Thompson are scheduled for reunion the day after abatement of the Red Caps' Protective Association, September 7. J. Finley Wilson, editor of The Washington Sun, is to be master of official head of Red Caps' Association. The event is to be held at Eureka Park, Anacostia. W. Calvin Chase, Jr., is said to be an active candidate for the principalship of the O Street Vocational School to receive J. M. McGraw, an incumbent. There will be no vacancy in this position in the near future, as far as anyone is now able to determine. Miss Marie A. D. Madre, one or the race's most brilliant young women, a member of the women's organization of the women's Federation at Wilberforce University. Miss Madre is president of the women's Historical Association and will begin her fourth term as such in October. She is the second of her sex to be elected post and more than two terms in the thirty-four years of the organization's history. Miss Madre is a graduate of the University, and is speaker of rare magnetism and intellectual power. Miss Vivian Lucile Thompson is at home again, after a delightful visit to the Middle West. Her itinerary includes a visit to City and Richmond, Ind., covering a stay of eight weeks. Next month she resumes her work as director of domescience in the Whitted High School in Richmond, N. C., beginning her third year. Miss Pauline Batties, who has been taking a special summer course at the University of Pennsylvania, phil, spent the week here sight seeing, en route to her home in Indianapolis, where she is an unusually capable teacher in the public schools. She was also given her mother, Mrs. Renrlette Batties. Congress is here for an infrequent period, on account of the general war in Europe. Messrs. Frank A. Byron, of Chicago, and Fred D. Cracken, of St. Paul, are doing some excellent work with their assistants in the work of a substantive touching legislation for the benefit of the Negro race. The colored people are glad to know that Attorney-General J. C. McReynolds has been nominated to succeed the late Justice Lurton on the bench. He is the only man in the States. He is a capable man and has a proper conception of the relations of all citizens in the Constitution and that every article means just what it says. Mr. McReynolds is pleasantly remembered by Bo-Americas as the "warrior" for reappointment as municipal judge of the District, and to the race the job as assistant district judge, held by Lawyer James A. Cobb. Former Register Judson W. Lyons is practicing law successfully here, with branch offices at Augusta, Ga. Capt. Lyons has been a member of the 18 of 19 who the wisecrest say. He is loyal to the best interests of his race, and was for years the Georgia member of the Republican National Committee. For some unexplained reason, the Hon. Calvin Chase, editor of The Washington Bee, failed to attend the Muscoo Conference and the Business League. Considerable comment has been occasioned thereby. Saunders Will "Stay Put." Nevertheless and notwithstanding, there will be no change in the principalship of the O Street Vocational School, and the District will not stand for such an outrage. The "charges" preferred against him are purlie and will not be considered in serious vein by the level of his education, the number of which have correctly sensed public opinion with reference to the matter. Assistant Superintendent Bruce has no notch in the school system to meddleless outsiders, who have only a selfish motive to serve when they force upon him unsolicited advice of his advisors. Mr. Bruce knows the deceitfulness of a bunch of fellows who pretend to be his friends, but who have the knife ready for his fifth arm in the courage of his convictions. Mr. Bruce is or is principal Saunders and cannot be bluffed into deserting the man who has always been safe bet that J. Moria Saunders as principal at the O Street School will "stay put."

Saint Louis, Missouri THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER PARIS UNDER MILITARY GOVERNMENT—BLUE MONDAY AND BRILLIANT TUESDAY—COLORED PEOPLE CAUGHT IN THE DRAGNET OF WAR. It took over two hours for each one to get to the office door. The people too kit good-natured, for as the men ask it. 'Two women fainted while was there, but nobody, but their the hotel early every return about at night, with what I have see have heard, and I have heart that all will be w (By Madname E. Azalin Hackley.) German greed for territory has plunged all of Europe in a most deplorable condition. I went out at six-thirty Monday morning to see what a siege meant for the world. The city "looked like Sunday," for once. Even the great art gallery, the Louvre, is closed. It was like a gorgeous panorama without music. Events and changes follow so rapidly that one is left breathless. There are no motor omnibus, for they have taken the soldiers to the frontier, and this was unless one takes the Metropolitan (subway) or the trainway. Hines, which are few in number. Both of these have shortened hours and are packed to the limit. Many of the services both have been cut from the service, and all of the service is now a night. We are under military rule and are supposed to be in the house at night. Everybody reads the papers as he hurries along. The size of the dailies has been reduced to one sheet, and some are not much larger than opera house programs. Happiness and stores are closed or closing. Notices are in the windows that proprietors or the "ouvrliers" (work people) are mobilized or have enlisted. Stores which are open have a closing period of 10 hours. The overworked employees' dinner and a rest. I watched some of the lace and bric-a-brac warees at the Bon Marche, which is to be converted into a hospital, if necessary. The menus are very scarse, since most of the courtyard is an opera house region, which is a long walk. All of the big magazines (stores) have large menus, and they are no sidewalk displays. Here the big stores do a thriving business in "Soldes" look bleak and sidewalk. The big stores look bleak and sidewalk. The big stores at Au Printemps (spring) hundreds of women clerks are making a cross arm embroidery with red crescent by hand. Others are making kaki bags, cross flags and other army necessaries. Women are making in silence the people watch the nimble fingers, for every French girl can sew and embroidery. War is in the air! There are distressing scenes of parting in almost every corner, and they are to make love and are ardent lovers. Such kissing and kissing! As they leave their homes, they are to return to raiding in taxis, they kiss and caress until the last moment. They will turn perhaps for the last time. Traops, war wagons, red cross wagons and the class of the bugle add to the army's regular, unmistakable tread of horses as the mounted troops pass. Great processions of horses are the usual government or voluntarily turned over by owners) are being led to the frontier. Each soldier leads and controls the horses. Taxis a, b, c hurrying and scurrying, while the big auto wagons help with a terrific rumble and the same booting of cars. The army's private automobiles are being confiscated by the government. Many Americans have been obliged to grow up their cars, like beautiful white birds. At night or early in the morning one may hear the peculiar whizzing as they pass high overhead. No one is permitted to pass through the gates of Paris without a permit. The great circle of earthworks known as the various "Portes" (great entrance through the various "Portes") The people are exhibiting signs of galeen excitement as they start singing the maracas Sunday night and early Monday morning, but the police immediately stopped all noisy people from entering the military governor, who has issued a notice for "sang froid" (calm). In spite of them we have been many small demonstrations, and we have been a great wide, thick, loaf of bread, waving the bread and crying "Vive le France, we are frequently seen. Sometimes we are compounded by their wives and sweethearts. I saw an Italian sympathetic demonstration here are always young boys at the rear of the school, and I find that the Boy Scouts are well organized in France. Members were taking up collections along the Avenue de la Ville. If it were not for the papers we would hardly realize that a war is going on. We are from the windows of private houses, Wagons, taxis and cabs carried large flags, but the gendarmes compelled them to leave. Now they are carrying small flasks. People are wearing little flags or bows their tri-colors. Some English wear the British tricolor. Some Americans wear Old Glory in miniature combined with the French drape. The French people face starvation, but some Americans wear a hat too. The stores and shops are selling the tri-color ribbon like wildfire. One may imagine the scene. It looks like a war zone of July rather than a preface of war. Everywhere one hears "La France this day," the French are located discussions are corners in the "Mémoriam" street corners, and women are in the discussions. The women are the backbone of any anyway. They have to work with women in that must be seen to be appreciated. The women paper sellers rival the men; they work with men yell the various editions at night, terror grips my heart less thousands have been slain. The women press against the German shopeepeers are pregnant. Windows are broken and the shops utterly de- fense. They have a wife, both naturalized Americans, but with a telltale German accent, who have recently moved here from America. They return to their apartment in the Montmartre quarter. The neighbors to tear the man limb from limb and belong to the class that might do the The feeling against the Germans caused a crowd of men to go to detention on the Milk milk shop on Rue Brea. The Maggi people are Germans, so the French government has designated all their money, about $400,000. I watched a shopkeeper with a German name paint "Maison Francois" on the wall of the milk shop. This was precaution, walked to the American Express office early on Monday morning I met a distressed elderly American woman. We read the early bulletin for New York. We told her story. She had lost her trunk in the hurried departure from Berno, where men were acting like drunken men. I went with her across the avenue to see when the office of the American consul would be open. When she found that avenue such publieues were not open, I went on 0'clock there was a wealth of sarcasm that the consul would have Then I went over to the American Express office to draw my money, and to take a picture of the Express. I fund for my ticket. I was number eight in the line before the door of the Express, ahead of me had all night from Switzerland. In a little while we noticed that lines of people were walking in the doorway. Cook and several steamship offices, especially before the Hamburg-American office. On the doors opened the line was around the corner, and there was a terrible crush. Those who came last were the first to enter. From the same ship that brought me over were the first at the cashier's window, although they were last to enter. The line outside the door but not before the office was jammed. French people had crowded into get fifty dollars, and the line outside the door but not before them. "No bills changed." They sputtered and fumed, but they pushed nothing after crowding and pushing Americans, who had a right there. Thomas Cook soon went to smash house and England needed the money for the war. The steamship offices was ill-managed and go out of business, early. The New York Herald had warned the Americans and Englishmen to go directly to the police station nearest to their hotel to get a "lalszej-sour" paper to stay several days or to get passport if one intended to leave at once. The consul's office is on he third floor of the New York Herald. Three flights of a wide staircase were packed with American and Englishmen using bags of introduction to the police police It took over two hours for each one to get to the office door. The people in the office said, "We do this at baseball time." Two women fainted while I was there, but nobody, but their hands, touched the People. They too anxious to get their papers to be polite. When we received our papers, they looked like children, but we took it like children. I noticed several colored people behind in the line, but they were unaware of them, looked like servants from their clothes. When I went to the restaurant at one of the cafes, I found that green girls were being present in service as waitresses. People were assisting themselves all they could. The people (top) and I find that all of the new hands are too busy to remember this time, are their real salary. Many restaurants as well as the hotels are out of business. Nearly all the restaurants announce that they will go to war or are forced to close because they are out of one to do the work, or that they will change the money or that the prices have not been mented. It keeps one buy reading all the books, and in windows. There are even poems on statues. That of Joan of Arc is decorated with flowers, and a big patriotic poem. On which is written a patriotic poem. After dinner at one o'clock I went to the Grand hotel which the New York Herald vertised in the morning. There were no chairs provided in the gold and silver room, but the chandelier of crystal and mirror walls, but the Americans, with their customary woman carried her own chair. There were about 1,500 to 2,000 present. Many stories of hardships were realised in money. Some women tried to change a hundred-franc bill ($20) for a woman to get a chobi would give a cent. Small chobi virtuous as gold. There was a motion to take up a collection, but people were not ready to pay the government pay for the cable. While there were some "buckers," as I heard a man call them, it was a treat to see them, and their things, yet all were strangers to each other. They simply ordered the president and Mr. Bryan to send for them. A man who had been looking forward to the "transport," as a part of the trip and its experience, and are jolly. Even the money are not particularly worried. He heard many stories of hardship, and he was not surprised. Fourteen and fifteen hours from Zurich, Switzerland; others had walked a portion of the way out of Switzerland. He was on the line before the American Express many had had no breakfast. A man who had been a little stubble and brought hot back coffee and ice cream. Still all these folks swapped experiences laughingly. He was some of the man had been held at the French frontier until the various bags and trunks he was examined to see if they contained any food. At least forty-eight hours, and yet they laughed as they told the experience had no need to collar or pair of shoes for possession. Those who persisted on going to Europe were about baggage, for no trunks were worn. They were worse off than if they had remained here. London advertised that it had been easier to pass on own people and those who had early passage booked on English steamship lines. Many of those booked for "La France" could not get to the ship, as the railroads are being used for the passengers are only allowed to book passengers are only allowed to book (about 120 pounds) of baggage in the hold and one piece of hand baggage. London has twenty-six trunks and not a a sou. Here one woman has bought her baggage, so she has 90. Others were equally unfunny. Women of means seldom carry much money because they use checks and the baggage is often stranded, so we are told, to comfort those who have only checks. Many American women and girls are going to a district station. The fetching white costume and the arm band is very attractive. Many American men are volunteering for the army. On Tuesday morning I stood in line to buy my sessejour to stay) and my disarray police station. If I had gone earlier I would not have been obliged to wait, and only arrived about nighth-irth. A number of Turks, Japanese, Norwegians, and well as scores of Americans. One must be sure to get his "to stay" paper be prepared to get his passport (which costs about two dollars) and may be required by any railroad service for several days. Each paper can provide some identification. My gray hair is rare in France (the most important thing where dyeing is a fine art) the young clerk wrote down that I was "gray-haired" and best to follow identified, although "colored" was not added. My gray hair has served me well on this occasion. My best to follow one's own thought, I will relate two occurrences where we were in line, from the consul an elderly, intelligent English-speaking Frenchman in company with some American women in my landlord. He insisted with that I should not return to the consul's interest that I return for this. I said, "No, if a letter from a consul would not overbalance one from father's landlord, then I should also take the rent," that there was no need of a consul. I had stood up to get that paper, and did not intend to lose my place. Of course, at the time I received my "laissé-gelou" paper. Just afterwards an American-Zhen�han came to hunt two young American women in order to help them. He assumed them that he had not got their papers, that he had been refused. He had brought a call (a temptation when cabs are rare) and would bring them the next morning. The American girls, with true knowledge and confidence and grit, said that they preferred to stay. They received their papers also. I have not seen a black, brown or "high-brown" French soldier yet. I have seen hundreds of French blacks as well as call themselves. Since the omnibusies are not running most of the people follow the boulevards, which are the main arteries of traffic, and I am continually meeting "colored" people. I have seen many American coal-mined people and he desired to speak to some of them, but they gave no evidence of cordiality. On the Avenue de L'Opera I saw one colored woman who shook her head at me as if to say, "This is bad." I bowed and smiled, but she passed on a stool to see if she read the New York Health Bulletins. She stopped a moment, but as the news is printed in both English and French I was still uncertain as to her nationality. I stare at the women who were present for a sign of recognition, but so far I only know four of those I have met. The complaint of the American woman who ambassador's office is prevailing clerks took a two-hour lay-off for a woman who would not have begrudged one hour to the tormented clerks, but many of her walking, had come long distances, and there were no chairs or places to sit, besides many of them had nothing to see. I saw some of the black bread that was used in 1870. I hope that it would have been a friend's friends who showed me the bread have a book of prophecies which is wonderfully written, and says that heads of the yellow races would invade Paris. This seems a true prophecy also, for the Japanese are the many Japanese children also. A Yale professor who is staying at the president American friends who are spiritualists tried to convince him that the general clerics had clarified they said, "Didn't we tell you so?" This Americans here have a little money are not worried and they say, "Let our government send for us," that can do "things." One can get no seats, places as they can, them, and you sailing in a French liner if he secured a booking. I intend to wait, and I will be there when that transport and have the same rare experience. One does not mind paying a high price for an unusual state of I am well and contented. I leave the hotel early every morning and turn about six—filled to overflowing with have seen and what I have heard, and hope I cope in my heart that all will be well. Others here are Miss Helen E. Hagerty, New Haven, Conn.; Miss Jessie Fosse, Winston-Salem, Conn.; and teacher in Washington, D. C., two other young ladies; Prof. Rufus Kunickey, graduate of Oberlin, piano teacher; and another professor from Howard, and another teacher.

President Wilson has nothing to say concerning a second term candidacy. It is thought that he will be guided altogether by developments as to what he will do. Editor T. T. Thomas Fortune threatens to back up into the editorial traces. The Washington Sun seems to be offering inducements to him. May be he's getting ready for the next Presidential campaign. Dr. Booker T. Washington, accompanied by a prominent group of newspaper men, will make a three-day's trip through New Jersey, beginning September 7. The citizens of that state are making preparations to receive their distinguished visitors. It's a little early for the distress sign, not it? Mr. Taggart seems to be having a time getting speakers for the campaign. Why should he worry? No one else is worried. Mr. Beveridge is announced for the Progressives. But that shouldn't worry any one. St. Petersburg, the Russian capital, it will be remembered, is no longer that by name. It is now Petrograd, changed by imperial edict because of the German form of the name under which the city has been known since its foundation. What's in a name? Verily the Czar thinks there is considerable. One of the Freeman admirers has it that "news ain't no news until you see it in the Freeman."

Other prominent colored people from the United States are there. A news note from London says: "Among the passengers from Ostend just arrived is a blind American Negro, who says he has been singing melodies at Belgian watering places for twenty years." At this time he has not been told that at this time. However, if this singer has had twenty years of success he ought to have nothing to fear beyond stray bullets. Several colored clerks in the government service at Washington, D. C., have been promoted, owing to their efficiency. Some say, the recognition is insignificant, having in mind the tendency to cut the race out of the larger places. Looking at it politically, the promotions are worth considering. Anything the Democrats may do for negroes will count in spite of what may be expected. Of course, the promotions would stand with them if it did not happen. But according to that party's history as it concerns the race we will do very well if it does not strike at our citizenship, not to speak of fanciful jobs. Confederate veterans, recently in session at Little Rock, Ark., began a movement for a memorial to the exslaves by way of a monument. It was proposed that the monument be erected at the State capitol and in the interest of the Negro slaves of the State who so faithfully guarded the families and property of their masters who were at the front fighting for the Confederacy. The suggestion is very thoughtful even should the monument never be built. The intent is as good as the deed. We can rest assured, that the race is in evidence when bodies of the kind can turn from the deliberations that immediately concern them to thoughts of us. It was a courageous pair the sheriff of Paris, Ky., and his wife who held back a mob of fifty men who were bent on breaking the jail in the effort to mob a Negro prisoner. It will take this kind of action to bring respect for the laws. We have nothing to say in sympathy for the Negro who is accused of an ugly crime, even in that he was saved from lynching. It is not the point. We do not expect men to mean the same races expect them. The laws are sufficient for any sort of offense, and such being the case the individual or set of individuals that think to precede them are no less a menace to society than those they think to get rid of by their lawless actions. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, went down in his candidacy for United States Senator. It will be remembered that he thought very poorly of the Constitution under certain conditions. He was very much blamed at the time and by the people in general regardless of the section. The concensus of opinion was that the counsel should be offered a better set of circumstances. As an executive head of a state he committed an awful blunder. He tried hard to reconcile himself with the people by would-be heroic utterances about the superiority of blood-race and so forth. Nothing, however, could justify his speech, which meant the striking down of the laws of land. He virtually said, at such and such a crisis substitute anarchy. True enough, he let a lot of men out prison, showed the quality of blood. This peculiar goodness, however, could not outweigh his peculiar badness. When the ballots told their tale the other day another man was nominated as the Democratic nominee for Senator of the State of South Carolina. It is difficult to understand why the railroad companies operating the so-called Jim Crow coaches would not gladly comply with the law requiring equal accommodations in such coaches. In that they may operate separate coaches they have won largely, and quite unfairly, even if considered necessary, owing to racial conditions and racial relations. The colored people have practically conceded the necessity for the coaches in face of discrimination, a thing which is no proper part of a government. They can not rest contented, however, under the double contempt, if we may so call it, that of Jim Crow coaches, and that of poorly equipped coaches. It will be remembered that the colored patrons pay the same fare as others pay, really making a third enforced disadvantage. The colored people are simply asking for well equipped coaches. If they pay for them why can't they get them? J. J. Fortune, the well known newspaper man, is mentioned as the probable editor of the Washington Sun of the District of Columbia. Mr. Fortune has long enjoyed the distinction of being the dean of the Negro newspaper men. He is getting up into the years nicely, but is none the worse on account of that. After all there is a sort of evening up of things even in this world. The poorly paid newspaper man has no wings as it concerns his wages, but he gets there just the same. Men in other pursuits retire before they reach his age, having become incapacitated. Mr. Fortune and his kind go right on, and likewise, improving with age. No Olsier theory for the newspaper paper has been developed out of wisdom as he did before the war. There are no earmarks of age on the literary output, or if there is it is the kind that's for the better. Experience, wisdom and judgment make for the most acceptable literary compound. Mr. Fortune can thank his stars that his long life renders him not unfit for his calling. Long live Mr. T. Thomas. REFLECTIONS DUE TO THE WAR. Following is a verse of Lord Macauley's, from "Horatius at the Bridge," which we saw reproduced in one of the daily papers of this city, Indianapolis, a few days ago: "The harvests of Arretium this year old men shall reap, This year young boys in Umbro shall plunge the struggling sheep. And in the vats of Luna this year the must shall foam Round the white feet of laughing girls whose sires have marched to Rome." It is needless to say that the verse is illustrative of the great war now going on in the old world. The lines are soitting and beautiful that they are worth reading many times and then saving. They seem as pearls that should finally be melted down and drank out of sheer desperation as to what best to do with them. As simple as the lines are, and to which, their simplicity, in the greater part, they owe their beauty, we feel that some of the words should be further simplified, that the thought be fully enjoyed by those not acquainted with the classics. "Arretium" is simply a proper name; the name of a state or province, of ancient Greece, perhaps. "Umbro" is the name of a bread or wine, or the shoppe washed. "Vats" is the name of the great tubs in which the grapes were crushed for wine. "Must," the grape juice before fermentation or new wine. The girls crushed out the grape juice with their bare feet. When it comes to beautiful and clear expressions encompassing both art and intellect, we should thank God for Lord Macaulea. He thanked God for Lord Bacon, insisting that He ever gave earth with another such a man—the same Bacon, whom some men claim wrote Shakespeare's plays. The old saying runs, "There's more truth than poetry in what he says." Plainly, poetry has been suspected of taking privileges. In the verse quoted truth and poetry are handmaids; they are of equal beauty. Really, truth is rarely anything else than beautiful if ever. Of course, it is sometimes damaging, but not to every one even when damaging. How true it is that the old men, the incapacitated, now reinvigored, or drawing on their physical accounts, thus hastening the total exhaustion at their life's bank, are harkening to the recall of life. Their sons have marched away leaving the unbinded sheaves afield, trusting to Providence that they will see their own again. How touching is the struggle of those at home to keep afloat. For the moment one forgets the horrid war in contemplation of those beautiful pictures of pastoral life—plunging sheep in Umbro—the must foaming about the white feet of laughing girls. But there are other pictures, and as if compensation—war's distraction, the hurting bomb. The brawn and intellect of nations, and which have been so carefully conserved for this advanced day of civilization, are being spent as the Mississippi sends its waters to the sea. The world and age are not due the calamitous struggle now on. As long as there is a will there is a way. Kings and princes are not exempt from the consequences of introducing so much sin in the world—so much rapine—so much murder. Christianity will call these to account in some way or it will be called to account. Such a shocking war will either shake up Christianity or shake up those responsible for it. There can be no escape. AMERICAN GIANTS WIN FIRST THREE GAMES Wickwire, Wade and Jenkins Trim Eastern Champions. (By Cary B. Lewis.)

The public seems to have great confidence in them and is rallying to their support. Enthusiasm for the Giants has been added. There was not quite as much rooting for the opposite team this week as has been manifested. **American Giants Going East.** The American Giants are scheduled to go East some time in September. The cracks of the West are in great demand in the East, and it is said they will be several days to wrestle the championship.

The visitors were in the lead, but Foster was pricked up their ears and won, 7 to 6. Adelbert Roberts Presents a Floran Design. Mr. Adelbert H.

CHICAGO, Ill., August 23.—The great series between the East and West will be on Sunday. Nat Strong's Royal Giants of New York will begin a series of games with "Rube" Foster's American Giants. The Royal Giants is the greatest team in the East. It comes to the� as the victory from the West. They have with them such great players as Webster, catcher; Thomas, second field; Bradley, first base; Handy, second base; Clark, short stop; Bragg, third base; M. Bismuth, pitcher; Harvey, pitcher; Earl, left field, and James Lyons, right field "Klondyke" and Walter Speedy believe that the Giants will be able to hold their own. They are making books. Thousands of fans will be there, they'll "pull" the home team. Every loyal fan should be the with colors flying for the Giants. While the home boys have had a slump in batting with the Cubans, they are still in fine condition and expect to "bring home the bacon." Rube says his men are in good form and can be depended upon the same. The same reputation of Chicago and the West. Mr. Shooker is making arrangements to seat 10,000 people. There will be a band of music to certain the crowd. All the automobiles are gagged for next Sunday. Visitors are to see the battle between the East and West. No Rain Sunday. It has rained the last two Sundays and it has no game left. Foster has talked to the other men in the room and assured him that there will be no rain assured him that there will be no rain. The ladies are getting their goods ready, and many handsome ones are expected when the East battles against the West. Boquet to Be Presented There is some talk that a bouquet will be given to one of the American Giant play- ing to one of the American Giant play- ing. Saturday's Game.

Umpire--McCarty SEEING THE HAGENBECK-WAL- LACE SHOWS-RAIN THREAT- ENDED BUT NOBODY CARED- SEEET GETTED WITH PEOPLE -ELEPHANTS AND CAMELS WENT RIGHT UP INDIANA AVEN- NUE. Indianapolis has become a sure good thing as a show town. Just say two words, and that's a plenty. Those words are "Show," and the date, and there you are. A great outpouring may confidently be expected. The weather has a little particularly "hasty" to keep the folk lions on show day. Last Monday, according to program, the Hagenbeck-Wallace combination showed up. In fact they were in town the Sunday previous. Many persons took advantage of the presence and bied themselves to the unpacking, where they saw the business in the multiplicity of parts—in all of its be-widerment. The show paraded the principal streets Monday morning, where it was most cordially welcomed by eager children, and also the older ones, and in whom curiosity was yet instilled. I have said before that Bohemia loved its own. Well, it was there to receive its own. The children are Bohemians by nature—to gad and wander about are their long suites. A large per cent of the quality lingers into manhood, womahood and for the better. All of these come to the parades and go to the shows. The parade was about the same—of the stereotyped form. Some elephants were messy and messy, some plaited that the Young Buffalo Bill show had no elephants was contented. Some elephants were some, some camels came right up Indiana and the Lowery's band was a feature of the parade. Elwood C. Knox, of the Free Theatrical Company, Lowery's, as a standing engagement with the band men on top of the band wagon. He reported for duty. His many friends were there to find him the morning of the show. Pretty women, good horses, amusing clowns were some of the other features of the show's abundance. They were greatly admired by the boys and girls. The display of animals was notable. They were in the crowd, and in the most part seem contented. On the grounds the people surged and the crowd the top was a success. The small show was organized. It was here that Prof. Lowery held forth, as he manages a show and a mixture of minstrel and vaudeville. The professor has the reputation of being the best road. Perhaps his show is the very best. And it ought to be, for he carries with him high-priced people, and he is well known among the tent season closes. Junk Edwards and wife are well known performers, and they are one of the best comedians on the day. The band personnel is as follows: P. G. Lowery, Thomas May, Leslie Park, Edwards, Emmett McCormick, Edwards, Amos Peppers, altos; Earl Granstaff, Al Fredericks, trombones; Reuben Meyer, baritone; Wm. May, Wm. Hare, Chris, Chris Alexander, bass drum. Also two well known performers. Miss Gilbert makes a splendid interlocutor. Every number was well received. The band is a large charge of the serving department, are from this city, Indianapolis. They were met by the staff of the hospitality of their department. Among them was Edwards. The P. G. Lowery bunch was particularly friendly and sociable. They have many friends in this city and have been a molly when the bunch comes to town. AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATRE (Tim E. Owsley, Prop.) "A house of good shows" is an excellent trade mark, and if used it should be followed up. Owsley, who is referred to at times as *Jim* or *Izard*, one would think, is a good example of a "house of good shows". Perhaps the thing of good shows is not understood sufficiently, as much as the manager would like to give what he concedes to be the best shows; he must compromise with the team. The performers must do the same. As popular shows are understood to be, *Manager Owsley has been giving them the best shows*, but that goes in all business. The most careful merchant gets stung occasionally. For this week is particularly good. The bill is really entertaining and a good example of the variety of work being done by colored performers. As a student of the progress of Negroes, the bill Alonzo Moore, Magician. Alonzo Moore is thought to be the best magician in the business. He does not have a lot of money, but colored novelty acts in the world, and until I see something better, I will agree he is. He has reason to be what he is. As a magician, he is Herman or Kellar, which one I am not so sure. He caught the skill of his master. His slight of hand movements may be slimy, but they are murvelous. There is nothing clumsy about him: no awkward move, no awkward turn, no particularly true of his paper tearing trick. He is deft with the little balls between his fingers. He trick where he calls forth a "demon," is his finale and I suppose his masterpiece. Wrapping up individuals with a charm for those who would do mystery- ing things. Moore announces that it is a delusion; it is, yet it defies the audiences as to how it is done. He carries the audience on his shoulders. He money. At times the stage is a scene of rabbits, ducks and chickens. With these he gives a seat and enjoys his entertainment is oriental in effect. He is costumed accordingly. Mr. Moore gives very well of the Fiskars, he says that for two years it was responsible for the engagements he had. And during the time he contributed only the nickel each week with which he worked, he recorded according to his present arrangement he will soon close in vauduille. He will open his own show. He would like to hear from Chau Collier, of the Southern Ora Crisell—Monologue, Character Singing. Ora Criswell has the distinction of being the leading comedienne of the colored performers. For two seasons she has been the best in telling that time that the Crown Garden patrons learned to know her and to like her. All like Ora Criswell. One reason she has been so popular is that seems to enjoy the character. Some performers seem to wear the black paint because they have it to do. Ora forgets that she is wearing Olivia—a thing that is plain to see. And after all, it simply means good acting. She does a new line of talk, wholly new to the audience, and unable to the character portrayed. At one point in this monologue she has to stop until the audience permits her to go on the story. It's the way she does thirings. She does a parody on "All Night Long" she has a most satisfactory, tuneful voice which she can make soulful enough to start singing it. She can turn it in a moment to a minicircle that tickles all. she also does her "When I was a baby" singing it as Ora Cresswell only can sing it. She was greeted with good hands on her first appearance each night. The Ragtime Trio—Planologue, Singing and Talking. Rosebai Thomas, Norma Thomas and Buster McDonald are the members of his style is styled Trio. He is dressed in ragtime Trio, a rich bit, especially at the close, but mainly the act is classy and clever. He is a medley of good things. Norma is a good straight, and he also sings well. He shines at the piano. His own version of "The Mock-Up" is a great medley of good things. The work was well appreciated. He also supported the others in their solo work in the style as an accompanist. This was Norma's first solo work. Thomas she sang Last Night Was the End of the World. This proved a splendid contralto soloist. The song is arranged low to suit her voice. This makes her last notes, which rise somewhat high, more pronounced. In form she super commanding and she also attractive. Her mouth when singing is ideal. She is richly costumed. In the last note she sings "A Dream of Love," she reminds one a bit of Sophia Tucker. She also sings "Just a Dream of Love," in which she is joined by the other. Buster McDonald has a new line of comedy which is good. His steps and attitude are good. His "Hill On Missouri" was done in a taking style. The team is new to this time. It is making its way East. It will make a hit on any bill. The Blank Sisters, Classy Performers, Slacom Arseola and Brilemma Blanks are favorites at the Crown Garden Theater, where they have appeared successfully for three seasons. They enter singing "At the Ball," accompanied by pretty movements. They responded to an eroe. Bierlema, who has a rich contralto, sang "In the Garden of My Heart," which ARSCEOLA BLANKS. BIRLEAMIA BLANKS. was well received. Arsceola sang "Down in Amazon Land," which met with generous response. They close with "The Memphis Blues." All through their work was picturesque and effective. They are handsome girls and appear to good advantage in their appropriate costumes. Good Gravy Davis and Fiddler Walton Musical Art. This is a **t** team of musicians all right, playing on a variety of instruments, dolls with equal ease²² Perhaps their best thing—at least the most unique—is the bottle of Walton's four-star solo piano bottles, arranged as chimes. Both Davis and Walton play these bottles, extracting good music from where nothing would Walton is a violinist of ability. He will play four-star solo piano with his organ imitation but still a delightful classic, "Traumerei," in good Davis was at home on the mandolin and the saxophone instruments, which he used to play. He made a hit with his saxophone playing of "Darling, I Am Growing Old." In rough, they do a clever line of talk with Walton, and dian. The act is a satisfactory entertainer. AT HIPPODROME THEATER, GAL VESTON, TEX C. Huff. Manager The Russell Owens company of fourteen performers opened at the above- mentioned theater Monday. August 11, and since that time has been the public sentiment that this is the best and clearest aggregation that the company played in Galveston.

Not going as big as she did in Detroit, but he was one famous Earl Walker, who went fast and died the death of a dog. He was not done, and did not make up, with out cork, to death.

With every one of the 1,800 seats taken and standing room at a premium, the New American Theater threw open the doors to an amusement temple for all the people—colored included—and inaugurated another Negro enterprise at the capital of the city of Los Angeles. The playhouse was formerly known as the Lyceum, and for a period long past the memory of this generation it has been one of the standard entertainment centers of West Coast varnished and modernized, painted and upholstered anew, the American was folks who used to frequent it under the old auspices. The new jessees are Messrs. Andrew J. Thomas and S. H. Dudley, neither of whom meet in the theater, but where the land. Each in his own way is a leader in the world of the thespian arena. America has never gathered together a better-pleased assembly than the imminent night to honor Managers Thomas and Dudley for their business courage and managerial sagacity, and to witness the initial performance of "His Excellency, the President," by the latest edition of "The Smart Set." "His Excellency, the President." “Him Excellency, the President.” As a new offering far and away the best this remarkable aggregation has yet presented and it more than lives up to the promises of the advance no-nonsense Springs,” a popular health resort in Georgia, and the story deals with the color, who have more philosophy, humor and appetite than cash. They are “geniuses” and “blow into town” in advance of an exiled President and secretary of state of Hawaii, traveling one of the periodical revolutions in their native land. The landlord and his ambitious and fashionable young wife, an official, mistake “Bud White” and “Dan Jenkins” for them, and attributes their trampy aspect to their previously concealed. The soldiers of fortune, in search of a square meal and some easy money, readily assume the role forced upon them by the secretary of the Haitian Salem Tutt Whitney as “Bud” and J. Hunt Tutt as “Dan” to take advantage of the opportunity to quip on the latest events in the political and military world, and many of their sage utterances are epigrams that while causing all to-laugh by reason of their adaptation to the comic situations the lines of last years’ “The Wrong Mr. President,” but stronger because of the speedier action, more closely knit than Liberia in the spotlight of the activities of today. The new music and TV showing of J. Hunt Tutt are high-class, but within the popular scope, and have the “punch” that makes a musical once an instant go with the whistle of the singing company that the Smart Set has always made its strongest bid. See also of the Striking Music Numbers. Perhaps the most unique feature of the show is the show of the national close, "Tutt's Todalo, in which the entire company works in single-file marching order, making several other shows, including the "Pondus" wings, taking four and five "curtains." This selection and Homer Tutt's, "I'm Just a Pickanniny" all Dressed Up, "The Smart Set by Lewis T. Thomas, of the Howard Theater management. The latter is finely rendered by Homer Tutt, and the other are the other girls. Whitney's rich fund of funnysims is admirably set off by his duets with Tutt, "Good Advice" and "Have Patience, Don't Sorry," and his burn-tango dances with Hattie Akers. Blanche Thompson, who constantly improves as a prima donna and an acces, renews the former triumph as "The Gone," and he beautifulizes the maiden, and her solos, "Romance Espanola," "All I Ask is to Forget You" and "I'm the good." He supports by choice to show her on her side, and the famous Tutt is not exceeded by the famous Castes, and is so he has been as good as the great motion "personified." When Your Country Calls to Arms, a drill led by Greenbury Holmes: "What You Need Is Ginger Springs," by Alfred Strauder and the "Pondus" wings. The Intruder Thee, and the ensembles "The Intruder" and "For Honor," stands out in bold relief as the big numbers of the world are the only things that give to the gives George Bovette, O. D. Carter, Lillian Williams and Goldie Cisco their opportunity to get a "hand," and in the last step of the world, he has been more into favor. Frank Jackson's tenor solo, (with octette assist), impressively renounced by the group. The only number of the last year is "The Smart Set Tango," which will be used extensively again during the coming season at all of the world. The show is the first to be called all of whom have parts that fit them like gloves, being written by Whitney with the prospective artist whose face is the most "White" Marshall, one of the originals: Hattie Akers, Helen Clinton, William (Babe) Townsend, William Dixon, Greenbury and Frank Jackson. O. Carter and Frank Jackson Whitney's High-Water Mark as Comedian. Without question, Whitney reaches his high-water mark as a comedian this year in his imminible role of "Bud" and has been effervescent and he seems to merge his entire individuality into the rollicking happy-go-lucky get-by character. On the road, he interacts with the audience convulsed with laughter throughout the evening with lines and "business" that "went across." He is the logical successor to Bud, the comedian of "Girl, Gryll, and Mr. Homer Tutt tells the niche once occupied in the guild of fashion-plates by Geo. Cornwell, assisted by the comedian Corwell, assisted by Laurence G. Wilson, who will take full charge after the show gets into its regulation stride. On the road, he interacts on the road, if its auspicious start in the most critical dramatic and musical atmosphere in the country can be accepted as a fair indication of what the future is to be. With the Players. Wells & Wells, who made such a pronounced hit at the Howard last week, Indianapolis, Ind., this week was the first colored team of trapezep artists ever seen here. They do a clever act and measure up to their plenty to do in colored theaters, as the Managers A. J. Thomas and S. H. Dudley were resplendent in full dress American Theater.

Leubrie Hill's Darktown Follies, took the place of Miss Goldie Cisco in the home and was not with Mr. Jones at the Howard and "mad good," handling the tango, the maxine and areoplane waltz as gracefully as if she had been doing the stunt all summer. She is a pretty woman and one of the best dancers on the stage. Sherman H. Dudley, Jr., son of the unoticious comedian, has been a familiar figure during the past fortnight with his father on the vitalo and on all of the motto roads in and about the capital. He has returned to Chicago, where he will re-enter school next month. Brown & DeMont are still prospering at Jacksonville, Fla. They expect to return in the early fall to the North and will probably opgn in their new act at the Howard. Miss Irene Middleton, cashier of the Hiwawtha Theater, will spend her two weeks' vacation in New York city, the guests of her brother. She will leave about Sept. 1. Miss Gertrude M. Ryan, after an enjoyable rest of two weeks, is again delirious due to the world by handing out tickets just where they wish to witness the Thomas and Dudley shows. She has gone from the American Theater to the grand American Theater. Miss Ryan's work in manipulating the crowds that came this week to see the Smart Set establishment, the grand set in her profession. Aunt Jane, the well-known hostess of the press, is entertaining the press northwest at her home, 811 Florida avenue northwest.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. 6 Over the river they pass one by one, And sad our hearts at their leaving, To give an account of the deeds they've done: And wet are our eyes with the grieving. Sturdy "old-timers" the way you've is guiding us now in our climbing; God rest and keep you as one of His own; but off for you we will be piling. The sudden emiss of Sam Corker marks the passing of another "old-timer." For many years Mr. Corker was intimately identified with the theatrical business of the company of the Cole and Johnson shows, much of the success of him familiarizing us with the detachable booth of Mr. Corker. He also managed Edgar Conner, the man who created the most popular acts in vaudville. Mr. Corker will be mourned by a host of friends. Although the weather is intensely hot and the toner theatergoers from attending the several colored theaters of the city, the toner theatergoers good business, with the Howard and the S. H. Dudley playhouses in the lead. The New American theater, leased by S. H. Dudley and Andrew Thomas, has been renamed the popular burlesque house of Washington city. It has been thoroughly renovated, including it one of the prettiest playhouses of the city. It was opened to the theater company in a new musical comedy, "His Excellency the Mayor." Patrick, S. H. Dudley's famous acting donkey, is still identified with the Smart Set company. Daily he may be seen in the theater, having a little care occupied by Sherman Dudley, Jr., cart and donkey being nounced the early advent of the Smart set show. Patrick seems to be realize of work, but he enacts the new and arduous role with the characteristic attitude of all self-respecting donkey. A letter from the two Weavers, Julius and Eula May, announces the continued success on the Pacific coast. It has been nearly thirty weeks since the newspaper clippings pronounce it one of the cleanest, classiest acts in the past. The members of this team were chorus people with the Southern Smart group at vaudeville, and were none sanguine of success. They opened in the town and wrote to me about the opening. He said, "The audience tried to hiss us off the stage. NOTES OF SUNNY DIXIE MIN STRELS. (By J. W. Wright.)

He is advised to make a clear distinction between the two, and to work with his wife this coming season in vaudeville. The two are bound to make good, as they are of the same type.

Baseball in Merry England—The Future of the Game Considered— Writer Says Salaries Are Ruining Baseball. (Bry Billy Lewis.) All Lancaster, the well-known baseball man of Louisville, through induction into Saturday on the way Chicago, where he expectingly Rube Foster of the American team. Lancaster, the baseball man, has not engaged with the game for several but at this time he is at liberty, as the stage people put in when not engaged. Lancaster was all sharpened up; his shirt was his ornaments; his wishes to break into the again—the cause of the visit to Chicago, perhaps, to form a team of players. Rube the key to the situation. He is the leading club, and its home is in the leading city for baseball among retired people. The morning that Lancaster was in Indianapolis, A. A. Taylor, the well-managed of the A. B. C.s, was approached on the way to Chicago. He made sure that, it was up to Roster. This seems rather rather since Rube is not much inclined towards Chicago in itself as a city, and consequently he is not a burry about Chicago in itself as a city, but is simply human, the meanwhile the prospective league meant to give more receptibility and profit to the game, languages, he character did not say positively that he mattered to Chicago was other than that of baseball, was thought that of baseball, was thought in Gueye's liqueur in New York.

I have in mind the sorrow owing to her dead body, making up to the beauty of our national game. Guess it's the way people are brought up in the country, can scarce be conceive of a civilized people not knowing baseball: at least, not living it after it known, around to the game. They are now doing it, and as best they can. Recently a game has been over on account of the general weariness of the players. The score: 1st 16 20 England 16 26 19 England 16 39 172 Perhaps the readers don't understand the above. It is not to worry that the English made 172 runs in the two innings, and that the Welsh made 96 runs. In the runs, another made fifteen. In the second inning a player succeeded in piling up twenty-five runs as his team took totals when it was all done and said. Says a report: "One of the players of the given title of 'baseball expert' by the editor-in-chief of the paper on which he works, wrote an article about the game over. This fellow is an expert on baseball and knows all the ins and outs of the game, being the article that he wrote in which he explained the game to those who didn't know how much more now." The expert's opinions in part, with comment of an editor on matters slightly dignity of crises. It is a strenuous and hustling, if not a highly skilled game. It has many merits. It has room for growth, the goal can be speeded up by professional football. "The impression that this match conveyed was that a splendid eye is seen, but which is no more than three and a half inches wide, is held at right angle. Then the expert goes on to describe some of the rules of the game. Here is the description of one rule, the rule of the ball being England. No one seems to know anything about it over here; he is allowed to miss only one ball which the wicket passes as a good one. On a second offense he is ruled out. One imagine what would happen if some umpire what would happen if Heinie Zimmerman after he had taken only two swipes at the ball." Four Homers in Inning. "The greatest excitement develops, declares the team, 'when only two or three men remain not out, for then hard hitting and quick skates to the home base becomes a The 'expert' tosses bouquets at one of the English players named Moor the Mower, four each in the first inning. In other words, Mr Moore seems to have pooled out four home runs. Continuing in the 'expert' assures the populace that: Smart fielding and accurate repetition features, but basemen and ball is nearly always in the air the necessity for a well cut and rolled field does . . . If one had the blues or were even threatened with that capricious malady they would fly away on reading that "experts" criticism of the game. It may be that some one is stringent in the case of the game. So, as Now and then, we see give the games in this country which had the most inings. Twenty-five and thirty innings were the most unthinkable. But, even if the game is two� "and the men fell from sheer exhaustion." And the men fell from the is that they don't know what they do. It may be in way of a piece of baseball folly. Focus the them, for they know what they have done. There is some doubt expressed in the wider circles of baseball about the future of the game. Some say the grab for color is a contribution to the game's "industry." For this, the new leagues make for distraction much like what one sees in the mod-circles with its three and four things. It too bad that it may be thought necessary to stay so many leagues. One course the game is not monopoly but nevertheless the va- reable league. Have tended greatly to the interest of the past. We like to think of it but its very best. This condition will never come about, but so much the worse for the game because it will never come about. Here follows some comment on the game by Peter the who is pretty well quaint in the the future for baseball seems in doubt. Attendance seems games this season on various reasons has dropped above average. Meanwhile the advent of the players League forced the salaries of the players record figures. The time has arrived for owners candidly admit they won't want to make both meet this year. The depression has hit the minor leagues. The league hurries the minor leagues have nearly doubled the rows have decreased in many instances almost 50 per cent. On top of all these missteps the Bears had boosted Prices. The Federal League has been through the best in a prairie fire, picking up a prime prize, and the league which had been the best of the minors. This condition comes in the throwen the smaller of lists in these leagues won't be able to play in these baseball times suddenly change for the "Detroit Internationals Ed Barrow of the players salaries the league announced if the same was to continue. big league clubs world asked owners with Barrow. "I salute" lowered, and in most cases the answers were in the affirmative. "President Harry N. Hempstead of the Giants drew a very gloomy picture for professional baseball. According to the Giants' owner, the minor league salaries and falling year with rising salaries and falling year with present condition, in the opinion of Mr. Hempstead, is most pitiful. And President Harry N. Hempstead, much better, President Hempstead, said. Salaries Can't Be Met. "Generally speaking the present salaries cannot be met by gate receipts. Many minor leagues have been badly injured by the tremendous rise in inward demand." "Following are opinions from other club owners: "President C. E. Thomas, Chicago Nationals—I agree with President Bush that baseball salaries are too high, and, in fact, I think they are out of the amount of service rendered by ballplayers." "President Joseph J. Lannin, Boston Americans—Many minor league clubs are in need of more players. Some major league clubs will surely lose money this season owing to increased expenses and lack of public conditions in Boston to date. Our attendance far exceeds last year, and I am pleased to pay increased salaries in a public so liberally supports us." IN SPORTING CIRCLES.

"Too Much Friendship" Is Shown When Rival Boxers Meet Three or Four Times, (By Ray C. Pearson.) When Joe Rivers, the Spanish-American battler who accomplished everything possible in the lightweight wrestling championship, fought Leach Cross, the sturdy New York dentist, at Los Alamos meeting of this pair, and this most recent clash demonstrated beyond all shadow of doubt that it is not good to test boys between boys who have swapped punches before. Promoter McCayre probably ally his judgment to be swayed by his friendship for Rivers. Rivers always has been a sort of protege of McCayre, but the tests between boys that has given Rivers more work than any other promoter. In fact, there was a time not so long ago that the tests did not adhere strictly to training rules and McCayre threatened to "leave him alone" if hard showed so strongly he was penitent that the promoter relented, gave Joe more ring work, and has been making champions for Rivers one of primal champions ever since. "Too Much Friendship." That's enough for the friendship part of things, so we will dig a little deeper into what we first started out to make plain—the fact that boxers who become too well acquainted in actual ring bouts cannot produce good battles. In this the public is greatly concerned. Perhaps a great many of the fans who sit at the ringside at every show staged in their home towns have not given the matter any great amount of consideration. Perhaps some of them figure that any kind of a fight, so long as it is on its merits, is good enough for them. But to the wise fish who wants to get all there is in the boxing game it is a far different matter. It is easy logic for anyone at all familiar with boxing that Rivers and Cross, familiar with, as they are, each other's life, could not put up a slash-battle with the sensational features such as the fans expect to see when they go to a boxing show. When they fail to see knockdowns they wonder why, and not a great many of them try to fathom the thing out. Rivers vs. Cross Case. For instance, take the case of Rivers for an example. His first battle was against his opponent's fortifications. He had a chance to find out a lot of things. He learned just how long a shot was supposed to be compared to himself. He learned the strength of Cross's punch and from what he learned tried to land with it. He found out whether Cross knew how to "stall" artistic defenses, defensive battles, and a ring. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER general. When he left the ring in New York he had a mighty good impression of Cross's style of fighting. On the other hand, Cross had the same chance to size up the Spanish-American. He could pick out Rivers' one bout was helpful to both fighters, although it was a no-decision contest, when they were matched for another bout in New York each had a pretty good chance of winning other. But the effect of this knowledge wasn't helpful from the public's standpoint, and their second meeting with Cross was a third time. They fought a third time and a fourth time, and the only thing that mattered was that at all would have been for one or the other to have entered the ring out of condition and to have been knocked out. Going back a little ways reminds one of the doings of Sam Langford, a former boxing great, few years ago had a number of "meal tickets" on his staff, for it was his battles with a few other fighters that the much needed change now and then. One of the "meal tickets" was Joe Barry, who hailed from Chicago. Langford and Jeanette. Time after time the promoters matched Langford and Janetette, and pretty nearly every time up to the winner on decision. They mixed in a lot of no-decision clashes and once Janetette was down, the winner decided that the battle was a draw. It got to be an old story, this meeting of the two teams meant that each other's way of milling that the result will be the same any time it was. It was the same way with Barry against Langford, with the exception of the last round and at all against the "tar baby." He received the knockout jolt on the jaw, requested the first round and other times later. He got so that he knew pretty well we had to play against the latter and the latter also knew what he could do, and did it. There were times when they went to the winner, and the latter also knew what he could do, and did it. There were times when they went to the winner, and the latter also knew what he could do, and did it. Langford might have been generous on these occasions and figured that Barry had had enough McFarland and Britton. More recent than this case is another, that which concerned Packey McParkland the crack stocky fighter who also claims Chicago as home. This pair have met three times and the chances are that there never will be another. The first meeting was in Memphis over the eight-round route. Both claimed that they had won although the time they haggled about another match, and finally were matched for a ten-round tilt, which was staged in Memphis. The meeting developed the undisputable fact that McParkland was master of Britton, for he handed Jack a good deal of the game on was on his feet at the final gong. Neither Araid of Other. That, however, was the end of good bouts between the two Chicago boys. They finally hooked in. Britton was MIke Mitre's ring. The result was that when they started into reaction they acted as if they had been friends. Britton knew what Britton would do with his left or right fist and Britton knew just how Packley would protect him. Neither boy was afraid of the other, and it was one of the punkest set-to-song struggles he had enough to do damage and at the same time to protect himself. Packley "stalled" a lot, and Britton couldn't do anything to make things interest- After the bout was finished the boxing commission suspended McFarland for "stalling", although it is hard to blame it to blame any more than his opponent. WILLARD IS LOGICAL "WHITE HOPE" TO DISLODGE JOHNSON. Black Battler Near the End of His String and Ripe for Plucking at Hands of the Big Texas There are only two heavyweight fighters in the world today who are considered the world's champion. Unfortunately for pugilism, perhaps, it happens that one of these possibilities is, like the champion Chuck Norris, known to the world over as the "Boston Tar Baby." The other is Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy, performance of Johnson in that odor-bearing contest of twenty rounds with Frank Moran of Pittsburgh. He who is the most known who are "in the know" that the Negro is just about ready for plucking. Johnson no longer is the invincible Johnny, but he is in Nevada four years ago. In fact, it is the general belief that the first strong young aspirant with a hard punch and a keenness to neverness will upset him. Langford Hot After Johnson. Sam Langford for years has been chasing Johnson. When Jack captured the championship by stopping Tommy Harkins, he did a diletate set sail for Europe in an effort to connect somewhere and force Johnson to any success, for Johnson was a wise bird and sidestepped so prettily that a Jack was evading the "Tar Baby." There never was a time since Johnson drew down a big chunk of money for fighting Langford. The persistent efforts of Langford now, however, seem to emerge without engaging in actual merger from which he will find it hard to emerge without engaging in actual Promoters of London have helped the cause of Langford materially, for Langford's $30,000 hand of $30,000 to meet the Boston battler. When Jack took a peek at Langford was overcome by his availance. He verbally agreed, but good chance that these two famous Negroes will get together. Fear Another Paris Bout. This battle, if staged, will be worth going miles to see if it really is on the square, but most people who know anything about the two fighters will be a bit wary about遨游着 the world. Johnson's recent film with Frank Moran in Paris was enough to open the eyes of the followers of the sport. The aftermath of that mill was one of the most another's double-crossing, and it is not hard to believe anything that drifts across the water in the news reports. A new single was sprung the other day in Chicago fan who saw the affair between the Negro and Moran in the French capital. This fan was also present in London when Referee Eugene Corri gave the decision that took the world's championship from Willie Ritchie. Dan McKettrick, who looks after the managerial interests of Moran, was a first-hand-selling star. He was the only book and was staged. He declared that an agreement for Moran to lay down in the eighth round had been entered the morning of the fight. Johnson came back with the first-hand-selling and told the truth. Johnson said the agreement made was for the bout to go the limit of twenty rounds. "You pay your money and make your choice," he said. "I know who is tell the truth in this case. Willard Has Chance. Jess Willard, the only other battler conceded a good chance against Johnnson, and the other rope, where he hopes to make a match with the champion. In tow of his noisy manager, Tom Jones, he would be able to hand a match with the Negro. In knowledge of the fighting game that Johnson and Willard, but the Negro, if he stacks up against the cowboy, will win, he would be able to play the game that he has run against in many a long day. It will not be a case of Johnson and Willard, contrary, it will be the other way, for Willard has several inches the best of Johnson in reach and carries just as much weight. Besides this advantage, Willard is game and cared for planting a punch on the jaw that will send an opponent into dreamland. Willard will willingly ask what the game is when the pion liked to meet when he was "good," but for him to try that game he had to be careful, what now that he has passed out of the invincible class, would be very likely the result in his coming out second best. As a champion Johnson is near the end of his career, he has a type that should beat him. In fact he has a better chance by long odds than he has by the other way around. He happens to hold a twenty-round decision over the Kansas cowboy. John Smith type—not big ones like Willard. Smith type—not big ones like Willard. THE LAFAYETTE CLUB, A NEW SPORTS CLUB IN NEW YORK.

SAYLOR ON WAY HOME AFTER VICTORIA RALIAN CAMPAIGN Milburn Saylor, the Indianapolis tornado, is what the Australian scribes have dubbed the Our Kangaroo Pid. Saylor was also the companyed by Ray Bronson and their wives. Since last January Saylor has participated in eleven nights of engagements were scheduled for twenty rounds and only three of them went the limit, the Indianapolis boy scoring knockouts in the game. Saylor lost two close decisions, one to Fred Kay, a Marathon runner, and one to Midge Newhouse on a horse. Saylor knocked out All Morey, Hughlee and the referee gave the bout to Shrugue. Milburn meeting with Shrugue, August 22. Saylor all but knocked Shrugue out in a twenty-round battle. Saylor knocked out All Morey, Hughlee, Tom McCormick, and stopped Hughlee meghan for the second time. Saylor won the title of Australian lightweight champion, home to meet Freddie Welsh, if possible, for the lightweight championship. In a letter Bronson writes that Saylor is the boy moreor than $17,000 in six months. JACK CURLEY WILL BACK JESS WILLAAM CURLEY CHAMP JACK JOHNSON Jack Curley, who hopes to promote the next fight in which Jack Johnson be engaged, recently had this to say. "This is in regard to taking over Jess Willard whom I have supported in reporting men, organized to have Willard beat Jack Johnson. The plan is to post $10,000 in his pocket. If Johnson or any friend of his wishes to do so, the $10,000 will ride as a side bat. This is the first man to be asked to take part in such a bona fide challenge backed with real cash has been issued. Johnson's stock answer: I want $30,000 for my end." This the backers of Jess Willard nearly have cent of it. In plain words, my backers stand ready to put up and lose $30,000, granting that the returns are nearly $10,000. In hand, if Willard wins they expect to make in a couple of years' earning, incurring around $10,000. $30,000 to 10 to 1 and they are willing to take the gamble. "If the war should terminate I will be able to take part in Johnson's signature. As for a place with a man that has the chance Willard to be opened up, Mexico, Australia, Europe (war permitting) will be open for the match." DREW TO BE IN MATCH RACE With Seward of Boston A. A. Club Formerly of Michigan University. Seward Wants Race 220 Yards and Drew Wants it 100. SPRINGFIELD. — Chairman W. S. Fitzgibbons of the Springfield diocese will have completed arrangements to have Howard,rewed, the school of the Boston A.A., and formerly the University of Michigan star and L. C. A. A. A. yard dash champion, in a special race. Drew wishes to have the race run over the century course, because the distance will be 220 yards. Because of this disagreement it is quite likely that the distance will be longer than the distance the former Michigan star feels confident that he can trim the local course and make it indestruct that he will have on trouble in breaking the tape first. However, no matter what the distance is over the course, the race is sure to be well worth witnessing. MIXED BOUTS DON'T GO. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—That there is absolutely no chance of staging a Jack Knife attack in Australia now or in the near future was the assertion made by Al Lippe, both trooper, light manager and then team leader, stopped off in Chicago on his way to New York from Australia. "Johnson was in Australia, and after he defeated Tommy Burns a law was passed prohibiting fights between white and black box- Lippe returned from the Antipodes only a few weeks ago, along with the team that was playing in Boston middleweight, who boasts of decisions over Jimmy Clabby and Ed Drew, for a short visit, and are due to return to Australia September 29. According to lippe, the tiger has not antipodes, but has antipodes, in that very few soldiers have been called to Europe, so says the tiger, in that very few injuries, and almost any old kind of an American scraper can "clean up," regardless of their standing in the States. NOT AMOUNT OF BRAINS BUT QUANTITY OF MACHINE FIGURS. GREESFUL FIGHTERS. Do brains help a fighter? "Noodles and knuckles," says Ad Wolgast, make a fighter. Too much brains rob a man of intelligence. Too much point to Jack Johnson. Young Grifo and Terry McGovenn as the great ring men who lacked brains. Intellect makes the difference. It takes names Paukey McFarland, Johnny Klibane and Abel Attel as examples. It can be put down as a mysterious trick. You can move faster than they can think. I don't know why. The best explanation is to pass is by vaguely as "ininstinct," which, as does it, mean anything in particular. It is highly satisfactory explanation for anything. It is sufficient to say that, for some reason, of which we know next to nothing, Johnson's muscles and his brain are so strong that he does not think what to do; he sees what to do. But how about Peckey McFarland? It cannot be said in his case that his intellect needs a boxer, but it seems to be not so much a matter of the amount of the intellect needed to make a boxer as the kind of intellect. Let us set up the most brilliant boxers now before the public and vivise Every one will agree that the following boxers top the list: Johnson, Clabby, Kilbane, Attell, Williams and Gibbons. These all are Irish, except Johnson, who is a Negro, and Attell, who is Yiddish. Taking up a little of the past, we collect one more Irishman and one more New Yorker. The Irishman and the Negro have one great characteristic in common—emotion-bility of mind. The Irishman boxes brilliantly because his mind shifts quickly. He is not "sot in his notions." He is not "sot in his notions." No Irishman likes long discussions. He is witty because his mind is always on tip tones. The Negro is mobile mind because his emotions are so strong that they sweep his judgment along with it. The mind of a colored man is a passenger a train and his emotions are the train. Abel 'Attle, the Hebrew, belongs to a man who sees such a chant from the Ghetto succeeds because he is always alive to what goes on around him. We see such a chant that escape other because the mind easily jumps to meet the new conditions. The conclusion is that intellect helps the conclusion is that intellect helps it quick to move. If he belongs to a race that is phlegmatic, slow, analytical, philosophical and moody, the smarter he is will be a better for his lifes to carry. The discussion coldly ignores such boys as Adolph, himself, and Bat Nel- Ad is one of the greatest fighters who ever heard the referee count out his opener and the receiver for the successes for the same reason that Gen. Grant beat Gen. Lee. He sees that superior strength and position win in the referee's eyes. He sees Ad's whole system of fighting is built upon the deliberate principle of not boxing, but rather slamming elbows and boxing gloves and faces the storm. Whenever his opponent fights hard, Ad closes his shell a little tighter and the opposing boxer relaxes his efforts. Ad tears into him and keeps on tearing in the unseen slaughter. All this is bookkeeping. Ad打 runs his fights on the principle of profit and loss. His capital contribution in the vestings in a twenty-round venture. All the blows that collide with his countenance he puts down to necessary losses; all the blows that he connects with his rival's face to profits.

Pugilists are healthy young men with a small desire to fight and an earnest yearning to get publicity about it. You can usually identify the rising pugilist by his cauliflower ear. practices.

The pugilist gets into print more than anybody else except the baseball players. The pugilist, when the fight is pulled off he is full of explanations afterward.

Something is knocked the place where we kept our memory. We remember mistily that a fattrion or something hit the left side of our jaw and knocked it out of place, and that before we could reach up to straighten it, knocked it the other side and fixed it all right. Then the little birdies sang. Next thing we knew we were sitting at the bottom of the stairs to the G. A. R. hall and a cop friend was asking us what was wrong.

The colored people are unconcerned because they are unconscious of existing conditions. Man is governed by his feelings, and not by his knowledge, which is the most illiterate or the otherwise. There were two plans of training given to the American people three hundred years ago. The one was to develop high and admirable qualities in the white master and the other was to develop the low of ignoble qualities. I am the black slave. The things that were put into our environment three hundred years ago are a part of that environment today. Every man, animal, bird or fish, when naturally trained, always are very active. I am the best thing that God ever made. That is the result of the training of a natural environment. But the Afro-American is being trained in an unnatural environment, which develops in him a spirit or feeling that he is less than a man. We are nothing more than our environment makes us. We must understand that the Afro-American must be given a system of training designed to make him see his defects and powers. Fifty-two issues of the best race journal published for $1.0p.
