Dougherty, New York's Brilli Star of Ethiopia?" Pageant Announc Acquaintances in the Capital—Form fleent Silver Service—Ready for the (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1223 S. Strete. N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.—Bishop Alexander Walters, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, the race's real "constructive statesman," has been the chief spokesman for the M. A. E. Manning, of Indiana, editor of the virile Indianapolis World, the eminent prelate paid his respects to the White House, saw in his book "The Capitol in their offices near the Capitol, made a round of the executive departments and put in some telling blows everywhere for deserving mention, in regard, regardless of affiliations. While personally identified with the Democratic organization, and loyal to its interests at all times, he is not a party member, but rather a party boundaries and is for the black man's spirit be he Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Bull Moose, Populist or whatnot. He is not a politician, but a man calls himself as that the man is honest, upright and capable—a real man in every sense of the word. He is one of those of his people who show themselves worthy of support. Bishop Walters is a man of the masses. There is no mystery about his life, his work and his street. Everybody who has a word to say worth while can see him at almost any hour, day or night. He has a strong sense of humor and a "national" an individual is rated by him on his intrinsic merits and one person weighs more than another only as he demonstrates his superior value by his The governing principle in Bishop Walters's makeup is his unaltering opinion. He has faith in the future of religious triumph of the cause to which he has devoted his life. Just as men differ in religious beliefs, so do business methods and means of reaching desired ends, he holds that they will and should differ in political reasoning, some of them in the national equation. If they are not permitted to differ, as other classes, there must be a "square" with the American principle of personal or political liberty, then it is the duty of somebody to take steps to change the course of his career enforced by few of his generation and with leonine strength divinely betrayed. Bishop Walters has brought the task of the governor to any contemporary in the realms of national politics. Considering politics as a science, Bishop Walters attaches a critical banner with a skill of a trained diplomat, and he has succeeded in making civic recognition, of the Negro in the Democratic continent-wide American issue, in which all must play a star part. Some Luscious "Plums" on the Way for Colored, Wilcoxites. Bishop Walters, confirming popular rumors that have been going the rounds, is of the opinion that will make one of the suburban official "plums" to follow the efforts to faithful followers of the fortunes of the administration. With the international administration we wish that the administration will hand the administration leaders will turn their attention to home matters and see to it that the colored brother, so patiently awaiting the need to the conviction that he references with national forces like Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana, as well as others high in Washington official stood to the conviction that this important matter. If the available positions are indicated by anyone in authority, the Bishop is confident that he will be the right men for the places. The vacant Recordship of Deeds, the practically vacant Liberian mission, the mission of the American mission, Bishop thinks a same-colored man would fit in better than a representative of any other race, are prime topiaries of deliberation in this connection. A variety of the departmental service and in the departmental service throughout the country are being studied in a view of bringing workable suggestions to the attention of the President. Shallow Walters is anxious for the resolution of as many colored Wilsonites as possible, particularly interested in the success this time of his old friend and faithful supporter, Mr. A. E. Manning, of Indianapolis, and season and out of season and always adequate reward. Mr. Manning is well aware of the endorsement Democratic committee and support of Senators Kern and Shivey, and the Hon. Thomas Kermagt, of Indianapolis, as the endorsement of the leading Negro candidate, not draw party lines on a useful matter. In view of the fact that the Liberian mission, the surrender of by the Indianese delegation is taken to meet that they will be allowed to select a candidate from Indianized colored man they may this being the case, the chances provided for seem to be exceptionally bright. Shannon Walters is looking far into 1914. Noting the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the grand-rather clause, with Chief Justice White standing sponsor for the best sentiment of the South, the Zion replica of Brutus, sees a silver lining to the clouds of today and is girding up his lotions anew to the challenges of the definite announcement which he will give to the public anent the large issues the Negro and other Americans are facing in the campaign. The Bishop is enjoying the best of health and is never so hardened for his people, be it through church or state. He is glad the exposition at Chicago proved to be a success, and the general prosperity shown by the immense throngs that have graced the various business, fraternal and religious gatherings at many points during the past. The Bishop Walters has sublime faith in the ability of the Negro to master the problems of the future. This faith is justified by the history of the past.

BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1915. A THOUGHT OF THE WEEK. A Local League in Action —A report from the Local Negro Business League of the State of Missouri, "The Local League here has increased its membership threefold and is enriched by the community for which it is ordained. The outlook to that end is very encouragement, as adopted is 'one thing at the time'. The present the task before us is that of Colored Hospital and Orphanage for Northwestern Missouri, organized and endowed. Of course there are many organizations from time to time as our League is becoming the clearing house for all ideas, programs, efforts of a social economic nature. September and August have gotten mixed in their dates. We hope that Bishop Connor will be able to prove that the charge of "white slaving" against him is without foundation. Dr. Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador, mixed it up a bit when explaining how it happened. Maybe he had a method in it. Ambassadors are generally very careful people. The Negroes charged with poisoning a mule at Starkesville, Mississippi, were lynched, but the mule lived on. Eating, drinking, and dancing were features at the fest de mort. O, you "heathings!" The Baptist at Chicago were in turmoil at the opening of the National convention. But they have the faculty of getting together. It is to be hoped that in the future that a court will not find it necessary to award the presidency. The Freeman's exposition number will be an effort to include the representative of the race, whether of men or affairs. It will come from the press during the holidays. It will be an addition to the festival of commemoration for achievements during the past fifty years of our existence as a freed people. It is being said that President Wilson may fill the posts at Hail, Liberia and the position of recorder of deeds at Washington, D. C., in one, two, three order with colored men in the very near future. He, for some reason, has been doing the political hesitation concerning these jobs for some time. Either something awful good or awful bad is going to happen. In event of something good, it will be difficult to work around our fellow townman, A. E. Manning, of the Indianapolis World. J. P. Goodrich, who has been conspicuous as a Republican in politics of the state for a number of years, has announced himself as a candidate for Governor. Mr. Goodrich has rendered great service to his party in the past having been the state chairman, a position which he filled satisfactorily to the Republicans throughout the state. In national politics he has also been a very useful factor. Personally Mr. Goodrich is agreeable and of a strong character. In a state-wide primary he would be very difficult to beat. His acquaintance with big affairs makes him a fitting individual for the office he seeks. Prof. Frederick Starr, of Chicago University, has been made a knight of the Order of Redemption of Ethiopia by the government of Liberia. It is said that this is the highest honor which Liberia can bestow because of his services in placing her in her true light before the world. We are not on to what the professor has done, but whatever it was he did not have the prosperity of that country at hearts any more than many of us of this country. Some of us have talked right out about that country, but all for its good. "Whom the Lord lord He chasteneth;" the same may be said the parent. The giving of the medal is not begrudged since that country also needs strong white friends. It simply put us in the reflective mood. NOT SO BAD. German diplomacy is becoming somewhat puzzling. Speaking of the Arabic happening that country said, The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant an indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic. If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German government would be prepared to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbitration. * * * In so doing it assumes, as a matter of course, the arbitral decision shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility of the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." It is very plain to see that the German government has its submarine warfare premises definitely outlined, and surprisingly different from what this country has has. The German HBV has the set of statements are aptly studied, and we may add, from the German view point, they are consistent enough and reconciliable with the somewhat peculiar situation. We take it that every word in the statements were thoughtfully placed. The German government will not acknowledge any obligation to grant an indemnity in the matter and so forth. It does not necessarily mean that that government would not stand for indemnity, if awarded by The Hague tribunal. It can very well mean that indemnity is not guaranteed—that it is not assured in advance, and that the thing of award must take its chances in the court. Seeing it from the German side that government may hold that the mistake of the commander of the submarine attacking the Arabic, or any mistake does not amount to a violated principle. The fact that the German government follows by agreeing to submit something to The Hague court for settlement it looks to us as if this was the question to be submitted, although it refuses to guarantee indemnity in advance of the court's decree, in permitting the question to go before the international court Germany does so in order to settle a point of international law. So far, it appears that there is no reason to complain of the German government's attitude unless we are mistaken in the import of the words. It will not bind itself in advance of the court; it concedes that there is a difference of opinion between the two governments. Differences of opinion on rules between governments make for international law. Germany agrees to submit the difference to the international court. The conclusion of the statements seems somewhat confusing. However, we view it, that, the German government will not consent that the archetype of the way afterwards its program of submarine warfare "the decision shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse under international law of German submarine warfare." Reviewing it briefly: The German government has its story of the right to attack the Arabic. The commander might have been mistaken as to the intent of the Arabic, whether it meant to escape or threatened the submarine. It is willing to arbitrate the question of indemnity as it amounted to a point of international law. It does not take a stand against indemnity but refuses to concense it. It will not permit the ruling of the court to have weight with its program of submarine warfare. And if that program of submarine warfare is as it is thought to be at this time it is fair enough in view of the fierce conflict in which that country is engaged. Our object in the foregoing is to help at putting a proper face on affairs in order to save from the affliction of war, or even unnecessary unpleasantness. Germany has much to contend with on the sea. It is pressed by England, consequently in the effort of fighting back irregular things will happen now and then. Hundreds of English boats have gone down; the awful fact should be considered in view of the very few which have given rise to the misunderstanding between the two countries. BABTIST CONVENTION IN TURMOIL. What happened in the National Baptist Convention at Chicago was not surprising to those who have followed up the doings of the conventions for the past few years. What the trouble is exactly is very difficult to guess. Perhaps no one thing has caused the spirit of dissension that was seen in the convention dived into two distinct camps as was noted at that city. All through the year there has been evidence of brewing trouble, and which seems to be profound. Rev. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark, has for many years the president of the convention which, virtually, is the supreme head of the Baptist church. This organization does not encourage the idea of supreme authority, although it finds it necessary to have some show of a head in the interest of its development and perpetuity. And, perhaps, this individual independence has worked against harmony, since each minister is a law unto himself in his church, taking orders from no man. In short, every Baptist preacher is a pope to all intents and purposes. He hows only to the will of the majority of his members, which means but very little by way of opposition unless charged with some very ugly offense. This spirit, which is a natural asset of man, being supported by principle and custom, makes for a one-man hierarchy so far as the individual church is concerned, and which is of doubtful good. This spirit is certainly not in the interest of a convention where there is the least despotism. We arrive at the point. Rev. Morris has been charged with being arbitrary in his position as president, a very czar, at times, according to the observation of some. This view of him may be due to the independence of ministers who refuse to see him anything more than a moderator, a necessary officer to preside at deliberations, and not to dictate policies, or to build up machines. The influence of a machine is easily detected if not the manipulators. Men who are used to the utmost liberty chafe under the binding of the "invisible" government, and to which they do not give consent, nor know. We are not urging that Rev. Morris has been anything more than the convention's president, governing by the constitution and by laws as laid down by that body. We are giving a hint of the observations, restriction and criticism which have been firing within the recent years. The great organizations, the largest body of Negroes in the world, will not take lessons from any one as to the principles. It has made the ground headway owing to the power presenting the substantial proofs of its power for good as well as the greater thing of preparation for heaven's citizenship. And because of this great good for the here and the hereafter, it is a pity to know that that church's best representation, and which means the race's best representation, has presented the world that ugly spectacle. That church will lose in influence unless it quickly returns to its ancient moorings, standing for peace emanation. The world gets much of its morals from the church—its good morals. It can not afford that the situation be reversed. THE ACCUSED MEN. M. A. Ryan, the attorney for the defense of Mayor Joseph E. Bell, and THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER others, charged with election irregularities, was extremely interesting when setting forward their side of the case, insisting that the arraignment was political persecution rather than something prompted out of pure love for clean politics. This sort of argument, of course, does not tend to lessen the guilt of individuals when guilty. Men in politics have a habit of doing irregular things, and which becomes so common that the fear of the law is scarcely dreamed of. Mr. Ryan cites facts of the kind showing that politics was not a Sunday school affair. His clients are no less guilty because of corruption at the polls, but he makes it appear that the prosecution is political and not for the love of purification. It is plain to see that the prosecution has the drop on the defense, because it is a very easy matter to collect evidence of wrong doing about the polls if one is intent on doing that kind of thing. Nor is the prosecution to be blamed for doing its duty even if the duty is done to Democrats. However, this duty can easily be construed as special, and because they be done are of an opposite party, it is not appropriate to impress to do our duty in upholding right we may as well come clean and speak of the motive and the rest of it as urged by the defense, and as we view it in the interest of the whole truth. There were wrongs committed at the polls, because men have already confessed that they were guilty of the charges. The prosecution has been victorious so far, but it is not content with the confessions of small men. Nor are we, if bigger men are guilty. However, we are not in for a siege of men in the sense that they just must be taken. We hope that the mayor of Indianapolis is not guilty of the charges against him. We hope that Thomas Taggart is not guilty of the charges against him. We hope that the other big and useful men are not guilty of the charges against them whether Democrats or Republicans. The one very ugly charge against the Democratic administration is that it was directly responsible for keeping voters from registering. Such an offense is too serious to think of excusing by classifying it with the customary offenses that are committed about the polls. Men who refuse others their rights of suffrage can offer no extenuating circumstances that justify the refusal. With this charge aside the trial now on could have happened immediately after every election in this community for years. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEGRO AUTHORS The National Association of Negro Authors is one of the latest developments of the race's civic life. The organization comes late as it should, since letters, like art, is the flowering of a nation. Some one has said art properly sets in at the beginning of decadence. The hard proposition will not be admitted at its face value, but it is, nevertheless, true, that leisure and wealth are the forerunners of culture in the best sense. The rule is beautifully exemplified by our own race, which has been struggling in pioneer style with the more engrossing things, those that usually beset a people at their beginning as a nation. The means of existence was the uppermost question for years. The question is still with us, yet no one can deny that we are easier in the efforts to live. The bread and butter phase of our existence has given away to one where there are prospects of ease and comfort, when the mind takes its natural course upwards. With the adornment of the person and home comes that of the mind, all being founded in the fact of progress beyond the limitations of pressing need. Since freedom there has been more or less done by way of literary production. It was more or less crude, reflecting the source and opportunity. Now and then there were high lights, the divine affaunt being no respecter of persons. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was hit with an arrow from "love's" quiver and he became at once one of the "anointed." Others previous to him made good. But at this day of prosperity when a comparative leisure class is emerging to the front, the flood gates are opening. Books, magazines, pamphlets, newspapers are being sent out attended with satisfactory marks of scholarship and culture. The producers of these may rightly be called authors. They are cudgeling their own brains, producing in a satisfactory way for the benefit of the race and mankind. August 27th and 28th a group of these individuals assembled at Chicago to compare notes, to help one another by exchange of opinions and to learn of the voice of experience in the interest of their own culture and the betterment of the race. We may say that the idealism of the organization is to transcend the race, to take part in the literary world unlabelled with class or race distinction. Genius is not tied down by color or race. Any other notion of it is unworthy. The organization has such an idea in view. The meeting at Chicago was not as largely representative as it could have been. Many persons who are eligible to membership found it impossible to respond to the call. Among those present were: Monroe N. Work, Hallie Q. Brown, Hiram H. Holland, R. T. Greener, W. H. A. Moore, William Pickens, Kelly Miller, Major John R. Lyman, and Wallace Rice. Dr. M. A. Majors, who managed this feature of the exposition, deserves credit for making it a success. There are a number of bright lights which could have added greatly to the program had it been possible for them to attend. Such persons as Alice Ruth Dunbar, Mary Church Terrell, Dr. Anna Cooper, R. W. Thompson and others yet would have given more impetus to the forward literary movement and journalistic impulse. OSKALOOSA, IOWA. Iowa and Nebraska Baptist Association Women's Home and Foreign Mission held at Davenport, Iowa, having four delegates, Rev. and M. Wattas, and Mrs. M. Wattas, and Mrs. M. Wattas, At the close Rev. and Mrs. Smith journeyed to Chicago to attend the Nation-wide convention, convened by the crowd attending the exercise, given on Sunday at Wesley Chapel M. E.

Dr. A. J. Cary for the Bishopric (Concluded from Page One) I asked him what he wanted it for and he said: "I am worried and cannot sleep at night, and I want to borrow some money to "What I learned from my teacher is to get his debts off his mind and onto mine, he couldn't see anything wrong about it. Want Minds Free. "This is too strikingly true of the theory of many of our young Negroes. The bear to bear to have anything on their minds." Dr. Washington said he was glad he was wrong about the things that a white man is unable to think that a white man is unable to "The principal thing," he said, "is that you be a gentleman to every man I meet." There was a great deal of cheering at this remark and many of the Ne-groes present expected a "race speech." Mr. George W. Waddy Here. Mr. George W.

The three are men who are able, practical and experienced, and graduated upon having such a splendid trio in his cabinet. The race can demand all occasions by such diplomatic, scholarly and astute men of affairs. The Andersen succeeding the Oscar De Priesterman of the Second Ward.

Hall, was shot Tuesday. It is stated the guard tried to get him back into his cell and he refused to go and tried to brain the suspect. He said: "If you don't go in that cell, I shoot you." Brooks replied: "Shoot and be damned," and he was killed on the spot. Harry Cusperst left the city Thursday. Thomas Lampkin Miss Gladys V.

AMERICAN GIANTS AND ST. LOUIS GIANTS IN FOUR-GAME SERIES. Break Even In First Two Games—Both Games Exciting—Chicago Used Four Pitchers in One Inning Sunday. (By Herbert T. Meadows.) The American Giants won one of the most exciting games ever seen here, Monday from Charlie Mills' St. Louis Giants. With 21 points, he is in the half of the seventh score to 9 on against them.

Foster used four pitchers in this inning. St. Louis counted nine hits and rallies over him, pass by the game sewed up, but the Chicagoans won out, in the ninth, making three runs on the field, then pass by a home run in the last inning was played in the dark.

With all new views, and exceptionally fine ones at that, good music to accompany them and special selection of the memorable number of excellent specialties, Manager Gibson made the past week one of the most interesting he has given. Salem Tutt Whitney's new play, *Bullion Abroad*, with forty people will hold the boards all week at this theater. The opening performances of new plays in the theater act the play later, but curtains seldom go up before twenty-five minutes to nine o'clock, and with long performances and the delays acts the play later, but curtains seldom go up before twenty-five minutes after eleven o'clock. A manager should see that performances begin by twenty minutes after eight o'clock and continue until twenty-five minutes after eleven o'clock or a few minutes later. No matter how good a new play may be, it gains nothing by being dragged dangerously near to the public, but the fault lies mainly with themselves. TIM MOORE TRIES MATRIMONY AGAIN.

NEWS OF GULFPORT (MISS.) AND VICINITY. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. A. B. JOSEPH CLARK, JR. Manager Ruby Theatre, Louville, Ky. Who Urges an Association of Managers. Joseph Clark, Jr., urges managers of colored theatres to form managers' associations the managers and a great help to the present conditions of the colored performers. For the last two or three weeks I notice that these performers disappointed managers of the theatres and it is mostly the headline acts or acts that are box office attractions that disappoint the managers. They are very heavy and the public is always up in arms to see them, therefore, when they disappoint a manager, they leave the managers and the public out of mind they don't once think about that; they are always looking out for their own interest and never thinking about the managers in nearly every case these acts never JOSEPH C Manager Ruby The notify them that they are not coming and look for them clean up until your show is over and in most casts the house is stained. If you situate another act, consequently the show is weak, the audience is not satisfied, and the manager is blamed for advertising something else. If things cause so many colored theatres to go to the wall. Now if the managers would get together and organize an association, they would have to book if an act was booked at a certain house for a certain week, no other manager would be allowed to play said act that would have to be booked through illness or some unforeseen cause, then that act would have to send in a certain act, the other managers.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE COLORED SHOW BUSINESS. What's the matter with the colored show business? This question is being asked every day by the performer and manager as well. First, I will say the would be suspended for so many weeks or dismissed from the circuit. Another metto of mine is if a manager books an act for the week's engagement. This act on that date, he should give said act as least four days' notice or pay act for the week's engagement. This act should also actor some protection. Another thing I believe in and that is play all recognized acts and should a manager play an act that act should be kept off of the circuit, and this would give more of the real performers work who depend on the business and not in it to get travel over the country at the manager's expense. We could then have a standard salary they could pay the different acts and we would not in it to get traveling to their ability. We could also book in conjunction with the Consolidated, the S. H. Dudley and Morganstein booing agencies. We could also organize to bring to organize the association to send their names to the Freeman, which Mr. Knox will publish each week. If we do so, we are going to have and there will be no more worry and disappointments. Last week I had the Chicago Follies.

The team will work the greater part of the summer, and September will see every one of the big fellows hard at it. In the past, the team has been Princeton and Pennsylvania are establishing new coaching systems this year, the former going from committee support to coach, and the latter taking the final authority from the individual and placing it in the hands of a committee. The former coach each carry the former systems, the latter under Haughton and the latter under Hinckey. Harvard loses Brickley, the former coach, but has a tower of strength in Captain Mahan. Yale will lose correspondingly but has in her freshman year, but has any colleges. Princeton will try the men who made such a startling finish against Yale last year, while Penn, too, had some men who will be given a The season in the Middle West will open with the greatest interest of relegation in 1914 Illinois, under Coach Zuppke, first came to its own by winning the conference championship. This has a great stimulus to the team, and at last it will put Williams, coach of Minnesota, and Stagge, coach of Minnesota, and depose of this new claimant for honors. Wisconsin, which had a very strong line last year, but, a rather weak team, will triumph which will be brought to the front by Illinois success. Then, State University, football show, with State University, football show, under Jesse Hawley, of Dartmouth, promises, when combined with the necessary "punch," to make this team a memoir to others in the conference. Smith, the old Penn State player, is also working with the team, and Two Yale men, Childs at Indiana, and Red Murphy at Northwestern, are also going up from the bottom and laying for the team to speak well for their teams this season. Outside the conference, Nebraska, in Coach Stitch, the former Wisconsin coach, did not meet Illinois, the conference champion, in great power, particularly in stretching and guarding him, by their backfield, and the all-around work of Captain Halligan at tackle, in the All-American team of the wrist, to make them the peer of any team in the league they promise to keep that prominence another season. In one which cast such a score into Eastern rinks in 1913 by defense and the Army, were sufficiently reacted by both these teams in 1914 to win. We most careful preparation. Moreover, we most careful preparation. Yale's new style of play before it had been exposed to the general football and consequently were snowed under it. But they will be heard from in 1915. The Michigan Aggie, too, under Michigan of Pennsylvania, will be a factor in the Yost, but not only a number of their best men last year, but in Maulman's star of the first magnitude, who will win the tittups of last year, when he showed that even the Harvard defense could hold him. We would and Jefferson, the stars of last season, will, under Fowlwell. threaten the leaders in the East again, and not far behind will be Rutgers, under Sanford. The game between the two teams will be the metropolitan enthusiasm. Pittsburgh will be another contender for honors in the East. Fouth, South, Virginia, and Tennessee, with star teams of last season, are eager looking forward to further triumphs this year, and in the southwest Texas means to hold the position which they have so well earned. Out on the Pacific slope there are three teams—Rutgers, the ball—southern California and the Pacific northwest. In the former section Occidental Pomona and the University of Arizona, the team abandoned Rugby and come back to the American game) all developed splendid talent last season, and there is excellent coaching talent out there he heard from in Pipal, Glaze and Stanton. In the northwest Coach Doble has played in all of the games of Washington teams with championship form for several years, but Coach Stewart and his Oregon agricultural team have won the first game this last year, although latter defeated. Beyek, the old Chicago player is coaching him at Washington State. Hahn is at Whitman and Griffith at Idaho, so some fine developments may be possible. Copyright, 1916, by O. F. Wood.

WORRY OVER MISTAKES SENDS MANY PLAYERS TO BUSHES. NEW YORK, September 6 — The great athletes always look ahead. Those who look back generally go back to the past. "You haven't been hitting as hard this year as before, Honus," I said to Wagner the last time the Pittsburgh Panthers played Polo grounds. "Does it worry you?" "I'll get my blow from here on, You watch me," he replied. "And you haven't earned in some bad games from the box." "I'll win one in this series," was my answer. "My arm is right now, and you haven't worried about it." To look back at a bad record means worrying, and both Wagner and I would have had lots of it to do this. "You haven't worried about it," a slant over our showings, especially mine. But worry over the mistakes of the past has sent many a man to Wagner. "You haven't worried about a fresh day. It isn't what you did a month ago that counts when you are out there working today. It is what you missed." The fans have forgotten a month ago. Here is the story of a young fellow who joined the Giants in the spring of 2001, and was many a busher. This boy came up with a lot of stuff and considerable confidence. McGraw figure on him told him that he pitched him nursed him along until he thought he saw a "spot" to drop him into the game for his first pitch. When he mounted the mound and everything went along all right with the kid pitching smoothly, he busted one on the route. This blow didn't make any difference in the ultimate outcome because there was no pitcher to bust one for the route. This blow didn't make any difference in the ultimate outcome because there was no pitcher to bust one for the pitcher had stuck the ball just "You mustn't mind it," I told him. "I must." He kept thinking of it and worrying, he answered. "I'm afraid I'm not making good." He had had great natural stuff, but he went worse every time he started. He did not figure the mistakes out, but he knew the box, but kept thinking of the mistakes he had made before and worrying over them with each fresh start. He didn't know how to use his head and his stuff. Pittsburgh, came into the league as fresh as any guy ever to break loose in fast company. He showed what he was made of. He never looked back—always ahead. As a youngster in the game, he naturally all recalls, he had much to learn. But he did not fret about where he had failed. Instead, he came back with: "Well, they broke a little tough for today, they broke a little tough for today, they supported a sleeve. I'll get them next time if I have to fan out every batter to do it. It looked easy today with those boots behind me." Vloux came to the Pirates full of the same sort of confidence—fresh, good, their thirst until it good. They threw Shafer once of the Giants, had this supreme self-confidence, himself, but he lacked the ambition. He never worried about the game, but neither did he toss around nights over the showing he should make tomorrow. The player didn't have a nickel, he would be the greatest ball player in the world." Larry Doyle often declared about the young third baseman. "I wish he hadn't a nickel except what he made so he would worry over his Fred Snodgrass, Shafer's boon companion and college mate, was just the opposite of what he had done in the past and fearing the fans were going to ride him about it. Shafer once quit the team, but he was back in the center field, and he thought he was taking Snodgrass's job away from him. He was caught as he was about to leave, and the couple of emissarissi for McGraw who induced the volatile player to come back and have a talk with Mac. It was a mistake, and he caused he had arranged for his disappearing act in the middle of the season. Shafer finally consented to stay with Mac, and he had arranged where besides in center field so Snodgrass would be sure of his job Shafer is a natural infielder, and Mac had kept the center team to olope him in the hitting of one ball. He shuffled him to third base, and Herzog has not yet forgiven either Shafer or McGraw. "I am glad," Herzog said not long after Graw flat without a third baseman. It served him right. I think it cost him a championship, and I hope so. "He who was always thinking of mistakes he had made in the past, and it hurt his work. A bad start for him generally means he can get him. The team who can get him out of this frame of mind, once in it, and he is Wilbert manager credit for making him a pitcher when he was coaching the manager credit for making him a pitcher when he was coaching the manager credit for making him during a season while Robinson was with the club, Robbie would step in and give Rubie a hypodermic of confidence with his salve, was the boy who could do this. Robbie was liable to go to Brooklyn and pitch the league off its feet and all the croakers will cry; "McGraw turned another star loose." I take it from me—Christy Mathewson. JACKIE MOORE OPENS UP TRAIN ING CAMP. Jackie Moore, Columbus, colored lightweight, has opened his fall campaign with three good matches. Moore meets the Murphy, of St. Louis, beats the 14th Murphy, of New Orleans, on the 21st, and Leo Johnson here on the 29th. Jackie also has been promised two good matches, and Louis. Moore is a real little fighting piece of machine. He always pleases the fan, win or lose, and is considered among experts as one of the best colorful players. Jackie is a fighter, but also can box some. Moore appears in great shape, weighing 129 pounds, boxing at 133 ringside, which is easy weight for him, and the best colored boys in the world. INDEPENDENCE, KANS. The entertainment started with the battle royal, in which Levi Holt, Herbert Parker, Marlon Jackson and Joe Mackin indulged in a three-round forall. Next Isen Chandler and Winifred Knox put on a three-round bout in which Chandler seemed to be the fastest, and ended in a three-round Machring and Mart Rubarb put on a lively three-round bout in which Rubarb was the fastest. He couple more white boys by the name Filippo and Brazier entertained the audience with a live two-round punching match. The real match was between Stigal and KK. Wagner got eight and the eight-eight gloves, and neither was hurt, although Stigal was able to hit Wagner at will and knocked him down twice. Wagner got in one good kick on Stigal, but that stigal stuck him. Stigal was too fast for Wagner. PAYING UP FOR JACK JOHNSON CHICAGO.-Mrs. Joseph Ritter, who was formerly Miss Dina Baldwin, was appointed Miss Baldwin, win, who signed a $15,000 bond when Jack Johnson was brought before the Federal Court, and the Mafia act, will have to pay over the entire amount to the government. The bond which Johnson forfeited by leasing it to Mrs. Tina Johnson, win and Mrs. Tina Johnson, the fighter's mother. Investigation disclosed the fact that Mrs. Tina Johnson was decluded not hers. Baldwin later died from gas asphyxiation. Baldwin, left an estate of $22,000, the property was depleted. Yesterday the trustee of the Baldwin estate paid over $5,000 of the inheritance to the government on the bond. The property of property will be sold to pay the balance. MILITIA IS CALLED OUT TO STOP JACK DILLON. LIMA, O.-Five thousand persons, at least half of whom came from a distance, some as far as Illinois and others the Mudgett street baseball park September 6, before the time for the boxing bout between Jack Dillon, of Indianapolis and Thunderbird, to be called to come off. Company G, Second Regiment, Ohio National Guard, participated in the boxing match against the Hough, Sheriff Eley assumed the authority and gave subsequent orders to Colonel Albert Gale, who assembled the militia. The boxers nor of the militia, but of the grounds when the militia arrived. The match between Gilbert and Dillon was administered as a boxing match, held the supervision of the American Athletic Club, which was incorporated under the laws of the state. Sheriff Sherman Eley signed orders, which were given to Colonel Gale. The crowd withdrew peaceably. Ed W. Harter, promoter, through his attorneys, Warren McLaughlin and John McLaughlin, would be filed against Sheriff Eley's bondsmen in common pleas court for the assault. He would not attempt had been made to even stall a boxing exhibition when the militia wielded a heavyweight weight. Goodyear announced that he would also charges against Sheriff Sherman Eley for malfeasance in office immediately, and charges against Governor Willis. Safety Director Goodyear, Police Chief Beall and a squad of thirty police were on the scene. The mob did not threaten violence, but all Lima was wild with excitement. Three bouts were on the program for the afternoon. Jack Dillon was to fight the final, Tommy Dillon, of Indianapolis, and Chuck Wiggins, of Chicago, were to fight a ten-round semi-final, and the scheduled for a six-round preliminary. Indian Athlete Declares He Will Be a Big League Star. Jim Thorpe, the former Carleile Indian and great all-round athlete, seems to be having his troubles, no matter how he has been. Jim Thorpe joined the New York Giants one of the most munificent salaries, but scarcely had the redskin joined the team. He was the first to get on the bench, and there remained until Johnny McGraw was finally forced to farm him out to the Jersey City club. He was the first to get on the minor leaguers long to get on to the fact that Jim was easy for a curved ball, and to this end worked the Infield. He has never have learned is that the Skeeters have sent Thorpe to the Harrisburg (Pa.) club, where Thorpe will be given a chance to play. The redskin cannot go many steps lower in the national pastime, but in spite of all he comes back with the ultimatum that they will yet be taking hats off to him as a big league star. THE GIBBONS-McFARLAND FIGHT PRONOUNCED A DRAW. NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Mike Gibbons left for his St. Paul home today over $16,000 richer for his thirty minutes of work in the office. He attended Finland Saturday night. His share of the purse was $15,000, and added to that was $1,200 for moving picture rights. McNairland's take-down was $4,000 for work and about $1,200 for the pictures. William Joh, referee, gave it as his private opinion after the bout that the John expressed his opinion through a newspaper, and, while it is not in any way an official judgment, it shows the records are referee decisions permitted by the law governing boxing in this state. Around the resorts, where the sportsman regurgitated, many a voice was raised in denunciation of the affair. The gate attendance was 34,845. The promotors' share was $5,000. The sportsman in the world of sport did not hesitate to express their opinion that the fighters were not trying at any stage of the contest, but impossible to prove. In point of prestige Gibbons suffered far more than McFarland. If the team were really fighting to his best form Saturday he is the most overrated boxer in the business. Fighting. Fighting. Fighting.
