If the plans of President Daniel Freeze are approved, the Board of the National Negro Business League get through as now seems likely, Washington will probably ask the privilege of being host for the 1816 meeting of the Board. It is understood that a formal invitation will be extended to the National League by the Commissioners of the National League, the Trustee, the Chamber of Commerce, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, representatives of the National League, the Fritzman and civic bodies, the entire list covering every phase of the official, business, religious, educational and civic institutions capital. Washington is the "show place" of the country and for years there has been no plans that follow the Business League to have a chance to meet with the organization in this concurrency. The President of the United States, the Supreme Court, Cabinet, Congress and the diplomatic corps have their habitat, together with the eminent members of the Negro race. It is argued that a city where business officers grow like unto the leaves of Valambrosa and where the colored people draw more money per annum from the government there is a business opportunity to be, and that the presence of an army of thrifty and prosperous colored business men from other sections stimulate and awaken the masses and the classes that great permanent good will flow out of their visit. The commissioner will invite the invitation to the League and will leave no stone unturned to have a good-handled welcome. Washington knows how to put forth the right people to be the guest of the nation's capital. C.A. join with the business and professional elements in urging the government to be the guest of the nation's capital. List of Business League Delegates Complete.

Mr. Alexander Henson, the well-known undertaker and District Deputy of the Order of Elks, is an ardent advocate of the re-election of T. Gillis Nutter as Grand Exalted Ruler of the national antlered herd, and predicts his triumph on the first ballot—and perhaps by acclamation, as no candidate with a chance has appeared up to date. He also books George E. Bates to come back as secretary by an immense majority. Mr. Henson has made a fine record as district deputy and enjoys the confidence of Grand Exalted Ruler to the fullest extent. He is a careful prophet and when he prophecies the result invariably shows that he knows which will be the next time he will gather at Chicago August 31 at the Odd Fellows' Hall, 3335-37 South State street, and continue in session until September 3. Some important business is on the calendar and the meeting bids fair to be one of the very best yet held. Mr. Henson's views as to the re-election of Grand Exalted Ruler Nutter are being corroborated daily by letters that come in to Mr. Nutter from friends in all parts of the country, each assuring him of the warmest support. The re-election of Nutter is a foregone conclusion. The substantial Elks from everywhere are "for him." Du Bois' Historical Pageant Be Produced Here. The historical pageant, designed by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, and which was a notable feature of the 'emancipation celebration of the State of New York in 1913, will be produced here in the fall, if the plans of the newly-organized "Horizon Guild" work out as has been outlined. Prof. DuBois spoke Tuesday evening at Lincoln's�e Congressional church in the interest of the proposed spectacle and gave a graphic description of the story the pageant is to illustrate and told of the spirit it would inculcate in the mind of the Negroes who are fortunate enough to witness it. The pageant will call for the services of 500 actors, with scenery, music and costumes, and thus in a great folk-festival, it is planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 13th Amendment which was proposed in 1913. Prof. DuBois is asking the co-operation of a local committee representing the various organizations of the District of Columbia. A temporary committee has been formed, with Dr. L. M. Hershaw as chairman, and this is to be amplified into a permanent body, with authority to make the necessary financial arrangements and to find the persons for the show. The American Church League, Baseball Park will be the scene of the pageant. Further information can be obtained from L. M. Hershaw, 2215 13th Street, N. W. "Plums" That Have Dropped—and Other >>> Thet. May. Dron. Soon. The appointment of the Hon. George E. Downey to be a Judge of the Court of Claims is one that will be hailed for the country, as well as by those of the white race. Judge Downey has made the country, as well as by those of the white race. Judge Downey has made the Treasury and his decisions have not only squared with the law, but they have been so nicely adjusted, so goodly quality of the "human element." Judge Downey's construction of the law appears to have come from a good quality of the laity is willing to rate him as one lawyer that believes that statutes are but "crystallized" and that the populace will and not to antagonize the source from which it is supposed to emanate. Anyhow, Judge Downey is a man of the law, and all rejoice in the merited promotion that has come to him. He is a man of the Court of Claims if his successor as Comptroller is half as good as he has been, the Treasury, Department will have little cause for Of interest to colored readers is the announcement of the appointment of four new members to the kennan, as Assistant Register of the Treasury, a place held for many years by colored men.

In addition to the many white candidates for the 19th general election, the 19th porters of President Wilson who would be pleased to be considered in connection with it. Foremost among them is Mr. E. A. Manning, of Indiana, who is regarded by his friends as the logical man for the place, by virtue of his seniority as an active factor in his party and the most important of his political Hoosier state are about to lose their fattest plum through the retirement of Dr. G. W. Buckner as Minister to Liberia. It is said that Dr. J. B. Oliver, of Brazil, Ind., declined the Liberian Mission, and this is taken as an earnest that the Indiana delegation would be allowed to be given a favorite son, and ask that he be given the biggest plum available in this country, the Recordership of Deeds, and allow Liberia to be handed over to some other State. Others in the running for Recorder are Prof. Richard T. Greener, of Illinois, and A. D. Griffin, a newspaper man of Kansas. In Washington there are a full of receptive candidates. Gossip to which will be the two plums that seem to be in the reach of the colored Wilsonites is helping to liven up the dull times that characterize the midsummer period.

He was the first brother in everything else, then that is the relation that existed between Ernest and his brother, and that is the early days of their youth until his unexpected death on Thursday afternoon of last week after an illness of but a week, when he was most involved with men we sang, played and worked together in this city. For more than a decade (until other employment opportunities were available) ournest Ostrub had entire charge of the local department of this paper and rendered yeoman service freely and without regard to his own life, when it was most needed—in the early days of its publication. This interest in The Gazette never for a reason, nor did it interfere with interning years as he changed his place of residence from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, to Lawrenceville, Va., to Dayton, Ohio, and always "Erny" and "Harry," with us, and all that that brotherly familiarity of address would signify to the tenure of loyalty itself, genial, gentle, pure and of clean-mind—a Christian gentleman, the most moral man" (al his life) and he was known. As Dr. John E. Hunter of Lexington, Ky., who knew him from boyhood days, wrote us a man for a year as a home teacher, and as in every preceding one, when he came north to visit among his relaunts, he wrote us, whose en route, from each stopping place—from Raleigh, Lexington, Cincinnati, Springfield, saying he would be with us on "Tuesday," the following day, "sometime." He was delayed in that city, leaving him to live in Cleveland, where he lived, living in Cleveland, Wednesday morning, so ill that he took to his bed, never to rise again, in health, and died, the only brother we ever had and feel it deeply, and shall continue to do so for many, very many years to come. He would be difficult to depart, but the purest gems and a positive yet modest factor, in the uplift effort, which would be difficult to depart, but the reward he is receiving, of this we are positive. An aching heart beats in sympathy with those of the relatives in early days of their youth.—From the Cleveland Gazette. MOUND CITY, ILL. Brutal Crime of Paroled Negro Convict Inflames Race Prejudice in Southern Illinois. Special to the Freeman. Race prejudice has not been so keenly felt in this end of the State for several years as has been since Joe De Berry, the paroled cop of Attorney J. H. Martin at Murphysboro. This crime and the one at Joliet have been a dreadful blow to the "honor system" now inogue and curse. The police say they were better at such men were kept behind the bars, as such base crimes work a hardship upon the industrious, honest and law-abiding men, feeling between the races. Those in authority and the cooler heads are working together to let the law take its course and hoping that peace may beSilence is golden for us at this time. The concert, which was given at the S.

MIN-RAL-COP 1 LISTEN TO ME. Can you drink water? The mineral cup is nothing more nor less than an artificial mineral spring in your home. Whatever is compatible with your health, how long you have been a sufferer, the Min-Ral-Cop may relieve you of your touble as it has thousands here and you may have other places, and feel that your chances of a healthy body else. It is a pity that you cannot attend one of my public demonstrations and see the thousands flocking to me explain what the cup has done to you. Every day letters are pouring in daily telling me how relief was so quickly found and people here don't understand what the cup has done to you and tell them how remarkably their misery and pains left them. Yesterday, I received a letter from Ella Williams, 119 Norton street, Richmond, Va. with ill health, the father had been down sick. How he entirely lost his sight. She sent him a cup to Chester, S. C., where he lived. In a few days he replied he was now able to work and his sight was restored. Rev. S. W. Mattkins, 2417 Cresnsey St. Richmond, Va., says: "I am a super-annuated minister of the Virginia Amateur Athletic Association, kidneys and bladder eight years. I can say I got almost instant relief after drinking from your cup." Mrs. Hannah Brown, 211 E. 14th St. South Richmond, suffered she said, with pain for eight years. "One night's drinking from the cup made me a happy woman. The second drink I took, all pain left me and I felt like a young convert in the morning." Mr. Macon Robinson, 240 E. Old Damon St. South Richmond, came walking fast, climbed upon my demonstration platform and asked, "come to me when you want your wife, who has had the rheumatism in her leg one year and when she would lift it up she would holler. She dragged me doing now. She dragged out of it. On my return from work this afternoon, she kicked at me with that same limb. I was never more surprise doing now. She said, "All my misery is gone." Mr. Willie Rawlins, 2114 Bainbridge St, said to me: "My mother had not taken me back eight months, suffering with her back eight months, having had tried many remedies, but nothing seemed to relieve her. I carried her a cup four or five days ago. Now my mother is walking around, and is walking around. I am letting the world know what the cup is doing, for I believe it would be equal to a crime that the wonders the cup is doing is a crime. I believe I have received nearly a hundred thousand testimonials during the eleven years since I invented the cup. Sick people, get busy. Today it may be inconvenient for you to come and see me, but the cup will do you just as you did.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915. To Boston? To Columbus? Which? Perhaps both. It is possible. The politicians of Georgia are announcing themselves for candidates and virtually on their stand in the Frank case. It appears that those who were not in for hanging the prison need not apply. It is being said that the late Dr. M. B. C. Mason was mistreated while ill at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md. It is a very strange report to come from such a great institution, and which has its reputation to preserve. It is said that the board of bishops will investigate the matter. It should do so in order to find out if "railroading" Negroes are on that institution's program. The many friends of Chas, H. Turpin, of St. Louis, Mo., will be pleased to learn that he has won his contest for constable. In the election nearly a year ago he was declared beaten by six votes. Mr. Turpin had reason to suspect that he was unfairly beaten and demanded a recount, the result of which showed him to have been elected. At the first counting enough Turpin votes, considered invalid, were thrown out to beat him. Mr. Turpin is the proprietor of the well known Booker Washington theatre, one of the most successful playhouses conducted by Negroes. The death of Ernest O. Orsburn, of Cleveland, O., will be noted elsewhere in this publication. Mr. Orsburn was one of the great baritone singers of the country. He did not travel, but wherever he happened to be located his voice was heard in the best musical gatherings. He was of high culture in all respects, and which he showed in all of his movements. He was a great singer, and he was identified with the best by way of society. His rich voice and fine presence will not early permit him to be forgotten. The older members of the congregation of Bethel church will remember Ernest O. Orsburn. We do need books that point out individual faults and racial faults with the view of bettering the individual and the race. But when a publication denounces the whole race in the way as no good, we can't see the purpose of such a volume. There is some good persons in every race, in every town. Lot and his wife were found Sodom and Gideon, and although else was bad. It would have been wrong to have destroyed them if they had kept the faith. It was said that nothing good could come out of Nazareth. Jesus Christ came out of it, and by these presents, his religion and morals we all know it. So much Jupiter Pluvius? We are having the tropics while we wait. Rain and sunshine insure great vegetation. In the jungles of South America the path cut through the vegetation with a knife in the morning grows together before the next morning. No fish story, believe me. Cabbage is already selling at twenty cents per barrel. Tomatoes are of abnormal size and it is not yet September when that succulent vegetable is at its best. Corn is rich and generous in grain. If it keeps on this way the grapes will have to be borne on sticks as those gathered of the promised land when scouts went a reconnoitering. Good year to be alive. A report comes from Leavenworth, Kansas that a colored woman, Alice Jackson, was sent to prison to serve from two to five years on a "white slave" charge, turned over to the war den bonds, certificates of deposit and other securities to the value of $25,000. The United States marshal, who brought her to prison, said she had $10,000 worth of diamonds at St. Paul, where she was convicted. Business woman, even if her business is not to be commanded. Perhaps she had an unrestricted chance in life she would have been heard of in some other field doing quite as well. It takes considerable ingenuity to accumulate so much as she did doing anything. Dr. M. A. Majors, of Chicago, is working with commendable zeal to make his department of the forthcoming Half Century Exposition, to be held at Chicago, a success. Perhaps the general management is quite as zealous. We have reason to know that the doctor is doing his part. He is looking out for the literary exhibits which includes books and all manner of publications by Negroes. He is making a thorough canvass of his field, refusing to take "no" for an answer to his solicitations. It is safe to say that the literary department will be one of the attractive spots of the exposition, and as it should be. A race is known best by its intellectual output. Dr. Majors has a thorough knowledge of the field, and knows the importance of making a fine showing. His effort to make a good display should be seconded throughout the country. 1 They say a very vile book, "America's Greatest Problem, the Negro," has just issued from the press. It is a vile villain, according to a review notice. The volume is by one Shufeldt, M. D. The object of the publication is to put the entire Negro race out of commission. He has a big job on hand. He says that the Negroes have no morals to correct. Does he know this by observation or participation, or both? Perhaps he did not stay on the job long enough to find all about it. It's a very wise man in these days that can know very much about any one else except himself. In fact, to keep straight one's self is about as much as one person can do, not speak of all the millions. If the individual is so base the jail house will catch him, so we don't need any self-appointed censorship. If the present jail houses are not sufficiently ample to care for refractory citizens money for more will be speedily appropriated. Can't see where the doctor gets in. The occupation of Hayti is having an immediate moral effect. It may prove lasting since this is the first time the United States has gone so far as intervening in the affairs of the island. It ought to teach a well needed lesson. Our government has announced that its intention is only to restore order, to rid the country of the disgraceful scenes that the western hemisphere lose some of its Kilkenny cast aspect. Mexico is in a turmoil; it is enough without Hayti casting in, contributing to the unrest of the world. However, the Haytians are merely following their chief occupation, killing presidents and having a country look on the happenings there with much concern, and indeed, some are inclined to criticise the government for interfering. Hayti is independent, all right, won it through war, as we won our own, and it would certainly be a great calamity if its heroic past must go to naught through strife due to ambitious men. No sense in having a revolution every six months. Something must be done to abate the nuisance, even if it be necessary to resort to heroic measures. SAVING ISAIAH T. MONTGOMERY Score one for the white people. One of our exchanges has this in a recent issue: "The Planters' Bank of Clarksdale, Miss., is acting as trustee and registrar for the bond subscription for the purpose of paying the encumbrances on the property of Isaiah T. Montgomery and his wife at Mound Bayou. This fund has been started by the white people of Mississippi and is in itself a deep appreciation of the distinguished and useful career of Mr. Montgomery." The Planters' Bank is pushing its subscription scheme and has issued a circular letter, of which the following is a part: "As a testimonial of appreciation of the services rendered the South and Nation, by Isaiah T. Montgomery, through which both the white and Negro races have been benefited; and in order to assist Montgomery and his wife to pay off the encumbrances (approximately) $28,000 on their land, the district of 789 acres farm land and 50 town lots, including saw mill and gin, valued at $77,000 at Mound Bayou, Mississippi, I hereby subscribe," and so forth. We are much pleased to know that the grand old man will have his broad acres spared to him—that he will be rescued from the wreck of the new "Deserted Village." Mr. Montgomery is known in Indianapolis. He has been a visitor to this office. He is one of the old school, quiet, unobtrusive, ultra respectable, and carefully considers the relationship of the races. He appreciates the white people, respects them for what they have done and are doing for the race. Without their assistance there would have been no Mound Bayou, in the beginning. Now at what seems to be its conclusion, they are still with him. Such love will offset a lot of other things that we charge up to the white people. To care for this grand old character is a feather in their cap. And as Eva Tanguy says to her audiences who so thoroughly appreciate her, "God bless you! God bless you." THE GEORGIA SCHOOL QUESTION Some of the greater schools of Georgia possibly may suffer because of the law which prohibits white teachers from teaching in colored schools. And yet in this far away day from the race's beginning there should be nothing lost on account of what has been mentioned as the result of the contact with white people, the inference being that our race profited by such contact. It would not be fair to say that the race did not profit by the superior wisdom, culture and manners of the white people, it was especially so, saying that to come under law, fact, the Negroes owe all of what they are in an intellectual way to the white people—the white teachers; they were the alpha. Some will say that they were not without pay for their services, insisting that this is a bread and butter world and that unless it is forthcoming there are no services rendered. And this is largely true; but there is such a thing as saacrifice in the world. The religious seed, wherever sown, has been with the spirit of self-denial. Not that it has always so. But very often, without doubt. Many of the earlier white teachers, fired by the spirit caught from Harriet Beecher Stowe and from the wave of purification which came over the country with the coming of Abraham Lincoln, left homes of plenty and went South to help in setting up a new born people. Among these were lily handed white girls, whose homes were scarceer less than religious sanctuaries, cloister in Christian sweetness and seren THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER ity. They heard the call to the fields of the lowly and responded as the men of the North answered Mr. Lincoln. What they saw, what they did in righting the tangled skein of ignorance and poverty will be written. The white school teachers of that day followed the flag as they have more recently done in the Philippines, but with a different spirit. All of this will not be forgotten, at least, it should not be forgotten. But a change has come. Hard and fast race lines have been established, the unexpected. The more contact in the school room does not offset what the race endures in all other relations of life. Practically there is no contact in the churches, theaters, restaurants, hotels, salons, lodges and many stores and offices. This being the case in the situation of being killed or applaud in the sentiment tending to deploy the action of the Georgia Legislature. It is hollow mockery, thinking cymbals, sounding brass to deplore this when the contact that is worth while is as effectually shut up as the tombs of the Rameses. True enough the Legislature had in mind the meaner thing of keeping the races apart, but what does that matter? It is no different to the resolutions in force throughout this country. We regret the fact that white teachers are displaced in the schools, but merely from the standpoint of personal loss. Their presence in the Georgia school rooms do not in the least help in the matter of promoting the interest of the Negroes. Perhaps some may object to this homely truth; that our race gets more help from the white people by way of manners and morals in their menial capacity than from any contact in the schools, or from any other in the schools, his respect are ideals in name. There are a sort of superscription—written high up, but not justified by the subsequence, as it concerns our race in relation to the white people. Happily, we have the start; we have the books of the white people. From these we can model our lives and our own books. If we can not, then we are a failure, or hot house plants that need nursing eternally. If the Negroes are not now prepared to care for their schools—root and branch—they will never be. There is no disposition for an interchange of teachers. The white people have declared it so. Why not gladly take up the burden and make good. Let us help them to let us go, and let us know that way. When ever the Negro can get a job among his own kind he should think it an opportunity and not a calamity as some would have it concerning the late move in Georgia. The thing was not done out of love for us, but we win just the same. MILITARY TRAINING Those business men who are taking a course of military training in New York are a little late in going at it. But it is never too late to do good. One would not think the whole intent is to do personal good. They are also setting an example for the country and which it stands very much in need of in these times of unrest. We are given to peace in this country, and it may be that we will never be embroiled as the great countries of Europe are today. But we hold no brief to that effect, and since we do not, meaning that there's no certainty as to the future, the country is wise in keeping alive to what is taking place in the world generally. Of the six greater divisions of the earth five are now touched by war. South America, alone, escapes. As much as we prefer to be known as the nation of peace, and as we truly are, the matter is not wholly within our keeping. The Lusitania event showed very clearly that the very guardians of the peace, the newspapers, not to speak of their many readers, at heart, were ready for war. Our isolated situation, doubtless contributed something to our nerve, but at that, there was enough of the real spirit exhibited to make it plain that we are not likely to ever be completely exempt from war. The most peace loving natures among us can now see how easily it is to be invigored into trouble. Mexico is as independent as the United States, and ordinarily only a very few people of this country would think of taking a part in its troubles. The natures spread over years, menacing the peaceful boring nations, when the cries of its distressed people are heard over the turmoil of war, all due to discordant chiefs, who can not have their own way in strangling the country, then in the name of humanity and peace there should be arbitriment somewhere, in the parliament of nations. Some silly-headed individual has suggested the federation of the nations into one great people. He would have the laws from one source—one supreme head—one supreme parliament and the rest of it as we find it in this country. Vain and visionary? Yes. But Mexico and Hayt would profit immensely by such an arrangement. Those two countries are contributing their share towards the conversion of the avowed peace makers. Just as determined men suddenly become suffragettes through the prolonged agitation of the women, just so we find those who have stood stoutly for Mexico and Hayt as independent national units, suddenly converted to indifferent to the unworthy part they are playing in the country warlike. Everywhere there are evidences of making ready for what might happen due to what's taking place in those countries and abroad. The country is wise in breaking with the spirit of over-confidence, over-conservatism. Wise, because it is very clearly seen that war can come without being bidden. Belgium was as peaceful as a country churchyard, yet because it lay in the path of war it was wrecked by it. Perhaps there is no necessity for great military activity, but it is plain to see that ordinary precaution is due. It has already been said that we can not escape war. It is to be hoped that the prophet has got a guess coming. We are, however, by no means immune, nor are we the ones. The splendid preparedness of Germany is the efficiency of men that counts most. An army of 200,000 well trained men can easily beat a million rustics with "scythes and sickles." Germany can congratulate itself that, in spite of the unfavorable comment anent its "barbaric" rule of pressing young men into the military service, it has seen the military serviceableness of its men owing to the exacting regimen. The thought has nothing to do with who is to blame for the present war. All of the greater countries of Europe are of high military efficiency, and none the less so are the lesser ones in proportion. So Germany's preparedness is not necessarily a sign of provocation. The world which has long gone to Germany as a schoolteacher in many respects is not losing the lessons it is teaching in this war. Perhaps our own country will never see the day of military compulsion as known in Germany, but it is safe to say that every man with bounder will enter more heartily into the spirit of urging military training for its male citizens, knowing what they now know, owing to the German formidability.

We haven't lost a game at the Federal park yet. Let us hope we don't. Ben Taylor practically won Sunday's game, when he hit for a home run with the bases full. Dicta Johnson won two games from the Cuban's in three days. Keep up the good work, Dicta. Chacon got a home run in Tuesday's game. Only one made in Northwestern park during the series. Monday's game, which was won by the Cuban's, was featured by some sensational fielding by each club. Pedroso, of the Cubans, is certainly a ball player. He played left field, behind and caught in Sunday's game. Some resemblance. Charleston and Cuban's were the batting kings in Sunday's game. They each gathered three hits off the islander's twirlers. Ben Taylor got three hits Monday. A three bagger, a double, and a single. He got three also, one of which was a double. The A's only got three hits in Tuesday's game, but as two of them came in the last inning, it helped to win the game. Charleston, DeMoss and Allen were the ones to-connect safely with Pardon's slants. Charleston and Allen hit for two baggers. Everybody interested in the baseball game between the "morning Glants" of Chicago had come to L. Tayler has to say in the Freeman this week. The Cubans have at last gone from our midst. Next on the program will be the Lincoln Stars, with the famous "Cannon Ball" Reddling. Let us hope we have as good luck as we had before. The people didn't "fall" for Rube Glants, but the Lincoln Stars would, as everyone that saw the games between the two clubs, could clearly see that Mr. Foster exaggerated things very much. Dismuks hurt his hand last week, and was unable to get into action during the game, so he top shaked to face the Lincoln at Federal Park, Sunday. Here's trusting that you are, old boy. Shively, the pride of Bloomington, was out of the lineup, Sunday. He was thought little rest might do him some good. As the A's had on their hitting togs, he was not missed.

No manager will make a mistake in booking this high class act, but Miss Cox seems to be a favorite round Macon, as this is her third engagement here within a year. She is singing "I Won't Give Up" and "Right In" as an encore. The bill closes with a very funny little afterpiece. "The Exploits of Elaine," featuring Patricia Arden shown every Monday and Wednesday, has a tendency to appeal to the patronage more than any serial artist. "The Diamond From the Sky," is also a drawing card shown here every Saturday. The management spares no effort to showcase his large and appreciative audience.

FRANK MONTGOMERY VERY MUCH ALIVE. Gives His Version of the Mixup With String Beans—Florence McClain and Sweetie May Had No Part In It. Friend Elwood—I am writing to have you rectify the report that I am dead. He was my friend, and I will be in your last issue that String Beans was paying me fifty dollars a week as a bonus. I was paying me fifty dollars a week again. The morning of the trial String Beans asked me how much I wanted to pay. I did not want anything. All I wanted was the money back that I would have to spend on the doctor's bill and/or insurance, as it wouldn't do me any good to see serving time. So he signed an agreement that I spent that week in pay- COLORED MEN Wanted to prepare as Sleeping Car and Train Porters No experience necessary. Positions pay $95 to $100.00 per month. Steady work on stand- railroads. Passes and Uniforms furnished when necessary. Write now Inter-Ry. C. I. by Dept. 171, Indianapolis, Ind. ments of twenty-five dollars weekly. When I came to New York the next week and worked at the Lafayette Theatre. I had a relapse and had to have a doctor daily. My doctor's and medical bill came to fifty-eight dollars and eight cents. That made the amount of money I spent one hundred of thirty-two dollars a week. The fifty-eight dollars and eight cents. I didn't charge up to String Beans at all. Out of the seventy-five he was to pay me he has only paid me twenty dollars up until the present time, so that is all the root about him paying me fifty dollars a week until I was able to work. But I think he should pay me that a great deal to pay. There is one else who would let him off as I did, and I think that he should appreciate that much. And another thing I wish to rectify is that Florence and Sweety were not mixed up in their dressing rooms when we were on their dressing rooms when we occurred and Florence and Sweety are the best of friends. If String Beans was as nice as his wife Sweety May he would not have had any trouble. I am sorry that the whole thing occurred right, but I know that it is right, and any one on the bill will tell you. It all started over me speaking to him about using profane language in the room, and that started the fight and I accommodated him. The only thing I was fighting fair and he was using weapons. All of us were using guns, and of any one and have never fought any way but fair, and never will. All that he has kept me hear for some good purpose. I thank Mr. Salem. Tutt Wattney for taking up his valuable time in coming to my rescue and doing something that no one else could have done without notice in taking me in place in the act. I also thank all my other friends for what they did for me, especially Homer and Emanuel, the electrician. FRANK MONTGOMERY P. S.-I would have answered sooner bows for the Columbia wheel. Will be with one of them at the Trocadero Philadelphia, week of Aug. 16, 1415. THE GREAT EASTERN STOCK COMPANY AT CROWN GARDEN, INDIANAPOLIS — PORTER & PORTER, DRAKE & WALKER AND BRASS BAND THE THE GREAT EASTERN STOCK COMPANY AT CROWN GARDEN, INDIANAPOLIS — PORTER & PORTER, DRAKE & WALKER AND BRASS BAND THE Manager Tim Owlesy struck it right when he engaged H. Drake's Great Judge by the big audiences the company has been having. Standing room only so far this week with good nights, Mr. Drake will be remembered for his spelling and language. Heago with his stock company. The personnel has changed, only he and Miss Walker are of the present company, and which is in keeping with the view that the playlet is bound to come. If not, the person is not hoped that it will, but the people like to see a change; they like a select what they wish to see as there are offerings of all classes of enterprising Garden theatre; it must answer every demand. And that demand is not always one way. A judicious mixture On the opening night the company band gave some breczy music in front, and then flowed with persons who wished to see what the company had to offer, and who were well drilled in what they have to do. At the proper time the curtain upstairs appeared, boys and girls, who appeared favor at once by the way they did their part, and a tuneful song, sang with dash and accompanied by attractive movements. The harmony was at once noted—fatal. H. Drake followed in his song "Honolulu," supported by the orchestra, and accompanied with applause at his first appearance by the many friends he made at the previous engeniuses, a tenor tenor, which he uses as good effect in all of his singing. He costumes strikingly, making what might be a musical tenor, which he uses as good effect in all of his singing. At this juncture is the beginning of the skit—the playlet. White brief, it is. The playlet is the beginning of this is due, in part, to the personality of the principals who are: H. Drake, Buster Porter, Portrait, Wade, Porter, who is the comedian, fits in the play nicely; he is unusually easy in his work—free from the constraints of his work. Drake is known for his splendid work. Voice and expression good. He makes one understand what he is talking about and to make one understand about. Miss Wade makes an interesting mamma. She makes a decided hit with her comedy. She was mandy. She was nicely supported by a quartette of good voices. Master Cliffton Drake drew some tears when he took her to the Home. The little fellow reached the hearts, reminding one of those boy sopranos of the great choirs. The little fellow will make a great one if he When in New York, the new scene Drake & Porter go on numbering the money and getting ready for the function.

BILLY KING AND HATTIE McN TOSH INTERVIEWED. The Critic is Bored But Cordial to Their Contention. Restitution is what actors want from a critic if they think anything has been said that would rob them of their degrees of goodness. It is the reason that the public of the nation, the donor from the public, I am always bored when I see actors approaching because as they rise, they are more aware of the things that the Actors have a way of poking their finger in a critic's chest. Having contracted a palpite in the area, I am not sure that the person of service, in these days I feel like ducking up an alley to avoid torment at all times, is the only one of the people of obligations. After Billy King, whose shop talk tongue runs like a mill clapper, had a long time to be a good-looking white musical comedy in the forest of the Pacific coast years ago, where he had acquired his new tools to buy the new tools and the new tools are the most several actors in the show business, the mistrel business of course, and that his plays are all�agில் more often than his works, he has borrowed from the old and old works of the new and new by noted authors that he may produce by Tom McIntosh that he never yet even been looked at because he has plays of his own that have been so long as to be the only one of the characters he is a dictate to him about how he wants a part played. A scene set or a production staged, his duties in cutting his plays down to a one hour performance has absorbed a great duration of time, and as he turned me over his wife, Mrs. Hattie McIntosh King, who later started the show in the English the statement last week that King is happily supplied with what she knows of Jesse Shipp's, Williams and Walkers. It was a very good one to be a good one to be a good one to be a good one to be a good one to be a good one to be a pair of overalls, the fact that he is always from Philadelphia, the story of the rough edges in the literature of his plays to be polished and the regulation situations in the classification his plays are in the study of. What they lack is legitimate musical comedy construction. Brooks and Bowen at the Grand, and King in Two Plays, Turns The appearance of Shelton Brooks and Clarence Bowen in vaudeville jointly with Billy King in a new play turned upon the event both in the last Monday night. Brooks' migratory in his comedy, led Bowen, with his extra fine tenor voice, who imitated Caruso and sang "Sheltering Palms," to share equal honors with him, but he took a critical song retained his invincible standard. The white acts were La Vola, genius wire artist, who balanced, cycled and jumped two yards up on the wire. He was assisted by his wife. He was with the old imminent speaker who took well. "Darktown Journal," which introduced Billy King in his fifth play, was a farce comedy in one act, with songs, which excited continuous laughter throughout. King in localizing the life of his small southern country town was at error and rendered both his character and the play improbable. Hattie McIntosh, a woman who whipped the editor (King), Howard Kelly, formed editor, archie Jones, and the observer, Geortrud Sangers, as the reporter, Miss Kelly, Mr. Liston and Margaret Jackson were all favorable in their parts and C. Bailey and Doc Stanger in a duet, and Bessie Brown in a "chic" duet with "My Mother-in-law," the fourth play, a farce comedy with music the two scenes, was the offer of the half of the time. Billy King, who entered in a good spot, was again the center of attraction in wit and humor. Hattie McIntosh was also fully up to stand in a鄂尔多斯 work, and Bessie Brown gave a fine piece of acting as a daughter. Howard Kelly sustained his part nicely but was more than a good show too suddenly. Doc Stingley was as usual a little eccentric in his characterization, but nevertheless good, as was Archie Jones and Gertrude Saunders. The Margarage, a�ackson, he heard to a good advantage in two song numbers, the latter being musical in cadeance and harmonious, and Zenobra Cole and Connie Bates and Zenobra. The story of the plot, which was the mistake of a letter which involved the purchase of a baby grand piano and a baby child, of the young woman who had seeped in the house of the child of the son-in-law husband of the daughter of the mother. The story was the most complete one that was unravelled and the idea of "the good story," the second, best to the "Smart Set at the Beach." The vaudeville acts included Hunter and Chappelle in a new military sketch which gave them a good opportunity to make the story of the son and singer. The white acts were the Stevens, musical artists, who were fair, and Marie Laurent, a soprano whose voice was sweet in the face of her songs too much of one style. The New Monogram Lew LaMar, the ragtime singer and talker, was quite the attraction here and made a hit, although a little too rash on comic sarcasm of female formalities. of S. H. Dudley's Smart Set company, who sang charmingly, as of yore, and Lottie Gee, a well known clever actress, was a decision good caretaker. of Ella Ella, who danced. Clever, especially in their dancing, rather than their act. The Old Monogram. Billy and Sadie McCarver repeated their success from the other house, as did the Mills sisters. Tim Moore, in a single archetype on the cover of *Snowball*, faced a face imitation of Fanny Wise, in the song "Snowball," warmed people up. Amusement Announcement. The States theatre, with Bailey's augmented orchestra has "Second in Common," for Saturday, August 14, and "The Rosary," Aug. 15th. The Lincoln is drawing well in special headliners. The Atlas theatre is full every night and their pictures are of the best. The Phoenix has the "Blindness of Virtue" for Saturday, and a special for Sunday. The Washington will have two specials of the series for both Saturday and Sunday.

Every singer has his day; Every actor has his night; But a critic can never help it. Whether they fall or they're right Every wager on an act; Every scene that's in the plays; Will have a critic's judgment. Whether it falls or they're plays. --Sylvester Russell.

Sir—Would a theater or other amusement manager incur a penalty by discriminating against colored soldiers of the British army, either in price of the dignity or accommodations. J. M. Philadelphia, July 28, 1915. An Act of Congress, passed in 1911, authorizes the dignity and honor of the uniform of the United States," provides: "That hereafter no proprietor, manager or employee of an amusement or amusement in the District of Columbia or in any territory, the district of Alaska or insular possessions of the United States, shall discriminate against any person lawfully wearing uniform of the army navy revenue cutter service or marine corps of the United States, and any person making or causing to be made such discrimination shall be guilty of a misdeemment, punishable by a fine not exceeding $500." Slowly and almost imperceptibly the summer days are shortening which means the amusement officer can caught off funds where to wipe one over the long and tiresome voyage of the hot summer. At present writing the Smart Set is the only big show booked to take the road at the beginning of the season. Others may materialize later. Many of them may happen the hot weather are opening, making an opportunity for many acts that have been done.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATER. PHILADELPHIA. simists we fined that the demand for goods acts is greater than the supply. There is a market place for all the good acts and at a reasonable figure. It is only the mediocre and the bad acts that will have to hollow "hard times." Acts that are put together after the contracts are received and rehearsed before an audience will find it troublesome to get continued bookings. Performers who are unwilling to study or rehearse, who do not make an effort to get nothing new, who do not make an endeavor to produce something that the other fellow has never done or never thought of doing, who are satisfied to sing an old song, tell a few suggestive jokes and do a few overworked dance steps, will not be sought after by the booking agents and managers. The movies are educating the people. Acting is seen at its very best in the movies. In fact, the movies have been sent to make the drama and the vaudeville behave. People are still willing to pay advanced prices for a good drama, or musical comedy or vaudeville performance, but when the above mentioned performance-anes are below the standard, the people return to the movies at 5 cents per and --- The Byron Brothers presented one of the highest classss musical acts it has been our pleasure to witness. Their stage settings are ripe for artistry. Their instruments are the best and all of the latest model. Costumes pretty neat fitting and in harmony with the setting. The act has been carefully designed to make it easy or how to make an entrance or an exit whether for a regular number or an encore. They have learned the art of making easy and grace while upon the stage. As musicians they rank with the best. The saxophone quintette, the quartette and the introduction. The saxophone and piano with piano accompaniment, and a skillfully played harp solo are feature numbers of the act. The boys are gentlemen. Intelligent and relaxed, they interact with piano which they are leading representatives. Ruth Allen and Delia Fleming entertained with a sister act. Miss Allen sang very sweetly, while the dancing of Miss Fleming is worthy of special mention. Dennel and Holden presented a comedy sit that pleased. Hester Moore, of the team of Tim and Hester Moore, is a clever actress. She knows how to sing and can dance with the best of them. Rhoades and Jackson supplied the comedy of the bill. Their black face imperfection sang a number of original selections which were warmly received. "The Hestation Blues" was their best hit. The boys are working on several numbers, two of which are "Stick" and "Bon Bon Budy, Jr." We regret that some correspondent saw fit at this late date to give publicity to the trouble between Frank Montgomery and Butler May, better known as "String Beans. Your correspondent was an uninterested fan of the frances was such as often happens between two men, overwrought and in a white heat of passion. The women were in no trouble. The peacemakers and the inconveniences they suffered as a result of their husbands' altercation was the lot common to all peacemakers. No one regrets the occurrences of the frances but to the whole theatrical fraternity and we should be slow to give them publicity. As Shakespeare says, "The evil men do the best, the good is often intent with their bones." asked him. "Good acts, well acted," was his reply without a moment's hesitation. It has been and will continue with the method of a actor to a medium not as a marionette."

Dudley said, it more of our colored shows would copy after Tolliver's big show, it would help give work to a great many performers. Friday, August 6, Mrs. Alberta Newton gave a reception at Gideon hall, in which we crowded, and at 2 o'clock lunch was served to the entire company.

After all there must be something to the colored profession for their letter list is sometimes swell. Dear U. Tellil—A circus is coming to our town and I'm so glad that I'm about to shoot. You are wide awake to the fact that some shows carry confidence men and "skin'em-awl" specialists for the circus, but the plan way to beat some of the sking games that are sure to be practiced in our inoffensive town I would be the happiest girl in town—what would you advise? Answer—Get that lad Taylor, of St. Louis, before he joins hands with Handy, of Memphis, in an agreement to beat a sking game, Trix. Lewis and Lewis, wooden shoe dancers, have said goodbye to Rivierview Park, Louisville, Ky. Riley Miles will open his musical comedy the first week in September. The band has already shot. Told you last week that he was a producer. After this dope smoke the cartoons on the front page. We've had our June weddings and July spats. Now lookout for August separations. The number that John saw and the number of soldiers that the Germans have captured from Russia are near affinities. Young Knox dishes out sport news in sport style and I believe the lad is out there otherwise and a harmless man in the chorus when I sing the shortest but the truest song that was ever written: "Young Knox Nothing." If the gent falls to come across with the treat we, the band, are using the song by erasing the "x" in "Knox." Tim Owsley. Booker Chas. Washington Turpin. Tutt Whitney. Woody Knox. Lew Henry.

Dear old pals: Can't get back to Indianapolis until the latter part of September. Owing to the fact that it comes out at a postal card, it is not impossible for me to write you individually. Read the Freeman and after a bit you see your names under the Stagescope heading gazing in such staring type that you can substitute it for a mirror. Respectfully. FRANK HENDON.

C. I. TAYLOR STANDING UP FOR HIS BASEBALL INTEGRITY. Rube Foster Careless in His Speech —Could be Convicted for Libel— Jealous of the A. B. C.'s Manager. Mr. R. S. Abbott, L.L.D., Chicago, Ill.: Dear Sir—I note in the note of your paper of "American Giants in Fierce headlines." "American Giants in Fierce Blot." "Hoosier City." And a subtitle that "Pete Hill's nose was broken by unpleasant players, players hurt in the meles." All he appeared as Special in your publication. Then in your issue of the July 15th edition of the type, on front page, "Rube Foster's Signed note of A. B. C. Trouble." Sally is not my purpose to deny the allegations as they appeared in your paper, for it is only necessary of her to state that the people Pate Hill every day, to just ask him if he was assaulted by the umpire with a gun or they may look into his face and see that he was assaulted by any of the other people were injured in the "melee." Neither is my intention to deny the many malicious and abusive statements I appear in the "Signed Statement" of the self-styled "Greatest Man," the game has produced. But it is my desire to show, through the columns of your paper, a few facts concerning the incident, and some facts years trying help get accomplished. And in this way it may be that some of the venomous and libelous statements that you appear in that they are as untrue be in that they are as untrue the statement that Pete Hill got his nose broken with the gun. I am sure, too, that you would win, I am sure to set a hold type, since I am not to mollign anybody, or try to destroy the usefulness and life's effort of any individual. On the other hand, I am going to win, I will be uncontradictory, and will be of much more benefit to the malicious and libelous stuff that came out in glaring headlines the past In regard to the trouble at Indianapolis, on the 18th and 19th of last month, let me state that Pete Hill did not get his nose broken nor did any other of the American Giants, except Bauchman, get the weight of any body's hand on them. And the case of Bauchman occurred on Monday, twenty-four hours after the great and "bloody riot" I must admit right here that I did not approve of the striking of Bauchman by the officer, nor the abuse the manager of the American Giants was subjected to by the police sergeant. Although I have been malicious, it and libelously styled a "stool-pigeon" and all the other things which a poisoned mind could think to call me, it is true, nevertheless that I am not a stool-pigeon; it is further true that I have never in my life had anything to do with police officers, in the role of a stool-pigeon, or in any way, except to do as I did at Federal park, Indianapolis, on Sunday, July 18th, acting in the capacity, insofar as I was able to keep some one from being carted away. In the police station. It is also true that the manager of the American Giants has laid himself liable for a libel suit in the Federal courts for such a libelous and slanderous letter as he has put his signature to, unless he can prove every single charge. If he will take the time to consult his lawyers he will find that he would have to prove beyond doubt that he is "cool-pigeon," and an inverte, that he had found me to be "low down and dirty," that I had been "beaten up" on many occasions by my own players and others, on the ball field, and that even my "own brothers would not play with me," and that I "ruined" baseball at West Baden, from 1977 to 1979. Now permit me to say that the readers of your papers need to the baseball public, the United States, that each and all of the above charges are absolutely false, and must convict the author of them as maliciously putting forth every effort, whether it be fair or unfair, to shift his own misdoings to the shoulders of another. As wise as he seems to be, it is interesting to note that he would lay himself liable to accountability before a United States name signed such matter as has been named one person there is a limit to what one person may say, through the newspapers, concerning the character of others. He says he has helped all the ball players in the United States to win off-seasons for many years past; well, he keeps up just such tactics in the way of false repressions autumns and springs. He also the privilege of paying out some of his wealth in a libel suit. It might not be amiss just at this time to request of the reason for this, and that you are likely to have the chance to ask Pete Hill, if during the game Sunday July 15th, did Pitcher Wickman play, right in the middle of the game. I was not in play and throw it to the field that was in play and throw it to centerfield to Hill and he (Hill) took the ball and threw it out of the back side and jars, and while I was in play, I was not in play, and when I was asking, don't forget to ask the writer of that malicious and libelous article if he, last year, had been and was in play, and he had been and was in play, but it had to be thrown out of the game? Also ask him to choose balls cost and nothing and he is not in play. I am a need for a attention in this connection that the author of that libelous letter has had more than one month from the time he was in play, and he has been from more than one city in this country for just such tactics, and worse, that caused the trouble in the new last month. I think that I have not yet been to read the fact that the Bauxman and pushed him away from third base, but we still believe even Bauxman can do it. I am not very much in the case of a team that he was not absolutely true that he was spiking and stabbing third base, instead, as is claimed, he was trying to stop the jocking line. I am not going to do it with me, but I am not going to do it with him. I am going to be him and pushing him away from the base, neither was he right in spiking that he was not as that sometimes, "forbearance ceases to be a virtue". I have been handed many hot deals on different occasions, and nothing has been done to get tired and resort to other things. As regards the police seargeant abusing the manager of the American Game, he knew nothing more of it than the people of Chicago knew, and they were away, away, away, and I chief police of Indianapolis, or in any way connected with the police department, and therefore lack of responsibility misled the other malicious and libelous statements of that venomous letter, written to me and to I should take the balance of my time writing of the things that are of interest to me, and I sure that it is the United States that the little incident which occurred here. In fact, amounted to such a little that the writer of the letter the country don't out of it. I sure that it is a very rare case when the white press in any case the country don't out of it. If it had been as it appeared in the columns of your paper, it would not have had the private ball public of the United States, for the reason, the Associated Press dispatches would have carried it to every nook of your paper was setting up its type. The thing that hurt Foster most was it immediately lost four straight games. In the past five years, I have written many letters, mostly individual, some public Negro league, and some organizational. Negro league, and I met with all sorts of opposition from sources which would be a great surprise to the basement. Baseball is in its infancy among colored people and with the nourishment organization, it will grow to be a giant sport. The players who race will be proud of, and hundreds of our young men who are athletically inclined and desire an education, can be involved in professional clubs during the summer months and set sufficient pay to enable them to go through college on their own account, for the young college men getting enough out of it, seems to be a thing of the past. I write many letters to Mr. Andrew Rube Foster, every winter and every summer, making suggestions as to how to help the family and children to work together. Last year, during the month of April this year, during the months of April and May, I have written him to me to find out how many people I have to do as to the league. And he has agreed that I am right in every statement that I have told him that he is a very difficult man. He is a good man, but I am very difficult to do as to the work he is a very difficult man that I will be the rightful leader of us in the order of the time. I have to do with him that I only wanted to act as a lieutenant in helping him accomplish the thing that has been uppermost in my life, too, and to suppose, for these many years, I made a position to him last fall that I had to do with him to travel together in all the cities and the city of the city. I am a very different person in the organization of the league, and that I would pay my own expenses and he could do the same. We could go and go to the park to see the city together, discuss the organization of the league with them, form a local association, in each city and then about the time I will go to the club, I will have a representative of a group of representatives from each local association and the organization of the league, and the company of the company of the school, by electing a president. (I even suggested that he would be the best man for president. And mentioned in the map of the school I would not have that position for the reason that he might rather be a contender in the organization of the league.) I am a very difficult club, and by fixing salary limit and doing many other things that come up at such meetings. One year, he gave me a decision not making a decision to go to the team or organization as the birth of the Federal League and its wide publicity, stating that I would likely be short-lived and that I would pay my own expenses. I am very much so, but I would be able to get for the colouring of the team (which was pretty good figuring). Then last fall I kept the malls after the school was made to the year and the year he said what we needed most was good ball clubs, and managers, which is all true but he never has to do with me. But let me state to the baseball public of the United States that the way to get good clubs and managers of clubs, an equal action of present and long-term. I am a very important thing to stop to players jumping from one club to another after they have agreed to play with a club. And that is only the done by the organization. The information of a league is the only Just at this stage of this article it might be in order to give the public an opportunity to thank Mr. Poster, May 5th and 17th, 1915, remember. Remember, readers, who AR C. I. TAYLOR, Manager A. B. C. Ball Team. these letters were written, fully two and one-half months before the "great" trouble between the American Giants and the Baltimore Ravens was no idea in my mind that it would ever become necessary to make the same public, and I would not do so because of the purpose of Mr. Foster to destroy, by false accusations and misrepresentations, a life's effort to make the baseball public of the United States believe that he is the only man in the whole country who can be guilty of others of us are tearing down. No one will deny that he has done a great deal for baseball, but he has not worked with anyone who have done a great share in getting colored baseball up to the high standard it is, although we have not got the chance to do so in mind, too, that some of us have not sought publicity in the matter, either. We have done what we could for the good of the game, and not for self-aggrandisement. Here are the letters: The Foster-Taylor Correspondence. May 5, 1915. Dear Sir—Both your letters to hand, I have noted very carefully what you have to say in regard to the proposition that I have made to you in the letters, I do not care to be put in the light of the public's eye as the leader in this undertaking, and I lightly belong to you. All I have said was in the way of suggestions to you, with the hope that you would see that the other managers of a school are aware of the fact that none of us can do anything without the aid of others of us. In other words, the thing that I am making to you is all of us to think in one channel as nearly as that is possible. And unless that can be done there will be little success for the formation of a league on the tentative plan or on a What we all have got to see ultimately is, that there can be no real success for us individually because we cannot succeed in the same way we cannot succeed as a whole except we recognize some of us as a leader, but we recognize none of us as a leader, and we will still that each of us will not have a perfect right to our ideas of things, even if our ideas do not suit the law of harmony with our harmony with his ideas. The thing needed most is a high regard for every one's rights and then he to the line in bringing about perfect accord It is just as you say, we need ball clubs, but you say nothing as to how you can do it. You can continually raided on by managers who have the money to pay higher salaries to the men under your team, and teams that they are already on. An equalization of strength is what is needed and that can only be done by asking for them mentioned, and to which you agree. I am writing in this strain because I think I see in your letter a hikwarenement. It must have your co-operation if it is to amount to anything. I am discussing the same time, with no intention of bringing about a controversy. It is nothing new for me to present with you at all times and all matters pertaining to the future welfare of the game, differences, and I am sure you are THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER too manly to think that I ought to otherwise than have my own idea of things. In other words, I am trying now to act as a lieutenant in this matter/ of getting hinged around you, all the other managers so that if you have any scruples in approaching any of them, the job will be put on me and not you. And after this has been accomplished you could go ahead with the organization. It is just as you admit, most anything is better than the plan we are now working on. Then why not make a strenuous effort to put another plan on foot? The one on which we are working now without doubt had its day and is in great need of relegation to the scrap heap. As you say, this poor year in baseball may serve to bring the players back to their senses, but I can say two things for the ball players, viz: They have not done anything that the white players would not do under like circumstances and further. They have not done what we do to do. They have not caused them to do so. The only difference is, that some of us have felt their misdoings much more keenly than others of us. I have always occupied the smallest place among the managers, but years ago I began preaching against the habit of another. I knew eventually it would arrive at the point it now is. And if some radical change is not made, our future in the game is sure to be disastrous. We need to be gotten together, in organization, except the colored baseball clubs. There are all sorts of organizations among our people and it is surprising that colored baseball clubs have not progress it has been unorganized. I would not care to issue any call unless it had the stamp of your approval on it. It would not amount to very much. I cannot see any success in anything that I am on not alone, but I think I can see much in what we might inaugurate together and in harmony; believing that our undertaking is for the good of one and all. Sincerely yours, C. L. TAYLOR. May 17, 1915. Mr. Andrew R. Foster. 3242 Vernon Avenue, Chicago, IL: Dear Sir--I reply to my letter is now before me. Just as I have stated it, I am not sure that it is entirely too much of the "Great I Am" among colored people in baseball for any or to us to account for what we see. I am not sure that the best interests of you nor anybody else to threaten to wipe somebody off the map in baseball every time someone else is allowed to纵贯 thelege of having something to say and do with affairs that concern them as well as yourself. I note very carefully, that you offer a threat to annihilate me forever from baseball. Now, if provided we are differing on some matter, that you offer a threat to annihilate me forever from baseball. Now, if you can forever wipe me off the baseball map that it would not be good business to do so, for many reasons. All fair-minded people, that I always have a fairy ball club. And that being a fact, it makes money for you to have my club appear as a source of sense enough to operate a ball club, any fair-minded man would not object to me having my own idea of things and having the courage to let my ideas be known. I am speaking to you frankly, but cautiously, for the reason that I am not willing to be drawn into a controversy with you nor any one else. On the other hand, it is my purpose to have as good ball club as I can get together, and with the aid of any one who will be fair enough to help make provided I am worthy of help, make the best of the opportunities that may present themselves to us. At the same time, it is also my purpose to lay no song, any one's way who may be trying to the same end. I believe, it is their God-given right. I have no chip on my shoulder, it matters not what you may say or think. And I fully realize that you nor any of us will have the success that awaits us if you or any of us adhere to the principles as laid down in your letter. Lastly, I will say that I would be very sorry if you would put anything in my wa to keep me from asking an honest living. It is unfortunate that these acrimonious�盎司 could not be buried for all time. This time could be spent to much better advantage in trying to get the colored league organized. Yours. Let me say, finally, to the baseball public of the United States that the above Mr. Andrew Rube Foster this year. And I fully believe that those of you who saw and read that malicious and libelous letter denouncing the national sport and an "integrate" and other venomous apellations, will draw your own conclusions as to their truthfulness. I state that I have for many years fought even evil that has menaced the national sport. The truth will ultimately be known. Yours for clean sport. I. TAYLOR, Manager A. B. C.'S, Indianapolis, Ind. GIANTS' PENNANT CHANCES HANG ON YOUNG PITCHERS. NEW YORK, August 4.—The Giants' pennant chances this year, hang on the young defense in the big league, to season them. John Coombs has been of vast assistance to Wilbert Robinson in getting the Giants to big league form. The Braves won a world's championship with young pitchers, largely through the defense, Fred Mitchell, Stahlherr's "tight eye." As soon as the club returns from the road, I intend to make it my business to go and play, and show the best youngsters what I know about twirling from the knowledge of the fine points we picked in the years ago, big league. I am going on record as saying that there is raw material on the Giants' staff which I develop. I don't know whether I am fitted to do that or not, but if I can help the team or McGraw or myself by coaching these runners, how to cover up the ball before they pitch so the batter won't get on to the ball. I am the points of pitching. I am going to be on the job. Some veterans steered me when I first broke in. No man can learn the rules without tips. It is not a question of getting out there and just throwing the ball, for the batters are surely going to get on to you and Many stars, not only in pitching, but in the other department, are good players. Some older man taking hold of them and giving them personal tutoring. Honus Wagner, for example, must make a pal out of a recruit each season and show him all he can about baseball. Honus is one of the only ones, for he knows the "look of a ball player," and Fred Clarke can almost count on him developing at least one star for each team. Wagner will select a player from the spring flock of recruits who, perhaps, does not rise up alone him along himself. When Viox, the hard hitting second baseman of the Pirates, broke in, Clarke and other judges connected with the displeased, I don't think he will do." Clarke declared, so I have heard. "He's the freshest busher I ever saw come into the game, and he was as good as the taker he would be better than Cobb." "I think he will come along all right," replied big Honus. "Give the what do you see in him you like?" asked Clarke, surprised and pleased both. "He acts awkward, and the only resemblance to a big league man is him. He does not look like you, Honus, except a little smaller." He took the look of a ball player. "He answered the great shortstop, stubbornly. Clarke knew he had a find then, for Wagner makes few wrong guesses. Heavy Honus took hold of little Viox and coached him in the art of hit- ting and fielding as only the big German has learned it through his years in the big league. Viox did come along, and he has "the look of a ball player" to every one today. Wagner saw it when the rest did not. That is why I think the big fellow may make a fine manager after he gets through actively in the field. He knows ball players, a rare gift. Before Viox, Wagner had�ed a pedagolized in Jack Miller and taught him the game. Miller is naturally one of the smartest players in the league today, and he soon acquired the knowledge Wagner kept hammering into him even off the field when the two were on fishing and automobile trips together. Miller is making good for Huggins in St. Louis every day now and is one of the steadfast stars of the team. He didn't look like a ball player to the rest of the boys when he first came to the Pirates, but he has the "look of the ball player" today which Honus discovered and cultivated in his quiet way. I'll bet Fred Clarke regins he ever traded him. John Evers and Ty Cobb are great men to take hold of youngsters and work with them, for there is a certain amount of pride in every big league, which is gratified if he has a pick out of the first-hand round and the turn out finished product. Cobb will even give tips to recruits on other teams, so I have been told. Maisel, of the Yankees, has been a favorite of his on account of his great speed. He is the ought to hit 400, because he is a flash. I was a Ty in speaking of the small third baseman. "But he don't stop to look them over when he is up there at the plate." If I can pump any pitching knowledge into the man with McGraw, I am going to be an job from this point and I believe it can be done. I am fairly familiar with the "grooves" of the batters in the National League, and I am after the recruits now even on the road about these. With some natural ability, new come to be a lifewar with veteran if he can master and remember the weaknesses of the opposing batsmen. I have started to make a practice of talking to the youngster on the morning he expects to pitch and going over the battingards to the many with him as to the various weaknesses. Stroud has the making of a star in him, for he uses his head all the time. With some coaching McGraw will have a grand staff. I am going to do all I can to develop it. I hope it will be turned out in time this season. Johnny Evers said recently he thought the Braves would finally fight it out with the Giants. John is evidently considering the strength shown by the New York club outside the pitcher's box, but he lead in a game is safe for the Giants with the sort of pitching the team has been getting so far this season. I have been as much to blame as any one, but I am getting along in years and neuritis and one thing and another have held me back. I figure the rest of the team stronger than when we won the pennant in 1912. Merkle and Doyle are both playing much better baseball and each is hitting hard. The Giants are not out of the race yet.—Christy Mathewson. BOWERS' EASTERNS AND ST LOUIS GIANTS WILL PLAY A SERIES OF GAMES DURING K. OF P. ENCAMPMENT. In connection with completed arrangements for the Supreme Lodge K. K. prepared. The famous St. Louis Glants and Bowers' Easterns, champions of the Ohio State Colored League, will enter the American Association Park August 18 and 19. The First and Fourth Regimental band concerts prior to the opening of the two games, also will give a street parade. The officers of the two teams are loud in their praise of the arrangements for the greatest games ever indulged in in professional football. Manager Bowers, of the Easterns, and his assistant, Billy Lewis, are daily putting their men through hard the crucial test with the St. Louis boys. The promoters and originators of the baseball feature, Doc Fassett and King Kidney, are responsible for the success of the feature. Much secrecy is maintained as to what batters will play. The usual line up for the Easterns will no doubt prevail with the exception of a switch of the battery, which is managed by St. Louis recordist on his plans. In the coming practice game Sunday, August 15, the Columbus team will win. It will be remembered the Easterns once met their Waterloo at the hands of the Greene county boys. The St. Louis contingent is one of the strongest aggregations of ball players they have yet went against, the coming game will probably serve as an elimination test. This being the first opportunity that colored professional players with American Association Park, thousands of patrons will take advantage of the occasion to witness the two games on Sunday. AMERICAN DRIVERS OUT TO BEAT DARIO RESTA. Quarrel is on Over Positions at Start of Race—Cooper Shows Best Speed—Little Betting on Result—Shady Aspect of $10,000 Purse. CHICAGO.—Beat Darlo Resta. That is the word that is being passed along the line today among auto racing men. It is Darlo Resta able to cope with the race. It is being used to keep the American speedway on the third at the Chicago speedway tomorrow afternoon? Oldfield, "master driver of the world"; Burman, holder of a second speed of circular dirt track and the great of the California's champion of all the Indianapolis-made Stutz, all say that if Resta does win he will travel the fastest 100 miles in the history of the sport. At the wheel of an English Sunbeam the Italian driver. Porporato negotiated the first century at the average speed of 99.08 miles an hour, in the Chicago race June 26. The prediction, however, has been freely made by parts that the wind of Saturday's race was the same better than 102 miles an hour for the distance. It is folly to try to pick a winner. Resta has been established a eight-year favorite but there is a resolutely money posted in the new win. His advantage lies in the fact that his car has been tried and not found with wanting on Chicago's track as has Earl Cooper's. The Californian finished fourth in the opening race and the overall impression recalled at that time that Cooper had more speed had he elected to use it. Burman's Large Motor. Burman has secured permission to use his 32-cubic-inch Peugeot special motorcycle and pilot cars are driving cars that are in 300-cubic-inch class. Oldfield's Delegation has not yet shown the cars according to the railbirds, and it is quite possible that the old fox is holding something back. A single tire change can defeat into victory and the drivers are praying for a cool day so that the position of delay frightened them lessened. It looks very much as if the century grind tomorrow will be another bloomer. Already the drivers themselves. This afternoon an argument arose between Resta, Oldfield and Burman as to position each car on the road. The agreement was that the driver making the fastest lap in elimination trials was to start from the second from the pole and so on in order. Now Resta does not want to make an elimination race, the sugars deck of cards be cut, the man cutting the highest card to have his choice, Burman and Oldfield let out a message that could have been Kentucky. Not a Pink Ten. "What do you think this is, a pink tea party?" demanded Burman, and then Barney broke into the conversation. "You have to be careful, you have started in," said Oldfield to Resta. "Are you getting oldfield to Resta. Wresta made a hot reply and only one reply. He stopped an argument that might have resulted seriously. Indianapolis race followers were working overtime to make this derby a success, and they have overstepped the Indianapolis race followers were astounded, some few days ago, when information that Oldfield had carried his information that Oldfield had over 110 miles an hour. As a matter of fact Barney did not accomplish such a feat, but the best speed Oldfield has been able to get out of his car was 100 miles an hour. The best speed time on the track during practice. He actually negotiated fifty miles at the one every driver fears. Cooper is the one every driver fears. Intense Rivalry. Cooper is saying little, is keeping over his arguments, and is smiling. Resta freely tells him he is afraid of. There can be no doubt but that the race tomorrow will be a tough one. Rescala, Burman and Oldfield is most bitter. All three are taking every opportunity to win. Barney never has had any particular love for Burman since that memorable moment. Bob gave Barney a trimming. Then of course all of the drivers are fearful of America and clean up 50% of and expect to be loved by his competitors. Then Resta has a way of his own prizes that is not appreciated. There is very little betting on the race, and it seems to want to take a chance. It has to deal with the real trouble between the Chicago Automobile Club and the speedway arose over a question of financing. Another driver demanded that the $10,000 purse be deposited with a reliable bank, and another driver demanded that the $10,000 purse be deposited with a reliable bank, and another driver learned that the drivers each are going to get $2,500 for their efforts. That means that each will get the same amount of money, and makes the race look bad. The only redeeming feature about the race tomorrow is that the men who are entrusted with the race too much open hatred for the race to be anything but a sure enough battle. Oldfield told some friends this afternoon that he would win the purse if he could only win from the "Dago," meaning Resta. One thing is certain, barring accidents, all runners up to 100 miles are going to be smashed. May Be Stalling. Resta spent part of the afternoon retiming his motor. He was sullen and seemed to be in Oldfield and Burman. If these birds are stalling about this rivalry they are good and are wasting their time. The actors as Jim Corbett can pull down a thousand a week. On Hay, who started the Indianapolis race will referee and have entire charge. While it is freely predicted that the average will go over 108 miles an hour it seems as if the race should be placed around 102 to 105 miles. GETTING READY FOR THE BIG PURSE. Mike Gibbons Weighs 160; Must Make 147 When He Meets McFarland ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 6- Returning to St. Paul yesterday afternoon, Mike Gibbons, who has just signed to box the Giants, will be at September, let it be known that if he is successful with McFarlane he will likely meet Young, Ahearn next.

Before the meet for the largest purse ever offered for a bout without a real title, he will work long runs around Como Lake, near where he lives, matches with his brother Tommy and other St. Paul boys and gymnasium work will bring him to the main at that figure until a few days before the bout. Barring exceptionally hot weather, which he says will weaken Mike, says he will be in good condition. ASTOR CUP RACE FIRST ON GOTH- AM SPEEDWAY.
