"Statesman Greener" Re-Visits Scenes of Other Days.
The visit of Prof. Richard Theodore Greener to the scenes of his great activity in other days was a notable event in his routine of life at the nation's capital during the flood in its basin, polished, faultlessly clad and as lightly feltly chatty and youthful as in the carried when he won the aplaeuse of the heart of Washington by his unfalling courtesy, social graces, fervid oratory and profound wisdom of the field. Prof. Greener mingled freely with all friends here and made many new ones in the homes of Washington's former citizens; he attended commencement ceremonies of his own wife; he remembered of his own tenure as principal of the old Summer high school, and made with well-remembered students the wisdom in those days from their Gamble, he said, in churches of their varied denominations and the highways exchanged greetings and reminiscences on even terms with the beaver of the sheepskin and the weaver of the apron. A genuine
citizen of the world, Richard T. Greener is alike at home with every element of our cosmopolitan wick of our daily public populism with all. He never has been a highly interesting and picturequeer career as an educator and statesman. He is the race's most distinctive representative in politics. He was once principal of the Washington colored high school; he was president of the South Carolina; secretary for age of the Grant Monument Fund, with headquarters in New York City; head of the Boston Russo-American and Indian colored voters in several presidential contests; United States consul to Vatican, Russia; and head of the residents McMahley and Roosevelt; later a practitioner of law Chicago, lecturer and writer, Professor Farnsworth, and graduate from Harvard University. Although many diverse interpretations of his visit to Washington at this time, the true reason is that he came East to attend the fifteenth anniversary of Andover Academy, and concluded to take advantage of his opportunity to Andover Academy, and concluded to renew old acquaintances.
Not a Candidate for Assistant Superintendent on Liberian Mission
Prof. Greener has been mentioned in a number of influential quarters in connection with the post of assistant superintendent of the Army, and succeeded Roscoe, calling Bruce, who is said to be slated for retirement. Asked as to this, Prof. Greener said she was not interested for Bruce's place and would not have it if tendered on a silver platter. The probable resignation of Roscoe, the Army's chief of the beria started a rumor that the visiting statesman was casting sheep's eyes in the direction of Monrovia. Color photograph of Prof. Greener underered yeoman service in behalf of the election of President Wilson in the recent campaign. That Prof. Greener underered yeoman support of Senator James Hamilton Lewis for anything that might be available for a colored man along with his fellow senators having any ambition to represent this government in Liberia, and puts this in the school rumor out of business, as far as he is concerned. Nevertheless, Prof. Greener made no sense of the suggestion with the summary manner in which he was let out of the very desirable post of consul at Vladivostok, and way to vindicate him by returning him to that point or to a consultship of the Army. Prof. Greener gives such an offer very favorable consideration. A diplomatic appointment in Brazil or some of the South America is likely to be promising would he very acceptable to him, it is said. While here the Professor visited the State Department of the Army, and other officials and it is reported that his reception was most cordial. Of any other touring he made, one of the officers was spoken of, no mention of the fact has been made by Prof. Greener or by those with whom he talked at the meeting.
The problems involved in the future of the race's scientific subject for continued speculation and the country is free to decide whether it is here given. Prof. Greener returned Wednesday to his home in Chicago, where he studies in Washington and the East.
Administration Colored Man Is Made
Playground Superintendent.
Mr. Alexander H. Underdown, a supporter of President Wilson in the campaign, is the chairman of the committee which arranged for the colored department of the inaugural festivities in 1913, has been appointed as superintendent of the colored playgrounds located in Howard University, just below the historic school for the higher school in the city. L. Brownlow, who paid the site a visit a few days ago, described the place as the best situated playground in the city, and gave Mr. Underdown free rein to develop it into that an ideal recreation center of the city, with the installation of new features, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course, and a playground. Mr. Underwood is a man of genuine public spirit, ever alive to the needs of his people, and a successful career in his newly-chosen calling. He is the right man in the right place.
Dr. Washington May Make "Whirlwind Tour" of the Capital.
Tentative plans are being discussed by leading citizens looking to the coming of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder of "whirlwind" of this city, similar to that made a few weeks ago through Greater New York. It is the idea of the promoters to arrange a meeting with the two days and that big meetings should be arranged for each of the four quarters of the town and to include provision for the attendance of both races. Reports will be given as the plans develop.
Bethel Literary Society Elects Officers.
Bethel Literary and Historical Association elected officers expected thing in re-electing as president for the ensuing year, Miss Marie A. D.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1915.
Madre, who will now enter her fifth term in this exalted position. She has been brilliant administration and it honors itself as well as her in thus continuance. She has such enthusiasm and to the benefit of all concerned. Miss Madre is a well-equipped teacher in the Washington University department of Howard University and president of the Woman's Federation being the head of Bethel Literary Society, all of which goes to demonstrate the able factor in this community. Such energetic souls merit all the recognition them. The other officers elected by Bethel for the coming year are: vice-president, A. S. Pinkett and S. L. McKinney; correspondent secretary, Miss Pantheena Woodson; treasurer, Miss Pantheena Woodson; professor, W. H. Richards; librarian, S. M. Dudley; marshal, Clarence E. Allen; chaplain, William E. Allen; will be Bethel's thirty-fourth and will no doubt be the "best yet."
Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis at Mt. Carmel.
Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the talented elocutionist, captivated a large audience at Mt. Carmel Baptist church of which Rev. W. H. Jernigan is pastor, Miss Davis, who is the mistress of Miss Elizabeth, called for a display of her best powers as an actress and as a comedienne, and in both extremes she appeared to happe in her role. "The Last Words of John Brown" and "Queen Elizabeth," each bringing out tragic impersonation, and twice in "Dumbar," when Malindy Sings, "Ll'Brown Baby," and "Encouragement," her reputation for versatility. Miss Davis was in excellent voice and her engaging presence warmed her audience to men entranced to the end. The final number offered by Miss Davis was a travelogue presenting the speaker in man, making her talk on the habits and customs of the people of the Cayman Islands. Her story of the triumph of the Negro in building the world's greatest canal, after white men of France had failed to enter the city, Mr. John F. Hennegan and Miss Nettie B. Hodge contributed a violin and clarinet to Miss L. T. Gibbons rendered solos, and Lawyer L. Melendez King, Governor of the Order of Malachites, delivered an address on the value of organization.
A delightful interpolation was an eloquent speech on race progress by Mr. R. W. Thompson, and who was called upon to present as the guest of Mr. R. W. Thompson, and who was called upon to distinguish visitors. He was an old friend of Miss Davis and the pastor and the meeting was an enjoyable one with the students, who were in series of recitals in the Washington churches, prior to filling engagements with the expositions at Richmond and Kendall.
The "School Fight" a Battle to a
Fleish.
The News In a Nut Shell.
Dr. J. E. Shepard, principal of the National Religious Training School, of Durham, N. C., stopped over last week.
The "shake-up" in the faculty of Howard University has blown over and the town is agile over several new sentiments, and it seems to come to a "head" shortly.
The joint commencement exercises of the M Street High School, Armstrong Manual Training, Cardozo Educational, Durham University, and the Department of Business Practice of M Street schools drew out a big audience Mon., the day before. A H. Grimke, former consul to Santo Domingo, delivered the address of the occasion. The graduates numbered over 200.
Prof. W. G. Pearson, principal of the Warfield High School, N. C., one of the best equipped educators of the race in this country, paid the capillaries among his host of friends here. He attended the commencement exercises at Wilberforce University.
A svings bank has been organized at the Armstrong Manual Training School. The institution did not have a lesson in the work of practical banking, but to encourage thrift on the part of its students, its posits aggregating more than $1,700 have already been made. This is the first bank formed in the colored schools of the District.
Dr. W. Bruce Evans, deposed by the Board of Education without trial is still under investigation, but again appeal for an investigation when the new members of the board are in charge of the new negotiation of "pedagogy inefficiency," set up by those desiring his removal from the strong Manual Training School. It is the popular feeling that Dr. Evans should be granted his "day in court."
Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business
League, is on his way here to open a campaign looking to a revival of the league, a national "organizer" allowed to lapse into a moribund condition. Prof. Moore will meet with a royal reception here and a national organization from this city to the Boston meeting in August. He may break his time-honored custom and accept a banquet at the hands of his advisers.
A delegation of colored citizens will write a mission a few days ago and entered a vigorous protest against the policy of refuse to accommodate Negroes wish to ride. The matter is being looked into. The status of the "jitney" has been realized and the managers yet been reached as to whether it is or is not a common carrier, within the meaning of the statute. It has been realized that the man carrier and the colored lawyers hold that the "jitney" bus ought to be the man carrier and the colored lawyers is held to be a common carrier, it can not draw the color-line, any more than the street cars can. If the "jitney" is not a man carrier, it is nothing and should not be granted a license to obstruct the public highways. It must conform to the laws of the District—or get out of business.
Mr. Andrew F. Hilyer, of the Treasury department, of Howard University and a citizen demonstrated public spirit, has formed a correspondence committee, to work with the public to advocate for the Advancement of Colored People. The committee will write protests against injustices and letters in all parts of the country touching matters affecting the well-being of the race.
Mr. C. C. Spauling, secretary and manager of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, N.C. the leading insurance corporation among our people in the South, spent a few days here last week on business.
Judge Robert H. Terrell delivered the principal address in connection with the schools in Baltimore last Friday evening. He received an ovation, and after attending a magnificent banquet, so pleased were the school and city officials with Judge Terrell's able address that an article in the newspaper, because of the absence of a rating, pending the investigation of the circumstances surrounding their arrest, made a tree from the Board of Education bring out a report? The matter has been plaguing the school, and they be supervised by the graduates of the class of this year? Dr. James T. Walker, widely known as a former federal official, leader of choice, of 19th Street Baptist Church, proclaimed that the last week, as the result of injuries from an automobile accident. A community blood poisoning, the primary cause of death. The funeral took place on Thursday at the 19th Street Baptist Church, Rev. Walter H. Brooks officiating.

declared that “The Birth of’ the Na-

to show in Ohio, has again won the
plaudits of the colored people by. his

state executive who has expressed
himself respecting this dectsion. When
the decision was rendered he very
promptly gave public utterance to the
following:

SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1915.
The glorious peach is in.
Our chief business on this side of the Atlantic is keeping out of trouble.
If you want to keep your country intact it is advisable not to let the Germans squat on it.
It begins to look as if the Fourth is going to lose some of its sanity this year. Maybe it's a good year to smell powder.
Haiti is still messed up, but, heaven be praised, not so hopelessly as Mexico. We can spank the Haitians, but the Mexicans won't stand for it.
Charles McQueen, a Negro of Texas, is given credit for inventing a fan that is wound up like a clock. It will be a blessed thing for sweltering humanity that can't stand the high tariff of an electric fan. But we are from Missouri.
The colored brother wasn't expected at the launching of the Arizona. He was there just the same. The band played "I Don't Care It You Never Come Back" for the benefit of the governor of Arizona when he left for home. The governor, in making up his list to attend the ceremonies, selected this one colored man—hence the tears.
The Negro press is jubilant over the decision not to the supreme court concerning the "grandfather clause" constitutions of Oklahoma and Maryland. Optimism is the note that ran through the comments. The contention is for a recognition of the more important rights of the Negro citizens, and which is in accord with what the supreme court did.
We have just launched one of the finest, the Arizona, the biggest thing by way of dreadnaughts done so far its baptism chrism was wine and water, the unusual, and a happy compromise, owing to the "wet" and "dry" warfare now on in the country generally. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. It is a thing of beauty, and may it ride the seas until time alone dismantles it to the hulk of its former self, the sign of majesty and might merely, rather than becoming the engine of destruction of which it is capable.
The National Negro Bar Association will meet in Boston July 18, 19, 20. The call says that "there was never a time when there was more necessity for a strong organization and a thorough understanding of the colored attorneys in this country." That's true. The colored lawyers stand most in need of organization. It is to their own interest in view of the rapidly increasing Negro clientele, and on which they mostly depend, and also in the interest of the race, which needs intelligent guidance in these days when it is being left to battle for itself.
One of our exchanges had it recently that the colored brother isn't much with race publication until something like a calamity befalls him. Then it begins to dawn on him that there are race papers. He then insists that they shall lead out against the wrong, unmindful of the fact that they were nothing to him until the moment of his distress. The situation is sized up pretty nicely, and we presume what the publication referred to observed is general. The lesson following is that race journals should have support, since they are the best helps in time of need.
The Star of Newport News, Va., speaking of the failure of the Gallican Fisherman's Bank, observed:
"The men who misconducted the Galilean Fishermen's Bank at Hampton, certainly were adepts at covering up their tracks and finger prints effectively, because the circuit court of Elizabeth City county, has, after much deliberation and hard work, returned a verdict that it is utterly impossible to find any trace of the $40,000 or more which the bank was supposed to have, but which disappeared somewhere and somehow during the life of the Bank of the Galilean Fishermen."
We always thought that was a rather odd name for a bank.
A southern publication, in speaking of the general effort at segregation, said:
"It is reputed that the Farmers' Unions of forty-eight states are backing this propaganda not to sell Negroes, farm lands."
It looks as if we are fated to be as the Jews were in the past, not loved on account of prosperity. A few years ago the cry was, Negroes to the farms! They went, and made good. They are rapidly extending their acres, and because of which comes the new order. It may not be so serious as it is pictured, but any move, no matter how insistent, that looks like reprisal orification is alarming, and should be met with the right kind of opposition.
The war department has bought for $50,000 nineteen thousand acres of land at Tobyhanna, Pa., for a field
artillery target range for both militia and regular troops. It is probable that at least one similar range will be acquired in the South, probably in Georgia or Alabama, and another in California. That will be dependent on the development of the militia in those regions.
In spite of our determination to have peace the administration has been convinced that to have anything does not rest with one side. So it has done what proved necessary—to make basic preparation for an emergency. All of our hurrah and courage would amount to only the face of training and discipline. European militarism. Warfare as a science is a part of the old world culture, and which in the practice consists more in the manipulation of machinery than personal bravery of men on the dring line. To shoot the guns is the lesson we got from Germany in particular.
The blowing up of the Armenian, a Dominion freighter, may be the subject of a few more notes between our country and the imperial government of Germany. The vessel was carrying a cargo of mules consigned to Great Britain, and for the use of the army. A German torpedo got in its deadly work, and down went the mules, together with more than a score of persons, some of whom were Americans. Fifteen of these it is said were Negroes, our first lost as a race, so far as it is reported. The happening is startling enough in view of the pending solution of the previous trouble. However, there will scarcely be any doubt this time of what England was doing. Germany will be determined to contest the ancient title of England as the mistress of the seas, a name contributed out of respect for her formidability and not because of an inherent right. The long custom in the minds of the English had become a law unto them, and world besides acquiesced. In some respects it was best for the world, but it was fiction just the same, and Germany means to break down the tradition.
A young white man coming from the picture play, "The Birth of a Nation," in Boston, was heard to say, "the black brushes; why did they bring them here?" and similar things. He was, perhaps, easily inflamed, and for that reason he should not be considered. But the fact is that thousands go from those exhibitions who are similarly impressed. They may not express themselves at once, perhaps will never express themselves, but a feeling of hate and distrust is set up, not warranted by anything that is happening in this day. The South objects to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a play which is similar to many a novel or play where there are victims of racism. The play of race against race, the object plainly being to intensify race feeling. A number of localities have declared against such productions, thus saving the situation to some extent. The influence of the actions of those localities will do very much to counteract the harmful influence of the productions. The prohibition will prepare the public to receive them at their worth, rendering them fangless, since the great majority of white people do not any more care for racial ruction than the colored people.
NEGRO GHETTO.
Negro Ghetto upheld, says one of our race publications, when referring to the recent decision of the Kentucky court of appeals, sustaining the act of segregation passed by the Louisville common council in May, 1914.
Ghetto, perhaps, is suggested by that most interesting volume, "The Children of the Ghetto," by Israel Zangwill, which so generously deals with the faults, foibles and virtues of the Jewish nation, his own people, who found themselves hobbled in the meaner localities of great London, England. Mr. Zangwill does not say that there were other laws than those growing out of the poor conditions in which the fleeing immigrants found themselves when perforce of circumstance they huddled together as the Negroes of this country did immediately after the emancipation. The Jews found it to their interest to live in such close groups. The community spirit was very necessary to secure the bare necessities of life. There were those among them that received the wanderers, who for the various reasons fled Poland and the various Russias, if they were where their fathers if we may leave it to Zangwill and Sienkiewicz to tell of them, we United States Negroes have been the most blessed of "thralls." "Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard" the deep damnation which awaited Israel's children.
All of this originated with the cross, running through the centuries—all civilized European countries, the crusade, past and present Russia, even to our own country, where the wave most happily has spent its force. The Frank episode at Atlanta, Ga., together with the attending circumstances, is a weakened reflection of Jewish history. The other great sin of that nation is that of money-getting. Zang-will does not spare his people for this disposition. All through he causes greed and avarice to stand out as a nemesis, a supplement to the woes that followed the repudiation or denunciation of the story of the cross. In virtue that people, as such, stand pre-eminent. Their maidens are beautiful, a few eschewing the ancient predisposition of gain, after the manner of Rebecca who, according to Scott's "Ivanhoe," was "worthy of a Christian knight."
These instances of moving out from the Jewish orthodoxy by scions of their houses have not amounted to a rule. The awful struggle for gain is still on, making wrothy the profligates who, like the prodigal son, spend their substance in riotous living. Whether the Biblical Jew was so ingrained we are not able to say. We do not find it so in the lines, nor describ it between the lines. Either in self-defense or for punishment this quality was taken on, and which was at once the most innocent and the most powerful "instrument." Shakespeare seems to have thought it was meant for punishment he may be advised by his Shylock." And in gratuation it is that it concerns the means of throwing a great arm of protection about their puniest members, they have chosen the better part—the least harmful—the most powerful.
Thus in London were huddled those peaceful mobs, meek as the Lord which they abjured; whose poverty was financed by men higher up, and who were, as a rule, dumb to other peoples than their own. Ghetto is stricty Jewish and applied particularly to Jewish quarters in Italy. It

is reasonable to think that there were some rules compelling them to stay within certain boundaries. If this were true no great to-do was made over it as we do in this country. We mention this to show how infinitely blessed we have been through our troubles. The Negroes have had ideals ever before them, through the laws which know no color or creed. They have had high ideals by the way of speeches by leading men who would not stoop to single out a race with a view to cutting them out of the general blessings vouchsafed by the country. The great men of this country said "all men" from Thomas Jefferson "all when James H. Willard in his very eloquent speech nominated Daniel Vorhees for United States senator from Indiana in 1879, he said in part when voicing the wishes of the people of the state:
"They wish a statesman whose character is the apotheosis of political honesty, and whose integrity is as immaculate as the plumage of the dove that descended from the bosom of the Father at the baptism of the Jordan. The people of Indiana demand that we shall elect as our senator a man who shall recall our great leaders of the past, one who is a supporter of the grandest political principles ever enunciated by modern lips: "Equal and exact justice toward all men; exclusive privileges to none." That principle forms the basis of our institutions, the impelling force of our progress, the crowning glory of our nation, and its supporters in the past are associated with all that is noble in our history."
This is the school of thought in which the Negroes were cradled, uttered by such men as the speaker, who was a Democrat. They are not to be blamed for revolting at the greater civil injustices such as ghettos by legislation and disfranchisement by legislation—by proscription, since legislation is no legislation which does not conform to the letter and spirit of the general laws of the nation.
We abide these things, much as the Jews have borne with their crosses. Our race is fully aware of its weakness, power of assurance, previous possession of servitude, race, and such things that put a people at a discount. We stand for the rating, but object to the greater wrongs. They are not necessary, at least at this day.
THE NATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION MEETS.
The National Negro Bar Association will hold its 5th annual session in the city of Boston, July 18, 1972. We have been well attended and it is the sense of those who have participated in these meetings that much good has been accomplished.
This meeting is called in connection with the session of the National Negro Medical Association, an all-important and from the inspiration of which it sprang. The members of color who are in the active practice of the law and are in good standing with the Bar of their country, will be enrolled as members of this organization upon application properly made. There has never been a time when there was more necessity for a strong organization among, and among, the attorneys in this country. And there is no nucleus around which they might gather and get more experience as attorneys in the Negro Business League. And as well face the issue that the American Bar Association does not want us and will not have us and we ought to have self-respect enough to permit any intention of good business presence.
We trust that those good business members of the American Bar Association will be thoughtful enough to come and go along with us as independent men who are winning our way as successful attorneys. We are creditable for this organization to be distinctly racial than the National Negro Medical Association and questionably making good.
We trust that this meeting will be a warmed breaker in attendance and enveloped.

It was an amateur game, and the city form. It is not the style to let a white team take away the honors at this park and on Sunday, the Americas lost to 2. Criss, one of the best semi-pro pitchers around Chicago, was on the mound for the visitors and pitched a splendid game, but their fielding was not as good as in the second firing and three in the fourth, and these tallies told the tale. At no stage of the game was the team able to score with Barber, Hill and Gatewood slamming the pill at will, victory was in

Cubans Here For One Week.
The Cuban Stars will be here Sunday, July 4, and remain until July 11. The Cuban team will be a larger, arrive in the city today for a week's battle royal. This is the first time the Cuban team will have their money. More people go to see this team than any other semi-pro team in the world, and have been in the East ever since the first of the season, playing all the leading teams in that section. They will wear the Giants' jersey, "to wear out the Giants," as they have the best team since they have been expected to draw large crowds is evidenced by the extra precaution that has been taken by Mr. Scholzling, the coach of the team, expected to draw 10,000 people will witness the game on Sunday and that the team will be on holiday. Those wishing seats had better order them today. To be ready for the game, they must his team at the park every day practicing. These series will be a battle-royal for supremacy. For real, fast, exciting, playing, don't fail to see these series.

Gatewood struck out eight men on Sunday. He is doing some fine twirling these pretty cool days.
Barber got three hits off Criss on
last Sunday. Barber is one of the best stick men on the team.
Duncan, left fielder, who has been ill, will he in the game during the series for the American Giants.
Miss Martha Bailey, of Flint, Mich., and Mrs. Gertrude Alen, of Washington, D. C., occupied boxes last Sunday at the Giants' park.
Allison is the name of the new catcher for the American Giants. He is from Nashville, Tenn., and is a number one ball player.
Mrs. Cella Lambert, of Springfield, Ill., a successful business young man, sat in box 24 and enjoyed the Giants' victory.
Col. Franklin A. Deallon and Lieut. William Adams, of the Eighth Regiment, were interesting spectators in a box at the game last Sunday.
One of the fans counted as a regular at the park is Mr. George Holt. He never misses a game and says the Giants always look good to him.
Mrs. Susie Brown, Miss Hazel Winburn and Mrs. Fannie Roberts, of Kokomo, Ind., sat in a box on last Sunday to see the Giants down the Roselands.
"Uncle Rube" has pitched several games this season and has not lost a game. He says he is good for a game, and has more seasons. As a manager, the captain rank him as the best in the country.
If you want to see a bevy of good-looking women, just go to the park during these series and on Sunday and holidays. The best dressed women in this city are the best these games and they sure look good.
There are quite a number of Cubans in this city. They have formed a club and will be on hand next week to cheer their boys on to victory. They are firmly of the belief that "Rube" will be the host of the show during the series.
The crowds will be so large Sunday that automobile men have decided to walk down the street to the park for twenty-five cents. This is a quick and safe way to get around. The drive is a delightful drive for a few moments. Sunday has three cars running every Sunday.

The scores were 6 to 2, and 1 to 0. The Lincolnhs have been playing great ball this season, and are looked to give the Lakers a chance. The A. R. C.'s of Indianapolis, a struggle for honors. With last Sunday's game, Redding, the star pitcher of the Lakers, won his fifteenth consecutive victory.
COLUMBUS, OHIO.
The Charleston (W. Ya.) Clippers were no match for the Bowers Easton and the West Virginia saw the unusual score of 1 to 10, chalked against them. The game at various intervals was played on the same point, the sensational running back hand catch of Cole's fly by Cha. 'sons' from all. There was a crowd of about 300 that come from Charleston on a day when vites go down. The game seemed to add enthusiasm and hope among the Bowers and rooters, preparatory to the game. The famous Dayton Marcos. Ed. Bowers expects to carry along over five hundred local citizens to Dayton to root on Dayton, betting is even while Columbus offers 2 to 1 in favor of the Bowers full paid year's subscription to the Indianapolis Freeman to the first Columbus player knocking a home run at

RED SOCKS DEFEAT WETUMPKA
GIANTS.
Montgomery Ala.
Montgomery, Ala.
The Red Sox, of the Red Sox, defeated the Wetumpka Giants in two of the prettiest games that have ever been played on the Wetumpka grounds.
The second game was exciting from the first game, and 7 against them and one out in the ninth. Brown, the hard hitting third baseman of the Red Sox, saved the game by hitting a home run ever seen on the local grounds. The last game was easily won, 5 to 1. The pitching of Johnson, the spitball artillerist, was a bit more aggressive games. The first game was won, by Wetumpka, 11 to 10. Although the Red Sox had a lead of eight runs in the first game, the tumpka boys got together and batted Baba, the Red Sox southpaw, off the mound. Watkins and Horace May, who were the first two players to credit should be given to George Johnson, the spitball artist, because both of the two second games goes to credit as the first part of the latter part of the second game with the score tied. The Red Sox infield is considered to be the best in the field and bars none in the whole country.

Among the best on the bill was Le Great Monday, who moves and concludes with some very meritorious vaudeville weights with ease. He was indeed a novelty and was highly appreciated Frank Montgomery and Florence McKenna, who move and concludes with Breezer from Broadway, with their own special scenery and is replete with comedy and musical numbers of their own construction, which was enjoyable. Chines Walker and Johnson offered a neat act and performed of the sweetest voices heard this week was that of Grace Johnson, who sang several songs with exquisite art, which found no difficulty in interesting auditors.

THE GREAT RICHBURG FIGHT.
A Hero at the Engagement Become
Mayor of New Orleans—Champ
Sullivan Battled Seventy-
Square
(By Billy Lewis.)
In speaking of the rise of the pugilistic business, I have already said that it seemed to have begun with the career of a businessman, the prize winning was here, but the battles were surreptiously fought—and with fear and trembling—the headmasters all said they were ready to descend on him that was not sufficient of its nearness. Sullivan put the yeast in the business. He was perhaps unaware of what he did. I understand why fighting had its purpose with him unless it was due to his rather dramatic meeting with Mitchell at the end of the term, doubtless, gave up the stamp of approval, is that all of the circumstances, the datinguished event, including that peculiarism that attaches to men who clandestinely garden and regulate the regulations of society. And to the real plain, it is nature to just as it does a lover, so scrape it as the antithesis; such a man, however, seem
The greatest scraper gets the greatest竞赛 apperence when he invasions modern times, his vanquishment should have been his effacement by the terrestrial thinking. From the time he moved "through Italy until he was halted as a stag at bay in Belgrade the names he wrote on the waters, world generally does not know who put it over him, nor does Who killed him, nor is his materiality of men, Grant comes nearest another Napoleon. He however lacked the courage to be a commander. He lacked the peculiar one feels to take off his hat even to sleep in sleeping sentinel when suddenly confronted by the wizard of Mars. "Ce est le Empereur," says an astonished man, "who could have said, at once tiring his adoration and mortification. Both men are unassumed as that of Napoleon, but the latter had that indelible something that was contagious
—the poetry of Ella this thing was beautifully exemplified. He bared himself to his old cohorts that now opposed him and made there a place where he stood, just a little lower than the angels, as they viewed him, who did forget how to weep, learned anew and cried as children. Grant was tacurnir to success, because he had sufficient resources. Napoleon and Frederick the Great were personally loved, the man ever shown on, and so compassionate. That of Napoleon was almost sacred—the most worshiped man the sun ever showed on, and so Heila, will never thrive, because it fettered our love.
It may be a little far fetched to think story. But this story is latitudinal. The personality of Sullivan also entered that compound. What it was that gave him his go I am not so sure. This, however, of the time when he was when they thought of the game. His name and fame filled all the land. And so secure, we thought, he was on his perch that time only could take him
ing because it recounts the struggle to witness the encounter, and through it the fight feeling. And by the way, one can see something of this at the picture shows. Observe the fight realization. Run away from it to be doing the real thing. Novices in the fight business are at once finished fighting, fight often, until their clothing are in shreds. The audience, nearly to a point, are participants. Are partisans. They go wild when the bad man goes down. A rough and tumble fight is the "best" thing thrown
On the Way from New Orleans.
"Early on the night of July 7, 1889, crowds seemed to spring up in all directions and the station of the Queen and Crescent railway. At the railway station, a great long train was in waiting, but no one guarded it. Guardes stood at the doors of the railway station and admitted no one who could not produce a ticket bearing the long train with the rest. Those who had not bought tickets climbed over the picket fences, jumped through the door and boarded the long train with the rest. When 10 o'clock came the body of the train was well filled. At 11 o'clock we was standing room only in the cars. Twelve o'clock and the roof of every car on the train was Black with men wearing white. We reminded to get to the fight any old way. Half past 12 and the conductor gave the engineer his starting signal, and we were out of the station, while men and boys set up a cheer that must have awakened the entire population of New York.
The train scarcely started before it stopped again. It had reached the way trains across Lake Pontchattrain. Presently the conductor appeared in the way trains across Lake Pontchattrain. "Get your tickets ready, everybody." Beside him were a dozen men, all wearing broad slouch hats, with green gloves and brown jackets. On they came with the conductor and as they approached the men and boys, the conductor tickets were flying from him mining a few near cars of the train. As the conductor and the deputy sheriff were approaching, the man of the train got more dense. The men composing it were not so boisterous as they had been. He was not the just the justified argument and were given to understand that unless they produced their tickets their carcasses were not justified in the train. They were also advised that if they did not get off quickly and gracefully their carcasses were with this threat ringing in their ears the imbeculous got out the rear end of the coach and descended the hill. Poor fellows did this great mosquitoes, which bit like bees and descended poor fellows.
the conductor and the Mississippi deputies, having finished their work in the body of the train, concluded to take the passengers who were riding there. But the gang on the roofs was an unruly one. Not a man had ever waved a pickup truck before he paid the price of his Hairdo of the deputies drew their guns and began firing over the heads of the passengers. The scramble and in less time than it takes to tell it the roofs were emptied and the crowd from there had joined the order. The deputy sheriffs climbed their guns and threatening to shoot any who followed. As the deputy sheriffs took to the roofs the crowd on the train began twinkling seemed to disappear beneath the train. They had scarcely gone to roost when the train stopped, and the passengers were carried on its journey. The details of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight will be concluded in the next is-

HISTORY OF YALE-HARVARD RE-GATTAS DAYS BACK TO 1852.
regatta. The following summer crews raced over the same course, Harvard and Lake Quisigamid three times, the sport until 1884, when the series was renewed and continued until 1870 over the Lake Quisigamid three times. In 1871 Harvard, aided by Brown, Amherst and Bowdow, organized the Rowing Association of the American Midwest, a mile long tunnel race was rowed at Springfield. Yale did not compete that year, but entered the race after a two-year ban, but in 1875 there were thirteen crews at the starting line; an American team of four-mile dual regattas, forty years of college rowing. Beginning in 1876, Yale and Harvard inaugurated their four-mile dual regattas, the course was shifted to the Thames at New London, where the regattas were two exceptions, ever since, forming one of the biggest intercollegiate sport events of the year. During the period between 1876 and 1884, met in forty-eight dual regattas, of which each has won twenty-four, so the course was given more giving time or the other colleges the lead again. The Yale crew of 1888 holds the Thames river course record, of that year in 20 minutes 10 seconds.
