Secretary Taylor, of the Y. M. C. A., celebrated the tenth anniversary of his connection with that institution in a quiet way last Tuesday. Boston will have the next meeting of the National Negro Business League which will be held in that city, August 18-20. This meeting will take away the bad taste of "The Birth of a Nation" that city recently had to endure. The League had its beginning in Boston fifteen years ago. Remarkable strides have been made by the Negroes in all directions since 1890, the year of its organization, much of which is due to its influence. The Y. M. C. A. management is having next week what is called the County Fair and Industrial Exhibit. A free auto is an advertised feature. This means a popularity contest. The one receiving the highest number of votes at ten cents gets an automobile. This rather tempting offer has caused quite a ripple among the populars and the wouldbe populars. It is a most excellent time to try out one's friends. The contest will be watched with great interest. Since it is clearly shown that Germany had no intention to provoke a quarrel with the United States there why be besieged standing should not come about. The disaster to the Lusitania was like a bomb, but it is shown that there were misunderstandings. That vessel was armed or not armed. It did or did not carry munitions of war. These will come out unmistakably in a court of inquiry. Where's the chance for a scrap? This has in view that Germany will be governed by the evidence. The news that Dr. G. W. Buckner United States minister to Liberia, has concluded to give up his post will be received with astonishment in political circles generally. Dr. Buckner is now at home in Evansville, Ind. inability to educate his children properly in the African republic is the reason given for his decision. The doctor, however, declines to affirm or deny the story. The ministership to Liberia is the most important appointment given by the present administration up until this time. The silence on his part as to his reason for resigning is rather significant from a political viewpoint. The Democrats have already lost Editor Trotter and Bishop Walters, and it may be that this resignation means a further desertion of Negroes from the ranks of Democracy. A. Washington, D. C., news letter seen in a Chicago publication, takes a thrust at Madam C. J. Walker of this city saying that her donations to charity were advertising boosts, or words to that effect. The attack was owing to the madam's attitude growing out of the harp case. The writer was cruel in the effort to be little a woman who has done so much in helping the movements of this city which have charity as their end. She has given liberally, and if it were meant as an advertisement it is no more or less than what big white concerns do. They give, and let it be known that they give. So far as her determination to keep her purse closed in the future, that's her business. We regret very much this decision, and hope that she will change her mind. She has a right to fight her about it. The article could have been in a more charitable strain since it seeks to reprove the madam for her sudden loss of the charitable spirit. The writer should have shown charity in a superior degree as it becomes those that would teach a thing. Doubtless she is willing to be reasoned in an effort to change her mind. But a woman who has sense enough to get together all the money she's got not will be driven to do anything. The following paragraph clipped from a DesMoines, Iowa, paper and forwarded to this office will explain in part our reason for dwelling at length on special laws: "The city council on Monday sidestepped the question of the alleged discrimination against Negroes by the剧院. A report from the law department said the council had the right to adopt a city ordinance prohibiting discrimination although there is a state law on the same subject. Representatives of the Negroes maintained the state law is ineffective. The report was received and filed." The writer had seen the article of this publication referring to the civil rights bill of Pennsylvania. He insisted that there were two sides to the question. We hope he will not get the mistaken notion that we are against special laws. We deplore the fact that we must have them and insist that they are not downright necessities. This is particularly true in Iowa where the state supports the constitution of the United States, as shown by Mr. Carlson. The Negroes of that locality of course, may be beat by shrewd lawyers, but just the same, no condition can arise with the colored people to rights which can be construed as the privileges of citizens that can find itself outside of that scope—Section 2, Article IV of the original constitution. The enforcement is the necessity. THE SECOND NOTE. In the last issue we took the liberty to say that the second note to Germany by our country would not greatly differ with the first one. This view was taken because the situations were thoroughly covered, and all was asked that could be reasonably asked of that country. If the language is stiffer it is where the Lusitania happening is discussed, when speaking to the legality of Germany's submarine warfare which made possible such a hawking, Britain on its chance of Germany to reasonably hold out against what the United States expects. It is true that the Lusatian happening is rather vigorously discussed, the contention from our side being that that vessel was not armed, that it carried no cargo of munitions of war, and so forth, as alleged by the German government, yet through it all is indication of a peaceful outcome. These things are set forward rather sifty, but none the less in a conciliatory way, as proof to the contrary is asked by President Wilson, thus assuring the fact that the truth will rule. The facts can not fall to come out in the investigation. The President seems to feel confident that Germany will govern itself in the particular by whatever may be the facts. Our country will not have such plain sailing when it comes to having Germany change its present mode of submarine warfare, the subject of the succeeding paragraph of President Wilson's note. However, within the last few days sentiment has swung somewhat about in Germany's favor as it concerns England's starvation campaign. The sentiment is quite natural to thoughtful men who are in earnest for a fair deal. The President spoke feelingly of what humanity expected and the rights of neutral nations to the freedom of the seas in any event, yet this would not weigh much if England maintained a dead wall of prohibition about the shores of Germany. This is the only real danger spot in the controversy. It is the rock, and England alone can remove it. The other happenings, as distressing as they were, were only the incidents of war. At no time has there been cause for war. When the Lusitania went down it was thought that it was fairly a declaration of war; that Germany had purposely destroyed the vessel to inflame the citizens of the United States. This great happening, following on the heels of the lesser ones did look like a direct challenge to our country. But Germany has disavowed all intent to harm our shipping or our citizens. It has offered apology and reparation. We may call this a victory, if we choose, but it is no more than that conduct which one civil person shows another. In all due respects to the rather pro-allocations sentiment in this country, and which taints nearly all of us not of Teutonic blood, we insist that Germany, in so far as it appears on the surface, has offered every honorable amend that addition can offer, either to England lifts its bread blockade, Germany will not be given to blind desperation, striking out left and right in the effort to protect its own. QUITE A COMPLIMENT. From time to time this publication is complimented on what it has to say on current topics. It would be a sign of too much conceit if we were to publish everything that comes to us along this line. We say too much conceit advisedly, because conceit is a necessary ingredient to man's preservation. We all have it. The danger is in having too much, or at least, in exhibiting too much of it. Recently C. F. Chectzilz, as he signs himself, traveler and lecturer, saw fit to express himself approvingly of editors seen in this publication. In this he was so unique and yet simple that what he said, we think, is worthy of publicity. His letter is lengthy, dealing with the European war situation. He begins, saying: "As a matter of fact your newspaper is a peer of Afro-American journals—because, first on account of its wide circulation—secondly, because of the purity of its editorial column. Now sir, because of the ethical standard by which such editions are rendered, I hasten to commend your editorials on "Germany's Note" and "Africa and the Negroes." "Purity of its editorial columns," that's the thing that makes the hit with us. Some tried in the fire, and not found wanting American statesman said that he would rather be right than president. Maybe it was Henry Clay, or, perhaps, John C. Calhoun. It sounds very much like either one of those doughty "warriors." The thought is in keeping with what the lecturer had to say of us. It was not a mighty thing by way of words, or fine phrases, and in that fact the compliment rests; it rings like the truth of the heart that spoke it. The expression does not seem studied, but spontaneous. Seeing ourselves as others see us, is that Bobbie Burns exclamatory desideratum which is so easily in front when men are in the reflective mood. Mr. Checlzzil is a foreign Negro, and of good education as may be noted by his article in the issue of last week. He has traveled the world over with his eyes open. Observation and memory are his forte. His view of the European strife is interesting, because it bespels the writer's wide survey of the greater movements of men and nations. He is not an English partisan; he gives his own reasons, and on which we do not feel called on to enlarge him in the We speak of his ability and his sense of independence which declares for manhood without any kind of qualifications, the only kind that's worth while—that which other men enjoy. He has paid us the finest compliment possible for man to utter, as we view it, when he said, "because of the purity of its editorial columns." And we have striven long to make it possible for him to say such a thing. Not with a method, looking forward to the thing as a reward, but with the hope of putting things in the right light as God gives it to us to see the right. The object has been to be eminently fair, trying to discover some plausible ground, some possible good in every movement, even when against the Negro race. Thus trying to exhibit a spirit of unwillingness to THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. believe that fate had arbitrarily stacked the cards against us. We do not like to scan fair faces on the streets that are other than indices to fair souls—not whited sepulchers—the faces of those who say, abide your time, all will be right in the end. If not tomorrow, then in a thousand years. And all is well if there is an unbroken tread to the panacea, even if it should be no less than the stretch of years. This is not faithless to our own. Their wrongs are as strongly opposed as ever. The oppressors have taken no uncontested steps, nor will they at any time whatever be the motive. Out of this oppression and contention comes the slow advance; but it is advance. And as long as it is such we have every reason to be hopeful of the end all of us have in view.

There hearts that are heavy grow lighter, And hopes that are fading glow bright- Tender fairies of rest, Tender harmless soil Sweet blooms from our breast In beautiful, wonderful dreamland. There's a paradise land where the troubled find peace; It's dreamland, sweet dreamland; It's an enchanted land where our breath is wonderful. This dreamland, sweet dreamland. We may raumble at will thru its mystical All its wealth to command, all its beauties are ours; Oh! the ravishly joy of those magical powers. In dreamland, sweet dreamland.

Nor trouble, nor grief can oertake us. Angels bright from above. Shelter us in the dark and appeal to the beautiful, wonderful dreamland. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY. Never has William Jennings Bryan presented such an imposing figure as in his present valiant stand for peace. Serene and unperturbed by the baying seahorses, he scathing criticism and sardonic remarks of the jingo press, with indolentness, stands forth a mighty conqueror. Taking God for his shield, Truth for his weapon, his conscience guide, the rule of law, peace goes forth to fight a courageous battle for humanity. That God will bless him who will have to do the fighting and suffering should war be declared. In the theatrical world, the wails of complaint, arising from those who claim to have been betrayed by friends, are a common theme in investigation will reveal the fact that most of these so-called acts of friendship were prompted by selfish motives. The act of betrayal, "down and out," for selfish interests offers him a job at a reduced figure, in the guise of friendship. Ever after, the manager at that reduced figure. The actor's failure to do so is called a betrayal of friendship. Another manager employee an actor who is practically an idiot, will be good, becomes popular. He has many STAGE NOTES: Mr. P. L.

Scott Joplin's latest musical creation is wonderfully beautiful and sure to be a sensational success. His Prologue, written by the author, the satirist and descriptive title under which Scott Joplin's latest musical oddity is known, People familiar with his work are unaware of the best things he has done.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA. As far as the eyes could reach crowds were lined up in front of the stage, the Theatre every night this week to see Baldwin, Braxton and Carter, the headliners, in their athletic act, who made their graceful gyrations, dancing and singing; Braxton with his one string instrument and a sensual voice, cultivated, not there, is something pleasant in Miss Baldwin's voice and nothing of the bad manner of those who do not realize their limitations. This, with the young woman's performance charming in every sense, it is an act that all Europe went wild for. They are in their second week and they keep the audience in roars of laughter all the time. The Wolf Duo sang, played on the mandolin, piano and banjo and did not permit any laxity in endeavor to perform centric dancing, singing and comedy, is a succession of laugh compelling ensembles, the quality of the bill in general and offers for advancement. He goes to his employer and asks for a raise in his salary. He then asks that his friend should compel the actor to continue in his employ regardless of fame or salary. The actor's failure to do so was disciplined as a crime against friendship. One actor does another a good turn; the debt causes him to himself under gallling bonds of obligation. The impossibility of ever discharging the debt causes a break, and by that friend is called by that friend as a modern Judas. Instances of like kind are innumerable, but through all, salishness and masculinity easily can masquerading in the gulse of friendship. The things that count are the little things. It is the little acts, unconsciently committed that disclose themselves too great to take account of the small things will always be too small to cope with the great ones. On the stage, as elsewhere, it is the little things that count. Every little act of costuming and makeup should be carefully handled. Gestures and facial expressions should be studied and rehearsed before a performance. Every detail of deportment upon the stage should be observed minute by minute, a step too many may make or kill" an entrance or exit. Every detail of each word, the placing of the proper emphasis, the inflection of the voice are of the greatest importance in speaking parts, whether doing legitimate or burlesque work. One of my best jokes failed to get as many as I expected as from a colored. As the joke in no wise related to color, race or creed, I was not able to understand son to find the reason. I have never answered the question satisfactorily, but I am still physically force when presenting the joke to a white audience the response was as hearty as that coming from a colored audience, what they say or do off the stage. Some performers, if they "make good" upon the stage, consider it of importance, what they say or do off the stage. The essential elements of greatness must be within oneself. No one can be confident and overlook the small things of life. CLOUDSTOCK After Monday afternoon, presented a real merit. Several disappointments and challenges from the strength of the first performance. Wolfs, a white singing and musical, was very good. Kelly and Davis, in their second week, retained the good impression made the first. Some exceptionally clever dancing was the feature of their act. The Two Sweets were greeted with baskets of apples. The Four Song Birds, Hattie Akers, Emma Jackson, Carrie King and Helen Jackson, presented a singing, dancing and acrobatics, and thoroughly enjoyable. Their harmony singing was a genuine treat. Miss Akers in recitations and Miss King in a dance. The Baldwin Trio, singers, dancers and acrobats, were a real hit. The performance hardly be excelled upon any stage or in any country. Their tumbling is done Arab style and dress and can not be impassed by the real desert Beduino. Prof. J. H. Gray, author, poet and newspaper editor, was a happy spectator of the professor's greatest interest in the advancement of the colored people up until the colored stage is destined to be an important factor in the social uplift of the colored race.

Dudley, the actor manager, has done more things to further the success of the play than to raise the profile of his race, and is continuously trying to pull it up to a standard where NEGra vaudeville will prove to be the foremost anthem and the whole anthem-wearing public. He is now rehearsing a new idea of an entertainment in a tabloid form, the latest one-to-one playlet, "Ranch 4-11-44," a real Western drama, with Lew Henry, Kenner & Williams, Joe Taylor, and the cast. Mr. Dudley intends to open this act about June 28th. Probably Richmond will be the opening point. The creators are going to play the Dudley, Circus exclusively.

Everybody pleased with it, for it was a laugh and a cream from the first appearance of the show, and the circle until the curtain went down. In the hour and a half or two hours that company had for the public, there was not a moment of idleness and every one of those moments contained a smile, just what was the best put on, for all was so good that people who patronized the show felt written as a wuff for it.

Alex. Marks 654 Broadway, New York City Grand Theatre FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ALL THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS COLUMN TO THE FINUTE THE RISE AND DECLINE OF PU GILISM. John L. Sullivan, an Ultra Classic, Put the Yeast in the Business. (By Billy Lewis.) In three days we are given to illustrate or emphasize the more striking happenings by the stand out events of history and anecdote, generally aquired. Waterloo has become another term for defeat. I was so saddly remarked that the word for disaster or failure it would not be supposed to find the word creeping in dictionaryes in that sense. I thought it would be better. Mr. Wakeley I committed myself to see if the word was not there in the dictionary. It is there right, and meaning a decisive defeat. A dictionary is a mighty good In the good old Suillian days, pugilistically speaking, it was felonious to fight in near-sight, but in the nature of man, to fight near or the other. If not with the skull and skulls then in the courts, that most blessed instrument, it didn't allow 'nin no sho' noughty' so it is not to be put under the head of that other kind of fight, but it is a species of the thing, thus making for the assessee that it seems to be human to see it, to see the mind begins to speculate on whether the thing of real fight will end before the moment. It is to be a beautiful dream, much too good to be counted out of the hopes of men. The present great dream of man is a fact that there is no peace. Perhaps this discourse it getting too serious. But one can see what it means, a discussion, tempting one beyond the narrows of his subject. But it will be remembered not mean to try to stay regular. It's a free lance. The rise of the fight business as it is known in this country has a dramatic impact if not romantically for or the world's championship at Chantilly, France, in 1888. This might be considered the beginning of the rise of pugilism in America, with the Chantilly-villain an American; neither of their sores was hospitable enough to entertain the setter in the account of that column sent in, had this: "When John L. Sullivan and Charles Mifflin found themselves in Chantilly, France, members of the Rothschild family, the rich bankers in the world, loaned the pugilists the plot of ground to join the crowd around the ring. The gathering included earls, dukes, lords and counts from England, France and Spain, and this side With this fine support, one would think the game would be its swaddling clothes. And it wasn't. But it had been banned, and like a Chinese foot refuses. The guest was keener, as it is for every other good thing that is sequestered, hold in abeyance and identify with the ideal idea as men view it. One would think that it was the impetus that the upward trend. When the world's elect were willing to take all kinds of risks, giving carte blanche to run was taken out of the opposition. When Sullivan met Kilrain on July 8, 1883, at Richburg, Miss, it is said that the eight championship without gloves found secret until the very day of the fight. This was the last fight for the championship without gloves. Says my friend, the importance of the contest and the widespread interest, no matter how much the phone had the faintest idea as to where it could be fought. Even the principals dark on this point. The governors of all the southern states had issued to the pugilists and their managers. How hard to north and journeyed to New Orleans before the battle. They were allowed to cause their managers had given the governor of Louisiana their solemn assurance that the fight would not be pulled on of the sacred soil of that state. New Orleans two or three days before the fight tickets were sold for $10 each. On them were printed the words: This Ticket Will Admit One To the Fight Between Sullivan and Kilrain July 8, 1889. At the time of the fight with Mitchell he was a bright light greatly displeased the savage fraternity of that country. A great number of them, we see Kilrain beat Sullivan. Represen- tion of the Marlborough and Beres- son, the nobility, also other titular people, must be seen to see Sullivan beaten for his victory, even getting a draw with their favor. I will stop the details of the story of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight here, because of the length. It will follow in the next issue.

Bantam is not an authorized term and has no definite relation to the term bantam. Bantam was not an authorized technical term in boxing parlance, but it seems were mistaken. Joe Kelly writes: "Bantam is not a real technique. It is lighter than a featherweight. The scale of weights are: Bantam, under 116 pounds; featherweight, under 117 pounds; 142 pounds; middle, 158 pounds; light heavy, 175 pounds and over; heavy, 175 pounds and over.

Ever hear of these bantamms. George Foster, Jimmy Barrie, Jimmy Barrie, Digger Stanley, Jimmy Walsh, and Frank Burns. Kid Williams won the title on June 1, 1914, when he put up a fight against Digger Stanley, Vernon, Cal. This is illuminative of the subject.

Out of seven starts he landed six firsts and one second. --- ROCHESTER—In a ten-round bout in which there was very little real fighting, Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis, shaded Tom McMahon of Pittsburgh, and Bob McMahon of Boston. The rotten stalling and it was not until the spectators hooted, that the fight-secured themselves the first round. The second the third, the fourth Dillon rushed McMahon, and landed several wicked punches. The fight was moved up on the program to beat a shower that began to fall as the fight-defined the ropes at the end of the tent round.

Just now is twirling for the All-Nationals, a Kansas City team composed of players of all nations, and an outfit that baseball claims as the major league club a nip-and-tuck battle. Frank Wickwair is another negro pitcher, and the major league Johnsons, Joe Woods and Grover Alexander if he were a white man. Wickwair performed some marvelous hits, and N.

The trio gave Patty Banigan a boxing lesson for six rounds in the semi-final bout. When Johnny Creley, of New York, re-entered the ring in the main bout, Finney agreed to box anybody the promoters selected. After a little dictation Finney and Conley were put in to the ring. Both were knocked out, but the winner would be hard. For little THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER was to be chosen at termination of bout. Both boys extended themselves, and to Conley for his aggressive fighting in the final round. During the fifth round, Conley ripped the fight to the colored flash, forcing him to break ground. In the earlier rounds Finney kept dancing in the all kinds of blows on the westerner, but couldn't stop Conley from boring. In Finney's clever feinting and fast damaging blows. The colored boy used a right uppercut with telling effect, and the westerner damaged blows. The colored boy used a right uppercut with telling effect, and the westerner damaged blows. A left hook dropped Finney for the count of 8 in the third round. Both came up strong in the fourth round. The westerner was unable to land effectively owing to Finney's clever blocking and the westerner carried the fight to Finney catching him with rights and left to head. In the final round both little boys kept the crowd on their feet. Conley having the best of the exchange, Finney loudly applauded for his gameness and great showing in the windup. YOUNG BRADY, LIGHT CHAMP OF MICHIGAN RACING CHAM- RIPHION Indianapolis Freeman, Sporting Editor: Dear Sir—I wish it to be announced that I am joining the lightweight championship of Michigan. You can see by my record that I have fought some of the colored, lightweight players in my try, my last bout being with Arthur Stigall, who is now claiming the colored, lightweight players in my try. Stigall beat me in five rounds with the punch, which was like the kick of Langford. I really must say I am a big fan of operation week and did it on week later when I met Stigall. I am very eager to meet Stigall in another mill. I am willing to play in the tournament. I also extend a challenge to Kid Ash, the Cincinnati Pork Chop King.

SAYS DILLON IS TOO LIGHT. NEW YORK-Jack Dillon has been hurling challenges in Jess Willard's direction ever since the big Kansan unhonorable death, regarded as being too light. Dillon has never been decisively beaten in recent years at at least two games, Gus Gubbins Smith, once; Battling Levinsky three times, and several other lesser lights among the light heavies. Dillon is a great friend to colored boys. He is always on the look out for good ones, giving them backing when they prove the proper stuff. He can play at 39 South Illinois street, Indianapolis. JACK DILLON OUTPOINTS MAN TELL IN SLOW BOUT. Hoosier Battier Gains Victory by Scoring at Cliff Quarters—Fans of Hoosier Battier CINCINNATI, O—Jack Dillon of Indianapolis, outpointed Frank Mandell of the ground bout. The fight for the most part was at close quarters, and in what was the better, Dillon got in his best work at close quarters. Neither man was at the best, and what was expected by the local fans. In the eighth round he missed four eads and on the Manell course, he straight left. Dillon had a slight shade in practically every round, using a right to left grip. Mandell showed his best work in the seventh, eighth and ninth rounds. Mandell refused to weigh in at 168 and Dillon BATTERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTGUIDE MEN, MENERS, MENS. QUIRKER NEW YORK—The batter who tries to outguess a pitcher never lands in the bullpen, and the mind concentrated on what the pitcher is going to throw more than he has on the natural object of his visit to the ballpark. Jacques Fournier of the White Sox, the 1915 batting sensation of the American league, wagered that he would happen to a batter who tries to outguess the pitcher—and one who doesn't. Cobb, Jackson, Wagner, Sims, Lorie Speaker and other famous batters present er baseball, don't try to outguess a pitcher. They swing at every good ball that is going to break. But they've always followed that course. Fournier's case. 1914 Fournier hit for 234. Up to midsenson in 1914 he didn't hit much better than 250. 1914 Fournier hit for 234. Up to midsenson in 1914 he didn't hit much better than 250. "I said Fournier, "All along I had worked on the theory that a successful batter was one who outguessed the pitcher. But if the plate I'd try to figure out in advance what the pitcher was going to throw and then I'd set myself for such a de Sometimes I did outgues the pitcher. Offener I didn't. But I always knew he didn't. He guessed the guessing game. Had I guessed wrong, or was I right? The continual worry took my mind off the fact that I was in there to bat—not to play a guessing game. "Well, one day last summer we stacked up against Walter Johnson. I guess he was winnning to one guessing game. I but walked around the plate and banged away at what he served up to me. I made two home runs that day. Ever since I have not kept in mind only one thing when I go to the plate—that I must hit the ball. I think that system has been a success. It surely has. Fournier began to hit like a fend from that time on and ended the 1914 season with a mark of 35. This season Fournier started off at a whirlwind pace and he has been maintaining it. He swung in May with a pitch that entered June with very little of it shrunken away. If he maintains his present claw he will have a fine chance of winning a partnership from Ty Cob and all the others who give him battle. Armando Marsans gets a daily salary sufficient to buy him $40 cool and foaming lager beer, he doesn't have to work all day, and yet, he very unhappy. No, he is. Cuban gent, jumped from the Cincinnati National to the St. Louis Feds and a court injunction was quickly secured which the jury is $6,500 a year, or $42 a day. He has nothing to do but practice one hour a day, and he meets the other "But a bake-loading." Cuban outfielder. "I want to play ball. It makes me sick because I can't play." Clarence Rowland, who manages the White Sox, wants his men to steal at least one base for every three that he advances. Rowland—that's what I want," said Rowland. Rowland's aim for his players is high—but inconsistent. Baseball does not allow a player to advance for every three that he advances, even though he be a reincarnated Deerfoot. If a gent singled and the next batter sank a ball, he would own himself a stolen base because he would have advanced three bases without pilfering one. If a fielder sank a ball, he would own himself a stolen base. If he got a base on balls and then went all the way home in a wild throw to catch him mushing a ball, he would own himself another stolen base. George Burns of the Giants was the most stealer in either the American or National leagues and scored 100 runs and stole 62 bases. By scoring 100 runs he advanced 300 bases beyond first. Of those advances only one player scored 100 runs—were made through pilfers. Eddie Collins in 1914 scored 122 runs and stole 58 bases. That makes Collins the most successful base stolen for every six advances. And Burns and Collins are about as speedy as baseballers go. SAYS OLD THEORY OF USING PITCHER BEEN CHANGED. NEW YORK—In the future I believe club owners are going to favor managers, and parenthetically I want to state this is not a hint I desire a job of managing as a manager is secrets of how to work pitchers so as to get the most out of the staff. "Smiling Bill" points out a point beyond argument by his showing with the Yankees this season so far. "I have never seen a man use better judgment in picking his pitchers than Donovan has this year, and a lot of timing depends on just that one thing." Connie Mack's success can be attributed to ability in selecting his pitchers. American Leaguers have told me over and over certain pitcher of his again to get a ticular opponent. It is an old trick of the game, one man behind the stand and the team in the window as bait for the rival leader. When his opponent sees a certain Athlete getting ready he lays his arms. Frequently Connie will even go so far as to announce the stall pitcher to be in order to batter in order to gm the opposing pitcher he desires in the game. Then tries out his other entry from behind the box score. The rival pitcher is already in the game, and the chances are the opposing manager has not another wicket taken. He takes the first man out he can not put him back again. Mack knows, when he is care to use him any more and lays his plans accordingly. The dark horse comes into the box from behind the pitcher's working against other as Mack desired. He has thus given himself the edge at the getaway. It used to be a theory that the american shoot a first string pitcher against Walter Johnson. The argument added to this is that the talent to do this. Therefore Johnson found himself being into a lot of easy games. Donovan has shown great skill. "When Johnson starts against my club," says "Bill," he will get all there is in the gun. The best man I have been is there, where he may be wrong but that's my job. MONTGOMERY, W. VA. Rev, Gregory of Becky preached the Red Men's anniversary sermon at the First Baptist Church Sunday.
