Another said that politeness is the cheapest man or woman who has not realized this must learn this truth and live by in ere he or she makes any effort to be the best man or woman often forget that the habit formed in youth, in our school life will follow us through life. If these are habits of politeness we may achieve success. Often we hear a young man or woman say "I don't care what people think of me." Whoever is politeness we must know what is thought of him is a dangerous character to the last degree. If he doesn't know, we has no sense of what will we need to learn which his passions lead him. Sidestep the man who talks much and says little. Only that man who is a true friend to others can be a true friend to himself. Plan your work and except for good reason, stick to your plan. That's the golden rule of business success. BRANCH NORMAL STUDENTS OUT. "STRIKE" SHORT.

NEWS OF THE NATION'S METROPOLIS Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell Rivals the Famous Billy Sunday in a Wide-spread Religious Campaign.

Washington is Being Recognized as a Great Benefactor of the Negro Race—Williams Jubilee Singers do not Sustain Reputation as Great Singers—Editor R. E. Jones Here—Metropolis is Ready for Easter—General Notes. Allen's National News 'Bureau, 252 West 53rd Street. NEW YORK CITY, Mar. 29.—What is doubtless the most notable religious campaign ever launched by a New York City religious among Negroes which rival the great campaigns of Billy Sunday, opened in this city last Tuesday evening at the Abbyssina Baptist church which the Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell is pastor. Great enthusiasm is being shown in the meetings, not only by the members of the Association of the City, but by the members of the campaign as planned by Dr. Powell. The campaign as planned by Dr. Powell has been arranged primarily to reach the large mass of unsaved men and women of this city, and judging that the meeting is not falling to do that for which it is designed. Before Dr. Powell launched this gigantic undertaking he felt his way to see it. The campaign is being held at the time he was ripe, and the ready response he received from his investigation told him that the time was ripe for such a venture. He was not yet in the process of the services, and when Dr. Powell preached his first sermon last Tuesday evening on "The Valley of Dry Bones," over five hundred people were turned away from the meeting. He was preaching from a unique list of sermons that have been selected with special aim to reach the masses. They are just as important as the first to be approved and in order to drive them home Dr. Powell is employing language that will reach all and his unique and effective manner is getting results that "rival the best of the world." The meeting is being held to further stamp Dr. Powell among the great preachers of the time. Last Sunday afternoon Dr. Powell conducted one of the most important events of the day, the meeting for men only, and the large auditorium of the church was crowded with a large outpouring of men. Dr. Powell's subject was "An Awful and Famous Power." He had the opportunity also to women. Among the list of subjects that Dr. Powell is preaching from in this campaign are: "Praying in the City," "Looking for Rest," "The Hard Way to Go to Hell," "Receiving Jesus," "The Moulding Influence of Women," "The Power of the Blood," and "Consecrating the Young Life to The service will end Friday afternoon when a special meeting will be held for the children. The pastor will join by Dr. Powell will leave a telling influence upon the religious life of the Negro of this city, and will make Abbyssinian Church a center of the community. A feature of the services was the chorus of 100 voices led by J. H. Page, and a personal workers' corps of 100 members of the church. To advertise the service, the church out out the city large posters with the list of subjects to be preached from. Abbyssinian Baptist church is one of the largest and most missionary churches in the city and it has long been the center of the intellectual life of the community. Dr. Powell came to this city from New Haven, Conn., and has been a mighty force for good in the city. Booker T. Washington a Benefactor. More and more Dr. Booker T. Washington is being recognized as a distinct benefactor to the race, and is constantly looking out for the welfare and interest of the Negro. He is remembered for taking the initiative for many of the movements that make for uplift of the race, and toward getting them a wider place in the national life of the nation. There is a song which is entitled "Only Remembered by the Wife of the Dome." This aptly fits Dr. Washington, for if he is to be remembered it will be for what he has done for the Negro and the nation. Moved by a desire to see his race enjoy those comforts while traveling that other people enjoy, Dr. Washington issued a call to the race to observe Railroad Day, at which time a national protest was \(\underline{\text{agreed}}\). This opportunity was to require into condition the authorities to inquire into and make progress. This call was issued early part of last summer and was liberally responded to. His agitation for better school accommodations in the south, the holding of farmers' conferences at Tuskegee, his trips through many of the states of the country in which he touches the personal life of many of the men and women of various communities, is very many other details of a public life that the educator leads to. In the forefront of these benefits him is But perhaps the greatest effort of the Tuskegeean came at his call for an observance of a "National Health" which was widely observed. The primary object of the call was for the race to inquire into conditions responsible for the large death rate among the Negro, especially in the large cities, and to take some steps by which these deaths can be reduced. Dr. Washington issued this call following years of active experience among his race where he has given the question of health and sanitation much concern. Never before has a call coming from Dr. Washington attracted so much attention as did this call of "Health Week" and men and women in all walks took the week off and attended the many conferences and meetings held to consider this question. The week was widely observed in this city. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, of which Dr. Washington is one of the directors, distributed over 100,000 cards calling attention to the large death rate among Negroes in this city. The following alarming facts were published: 2631 Negroes died in New York last year.

A Negro dies in New York every three and one-half hours, and two out of every elever Negro babies die before reaching their second birthday. Similar conditions were reported in other sections. This was a timely call and the great educator will have the gratitude of his loyal followers of ten million people. Editor B. E. Jones Here. Editor R. E. Jones, one of the Negro general officers of the M. E. church, editor of the Southwestern Christian weekly editor, last week attending the M. E. conference with met here. Dr. Jones brought in the city and participated freely in the discussions that came before the conference, and presented monos last Sunday evening at St. Mark's M. E. church and called attention to the Advocate. He will be here the entire week, and among the important issues discussed, the week is an interview with Bishop James on matters pertaining to the consolidation of the Methodist churches. Williams Jubilee Singers Disappoint. Williams Jubilee Singers Disappoint. The Williams' Jubilee Singers of Chicago, who have been heralded as the greatest world music group, the world, came to this city last Wednesday evening, and made their debut. The announcement of the coming of the singers and the great reputation that preceded them created wide inter-community audience a goodly number of people were out. The concert was under the direction of the National League on concert program continuing Jubilee singers and classical numbers was divided in two parts. The concert did not include the natural voices of the singers, and was a disappointment to many of the musical folks in the audience. Few of the singers have received the attention there are the fine natural voices with capable development. New York is a critical musical center and a troupe of singers coming to city with such a preceding ensemble should have given a better concert. Metropolis Ready for Easter.

Notes Many Changes Made at Recen Annual Conference of A. M. E. Church—Other News Items. (By Marcellus Henderson.) THE POINT OF CONTACT. The greatest problem confronting the Negro race today is the "bread making" of the race, making a living and besides it all others are indirect and insignificant. Our only collective growth and development of the African-American organizations. In the world of business our growth has been purely individual, and herein lies our prescient problem of the size and scope of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows would do more to mitigate race prejudice. A strong economic foundation is the only logical basis for protest because the business men of the race act as judges to the race—historic judges. The man in a community who is financially independent and who is able to provide opposing views to the race—his moral and intellectual qualifications being equal—is the man who is always locked in to espionage. And with the man so with the race. When we have erected in this country powerful commercial enterprises our interests will become so intertwined with the race of the business men of the race will become active participants in the country's affairs and be committed to the commanding positions At present the only point of contact between the races is in the hands of non-racial people. We are not urging less of this sort of contact for all honest work is honorable, but we need more contact with people who are not man knows and appreciates this better than we do and he gives us recognition not because of our protests, but because of the power that we learn that the most powerful protest against racial injustices is independence, we will have made the most important step towards the solution of this problem. With the rights and privileges we have by reason of the war amendments, we have to help us safeguard them, we can, with one eye on the rights, take fullest advantage of them and we can help us to decide of business enterprises which Negro brains and capital. We need powerful newspapers to create a more favorable sentiment in the public and white man read our papers, then we must do as the Jews and other buy an influential interest in the man's paper and make him our plea. We cannot change conditions in this country against us is changed; the most potent influence for creating and changing sentiment is the public press; the way to influence it is the influence of commercial prestige and the only way to secure money and commercial prestige is through the successful business enterprises. It is also the supranumerary race developed and sufficiently capable to achieve these results. Let us hasten the day when our interests will be so interwoven with those of the white man that he will fear to offend us lest he jeopardize his own interests. Let us shake off our unusual entitlement of assume the plus-entity of independence. Let us strive for a status in this country when our protests be the cause from the outside. Take for example our National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Whose the influence of Hoeffler, Smithe, and Wheeler Villard and Prof. J. E. Springarn their protests would be written on. Whenever letters of protest are sent over their are sent over Mr. Villard's signature, and whenever personal appeals or protests are necessary, as in the occurrence of National Board of Censors of Moving Pictures, it is either Mr. Villard or Prof. Springarn or some other white man that appears for the organization. Would it not be better if these protests could be just as effective when bringing from the we expresses to him penitently like a milestone around the neck of Mr. Villard because his grandfather so loved them. How can we express this penitently like a milestone around the neck of Mr. Villard because his grandfather so loved them. Would it not be a fitting testimony to the memory of William Lloyd Garrison, if during the war he achieved that independence which he predicted, and did not Mr. Garrison expect this when he said in speaking of the work of the anti-Slavery Society as a prisoner of Boston which told of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, "Our property ownership, successful business enterprises combining Negro brains and capital and helpful business contact with the slave community, fundamental agencies which will provide living opportunities for our boys and girls and secure the economic independence of the race; every Negro in America.

It is a known fact that he is quite a surprise on the pool and billard table when it comes to straight billard and 61 game. He has been given the honorable title of champion in Honolulu, and it is not known yet whether he will receive a medal or a purse for his ability in winning the series which was staged in Honolulu during the twelve-day carnival.

In regards to the information to your office as to conditions at the Branch Normal School, we have to meet the matter in the hands of an investigation committee and the general educational board will be here to meet the committee in a few days before the meeting, meantime the school has been closed. We have found that the trouble is as follows. Since the patron, Prof. J. H. H. H. H., had the situation, had to leave and the school has virtually been in the hands of one local white man and things have been appealed to the next man in line of authority, who is a colored man, and he seemed to be so weak in the back that he was not able to advise the girl to keep the matter secret and avoid coming by the white man's office, which is on her direct property. We advised the girl to keep the principal thought he had no obstacle in his path he went as far as to tell the girl that he had been told the matter known to her class and the boys and girls advised her to get whatever it was. So she did and it was a path to slik through the school things if she would submit to him. School at Augusta, Ga. The school has just rounded out its tenth year of successful work. Miss Laura Smythe, Miss Maud Bailor, Miss Linda Hickson won the three prizes offered by the Kentucky Illiteracy Commission for the best moonlight school stories.

Miss Luda Barksdale, a graduate of Provident Hospital, Chicago, is a Red Cross nurse on the frontier. Barbara Baldock charges of corps of nurses of different nationalities and is called the "Little Corporal." Mrs. Margaret Calloway Mathews is compiling her many poems preparatory for the book printed in book form. Mrs. Mathews is also working for the Womans' State Federation, which convened in Topeka, Kans., in 1913. Mrs. M. L. Jones and Mrs. A. L.

Any married man can tell you a woman has been a receiver since the invention of money. It is said that dancing makes girls' feet large and that ice cream makes them feel cold.

Malone, Kansas City, Kans., is probably the first colored police woman in the United States after the officer young women and young boys who cannot care for themselves and is authorized to arrest them and take them either to police station or to their own homes. Washington, B. C., women have had an opportunity to learn at first hand what "twilight sleep" means, what it accomplishes and what effect it has on the police child and what benefit it confers. Two women delivered lectures, both of whom became mothers of "twilight sleep" babies at the Houston Hospital at the many, under the personal care of Profs. Gauss and Kronig, the originators of "twilight sleep." The matter was looked into at once by the class in general and the citizens were appealed to and the matter has begun to take on some air and The insulter denied all but that of giving the girl the hose, saying that would have sample nose and face, would have the hose that way of the girls had passed, even the Negro principal's own daughter had she her heroine for she fought to save her's and her school's honor. She faced the white man with his musk and did not mention that the Negro principal would give her in his effort to clear the white man's denouncing and was back in touch with other members of the faculty into mutters of the past. The president of the class made a Wm. J. Bryan speech denouncing that the girl was showed his color and said that the school could sink before they would have to be in touch with some were some members of the faculty who tried to make small of the girl who was insulted. Some of the women teachers said that the matter would not get any farther than the campus, but we will assure them that it will go from Malcolm's school. White men have had such a free hand with their proposals among our peers, that they had began to think there would be no bother. Our schools are overridden by the influence of such spirit that they have been so rotten some parents who we have sent their children to private schools to keep them from such filth. We have had full closed and good Negroes of Pine Bluff do not mean to sit and let Mr. White Man go rough over our women when we did not get our clothes a white man was not get our curse a white man was stand; and further, let it be known the young man president of the class are looked upon as heroes, and Miss Wade as a heroine. We will give the full investigation down with the state board, of which he is a member. WORLD'S FAMOUS "BAR-KEEPER'S FRIEND" HAS BOOTH AT PANAMA EXPOSITION. In the Palace of Liberal Arts. The Geo, Wm. Hoffman Co. manufacturers of the world famed "Bar-Keeper" Friend, "U.S." and "Gold Metal Polish" was the only active both in the Panama-Pacific Exposition in the Palace of Liberal Arts. Besides the booth, this concern has an electric sign overlooking the Exposition ground. It is far similar to a package of "Bar-Keeper's Friend" Polish. Judging from the effectiveness of this display and from the performance of the show, it was always awards at both the Chicago and St. Louis World's Fair, it is very probable that the first prize will again be awarded to the Wm. Hoffman Co. Bar-Keeper's Friend is a preparation for cleaning, which appeals to all whose duty is to see that metal fixtures are kept up to the requisite standings of polish. It is unique for scouring, cleansing and polishing brass, copper, nickel and plated utensils: glass, wool, marble, porcelain, etc. An impoverishing by treatment, is more than a good one for them, is that it is non-combustible.

Washington his honor in being appointed one of the international jury in the department of education of Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. We say appointed; he has been asked to accept the place, and very likely the distinguished educator will not pass up the honor. Editor Trotter came, saw and conquered for the cause in which he is enlisted. All, however, do not care for the dramatic exploiting of the meeting with President Wilson. This was plainly seen Monday night, notwithstanding the fact that he was heard with the utmost respect. It means that all are practically against segregation as Trotter is, but many have a different view of bringing about what is desired. Happily are we situate in clime, Easter, the greatest day in the Christian church, comes when our part of the world is in accord. We have as the brand and accomplishment we are as if to impress those of little faith. As He broke the cements of the grave so we have nature bursting from the womb of old earth making for the harmony of the universe sites of this world and the better world to come. It's a long long way to the time of the municipal election in this city. Just the same, there is considerable evidence of getting together in Republican circles. The mayor's office is the chief prize. Among those already mentioned for the office are Harry R. Wallace, Edward H. Schmidt, Edward J. Robinson and Winfield Miller. It's a good bunch of stalwarts, more or less known to municipal fame. Republican prospects are brighter than they have been for many a day. The contest for the world's heavyweight championship will take place in the stadium at Havana, Cuba, Monday, April 5 at 12:30 p.m., 1915. A. D. Revised version: Principalis; Jack Johnson, colored, and Jesse Willard, white. The change from Sunday to Monday was due, perhaps, to the fact that religious sentiment was against having the fight pulled off on the Sabbath day. Sale of seats is reported as satisfactory—upwards of $60,000 at this date. See next week for full particulars of the fight. "The Birth of a Nation," a revision of "The Clansman," a moving picture production was forbidden in New York City by the board of censors. "The Clansman" will be remembered as the play by Tom Dixon which did much to arouse racial feeling between the white people and the Negroes. One of the committee said: "I object to the scene of a brutal Negro chasing a white girl. That is not a sufficiently frequent occurrence to justify the author's claim that it is the greatest film ever produced." We rarely have such scenes if ever. And yet it is positive that owing to the known racial relations such a scene would create feeling that is not warranted by what is actually taking place. EDITOR TROTTER Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, appeared at Bethel A. M. E. church last Monday night where he was greeted by an audience that was large and appreciative. The quality of his listeners was striking. They were mostly thoughtful persons, and from all walks of life, the intellectual classes predominating. Many came to see the man who sprang into prominence by talking to them and encouraged them to prompt individuals. They wished to hear from Trotter what Trotter said on that occasion. Mr. Trotter recited the incident with the utmost care, leading up to it by giving the experiences of his league in trying to get an audience with the President. The editor is not a very imaginative man, has nothing of the poet's passion, consequently his story was a series of facts, proselytized, but interesting, owing to what the story had to do—what it dealt with. He has a very good memory, and this feature, reciting what was said by every individual present at the White House scene, was what helped to make the talk spirited and acceptable, and the appearance is apparent that Mr. Trotter was cut out for business man. He is a graduate of Harvard, a fact which might be discoverable by the orderly arrangement of his topics and the scope he covers in dealing with them. His fine poise, in spite of the sometime slightly hesitating word, his knowledge of his subject and judgment of thought, not words always, showed that he was a man of education and understanding. However, it takes a summing up of all of these things, to lift Mr. Trotter out of the common run of men, as he appears to the popular mind. In other words, he is not a bit brilliant; not ornate—plain, blunt, as Othello was. He appeared earnest and honest, leaving no doubt as to what he said or meant. Mr. Trotter's audience was a beauty for attention, and seeming appreciation. The applause was not vigorous but fairly generous at times. This, perhaps, was due to Mr. Trotter's style of speech making. During the recital of the White House episode he slightly harms us at times due to the situation. He closed with an earnest appeal to the colored people to stand together so as to withstand the march of discrimination. Taking it all and all Editor Trotter made a good impression. WHIPPING MEN AND WOMEN A few days ago a report was made to the legislature of Tennessee by a committee of that body touching on the conditions of the state prison. The disclosures created a profound sensation, calling forth the bitterest denunciation of which the following is a sample: "The state of Tennessee has been guilty of murdering those whom society has imprisoned for its protection, and the state has been guilty of the most merciless neglect of those who were friendless, penniless beings, who, in many instances, placed their lives at the mercy of the tribunals of the commonwealth." This was the language of the committee, and only a small part of what it had to say. In enumerating the prison horrors it called attention to the practice of whipping prisoners, men and women, denouncing it as an outrage. And such it is. The authorities in more commonwealths than one have had their prisoners sentenced to punishment with what success we are not so sure. The trend, nevertheless, is in the right direction. The head of the famous Sing Sig prison of New York has set in motion great reforms, humanizing influences, which tend to bid the prisoner to look and live instead of those methods which assault the bit of manhood left. Whipping is dehumanizing. Even children, many of them, never forget those who punish them, when not their parents, and are ever sullen to them as whipped curs or lions, awaiting the moment when they can even up. Some children take punishment from parents and teachers with such a spirit of resentment that they strike terror to the heart of parent or teacher. This rebeldom is nature, a protest in the interest of the flesh inviolate—sacred. We do not mean to say that children should not be punished; it is often very necessary. We speak of the assertiveness of the spirit within them, at early ages, and which will develop as the children grow. When they reach manhood or womanhood, even those that were mild and "sweet" under the lash, when young, object unanimously to the things as no part of their punishment no matter where they are. There are other modes of punishment, and which answer all concerned very much better. A well known Indiana professor in expressing his views on punishment in schools had much to say on restoring the equilibrium. He held it that the child knew when it had done wrong and that it suffered mental torture until punishment was ministered that fitted the deed—the infraction. Wholesomeness, sweetness was not restored until there was confession, rebuke and sorrow. This is rather fanciful. Yet there is some such thing in punishment. It does not mean the whip. A child is punished when cut off from its usual society. It is not the thing of reprimand always, but the thought. Society is served when men are shut up in prisons, cut off from society. Prison authorites should be satisfied when refractory individuals are further limited by further shutting them up—separate from their customary ways and companions. We admit that it is not as easily settled as we say here. But these are the lines, and not that which forever forbids men to look in the face of other men. MIXING THINGS UP A few days ago a Tennessee court held that a street car conductor could not force a white man to vacate a seat in favor of a Negro where the car is not marked by a definite segregation line. We take this to mean that the white man had taken a seat in the part of the car set apart for colored people. This seems to be mixing up things right along. The possible hard part of it is that it may reduce to that hateful fact, that the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. The other hopeful thing, however, is possible—the breaking up of those classes of blacks which it may be a way of undoing the mischief. In one of the leading theatres of Indianapolis the management reserves a section of the gallery for the colored patrons. At first only colored persons were permitted to sit in the section. White persons seeing this would turn to other parts of the house. Some who did not care about the division of seats would sit among the colored people—because good unoccupied seats were there. At first the white patrons were ordered out of the house but they were so persistent in sitting there that the management refused longer. Now the white patrons occupy the section, practically, wholly, the colored patrons sitting among them wherever there are vacant seats. Here is a case where the white patrons practically broke down the color line, as it pertains to the particular section. It will be borne in mind that they sit there as willingly as they do in the part of the house reserved for them. This is shown because they come at once to the colored section when their part of the house has many vacant seats and just as good as those among the colored people—the present condition. These white patrons pay no attention to other seats nor to the colored people sitting where they care to among them. This is fine proof of the theory that when the races are let alone, left without so much legal juggling they finally adjust themselves to situations which would not be when supervised by laws—we mean proscriptions—they are not laws. The mixup of the races in the gallery of the Indianapolis destroys an eight-person substituting on an agreeable to those concern of and in harmony with the laws of our laws. Had that solid mass of blanks remained, unshotted through with the white people, many a white person would have gone away THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. from the theatre schooled to the idea that what they saw was the Negroes' prize drawn from the civil lottery. They would have gone away more fixed and biased in their opinions and notions as to what was due our race. It is true the management, so it is said, still do some fearful things down below in the same theatre, in the paradise portion. Just what they do is unknown to us, but we know that some of the white people have put jim crowns on a bum up in—well, stairw. We think if little "black" corners were set aside down stairs that some good broad-minded white people would break up the parties of solidarity by untimely timely intrusion. So after all we are not alone. And mind you, those that sit among us care no more personally for us than those who decorate the three rows of white chairs in a social intermingling, social chats, exchange of compliments and the other little amenities sometimes more or less silly are not expected. They come to see the play and not to see and hear their elbow neighbors. Some, we dare say, leave, not knowing the complexion of their neighbors—so complete is the isolation. Our race runs some little risk at being attractive, at times when they laugh out too loud or in the wrong place. We tender all of this in the interest of the white man who would sit in that part of a street car usually occupied by Negroes. He may have had a method in his madness. At any rate his conduct was not so ugly as it might appear. BLUE GRASS CAPITAL. Kentucky Youth Won Home Oratorical Contest at oTberlin College—Mrs. O. E.

E.vans acted as chairman of the meeting, Casey Jones, an ex-councilman, and Ivan Browne, who talked then came the splendid address of our honorable Dr. J. F. Brodnac, in his address on "Freedom's True Level," said in part, "my memory. I claim we are progressing. We are trying to catch up with the white man's best civilization—a civilization that has exacted 2,000 years of hard work. We would most earnestly appeal to all fair-minded white men to charitably stand aside, and let us go through our work." "Results and not resolutions" are the "desideratum devout to be wished for in these strenuous days." "The key of success" is hidden beneath the door Enthusiasm counts, but practical measures are what control. Ten years ago there were 1,000 between the ages of 10 and 14 years of Negro extraction in the United States who could neither read nor write today. Much of that population today continues. In North Carolina the Negro farm owners have increased 22 per cent in the past ten years, while his white brother has increased only 9 per cent. "All the sensible Negro asks for an opportunity, equal chance and fair play. He desires no special legislation. He merely years for those civil, political and charitable rights to which he is humanly and justly entitled to the protection of the nation. He wealthily working knowledge of politics is the blended trio that will raise up the Negro in America to a high level. He now makes as best he can beginning to realize that the test of his stamina is on every day, and that the trial is for the span of his life. Men are under no burden to care for him and higher uplift when each man's good shall be all men's aim. There room enough in this compound to care for him. Family cannot live needs and they will want and need various sorts of methods, ways and means to workout their salvation. An individual can not live alone. Families cannot live alone. But association in communities, states and nations, make civilization with all its blessings and numerous problems. They are fair, free, constructive and broad-minded, who can impart to us in brotherly co-operation the principles of justice. If the Negro is to be condemned as being worthless and shiftless and for not being able to command greater attention and progress faster, they also condemn Emerson and Carlyle because their books do not sell in an age that is charmed with Robert Browning. They also condemn Beethoven and Bach because their music gets only a slight grip on an age that is fascinated with. On the Way to Timperley and similar classics. As the really educated and thinking white man grows in numbers so dispassionate toward the brother in black for fundamentally all men are alike. This is why the Negro is eager to use it does owe every man a chance, an opportunity to earn, to improve, to expand, to learn, without 'acknowledgment of weakness or failure that lies in taking gifts. Opportunity is that with which the Negro is able to man the Negro who is idle and is willing to work has been robbed and cheated by some process that does not offer opportunity. His rags and apparent shiftlessness has been put on him by society, his humiliation, his helplessness are weaknesses of our white brother's civilization. This means something to our paper later on.

Many actors in Detroit, as in other cities, are laying off, but the best are the ones running under new management, as E. V.

He was formerly of the team of Rory Heydler died last month. Then Eugene Johnson and wife, Fred Mansfield's singing number was the best. This boy can put over 100 songs, as an end man.

The以往戏团 is willing to be part to the performance, but old cranky Mrs. Nickens is not willing to pay the people.

THE PASSING SHOW IN WASH- (By Ar-W-Tee.) Owing to the business depression and uncertain conditions surrounding enterprises, a large scale of his big show, planned for the coming summer, until a later date. He will expand his vaudeville circuit and promote the creations he decided to showcase in the principal cities of the country, where the colored population justifies a goodly investment. With the help of his friends, Dudley says he could give a host of performers steady work at liberal salaries, and avoid these long "jumps" in earnings. The bulk of earnings on the railroads, "The three best houses in the country, under exclusive colored management." Washington, the Lafayette in New York and the Standard in Philadelphia. They have a big seating capacity, which allows low prices of admission, after giving a show that is worth while. Their stage will accommodate every kind of audience, and little houses can not handle the novelty acts that call for an abundance of width and height of stage, and plenty of lighting. The caller mentioned above could be erected and conducted at a handsome profit. Nashville, Memphis and Louisville, in the South; Pittsburg, Cleveland, De troit, Indianapolis St. Louis and Baltimore, Cincinnati and Chicago, and New York. With big houses in the strategic centers, assisted by the smaller houses, they are able to be of incalculable benefit to both the managers and the performers. Local up and local managers could carry them on successfully, knowing the peculiar situation of the fruit live. This is a large scheme, but is easily worked out, and it is worthy of the serious attention of all who work with it, to its own needs and reaping the fruits therefrom. I shall be glad to hear from the solid men of the country on --- The Billy King Stock Company, after a successful run in Jacksonville Fla., Mobile, Ala., and Charleston, W. Va. started out at the Howard last week, but owing to the loss of the music in the mails and a number of misunderstandings, the opening night did not show the company up to its true form. Miscalculation of time necessary to cover the vaudeville, the pictures and the play itself, ran the performance to too great a length and the interest of the great audience lagged to the extent that many left before the final curtain. After the first night, however, Managers King and Thomas "got together," and the revised show was an excellent one, and kept well within the usual limits. Billy King is a well-equipped comedian and a producer and is surrounded by a bunch of extraordinarily clever people. The production offered was "Two Bills from Alaska," and the fun and lively music kept going at a rapid clin throughout. The opening octette was a "scream," and the closing "rag" went fine, with Billy King in the lead. Hattle McF�tosh, now Mrs. Billy King, as "Miss Helen Summers," made a queen hostess, and Lilly Brown. Her ass- in-made brilliant picture in the society scene. Miss Brown's latest song hit, "Stay Down Here Where You Belong," especially adapted to the present war situation, compelled many encorers nightly, with a monster bo- on of American Bounty Rose starter on Monday evening. Marguerite Jackson, one of the race's sweetest and most cultured singers, carried things by storm, and Minnie Kelly. Maud Frisbie, and Mamie Gee had roles that fitted to a "T." Will DeMont, Frank DeLyon, Little Jett, Mr. Mills, and others added the strong of show. The orchestra was led by Arthur Scott, a skilled musician. The company is in Baltimore this week at the Orpheum for the first half, making Cambridge, Md., the second half, with a return to the Orpheum for the Master week. It is likely that Mr. King will come back to the Howard after finishing engagements already booked in the East. Within a few weeks Mr. King returns to Jacksonville, to open the new house built for him at a cost of more than $35,000. Fiddler & Shelton, Brooks & Bowen and the Venable-Owens Trio are drawing big crowds at the Howard this week. ... Manager A. J. Thomas, of the Howard, is the author of a number of books on the quality, quality, and be may be induced to put some of them on in the near future. Thomas A. Brooks, a colored comedian and song writer of note, was featured strongly by the "Sliding" Billy Watson Company, which played last week at the Sydney Theatre, a white burlesque house. Miss Carita Day, the ton-notcher of modern dancers and singing comedians, is expected here. Miss Day has not been seen on a Washington show, and she has been son, some years ago as the leading lady with Her re-appearance would be her Ren appearance would be Washburn have been "going big" Washburn have been "going big" stock company at Dudleys.

What it takes to instruct the folks on this important topic Mr. Byars and from long experience in handling both the performer and the public. warmly welcomed by the art-loving people of the nation's capital. Will A. Vodery, the eminent composer, formerly of the orchestra at the Howean Theatre, and who has staged attractions in a fashion that has won him commiunities at the hands of the metropolitan days in the city on business. It is possible that Mr. Vodery will locate here, as he regards Washington as the logi- cation of the North and South and the great highway between the East and the West. The Washington friends of Miss Daisy Martin, "the Bronze Eva Tanguay," are pleased to know that she has some property in a cosy cafe at 14th Street in Philadelphia, and will make it a point to call on her when they visit the Quaker City is impressing Miss Martin's inti- tious smile more firmly upon this com- tence upon some attractive, lucid cards and newspaper advertisements. Sims & Thompson, those standard comedians, got a judgment for their week's success in a recent law suit against the firm for failing to Fairland. This team put in three nights of their contract when the managers colored their tries cannon, then as the figure struck as being a "aetle high." They refused to be cancelled and reported for the firm to go on. The court ruled that they were entitled to their pay for the week and they got it. **Jeff DeMount, one of the best known performers in the country, died in Bali on August 10, long illness. He had been conducting picture enterprise before stricken with the illness which carried him off to the hospital. He was placed at the Allen A. M.

The Griffin Sisters have taken over the management of the Fairland prosperous days when Laken Kearney in this bailiwick, J. Ottoway Holmes one of Washington's real capitalists has entered the enterprise, and big dog managers may soon be necessary to accommodate the increased patronage. The Griffin still hold the lease to the Maiden as a good price, if certain legal technicalities can be gotten out of the way. These genial ladies do "business" with capital B, and promise to show Washa in a good wrinkles in the theatrical novelties soon. Manager Thomas is planning some radical changes in the balcony of the Howard, the effect of which will be made in the resort of fashion, superseding the regulation boxes in this respect. The first three rows are to be set out and the rest are to be about six persons, with a new style opera chair. Each section or fashion box is to be named after a popular interest being Tuskegee, Hampton, Fisk Lincoln, Wilberforce, Atlanta, Livingstone, and, of course, Howard. A fea-ture of the resort's tuneful victoria, to relieve the orchestra during the showing of the photo plays in the house. Manager Thomas is an inexhaustible fund of bright ideas. --- Miss Louise Cook, a Washington girl and a mezzo soprano of fine quality, has been a major music lover of the town last week at Dudley's.

NEW YORK WILL HAVE A NEW THEATRE (By Serlp.) New York is on the verge of having a new colored theater. "Frenchy" has just announced the picture house and erect on site a magnificent home for Negro vaudeville. There are many portents in the site. A Harlem manager in his new enterprise. He will have, first of all, the best location in Harlem, as one Hundred and a half years ago. He is one of the busiest black corners in the world. There, night and day, move the great throbbing mass of the theater, the opportunity to work in this American vineyard. And, second, so far as we can ascertain, the Harlem. He is the good Samaritan who comes to the aid of the unfortunate and distressed. He is, to use a hackneyed phrase, "one of the best." We do not know what will be the character of the vaudeville "Frenchy" will offer to the audience, but it will not be the type enthroned by the management of New York City's only colored playhouse. It will be pure and will create a new order of Negro theatricals. The colored citizens of Harlem have the deepest solicitation that he should relieve them from the orgies New Crown Garden Good Show House Has Been and will be Open Monday, April 5th Tim E.

The Williams Colored Singers were at Manhattan Casino last week, and rendered a program that was so much fun to watch in music of our race. The Williams Colored Singers' organization is the lead organization, and A benefit was given at New York's only colored playhouse last Sunday afternoon, featuring Europe's Orchestra J. Romero, M. B. Derrine B. Davies. The proceeds went to a certain orphanage. The performers were able because it was clean and inspiring.

Three acts playing the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, last week were treated in the most shameful manner, not only by a tough gang that infest the gallery of this theatre and ridicule acts that wish to please those that wish to see them, but the manager, John L. Gibson, who has been so often reported by performers playing this house that after the first show he wants to deduct the salary of the performers. He cut the salary of two acts, The Seven Roons, a white act, and our act, Ray & Saylor, the other act having left the bill after the first show through the treatment of the rough crowd in the gallery. So performers, beware of the Standard Theatre and side track this house. JACK MITCHEL GETS A DECISION OVER KID HAY, ST. LOUIS, MO.

Police officers stopped and tucked in tickets night night. Monday and Saturday nights. It was unanimously conceded that "His Excellency the President," Mr. Dodery, the Smart Set had ever played in Baltimore. Billy King and his incomparable players are making a brief and successful invasion of the north. Last week they were in Washington, D.C. This week at the Orpheum Theatre, Baltimore. Will Vodery, the popular musical director, song writer and composer, was the first to play in the gagement. Mr. Vodery is one of the best known musicians in New York. Every New York production of consequence, has one or more of Mr. Vodery's compositions. With Messrs. Hurd and Garrison, Mr. Vodery is the revival of Earnest Hogan's great show, "The Oyster Man." They expect to play in New York city, afterwards playing the large cities of the east. ... Andrew Thomas and George Byars made their annual visit to the Smart company, which would be engaged ment that city would be without this visit from these popular and successful managers. It is always a felicitous occasion in the form of a cockles and hearts hearty meal, the popular hotels of the city, and enough joy is spread to warm the cockles and hearts of the city. In the months, Andrew Thomas has kept Washington, D. C., on the theatrical map and is very deserving of his cockles and hearts of the city. thought lately married, wears the same indelible smile. He says marriage is like religion, not designed to make one's pleasures less. The company was happy to present it to the man so it presented Mr. Byars with a baby carriage. It is never too late to do good. Blanche Thompson is a genuine favorite in her home town. During the week several theater parties were held, and many happy recipient of many bouquets of beautiful flowers. James Woodson, bass wi the company, shared home with Mimi. It was difficult to tell he was at home. The boys and the balconies and galleries greeted him with loud applause and greeted his encouragement whenever he appeared. Fred Tildings, the noted politician of Baltimore, is always among the first to admit that Tildings is regarded as one of the best workers in the state, and any candidate is glad to have his services. He has always been on the winning side. --- Jay Gould, the popular race horse man, is still very much in evidence and a great favorite with the fair sex. He has each girl with the company a large box of fine candy. We won't mention the flowers and bouquets. Jay beat the money and made a no misser spender while the cash lasts. Sam Gardner, who replaced Matt Johnson in the part of Ellis Simpkins, is making a tremendous hit. Mr. Gardner is a character artist of rare importance, inviting numbered movies and dance, stage by George Boutte and O. D. Carter, his eccentric old man's dance brings numerous encores. Both joined the show in Baltimore. Both are taking important parts and efficient work. Since the closing of the Goldfield hotel, Tom Smith's place is unable to accommodate the people. The cabaret, where Madison Reed and other clever people sit, is now nightly. Good order prevails and "let joy be unconfined" is the motto. Joseph Castleberg & Son, jewelers, have moved from 106 North Eutaw street, Baltimore, to 322 West Baltimore, where they have a specialty of selling jewels to members of the theatrical profession and is known to nearly every colored box of jewels. The new store, which is without doubt the finest jewelry store in the United States, was the greatest store in Baltimore. The Washington Marine band of fifty pieces entertained. Thousands of peacock clamore entrances, 35,000 boxes, and much boxes. Floral remembrances from friends and business firms of the city amounting to thousands of dollars were displayed in the store. In the show cases were many wonderful and valuable pieces of jewelry. A necklace, with sixty pearls and valued at $0,000, excited the admiration of all eyes. Mr. Castleberg was presented with a bronze tablet by his employer. It bears this following inscription: To Joseph Castleberg, from his employees. A tangible manifestation of the importance and magnificence lasting tribute of the esteem with which he is regarded as man and employer, 1915. The store is one of the best equipped in the country. The ground CLOSE WITH MINSTREL. Fred Kewley, clarinetist, and Ralph Redmond, trombonist, have closed with the G. Allen show and are now located at Houston avenue, Port Arthur, Texas.

Frank Moland would like to hear from George Motts. PROF. EPH WILLIAMS' SILAS GREEN COMPANY. (By Leon the Magician.) The show bid Florida good by Friday, March 19th, and played one stand in Georgia. Laid over in Savannah, South Carolina, where we are now playing to good business nightly. Leo Knox, as Slasa Green from New Orleans, is carrying the ball and is still playing the straight. Will Goff, as Uncle Ben, is as good as ever. Miss Rebecca Redman, our leading lady, had to go home to come to the death of her mother. She went home from Beaufort, S. C., Wednesday, March 24th. The olio opens with Ella Mills, the pop star, sings, Willie Adams, known as "Slim Jim" from Savannah, Ga., cleaning them up. Slim is now playing trombone in the band and "At the Million Dollar Tango Ball." Then comes back with some buck and takes two and three curtain calls every night. Then comes Formula, and dances. The Great Adams Comedy Trick Cyclic, who closes the isole, is great. Mr. Geo. Smith is the leader of the band, who composes the jessie Wesson Sarah Wilds, Slaa Austin, trombones; Lawrence Booker, Geo. floor is divided by a partition half way back, and this in turn, is sub-divided into various offices for those managing the company. Mr. Castleberg's private office, other offices and the manufacturing plant. The color scheme of the first floor is white and the second, cherry and mahogany. Mr. Castleberg sent for your correspondent and informant to hospitalize entertained in his magnificent private office. Mr. Castleberg merits the enviable place of high esteem he occupies among business professionals. He concealed the warm blood in his veins and made of him a solid, heartless automaton. When he grasps one by the hand, it is with no meaningless hobbie in mind. How do you do?" comes from the heart and one feels that here is a man who has lost sight of humanity in successful climb to fame and fortune. --- Mr. Sunday in eleven towns, received a best salaried theatrical artist has not dreamed of receiving a like amount and says he refused flattering offers to return to baseball. Who can blame him, he says, because he cladly exchange payrolls with him. Mr. Sunday's finance committee expressed regret that the church in Philadelphia, threatened not to pass the $4,300 mark. It is Mr. Sunday's dramatic appeal. It is the church that Will Mr. Sunday deny that he has not studied his different poses, facial expression, gestures and mannerisms, that excite so much comment and praise. What is what all the artistical artists try to do, individualize. Never heard of Christ receiving vast sums for preaching the gospel. I knew a minister, a graduate of Lincoln College, who felt called to preach to the church. What is the church where he received less than $3 weekly. During the week he worked at odd jobs and studied. Sunday he worked at the church. His wife and child refused to share his poverty and left him. Still he struggled. He worked and he worked not for earthly reward. Would Mr. Sunday do this? While looking in a show window at an Easter basket, little poorly tugged at the skirts of one of our girls, she turned: "Are you going to get anything new?" with quivering voice while great tear drops stood in his eyes. The girl screamed: "I hardly will I will," she answered, "will you get anything new?" For a moment the boy looked at the window and then in a voice that would have melted a heart of stone: "I will be new for Easter. Papa has been sick for three years an' I ain't had nuthin' for three Easters." Where where, and Mrs. Sunday were invited down town to select their Easter presents. Mrs. Sunday selected two of the other $18. Mr. Sunday's only cost $150. What about the little tots in every city and town who would be glad of the crumbs from Billy's table. NOTES FROM THE F. C.

BEAUMONT, TEXA, April 2.—The panic and other misfortunes that the A. G. Allen's bunch experienced during last month's dawn, seem to affect little months later, in order to help him from administering and abiding with our boys at all. We have had three weddings within the same town, Beaumont, Texas. The sweet and the strange coincidence is that all of the marriage licenses were procured from the same town, Beaumont, Texas. We were little were little Irma White and Emmit Berger, they being popular members of our company. We went to Beaumont and were married before the play showed there. Mr. Bolsy Grey married two weeks later. His bride went from Navasota and made her Beaumont, where they were happily married. The last to take unto himself a wife was our popular comedian, Mr. Gennan White, who was very happily united with his wife, Beaumont, to charm Miss Alice Roberts, of Port Arthur, Texas. They also procured their license from Beaumont, the first time they looked out, boys, when you are traveling through Texas and steer clear of Beaumont, else you'll get caught. Underalph Redmond, extends best regards of The Freeman, and to the profession. MAY FILE SUIT IN FILM CO. FOR SCENES IN "THE NIGGER."

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS TELE ACCOUNT UP TO THE MINUTE JOHNSON-WILLARD FIGHT SYM POSIUM. Expert Opinions and Comment Gathered from Far and Wide. (Arranged by Billy Lewis.) Very much is being said of the Johnson-Willard go at this time; much more than is given him before the fight, the more than before the fight, the more to give the better part the most interesting things being of this, the contest for the heavyweight champion of Jack Johnson himself. It practically conceded that Jack is the best of his day. Not only is he brought, perhaps, to the lucky son of Cestus. And much as has been said of him reveling in his morals he has done fairly well in little Willie one time went to certain school. He, nor his folks, were up on some points. The mother of Willie points with the father, raising the parents to give the same. The irate father replied to the hotness of his feeling, saying, "Little Willie is no robe. Teach him. Don't smell him." Jack Johnson What follows will be gleanings gathered from here and there, given in the support of the proposal. Johnson will be his day. Some of it will be the opinions and statements of others boiled down and given in my own words, as much as possible in a little book as possible in a little book. Some one said Jack Johnson will dispose of Jess Willard despite the fact that he will be the first in the ring as fit looking as a Poland China prize winner. "The champion's skill will enable him to blind his opponent first, then slip him into the ring." The statement carries with it the thoughts that Johnson in the early part of his engagement with Jeffries nearly cracked one of the old master's options as suit as it is said of those sea "monsters" that are happily alive after having been plugged in the dimly lit sublime the champ will choose his own grounds of defense, attacking when exposed, otherwise reating under the burr pressure. The enemy is sore and exhausted. This a theory. But in my opinion Johnson will not be quite so cowardly. He may not unduly expose himself, but he will do some of the aggress- At this time it is not necessary to release the routine of the camp—the training, the alarms have been maintained that the alarms have been maintained by distinguished people, from the President of Cuba down. Says a note picked up on the site is here on the yacht Waveray, visited both training camps today. He is planning a large parade, according to arrangement will take place Monday at 12:30 p.m. March 5, at Havana, Cuba, in the ocean area, stadium, and plan has been completed for stands at the Marina race course to accommodate between 29,000 and 40,000 people. Plans have been completed for stands at the Marina race course to accommodate between 29,000 and 40,000 people. It is expected that the box and ringside to be sold principally to tourists and sightseers has been reported to be in the best condition. One writer comes up with a bit of new and rather interesting dope. It is a long story, too long to reproduce in detail, but it is worth producing who truly. In effect it is that Johnson is a product of superstition—the most superstitious Negro on earth, and he is not a man of religion. He says that Johnson has no particular form of religion. Because he can not understand, he sacrifices his life to be救救 entirely. He lives in voodoo rites, and the power for good and bad contained in the warnings of dreams. Johnson's father is one of the things that is sacred to Johnson. In his youth the elder Johnson was somewhat of a spiritualist, and he made many teachers, father teachings, and always numbered them. When the old man died, twenty years ago, Jack resolved that he should be a teacher and the teachers of his father before men any important move, and benefit accordingly. Accesses of time I have had a direct warning from my dead father," declares Johnson. "Time and time strain he has appeared to me in dreams of coming and being bound to the wrong end, and was bound to put into trouble. All the difficulties in which I have been involved might have been overcome." My father gave me in dreams." This is a new version of Mr. John. This is an entry on his religious visions or his religious all that. But before we drink in what his commentator says to the dresgs it best to have a first handed opinion on what he says, and that he gives himself out as a devotee of voodooism. To be true, this "sci-fi" is vague and uncertain; but it is known to profess it with pride. Jack is much too proud to sail, knowingly, under such a religious or barbarian ban. He is a visual vision is what kept Johnson out of Mexico, and not Carranza or the United States authorities. If such be the case, think it rather lucky he dreamed dreams. The following bit of Jack Curley biography, the Johnson-Willard fight promoter, is "Jack Curley, who may have made a reputation for himself when he pro- tested the Goth and Hackenschildmil- ter in a $80,000 gate, and who has since occu- pied as much space in the daily pa- ter of the United States as war news, he has been in staging a finish fight between Jack Johnson and Jess Willard, the Giant, would make a fine model for a artist who is looking for something to be in a dark day in the life of J. Curley it hung in its gloom over anybody who was been within the Curly radius." Curley has not found his managemen- agement plan. After he had ruffled the f'd front as to the lo- rence of the fight Willard became amidling. $4,000 advance money. He would not begin in preparing until Curly came across. He had to satisfy the obstreps Willard. Manager Curley, in writing to an American friend, said in part: "Not pay any attention to state- mate's will. But a white and black man would. It would be positive political and not official to take such a matter. Don't forget to prepare for a battle with headlines announcing a david witness." admonition is all right in the sense of seeing up one's courage to the stakes by covering up one's courage to the manager is right in standing up to the man for his man. But in this case it is wise is wise enough to place a little counter on Johnson's shoulder to cover up the onexposure getting back home without attachment proceedings. Johnson is not without his courtroom where he goes. This note is circulation about him down in Ha-"Johnson had a little more legal trouble yesterday in his last court proceeded valuable to him and he did it without the aid of a lawyer. One Johnson's former training partners charged him with causing his trunks, but Johnson the erstwhile partner owned him money and that he was keeping the trunks for security. He got away with it." Captain Cushman A. A. Rice, Cuban-American sportsman, the Willard-Johnson battle has come out with a statement widening his opposition to the fight, with this statement. Would-be Slayer of Big Smoke and his Training Partners in Cuba Preparing for Obsequies THE BOXING FIGHTERS Left to Right—Charlie Hemphill, Tex O'Rourke, Jess Willard, Walter Monahan and Jim Savage. support from Rice's American friends here for the battle. The captain is rich and influential, one of the richest Americans on the island, and no one on the island was not intentional, no one would complete it. Will it do pro tem. In a racial war between blacks and white, it would years ago Rice and other plantation owners really. Rice feared the Johnson-Willard warble would stir up another racial war, and for this reason decided to oppose it. "A week ago Rice visited a number of plantation owners and rounded them up, and was anxious to see the battle here but not ing it for business reasons alone. After several days in the interior he re-regulated the belief that the plantation owners could control the situation and prevent any racial feel among the people feeling convinced that the battle would have been a political or industrial ill-effects, then withdrew his opposition. In these problems I am opposed to a white man fighting a Nazi Captain Rice. "However in this case it seems necessary that some white man should regain the title and perhaps be able to take personal objection to Johnson; he is a wonderful fighter. I always have admired his finished work, but I beware of his champions, would greatly benefit the boxing community. Rice took the stand that England took, having in mind her colonial possesses, that he saw view when he concluded it was best to go on because it might restore the championship to the white race. Negro as I am, I yet feel that if I were to win, I would urge man after man against Johnson until he fell. Johnson will fall, but the h—of it is that he may win. I would not change the chance. I would not change the program. I would "exhaust" the present string of hopes, then I would raise some. Which this column for close-up information on the fight.

The likeness is a cut of Ed Rogers, the present owner of the famous Spru- kers, and Rogers Rogers, the known baseball man, having held the controlling interest in the Spru-ler agen- tment up this year under his sole management that will surpass any ever gotten up this year.

Miller is widely known as a hard man to beat, having pitched seventeen games in the 1912 season, and had the pleasure of beating his old team mates, the A B C's, last season, and also shut out the White Sox, whom Miller likes to work against. Miller is wide receiver in 1913, Chapple Johnson, well known in baseball, will have sole management of the boys on the field. Chapple is wide receiver and one of the best receivers the world has ever produced. With Chapple and McMurray behind the bat, the combination cannot be beaten. Jim Norman, a former New York Giants player, Goo, Brown, A, Dunbar, Ed, Harrison, Gillard and McLaughlin, are others who will be seen with the Sprudels in season. Miller will have their opening game with the Salem, Ind., club, following with the famous Gunthers, of Chicago; then will come the Terro Cox game, then B C's, White Sox and St. Louis Giants. H. P. DREW FINDS RUNNING HARD WORK THESE DAYS. Howard P. Drew, the fastest amateur sprinter in the world, for the first time in his career as an athlete is beginning to find the sport known as running. He is preparing himself for sprint races, in which he has made an international name for himself, pleasant, but the outlook for a session of training is promising spring and summer don't measure up to the standard of fun that it once did. The plain truth is that Drew has grown from a mere 10-year-old man with many and varied interests, which are beginning to crowd him for time and interest as well. Drew writes to a New York friend: "To tell you the truth I'm getting tired of the game (running). I feel that I have done well in the last three years, but, on the other hand, look at the fact that there was the breakdown at Stock- THE FREENAN.

Both Chassagne and Duray have in the French army, but are free to race at Indianapolis. Holm. I have been timed 9 4-5 seconds for the hundred seventeen times on all kinds of tracks in different parts of the country, but not once have the most lucky enough to have the combination of a track and a track's good petition, and perfect air conditions at the same time. You know as well that a ridiculous for men pick out a day and time one any other sprinter to do 9 3-5 seconds. The same sprinter that will do it one day will fall just enough short of it. It is another to be times a whole fifth slower. A day lost with a sprinter is a day forever gone, and with most of us days are few. If I was not in the same place that I would hang my shoes right now. I would have after just as much work. Besides five hours work each day at the University of Southern California Drew is taking a full course and he is swinging the job as assistant manager of the U. S. C. track team.

Rube claims that he has a stronger team than he had last year, or the season prepares and poises for the first six games they played this season at New Orleans, before coming to Fresno to battle Portland. That Walter McCredie and all of the veteran Beavers have a great deal of respect for the Colored Giants is at- tempted.

They remember that this same aggregation tackled them two years ago when the team was training at Vulcan, and then for part of the five games played.

Foster, who in his day was one of the greatest pitchers, regardless of color, the game has ever seen, has been up. More than one of them has enough class to be in major league circles if his skin were white. There is Petway, who is the most McMaryan, of the New York Giants, at one time remarked that he would like to whitewash, while other members of the aggreve would be sought after. Much more were the barred from competing in organized baseball circles. A pair of McCredie's new pitchers—Leonard and Coveleskie—won the first Colored Giants at Recreation Park yesterday afternoon by a score of 7 to 3. Coveleskie gets the victory, inasmuch he went in at the opening of the game. WHAT JESS WILLARD HAS TO SAY WILL PURSUE DIFFERENT TACTICS. Jess Willard, speaking of the approaching fight, had the following to say. "You may rest assured that I am not going to fight Johnson the way the other white lads have been accused of. I am not going to Frank Moran, and even the late Stanley Ketchel made the mistake of rushing the colored fellow early in the battle, and then permitted his foes to wear themselves out, and then they would be easy for him. I intend to make Johnson come to me at the beginning of the battle. I will wear him down with solid left jabs that will put him into a position for me, so I easily with my right arm to scoot easily with my right last more than twenty-five rounds. "I have fought Johnson before, but to position myself out to knock me out, I failed utterly. If he couldn't put me away, or even knock me down when I was only a mere novice, it is quite unlikely that I would be the trick now, so many years later." WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTS. HAVANA, March 27.—Richard Klegin, director of arrangements of the hospital, told me that he held here on April 16, was taken to the hospital last night, suffering with scarlet fever. Klegin had been in freezing conditions, and fears were expressed that the principals might have become infected. The Carliile Indian school will play baseball after dropping the national sport for a period of five years. The backers of Willard point to the fact that Johnson has never met a man the size of Jess, and they say that the man will intimidate Johnson. Willard's gameness has never been thoroughly tested, but it will surely be given a severe trial if he meets Johnson. Hannes Kolehmainen, of Finland, was the runner in the world in the ice losing his leg, due to blood poisoning. The trouble started with a boll between his knee and the doctor himself. Two weeks ago an infection set in. The Finn's leg is swollen to the hip and he is in great pain.

Hannibal has signed articles for another fight with Watts at Terre Haute, Ind., in three weeks. The men will make a side bob of $100 each.

The opening event is to be a bout between Mike King and Jeff Smith, middleweights. A physical examination by an American physician of Johnson disclosed the fact that the heavyweight champion is fine condition; that he is enjoying perfect health; and that all the organs are normal. He declared that his condition was rare, and that he would eight years of age.

WEST BADEN, Ind.-Jack Hannibal was knocked out before the West Bath Athletic game on March 22, by Jack Hannibal who claims the championship at 156 pounds. The fight was fast and scientific; and first, he wrestled things, one after another, with have thought Hannibal the trainer, by him keeping Watt's always against the ropes. In the fifth round Hannibal was knocked out by Watt's jaw, but with no effect, as Watt's was getting away, and he caught Hannibal with a chop blow that met his left temple and dropped his head. The crowd yelled for Hannibal to get us, thinking it was a put up job, and in the mixup the referee turned to push Watt's back, forgetting to count. Hannibal was knocked down and then started to count. Watt's trainer, who was at the ring side, rushed in, attempting to strike the referee, saying he was trying to save Hannibal. During the discussion Hannibal got up which left the spectators wonder-ing, "What happened to the one believed later that Hannibal was out, but say he wasn't given a chance to play?" The nature of the show was a battle royal, which ended with four Of the fighters winning. The young featherweight, bested Battling Smith (white) in the preliminary round. HEAVYWEIGHT COWBOY OUTCLEASSED BY DILLON Hoosier Boxer is Out With Challenge to Fight Mike Gibbons. New York—Jack Dillon, Indianapolis light heavyweight, trounced Cowboy Tom McCarty in their ten-round bout at the Broadway Sporting Club March 2. McCarty assimilated a lot of punishment. Johnny Dundee outfought Benny Leonard in a fast ten-round bout at the new One-hundred-and-thirty-fifth Street A. C. McCarty outweighed the Hoosier over ten pounds but the handicap was not apparent. Dillon was faster on his feet, a better boxer, and was sturdy enough to stand any of McCarty's punches without a trap. In style, and when McCarty stood up and slugged at this style he was outclassed. Dillon showed a splendid punch, and he won a lot of friends at the fight. The Indianapolis boxer, although weighing close to 170 pounds, insists that he can scale down to 158 pounds five hours before a fight, and he is out with a challenge to fight Mike Gibbons, who was returned victor over Eddie McGoorty, in Hudson, Wis., last night.
