W. Thompson.) (Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.) Washington, D. C. Special. one of Washington's crying needs is an up-town colored hotel. For the past ten or fifteen years the colored people of city has been toward the upper Northwest section, with the backbone of business lying along U street. The bulk of the people in the area are a handling freeway and the region where their lives and do business. For this reason, a first-class hostelry not far from th and U streets would please a colored man. As it is, a transient who wishes to stay over here for a few days is compelled to find quarters in a location where the facilities, in the nature of things, are limited, and much inconvenience on both sides are bound to be experienced. A well equipped city has this situation and a long-felt want. The center of Negro business is steadily veering toward 7th and Florida avenue, and in this neighborhood would find its most advantageous location. With the practical filling of 10,000 homes, it will find its most advantageous business houses, it is predicted that within the next five years the colored people will more and more visit the city and rival the Jews for the possession of the business on that lively thorny street. The wisecares say, thereafter, the hotel would be just the thing for 7th street and preference is expressed for the northwest corner on it only a few frame shacks. These could be easily removed and a modern, seven-story, hotel would be erected on this admirable site. Some one with smaller people could be erected on this present apartment house on the southwest corner of 7th and T as a good hotel venture, it is now unoccupied and offers a fine tenant for the first time for living purposes. For a moderate amount of money the two upper floors could be rented to store rooms would bring a good rental. A first apartment will all win up more talk. A first apartment will have a gold mueble up the up-town section is one of the insistent needs of Washington, and the man of enterprise who undertakes to build a hotel will have a gold mueble up his him.

The Proposition to be Submitted to the Voters to Change the Organic Law of the State of Indiana. IS FRAUGHT WITH GREAT DANGER TO THE NEGRO The New Constitutions Adopted by Southern States in Recent Years Should Serve to Remind the Voters of the Race that we should be Content to "Let Well Enough Alone" - It is Believed that Great Restrictions Would be Placed on the Franchise, and it Behooves Every Colored Man to Vote "NO." There are those in this community and in the state who think they see the necessity for a new constitution—a new ability, character and brains to have a subject was brought suddenly forward by the present Vice-President of the United States, James P. McCormick, the former president, constitution of Indiana. There is the logic of this argument, why should a colored man vote in favor of a constitutional convention when he knows he would have no voice in making a constitution that he govern him? The intention of the constitution is called to an We are told that the growing age demands a change. It is pointed out that it requires a change. It is seen that the fashion idea here prevails. True enough, the first constitution was inadequate. The state was weak in 1851 a new constitution was adopted. Then the citizens were prepared—intellectually prepared; as Thomas Jefferson and his independence were prepared; as the makers of our general constitution were prepared; as the independence of the United States Amendment们 have been added—a very few in view of its all importance, the time of adoption, and the extent of its operation. New policies were adopted. New states have been added. Additional territory has been acquired. We have foreign possessions. We have fewer lesser wars. We have foreign possessions. Yet we have a comparative few amendments to our great constitution, to the 1851 version very well with the framers of this constitution. It means that we should think very long before we decide to change. **Probable Suffrage Changes.** When we were on a few years ago, attention was called to the stress ladd on the suffrage section. It was pointed out that the provisions respected citizens, but could not quality for the electorate by the terms of the provisions. It appeared that boards or committees were there and which boards or committees would hold the destiny of the would-be voters in their hands. In other words, there would be a necessity. It is not so sure that there were sinister motives behind the movement, but the impression was made by the expression of the propositions. The Negroes and many foreigners who have but little education, it was thought, would not be able to elect a franchise in event the proposed constitution obtained. The tests, as noted in the program of changes, appeared fair and reasonable, but they are not introduced in latter day constitutions without method. In Germany some men have many votes, this owing to the fact that they are not represented in the system, all being represented in the legislative assemblies according to what they possess. They vote, and equally, according to the system, all being represented in the legislative assemblies according to what they possess. We have been content to count one vote to a man, regardless of his wealth. Any movement that thwarts this idea will do more harm than good. The total suffrage "system." Most of our Northern states are contented with their own man a vote. Indiana has nothing to present that justifies a change along this line. It has no peculiar reason to resist suffrage; more no than Illinois or Ohio. The Change Feared By Many. That many men fear the change goes without saying. The Rev. Dr. B. J. Prince, a professor of history at the volces the sentiment of many colored voters, also white voters, when he said in the Indianapolis News of recent date: "We are not the colored people of Indiana than the question, 'Shall a constitutional convention be held in Indiana in 1915?'

T DANGER TO THE NEGRO Nern States in Recent Years Should Serve that we Should be Content to “Let Well Great Restrictions Would be Placed on My Colored Man to Vote “NO.” man a delegate to this convention? Would an opportunity be given a colored man of ability, character and brains to have a vote in making amendments, alterations and changes in the present constitution of Indiana? "Under the logic of this argument, why should a colored man vote in favor of a constitution that he would have no voice in making a constitution that is to govern him?" he asked, referring to an article which appeared in the columns of a daily paper, which favors a new constitution to incorporate the initiative and to dum under which action the Negro vote in Indiana could be restricted. The newspaper every colored man in Indiana tao vote "NO" on this question, because the colored man in it represents a minority race and is at the mercy of the race representing the majority. "It is true that the existing laws safeguard the rights of other citizens, and it is also true that there is an increasing sentiment that will materially affect the sentiment might find lodgment in a constitutional convention with strength enough to that will materially affect the colored man as a citizen of Indiana." It is plain enough, that to revise the dangerous experiment. The initiative, the referendum and the are down-right representation of intelligent citizens. Vice-President Marshall, himself, is against that triumvirate of political imbecility, and yet he is willing to accept the possibility. In California, recently, there was a man in accord to general opinion, an officer, trying to inaugure and carry out forms. The initiative, referendum and the recall are simply the politician's opportunity that of displeased men, as this case proves. It is not so clear that the majority of the state cares for woman's suffrage. And it is not clear that the majority of men who do not care for woman's suffrage as much, if not more, for the women than most of the men, are anxious to vote, because constitutional vention would be very fit prey for the women and men of the woman's suffrage, and for the majority is proper; what it does in the legislature, is right. Of course, the majority has no right to deprive one of his fundamental principles. This done, there is no governmental action for the majority constitutional convention could be unduly insecure, when we be his opportunity for supporters, such as is known in this age, perhaps, would be taken for popular consent. What things are cited as an offset against the "necessity" as is so strenuously set forward by the pro-constitutional party, is a good case in favor of a new constitution, nothing vital is urged. True enough, the state has grown, but our growing interstate relations are more and more every two years. Taking it all and, all it appears that the better thing to do is to let well enough alone. This is the probability of a colored man being a member of the constitutional convention. This gives rise to the query: What manner of men will make a better life for a woman, a time of peculiar political mixup, it would be a good thing to let the whole business to at least the political situation is obeyed.

Pig Club Movement Follows. Having Great Success. The “raise-a-pig” movement, which was inaugurated by Booker fT. Wash- ington ‘some weeks ago, has’ caused much’ favorable comment from: beth the white and colored press. ‘The Charlotte (N.C) Observer speaks edi- torially as. follows: “Phe Observer has always found much’ to commend in Booker Wash- ington's administration of the affairs of Tuskegee Institute, but. nothing more than the inspiration which has come tg" him throuieh conaitions) pre~ cipitated on the South by the Buropean war. In a letter to the editor of the Observer—and one which Wwe suppose he has sent’ to other papers—he out. lines a ‘policy’ by whieh the colored Face may. provide. ltself with better homes, schools, colleges and churches and, last but not least, pay its debts, He ‘warns that this desirable result cannot be attained at once, but stead- ily and progressively through ‘a strong Dull together. According to the argu- Ment of this colored educator, there Are’ 1,400,000 cofpred families who live on farms or in villages. Of this num= ber at the present time 700,000 ‘have no pigs. “I want to ask that each fam= ily "raise atleast. one pig this fall, Where one or more pigs are already owned, T want to ask that each family raise One additional pig this fall” He Suggests that this plan be followed by the organization of'a Pig: Club tn ever: community where one does not already exist, and asks. thatthe matter be taken “up through’ families, schools, churches,” societies, farmers’ institutes and business leagues. As he figures iy the average ple In valued at about $5,000. “If each family adds only one Dig, in & few months, at the present price of hogs, $10.00 ‘would added. to the wealth of’ the owner and. $14,000,- 090 tothe wealth of the colored jeo- ple. “If each family adds two pigt, tt Would have: in’ a few months. $26.00 More wealth and’ $25,000,000 would. he added with which to promote the wel= fare of (the race during: “the ‘money stringency created ‘by "the Buropeau war. The “Observer commends this Plan to. the colored farmers of North ‘aroling, “It ts the most practical plece of advice which has been handed out to them in yiirs, and It points the way to independence and the comforts oe lire” PHOENIX, ARIZ.

Theodore Portteus contributed largely in saving Marion county $33.46 million in January, 1999, when he became Chief Deputy under his predecessor and assumed the official business of the office. She served for five years in the office before, had done more business, handled more cases,金钱 more money and boarded practically many prisoners—at $52,201.35 LESS THE COUNTY. THE COUNTY figures are from the court records. He did it by attending to business collecting all the county had coming to it and charging the county only for the actually eaten by prisoners in the jail. Theodore Portteus was the first sheriff in the county to contact the official work connected with M. B. H. the office. He has done the county's fall boarding house, for his own profit. But he has watched the fall. It is clean—the Board of State Charities has been called in for the. The prisoners are shaved twice a week—it used to be once. Religious services are held every Sunday.

How to Become a Good Agent for the Freeman. First you are to remember that it does not cost anything to be an agent and correspondent of The Indianapolis Freeman, and that it is a well-paying position to become a representative of this paper because it is the largest and most popular colored paper published in the United States. All you have to do is mention the name and you are sure to sell it. It is a business that you can profit by, largely during your spare moments, if you will follow the rules and suggestions that we have placed here. Do not get in the habit of crediting people for the paper. It makes many hard feelings, and will eventually come to money. Keep your eyes and ears open at all times. A wide-a-wake person can often gather more news by merely looking and listening and then asking questions. Each agent will be supplied with report blanks which you are to fill out each week and send in with payments. One-forth will be allowed you on subscriptions, advertisements, etc. One-half on all single copies sold at 5 cents each, only returning those not sold immediately. Always see that your matter is mailed in time to reach this office by Tuesday of each week to insure its insertion in the current issue. Be brief and concise. Practice saying many things in a few words. Write-ups with cuts, single and double column, three and five dollars up. When about to write imagine that you are talking to thousands of people, living in many different parts of the country, and write nothing but what would be of interest to all these people. In seeking news use the utmost fairness, remembering that a first-class newspaper serves all the people. Important. All correspondence, no matter what the nature, sent in is subject to the discretion of the Managing Editor to use it or refuse it. In case you come across a bit of news requiring special treatment—a convention, conference, etc.-write the Managing Editor for instructions. Correspondents should not write on both sides of paper. Do not mix your news items with business. Be very careful in the spelling of proper names and write them plainly. No one should use red ink in writing their correspondence for this paper. Reports from agents must be received by no later than Thursday of each week to insure prompt delivery of papers to your address by Saturday. In returning unsold copies agents should see to it that their name is on the outside of wrapper, so that proper credit can be given on books. Sample copies free. Do not write your notes on thin society stationery. It is very difficult to handle. Items referring to different business enterprises, giving publicity to the same, are advertising matters and must be paid for. In signing your letters write your full name and address. In case of change of residence be sure and notify this office. Any suggestions that will further the work in your city will be gladly considered by the management.

The Mexican chiefs are again standing apart. The presidency of a great country is an "awful" temptation to some politicians and statesmen. As the miser loves his gold, so does a politician love the goal of his ambition. Hayti has had another little revolution, as quiet as it is kept. A Mr. Theodore is now president, after having brought the opposition to naught. We said last week, when speaking of Mexico, that factions will not be ruled by factions for any length of time. Hayti needs a moral revolution. The election comes next Tuesday, October 3. It will be important in that it will tell which way the wind is blowing. Some say the Progressive party is going; some say that it is coming. The Republicans have an idea that they are coming back. Some say the Democrats have lost in favor. Where are we at? We will know by and by. The Christmas issue of The Free man will be another of those annual efforts to give interesting stories of our race in other departments of life. Or other major news. It will appeal as your race reference book of the past year. The best stories of the best happenings during the old year will be featured. Inquire about this number. Write to us. The colored Shriners of Atlanta, Ga., are having trouble in maintaining themselves. An injunction has been asked in that city against the members of the Raban Temple Shriners by the white temple of that order to prohibit the Negro Shriners from using them. The Negro Shriners had been used as by the white Shriners. Verily, the way of the Negro lodge men is difficult enough. "One man down, anyhow," the opponents of the Democratic ticket are saying. Owing to the past career of Frank X. O'Brien, candidate for Judge of the Juvenile Court, his name has been taken from that ticket. The place has been supplied by the name of Judge Taylor, the present judge, who was beaten by O'Brien at the primary election. The case of O'Brien makes a very long story, as has been seen in the daily papers. According to what is being said, Mr. O'Brien has been the judge of the St. Louis. The development was a black eye to the Democratic party. The campaign managers, however, think their prompt action is as much as the public could expect. Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive candidate for United States Senator, made one of his usual good speeches at Tomlinson Hall in this city last week. He had a capacity audience, many being unable to find seats. It was plain to see that Mr. Beveridge was considerably worked up over the advertisement which was seen in The Freeman, saying that he had made a speech saying in it that the Progressive party was a white man's party. He had copies of the publication in his hand. He called attention to them, one with the advertisement and the one making the correction. He denied stronely that he even made such an utterance, nor did he mean anything of the kind. He called attention to his abolition antecedents, speaking most affectionately of the Negroes. He succeeded in making a good impression on the many cooled persons who were in the audience, and also on the white people. Some of our publications seem to feel it a necessity to explain that Dr. Booker T. Washington does not stand for segregation, and why he does not stand for it. Perhaps it was necessary to explain his position to some people, for there are those whose chief business is to discredit those in "authority." Without assuring ourselves of what Dr. Washington said, we promptly lined up with him, feeling satisfied that neither he nor any thoughtful, sensible Negro would encourage segregation of the race. We viewed it that he saw an opportunity to engage in a lesson along a certain line. It is evidence that white people who insist on segregation think, at least, that they have some excuse. Dr. Washington talked to this excuse. We talk to this excuse. If we are to be segregated, let it be from pure cussedness, and not because of our indolence, carelessness and indifference. How to get rid of segregation is another question. Let us try the ounce of prevention first. THE COTTON SITUATION The puzzling cotton situation seems to be clearing. Bankers north and south are favorable to a plan by which $135,000,000 will be raised to take care of the surplus cotton crop. Loans will be made at 6 cents a pound, the interest not to be more than 6 per cent. Loans will be for one year with a privilege of six months' extension. The reserve board will have direct supervision of the fund but probably will be the committee of bankers and business men. Secretary McAdoo has outlined a plan of administration of the fund which will be with as little expense as possible. It is also given out that cotton can now be sent abroad. England, which virtually controls the pathway of ocean commerce, has consented that the product may be sent abroad, not classed as contraband of war. This, if true, is not sufficient for the consumption of the usual output, because the factories of England and France are idle. It is thought that the loan scheme, together with the possible European demand, will bring relief, restoring practically the normal situation. The question naturally arises, what will happen in the event the war continue? It has already been suggested that there are other crops suitable to the Southland and which could be cultivated with considerable profit. The South would not think of abandoning its very staple product, but for the time being the section may have to make a shift. DR. WILLIAMS INVADES LOUIS VILLE.

In November he was president and director of the Washington Park National Bank, resigning the entire time to the business of Powell Garrad and Co., dealers in municipal bonds. Mr. Powell is well qualified for the position, especially the South Side Voters' League has endorsed him and are giving him their support. Mr. Powell is a personal friend of Col. Franklin A. Stratton and colonel is speaking for him nightly. Johnson's School To Open.

Many influential colored citizens all over the country have been attracted to the progressive party and its leaders. It is the Progressive idea, stated by the new constitution, that colored citizens are entitled to honest representation on their citizenship, just as all other citizens are entitled to representation in their ship. With this in mind the Progressives of Marion county in 1912 and in 1913 formed a committee to represent their legislative ticket. This is a clear and simple recognition of the fact that 35% colored citizens are entitled to representation in the legislature. High-grade men have been chosen. Attorney W. R. Henry, the former chief of the ored citizen, representative of progress among colored people. It is out that with the new party movement there is honest recognition for ability, industry and hard work. It is that good citizenship is found. They say that the colored citizen is to be recognized, not because he is colored, but because he is a worthy element in society. With this in mind the Progressive delegates in its northern delegations, business, professional and university delegates in its northern delegations, publican national conventions in all the years since the war. At the same time, high-grade colored men were numerous in the southern delegations to the Progressive delegates. In 1912 many prominent colored citizens reported the Progressive movement, and the number of colored supporters has grown steadily since that time, especially in seek recognition and advancement on a basis of merit and good citizenship. In 1912, scores of leaders among the colored population statement dorsing the Progressive movement Among these were: Henry N. Hill, William H. Hill, D. Cincinnati, E. L. Curtis, Niles, Mich.; L. L. Tull, Cincinnati; O. B. F. Moseley, attorney, Chicago; Edward H. Hill, Chicago; E. L. Curtis, Springfield; John H. Conway, Peoria; Ill.; C. C. Wilson, editor, Cairo, Ill.; James H. Porter, Chicago; Ill.; W. W. H. Hill, Chicago; D. A. and D. A. of A. St. Louis, Mo.; Grant B. Brown, M. D. Wichita, Mo.; Joseph B. Fleming, Horton, Kans.; Fred D. Fleming, Kans., and E. J. Harbour, El Reno, Oka. "All men up and not some men down," is the Progressive slogan. It says that the party should think things over and to act on cool reasons and calm judgment. For example, the first of the parties to go on record as treating the Negro as an American citizen, and not as a Negro. That is why the party should support the Progressive party."

He was a splendid workman. The acquittal of Bishop C. R. Harris, Prof. W. J. Trent, and the other pretense of Zion, indicted at Asheville, N.C., and right and justice. The charges were a farce and were conceived in infamy. The Washington Bee complains that people with grievances to air use it to grind their axes and then leave it to bear the brunt of the victim's wrath. The chase awaits that from now on he will claim that from the "goat" of the nation's capital. The East Tennessee News, of Knoxville, Tenn., one of the strongest race papers in the South, edited by W.

Calvin Chase, publisher of the Washington Bee, has not satisfactorily explained why he failed to attend the National Negro Business League. He is equally silent as to his opinion of the new president of the National Negro Press Association, Melvin J. Chisum, a "real editor." Turn on the light. Editor M. J. Chisum, of the Baltimore Tribune, with the best of intentions, told me that the Honorary military titles are always in order, of course, but having been born in Kentucky, nothing short of "military" will suffice in our class. Thanks, nevertheless, for as much as "Major." Dr. Charles Henry Phillips is one of St. Louis' most helpful factors, and has forged to the front by hard and good work for why people's good. He is the son of Bisha Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, and is traveling in the path made glorious by his illustrious sire. The world will hear more of young Dr. Phillips. The next national organizer of the National Negro Business League will be a man of the people—a good mixer, a good cook, and a good league in a town he visits, where the president of a bank or the driver of a dump cart. He may attend a few banquets, but he must organize leagues. That's the word, with the bark on it. Segregation by legislation is an infamy. The only justifiable segregation is that the law prohibits people through the law of natural selection. Let people live wherever they are able to pay the price and associate with whomsoever they choose. Laws are wrong that take from men and women food-given element of personal liberty. The reading of the principal race papers ought to be so general that an or correspondent would not need it; necessary award, a specially marked copy to an individual, after having taken the pains to write something nice about the said individual, it necessary be given the women and women of worth, for it is a personal message to you. Dr. Booker T. Washington is opposed to segregation of the race. Not even his worst enemies really believe that he would endorse any humiliation offered to him.

The wise-acres are saying that the unwritten law that a man must draw at least $1,800 per annum in order to be a potomac is being ingested in aington has been abrogated since the departure of the ill-fated "Sage of the Potomac," who is said to have originated this foolish and uncalled for behavior. The author of the public office is too flimsy a fabric upon which to base a man or woman's social standing or acceptability among respectable people. S. Tutt Whitney is the "literary man" of the Afro-American stage. He is put up for the first time to be "hered" written, and his stock seems inexhaustible. Whitney keeps his weather eye peeled constantly for things that ought to be "seen," and his ears never miss the sound of a book being read while passing." And, more than that, he has the King's English to fix them up in a form that is interesting to every reader of readers. Whitney is in a mood alone as a Thespian and chronicle of events. It is an easy guess that two of the bishops to be elected by the Louisville general conference will be Dr. J. S. Jackson, the efficient financial secretary, and Dr. G. C. Clement, the scholarly able theologians and practical business men and will add strength to Zion's bench of bishops. In all probability, the bishops will be expected that the voluntary retirement of Bishop Hood will make a third vacancy. Two have been called by death since the last election in 1908. Again we are confronted with the scientific fact that the skin of the Neo-Christian man. The first man to make this startling discovery was Marcelle Malpighi of Bologna, a layer of skin of white, the coloring matter that gives the Negro his dark color is contained where the epidermis joins the dermis, or fibrous skin, beneath. This deeper layer is named for its discovery, being called the Maphigian layer. Now, Cardaman and Tom Dixon be good? from 57 per cent in 1900 to about 30 per cent in 1910—a gain of 27 per cent in ten years. The Transcript goes on that if the 90 cents shows on as well the black man, the white people may find themselves left behind, at least in elementary education. This own is a food for thought for Virtu- alism and for the colored man, the white encouragement for the colored millions throughout the land. Let the good work go on! Rev. J. G. Robinson, whose "A Few Dots—That's All" have made his name a household word all over the land, has been re-discovered down in Arkansas. He goes out into the highways and by- ways and carries the torch of light and leading to the humble denizens thereof and becomes unto them a "Prophet of the Lord." He is a candidate for the editorship of the Southern Christian Recorder, and we think he ought to have it. He will make it the most talked-about church in the country by means, let it be "Editor Robinson" at Philadelphia in 1916. The thirteenth anniversary number of the Savannah Tribune is a fine example of the positive impact of the work of the team thirty-two pages of original matter, printed in four sections of eight pages each. The edition was bright with cuts of prominent men buildings and enterprises, together with a mass of advertising, all illustrative of the commercial development of the Negro people. The undertaking was creditable in the highest degree to Col. C. Johnson, the senior manager of the bigger place, a map than it has ever enjoyed before. The Tribune was founded in 1875 by the late Col. J. J. Davenaux, the most successful and best leader that the Sun sun ever shown upon. More power to the Tribune. One of the secrets of Dr. Booker T. Washington's phenomenal success is his almost involuntary practice of ignoring the attacks of the black men and waste time by answering fellows who, while condemning his methods, have nothing to show as an indication of their superiority. He goes on about his work and allows the kickers to do the worrying by themselves. Dr. Stanford L. Warren is one of the leading physicians of Durham, N. C. and is noted throughout his home town for his broad public spirit and leadership. He has amassed a comfortable fortune and has a most interesting family. Dr. Warren is a fine type of the cultured professional man of his men, and he is a herculean work problem in Dixieland. The bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church are within their rights and standing for the best interests of the connection in rearranging the donation to the plan of the church its departments, even if the general conference is not consulted. In the emergency, which exists at this time in the most supersecedent conventional laws. The general conference of 1916 will be composed of level-headed business men and the missionary of the bench of the Newborn will be burdened by an overwhelming majority. If an experiment ordered by the legislative body falls to serve the church wisely, it is in the interest of the Council to step in and suspend the law, the council is the safety value of the connection. That is why it is asked to meet at such brief time as wait of two or three days for general conference repeals might prove fatal. The Frederick Douglass Public School at Cincinnati, Ohio, is a wonderful institution. It is ideally located in the residential section occupied by the progressive colored people of the Queen City and serves a clientele that will be interested in the curriculum offered by the school. Everything is taught there, from the g-b abs to the art and science classes, the physical culture and ethics. The building is the "latest word" in school architecture and the equipment could not be improved upon, in any case. The professors' expenditure of over half a million dollars, and the faculty embraces the educational training. It is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, and the citizens are justly proud of him for his dedication to the gymnasium, the model lunchroom, the model kitchen, the rest room, the domestic science outfit, the manual dressmaking parlor, the model housekeeping apartment, the laundry, the club rooms and playground, the reading rooms and other attractions is a rich treat, and an eye-opener to any friend of all-round education. The school is under the supreme authority of a principal, whose sword is kindness, firmness and sympathetic co-operation, and military precision and promptness. Indeed, the Douglass School at Cincinnati is one of the "show places" of the Mid-West. We want to be appreciated at its full value. WHAT THE PLAYER-FOLKS ARE DOING IN WASHINGTON. Laura Bailey returned to Washington last Saturday for a day, after a four weeks' run of engagement on Shawnee Shores. She left Sunday for Newark, N. J., to join the Dudley and Williams and Stevens act, which will oppose the copious opium addiction Odon Theater the new addition to the Dudley chain of playhouses. The Four Whitman Sisters—Estate, Ma. Alberta and Baby Alice—put in two big weeks, and turned 'em away at both the American and the Howard, and the Washington people are calling the theater the "biggest and most important" of their many friends the Whitmans have consented to take charge of the Blue House. Theater is the old geography of the city, but in stock week after next, using their entire company of eight people. This we have found to be Newark, N. J. We must assist S. H. Hunt in opening his new Odeon Theater there. Alberta Whitman is the song writer of the team. At the Congressional Library may be seen a score of songs performed by the been lightened, and filled in the music department, in accordance with the law. She has a new song, "Poor Fortunate Child," that she is using with the effect. The Griffin Sisters have retired from the direction of the Blue Mouse Theater. Susie Sutton has gone to Detroit, Mich., where she inaugurates a tour of the city with the music department. She will "make" the western wheel of the Dudley houses and return to the city for that time at the American. She will then go out on the southern wheel. Miss Sutton is unraveled as a character impersonator and dialect artist and has new costumes to match them. The bill at the American embraces the Noisy Four, Dare-Devil Randell, Aline Cassells, the Carr Brothers, and Williams & Lawson. The Martin & Motely Stock Company is still carrying all before them the ninth week. Mrs. Frederico DeBots is a new member of the company. Miss Le Cook Sees Light Ahead. "Pretty clothes cover up many deficiencies in an act," writes Grace Lecook, the clever little artist who made such an item have last season with Rogers and the other performers. While every performer of the fair sex should seek to look just as well as possible, stunning costumes should not be made to look like a man into fame. There must be real merit in the individual and the act must be of a nature to show off to advantage. The most important impression is to be made upon the public. There is yet a brilliant future for the industrious and studious colony of managers who do not thoroughly master the public the paper essay or serve the public to touch the sympathetic chord in the hearts of her audience, plus pretty clothes to the trout. Aida Overton Walker demonstrated what a good woman can do to elevate her profession. She has the success means hard work and plenty of access to the artist who wins must pay the price." Miss LeCook is resting this season and out but is considering some flattering offers go into refined vaudeville. She is conceded to be one of the promising young singing and dancing comediennes now comparatively new to the stage. The Griflin Sisters are doing well at the Blue Mouse, ably assisted by Ed FPeat and Miss Ella Hayes. The company is noted for its originality and charm in vaudeville. People from all sections journey to Georgetown to see them, and are amply repaid for their paints. Miss Anita Patti Brown of Chicago the "Bronze Tetrazzini," is to be the stellar feature at the coming recital at the Mine. The direction of Mine. Harriet Gibbs Marshall and Mr. Henry Lee Grant. The function will be held at the Howe theater and it will be a society event. The Martin and Motley Stock company is in its eighth week at Dudley's is showing no signs of waning in popularity. The attraction this week is *Wife, Wife, or Running One's Own Household*, and it affords big opportunities for the young and the old. Edgar Martin, the dreadless comedian that has struck these parts for a long time, is there with the goods, and Miss Martinez has come out with a collection of songs from her seemingly inexhaustible store. Frederico De Rotts, Martinez's brother, outwitted Miss Rosetta Shanks in our first Miss Katie Jones, the prima donna, gets a big hand following her operatic numbness.

When we loved each other early And our cares were very few, And my heart longed for true And my heart longed for you only you. The light was was singing in the lonesome nest All the world was quiet and children had to eat. My heart was breaking; longing longest dearest just for you Ah! I was not dreaming, its I who loves you best. Last night, dear to my memory, just I was your own, happy bride Our hearts were as light as the heather Scotland's ancient pride, As we wounded the solemn wounds Till death. We felt the tender tremor that my we stood to heart As we stood to the white-hair clergyman With heads bowed, hand in hand. You slipped upon my finger the gobble The nightingale was singing sigh in her lonesome nest All the world was happy for I was your happy person. Twas the warmest vowt heat! "REMORSE."

A rose that used to to blossom, and shed its fragrance sweet, Will it bring its mournings When she would often meet. The containt fell forever, it was a doleful time, When at the dawn of twilight, Life's drama closed behind. Her smile and touch are vanished, The voice that used to thrill is hallowed to shout in the dark tomb lies still. Bereft of friends and loved ones, Her sorrows did not cease; Beyond this Vale of Tears now May her sorrows be in peace, Jasper, Tappin, Phillips. STAGE NOTES. "Slim" Mason, of the Gollmar Bros.

The Watts Brothers and your correspondent took a run down to the Colonel Theatre last Thursday to call on Roy Bird, the vince chauffer for the street bird, answer his question. Bird was out with the car. So we climbed upstairs only to find that the gallery attraction but a down-stairs ornament. He is versatile and has skills in all kinds of songs, his relation ragtime is that he sings like Bojangles Robinson, of Cooper & Robinson, in the gallery. But his Hebrew specialty frosted on the lower floor and little does he know that his swell walk, he operated but little, is his biggest card. Mr. and Mrs. Gudger gave a very informal reception to one of their lady friends in their cozy fat, 3618 State Street, in the midst of the 24th. Most of the guests were choir singers.

When the Watts Brothers heard of the serious condition of Marsh Craig, who is from their home and who is a graduate of the best schools in New Orleans, they requested me to take them out immediately to the hospital to see what was of the great importance of the form of the wound. We took him lots of fruit and he was delighted with our visit. Mr. Craig's son was an ingrowing obstruction in the testicle-extent. About a year ago he had an operation performed at a private hospital and was successful. When he came out he lingered for months in miserable health. One day he was called for hospital. Hospital was the place to be successfully treated, as my visits there to see sick actors had convinced me that Chicago can be praised for handling the situation. So when Craig found he had to go, he went. The operation there was successful and the patient was well cared for. He be pleased to know that when the ac tors' wound has fully healed that he will again be a well man and able to return to the stage. A Hot Headed Hero's Lament. My brain was all diseased; My stuck-up pride was seen; My closed eyes were released— Now I my plight have seen. My best friend I repulsed; My heated brain is grieved; My shame is now convulsed- Since I was born SYLVESTER RUSSEL MILLER & BROWN IN INDIANAPOLIS IN "MISTER RAGTIME" AT THE NEW CROWN GARDEN—TIM E. OWLESY, PROPRIETOR Charles F. Gardener, as manager, is presenting Miller and Brown in "Mister Ragtime" at the Crown Garden in New York, where he further characterized a "musical runaway." The company was here a few months ago when it was virtually trying to secure a success and promised to be one of the leading attractions in the country. A successful promise has been fulfilled. The company comes back greatly improved in its marketing and the leading characters. Miller is another Bob Cole in dry humor. He also has a touch of the George Walker style of sports, is the best comedian of the race, and Bigoue is certainly an aspirant for big success. The former of the race, Ethel James is a KID BROWN KID BROWN happy combination of a woman—dances, talks, talks. These real stars make for the downright merit of the Mili-ton, to the extent that singing is pretty and appropriate. The songs are cheerful and catchy. The girls attractive and graceful in bearing, the girls comedy in fact, around which swings the pretty songs, the choruses and the coworkers. The curtain goes up on a hotel scene, "Mrs. Wintrey," Ethel James, is the proprietress. The introduction chorus is sweet and sweet and acted out with graceful movements. In fact the singing and movements of the chorus are particularly pleasing. "Dixie," a song by Ethel James, supported by the chorus girls, Miss James, who is a scholar in the search of a man to vantage her clever ability. Her steps and prances won her applause. Brown shows up on the scene in an interview to the search of a porter of the hotel. The scenes in IRWIN MILLER which he figures are highly amusing due, of course, to his unique conception of music. He is just as funny in what he does, not say as in what he does say. "The scene is so different, the food help" are fine bits of comedy. Miss Miller and Miss Bigou are another meritorious piece of work. Miss Bigou is particularly delightful with her clear and "discarded" passion. Their "Croonie Melody" was also happy hit. The steps of the team came in. Organia Jones jams "Every Road is the Right Road When the Right Lift Comes. Come. Come. Come." Sung pretty, by the choir. Brown proved a good musician; he was recalled for his good work on the gullet. Very pretty song was the choir done. The voices were soft and of a blend for harmony that made a hit. Very pretty song was the choir done. Very pretty song was by Miss Biglow and girls. The costumes were work of a part of the applause they prettied. Pretty Miss Ida Griffin, a home product, Indianapolis, scored hits the music. The little lady is doing nicely. She sang "Way Down Yonder in the ins." She was supported by an invisible chore. Making the husband jealous, by Milton, he was formerly the star where all did star acting—it was fine. The Tango and Texus Tommy, by Milton, were formerly Rosetta sung some blues, supported by the chorus, followed by the finale—not named are Zelika Masterson, Lucca Turner and Margaret Glenn. The Tango was formerly of Green Pugh and Glenn. NOTICE TO MANAGERS. crooked work and get wild and when she comes in and trys to explain, I won't stand for it. Then she gets an answer down and drag out. I begin taking different things out of her trunk such as music, pills or good laugh generally with a need of attention.

A few weeks ago the team of Washburne & Piper carded this paper, call-me, and it was sent to the team it had received at the hands of Sam E. Reevin of the Queen Theatre, Charlotte, NC. Mr. Reevin was greatly incensed when he learned of the card, which, according to him, makes him appear to be a bad fellow, when, in fact, Washburne & Piper played a very bad role themselves.

But if you will give us $45 for one week, or $50 for one week, we will accept awaiting your answer. Is date of twenty-first O. K.? Answer today. Mr. Sam R. Keevin: Dear Sir—Iours of the 9th received my phone from me sending photos. Place two tickets not later than Friday, as we want to leave Saturday night after the show. Bill us as follows: Washburne & Piper, who shg some, talk some, but dance more. P. S. Notify us by wire my expense Mobile, Ala., Sept. 18, 1914 Sam. E. Reevin, Manager, Queen Theatre, 421 East Ninth Street, Chattanooga, Tenn. Ticket received; leaving Saturday night after show. HUBERNE & BURR Upon their arrival here, drunk, he called me to have a meeting, and he is a misunderstanding in regards to his salary. I asked him why didn't he refuse the booking, he accepted the booking, placed for them after he knew that something was wrong. He answered that he hadn't had a single letter from the company, and impressed that he was to get $50 per week as promised by the Arrant, Henderson, Legg booking agency. I asked him what he was going to do between him and the agency. He replied that he lost it. I asked him again: "If you are booked by the company, haven't heard anything from me to the contrary, how come you wanted to have a 'talk' about your salary, and how do you want to stand in regard to salary?" He then told me that my letter of the 9th telling that I couldn't pay but $40 for one week, and he manager of the Bohn Theatre till Saturday after the performance, and then was too late for them to refuse, as they already had the tickets taken up. How true this is can be seen, as enclose their letter to me, and the 9th answered by them on the 12th of September from Mobile, Ala, calling for tickets for the 21st of September and directing how to bill They were absolutely booked by me personally for my job, yet I reached an agreement with the named agency and I am still booking my house independent. I have no experience of the job, there would be no need of it If Mr. Washburne had been in normal condition. But he having not been in normal condition, I thought an officer might be needed. This accounts also for the letters which he presumed were from other performers mentioned in the book. I thought him anybody's letters then but his own, the same letters which are here en- I am confident that many honest performers who played my house, the band, the orchestra, and the dueling with them and the treatment they received during their stay here will apply to his injustice. I will think that the above named facts are not sufficient I could produce a letter from Chas. J. Hammond. If he wants me to team at Washburne & Piper haven't been promised but $40. But as the letter is a personal one, I am keeping it private. I will send this publication for requesting the team of Washburne & Piper Freeman, and will thank this publication from me, especially the letter of the 9th of September, to which they replied on the 9th of September, which will prove its own excellence.

DANIELS & DANIELS, THE ORIGINAL SKUNKTOM BOWSER, RECORDING CHAS. BPALEYS THEATER, 11 DECATUR STREET, ATLANTA, GA Lyons Dantels, The Original Skunktom Bowser, Talks. I wish to state, seeing several writups in The Freeman about Charles P. Bailey, misstreaking and abusing my sisters and brother performers. I deem it necessary that I should speak in regard of the standpoint of the theatrical process. I worked for Mr. Bailey six weeks, during my stay with him, from a business standpoint of the theatrical process. And during the time I was playing at 5 Decatur I saw many acts come and go, and I saw good and good and if you don't make good in any house all performers know the difference. I was good in Mr. Bailey's house he sure will cancel you. After he canned them for that reason they say he is a dirty man, but he is managing a theater. Now that is wrong to knock a man because you can run his business and make him what he wants. I can say Mr. Bailey treated me nice, and all the performers that I saw in Atchison treated me. So as long as you go to him right you will be treated that way. Mr. Bailey is now going to remodel his capacity will be eighteen hundred with box seats and balcony. It is to be one of theaters in the south, playing high-class vaudeville and stock. The house will be ready in a few weeks, as they will be ready to perform acts and good stock people to keep in touch with him for the grand opening. HALL'S DIPPY-DOPE MINSTRELS (By Lew Hall.)

(Lovingly dedicated to the memory of my uncle, Jacob Baskett, whose life was simple, loving fidelity, humble simplicity and upright life endeared him to all). Gnarled like an oak his hands, Furr'd like the field his face, Brow's like a stand, Smiling with kingly face, Shrinked and shrunken his frame, Halting his step and slow, Ya'they like a grave, Reflect of heaven's glow, Shines like a winter's sun Declining in the West Treaty like a grave, Gives cheer e'er it goes to rest White is his kinky hair As cotton, which gave him toil; Hailt his face, which gave him soil No stain doth his honor soil. Sacred his every trust, Hes his every apach; Right are his acts and just, His words a sermon preach No knight or cavalier, No steward or court, Could match this hoary seer In ways of right deport. Born of a lowly race, Blessed in his ancestry, His great heart has a place For all humanity. Small are his wants and few, Wild are his sod, A shelter from the day, A resting place with God. Nor covetous to, With the well content, Each day some good to see, He calls that day well spent. I love his land, By tempests' frenzied sport, Yet weathering the storm, Rides proudly into port, Sustains his life, Not dazed by change or time Meager in life's estate, But rich in faith sublime, That lilies' fray, Villainly on will plow. To rest at close of day On the bosom of his God. With Where is Billy Kersands? Is Billy Kersands dead? Almost daily we have to answer these and like interrogations concerning the oldest and greatest of all mined players. Billy Kersands is not dead. Today he is without doubt the greatest soft shoe dancer living. I might mention one possible reason for his death, both of these famous gentlemen have about finished the span of life allot to man. Billy is now touring Texas with a minstrel show out of San Antonio. I write M. and Mrs. Kersands while in Waco and I have spent much health and spirits. Billy was suffering a little discomfort from a strained ankle injured in a jumping contest with one of the boys. He won the contest and some consolation for the injured limb. Billy is contemplating making a farewell tour of the North in a grand spectacular minstrel extravaganza that does not disappoint by paying investment. Thousands of Billy's friends will be delighted to see him once more, and many others who will be visiting Billy's friends will be equally glad to see the eran minstrel. People of the South refuse to believe that Billy was born in the United States, one of their native sons, and Billy is well content to let them have their way. Mrs. Kersands gave an interest in the business, and her weakness was good, but the trip was marred by the behavior of some members of the company. As Doctor Washington had more privileges than the other respect. A few of the incorrigibles run riot, until some American newspaper wrote that these honorable scribes did succeed in their session of Judge Lynch in Australia. Then Billy thought it time to meet these honorable scribes did succeed in their session of Judge Lynch in Australia. shame that the self-respecting Negroes abroad by disheapable performers and sporting men.

On Wednesday night, October 21, Eugene McGregor and Hattie O'Neal were united in matrimony at Tupelo, where they met in a wedding elder of that district. The ceremony took place in the Plantation tent after the shows were all out and over, and the guests were in attendance present. The orchestra played the wedding march for the occasion. The bride was dressed in a beautiful gown and carried a bouquet of lace and carried a shower bouquet of roses. She was attended by Miss Jessie Lowe, Miss Mabel Adams and Miss Lucie McGnity. The groom wore a conventional blue blouse and carried a shower bouquet of roses. She was attended by Miss Jessie Lowe, Miss Mabel Adams and Miss Lucie McGnity. The groom's present to the bride was a handsome diamond ring. The groom's private car and Hattie O'Neal is soubrette on the Plantation Show. Jack Harris—everybody in Dallas knows Jack Harris. He is a jolly good fellow, a genuine optimist, a devotee of Camaray and manager of the source from which Jack derives the means for his sustenance. Luckily for Jack, the Central Theater has been built for he is a prodigal spender, a modern epicure and a true philanthropist. He is a willing help in time of trouble to a multitude of needy ones. Jack reapprehends the need of Southern capitality. No sooner does the Smart Set strike Dallas than the members of the company must eat and drink with him, taking very little thought for the morrow—and why should he? Doesn't his friend Omar say: "Were it not folly, spiderlike to spin. The thread of present life away to win. What for ourselves, who know not if Breathe out the very breath we now breathe in?" One of the prettiest and most complete theaters it has been our pleasure to visit is controlled and managed by a co-owned fried food company, Worth, Texas. Fort Worth was not particular about having a colored theater, and the fact that Tom succeeded well in being stood with the people Fort Worth who have the say about such things. The theater is fire-proof about 300 and ample stage room for small vaudeville. The moving picture apparatus is the most modern and com-posed, been seen and outside of the Lubin house in Philadelphia and New York. We wish Mr. Moore continued success in his new enterprise. They have been in the Metropolitan Shows for the past three years and they have served and danced partitions received presents from the members of the carnival. After the ceremony the members of the Plantation Show went to the Carpenter Hotel where a supper was served and dancing partitions in until the small hours of the carnival.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE RECORDS THERE ACCOUNT FOR THE MINUTE LIGHTWEIGHTS HARD LOSERS IOE GANS "DIED GAME" (Billy Billy Lewis.) Why is it that the lightweight arers possessors as a rule? Has size do with what is physically, minimally in soul? has it happened that the Hight-champs of recent times have been of that person who they have that they poor losers? I love both of the substance of what concerning the last struggle lightweight to an article seen in a recent issue of the Pittsburgh Press. it says, "back on the night of Sept. 9, 1988, a tired looking man huddled in the corner of the Sultan Baths in San Francisco talking to a newspaper men. This was Jorge Gandie, the gentleman Joe, who is accustomed for his gentle man, just as Jim Cobb is referred to. By the way I said not long since, in reference to a young German officer showed especial bravery on one occasion during the war, he was wounded. The sentence was at stood alone, as if it bore no significance to what else he said. The sentence was not but said, "I meant by the bare announcement that he wore a moustache, that he wore a cigarette, that he wore a very much of a man for a short. Something much is not expected of such men, way too." I meant the same as a short. I mean the same as a cigarette. The announcement smokes some people, but only dispelled at this time by what's going on in Europe. We have learned that a dude, a fop, a monkee warmer, a man, a monkee warmer, and the like a saint in quiet and like a hero in stolism. "the Gans, for six years the world's lightweight champion, was saying goodbye for the first time. He had gone in a heap to the coliseum of the Colma arena and had sat propped up on one hand while being counted out before his old rival, Bat- the Gentleman Joe was bidding farewell to the ring. This fact required special bravery and physical deaths, if we may thus call it. "like gaggle slaves, sourced every man to say 'farewell to all my greatness.' One feels for Napoleon when he is at St. Helier because of all of his greatness. We do not read that he regretted much so colossal bravery so numerous and brave. No man about him was worthy of so intimate companionship. Perhaps no such man was alive in that --- Is a far cry from the deaths of emperors to those of prize fighters. But there is so much of men who dominate and sway, whatever their empires, that what concerns one suggests what concerns the other. Like the Littlest Rebel" seen in a splendid playlet was just about the same as the biggest one of the Gans. When giving up his hope, ambition and consummation for the years he was whole souled, he was like Nelson, the most stand of his fighters to sustain his little, he said, "Nelson is a wonder. Two months ago he beat Nelson, but he was a mistake. He's too tough for me. I guess I'm through both, and I want to wish Nelson all the best he beat me fairly, and it will be a long time before the game gets another man like him. Like the article: "This tale by the Baltimore boxer is recalled at this late hour for a reason. Gans was dead game. The same cannot be said of the title holder that we have had since." Nelson met Wolgast in 1910, going down before him in the 40th round. Wolgast thoroughly whipped him, but, when he came from his wall that whined from San Francisco to New York and back again! He was the hardest loser known to Wolgast's business. How if effort comes back he returns! then Nelson is one of the games men that ever lived. Never again! Nelson regained what he had lost. Never before has a man set such a high price on the championship. The writer says that championship is the most important thing within his power to bellittle Wolgast in the eyes of the public. As a champion Wolgast had been a "big man". In defeat he also strunk to a small-sized bad loss! The following interesting recital of the hard losing lightweights is given in the language of the writer: As champion Wolgast was credited with earning over $300,000. He proved that he was a champion. He has ever known, whipping his way through a deadly danger lot of chalers, including him, men in Brown, and Rivers. But when Ritchie was deferred champion Wolgast's squeal was height and breadth of the "Ad called his conqueror 'The Ribbon Champier' and, to this day, was housed within his hearing Wolgast will resort to what he intends as withering arsenal. A few months ago Ritchie was densely whipped by Charley White. Instead of having a good word for the Chigouman Ritchie's yelp was to the robbed" and should have had a draw. "A few weeks later Freddie Welsh, the most selective boxer the world has ever had, faded over the 20-round in the London ring and lifted the championship crown from Ritchie's head. For ahead of Ritchie's return sall that he had caught wireless shrieks and William handed in this country the kind word for Welsh, who had been robbed. The moving pictures will show that had robbed. The worst I should have had a draw. Referee Corr lost his head, a way the California prattles of his hampions have been honest and since I stand as monuments to their ability in defiant none of them could stand the one none save the little man who sat under the pillow and mummed: I wanted to come to him.' the good luck that can come to him.' FIGHTERS FEAR BRITTLE HANDS AS MUCH AS KNOCKOUT PUNCH sizing up a candidate for ring opening it is usual to lay much stress up of his shoulder of his chest, the spread of his shoulder of his muscles on his arms and back, of the all important point that is intruding into booked. That is the size and construction of his hands. Yet no baker can have a far less unless his hands seem to have been the music cause his ustus' troubles. Wol- ger's weapons state from his long, hard battles. Whager always was a desperate ajigging his knuckles and landing his swings on his opponent's hand. Both his hands have been broken and they will no longer handle the strain. White is another battle, handled by weak hands. White is a fiercely poorer boxer than Wolgast, but he is very delicately constructu- for. For that reason his great success in long battles, that he may cost him the cham- pulsion. Ritchie Has Good Hands is gifted Ritchie, on the other hand, would no doubt out of place if she only rights it out of place on a success primarily owe much of her. It is one of the reasons why she shows to better advantage. Fitzsimmon's Maulers. Battered. In his hands he had all probability that prevented Bob Fitzsimmon from winning back the championship, and that night he fought. Jeffries was outclassed in that battle and could not have stood up under the freckled warrior's assailant. He was beaten to a pulp. It was only after Fitz was unable to strike another blow that he came to the realization that fact, it was said, the time that Fitzsimmon was not really knocked out, but took a punch in the body and quit. He was not knocked out when he no longer had a chance to win. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORT. Kid Cleveland is again in condition, and willing to meet all comers at 115-118 lbs. in the world, Louisiana Kid prefer the "GORGE KID" CLEVELAND." Milwaukee, Wils. CHICAGO—Nate Lewis, manager of Charley White, local lightweight, threatened to call off the Welsh-White match at Milwaukee November 9, unless the lightweight title holder posts a fight in the ring.

But the clubs they did hurt, and hurt up the American Association teams, making up the American Association international League and the Pacific Coast League. The Western and Southern leagues, Class A organization, have a great race in the shape of greatly reduced pressure. The great race in the National League takes to the tadder through the season with a better profit on a whole than it has had in some time. Boston's great spurt from bottom to bottom is the interest to that organization that resulted in packed parks and big gate receipts. The American League clubs didn't get away early got away in the lead and stayed there. At that the American League clubs didn't lost enough to scare them out. But the heads of the American and National leagues realize that they have got to do something to appease the American League and the International League is clearly on the rocks. The Federals walloped that organization unmercifully. And the International League is a great asset of In fact, the entire structure of baseball depends on the minor leagues.

Former Champion Given Four Rounds of Racing by New Yorker. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Oct. 23—Willie Ritchie and John Dundee of New York froth's open air arena on Eighth street tonight.

TY COBB LEADS HITTERS IN AMERICAN Georgian Rounds Out Eighth Consec year as the League's Top Notchster For the eight year in succession, Ty Cobb, of Detroit and Georgia, has won the batting championship of merger-tied teams, followed by unified today—final, though unofficial—give Cobb a percentage for the season just closed of .368. In the National League, Cobb has won the title as champion, with .329, though several batters in a dozen games or so have higher percentages. Complete records for Cobb and Daubert for the season are unknown. cation, 1907. Cobb led the American League race for the first time, with an average of .352. Since then he has been champion, with .342 in 1907, .375 in 1908, and .329 in 1911 in 1912, and .391 in 1913. In 1913 Daubert succeeded Zimmerman as champion with an average of .346. The three hundred and forty of the American League number fifteen and include Cobb, Detroit, .368; Pick, Washington, .343; Collins, Philadelphia, .339; Jackson, Cleveland, .324; Cleveland, .323; Hobilt, Boston, .324; Baker, Philadelphia, .319; McInnis, Philadelphia, .319; Crawford, Detroit, .318; Baird, Cleveland, .308; Cree, New York, .302; Roth, Chicago, .302; C.

This year his team has a group of fast rivals, despite a poor start and an injury, which kept him in the playoffs was one of the features of the season. Sixteen in National Kauff Regains Lead. JOHNSON AND KILBANE STILL HOLD TIME RECENT CHANGES Johnny Kilbane needs sympathy. He's a champion with nobody to fight. He's a regular Robinson Crusoe in the prize ring and he might as well be on the high spots. He's king of the featherweight division. It's all because they are not growing any more good and I4-pounders. He's doing something like a gardess of the long-winded howls of managers with touted phenoms—that can give the Cleveland marvel a battle with the New York kid in the class look foolish in 10 rounds if he doesn't get over the dream wallop. He usually gets over that wow factor now. Now somebody wants Johnny to pick on poor old Abe Attel, from whom he won the championship. Abe was a winner, but only a couple of years ago he quit in the midst of a fight with a comparative tyro in St. Louis, walked over the ropes, held up his gloves and angrily "Gentlemen, I guess I'm through." Since then Abe has been no stranger to the high spots. It is agreed that he should finish him in five rounds. But who is Kilbane to fight? Last year Johnny was on the verge of plunging into the lightweight class, but no means without class. He undoubtedly could clean up pretty near all of the lightweights, but what could he not to be seen. He lzen at the top remains to be seen. These days, when the featherweight class is back, wise managers are letting their body shape try the smaller lightweights. There are enough 128-pounders in the business to create a new body shape but the legitimate lightweights. Business is good at this weight, and the youngsters well know that 33-limit are doing most of the lighting. To get back to Kiblane, it is to be explored that there is no good use in the body shape, but the few legitimate champions, and the only one, with the exception of Jack Johnson, who has held his title through the disastrous year for ring crowns. This brings up another point. Take the biggest blow in the world that have changed hands during this year and quite an imposing array is had. The biggest blow, of course, was when Ritchie Ritchie dropped his title to Freddie Welsh. Next in line comes Johnny Coulon, who took one on the bantam honors. Bombardier Wells lost the heavyweight championship of Europe to Georges Carpentier. He lost the white heavyweight championship of the world to Gunboat Smith who in turn lost on a foul to Carpentier. Smith lost the heavyweight, light-heavy and middleweight titles of Australia to Ed McGoorty. Matt Wells lost the welterweight title and Hughie Mehgan lost Australia's lightweight crown to Freddie Welsh. Matt lost the middleweight title of England Digger Stanley lost the bantam-weight honors of England to Benyon, who was whipped by Hughes. Charley was bounced by Frenchman, took it away from Hughes. Thus it will be seen that Johnny Kilbane and Jack Johnson are the only champions of a year ago who are left. A season isn't over yet.—By Left Hook. LANGFORD STOPS GUNBOAT SMITH Hard Right Ends Battle—Black Man Drops His Opponent in Every Round—First Time New Yorker Has Been Knocked Out. BOSTON, Mass.—Sam Langford, the negro heavyweight of Boston, knocked out first round Oct. 20. It was the first time the leading "white hope" of this country, who gained a decision over Langford here a year ago has been knocked second round Oct. 20. The negro showed his superiority throughout. His 200 pounds were beaten by Langford, who first round was half finished and a sweeping right felled Smith for a count of seven. Smith was weak when the first round ended. Langford round Langford again took the aggressive. Leading a left, he hammered a right home to Smith's left hand, and Langford sprained there for nine seconds staggered to his feet barely in time to save himself from being counted out. He was knocked out right, Langford rocked Smith with his blows and floored him again. Referee Jack McGuigan of Philadelphia had come up four when the bell gave Smith a reprieve. Protecting himself as best he could, he pushed the sultans of the third round. Then Langford again pointed his left menacingly at the man who negro quickly drove his right with terrific force to the white man's jaw and to the mat where he was counted out.

BILLY McCLURE TO KID FIELDS. Dear Sir—I wish to state a few facts in regards to the article in last week's preamble. Mr. Fields states that he is the featherweight champion of the world. Mr. Fields seems to forget that night at the ring, and he drapes into the ring for an eight-round contest with me (Billy McClure). He knocked him out in the eighth round that night. I do not understand how he managed to knock him out, he featherweight championship of the world. I hold a knockout over him, he has not, he me cannot claim the championship. If Mr. Fields wishes a return match fate at any time and am ready to meet him at any time and am ready to meet him on the winner-take-all basis. I am now ready to meet the best batsman in the world.

Since its discovery, a little over four years ago, it has taken the world by surprise and thousands of men and women are now living proofs of its efficacy. 88 The Argus Bulletin Office Aprons 50c We sell a lot of these—the obvious result of somewhat better value than is usually obtainable.
