Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, contributed another chapter to the serial campaign of the Republican rounding the recordership of deeds for the District of Columbia. While at the White House Monday, the Ohio state senator, a colored Democratic incumbent, asked the President to consider the recommendations of Sully Jaymes, a colored Democratic incumbent in politics in Ohio for many years, is a member of the organization that he endorsed by Governor Cox, State Chairman W.

Howard, of the District of Columbia, here referred to as "dark heroes" in the background. The White House reporter of the Washington Evening Star, who has the best means in the world for knowing the power of the other circle of the "powers that be," says: "The opinion has prevailed for some time that the President will wait until he can precipitate a fight on Negro appointments while other business is pending, and will then nominate a colored man for the place of the man has been known for some time, but when he would do so has not been so clear in his own mind." Bishop Walters to the Rescue. Bishop Walters is ever alive to the welfare of his people. When an opportunity appears to him, while this big-hearted tribune of the race does not stop to ask the politics, creed or locality of his people for right in and extends the aid, subordinating all questions to the fact that one of his own blood and kindred is in jeopardy and must be held accountable. It came to the Bishop's attention that a quiet movement was on foot to create an Assistant United States District Attorney, the incumbent of which is James A. Cobb, an admirably equipped lawyer, who has administered the affairs of the office in fine style, according to the District Attorney, and who is in function to represent the federal government in cases involving violations of the pure food and drugs act, and he is said to have handled many of the difficult manners. When word reached Bishop Walters that Mr. Cobb's retention had become an issue, with a possible recommendation, he was for allerged lack of business, he "got busy." A strong plea was made to Attorney-General McReynolds and the aid of other powerful forces in the administration was enticed, with the result that the position of special assistant District Attorney remains intact and that Mr. Cobb remains "on the job" indefinitely. This is just one sample of the kind of work Bishop Walters is doing for his people every day.

Quite the biggest convention of the rank and file of the Tuskegee, but has ever entertained the presence of so large and so important a body of Tuskegee men and women growing importance of Tuskegee as the capital and convention center of colored people. One brother, wedded to Tuskegee, has made to make Tuskegee the permanent order of all future conventions of the order.

Welcome By Dr. Washington. WELCOME BY DR. WASHINGTON. The opening exercise, held up the spacious chapel of the school, made an impressive scene. Seated together were Booker Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and John E. Bush, founder of the Mosiacs. Gran chmaster Elliott HON. JAMES E. BUSH brought forth hearty applause when he looked around and exclaimed: "We are in the midst of a kingdom of kings and queens, including Grand Master L. L. Powell of Alabama, Birnbaum, Booker Washington, and John E. Bush, who delivered the response to the several welcome addresses. "Tuskegee," said Dr. Washington, when repeatedly interrupted by applause, "Tuskegee has entertained many distinguished persons, but we are honouring them present." Tuskepers bring my power to express I urge you to feel at home, for when this institution was planed we dedicated ourselves to present the leaders during more than thirty years, Representing the masses of my people who stand as the backbone of the leadership of this organization must realize the great responsibility of drawing so many people associated with colored bodies. You come with a high reputation among all the people, and therefore, you must stand as the leader of this organization associated with colored bodies. You come with a high reputation among all the people, and therefore, you must stand as the leader of this organization. We have seen a great thing can be done at Tuskegee and the story is told over again. I urge you to stand by your leaders. In Bush, the leader of the beloved Grand Master, you have leaders as worthy as any cause ever claimed, blocks your stay, and not their stumbling blocks. Advises Business. Dr. Washington said that often there is more danger in prosperity, than in adversity. He warns the leaders, among the poor, to avoid building up a strict business methods in all colored organizations. He gave it as his opinion that strong and well-tried men are needed more among the poor. "Our white friends in the South will treat with strong black men, but not with weaklings, he said. We will not pass pride in the Mosiac Templars," he continued, "because it is not an appendage to some white organization, and raised the pressure on those who chose your name, and now you see how far it has gone. You have extended your business beyond the seas." Pope John Paul II, the Master of this state, made a striking address in welcoming the delegates to Alabama. The response of John E. Bush, who was given the title of Master, with wit and humor and artful eloquence he told the story of the early struggles of what is now conceded to be the most successful and the soundest Negro fraternity. Reports Gratifying. The reports of the several officers were greetifying to all, delegates and visitors alike. The Mosiac Templars have quietly stolen in upon the fragrance of their warriors through peace. Upon the completion of a port, Grand Master Ellott, who succeeded the late William Alexander, who was the first to be elected for a full term by acclamation upon motion of John E. Bush. The successors presented by National Grand Scribe Bubba of the session, and the debates that ensued, showed a marked intelligence over the years of the Mosiac Templars have grown from one temple and half a chamber to a full membership of 400,000. They have learnt about the importance of kansas and now embrace the nation. Figures Tell the Story. Mr. Bush reports that the income of the organization since 1911 aggregates $191,307.34. The present assets of the order amount to $150,474.36. These assets are $188,307.34. The present assets of Little Rock, valued at $60,000. In actual cash Mr. Bush reported as having on hand $64,003.19. In death claims perhaps best served by W. R. Halliday, the last triennial convention $64,648.37. The soundness of the organization was perhaps best served by W. R. Halliday, the well known Southern actuary, and submitted by Secretary Bush. The actuary was a stop in fraternal progress and sealed the leadership of this organization. Auditor and Lawyer Report Auditor and Lawyer Report. National Grand Auditor John H. McCormick, leader of order, showed that a fraternity like any other business, thrives best under strictest business methods, while a less strictive law makes rules a law lawyer, who is the attorney-general, reported a minimum of law suits and a maximum of claims settled in the court. The prevaling laws. The several State Grand Masters brought in flattering records of increased membership and financial resources in the various jurisdictions.

He said: Ohio has the honor of having the leading university in America for the college education of the colored race. Wilberforce University, near Xenia, Green Bay, is the Civil War, is not only the SPORTER CRELLER Some greatest but the oldest institution of learning of this character in the country. The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self-educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts, Union Seminary, near EMERY H Columbus, was organized in 1844. The school was started on the manual training plan. Union Seminary, by reason of location and other circumstances, made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce University, and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. * * * College Campus Wilberforce Wilberforce has been fortunate in the high character, sterling qualities and splendid mental equipment of her preser- tance to the presidents in order since Bisho Pasha, 1851-1854; Prof. S.

He is the author of Greek and Latin textbooks which are extensively used in both colored and white schools. The greatest impetus to the permanence of the university came in 1887, when the department ed $4,000 to establish a normal and industrial department at Wilberforce. This department is located on a tract of about three hundred acres of the State adjoining the fifty-two acres HALL GALLOW MALL Buildings of Wilberforce originally purchased by the university.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 28280. SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1914. The Hague business seems to be a regular strife breeder. Get your bins filled. The time is nigh at hand when coal carts will look better than potato wagons. The Knights of Pythias had a great time in Shelbyville, Ind., this week. The occasion was the assembling of the Grand Lodge of the State. A policeman has no more right to beat up a citizen than any one else. His club is his weapon of defense and not offense. He will not use it very often if he uses it when he should do so. The little boy said he did not like to eat watermelon because he got his ears wet. Chestnut, ain't it? It's a classic. Why so? Because it keeps. But back to the red and luscious. That boy was eating watermelon in the right way for real enjoyment. Norfolk, Va., is coming up as a convention city. During the month of August it will entertain the Episcopal Convocation of the Southern Diocese of Virginia, the National Association of Graduate Nurses and the Elks of the World. It reminds us that Indianapolis is due some of the good big things. Shakespeare suggested troublesome war times by speaking of lions whaling in the streets and other portends that bespoke dire calamities. If he lived in this day, at this time, when the war eagle's scream is the most universal sound, and apparently the most welcome, what would he have said in our view of our super-dreadful nights of our submarines, our ultra-neroplanes and their ultimate destroys? Talking about the crash of matter and the wreck of worlds—this is the life! This piece of intelligence in one of the African journals: "War between the United States and Mexico is in full swing, and every mail brings news of bloody encounters and the sacrifice of thousands of human lives. Incidental to this is the report of brutal outrages on weak women and defenseless children, rapipe, famine and all the horrors of war—and all this between nations claiming to be civilized." How can he live after saying that? The editor drew heavily on his imagination—very heavily—overdrew his account. Well, the fact of it is he thought that would be the next thing so he proceeded to scoop his brother editors. However, "taint" too late yet for all of it to happen. Our folks are getting ingenious just like the white folks. A colored woman of Atlantic City, N. J., was employed about a building where there were many offices in which were girl stenographers. The colored woman set her wits to working as to how she could enjoy a larger salary than she was getting. In short, she concluded to raise her own salary. She got herself up into a ghostly form and hid in the rooms in convenient places, and from where she uttered groans and cries as if she were of the departed. She also met them in her questionable shape. The girls, of course, lost no time in making their get away. In their flight they would leave their valuable purses and so their was the valuable sister's hard vest. She gathered another shirt not sown. But she did the trick once too often: they got her. The moral: Do not reap where you don't sow. The Afro-American Realty Company of Denver, Colo., proposes a theatre and athletic club to cost $150,000. A news note says: "Robert Barrett promoted this building and will manage the theatre in connection with the Negro theaters in Nashville, Chattanooga, Washington, Philadelphia, New York and other cities belonging to the circuit, thus assuring the best of attractions. The theatre will seat 2,000 persons and contain all of the most modern equipment, heating and ventilating apparatus, along with spacious foyers and main entrance of marble and tile, and will be equal to the best to be found." The enterprise is very unusual in the country, no section of the country is so much larger than is included in a single business of the kind. It was Horace Greeley of years ago who said, Go west, young man, and grow up with the country. Apparently this young man and his associates have done so. We will have to go west for our patterns, maybe. We felt all along that Mme. Caillaux, wife of Frances, ex-Premier, would be acquitted. True enough, a life has been lost; a life has put out by the woman. And she was but a woman, a timorous creature, and, as she should have been, retreating and hiding from a wrold publicity of her private affairs. Had she been less a woman Editor Calmette would have been living. Her husband promised to put a quietus on the attacks made on their lives. But he dalled. Then if her husband will not act in the defense of the wife, as it was his place to act, then she will be her husband's friend and punish him, who so cruelly offended the wife of that friend she loved so dearly. Perhaps she sought no such roundabout way to put an end to a scandal monger. It was a question of a cruel and unjust method of waging a political campaign. She could not see that their private affairs had so much to do with it—at least, not to the extent of wrecking their lives. It was what the editor was doing; it is what he has done. We are not to be hounded by private means or even public for whatever we may do. "Judge Smith of the Sixth Judicial District of Kentucky, who tried the case at Hopkinsville recently against the L. & N. Railway Company, for failure to provide first class accommodations for colored people, in commenting upon the merits of the case, said: "Now the principle involved in these prosecutions is whether or not a colored man will be forced to receive a half pound for the price of a pound, and whether a dollar in the hands of a black man is worth any less than a dollar in the hands of a white man. It is just as wrong to give a colored man inferior transportation for the maximum fare as it would be to give him halfvalued merchandise for the top price. I mean to push these prosecutions against all the railroads in my district until the evil is abated without regard to whose ox is gored. If these cases are not sufficient, I will indict them again." Yes, we have insisted that the offending companies owe their Negro patrons rebate. They might have permitted them to have gone half fare, since they received half decent treatment. Who said something about soulless corporations? Governor Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina, is a mixed blessing; he is a strange compound of good and bad. He would to hell with the constitution if it permits the mingling of the races, yet he is emptying the prison of his state. Here is his strange preachment in turning the prisoners out: "I have no apology to make for a single parole, commutation or pardon that I have granted," he says, "I work by the Golden Rule, and whoever objects to that isn't a Christian, but a plain hypocrite. If all the men guilty of crime were tried many gentlemen in high places might be removed to prison cells. In my opinion there will be more souls lost through hypocrisy than through all the other crimes in the decalogue. "You hear from your pulpit, 'Help the heaten' but when one helps a fellow countryman and attempts to bring out the good in him and give him another chance in life the same people yell, 'Pardoning too many people.'" Of course he can overdo the thing, but that has nothing to do with his hat. A man that feels deeply for the unfortunate person in need, set down as—well, not as a bad man. The following from Honolulu: Hawaii: Color and race are the issues frankly being put to the front by Delegate Kuhio, a full-blooded Hawaiian, in his campaign for re-election to Congress. In his opening speech Kuhio says: "Every race is proud of itself and proud of its history, and the Hawaiian race has a right to feel that pride. So long as there is a majority of Hawaiian voters, and we should use our majority to send a Hawaiian as delegate to Congress. "If the Haloes (whites) had a majority here they certainly would elect an Haole as delegate." The Hawaiian is essentially right. His case, however, does not quite fit conditions in the United States proper. Here we can not afford to be so aggressive in waging a racial war. We contend for the citizen's rights; not so much for his $triviseleagues, as that would tend to pit the races. The Hawaiians are of equal influence in all ways—numerically, financially and from the standpoint of education. They move backwards if they do not live in Hawaii, or they are known, that they now enjoy, or that may be expected in common with the white citizens that have become residents of their island. VOTED OUT THIRD DEGREEING The Senate of Georgia has passed a bill making it unlawful for public officials to subject prisoners to the so-called "third degree." The bill may not become a law since the house must agonize it, and then the Governor has a chance at it. The "third degree" business or sweating, doubtless, has been of some use. But it is vicious in that it is abused. And very often it is applied to innocent persons. The old gag about what you don't know don't hurt you is all right, but what you feel hurts bad enough. Banging, kicking and cuffing even if not meant to kill you is insulting. Officers, very often, go on the theory that an arrested man can not be insulted. The law holds every man innocent until proven guilty, at least, that's the law idea. If men are held guilty to begin with then there might be reason for the term of imprisonment to begin the moment one is arrested. Really, maltreatment of an individual should not be expected anywhere. The Supreme Court of North Carolina has gone so far as to hold that the guards in prisons have no lawful right to whip prisoners. We cannot see why the courts have so long permitted the other thing. A man's a man in any old place, and when he reaches that estate—manhood—twenty-one and above—his body should be as sacred and free of touch as that of a virgin with vows. Many men, perhaps, will not agree with such a strong proposition as we put, but there are many more who know the humiliating influence of the lash. If we were a novelist we could go further, insisting that a healthy, normal child would no longer respect the father that received a blow without resenting it in some manner. Of course men are overpowered, and consequently are sometimes compelled to submit. But the effort to maintain oneself is it. Little governments keep this principle well in mind. The duelist is satisfied to occupy the field, if only to stand with folded arms in front of his adversary. Mankind is the same, practically, even if every man does not register the same degree of defense, offense or pugnancy. The body of the humble prisoner who commits a breach should be just as inviolate as those of gilded palaces. If the individual in prison is unruly; if he will not work, there are other methods to bring him around. If he is guilty, he will be punished in prison is largely accomplished. If within prison walls he is further cut off from society the purpose is served. THE FREEMAN.

RICHARD P. ERNST FOR THE U.S. SENATE Urged As a Fitting Successor to William O'Connell Bradley. COVINGTON, Ky.—There is a double responsibility resting upon the colored voters in the state. With other classes of citizens they have their share of the responsibility to redeem the nation from the corruption which have brought the Government into ridicule and its industries to the detriment of the people. Thus, the colored voter has the responsibility of considering the political preservation of his race. If you have been a close observant of current events, and it must be plain to you that the present crisis which the Democratic party is facing is not acute with the Negro than with any other class of citizens, because the Democrats are practically eliminated by political corruption. Mr. Ernst has never used his friendship for the colored race as a pawn in the reason that he has never, prior to this time, sought the preferment of his own race. He has never been invested in the advancement of the ambitions of others and the Republican party. Withal, he has never singled the colored race. Mr. Ernst has not only done this in a political way, but he has done it in a practical way. Mr. Ernst has aided us in the building of our churches, he has assisted in the maintenance of our schools, he has offered our fraternities, and has sought it out. He has also acted his powerful abilities into every move in the advancement of our race. He has taken struggling and worthy colored boys and placed them in positions of leadership. He has deft to the ambitions of our people. He has never substituted an excuse-for the negro, the cognize, he has always recognized him. Do you not think that the mantle of Senator Bradley should fall upon his shoulders of a man who is certain his group will be regarded race, instead of upon the shoulders of a man whose disposition in regard to the Negro is at a best a negligible quantity. We are writing to ask you to give your personal investigation to Mr. Bush, and to ask you to be a political but private friend of the colored race. After you have done this, we appeal to you to aid in making the public party in this year's contest, the successor of our great and good friend, the late Senator Bradley, and the late Senator Bradley, and the president of the colored people in the United States Senate will never go by default. We shall not be regaled with excuses for the colored people our rights—our rights will be upheld. We beg to call your attention to the fact that the endorsements given herewith are from prominent men, not from our own members of the Kentucky, and from all the varied walks of life. Hoping that you may see your way clear for the good he has accomplished for our race, but for the good that he will be able to accomplish for the Republican party and the country, we are W. H.

UNIVERSAL NEWS OF THE COLLEGE SPORTING WORLD FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL WINDS THERE ACCEQUATE UP TO THE FINALITE RUBE FOSTER INVADES KENTUCKY-WILL ESTABLISH THE MOWAKS IN LOUISVILLE—THE PREMIER'S BASEBALL METHODS TO BE INTRODUCED QUEENSBURY CODE. (By Billy Lewis.) Rube Foster, the head of the American Giants, of Chicago, threatens to blossom into a dynasty. Long since he has ball player of the country, he comes on as the premier distinction. And that is not froth, either. Amstel got the best aggregation of colored players in the games she answered in the games she schedled a little tough, Rube, himself, mounts the sturgeous pitcher to victory; all around, pitcher he is proud baseball age. He is喜 up in the years. . . . It is only a question of time when there will be a wheel of great negro clubs. We, the negroes, have about 100 teams play among ourselves. Now and then games will be played with white teams, but the games, the games will be played with negro players and before zero audiences. Both players and audiences will be coming up with a worth of big club building up with a splendid big town with a splendid bunch of colored folks, and who have the fine old Kentucky sponging blood of a big club playing is brought out in their community they will know and support the team. The Tune Foster is proving at Chicago. As the A. B. C. S., of Indianapolis are proving and those visiting teams are growing from time to time. Here is not only pay—good pay for the players, but good travel, fine sight-seeing and interesting new experiences are supported in becoming style. Oh, yes, it is a serious business. If we view it from the pleasure and profit are practically limited. Those world tours; playing ball in Egypt in the shadow of the Egyptian frenewing ordinance of Gibraltar, along shore of that "middle sea which grams with memories" (George Ellot) and where civilization was wasted, was played by a member of the two final competing teams as it is much distinction as it was at its best. America's best game, be played by the best teams, and by the best players of those teams. Oh, baseball business is a great business. --- Rube Foster and baseball are synonymous; they are the same things. He has played for the baseball team. He has developed many men into the most players. His men, a number of them, are computerized with some of the most elite clubs that have paid him and his men the finest, compliment. They have admitted that color and personality keep a numbed man out of the league of white players. With this splendid personality, and splendid reputation, which will bring up the town, Mr. Foster will take the Mohawk Glants, the White Sox of the Louisville, will erect out of the two kind of team he has in mind. It is thought that this will be the best team from both teams. After this they will be under the supervision of Louisville fraternity for that purpose. Won Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati, the cities, the dream of the future, when perhaps a half dozen cities will be inked is beginning to take form. Mr. Kirk has have associated with him Mr. Dickens, now manager of the White Sox. 7. 8 Andrews, the expert on pugil- tism, recently had the following con- ference. The Queensberry code. There are two boxes that low boxers ever live up to, and that is in regard to conduct after that down an opponent. The rule states that low boxers be knocked down the other shall retire to his corner, and if the down happens to occur in that boxer's corner, the referee who is counting the moment the man on the mat take the moment the man on the mat this thing happened in one of the previous boots at Hudson, Wis., last week when the referee Tillman contest was held. The bout was between two welterweight boxers. The referee scored a clean knockdown. The man pushes the man away so that he was bet- to count over the fallen man. In the bout the referee, who knew better of the boxer's corner. The thing happens at every boxing show where a knocked down is scored. It is up to the promoters and the referee that the referees are thoroughly worn on this point and have them covering it. There is no reason why a裁判 to stand over a man who is knocked down in order to gain an advantage. MIXUP ON FLOOR IN DILLON. BROWN SCRAP. SOCIAL TWICE Roll Through the Ropes — Police Prevent Riot in Ring. TERRE HAUTTE, Ind., July 22—Jack Dillon, the best posseber, Beacur, in bed up to that name in every way, in ten- round bout, with George Cook, baseball player at the Central League baseball park by a lightning finish in the ninth and the rounds, when it appeared that he was to score a knockout. Dillon pushed that to score a knockout. He Greek showed a willful, and played a strong game of give and take. The fight took a very bad aspect in second round, when all signs of beating the lost sight of for about the last minute of the round, and the boxers wrestled about half of the time while they were on the floor. The fight took through the ropes, adding on to each of the rounds, until the end of the round, and when the policemen appeared in the ring it went to the bout manager well as his followers were angered by the first followers were bullied as was the second because necessary for overweight, and because force. Brown's manager from the ring went third round was angered enough, since seconds and backers of both men were ing to climb through the ropes nearly up to the time, and again the police were called time, and Tommy Dillon did his part nobly, but Tommy Dillon did check the boxes. That round ended the box, and from then on the bout was as pre- tent, and from then on the most exacting fight fan could ask for. Cry for Knockout. Dillon must be given all of the credit for putting up put, and the same can be said of Brent. The parents apparently grew stronger as the rounds passed on, and by the time the tenth round arrived the fans were crying and the bout with a knockout blow. While the Greek put up a game fight at the through, there was only one round which he won. He was his. In the sixth he bored in on Dillon and landed a beautiful right uppercut, followed by a left cross to the point of the shoulder. He hit the cover and stay there during the last half of the round, and was given a great round of applause at the conclusion. He said the fact that the crowd was with Dillon. In the preliminary, Sammy Trot, said to be the rightweight champion of Ohio, battled with Dawdar with Eddie Hart, a local product. Bud Pirrell, of Terre Haute, and Tennille James, went six rounds to a win. The team won more than three thousand people saw the fights, included in that number a Uniformed Rank, Knights of Python, here for the biennial encampment. IN SPORTING CIRCLES At the intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson river a few days ago the flowers of the University of Pennsylvania States met in the twentieth annual body race. In the contest were picked representatives of Cornell, Columbia, Penn State, and Wisconsin Universities, all primed to do their best work. The colleges of Penn State and Wisconsin, in any arena of activity, was creditable for resented at this national classic by Mr. Joseph E. Trigg, of Washington, D.C. being in recent years the only colored member of the big college crew of historic excuse University, winning his laurels in the keenest competition that American youth can put up. BOSTON, Mass—Henry Sullivan, of Lowell, an amateur long distance swimmer, who last year made an unsuccessful channel sailed for England last week to make another attempt. Last year Sullivan was in the water ten miles from the cross seas, and was forced to give up a few miles from the French shore, for constant training for several months. LONDON.—A slow-moving movie film has settled the question at issue in the recent Smith-Carpenter fight. Pictures of the fight show clearly that Gunboat was on his feet in the fourth round on the side of the head twice while the latter was kneeling. The film shows Smith in slow, which glanced off the Frenchman's shoulder, while the latter was falling. mg. Matt Wells, the former British lightweight, who lost his crown to Freddie Johnson, the ten-time championship of the world. Wells returned recently to England from Australia and issued a challenge to the ten-time championship offers to back himself from $1,000 to $5,000 a side. While in Australia Wells defeated Ray Bronson, who laid claim to the record made by Tom McCormick, who twice defeated Johnny Summers, holder of the record made by the championship. Considering the record made by Wells and his offer to back it up in a substantial way, there is no reason to believe the real title holder in so far as Europe and Australia are concerned. If there is any man in America who can have a crack at the world's title by getting in touch with Mr. Wells, he can have a crack at the world's title by getting in touch with Mr. Wells. Gunboat Smith and Carpenter were recently paid over, Carpenter receiving a check for $15,000, while Buckley received a check for his behalf of Smith, who was not present. SYDNEY, New South Wales, July 20.—Eddie McGourty, the middleweight pugilist, who is now here, has received a medal from the Club of London of $10,000 and expenses if he will fight Carpentier in London. McGourty has cabled his acceptance and is confident of being able to defeat the French. BORDEAU, July 18.—George Carpentier, the heavyweight champion, today won the decision over Kid Jackson in the fourth round of a boxing match. Jackson was disqualified for fouling. LONDON, July 20.—That the Jack Johnson-Sam Langford battle scheduled or not been, he said, make if the present arrangements go through, is the firm belief of William H. Roach, one of the leading writers in this city. The writer says both colored fighters should be allowed to and that the coming match may be their valedictory. RING BATTLES DO NOT DRAW BIG BIG ANY MORE. By Frank C. Menke. Championship ring battles aren't drawing as large gates as they used to in the old days. The younger generation had a $55,000 gate at the recent Jack Johnson-Frank Moran fight in Paris was a rather sizeable one, but it was nothing to get excited about. The younger generation that this was a championship battle and that it was staged in a country that was viewing a heavyweight championship fight The Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno on July 4, 1910, drew the biggest gate in history—$270,000, not including the money which is said to have been something like $55,000. Of this amount Jeffries got $111,000 and Johnson about $100,000. and Kid McCoy staged a five-round scrap in Madison Square Garden many years ago and the gate amounted to nearly $57,000. Corbett and he saw a $63,340 gate when they met in San Francisco in 1903 in their second battle. The Sharkey-Jeffries fight staged in Coney Island in 1898, and which Jeffries Fitzsimmons, wonderful fighter that he was, never drew well. The biggest difference was a trifle over $40,000—the fight with Jem Hall in New Orleans. It has been said that Fitz never got his share of this gatechase that he fought for almighty. The Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight in Carson City,卷子 away from "Gentleman Jim," drew only $22,000. Fitz got less than $5,000 as his share. Fitz and Sharkey drew $18,000 when which Fitz lost on a foul. Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin drew over $30,000 when they battled in the same town a short Nelson and Gans Drew Big Gate. The Joe Geldain-Battling Nelson bout in Goldfield, Nev. in lightweight battles in lightweight battles. The Nelson-Jimmy Britt fight at Colma, Cal., drew $4,311, another huge figure for a lightweight fight, and one hasn't been approachable years. Jimmy Coffey, with the "Dublin Giant," wore a jersey with Jack Johnson. Coffey came from Ireland to New York some years ago, became a subway guard, took his train and then took up the fighting game under the teaching of Mike Donovan, the old middleweight winner. Coffey, in the opinions of those who have seen him in his New York bouts, with Johnson. Coffey has quite a punch, is finely built, and has a lot of courage, but he isn't a boxer by any means, he is said that Richard Croker, the THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Those who have seen both Chip and McCoy have been told that they will then declare that Chip is a far better boxer and hitter than McCoy and that they meet again there will be nothing more to prove against McCoy against Murray in two bouts in New York and the opinion of the boxing fans was that Murray outpointed McCoy on the first day of the tournament. And then Chip came along and knocked out Murray, after having him helpless almost from the start of the game. LITTLE ARTHUR STIGAL LAYS THAT HE DID NOT JACKIE MOORE Sporting Editor The Freeman: Dear Shr-I recently read the record of the 1913 heavyweight champion, and wish to say that he a knockout over Jackie in a battle that was not a fight of 1913. I do not consider it sportsmanl- like for Mr. Moore to omit his defeat, although he fought a man in the light- weight title. I do not consider loved lightweight title and I am open to defend it against any colored boy world at 135-140 pounds, $100 side bet. Little Arthur has an interesting career, men of all classes, white and colored, on both sides of the Mississippi. He played for Kansas City, Mo. Never was knocked out. Photo appeared in Police Gale. He was a member of Had as manager and trained, E. C. McGruder and J. W. Swift, who managed the team, the time he knocked out Jack Johnson. SOME TIGERS DOWN IN LOUIS IANA. The N. O. Bae Ball Club Met Some of Them; It Ate the Most of Them. The New Orleans Greenville Baseball Club is just back from a pleasant road trip. They visited New Iberia on the 15th of June, and defeated the Tigers to Opelousas, met some more Tigers and beat them, 24 to 0. We then went to Alexandria. We will must say that the Tigers, their Tigers, for everything else is O. K. We played them nine games, winning five, losing two and one tled. Then we went to the ols of this part of the State, and lost two, which is always the best thing for the sport). We then went to the home of the Governor of the State, where we had a nice time and won one grips and one home one of the Great Nebraska Indians on the 19th and 29th of July.

The Jackie Moore Championship— Boxing Slack Champion of the Colored Boxing I see in your paper that Jackie Moore and his manager are claiming the featherweight championship of the Moose. He has not beaten me yet. He has had a chance to fight me several times and did not accept. I do not claim to be something and then pick out my man, Jackie Moore. I do not claim my weight, and Jackie must knock me out to sustain his claims. I will box him in St Louis Labor, say, any day. I will be seen, they drew 3,000 people in Kansas City to a show. If such is the case, and Mr. Bean will guarantee me 2,500 people, I will be a percentage basis. Now if Mr. Bean and Jackie wants to box some one try me for the title. Yours truly, Kilda Fields, Champion Feather of the World. In looking through the sporting columns of your paper I do not see where there is any boxing going on in the country, but I hope it will revive soon after the sultry season is over. I have picked up a new boy. I am going to use him as my sparing partner. He will be the best teammate and match him with O. R. Bess out at the Northwestern ball park Labor Day. I will match him with Bess for a ten week course in any way. I think he can beat Bess and he is willing to do as I say. He is a featherweight boxer and by good handling I think he will be hard to beat. he makes me step in my workouts. This is the best of West Baden any time. Yours truly, Kid Fields, manager, 212 So. Ill. St., Indianapolis, Ind. I also wish to answer one Lean Jones of Oklahoma City. If the gent will help me with business plops up I will take care of the gent nicely. This is going to be the busiest winter I have had in a career. I will be running there now and the next think the light and dark will mix again in those large events in all classes.
