Every woman can have such a skin if she wants it. This most wonderful preparation bleaches dark and discolored skins so that they become fair, clear and matchless. Every woman is desirous of either retaining or obtaining a fair, clear skin, and nothing so detracts from beauty as a blotched, muddy complexion; and we are glad to say that if you are in this condition or show any signs of becoming so, the remedy is within your reach. Would you not be glad to apply, upon retiring, a delightful fragrant, soothing lotion to your face, arms, shoulders and throat, and awaken in the morning to find a wonderful transformation already well begun? Would it not awaken your enthusiasm to see your skin actually becoming more white? All of this may be easily accomplished with BLEACHINE. Bleachine acts so mildly on the skin, smoothing and soothing the roughened cuticle, and, at the same time, removing the discolorations or sunburn, and accomplishing it all in such a short time that each morning when arising and looking into your mirror you are astonished at the change which has been wrought while you has slept. After a few applications you will see and your skin should be a few shades lighter, and if you will follow directions as given in each package, your skin will become fair and clear, and all spots and discolorations will disappear as if by magic. This delightful preparation has been perfected after a series of scientific experiments with the object of obtaining a lotion, which, while bleaching the skin, would not cause irritation, but would be soothing and pleasant to apply—and we present to you this fragrant, healing, non-irritating bleach as the result of our efforts. We look on our work and are satisfied, because it is PURE AND HARMLESS, and because it has STOOD THE TEST. For the convenience of those who find it difficult to buy the larger size bottle we are putting Bleachine up in 4-ounce bottles, which is enough to last about one month and for which we sell at the low price of 50 cents. So confident are we that Bleachine will do all we claim for it that we are willing to guarantee that if it does not bleach and beautify your skin, that we will cheerfully refund your money, so you see that you have nothing to lose as we take all of the risk. Write us at once and enclose 50 cents and we will send you immediately, all charges prepaid, this marvelously effective treatment and you will soon have the pleasure of seeing the dark, muddy color of your skin fade into a beautiful clearness, delicate and transparent.

So need for our extraordinary ADVERTISING RATES THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1914. The British don't want to ante too many vessels. A long ante is as bad as a big, bad bet. The campaigns between the Republicans, Democrats and Progressives of this city remind one of wireless telegraphy. Considerable seems to be going on but it is difficult to locate the source of activities. After all it appears that General Villa is the man of the hour in Mexico. He has insisted all along that the presidency was no place for military men. It will be understood that this is not a proposition that would fit every situation. It certainly applies all right to Mexico at this juncture. To accept either of the military chiefs as the ruling officer of that country by that country, would mean but a patched up peace, and ready to break at any time. This summary is simply that gained of man's activities in similar situations. Scotland was another such country, with its Scottish chiefs, cliques and clans. Until the mantle of neutrality and commonality which came by way of the British rule over the scene, there was no stable government in that country. It means that when the country is torn by factions that it will not readily submit to be ruled by factions. WAR'S ELIMINATION Indeed the present war is as an anachronism—wholly the unexpected of this age. When we hear of thousands killed in a day, the destruction of cities and the entail of woe and misery to innocent women and children, it is difficult to bring oneself to the belief that all of these things are taking place. Civilization has rapidly advanced in the recent years. Logically it appears that as it advanced barbarism would recede. All of the latter day inventions, including Zeppelins—the various kinds of aircraft—cruisers, submarines and Krupp "Berthas," should solemn warning to men that thou shalt not attack, but files against these deadly crimes of destruction; and knowing this there is no justification in the sacrifice. Somehow we feel to disassociate war and religion in time of war. At other times we are very careful for the souls of men. We are interested in their eternity. We are interested in the eternity of one man. When man sends men enmasees thousands at his source reckening in all of their worldly anguish; and we think nothing of it. Surely something is wrong with the world. The only seeming justification of the present war is that it presages the end of the whole business. Men will be taught, perhaps, by the horror of this day, to forswear the thing forever. This is a rather stern, awesome preachment, but if not this kind now, when? We that are not engaged may not have reason to think of the war as such an awful calamity; and yet we are touched. Our finances are running low, the wheels of commerce are clogged, even if we are spared our first born. It is to be hoped that that red wave will not reach us; that it is not up to the total world to contribute a share of that kind of sacrifice to insure a living peace. Rationalism may revolt such phantasy, but the thing has been dangerously near realized. The crimson wave has laved every continent in the world since South America and Australia. It may not be necessary to love every man's door to preach efficiently; we hope not. Men, good thoughtful men, think to see the breaking up of the ways—the old ways, and that this great, cruel war is the last stand of barbarism. It it means something of the kind. Men, henceance or recede, the psychology of it, they will advance is more reasonable, meaning the elimination of war. NOT A "WHITE MAN'S PARTY" Last week this publication carried an advertisement for the Republican campaign managers. Among other things it said that Albert J. Beveridge said, in a speech in Louisiana, that the Progressive party was a white man's party. The Progressive party campaign managers took exceptions to the advertisement in this particular. They say that Mr. Beveridge did not make such a statement, insisting that this publication make a correction to that end. The statement was in an advertisement from the Republican managers paid for by them. In spite of this suit is threatened this paper unless it retracts what the Republicans had of Mr. Beveridge. Regardless of our supposed liability in such a case we feel to do our part in seeing that we publish nothing, but the truth. We do this as cheerfully for a colored man as we do for a white man. We have done so several times. We do not wish to misrepresent Mr. Beveridge even in an advertisement with which we have nothing to do. After a long search Mr. Beverage's speech was found. It was the impression here that it appeared in a recent issue of the Indianapolis Star. It was also spoken in this. However, we think it did in a former issue. According to an article by Robert W. McBride in the Indianapolis News, of October 20th, Mr. Beveridge did practically repeat the part of his speech in question at Frankfurt, Ind., the same appearing in the Indianapolis Star October 8th. The original speech, if we may call it, the Louisiana speech, was made at New Orleans, the same appeared in the New Orleans Item November 16, 1913. Mr. Beveridge did not say, in so many words, that the Progressive party was a white man's party. Nor will it appear clear to every mind that he even meant that. This, however, is clear that he was insistent on demolishing the Republican party, and because of its history and reputation as they concern the Civil War, meaning in part the negro question. Mr. McBride sets that point out nicely in his article. The speaker, introducing Mr. Beaveridge, at New Orleans, said: "It is inevitable that we should have the Progressive party in the South to oppose the Democratic party. White rule has been settled for all time, but the memory of the terrible struggle by which it was established has perpetuated Democratic control. This has led to too much materally associated with what Mr. Beaveride said, when he said: "For no sensible northern man expects any great number of southern men to vote the Republican ticket. Northern men would not do that if they and their fathers had been southern men and had gone through what the southern people have gone through. Human nature stands in the way. The deadly blow which the war struck every home; the many years of carpet-bag rule; almost worse in its hardships than in the war itself, have built a lasting tradition which southern men must trample down before they can be Republicans." Mr. Beveridge could have meant merely the memory of the war and not those reminders of it, the negroes. From here sprang the inference that, in the essence, he said that the Progressive party was to be one that had no reminders of the war clinging to it—even to the negroes. But we say again that he did not say that the Progressive was a white man's party or anything that could be construed to mean definitely so much as that. What he did mean is left to the readers. In his speech the ex-senator called attention to the peculiar condition of the South in that it had but one party. There were sometimes factions of that party but to all intents and purposes there was but one party. He said that they could vote only one way, regardless of national questions, regardless of their belief. The South, said he, must vote for that party, the Democratic party, whether of good or bad principles, whether for Cleveland and Sound money or Bryan and silver, whether it be of extreme conservatism or radicalism, whether for its welfare or its undoing. He then offered his party, the new party, as the hope of men who would have a larger share in the theatre of our political activities. He would have but the two parties, the Democrats and the Progressives, through which to fight the way to the political millennium. He would eliminate the Republicans, as a first rate party, at any rate, and with them the Negroes, as it is thought he meant. "OLD DOMINION DRY." A few weeks ago we had something to say concerning the question of prohibition. The Phalanx, a publication, white, a prohibition organ of this lofty, reproduced the editorial with comment. Our editorial was as follows: The "Old Dominion," the state of Virginia, went dry this week by a great big majority. California is making a great effort to do the same thing. The election is but a few weeks off. Times seems to be out of joint for the liquor folks. They, however, have a way of coming back—vide; Kansas, Malne and some more Honest regulation, we think, is the most satisfactory thing. Prohibition can do very much along the line of endeavor, but it cannot keep a determined man from getting a drink. The immorality, if at all, is not in the drinking, but in the excessive drinking, which means personal debauchery and ruined homes. However, in communities of most drinking, these things are but incidents. The great mass moves on sober enough in spite of the groggeries. This sober mass, however, the men, are not above taking a drink—if not in the saloons, then from their private stock at home. Tennessee is the thing, real temperance, rather than prohibition. No man that drinks thinks of stopping drinking on account of the laws if he chooses to drink. He merely stops drinking publicly. The scrutiny of the law, of course, greatly reduces drinking, but the scrutiny cannot prohibit. The very poor man is the only one who really "suffers" for the want of a drink. He can not buy it by wholesale—cannot buy a whole bottle. In fact, prohibition laws are virtually laws of discrimination against the man who has only ten cents at a time to pay for a drink. We know that the laws "make out" that they try to prohibit "importation" of the stuff in dry districts. The very men who make these laws are the best customers of the package—the mail order business." It will be seen by those who care to read and be fair that the editorial was more of an exposition of what we conceive to be the true situation than anything else. The Phalanx in its comment raged about our views, even going so far as to say that there were misstatements, but, that it did not make its comment for the purpose of correcting them. There is nothing to correct. Every line was thoughtfully written and as unassailable as those parallel lines of the Allies and Germans have been, up until this time. We reproduce the editorial for inspection; it will stand muster. For more than one reason we refuse to reproduce the Phalanx's comment. In the first place it is lengthy. But we wouldn't mind that if it were written in what we think to be the proper spirit. True enough we did not stand for prohibition, nor do we need to. We stood for a much greater thing. We stood for the truth. The Phalanx is a prohibition organ; its duty is plain and clear. If we never, it has no right to see peculiarity, blinded because we, or other persons, do not see things as it does, or do not care to wage a war as it does. That publication cannot have but one view on the liquor question. It must be narrow; cannot give and take. It can give but it cannot take. The Phalanx was discourteous in reaction to what we knew, have in mind, we were merely The Phalanx tried to arraign us saying we made misstatements; it said in this connection: "It is not true, however, as intimated by The Freeman, that these laws are aimed at any one class. All are included in the prohibition and the entire population will become more and more abstemious as enforcement becomes more effective." We are unwilling to discuss seriously a question with any one who willfully misrepresents what we say. What we said is seen in the reproduced editorial. The assertion cannot be successfully assailed. The man with ten cents to buy a drink suffers for the want of a drink under the most of these laws, and not the man who can buy a bottle. Is that so? The question is to the public, as we will not continue it with the Phalanx or any other publication. Finally, we wish to observe again, that we stand for the truth. We are not partisans of the liquor people, yet we have nothing against them. The people of this country are divided on the liquor business. Indiana has dry counties and wet counties. In one election some go dry, at another election these dry go wet. The majority of the people use liquor. It is opposed as playing cards are opposed, because of the evil of which it has been the cause. At the polls women, men and children are lined up to fight liquor down. The men who drink, line up against liquor very often because of its reputation, the reputation of barrooms. Women and children are against it from sentiment as well as otherwise. But in spite of this, liquor is put down, when put down, by some very narrow majorities. What does it mean? Is it necessary to ask the question? It means this for one thing, that we are not alone in thinking that temperance is the better thing, could it come about. We will not discuss the white lies in dry communities, the underground railroads, the blind tigers, the individual traveling saloons, the kegs of nails and the rest of it, much of which is winked at. But we promised not to discuss the business seriously. THE REPORT OF TUSKEGEE The report of the principal to the trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute for the year ending May 31, 1914, has reached this office. Dr. Washington has set out plain statements of facts which are both interesting and informing. He speaks of the great cost of publicity and the extension work, but thinks it justified in that it keeps the cause of negro education before the country. He generously includes Hampton in his observation, saying, "Every dollar that these two institutions expend in exertion is helping the institutions in the South, and the whole object of negro education." It will be noted that his generosity is unbound; he sees through his own program of activities, the ultimate uplift of the race. At the close of the school term, May 28, 1914, the institution registered 1,527-896 men and 631 women. These came from 32 states and territories, and 17 foreign countries. In addition to this the average attendance at the Children's House, the training school, was 201. The average attendance during the agricultural short course was 275 and the average attendance during the summer school, last year, was 412. The report says: "The most important permanent improvements that the school has ever undertaken are now under construction. These improvements when completed will cover the following: Power distribution and fire protection system, including wiring of buildings and grounds; buildings for new power plant; boilers, chimney, engines, generators, electric wiring, transformers, etc; power piping and steam conduits; sewerage system and disposal plant; ice plant; cold storage plant; railroad extension. The water supply and fire prevention system has been completed, and the equipment is charged. Work is now going forward to rearrange portions of the general plan, but at least two years will probably be required to complete the whole. Mr. Walter G. Franz, of Cincinnati, the engineer employed to lay out the system, estimates that the total cost will be $274,612.00. For this work we have received or have been promised $166,071.31, leaving yet to be secured $108,540.69." The principal goes on to say that in this construction valuable concessions have made by the company and the engineer who waived certain commission rights in the interests of the institution. Dr. Washington is very grateful for this, viewing it the same as substantial donations. Since last June $1,600 has been given for the erection and equipment of new laundry building. Two individuals from New York have given $3,000 for a canning factory. The legacies received during the year are of two classes, amounting to $341,719 and $86,018.6, respectively. Mr. Washington speaks of the effective work done in the summer school. He has been the work of training these 412 teachers during the summer has been done aside from the use of buildings and apparatus, at a cost of $825.00. It is estimated that 450 to 500 persons will attend the school the coming summer. The educator pays a fine compliment to Mr. J. L. Sibley, a southern white man, whom the general board of education of Alabama, has employed, giving all of his time to the supervising of the negro schools of the state. He says, "No finer man could have been found for his work and no better work is being done in the South for education than Mr. Sibley is doing under the supervision of the operation of Mr. William F. Feagin, State Superintendent of Education." The report says that "The year's budget provided $250,957.33 for current needs and $19,609.77 for improvement and equipment. To meet this total budget of $270, 567.10 and the obligations of $115, 600.30, with which we started the year we have received to date $315,643.48. The total receipts for the year, including current expenses, additions to endowment, permanent improvements and for special purposes have been $473,764.92.

HAYNES' New Releases in the Photo Play World. Scrip Praises Haynes Pictures. We have hitherto severely condemned Mr. Haynes, because we felt that he was wasting a large amount of time and money in worthless scenarios. Writers are born, not made; and it is certain that Haynes does not belong to the author's portfolio. He is a journalistic talent that when employed by Pathe and by Hearst and Selig make their releases a distinctive feature of the series. Hunter Haynes is worthy of a place, side by side with Bert Williams, our greatest comedian, the late Ala Walker, our greatest dancer, and Anita Patti, our greatest singer—New York News.

It weighed 48 round roses and bailing photos in it and had them pressed in the cotton making a frame from which it is making an awful hit with everybody who see it. We bought it for 65 cents a hundred for plucking, but they refused to accept it. So the following day the entire company went to an old fashioned southern dinner and they certainly must have had a bake that they never get tired of talking about. GRAY & DUNLOP.

AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATRE WITH WILLIAM SLEWY, PROPRIETOR, The patrons of the Crown Garden are enjoying a good bill of attractions this week. **JINES & HILL,** The Original Kolored Kandy Kids. Jines & Hill present some very talking numbers. They have that peculiar something which it takes to make an act go. They are costumed well, esse tiful for every turn. Her body has a change ful and appropriate. She is lithe, petite, this with her wardrobe makes for Miss Hill's singing nicely "When I Want a Little Loving," and does some pretty steps. She makes a good straight, with expression and in a pleasing way. Jines is a comedian all right. He is entitled to class among the good ones. His comedy wins as much by his inter- esting performance, with he sings. "By Myself," a song hit. This is also due to his clever ability. His particularly good with its deep full tone in the house. Here is indicated a downright singing ability. "By Myself" is Joe Simm's latest song success.

PARKER & BROWN Parker & Brown are a happy, joyful part of girls who please by the joy they have good expressive voice. Both of them have equally humorous and entertaining. Lottie Brown sings "I Wonder Where I am" is Gone in good style. The beautiful song "Hold, Hold, Love" is sung by Henrietta Lapta. She sings this prettily, giving it the sympathetic treatment necessary for such a song. She was applauded nicely. Their "Dixie Land" is a pretty bit of acting and singing. The little skirt is produced by a brief monologue by Miss Brissette. And Miss Parker. After a few words they get together and are bound for "Dixie Land"—an entertaining finale. Willard Davenport, Georgia Davenport and George Lomxn. The trio closes with a skit something on the plantation order. It gives variety to the act and shows up the versatility of the performers. Colored scenes aren't much for plantation scenes, but the act as a whole was good. Trixie Smith, the Blues' Girl. Trixie Smith is the girl who sings her blues, and she composes them. Her "Melody Blues" big hit. Her other songs are also nice, and she is something of a monologist. Trixie's 'em. One immediately thinks of Sis kiddo, who she says some strangely funny things.

Eve- 5 line, his star, is still doing the tango. Bowny & Semewire, following, went on to appear in the screen. Bowny's "I Don't Care" still goes big, while Miss Semewire is charming, and Bowny's fine. Their finish is great. Lookout, here comes Mule & Jeanette, who closed. Everybody knows them who have never had a chance to see them. Jeanette is still singing Mule's "Baldy Jack asks for his donations." J. Lubrie Hill and company are playing at the Acadia reporter and was a corking good show. Billy Harper had a severe cold, but Gillie Toots Davis can certainly dance.

Songster, went big on her number. J.

Say, some mistake is there; Even cruel cruel Death Wand the low love so rare. Dead! O tragedy supreme! Dead, inexorable, Has claimed our loveliest queen Shut down our loved breath Gazing impotently The mighty conqueror, Death, Stalks by unmotifying, Fresh the tremenous fair The sweetest plant of all, Nor marks our deep despair, Nor hears our frenzied call: O Death the brave hand! Spare this, the choicest one! Death heeds not our command; Look not, the bloom is gone. Come in the dawnning light. Come in the chaplet night. Come in the stillly night, Even then Death cometh soon. O the unwelcome guest In every clime and climate Nor perpetrate thy quest. Nor reckon place nor time. Yet, one solace we have we That God love has given The boon of memory, The hope we'll meet in heaven. Dead! Ah no, this cannot be! The sole call we have Draws the veil from eternity. Dead! No! God in His great love Has garnered this precious flower To transplant in realms above. Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky that hurtles downward and strikes with armor, like the sudden blast of death, like the unpleasant kind, unlooked for cut that the Brutus gave to Cesar, was the blow that Death, the mercies despot, gave, when he was the best, the late lamented Aida Overton Walker. It unexpected was the blow that it is utterly impossible for us at this time to appreciate our great loss. It would be presumption for us to attempt to eulogize the life of Mrs. Walker. Her death is given to us to write.

We want to thank Mr. Knox for his promptness in getting the Freeman to us even in the West, where it takes so long for me to see you. We will miss you one week coming to us. "Some paper," we will admit. For the first time in the history of a circus season, Prof. Wolfscale and his team will close the season of 1914.

All members of the band and myself wish to compliment you and your staff on your legitimate way of doing business and the interesting theatrical notes and editorials that appear in the Freeman each week. Some of the most pleasant hours spent by the company I was proud and honored to be counted among Mrs. Walker's personal friends. Walker's friend If Alda had faults I never sought to know them, and had I found any, my great love and appreciation would have enabled me to overlook them. Realizing the great goodness of Mrs. Walker's has done the profession with which I am identified, I still find it impossible to forget the personal loss. Her lovable personality, goodness of heart, perennial good humor and loyalty to friends were attributable to the memory of those who knew her. The heartfelt sympathy of the Smart Set Company is extended to the relatives and friends of Mrs. Walker in poignant grief and sad bereavement. THERE'S A WOMAN BEHIND IT ALL. I smile when a great man spreads his chest. Rearing his head high above the rest, and boasts aloud of the honors won, culminating of needs he has done. I smile with pride. In the silent depths of two bright eyes, Be she rich or poor or great or small. You'll find there's a woman behind it all. The woman God gives to have and hold, With infinite love and heart of gold, Is like a beacon of haloed light, is that season of nailed right, that leads men on to the utmost height. The well from which hope eternal springs. Where men may drink strength for greater things. You'll find there's a woman behind it all. this season were spent during the day of each week we received this wonder-ful mission of our race should be proud of this paper, the greatest Negro theatrical journal of the age. May your great success continue, Prof. James Wolfe and Band, Barnum & Bailey Circus. NEW YORK AND EASTERN NEWS/ (By Billy E.

"Black Patti" (Mme. Sissiesteria Jones and Harrison Stewart Score New Triumphs in "Lucky Sam From Alabam." (By Ar W. Tee) WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Special)—After an absence of two days, Mineke Anderson, the team over us the "Black Patii" returned to the nation's capital last week and at the New record-breaking engagement at the New York City music comedy entitled "Lucky Sam from labam." On the opening night show, he greeted by an audience that packed every nook and corner of the spacious auditorium abated throughout the week. Managers S. H. Dudley and A. J. Thomas came to their patrons and the numerous evidences of satisfaction apparent to warm the cockles of their heart. In the play Mine Jones has a part that the character has ried the character of "Miss Inez Pride, Supervising Principal of the school, that made it stand out as her best effort along dramatic lines. She wore a suit of undoubtedly the last word in the modiste's art and made the ladies gasp with excitement. Every detail of the rich combinations of color, texture, design, diamonds and jewels. Mine Jones is popular socially in The story hinges about the fortunes of the young, charming, and markedly keen-witted Negro who by dint of ambition, some sharp practice, and a keen sense of humor, bumble status of a whitewasher to the ownership of *p. monster boot-black parlor*, and is finally chosen as the man to take over the little town in which he lives. The plot is meager and serves to connect the two men, the girls and gallant men. Cook Cole, a man of great art, divides honors with the star, and again demonstrates his right to be a hobo. He good chance to put his peculiar talents footlights. The "naughing man" made a hit. Viola Stewart as the man who helps the girl in evidence, and Jeannette Murphy, George Howard, John Grant and others to win the Ethel Williams led one of the catchy numbers, "Pleading Eyes", and with the help of the girl in a vim and technique that brought the graceful couple into favorable comparison with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Caswell, the man who class with Leubrie Hill's "At the Ball", and wound up a bill that had on it some kind of condition of humanity. But, after all, too much consistency must not be expected of a show admitted to, to be only "only"; so the mantle of charity must cover a multitude of dramatic missteps in its class. The singing of Black Patti, and the humor of Stewart, and Cook, and the music of William Williams, along with the marking and Venus-like form of Miss Segura are worth more than the price of adoration, which may be rated as a glittering success. Movements of the Player Folk. Tom Brown, the character artist, is in prospect. A western tour is in prospect.

If they do not succeed, they will be by the low murmurs of those who declared the Boston Braves did not have class and have now crawled in and up the leash. The victory of the Braves over the Athletics was a great thing for baseballs upon the highest pinnacle a team or life of all and of the human elements which go to draw the admiration of the players, but in their stolid, businesslike, unemotional ways there is little to arose such enthusiasm as is stirred by fighting, tearing tactics of the Braves. The Braves thus brought back the baseball all their four straight victories demonstrated that they went into the series with the Athletics to win and the Braves to lose. The coefers of the national commission. Refuse to Call Game. The players do not share in the receipts after the first four games, so they have to play five, six or seven games, the national commission and the club owners would have been the trainers. In the tenth game as though the series would go five games, the commission followed, but they didn't know it. Then they tied the score. In the eleventh it was a tie, but the commissioning of the third game, certainly with the greatest difficulty. Umpire Klem would have been fully justified in calling the game on account of darkening the court, would have made a fifth game contest, but the two teams were knotted at it. The main idea of the baseball mascot was the kisses on the court, as possible out of the series, they were never offered a better chance than in a game. It virtually rested with the minor games, but the kisses on the court the game out of the number of games. By ending the game when the was tied would have sent the team five games, with a chance of more. Neither the players, the club owners, nor the national commission got as out of the series just closed as it is out of the league. They might have made more sense, but they lasted longer, but if the first two games had been played in Boston. The two out of the toss by the Athletics cost over a concert of hundreds of dollars, each with over ten thousand more people than that. When it was suggested in center field bleachers be erected in Evers, of the Braves, promptly to move it. It would have meant at least 200 in the Boston players, but Johnny declared he would not take chances in a field just to get some additional money. (By Kid Fields, Featherweight Champ) I am sure to read that Jacob Hanable got knotted in his first real light, but boxing is not to make a success at it has got to frighten the game. Study the man in his own own, learn how to soak tricks of your own, learn how to check for openness to leave an opening in your head, then beat him to his lead, but to do so you must have a world of confidence in you. You must know what you other fellow has a watchful eye on the few things. A man as quick as strong as a bugged build, handy and skilful as the tricks of the game, should be a beast or any fighter in the world battles and have fought on a minute's notice. When I in an meadow sayler they slipped one and asked me to come on Saturation afternoon. Well, the money battground on I took a train for the my knowledge of the game. I scored the only knockdown in the fight, and then the referee skinned me. When I was not trained, the referee hit me a singer on my temptit. Then came some good generalship, and later on knocked him clear out. The referee hit him again, gaining one of the ever more wins to box. Now, let's hope that Jack Hanable studies the game and beats Palmer some day. In the meantime I would have scored the good ones in the featherweight category. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. Kansas City, Mo., October 18 — Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, and Carl McGourty, the Oklahoma heavyweight have been matched for a ten-round bout here October 20. SAN FRANCISCO — Eddie McGourty, the Haskell-Oshkosh middleweight arrived October 16th on the steamer Sonoma after a ten months' tour of Australia. McGourty, at once issued a challenge to Carl McGourty for the middleweight championship of the world. "I will challenge the winner of the Chip-Clabby battle, and give him a side bet," said McGourty. CHICAGO — Freddie Welsh, champion of the light boxer, and Charley White, champion of the ten-round boxing match in Milwaukee on November 9. The men will weigh in to receive 32 per cent of the gate receipts and White 27½. SAN FRANCISCO — Cal — Young Saylor of Indianapolis and Eddie Moy of England boxed what Referee Griffin was pleased to call a twenty-round draw at the 100-pound contest. He good decision, with a slight advantage in Saylor's favor. At that the newcomer, who came here from Australia, was appointed to the boxing appointment. He displayed little of his heralded championship ability. Leo Patterson, the clever colored featherweight who recently outpointed the world champion, and the best of Philadelphia in St. Louis some time in the near future. No date has been set for the bout, but Patterson has started training. Denver, October 13—Packey McFarland, Denver on his way back to Chicago. He was abandoned his honeymoon trip when a German cruiser fished on the Japanese coast on making a world's tour. He says he has lost a lot of weight and will post a lightweight limit in Middle Welsh on back to the Windy City. Tommy Coleman, weighing 143 1-4 pounds, defeated Jack Blackburn, who weighted the Olympic Athletic Club Monday night before a big crowd. Blackburn gave a pretty exhibition of boxing, but he was not the only one of his old-time vigor when it comes to hitting. It looks as though he has lost his judgment of distances, as was the case with his opponent, but he missed Coleman and, losing his balance, fell to the floor face down, saving himself by placing his hands down just in time. In the fifth round Jack Blackburn was the savage blows, and in the sixth likewise, but Coleman had the best of the game, so he snapped him. Blackburn's work in the last two rounds was very impressive. JACK DILLON ARRESTED FIGHT PRONOUNCED A FIASCO ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Jack Dillon, claimant of the middleweight championship, his manager, Sam Murbarger, and his second, Robert Holtkin, who was the champion on October 14th after a bout between Dillon and George "Knockout" Brown was stopped in the fourth round. The referee who declared the fighters were merely felting. A charge of obtaining money under false pretenses was presented by Dillon and Brown had been sparing around very much a la lady and the referee time and again warned them to cut loose and at least try to look like a professional. At the third round the referee told them he would stop the contest if they did not tear loose, but they didn't head his assistant. In the fourth the fight was stopped, the referee declaring it no contest. Then the club management sent for the referee to see if they had advance and Brown had got no advance money. Therefore Dillon is behind the bars and Brown is at liberty. The referee had seen in St. Louis for a long time. The crowd of spectators hissed the fighters when they refused to mix it up early and the rawest exhibition ever seen here. BIG SMOKE AND WILLARD MAY SCRAFT MARCH 17 CHICAGO—The Jess Willard-Jack Johnson match is to be staged on March 14, according to Jones, manager for Wincraft.

Manager Jones Off for London to See Big Smoke. Chicago, October 12 - Tom Jones, manager of Seahill Hill, left for New York today, en route to London, in the hope of clinching a twenty-round go at Juarez, Mexico, between Gunbott Hill and Seahill Hill, nicked his grip in a hurry when he learned that a dicker was on for a bout between Gunbott Smith and the negro at Tia Juan. BIG SMOKE AND SMITH TO CRAP IN MEXICO. Black Champ Signs Agreement to Fight New Year's Day—Needs New York, October 18—The chances are pretty roseate for old Billy Jordan to deliver his famous "Let er go" on the field, which will start a twenty-five-round go for the heavyweight championship of the world between Jack Johnson and Wesley Johnson. According to dispatches from San Francisco, Jimmy Coffroth the European representative several weeks ago got a verbal permission to present the world's heavyweight THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER champion agreed to meet any man next New Year's day at Tia Juana Coffroth with his brother. Coffroth was not content, however, with that, and he sent papers of personal letter and signed agreement from the champion. Johnson's letter was sent to the Francisisco yesterday, and he immediately wired Jim Bucklew, Gunboat Smith's Johnson's only logical match, Buckley lost no wiring back, as Coffroth claims that he already has secured the Big Smoke's consent to play. Johnson's bank account has been decreasing as fast as the price of pok chops has been increasing over on the bank, and it is likely that Johnson will live up to his agreement, and crawl through the ties against Smith next New Year's day.
