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.

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.) 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. 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. can- didacy, It is thought that he will be guided altogether by developments as to what he will do. Editor T. T, ‘Thomas Fortune threat- ens 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, accom- panied by a prominent group of newspaper men, will make a three- days’ trip through New Jersey, be- ginning September 7. ‘The citizens of that state are making preparations to receive their distinguished visitors. It’s a little early for the distress sign, isn't it? Mr. Taggart seems to be having a time getting speakers for the campaign. Why should he worry? No one else is worrled. Mr. Beveridge is announced for the Pro- gressives, But that shouldn’t worry any one. St. Petersburg, the Russian ' cap- ital, 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 te cousiderable.

Madame Hack ley is bottled up in Paris. Other prominent colored people from the United States are there. A news note from London says: “Among the pas Sengers from Ostend just arrived is @ blind American Negro, who says he has been singing melodies at Belgian watering places for twenty years.’ Belgium fs no place for a blind man at this time. However, if this singe has had twenty years of success he ought to have nothing to fear beyond sisay billets. Several colored cierks in the government service at Washington D. C,, have been promoted, owing” te their efficiency. Some say, the recog nition is insignificant, having in min¢ the tendency to cut the race out of the larger places. Looking at it vo litieally, the promotions are wortt considering. Anything the Demo erats may do for negroes will coun! in spite of what may be expected. O1 course, that party would stand bette with them if it does more, But ac cording to that party's history as i concerns the race we will do ver} well if it does not strike at our citi zenship, not to speak of fanciful jobs Confederate veterans, recently in session at Little Rock, Ark, began a movement for a memorial to the ex. slaves 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 mas ters who were at the front fighting for the Confederacy. The suggestion is very thoughtful even should the monument neyer 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 ‘concera 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 dent 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 lynched citizens_any more than other 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 pre- cede them are no less a menace to society than those they think to get Tid of by their lawless actions. Governor Blease, of South Caro- lina, went down in his candidacy for United States Senator. It will be re- membered that he thought very poor- ly of the Constitution under certain conditions. He was very much blamed at the time and by the peo- ple in general regardless of the sec- tion The concensus of opinion was that the constitution should prevail under any and all circumstances: As an executive head of a state he com- mitted an awful blunder, He tried hard to reconcile himself with the people by would-be herole 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 of prison, showing an abnormal quality of heart. This peculiar goodness, however, could not outweigh his pe- cullar badness. When the ballots told their tale the other day another man was nominated as the Demo- cratic nominee for Senator of the State of South Carolina. It is. qitficult 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 coach- es. In that they may operate sepa- rate coaches they have won largely, and quite unfairly, even if consid- ered necessary, owing to racial con- ditions and racial relations. The col: fored people have practically con- ceded the necessity for the coaches fn face of discrimination, a thing which is no proper part of a govern- ment. ‘They can not rest contented, however, under the double con- tempt, if we may so call it, that of Jim Crow coaches, and that of poor- jy equipped coaches. It will be re- Membered that the colored patrons pay the same fare as others pay, really making a third enforced dis: advantage. The colored people are simply asking for well equipped coaches. If they pay for them why caii® they get thom? J. J. Fortune, the well known news- paper man, is mentioned as the prob- able editor of the Washington Sun of the District of Columbia. Mr. Fortune has long enjoyed the distinction of being the dean of the Negro news- paper 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 newspa- per 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 be- come incapacitated. Mr. Fortune and his kind go right on, and likewise, im- proving with age. No Osler theory for the newspaper folk. Henri Wat- terson is still dealing out wisdom as he did before the war. There are no earmarks of age on the literary out- put, or if there is it is the kind that's for the better. ‘Hxperience, wisdom and judgment make for the most ac- ceptable 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 Ma- cauley’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 sites have marched to Rome.” * r 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 so fitting 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 fur- ther simplified, that the thought be fully enjoyed by those not acquainted with the classies, “Arretium” is sim- ply a proper name; the name of a state or province, of ancient Greece, perhaps. “Umbro” is the name of a stream or river where the sheep are 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 Macauley, He thanked God for Lord Bacon, insisting that He never graced the 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. Tn the verse quoted trath 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 incapicitated, 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 mo- ment one forgets the horrid war in contemplation of those beautiful pic- tures 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 hurtling bomb. The brawn and intellect of nations, and which have been so carefully conserved for this advanced day of civilization, are be- ing spent as the Mississippi sends its waters to the sea, 5 ‘The world and age are not due the calamitous struggle now on. As long as there is a will there is a way. Kil and princes are not exempt trom the consequences of introducing so much sin in the world—so much rapine— 8o much murder. Christianity will call these to account in some way or it will be called to account. Sich a shocking war will either shake up Christianity or shake up those respon- sible for it.

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 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. 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.

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.

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. He says Ruble's Louis one is playing satisfactory ball, but remains on the team. In this respect it is similar to the renovated A leader of the A. B.

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 . . . 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.

"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.

Applegarth, the English sprinter, will not be allowed to compete for a month for the Amateur Athletic Union championships games at Baltimore, it was announced here today, because of his injury. The Club meet in England. Applegarth sprained his thigh and back while playing a race, and his physicians, according to information received here, have advised against his participating in any athletic event the remainder of this season. Steve Farrell, coach of the University of Michigan track team, says the Springfield sprinted, in a 9 3-5 seconds man for the 100-yard dash is the fact that Drew has been caught so soon that he is not in distance. "When you see sprinters flashing around 9 4-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash, one of these fine days this same sprinter is going to get under this time."

Hertzberg's men can make it interesting for America's best in all branches of track and field RETURN MATCHES SOMETIMES HURT THE GILISTIC GAME. "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." 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. 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. NEW YORK. NEW YORK. Sept. 2.—Lafayette Hall, corner of One Hundred and Chirru, will soon be the scene of flastic encounters between the two companies were filed this week by Rome L. Dougherty, the new club, which will be known as the Lafayette Athletic Club. Charles McFarrier will act in the capacity of treasurer. The coming of the Lafayette Club football team on one of the colored people of Harlem. Mr. Dougherty has promoted several athletic events among the colored people and has organized a big football game between two of the largest colored colleges. He is backed by the McMahon brothers, and if successful, the game will be staged at Loxon Oval. Mr. Schaefer, who is putting up the money for the Lafayette boxing team, recently gave his manager carte blanche in making the club one of the best it not the best that he has ever seen. Joe Jeanette, or Blackburn will be the first to show his wares at the Lafayette boxing commission passes favorably on the application of the new club. 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. However, vegetabilistically speaking, the ear is never cauliflowered until it has been dried. The ordinary formula followed by the pugilist is: Bruise, booze, lose. 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. Johnson, brunette, had a fight at Reno, one one James Jeffries as a lay figure. Once then Johnson has had a hard time keeping white women from putting him out of business. This fact has had no effect to lessen race prejudice, however. race, prejudice, nowever. **wooldin's** woodish *scribbling* his courtship and its course we may expect Jack Johnson's story of his *American* love affairs.

Something is knocked the place where we kept our memory.

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. We told him he did not know, but he had better ask the centipede upstairs. No, we never entered the ring. The Freeman one dollar for one year ONCE TRED, ALWAYS USED.
