioned cream cannot be excelled. It rapidly bleaches and preserves the skin so well that one is able to go out into one may wish with no fear of sun. In bathing or entering any out-door games, the skin when one uses Oxford Cream, and excellent for the skin and may be used. Seed by W. L. Majors Under the Pure Food 30, 1906, Serial No. 57805.

It is given out with much show of verity that the next Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. will be Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia. Phill Waters, the West Virginia general reading, clerk in the next Republican National Convention. Phil will fill the bill. The faculty of Howard University is made up of 125 trained men and women. It had a registration last year of 1,520, halting from thirty-eight states and eight foreign countries. Over in France, when an editor "gets his way" and suggests he bagged a virtual simply puts a bullet through him and there's no more to the so-called journalist's slanders and abuse. This is Dr. Booker T. Washington's business man, accoladed as he is by the best, has scarcely reached the threshold of the glory that is yet to be his. Travelers who see with their eyes and their ears are noting that wherever their ears are located, stove and militant business league, there is found the largest measure of general prosperity in business and the best of feeling between the white and black races. M. M. St. Clair, prominent in business and the semiahmed Henry, a merchant, have been nominated for the city council in Cambridge, Md., and stand an excellent chance of being elected. Both are colored and the majority of the voters in their ward are colored. Mr. Paul M. Warburg, now a member of the Federal Reserve Board, a position of responsibility co-equal with the governor of the voters in their ward once a trustee of Tuskegee Institute Business pressure made his retirement from active service necessary, but his interest in the school is as great as ever. Bishop J. W. Wood will probably be retrained at his own request at the Louisville general conference of the A. M. E. College, where he will be large and meritorious field of candidates. It is to the credit of the colored press that such a few of our race papers prefer their correspondents to emphasize the importance of the office to the recital of their appointments and promotions. Muckraking is not in our race journals, and sensation scribblers have a narrow market for their pessimistic wives. W, E. King, editor of the Dallas Express, has been elected president of the Texas State Negro Press Association, and was also designated as the official representative of the Muscogee meeting of the National Negro Press Association. Fifty newspapers were represented at the recent convention at the University of North Carolina to revival of interest in the Negro press throughout the State. . . Rev. H. Franklin Bray, pastor of the New Bethel A. M. E. church at Hutchinson, Kans., is doing a great work there. He is indeed aided by declarations of the pessimists that "couldn't be done." In a few months he has raised nearly 4,000 and added 133 new friends. He will allow friends to present his name to the next general conference for editor Recorded, and he might to have the place without a contest. At a monster meeting at Bakersfield, Cal., a few evenings ago, a live branch was organized. The meeting was presided over by Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, editor of Colored Press, the mouthpiece of the progressive clerics of Bakersfield vicinity. The Californians have no need for a "national organizer," to make high-quality speeches and do down bag beetles. They hand themselves and do the thing up brown. "Black-Handers" and blackmasters never tire of their nefarious work. They Dr. Washington is preparing to receive with open arms the national convention of the Mosaic Templars of America, which is scheduled to meet at Tuskegee Institution in the development of this wonderful art and for four years one of the right-hand men of the Tuskegee Wizard in the work of the National Negro Business League. Tuskegee Institute is an open to the helpful activities of the race. While in Auburn, N. Y., where he went to deliver the principal address in conference to the memory of the famous Harriet Tubman, Dr. Booker T. Washington was highly entertained by a number of Auburn students to the city. Dr. Washington was met at the station by L. F. Sperry, president of the university, and former mayor, Charles G. Adams, and former mayor, Charles E. Alken. He was driven diagonally on Owakee Road. The "Wizards' entire stay at Auburn was a continuous ovation and thousands of white and colored people," a Negro woman who ranked with Harriet Bescher Stone as an uplifter of humanity. D. Wellington Berry, a gifted newsgatherer, is doing some excellent reportorial work on the Nashville Tennessee, Tennessee, and some of the activities of the colored citizens of Nashville and in the nation at large. In this way many items denoting the lives of the white people who would never look into the columns of the best colored paper published. The employment of competent writers in Berry's report competed with colored people for the columns of the leading white dailies is directly in line with a recent recommendation of Booker T. Washington, who has written a book about the way to get a creditable Negro meeting of incident properly heralded, is to get a right-minded colored man to get up the report. JACKSONVLLLE, ILL., NEWS.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914. Ex-Senator Beveridge is merely talking to keep up the practice. It's all very nice that the Mexican war is about ended. Now if Carranza will eliminate himself and permit his country to choose a president it will be still nicer. Having some hot days, but old Sol is doing its back tracking stunt. Soon August will usher in; and how timely named those August days: hot in the mid-day, cool at nights, teasing the fruit and vegetables on to maturity. "Wildcat," the Negro burglar, led a double life. He had homes along the shores of White river, in the river bottoms. He also kept genteel quarters among high-toned on California street. Sounds like the novels, don't it? All roads lead to Muskogee, Okla, where the National Negro Business League meets August 19, 20, 21. That town has been scouring up and going on for the past year. A spotless town, a Negro town, after the order of the home of Dutch haus frau, is what will be seen. Now that we have made Mexico be good Haiti is next on the program. That country is again in a ferment, and brother Wilson won't stand for it. From all accounts he will invade the island and set them colored folk right before he leaves. Minister Menos says that he counts upon the American spirit of justice to restrain the talked of intervention. The colored people of Virginia have been fortunate in having congress vote $55,000 to be used in promoting an exposition to be held in that state next year. The exposition will be essentially Southern although Negroes of the United States are expected to take part. One hundred acres of land at Ft. Lee, five miles from Richmond, have already been purchased. This exposition and the one to be held at Chicago, Ill., will emphasize the fifty years of Negro freedom fairly well. James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, was a lifelong friend of George A. Carr, who recently died at Greenfield, Ind. Mr. Riley wrote some touching verses in his memory. The concluding one follows: So rest you, Playmate, in that land Still hidden from us by His hand, Where you may know again in truth All of the glad days of your youth—As when in days of endless ease We played beneath the apple trees. The canal is still giving up its secrets. This week the body of Joseph R. Lumley, aged sixty-two, was found at the Udell campus crossing last Tuesday afternoon. He had been seen the Saturday previous, since which time no one seemed to know anything about him. It is said that he drank heavily at times. Now and then the talk circulates that they are going to do away with the mischievous stream. But it still sticks, and as dirty, mangy and menacing as it ever was. It is believed that President Wilson will appoint a Negro for the office of Recorder of Deeds at Washington as has been the custom for so many years. Bishop Walters who started out with something of a pull with the President is again in evidence. He is for Cosey, of New Jersey, so it is said. The bishop hasn't had the heart to be for any one much in view of Mr. Cosey's program, now the recordership him is handed with the fold the bishop and other Democrats and Independents will pick up courage. The police have rounded up "Wildcat," whohever he may be. He is said to be a White river bottoms terror, a Negro, who hid along the shores of the river after doing his dark deeds. He is spoken of as a veritable highwayman, holding automobiles people and pedestrians. He's a plum new one to us. But we guess there are plenty more things that we know nothing about. This same "Wildcat" got on a rampage last Tuesday and ran amuck the law which brought him down with a shot in the thigh. Chas. Carter, policeman, son of famous old Negro officer, Dan Carter, wounded the desperado after he had shied a brick, which tore a gash in his head. It turned out that "Wildcat" was a gentleman burglar at times. He had a room on California street, where evidences of his operations were found. Mr. "Wildcat," seemingly, had a method in what he did. The police think he is one of the best catches of the season. Well, if Mexico tolerates an active rebellionist on the "throne" it's more than we think it will do. Carranza, if he cares for the peace and prosperity of his country, will throw his influence to some other man—whose hands are not red with war. George Washington came to the head of his country because it was practically a unit against the mother country. This was a revolution, true and proper. Carranza's cause has the benefit of a beautiful, a most forceful name, it appropriated the situation, but did not cover it. The other factions, we think, were as much interested in the welfare of Mexico as the Carranza faction. Perhaps they were less selfish, who knows? Carranza is playing for the presidency. It's a great stake all right. But we cannot see that the title will inure peacefully, and for a long time in any one who wins it by the bayonet. We think our country is too willing to make way for Carranza, without knowledge of his hold on the people of Mexico. Carranza is the people it is up to him to clear the way for an election according to the constitution of the country. Otherwise Carranza coming to the front would mean imperialism, with himself as dictator, made and supported by the United States. Bud Davis, a Negro, is suing eight well known white men of Shelby county, Mo., for maltreatment. Davis was accused of a slight offense, and in the effort to make him confess he was hanged to a tree and horsehipped. After he was cut down he was escorted to the county line and told never to return again. Davis claims that he has been made a cripple for life, and because of which he entered suit for $7,500 damages. Suits of the kind are unusual. This, we think, has been because of the nature of the "offense" in most instances. The offense would cut no figure where everything was fair and equal. The suit, in this case, follows naturally enough, and the prospects of success ought to be good in any community where there is a semblance of justice. Ohio has an anti-mob law which is similar to the law of a citizen has a right to protection against other citizens. If not anarchy would set up in place of the courts. The eight men should be made to pay until they feel it. They should be made to pay until it dawned on them that a life is a life, given to one as to another, and that it is not at the disposition of man's caprice. When men are the law unto themselves then the appeal is to something higher or else it is worse for that community. Colonel James Lewis Passes Away. Colonel James Lewis, who died at his home in New Orleans, La., July 11, was one of the best known colored of the country. The story of his early life, his struggles to rise is interesting and pathetic. He was born in the dark days of our nation's history, in 1833, consequently it was up to him if he would survive or perish. One is reminded of Frederick Douglass in his effort to learn his letters. He put his wits to play, and as those do who are denied what, seemingly is a common heritage. He very early saw the advantage of education; he rested neither night or day until the key of manhood at its best was in his possession. We quote the following from the Southwestern Christian Advocate: "It is no surprise, therefore, after such heroic effort for his own intellectual training, education. He was appointed as agent for the Freedman's Bureau right afterward and at the risk of his life, organized schools for his people throughout the state." Col. Lewis made himself useful as a soldier. When Gen. Butler was moving in the vicinity of New Orleans he asked permission to form a regiment of colored troops. Consent being given companies were formed, and of which he was appointed captain of Company K. He rendered good service during the war, for which he rose to the rank of colonel. It is held that the Negroes of the South would not have been admitted to the Grand Army post in the South had it not been for Col. Lewis' efforts. At the Grand Army Encampments he has been a familiar figure until recent years. In politics Col. Lewis was a Republican. He belonged to that picture-age of the party when it presented such men as Grant, Logan, Sherman, Conkling, Blaine, Edmunds, Morton, Harrison, Platt, Elkins, Dorset, Filley, Ouay and others. These men stood out as figures of cameo, and whose likenesses will not be soon seen again. Among the Negroes of this class were Bruce, Cuney, Pledger, Douglass, Lynch, Pinchback and Langford. During this most eventful period there were many men of both races of similar distinction and conspicuity in their localities and in the general nation. As we think of it this may well be the golden age of Republicanism as well as the picturesque age—when men reflected greatly on themselves and country owing to their splendid activities. The whole world felt the quickening impulse for Lincoln touched that age and enriched it. Perhaps no man of his race enjoyed greater popularity with the general party than Col. Lewis. Administration after administration named him for good, substantial positions. These places reflected his influence in the general party and of course, his influence in his home state. "He held the following Presidential appointments: United States Naval Officer President Rutherford B. Hayes, United States Secretary who abdicated Chester A. Arthur; Deputy Collector of Customs and Immigration Inspector Benjamin Harrison, United States Surveyor General by President William McKinley, and reappointed by President William Reagan. Reconstruction Period record was凄 worthy. He held a number of important positions of trust and honor in the city government of New Orleans immediately after the assassination of missioner of Police and Public Buildings and later Administrator of Public Improvements." "One incident that may indicate the sterling worth of Colonel Lewis occurred when he asked the Public Works of New Orleans. He asked for his vote to lease the water works for ninety-nine years, with $50,000 on the desk before him and the assurance, that we your vote and it is yours. When he asked the Public Works of New Orleans, he asked for his name for yourself. The reply was an indignant one. 'No, money cannot be used for a work for the best interests of the city.'"

Wickwear and Johnson Unable to Compete With Rube's Twirlers—Mrs. Elwood C. Knox Sits In Press Box—Indians Coming Sunday. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, IL., July 22—The Fourth of July crowd did not have anything on the crowd that was present last week. The crowd was able to give welcome to the Mohawk Giants. This team came from New York state and had on it such well-known players as Peyton Manning, Pryor, who used to be with the Giants, and Buckner, one of the oldest players on the diamond today. Long before the fourth game, the boxes or grand stand and the seats just in front of the boxes were crowded, and the long stream of fans had to be seated in the park. Wickware pitched a good game, but had very poor support. Had a team with a lot of players part of the visitors, the game would have been more enthusiastic. There were no sensational plays. Just a good game, and some of the home boys were the masters of the visitors. Every man on the team got a hit except Gillard, the American, and the Cleveland Browns. Duncan, Booker and Francis got three hits and Lloyd two. Five hits and two errors in the first two innings were in the game. The lead which the visitors were able to catch. There was a little bit of luck, but this did not keep the lusty fans from remaining. The score ended 8 to 2, in favor of the eMerican Giants. The Crowd Well Dressed. The crowd was one of the most well dressed and behaved seen in public for many a day. There was no arguments and evenly and evenly was pleased with this. The ladies wore beautiful hats and new gowns and hundreds came in automobiles. The ladies wore flags, cars and of American Giants. Others had large pennants on their cars with the name of the home boys the score: *american Giants.* R. H. P. A.

He and his team have been present the following day, Nevertheless, a large week-day crowd attended the game. In the mound. He was hit unmercifully and had bad support and would have won had it not been for those who used to say, "the muffs" for every other ball would fall out of their hands. It took eleven innings to play off the tie. Victory came when Barber, with a teammate, threw the third on a passed ball and counted on Hill's outfield fly. When this play was made, you could hear fans yelling for the home boys. The visitors had several chances to win, but they had the "muffs." **American Giants.** H. P. 1, E.

This was the largest crowd of the season. A much larger one is expected when the [real New York] Giants play the Cleveland Cavaliers and Walter Speedy are ready to meet all comers when the Lincoln arrive. Enjoys His Trip East.

Great Crowds Flocked to View the Offerings—Rucker's Band and Minstrels a Feature. Young Buffalo Bill's show invaded Indianapolis last Monday and made a name for itself. The sightseers congregated as they usually do, early, awaiting the time when a part of the offering would be complained because she saw no elephants; it wasn't that kind of a show. The show was made up exclusively of home talent. The little boys knew what to expect—real Indians, real cowboys, real being seen at the movie shows. They were hungry to see the real articles. The minstrel annex and band were features at the show grounds. Here were a group of colored minstrels, the minstrels, the band and the minstrel annex and band were also seen in the parade. Rucker is a member of his people like. They work willingly and cheerfully, and the audience is first sight. The band plays pretty all kinds, suiting the music nicely to the work in hand. When the snakes were coming out, they waltz; somehow it fitted that exhibition; others were of similar propriety. The members of the band and miniscuits were the Rucker, director; Berry tuba; Duane Nethercott; net; Cosgro Cropp; William Sidney, trombone; Eddit Porter; William Sidney, trombone; Eddit Porter; Webster Rucker, trombone; John Briscoe, trombone; John Briscoe, trombone; In the minstrel part Eddie Porter, Webster Rucker, John Briscoe and Ethel Rucker do, some nice quartette work when Miss Ethel rings out in the good old way: "Gentlemen, be seated. Then the fun is on; jokes, songs and music." Cosgro Cropp did a dancing turn in which he put a touch of "balling the Jack." And in the language of Duncan, he put a touch of colored folks yell. Our folks were there in force. The sideshow managers have much to be thankful for, in that there are plenty of colored people in the world. Ethel Rucker does the "International Rag" and "This Is the Life" in a nice, taking style, with a good voice. He gets under the knees and Get Under" and "Can't Get Any Prom Here," and does them well. Among those seen while making the Rag, he gets under the knees so much. He was eating fire right along. He said that he would not have any fear of where he might be eating fire is part of the program. The show was good, all parts of it. Crowds flocked to see it, thousands of people. Some, like the aforementioned colored sister, expected to see it. The crowd was doin' along that line. It was plenty good enough without the pachyderms. H. DRAKE. MGR.

NOTES OF ALABAMA MINSTRELS Alabama Minstrels showed day and date with the Gollmar circus four weeks ago. We show Gollmar like the Alabama Minstrels, after showing against the Gollmar circus four weeks ago. We show the Yankee Robinson show and we more than got ours at night. Alabama Minstrels are doing some railroading this season, we are now California bound and by cotton picking time we will be in Alabama, and Mississippi. Keep your eye on us. To the little hot shots from other states, we are showing band and the show. Beautiful wardrobe isn't everything in show business. Talent is what makes the show go, and we haven't got it on the Alabama. Going traveling this summer? Want a trainee bag free? Write us.

Affort on the Isle of Dismay. I am floating at large, On the isle of dismay, And the isle of heavy charge, In a wicked way.

(ny Billy Lewis.) since: "It is naturally a question of great momentum and concern to the patriotic Australian who loves to see his country predominate in the sport's boxing particular, is the no-belle sport an isbn trait in all true Rither man felt that everything was in his favor for success. They both asserted their confidence. And, perhaps, had there been no foul, no doubt would have been standing up at the end of the week to team up with Carpenter to their condition and the work throughout the bout. Smith delivers a foul low and Carpenter is open question us to who is the indisputed champion among white heavies. Even Welsh has been a strong opponent. White defeated Ritchie prior to Welsh's defeat of Ritchie. By a technicality. White lost. And technically lost. I do not do that. It is thought that the titles will rest as they are, but at that it is plain to see that there is an assurance of hard fight, but I am confident of winning, said Carpenter. He has prepared for it. Tom Kenedy, my sparring partner, knows Smith's style and I have trained to meet it. "You know it only takes one punch to do the work," said Gunbobot. "I have to smile at this talk of my being tough enough to keep Carpenter busy. His style of fanning his arms, jumping and prancing won't bother me. I expect to win before the twenteth and When Carpenter arrived at the ring side his admiring French friends unanimously pulled and pulled the carriage to his hotel. That was going some. The little point in big illustrating their viewpoint men have been known to seize the vector and perch him on their shoulders, carrying him around for a while. The hero worship* where we take the place of horses we don't quite see it the auditorium to see him enter the street boys gathered at the entrance of the auditorium to see him enter the Negro or the black man. Sometimes we are told of the inadequacy of our language to express shades of French language. I couldn't quite see the point, and because I was not quite to see it, we could think of nothing that would make much by way of exclamation as what those boys said to Jack Johnson. They must success to him, and they meant to seize it. It was meant as a sign of their man-drawn and so forth. Perhaps the function of a kind that can be paid an amount, it is heroic, poetical and imitation to beat. Betting begin at 8 to 5 in favor of Carpenter. As the time grew near her death, Sutlins heavy punch was relied on as the arbitrator in the mixup. Carpenter's heartiness and youth bore down for her, and she had touched out twenty rounds with Joe Janetelle and Smith had put off Langford, so honors were again even when it was a toss up as to who would win. Here follows a bit of biography of both men and worth knowing: Carpenter is the first of the French recognition while to gain world-wide recognition while leading boxes of the so-called "white asses" which sprang up following the defection which sprayed into Jack Johnson, at Heno, in 1410. Edward (Gunboat) Smith is an Irishman, born in Philadelphia, Pa. West six years, he began fighting in the most prominent among the white bounty hunters until he came east in 1912. With the exception of a decision in 1912, Smith has a clear record, time having a lost a battle since that time, having a lost a powerful pair of arms and shoulders in powering a power unlooked for from a man effective in the physique. Two of his most effective owls are an overhand right swing and a left-hand, uppercut, either of which hand is used. A spot, is a fight finisher.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—In the fourth longest game of professional baseball on Hartford-champions of the Eastern Association, July 14, by the score of 2 to 1. The teams fought bitterly, contesting every of the twenty-six innings. It was one of the greatest pitchers' duels ever seen in New England, but Geist of Hartford had more stamina than his opponent, Jesen, who hurled for the local club. The longest professional game of record is the one between the Bloomington and Decatur teams of the Three-1 League, which was played at Bloomington. The game gave twenty-six innings and was won, 2 to 1, by Decatur. The second game was between Grand Forks and Forsyth, which was played at Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics of the American League, Sept. 1, 1896. It lasted twenty-four innings, and was won by the Athletics by the score of 4 to 1. The A. B. Cs. made a clean sweep of their series, the Mohawk Glants of Schenectady, N. Y., winning Thursday's game, 4 to 3. Sydney, New South Wales, July 19—Eddie McGooory, the American pilgrist, has accepted an offer cabled him from London to fight George Carpenter in London in October for a purse of $10,000.

LONDON—Only another fight between Gunboat Smith and George Carpentier involved all England today, as a result of the unsatisfactory ending of the scheduled twenty-round battle for the "white heavyweight champion of the world" at Olympia last night. Few agree on just what happened in the fight between Gunboat Smith and Carpentier went to his knees and an instant afterward the Frenchman's seconds jumped into the ring and Carpentier went to his knees and Carpentier while he was down. Those at the ringside do not even agree as to whether Carpentier was down upon missing a vicious swing directed at the American's jaw. Neither do they agree as to whether Carpentier was down upon landing after Carpentier was down. Some authorities declare Smith caught himself and the blow did not land at all. Others say the blow was very light and could not possibly have done any damage. Bit of Acting: Carpenter held his head in his hands and appeared to be in great distress, and he declared, was merely a clever bit of acting. Carpenter insisted today that he should have the force of a blow from Smith. He said he slipped and that the only hard blow struck landed when he was on top. A majority of the English papers take the view that Smith was intentional or not, however, refere Corri declared he had no choice but to dissuade Smith. The Daily Mail as expressing the opinion that Smith was stronger than Carpenter at the time, "it might well have won the fight," "He might well have won the fight," Corri declared. He is bitter over the outcome of the battle. They pronounce the decision of Corri an outrage and declare that he was guilty of geneticiculating Frenchmen who jumped into the ring from Carpentier's cor- Want Another Match. Smith and his manager, Jim Buckley, said today they intended to make a further effort to arrange a return fight with the American boxer declared he was willing to meet the Frenchman anywhere and at any time, and would not interfere. The American boxer would take the entire purse or gate money. Smith today asserted that he never would fight again before a cinematograph. He had been wearing glasses in the sunlight. Last night the glare of the lights puzzled him and he thought this possibly had something to do with his striking Carpenter while the French- Smith insists that even if his glove touched Carpenter it was unintentional and the blow did not hurt his opponent, but the blow he said, would have continued the fight. As to the blow which knocked him down in the fourth round, Smith said that while it was not his fault, he had simply remained down to gain the benefit of the rest. While realizing that it is hopeless, Buckley made the formal protest ground that it had been arranged for the seconds to remain out of the until after, and given his deschamps, the Frenchman's manager, Buckley points out, disgarded this arrangement and jumped into the ring immediately he saw there was a chance of winning the bout on Carpentier Not Hurt. The boxing experts of the evening newspapers today are as enthusiastic a force of the foul blow given by Smith as were those of the morning newspapers. Mr. Smith, Fredie Welsh, the lightweight champion, however, say that Carpentier was not followed the foul blow was the result of quick, simultaneous working of the brains of the boxers in their editorial comments on the match all the newspapers declared it was clear Smith did not make any intentual attempt to strike a foul blow. THE SMITH-CARPENTIER FIGHT BY ROUNDS. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Round 3—The referee warned Smith for fouling. Carpenter landed his foot in two body blows at close range. Carpenter barely missed a clever left, which slid off his cheek. The round was marked by chinching. Smith landed a left swing to the face. Carpenter reached a Smith's face with a left, and repeated a similar operation a moment later. Smith landed a left swing to the right. Smith was knocked down with a right on the kidneys as the bell rang. Carpenter's swiftness seemed to be grim. Round 4—Carpenter led with his left and exchanged short right-arm blows on the neck. Smith hooked a left arm and then slid down with gave him two short, vicious lefts on the cheek. They then mixed it furiously, playing for the face with rights. Smith landed a right to the face, which jarred the Frenchman. Honors were even. Smith men rushed, coming up for the sixth round. Smith drove rights and left at the Frenchman. Carpenter sent heavy body smashes to the left. Smith landed a boxing cleverly. Smith sent right to the face. Carpenter dropped to his knees. Smith then hit the prostrate man full on the left. Smith sent right to stop the fight, disqualifying Smith. A storm of boos and hisses followed. Smith groped his way to his corner, confused by the bedlam that had been blowered, the apprentier was on his feet almost at once. WILL BASEBALL EVER SEE EQUAL OF HANS WAGNER Former Stars Are Soon Forgotten by Average Fan When They Quit the Game. "The game will never see another shortstop like the like of Hans Wagner," he said, by a young man who is a close student of the great American outdoor passerby, who he believed that he was making a prediction that he will be disputed. However, if one goes back over the past, the history of the national game he will soon conclude that there is every chance of a player the equal to the best in years to come, and almost as much a possibility of this player being a star, the records are full of processions of stars. It seems there is always as good a man to take one's place, no matter how old he is. Athletics Have Star. Perhaps there is no more striking example of this rule than the second base position of the Philadelphia around the pivot point on the Athletic infield dates back to the earliest days of the game, when the Philadelphia National basketball club was known as the Athletics. For years Philadelphia raved about the second base play of A. J. Reach, but when the Philadelphia facturer, who formerly was a bright star in the baseball arena. He was a wonderful hitter and a grand fielder, but when an opponent dribble and was stationed at the pivot sock, the Quaker City fans forgot all about Reach. LaJoe was pronounced the greatest ever. He was for years in time Philadelphia developed another second sacker, who displaced him from the throne. The player in question is Eddie Collins, the second base guardian of the world championship. Many Classy Fielders. Left field, on the Philadelphia Nationals, is another position that had McMullin, a great hitter and fielder, and next the wonderful Billy Hamilton, who was displaced by the mighty Ed Magee with a wounded wooden Magee has been the star in left. The New York club has always been fortunate to play in the top tier with a wounded single star there. Perhaps every other position was weak, but the hurler's mound could be a great place for joy to the Manhattan rooters. In the old days it was Timothy Keefer, in the 1980s, the world's championships in 1888-89. Then came the wonderful Amos Russie, with his dazzling speed and brilliant ability to Christy Mathewson. LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP FREDDIE WELSEN INTER- TESTING GAFER Jack McGuigan, the famous promoter, started him off in a six-round tournament, and won. The next season McGuigan sent him against various boys. Welk kept winning, and with the help of his teammate, boxing the delivery and evasion of punches. Successive battles made his name a prominent one in the lightweight class in less than two years, and in the later years that followed. In his early career he fought brilliantly in the boxing tournament. Jimmie Durr, Dave Deshler and Tim Callahan. He went back to Wales in 1907 and won eight straight bouts. His return he boxed all over America. Something About His Record. He beat Maurice Sayers and drew with Charlie Neary, two high-court pugilists in 1988. He lost Paukey in 1989 to rookie Mike Then he humbled Phil Brock and drew with McFarland in 25 rounds at Vernon, Cal. Later he trounced Abe Attel, feathered champion then, in 15 rounds. He also whipped Frank Carsey, Harry Trendall. Young Erne, and knocked out Ray Bronson, who had stopped McFarland. The men he defeated were Henri Plet Johnny Summers, Jem Driscoll. Matty Baldwin and Pal Moore. He again boxed a draw with McFarland and lost the British lightweight title to the lost the British lightweight title to Wells. Nineteen-eleven was a bad year for him and he imagined himself playing as a pekingi. When he fought and locked the Willey and Willey Ritchie in that year he was at the bottom of his form. During the past years Welsh has had a bad out and out career, lost only once—to Jimmy Duffy, of Lockport—but his boxing was not con- tained, poor bowlings with Phil Bloom, Phil Bloom, Phil Bloom, Grover Hayes and Young Saylor. In the past year Welsh has beaten Dundee, Frank Whitney, Mickey Sherman, Leach Leach, Grover Hayes and Young Ritchie. A NOTE FROM PITTSBURGH The Fight Game Coming Up—U-american Women Gear Attire Sen.

NINE HAVE HEE BE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPS SINCE 1880. John L. Was King for Longest Time Being Champion for 10 Years; Johnson Lasts Long. Paddy Ryan in 1880 won the heavyweight ring title from Joe Goss in an annual bout. Gareth interest Virginia Giants great American interest prized ring practically dates from the advent of John L. Sullivan, who met Ryan February 7, 1882, at Mississippi State, and defeated him in nine rounds. From then on Sullivan rules supreme with the possible exception of the title. This battle was fought March 10, 1888, in France, and was called a draw by mutual agreement. This was fought on Sullivan held the title fourteen months. Corbett held it four years and seven months, or until he was knocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons, March 17, 1888. Fitz held the crown two years and three months, when he was knocked out by John L. Sullivan. Fitz held the crown two years and three months, when he was knocked out by John L. Sullivan. N. X. Jeffries held the honors nearly six years, when, he, finding no worthy competition, retired, turning in a rival, Harvin Hart, conqueror of Jack Root. Hart took the title July 3, 1965, and lost it soon after to Tommy Burns, and then to Jimmy Burns. Burns put up a strong list of battles till he ran against Jack Johnson, December 1965, and then to the negro in Australia. Burns thus held the top seat for nearly three years. Johnson held to the title deserved of many of the great white bobcats of taking it away from him. His best-known fight was with Jeffries, July 4, 1910, at Reno, Nev. he knocked Jeffries out, and then he held the title six years and six months.

BOXING COMMISSION RULES WALCOTT TOO OLD TO BOX NEW YORK—Joe Walcott, of Boston, the Barbados negro who was for years the recognized weltwerter lightweight athlete, part in a bout here July 17, but the New York State Athletic Commission would not allow him to enter the ring because he was too young when in the opinion of the commission, it would be safe to permit him to risk another fastic battle. He was 26 and that is over 42 years old. His last appearance in the ring was in Brockton, Mass., four years ago, when he was beaten in seven rounds by Keith Whitney.

That there will be something done when the Doctors and Business Men in the Army are called in. Northwestern Park August 7th seems very evident as the date draws near. Most of the mutual pleasure to be derived from such a game, this spirit now seems to be the overconfident feeling of the business doctors had a more limited field to go from that has faded away as they get over the lineup of doctor "come-backs." Since both teams are getting good manners, they leave a hard proposition to cope with. This game will be played for the bene- fits of the institutions—Lincoln hospital and Alpha home.

(Melville Pegue, 1219 N. Chestnut St. Louisville, Ky. Phone City 5038S.) Since such little has been said in the recent local weeklies about just what disposition the local branch of the N. A. A. Church has in the fight against tion fight in our city many wivesacres and Aunt Hagar's prophets are beginning to shake their heads and seem rather dubious in security in the matter. We may all rest assured that we will stay and there will be no backing bells rung until truth and right are vindicated it must be carried to the highest court in the city. According to a statement given by the Rev. C. H. Parrish, President of the Brownsville Association on hand money enough to possess his and is waiting for a suitable case to develop in order to file suit. No case will be filed until the court law in toto so that the whole thing may be aired in court and either segregation in Louisville is killed or it is proven to all minors an adult woman and black and justice may be bought and sold in this land and country for a so-called American on returning to America brought with him a friend from across the waters. As he neared the great sea, he was asked by a friend with his bosom heaving with patroltism, approached his friend and asked: "What friend answered, "Because she can't sir." We sometimes wonder if his friend was a colored man. In reality, viewing America to the black man means just so much and carries just as much significance as a friend. No true colored man can sing "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" without feeling away down the river and a lie as black as the hinges of midnight. When, by the amendments to the Constitution of the United States we were in 1789, we were the first country upon its honor that it so jealously guards swore and bound itself to give us equal opportunity to compete in the game. That endeavor that our mental or physical capabilities would admit us. Slowly but unanimously the white man has decided to take the oath of allegiance to those sacred rights of citizenship. Would we understand that we are his inferior and must at all times be subservient to his will? We are obligated to allow us to stand up in the streets of our might and prove ourselves men. Even now the cry goes up from one of our African-American farmers to another an Afro-American party to fight for constitutional rights and equality before the courts of justice. No not this for, we are not to be about to quit in the great fight for the second Emancipation. Political equality cannot be attained by separation but rathdrum is necessary, and negotiating, protecting and fighting. This the secret of the success of all social reforms, even to the industrial reforms, by the trades unions in our generation. Pride, arrogance and ignorance have entrenched the neck of the white man to such heart and heart are closed even to truth and right. The proverbial words of the wise Solomon, which are in this sense prophetic, *Pride* is the heart spirit before a fall", and haughty spirit before a fall", and are writ in the eternal blue of God's providence and see long, before the close of this twentieth century, fulfilled, bringing with it equality to all. Miss Annie Nelson, of Cincinnati, O., and Miss Anderson, of the same city, were the first to hold a Merrideth, of 1535 Bismark avenue. They have returned to their homes after a pleasant stay in metropolls. Dr. Frank Kirk was in the city this week visiting the different members of his profession and old friends. He closed its ninth annual session on Monday with a great meeting at the Ninth Street Baptist church. The bringing of this spirit to the city quite a treat to us and especially to the women as Miss Eaton in their time. We feel that an impression for good has been made upon our young people and with open hands to invite them back again. COLORED PEOPLE IN CHAUTAU- QUA.

NEGROES PLAN EXPOSITION. Congress Appropriates $55,000 Toward Meeting Expenses at Richmond, Virginia WASHINGTON, July 21.—The sunday civil appropriation bill authorizes the Secretary McAdoo to turn over to the state the land and property promoting an exposition to be held at Richmond next year by the Negroes of the south.

The appropriation was proposed by Senator Martin, of Virginia, a Democrat, and was unanimously approved by the state and as well as the Republicans and Democrats from the north.

The state of Virginia has made a liberal appropriation toward the enterprise, and state help is promised from several other southern commonwealths.

Mme. Evelyn Horton has been eight years in business, and in that time she has grown hundreds of heads of beautiful hair. Her success has indeed been wonderful, and in many instances her accomplishment has been little short of marvelous. From short, stubby, harsh hair she has grown long, thick, soft tresses that have delighted their possessors and become the envy of others. Her two great remedies, Magic Hair Grower and Magic Pressing Oil, will produce thick, soft, long hair on any scalp. In her experience, Mme. Horton has cured nearly every known kind of scalp disease and has brought splendid results out of the worst conditions. No hair is too stubby and harsh to be softened and lengthened by her remedies, and no scalp is too unhealthy to yield to her treatment. She has made a special study of beauty culture, and today offers the best cream for the cure of the skin. It makes the face soft and velvety. A trial will convince the most skeptical.
