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.

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.

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.

One of the committee said: “I object to the scene of a brutal Negro chasing a white girl. ‘That is not @ 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 Bos ton, appeared at Bethel A. M. ©. church Inst Monday night where he was greeted by an audience that was large and appreciative. The quality o his listeners was striking. They, were mostly thoughtful persons, and from all walks of life, the intellectual classes predominating. Many came t see the man who sprang into prom fnence by talking to President Wil son's head—curiosity prompted indi viduals, They wished to hear from ‘Trotter what Trotter said on that oc casion. Mr, ‘Trotter recited the incident with ‘the utmost care, leading up tc {t by giving the experiences of his Teague 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, prosel3 told, 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 wa: said by every individual present at the White House scene, was what helped to make the talk spirited an¢ acceptable—his narrations. It is ap parent that Mr. Trotter was cut out for a business man. He is a graduate of Harvard, a fact which might be dis coverable by the orderly arrangement ‘of his topies and the scope he covers in dealing with them. His fine poise, in spite of the sometime slightly hes itating word, his knowledge of his sub. ject and judgment of thought, not words always, showed that he was é man of education and understanding However, it takes a summing up of al of these things. to lift Mr. Trotter ou of the common run of men, as he ap pears 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, leav: ing no doubt as to what he said o1 meant. Mr. Trotter’s audience was a beauty for attention, and seeming apprecia. tion. 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 was slightly humorous at times, due to the situation. He closed with ah earnest appeal to the colored peo: ple to stand together so as to with: Stand 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 s0- ciety has imprisoned for its protec tion, and the state has been guilty of the ‘most mereiless neglect of those who Were friendless, penniless beings, who, in many instances, placed their lives at the merey of the tribunals o} the commonwealth.” ‘This was the language of the com. mittee, 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 1s. The author ities in more commonwealths than one have had their attention called to this practice, but with what success we are not so, sure, The trend, nev- ertheless, is {n‘the right direction. The head of the famous Sing Sing 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 thelr parents, and are ever sullen to them as whipped curs or lions, await ing 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 in- violate—sacred. We do not mean to say that children should not be pun- ished; 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 woman- hood, even those that were mild and “sweet” under the lash, when young, object unanimously to ‘the things as no part of their punishment no mat ter where they are. There are other modes of punish: ment, and which answer all concerned very much better. A well known In- diana professor in expressing his views on punishment, in schools had much to say on restoring the equilib: rium, He held it that the child knew when it had done wrong and that it suffered mental torture until punish- ment was ministered that fitted the deed—the infraction, Wholesomeness, sweeiness 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 repri mand always, but the thought. So- clety 1s served when men are shut up in prisons, cut off from society. Prison authorities should be satisfled when tefractory Individtials are further lim- ited by further shutting them up— ‘separate from their customary ways ‘and companions. We admit that it te 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 hot foree a white ‘man to vacate a seat in favor of & Negro where the ear is not _marked by a definite sex regation line. We take this to mean foe the white man had taken a seat in the part of the car set apart for colored. people. This seems to, be mixiag up things fight along. The possible hard part of it is that it may Feduce to that hateful fact, that the Negro has no rights that_a white man ia bound to respect. ‘The other hopettl thing, however, is possible— the breaking up of those solld masses of blacks which tend to fix classes. In other words, it may be a way of un doing ‘the mischief. In one of the Teading theatres of Indianapolis. the management reserves a section of the gallery for the colored patrons. At first only colored persons were per mitted to sit in the section, White persons seeing this would turn to dther parts of the house. Some whe ‘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 seats but they were so persistent in sitting there that the management refused longer to interfere, Now the white patrons occupy the section, practical ly, 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 par teular section. Tt 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 al ‘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 con dition, These white patrons pay no at tention to other seats nor to the col- ored people sitting where they care to-among them. This is fine proof of the theory that when the races are let alone, left with- ‘out so much legal juggling they finally adjust themselves to situations which would not be when supervised by laws we mean proseriptions—they are pot laws. ‘The mixup of the races in the gallery of the Thdianapolis theatre destroys an ugly object lesson sub- stituting one that is agreeable to those concernéd and in harmony with the spirit of our laws. Had that solid mase of blacks remained, unshotted through with the white people, many a iynite 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, 50 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 crows on a bum up in—well, up- Stairs, 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 first rows of ‘the preferred part of the theatre. So: cial intermingling, social chats, ex- ‘change 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 at- tractive, at times when they laugh out too loud or in the wrong place. We tender all of this in the inter- est 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 80 ugly as it might appear. BLUE GRASS CAPITAL. Kentucky Youth Won Home Oratori- cal Contest a tOberlin College—Mrs. ©. E.

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 --- Fiddler & Shelton, Brooks & Bowen and the Venable-Owens Trio are drawing big crowds at the Howard this week. ... Manager A. J.

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.

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.

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. I -rd s shrdcoefcmf eocmf eocnfwfh ALABAMA MINSTRELS ORGANIZE STRONG BASEBALL CLUB. Will Wear Tango Suits and Challenge All Minstrel Ball Teams. Members of the Alabama Minstrels have organized a strong baseball team, which will be managed by Hamp Harper, the baseball star. The management assists the team in baseball teams. 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.

They came in for performance, and were "My Crooney," melody, "Apache," intermezzo, "When It's Night Time in the theater," comedy, motion pictures contributed to the enjoyable nature of the performance.

STAY 'WAY FROM BEAUMONT TEXAS WANT TO GET MARRIED. Three Couple of A. G. Allen's Minstrel Catch the Fever While They Catch the Fever While They (By Ralph Redmond.) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The team that they have been working hard to get into the best of condition for this series. 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. The lineup of the Colored Giants in the game today will be as follows: by Europe in with the first Arthur Duray, Sunbeam and been serving Barber, 1b; Hill, l. f.; Duncan, c. f.; McNair, r. f.; Santop, or Petway, c.; Reinhman, b.; Wickware, Gatewood, Whitworth, Ball or Jenkins, p.

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.

EVANSVILLE, IND.-Jack Hannibal, middleweight of this city, was knocked out by the New York, Ind. March 23, in a bout at West Baden, Ind. 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. Reginald Baker, the Australian boxing promoter, has opened one of the biggest boxing contests in lbourne, where he intends to stage boxing contests.

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.
