Segregation Ordinance Introduced Between White and Colored Residents. City Commissioners Will Decide Upon It—Night School Opened—Fall Trots Begin. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Pharmacy, 118 N. Broadway, Lexington, Ky.) The most disgraceful step, that of civilized citizenship drifting into barbarism, surrounded with religions, universities and all varieties of commerce, white man that conducts a grocery store at 227 Walton avenue, and whose building, Mr. Fred Lalagut, a white man property at 229 Walton avenue. He leased his property to Mr. Reuben Miller, a first-class colored man. Will recognize the property to a colored family. In a protest he gives reference to the segregation act of Louisville and Baltimore should have a segregation ordinance passed to effect the whole city of colored and white residents. Mr. Lugart, in the Lexington papers, frankly stated that he had rented the house in question to a Negro family. No law has been passed to prohibit people forbidding colored people living on any street, said Mr. Lugart, "and until such a law is passed I have a permit to house if I choose to do so." Sometimes ago a prominent citizen sold his property on Third street, near me, to a Negro, and they are living in the house now. He is in his property close to The opening of the night school Monday night at Russell school, which is being made easy through the day, and many of the older people who did not have an opportunity to attend school in the past, will be advantage of this golden opportunity for a learning offered by the board of education.

Leading Men of New York to Sit on Committee That Will Dedicate the Lincoln Colored People of Harlem—little more in Limelight. The new Lincoln Theatre will throw open its doors to the New York public room will be at a premium as Eugene Elmore, known throughout the country as "Frenchy," has done much to alleviate the sufferings of the country and they are preparing of show him how much they appreciate his work. Aside from his popularity with the lay people, Elmore has made many an act that is now winning favor and it is natual on their services when the theater opens. Already rumor has been current that Timothy and a host of other acts are awaiting Manager Elmores' call to come to New York. It is to "Frenchy's" credit that he ran the little Lincoln so successfully that now he can boast one of the best little equipped theatres in the country and a glance at what happens in the opening, when he was doing when he drew up his plans for this new house. Among the great host of people to charm the audience that Mrs. Elmore has opened, were some of the leading women of New York and at this writing we can state that Mrs. Elmore, a comedian, has deferred a trip to Boston to be present when the place opens on Thursday night. It is for popularity right off the reel, for it surprises any other theatre around here in completeness. And, too, one must not forget that the audience with all those whom he has been brought into contact and like most white managers catering to colored people, AMERICAN LIBERTY DOLLAR COMMERCIAL PRESTIGE AUSTRALIA EUROPE AFRICA SOUTH AMERICA tune and make it hard to be seen when wanted. The thinking colored man must not lose sight of the fact that this is an attraction's metropolis, for every theatre put up around here has been put up with white money. from the Latuyette down to the city, slowly fading from the memory of the people. All the theatres around here carry white money, but people will not be unduly influenced by any one of them. Where they are given their money's worth they are going as sentient as the colored people of New York and the opening of the New Lincoln will be the means of the colored brother getting the colored people of New York a little more. They say that competition is the life of business and if it is true we are certainly going to have some real hot competition in this same little old New York. NEWS OF YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO. Mr. W.

Now and then you will find a newspaper editor or a preacher who will answer a business prompt properly. Carita Dae and Charles Johnson—Johnson of Johnson and Dean fame—have "increased" great combination! Miss Abbie Mitchell, a mistress of felicitous statement and "on the level" always, did not leave a grease-spot of the folks who insisted on characterizing her as a "contract-jumper." "Pink" Morton has a theater at Attica and Morton that is "Pink's" right name—we one for middle figure in the politics of the state of Hoke Smith, Clark Howell and Henry Lincoln Johnson. They say J. Leuble Hill is to "come back" as a star attraction for the road. He is the manager, he has manager, let the "angel" his representative manage and let Hill produce—and you have an invincible lineup. The Elks, who are popularly supposed to be a "good-time" outfit, can demonstrate their parisons between the orderly character of their convention at Chicago and the riotous behavior of the National Baptist convention. Elks are but human. Sidney Woodward, regarded as one of the most accomplished singers, is not known of the language department of Atlanta University. During the vacation period he gave a number of recitals in various parts of the country. He is a tenor par excellence. Two organizations are needed at this time—one made up of the theatrical managers catering to colored patrons, the other composed of the performers. The tone of their profession. The parting of the ways for shortsighted managers and unreliable or incompetent players has come. The country sympathizes with Melville, the leader and president of the National Negro Press Association, who is in durance because of certain publications he has published in public weal. It is understood that he is in custody at Oklahoma City, or point in that state, held to answer questions in the libel. His speed release is expected. The country is watching with interest the offering that Miller and Lyles have in short time, in suburb of short time, Hogan Troy, Will Cooke, "Babe" Townsend, Allie Gillam, Fannie Wise, Anita, Bush and Johnny, who are to assist the "high lights" that are to assist the brilliant young comedians. The money has set a warm pace for the roost in Miller and Lyles have a chance to "cop" in the labor of filling the vacant Miller and Lyles head shows of the days of Hogan, Cole and Johnson and Williams and Walker. "Babe" Townsend asks in a recent issue of The New York News: "Why are there so many covered acts playing big roles here?" he highly intelligent answer to his own query. He indicates that the trouble is not so much in color as in the performance means failure to study and to adapt his work to the newest and best standards in whatever line he elects to play. He is illittable, be the artist a musician reader, singer, acrobat, comedian or whatnot, and the fittest survive in the competition. He stuff over and catch his audience will never want for work, big time or little time. This is the gist of "Babe" Townsend, who is a seasonable article and performer who will take the gentle hint this thinking producer throws out. A recent issue of the Cleveland (O.), Gazette, edited by that dashing Henry of Warreau of the race, Harry C. Smith, and Scribbler, formerly an occupant of a federal office here, and who is now doing something or other" on the television show in Ohio, Washington, Chicago, New York and elsewhere. Said the Gazette: ages and newspapers in Defender's, *Columbia Times* and who sometimes writes *Cleveland* and again last week and the week prior. Much that he writes is not true. When the editors of those papers tumble? "Washingtonians, familiar with the man who this shirty correspondent are asking to do so-called wise newspaper men" "fail the shirty-disguised machinations of this man." The matter is referred to The New York Age and the Chicago Defender for appropriate comment and fitting action. Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of The Crisis and man of affairs, is not as courteous nor as encouraging to assemble a group of people ought to be. A well known actor, who is also a literary genius, has written some poems that have been pronounced "fine" by critics and have been praised and exquisite taste. Some of the same poems were submitted to the Academy, but were not in any of them—so the story goes. He wrote the ambitious young versifier who called the vocabulary, was inadequate and that he was not a good shortcomings, advised him to read more, and acquire style, declaring that all of the poems submitted fell short of it. He promised to write a "bite," however. Other literati, not less learned than Prof. DuBois, had examined his productions, and that he was not a good shortcomings, told him in kindly spirit of his faults, admonishing him by no means to stop—that he possessed real genius. Thus the scribe felt good and made his inspiration to strive a little harder to desire the result. Prof. DuBois wrote books. He may be "long" on history and the "ologies," but, if this is a fair name for his method, dealing with suspense, he told folk to be "short" on ordinary "mother-wit" and has a lot to learn in the realm of tact and diplomacy. "Salve" will be written, and the dom will "fall down." This is something for savants to think about. The two-by-four correspondent from Philadelphia, who wrote he's anonymous, screened, designed to provoke trouble with the letter from Miss Lillian Brown, her new teammate, Miss Lillian Brown, fell for short of his mark and got off to a difficult job. In his main and effort was made to "boost Miss Brown by applying the hammer to Miss Green during a recent engagement of the Ph.D. and a visit of St. Paul's, and the Ph.D. Miss Brown was given lavish praise for her work—which she eminently deserved however—but Miss Green was not a good one. In the same way, while doing her best, she was not in the class with her partner and that she had been so good. The evidence was for the latter. The critic showed plainly that he "had it in" for Miss Gee and used this method of words to be seen when he had a note of courage and Brown are only openly Misses Gee and Brown are only only to be seen when he has been the best of friends and no mean "dissipation" to be seen when he has been the best of ousary between them—no invidious comparisons can mar the beauty of their free-climbing. She is both clever artists—top-notchers' in their respective lines and each appeals to a clientele discussion—and the only one made was good in her own peculiar style. In the own way, the department of either is in extremely bad taste, and the matter is not so much usually. Miss Gee felt aggrieved at this backhanded assault, and Miss Brown was pleased to help him, but thinly dismissed her effort. The chum and business associate, whose interests are bound to be one and the other. The company has a good value each other's talents and good qualities, and neither would lend any encouragement to a fool friend's or a man's good word. It was over the boost of one at the expense of the other. Misses Gee and Brown make the same side with them. ON THE BRINK.

Colored People of the Twin Cities Observed Half-Century Mark of Freedom from Slavery. A half century of freedom from slavery was celebrated September 22 in cities and vicinity with a parade, followed by a program of oratory and amusements at the fair grounds north of Urbana, execution of persons of the colored people were executed, their daily work to participate in the demonstration, and many of the white race joined in the day's proceedings as the first group of the colored people were decorated early in the day.

Jameson proceeded to crown the queen of the festival. Mrs. Jephtha Tisdal, who occupied the same automobile as the speaker and others. Miss Jephtha Tisdal, who occupied the other automobile, wearing purliec colors and a gold crown with a silver star, was introduced as the "Goddess President" when extended an invitation everybody to go out to the fair grounds for the afternoon events. He told of the various races which the team had won, and mentioned that Dr. C. B. Johnson, O. L. Davis and Congressman William B. McKinley were to make addresses. **Line of March Continued.** After this was attended to the line of race, the youth was taken up, Marshal Jordan Johnson and his aids leading. The band came next in the line, and then a huge float filled with girls represents the youth in the race, and the band manded by Col. A. R. Lee and led by a drum corps, were followed by decorated floats and a number of automobiles and other conveyances. Speakers and Various Amusements. The program of speaking was opened by Mr. Gordon Jackson, following his address Mrs. Hattie read the emancipation proclamation, and Hon. W. B. McKinley was introduced to speak in behalf of the citizens of the Negro community, interesting document, a bill of sale, in which several Negroes were included with oxen, tobacco and other chattels in an auction, complete with the apes. Both races showed great speed for amateurs. A one-mile bicycle race was won on the race course and the 100-yard free-for-all race. There was a track meet between a team of five young men under the leadership of Mr. Gordon Jackson. A young men under the leadership of Mr. Gordon Jackson. Mr. G. Penny's team defeated Mr. G.

Four and a half innings were played by the Bloomer Girls' baseball team against the Chicago Cubs in a team-line in the city defeating the boys. Colored Business Places Close. Most of the colored business places were closed and there were but few men found on the field. In all the colored students were excused from the public schools of Champaign, also Champaign, and they were allowed to say that there were some parties who were so ignorant as not to realize the value of the half century marathon race, did not appreciate the holiday enough to stay away from the schools and various other places and jobs, and did not give race, should be wide wide.

Our country and Germany have gotten together on the Arabic happening. Next! Riley week is proving all that could be expected in the interest of the poet who has universal recognition. O, yes, we can clear up the Frederick Douglass home in a jiffy, if we can get the mind to do it. We don't seem to care to get the mind. 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. The darkest hour is just before the dawn, some one has long since said. It may be that way concerning the European mixup whose hour cannot get much darker than it is at this time. Roumania, Greece and Bulgaria are on the verge of joining the fray, which means for the better, or worse. According to the saying it ought to mean for the better. "The Birth of a Nation" picture play got a black eye in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love is set down as being rather slow in most things. As our people are concerned it is considered a sort of Nazareth. Just the same, it has shown more than once that it can do things when it is sufficiently aroused. Not long since the Negroes of that city wrecked the front of the playhouse where the "Birth of a Nation" was being produced. They made such a demonstration that the authorities had to order the managers to take the play off. Score one for the so-called sleepy city. An old French saying is, "Man proposes but God disposes." When thinking of those persistent Panama slides one has such thoughts forced on him. Here is a gigantic work, and which reasonably could be called one of the wonders of the world, and yet now and then its great object is checked by a mealy slide on the floor. The last slide, which was a few days ago, seemed to have been malignant, filling the channel up so completely that the dirt is visible. It is thought the debris will be removed by November 1. The layman, naturally enough, thinks that it ought not to be a difficult matter to hold back the earth, but it is very apparent that the engineers are satisfied that they have a mean problem with which to deal. The Louisville Times says that if the plans of the directorate of the Kentucky Negro Exposition mature the big show to be held in Louisville next year, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the freedom of the American Negro, will be the largest and most instructive exposition of its kind ever held in the United States. This is saying considerable in view of the big success of the Chicago Exposition. However, it is possible to have a greater exhibition than has heretofore been given. The managers of the proposed Kentucky affair have their work well under way, and according to the outline it will be a very great demonstration. Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio will be asked to take care of the best pro hero devar will be solicited, Muscle, in which the race compares so favorably with the best in the world, will be a feature. A grand opus with one of the characteristic folk lore song as a motif, perhaps, "Swing Low Sweet Charlot" is an expected feature. In other ways the event is to be made especially meritorious. THE LEO FRANK PLAY. [Owing to an unusual demand the following editorial, which appeared in the issue of last week is reproduced.] This week one of the play houses presents a dramatized version of the now famous case of Leo Frank of Atlanta, Ga. On seeing the announcement, "The Sacrifice," one would be led to suspect that he would see something different from what the company of players present. The audience, last Monday afternoon, at the opening, was not large, but, perhaps, as large as they usually are at matinees. From several viewpoints the occasion was an opportunity, and especially so since the play was so beautifully balanced. Either side, if we may so state it, found it possible to extract some satisfaction. There was a hushed air over all, even including the ticket sellers, the ticket takers, and the attendants in general. The audience behaved as if it were at a funeral—almost oppressively quiet—ominously quiet. Now and then were aplause, always coming at the conclusion of some forceful presentation of the Frank side; not so much for Frank per se as for the sentiment of justice for men in general. It was plain, however, that these were his friends, a goodly number of whom were Jewish people. The dramatization, of course, is in the interest of the unfortunate man. It is colored at times to heighten the effect, then again it clings to the line of facts or alleged facts as they were learned from the newspapers. Much of the tragic which occurred in the real happenings was happily sheared, and thus there was a most beautiful representation of a supposed wrong man contending heroically for justice. If the state gets a chance to create favorable sentiment it is through the determined effort to have Frank pay the penalty of the crime with which he was charged. The state appeared a nemesis, following, persistently following, as a hound its "prey," unmindful of every influence. The officers in the play, as those of the happening, seemed to be thoroughly convinced that they were right. The two forces locked horns on the stage as they did in real life, the advantage, however, as seen on the surface was with Frank, and, of course, in the interest of the success of the play, and perhaps, in the interest of an effort to free the man's memory of the awful charge. The performer who took the part of the wife moved the audience as the real brave little woman who fought so largely her husband's battles. Fiction rarely affords an opportunity for such display of wifely devotion. Here was no necessity for the spectacular; stage settings and accessories were not of much assistance; they would have hampered the play. Plainness and directness ruled from the beginning to the end. Amid this the little lady fought stubbornly and brilliantly. She had her alternate hopes and doubts as she fought her way up the courts. She had her victories and losses, giving way to her womanhood at times when the load became unreable when the simulated shriek迪迪迪 curry curry迪迪迪 real Mrs. Frank could give no more evidence of grief. She had her joy places—comparatively joy—the difference between extreme hope and almost despair. No word she uttered was lost. Her rare voice, her beautiful inflection and her understanding of the case made for a most interesting presentation. The performer taking the part of Frank was well chosen. He had a fine, full voice, influenced somewhat by the nasal, making for a touching agreeableness in tone, and which was well modulated. He made his impression by his love for wife and family, his deep avowals of innocence and his subline resignation to what the gods had in reserve for him. The fervent love clasps were as benedictions, an inspiration for actual life—no man smiled. Had he been the real Leo Frank pleading at the world's bar, meeting every man face to face, Mary Phagin would have been forgotten. The prisoners were happily chosen, especially the ones and such a stormy session with the wife and her friends, the Jewish and Protestant ministers. The Jewish minister, like his race, was gifted with the speech of music. The Protestant stood for the zeal, not unlike that read about anent the early Christian martyrs. He bearded the lion in his den and was unafraid. Nothing of stage professionalism was noted in the principals. The mayor would have passed as such in the best of communities. The sheriff, who was touched for the once, backing down from his own orders, was like many another seen in real life. The prison scene tamed the horror of the place under the spell of love's dominion. The little woman made its shame ashamed to assert itself. No heaven were so sweet as this, is the thought she enforced. The whole presentation was worthy; nothing of importance it must be the fact of a movement to set Frank right in eyes of the world. The audience, as we viewed it, came away without concerning the murder of Mary Phagin. It came away, however, with increased respect for the wounded wife, with but a doubt yet fixed as to who did the deed. THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS HOME AGAIN. In spite of the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington, a year or two ago, led an effort to raise $4,000 to cancel the mortgage on Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D. C., Frederick Douglass' home, left to the race by his wife (white), when she died some years ago, the mortgage still stands against the property. And Douglass, the greatest Afro-American! This is a sad commentary on this race of ours.-The Cleveland Gazette. To refer to the effort to raise the money to pay off the indebtedness on the Frederick Douglass home is like opening an old wound. There is something radically wrong somewhere, and so mysterious, it appears to us, that it cannot be located. More than once this publication, reckoning with its large and wide circulation, has made an effort to help those who had the matter in charge. We succeeded only in causing a little short-lived furry. The promoters of the effort to save the poor seemed to be in a different manner that they appeared visionary. We have in mind the committee with headquarters at Washington, D. C., according to circular letters seen now and then. We thought it a shame that the small sum of $4,000 prevented the home from becoming what the association would have it be—a memorial hall to the memory of the great Negro statesman and emancipator, consequently we essayed forth in the matter thoroughly as courageous and helped as Don Quixote, on his mission of liberating the slaves but our sorrow as that valiant but misguided Knight, that "nothing was doing what we were thinking about." Then, to, we got a tip that we were not in the right business when solicit- ing funds, intimating that something was rotten in Denmark. Our already appointed suspicion are now confirmed that something was wrong—very wrong when ten million people who are in the most part prodigal in money affairs, refuse to do such an honor to the concededly great man and leader, when cost was so small. Crandall Metz and McCarty played the best ball for the All-Stars, while the fielding of DeMoss and Allen and the hitting of Charleston featured the A. B. Cs as a pitcher by taking the mound for the A. B. Cs in the sixth and not allowing a hit.

Toler, our captain, will stick to the laughs heartily, but will pull off the little palm in a jumper, still stick to the There seems to have been a conspiracy of silence, and if there were, it is as "effective" as ever. More harm is being done to the memory of Mr. Douglass by the weak study of trying to honor him than if the whole business was coldly dismissed. As matters now stand the memory of the great man has the appearance of being on the rack—tortured and torn. And it may be that there's method in it all. In spite of the conspiracy of silence it has been said that Mr. Douglass' second marital venture has not been forgiven by some who exercise the power of the man in the city of the races. It may be that he is paying the "penalty." It has been said also, that the relations of the second wife were claimants of the property, and that the $4,000 indebtedness was the greater reason why the claim was not pressed. Neither of the assertions carry with it a sense of dishonor; however, they would greatly inconvenience the association if they were true. The first assertion could mean that there was a determined opposition by those of influence and wealth to impede the progress of the movement. The second assertion, declaring the probable action of the second wife's relations, could only mean a temporary embarrassment in that sufficient funds could be raised to satisfy the relations. However, the fact that the agricultural business we insist that there's a screw loose somewhere, or else our race can be successfully assailed concerning such matters as the most indifferent species of the human family.

Meadows.) The Russell-Owens Company is duplicating their first success with another big hit in St. Louis this week. The current production is in two parts. The first is an oilo of vaudeville numbers opening up by the company. Tommy Parker as Dr. Killemquick and the subsequent happenings in his office with Babys Mack, Russell and Owens is a big scream. The comedy skit, "Going to the Ball," by Russell and the Freemans is another com- The Langster brothers close the oilo hit two taxoscopions numbers and a vocal duet. The second part is the "Dope Fiend's Dream." Its scene is laid in a hop joint in the same way as the other place becomes defected over the faithlessness of her lover and takes the pipe to drown her sorrows. In her dream she sees him try to ruin a green country girl and the interferes, swearing to die in an effort to make the process of the work up to a thrilling climax in which a fight draws several shots from the girl's father, who is attracted to the place by her cries. The horror of all causes the so-called "scorces"�, attract the other inmates who walk in her. Then she takes her story.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER BILLY KING'S PLAYERS AT THE GRAND—BOJANGLES MAKES A HIT. Bill Robinson, formerly of Cooper & Robinson, better known as Bojangles, was the subject of much discussion as a humorous show. He was a member of the school of school music, whose appearance last Monday night met with a complete success, especially his whimpering wheezes on "Old Town" in the White House. "The White acts were," "The Office Girls," which introduced two talented actresses, especially the bancer, and were so humiliated, different from the other, and who in drollery and the other a merry boy who danced cleverly, and the act took well. The "Theoodors" and the "Theodors" were so much as a fact and witicism, pleased. "Hearts of Men," a comedy-drama in one act and two scenes, bordered as much as in the main, and was an assimulation of classification in construction. Billy King, as the coward outlaw, in adherence to comedy in the same way, was a well-known and in accordance with comedy-drama and his lines were read with too much rapidity. The possible index of the work of the new, in this class of drama, which should have been invisible, wherein Gertrude Saunders, a fair actress, was the most popular show of her father, was a reduction. Hattie McIntosh was capable and all that could be desired as the leader of our country. The "Theodors" was an excellent ranchman, fitted by nature: Billy De Mont, a blackface handy fellow, give legitimate humor. Seed and the man, the man who never was good and Bessie Brown as the hag, did well. Archie Jones disguised as a Mexican, and was the first place for D. W. Liberati. "I'll play for a good." Overstreet as the father, was as possible unreal and uncertain as the play and finish. The "Theodors" of the show was the same as the expert jugglers. Palmer, Cole & Gordon were three young kids who sang very well, especially the "Theodors" and the "Theodors" "the sisters were with us again, etc." Derby Day, a race course comedy, was one of the two best-called "the story" and was met in race track scenes, and was well presented in every particular. The "Theodors" were so well-coloured and gave a full measure of a pop-cowards gave a full-star in comedy as two different types in blackface. Jerry and his own "Theodors" were always always on the stage of the race, and a straight-on the-hour of ruin, gave a qualified. Hattie McIntosh was working to the same form, and he was more and more a stunning costume and looked and acted the part cleverly. Howard Kelly was only fair as a title-taker, and the money he gave to the lover and jockey winner. Bessie Brown, as a woman of nerve, was dramatically strong. "I have a Liston sang a good song," and "I'll play for a good." "I'll play for a good." "I'll play for a good." Miss Kelly was fair in boy character and Miss Saunders did well. THE PICTURE HOUSES.

KIBBLE AND MARTIN'S UNCLE TOM'S CABIN At the Lyceum Theatre, Indianapolis oils company Quartet Quartet Singers a Feature. Uncle Tom's Cabin shows are the most fixed productions known to the American stage. They are as classics in literature, the older individuals go on to read an old poem; old but of peculiar beauty and worth. Only the very young, in these days, go to see that play, which is to which it is contingent, in the senses it is not forgotten. It sticks to one closer than a brother. Little children can give every act and speak of them intelligently after seeing the play for the first time. The teacher, Legrese, Miss Ophelia and Marks at once seem to be incorporated as part of one's knowledge for all time. They are referred to as the usage of household words. Mothers take their children to see Eva, the child whose life is a poem. It is a shame, it is sometimes thought, that Eva was the child of the story, found it necessary to sacrifice her. And yet were it not for this, much of the interest of the whole would be lost, the audience weeps for the loss of Eva, but the sorrow is of a rarer sort. Those personages are too exquisitely fine of soul to be permitted to linger amid mortals as the world knows most of the sorrow. At the end of those of beautiful souls, since these two showed clearly that heaven was their home. The fact is impressed on the audience, hence it is not outraged at the death of the two George Harris and Eliza are not readily forgotten, nor the good wholesouled children across the frozen Ohio. The St. Clairs are more remote, but the fact they were here is the key to their grouping and association of the individuals have helped in fixing this play so permanently. The children were all faithful to their parts, leaving nothing wanting in fixing and making vivid the various pictures of The quartet whose singing numbers were heard all through the play added greatly to the effectiveness of the vocal opening when Geo. Harris is planning to escape, singing that beautiful old melody, "In the Evading by the Moon," sung by the singers were costumed in well-fitting suits, led by Prince Luther R. Burke, and by the soprano voice, of seconde tenor variety. The first of the numbers was a splendid sentimental song. The harmony produced remained one of a cathedral or orchestra, and the productions were in keeping. The quartet was well-received. The other members are, Wm. Slaby, the bassist; Wm. Hussey, the bassist; the other colored members of the company are, Fred Finley, dancer; C. A. Jones, dancer and old man charm enveloped by the bassoon, champion buck and wing dancer. Later on, the quartet was heard behind the scenes. The rich voices of Negroes were a most fitting complement to this scene, the premonition trying ordale of the St. Clair household. The frolic of the slaves, a diversion, was the usual scene of the levee when dancing and horseback riding. It was another opportunity for the display of rich voices. The management has counted largely on colored members of the army to the benefit of its conception of the play. And they have measured up to their opportunity.

Martin & Motely's Co. just finished Family theater at Mahoney City, Pa., while to once several weeks of work, he encountered a commodated as the towns were white population and the hotel rates were severe. Are now at Pittsburgh, Pa., where his family lives, their home in the near future, Louisville, Ky. Will be booked through Consolidated Vaudeville Exchange. The Consolidated Vaudeville Exchange, Fisher, Pearl Roy, Rosetta Shanks, Rosa Motely, Samuel Johnson, Charles Zee, Zeedel, Uphill Hill, Robt. Perry, Etty Rose. Martin presenting his own original shows "Met in the Cabaret," "Last Night," and "Rong Mr. Bushon" and a western drama "Dangerous Pete" and there is no one doing these acts but those who see Martin and Motley do them. Why, say, what is Martin doing to many performers will work with you and learn your shows and go in ahead of them. If you do the shows after some one else produces them. Just like a song. You can take nine people out of ten, can write it. I worked nineteen weeks for S. H. Dudley and he himself gave me new and different to my shows being new and different to him. He knows that he knows more about shows than I will know. He was Kentucky, because I am young fellow and if everybody would try to originate like I do the show business there is a colored box guess. And if there is a colored box guess, but today can ever say I copied his act from him and tell the truth, I would easily satisfied for him to let it be known. Chas. Wickerson, a good comedian and actor, was with my show, had two songs of his own that were a riot. Any one could make good with them. Just the one he wrote. He was big and I know both of the songs and I am compelled to know them for he was a comedian. He has been too much of a man to use his songs, as I know that is his living, and he is more cautious. He will know what I mean. Yours truly, Edgar Martin. PARK THEATRE AND PARK LAWN DALLAS, TEXAS. The S. R. O. sign was out all week. The bill was a knockout. The Two Cousins opened here Monday night and were a riot. Little Jimmie Cox, in the impersonation of Charlie Chaplin, which is a winner, as he does some of the real Chaplin stunts. He made the audience laugh as if it was the real Chaplin in pictures. Little Jimmie has been given performances among the white citizens of Dallas, being the world's greatest colored Charlie Chaplin. This is what one of the leading white papers said about him: Did you ever see a Negro Charles Chaplin? Well, there is one in Dallas. He plays with a local Negro theatrical troupe which caters to Negro patronage. The "Negro Charlie" appeared on the streets Monday afternoon at the head of a parade of his company. He had the make-up and mannerisms of the famous film comedian Down Pat, when the choir enoustached. The black tector made the crowds laugh just as the real Chaplin does. Daily Times-Herald, Dallas, Texas. Little Jimmie is the first colored actor that ever came to Dallas and got the credit of doing something from the rest among the white citizens of Dallas. He will be the one he will live and have success in the business at top salary as King & Bailey did in their day. Little Bill Zeek did a very comical stunt as the police officer who was killed where I was born and his eccentric dances. These two boys are clever. Sam Russell, the Texas favorite, is still holding his own, scoring them in the first half and putting things but in come out on the stage and say "My Lord, nuf done; what did he say that for?" He holds them for a minute, then scores nightly.

Sunday, September 12, was spent in Salt Lake City, Utah, and most of the time was spent at the Railroad Men and Walters Club, under the management of Ed R. Haffield and Charles Hafffield, which is one of the best equipped organizations of its kind in the West. Anything can be had this excellent establishment. Mrs. Mary Ballard has the cafe, where meals way above the average can be had at the right prices. The Gun Club, with Manzie Campbell president, is getting raised to invade Kansas, and like Blackrabbits are plentiful for the Bil-falo Bill, furnish buffaloes for the builders of the Union Pacific. The club has contracted to furnish rabbits for the show. If they make good, we'll call the president Jack Rabbit Manzie. David D. Smith, the Samovan Kid, is putting over the new song "Why Not.

C Judging from the number of persons who speak with me upon the subject, I am sure they are fully two-thirds of the people not in show business feel that they are in some way or manner specially fitted or trained. If they are there are who really feel they are doing we theplans a favor by not entering upon a stage career and by so doing robbing us of our hard won honors. Doubless there are many persons in other walks of life who would have been able to play the piano entertaining stances so willled it. But because one can sing well, dance cleverly, recite intelligently or play the piano entertaining stances so willled it. But because one is fitted for a life upon the stage. I have met some really clever performers who were in a measure successful, but I have not met the business, always longing for the day to come that would allow them to enter some other field than the show. If they are one must have a great love for one's work, one must be willing to undergo hardships and make sacrifices. One must be sure that one is in the right way. When a boy or girl joins my show I first look at their personal appearance. If such boy or girl is near and the man now will be more, he'll protect and kept in good condition. When rehearsals are called I watch to see how much interest is displayed by the beginners, they are prompt at rehearsals if they are not present be-ing criticised or asked to try a thing again and again. I know there is an excellent chance for such persons to do their own good. Last day, the girl never makes a good performer. Disposition plays a great part. A cranky quick-tempered boy or girl generally themselves make their suitable form. I think the life is not a safe investment, they are never in proper condition to render efficient service. The health of the� is always hard to handle; such a one resents the gestions or criticism from manager or a mistake and is always angered if their word upon any subject is not acclaimed the final law admitting no arbitration. The disorganizer is a menace to any company. The disorganizer is generally a "has-been" or a disgruntled person. The disorganizer is a man and a "has-been" or a case of seeing others attain success. The liar and tale-bearer should be dismissed as soon as discovered. The shielket is not only the way but has a tendency to others of the same type. When I see a boy or girl measuring the quantity and quality of their work by the number of toys they know that boy or girl will never pass mediocrity. It is the ambitious, intelligent boy who is always to their best and all circumstances who is destined to reach the top and hold that eminence after it. We perform lifelong a nomadic life, denied the comforts of home and aside from a few intimate friends, the assoc- tion of people of the towns in which we play, the judge a town and its people by the treatment accorded us by the persons with whom we live while playing that Just why some people keep boarding houses for the accommodation of showguests at the mall, treat us as intruders, give us to understand by their treatment that if there was anything else to be done in the house, we would leave it, aside from keeping us, they would do it. The meals are served in sullen silence, the meals placed upon the table in the room, the meals is no homelike comfortable atmosphere about the rooms and the attitude of the people who take our money is one of cranky, exacting and quarrelsome, but no more so than people of other professions, then our work is trying on us, and annoy us. A cheerful room, good wholesome meals served with a cheerful smile generally serves to transform us from a showguest to a guest. Removed from the rest of humanity. Like tramps, we generally pass the word along the line as to where the good stopping places may be found, and I am glued to say the good stopping places are performed by performers as a whole are notoriously improvident. People in the DONT'S FOR SHOW FOLKS IN GENERAL. (By Uncle Joe Golphin.) Don't advertise anything but what you are capable of doing. Don't think your act is the best in the business. There are others. Don't think you are the whole show. There are others on the bill or in the cast. Don't do your brother performer, but do unto him as you would have him do unto you. Don't try to be everything in the show business. Do one thing well and you'll get 'em. Don't tell the public and managers what you have done. Let them judge for themselves. Do something new. Don't push your brother performer over, simply because he is falling. Try to lift up or catch him before he falls. Don't try to manage. Do straight. Be the comedian and character artist, too. Give some one else something to do. Little drops of common sense and a little mother wit will make you do some studying and you are bound to make a hit. Take heed to the above and get yourself together. Join a stock company for this winter and be prepared to meet the weather. Don't make yourself conspicuous by appearing on the stage a hundred nights before you only appear once and do something. Don't let success swell your head. Let it swell your pocketbook. Your wallet and spill success, but should your pocket book burst with coin, who cares GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THE ATER, PHILADELPHIA. Your correspondent dropped into John T. Gibson's handsome furnished office on Thursday and found him in the lobby. When I bounced the New Standard theater, I felt that there was a field and a room where I could devilate at popular prices. Some of my friends advised me against such a venture, but this did not shake my confidence. I was pleased since the opening house in house there has never been a time when I have regretted investing my money. At the Gibson theater is regarded in the theatrical world as the best house in the countryside, but its devilish nature is it only be ideifiable and earnest endeavor that such a result has been achieved and it is a result that the rooms are so thoroughly appreciated by a rather exacting public. I have looked after the comfort of the performers and the rooms are comfortable and everything about the stage is done to make them comfortable and study their the pink of condition all the time, and I allow nothing to deteriorate. The employee are manely and polite. The rooms are comfortable and study their wants. I think I can say without appearing the problem, at least the attendance solve the Gibson's New Standard theater would towns expect and encourage us to spend our money and we seldom disappoint them, consequently the end of the summer season generally finds us to be more relevant to some of us without a cent to defray the expense. The managers of a show are not obligated to pay the expense of performers during rehearsals, although they generally pay them, a who we're more so as boardhouse must stress like Mrs. Charleston, 1512, Bainbridge street, Philadelphia, Pa., who is willing to board eighteen or twenty hungry boys and girls for three weeks, without asking for a rent of money, wait for a pony to sell the money and be used and they could pay her; who took a personal and a motherly interest in their welfare; who loaned them money that they might have some little pleasure while in the way; who who are not meals in the program; whose rooms were always clean; who gave them the freedom of the house that they might enjoy themselves and entertain their friends, it gives us genuine pleasure to the�. Long the line and recommend her to all performers playing Philadelphia. Mrs. Charleston is not only the genial mistress of a theatrical boarding house but she is the performers' personal friend and one may stop with her and enjoy all the comforts of a pleasant home. Others who have performed like service for members of companies with which have been associated are Mrs. Lillian Lewis, WE-US Hotel, Newport News, Va.; Mrs. Mattie Robinson, Grand Hotel, Hampton, Va.; Mrs. Baimough, 1928 6th St., Washington, D.C. and Mamie Fields, 404 Jessup St., White Island, Pa. The amounts over these persons has at times exceeded $200.00 but they have never failed to receive every cent due them. While with the Smart Set Company, no member is allowed to contract a board bill without paying if the same is brought to the notice of the managers of the company. John T. Gibson and Irvin C. Miller are advertising for fifty girls for the big show they expect to produce in the near future. The show will be written by Leigh Whipper, staged by Mr. Miller and managed by Clarence Logan. The name of the show or time of the opening has not been learned. The New Standard is being re-decorated with white and gold. Mr. Gibson has not spared time or money to make the Standard one of the prettishouses in Philadelphia. The Howard Theater, Washington, D. C., under the efficient management of the firm, turns them away nightly. Last week the bill was unusually strong, introducing S. H. Dudley, a perennial fan of Ramsey in a side-splitting sketch entitled "The New Doctor." Mr. Dudley owns and went through various tactics or "tictacs" as he called it, which convulsed the audience with laughter. In addition, he beatable, Mr. Ramsey sang a very pretty, number and was enthusiastically encored. The duo leaves for an extended tour of the West over the Pantagoras. . . . The Seminoles, father and son, half-breasted in the bodysuit, bill. Both play musical instruments with a high degree of skill. The boy proficiency with which he performs is truly wonderful. Lottie Grady, dainty, petite, vivacious and magnetic, in songs, dances and limitations, could not respond to the demands of the actress through lack of physical ability to do so. We are happy that Miss Grady's retirement was not permanent. Since the days of Overton Walker, the profession could not afford to lose the services of so gifted an actress as Miss Grady. At the Standard, Philadelphia, Billy E. Ewing made good in his imitation of a drunk and his manipulation of playing cards. Hestor Kenton, singer and dancer, was also good. The Emanian Trio have a very pretty act and made a favorable impression upon the audience. I. C. Millar and company in "Hello, Mr. Green," were well received. seem to indicate that the entertainment that I am providing has struck me hard. I believe that I am still further increase the value of my efforts to deliver as many as possible as great returns for the effort. At all events I am going to keep doubling my efforts until I arrive at a conclusion that the put up is satisfied. H. GRAY SPECIAL NOTICE.

Also, one of his own composition, Clifton Drake is going big in his dance number and his accompaniment "Kid Dusty," and "Kid Wet," the Wrong Cook and the Walter are some going big is to put the matter tamely, for they are one scream and have the house roaring from their first appearance. Kid Dusty and "Kid Wet" are certainly going big in their Cafe scene and aer dishing it and are filling this popular house, at each performance.

In the parlance du pave, he is a "riot," Mr. Dudley has again joined Mr. Dudley who is the best "straight man" he ever worked with. No two men ever worked with him. Mr. Dudley than Dudley and Ramsey, and their teamwork is a marvel. Dudley, "quick on the trigger," to put over a bright smile of stuff that has not been rehearsed with Ramsey, and the latter is coming in keeping with Dudley's rapid-fire new matter, without the audience knowing the difference. This sort of the time, but, it must be said to his credit that he has never yet failed to have to "stall" sometimes until he can get back to the safety line of the stage, rich, rare and frequently racy comedy and Ramsay's delightful tenor singing constitute an act that has no countenance before the first week in October, Dudley and Ramsay go West on the Pantages stage to take them to the Pacific Coast and back, covering the entire period before can stageland in general will watch their program with deep interest. Noble Sissle is an artist. He occupies a place in the amusement world that belongs to him alone. It may not be a place where he is, he's just different. That is where he shines. A packed house saw him in the midst of a crowd. An extra added attraction, in connection with a wonderful photoplay in five reels, presenting Theda Bara in a Sissle-open with "Have a Good, Good Sissle" opened catchy Nero melody, and then, mounted gracefully on the piano, sang in a panist's Hubert Blakes, that "Tm Crazy About My Baby and She's Crazy About Me." Blake's piano solo brought down the house and compelled an encore. The stellar piece of the day was the rendition by Sissie of the new song. written by Sissie, with the music by Blake, entitled "It's All Your Fault." P.S. The path of a path of music with a feeling by Sissie's flexible tenor voice, Daniel Murray, a violinist of more than local fame, accompanied by Harold Murray, played the selection from the fashion box, the whole concluding with the throwing of the chorus on the screen, the audience, led by Sissie, having learned to sing it in the style. The quartette, Sissie-Blake and the Murrays, showed themselves to be entertainers of class and the afternoon was one of the most enjoyable Washington's musical and dramatic lovers have experienced in a long time. Sissie and Blake came over from Baltimore by special invitations to Manama Thomas and Byas. "It's All Your Fault" bids fair to be the rage in the parlor of the society of the capital. The cool weather is impelling the managers of the Palace, Forker and Iceland alrdomes to say "goodbye" until the springtime and the flowers come again. Whitney and Tutt and Blanche Thompson come to the Howard next week in "George Washington Bullion Abroad." They come with the endorsement of Philadelphia and New York. The Clarks and the Bruces, two star teams, well known on the "big time," but new to the colored vaudeville houses, came to the Howard last week and scored tremendous hits. Miss Clark's rendition of "The Slowest Girl in Town" was worth the price of admission, and Mr. Bruce's buck and wing dance on roller skates was the best of the kind seen on a local stage. These two teams are to be the season's winners on the Dudley circuit and there is a lively competition among the managers as to who will get a chance at their services. PROF, L. K. BAKER'S ANNEX WITH 101. RANCH SHOWS. (By P. L. Jenkins.) After a successful tour of all the New England states we are headed South. All the bunch is in high spirits and everything is running smoothly. Mr. Wm. Nash is daily rehearsing "The Yellow Dog Rag," W.C. Handy's great hit, and says to all performers look out I am coming. Mr. "Doc" Ford, mellophone, singing and talking comedian, never fails to score with his new song "Jubilee in My Old Kentucky Home." He sends best regards to the Drews. Mr. Chas. Brown, mellophone and impersonator, is always a decided hit in his masterly impersonation of "Descon Jones". Mr. H. R. Hall, alias "Buck Mulligan," an impertinent double bass player, was forced to close his engagement and was forced to close his relationship with Quincy, Ill., on account of the serious illness of his wife. Our best wishes and hopes for the early recovery of Mr. Hall's son, his address is 809 S. E. 26th street, Des Moines, Ill. Prof. L. K. Baker sends resards to Profs.

Israel, tuba and double bass, also directs to Mr. H. R. Hall, also Mr. John Estes joined the same day supplanting Mr. Al Washington, cornetist. Mr. Wm.

THE LYRIC THEATRE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA. The Lyric did good business this week owing to the No. 1 bill which he wrote for Chappelle and his Chappelle wom favor with their dian and Mexican act. Their opening number, "Rollie Bollie Eyes," was a song by Chinese "Blues" in a new act. The rendition of this number was good. The patrons of the Lyric were more interested in the act and wish them a speedy return. Joe Brown, blackface comedian, was also good. His entrance is a riot. His performance here he keeps his audience in an uproar from start to finish. Everybody says the Lyric is an easy song, but he bunch sends regards to friends in and out of the profession. Frank Wagner, the band's drummer, our trap drummer, is really besting his way through life. He had to buy a new Leedey last week. Some of the band's members had from Ned McKelver to the theater. JUST A WORD FROM T. P. KELLY'S COTTON PICKERS MINTRESL. The show opened in Constine, Mich., Wednesday, September 22, to a packed crowd. The show is good, clean and full of life with special drops.

The solo art director, Mrs. Alonzo Montgomery and Miss Sahara Edwards, prima donnas; while Proo Alonzo Montgomery handles the yelling. They close the show with one of Mr. Rector's funny after pieces, a comedy about a scream out here, and the finish is a riot in this little farce musical comedy playlet. Miss Leonora Johnson has written a feature featuring "Long, Long Way from Home," while Miss Edwards sings "The Same Old Sweetheart," Be the Same Old Sweetheart, Let's Be the Same Old Friends." The comedy in this act is taken care of by Jim Austin and Frosty Moore. The curtain is a riot. Ed Farrell, Frosty Moore and Conley send regards to Jim Austin and Frosty Moore with Barnum and Bailey. He stops, ALEXANDER TOLLIVER'S BIG SHOW. (By Al Wells.) By request of the people in the city of Richmond, the Big Show has returned to this city for a two weeks' engagement, one week on Churchill and Thirtieth street, and one week at the bookshop.

MALIGNED FORWARD PASS PROMISES TO BE THE BIGGEST FEATURE OF TEAM'S OFFENSE. tle between Goodgame (Gray Sox) and Brady for Mobile. The score was 7 to 5, in favor of the Grey Sox. Goodgame had the best of the pitchers' duels. The last game was a runaway for NEW YORK—Keen students of football believe that the much more ligned forward, and more on the offensive side, game will be exhibited than in years. If they are right, it marks the cap, the jersey, and particularly eastern coaches, who heretofore have gazed down with rather lofty disdain. The years has looked ask-around at the forward pass. It has been used only as a last ditch resort—to be used when desperate attempt to pull a genous, they contended, and it never work against a really formida- The first interpersonal combat in 1913 gave 'em a a jolt, little Notre Dame. He went on a long team, and no reputation, came east to Uncle Sam's army aggregation at West Point. What happened is history now. The Hoodies simulated the Notre Dame ballance of skillful passing, executed by little Gus squicked, 35 Jets and his mates. The army was this. This was football, at least not as it was played in the east. However, it didn't take the army long to get "bep" to the situation, to nasal scream, to scrap that same year soldiers won hands down. The victory was directly attributable to clever passing. Other eastern conches, however, have been slow in following sure. There still seems to be a wide diversity of opinion about the merits of the spiral tossing. Its opponents say that it is too dangerous, that under preset rules it is too weak. They also rise to mark that it is too quick—that the whole aspect of a game can be changed in less than a minute, and for that reason they—for stock market speculation—you're "a millionaire one and a pauper the next." Be that as it may, it is generally conceded that the forward pass adds a lot to the game from the spectator viewpoint, and good food is often wainly buckling at each other's stonewall lines, and resorting to futile end runs, doesn't appeal to population as well as it does the odds of the overt with half a dozen boys ready on the neck of the fellow who receives it. Too, there is always a probability that some one high in the air, grab a ball and make field that never fails to bring the stands to their feet. The opponents of the pass obtain certain arguments cases, and its supporters come back with the argument that when a team is developed in skillful passing, as was the Notre Dame eleven of 2005, it is the important minimum. Therefore the whole question simmers down to a question of developing skill in passing, and while the pass may be bad for one team, it may be the savior The younger school of players that has come up since 1912 and 1913 are better drilled in passing the ball, getting away from the catch of the old school. So, if the forward pass isn't already here, it's coming strong, and, in the opinion of most coaches, it won't be long before the biggest feature of a team's offense. BATTLING JACK RUSSELL IN SA VANITY WEEK WILL WILLIAMS MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 30,—Battling Jack Russell, of Montgomery, Ala., is now in Savannah, Ga., with William Russell, of the champion, for fifteen rounds. Low Williams is known to be one of the fastest boys in the East, while Russell is the lightweight champion of the world. Russell has defeated such boys as young Joe Gans, Mexican champion, and has now engaged Oke Griffin, the lightweight champion. Griffin is known as the human puncher, and has been playing Savannah Tuesday when he and Griffin started training at the Air Dome A. C. Matchmaker Joe Jennings had a large number of games in action. Griffin had so much weight on the champion it made Russell step. Russell shows up like a dancing master in the ring, with his rope-skipping and shadow boxing. Now if Williams wins over Russell he is a wonder. To locate Champion Russell, write to Pekin Theatre, Savannah, Ga. TCOB LETS OUT YELP THAT RED SCOOT UNFIRA TACTICS NEW YORK—That the Boston Red Sox have won the American League title is the charge made by TY Cobb of Detroit Tigers in a signed article in the New York Evening News, September 15, who says, “Any time you meet Carrigan’s club you can hear the chorus from the team. Dustin Jones, they are using the pitcher to shoot fast ones so close to the batter that the ball dumps him off. There is no way to get the ball crowding the plate, which none of our batters do. The Red Sox hit more batters and ‘peg’ at more than 100. It’s that Carrigan’s policy and they boast about it. “Perhaps some fans think I am trying to inhibit a strain in a long race to fight all the way up to one critical under the conditions we faced in Boston. It seems to me it was a very bad hit, for Mr. Lannin to handle his DEFENSIVE TACTICS MAR PAT TERSON-JOHNSON BOUT. ST. LOUIS, Mo. Oct. 1.—A capacity house was sadly disjointed at the exhibition given by Leo Johnson of work and Leo Patterson of Joplin in the New York boxing show at the Future City Athletic club last night. Patterson up a defensive bout, made the put, but put back the contest show uninteresting. Johnson started forcing matters right at beginning, but for the first two rounds he defensive tactics and as a result few effective blows were landed. The third round, though, the New York succeeded in landing a clean left hand to Joplin in the boxing boy went to the mat for the count of nine. After getting up he immediately into a clinch and continued this style virtually the remainder of the bout. MONTGOMERY, ALA. The Grey Sox Defeated the Mobile Athletics.

Goodgame won 7-6, and Brady scored the last game was a runaway for the Grey Sox, defeating Mobile 13 to 7. Sheffield was driven to all corners of the field. The Grey Sox opened with Atlanta Monday, September 20, and Colton, the great, was opposed by the mighty "Cyclone" Tom Williams. It was a pitcher's blithe start from start to finish, Colton scored the argument by the score of 3 to 1. The Grey Sox is now considered to be the 1915 champions of the South. The Grey Sox defeated Mobile three games; Birmingham Giants, 4 out of 5; Montgomery All Stars, 3 games; Montgomery All Stars, 3 games; won 1 out of 2 from Montgomery Y. M. C. A.

The referee, for three rounds, when Shubert gained a wide margin in the fourth and Brannigan evened up in the final session. The crowd hooted and jeered when the referee declared Shubert the winner. BOSTON—Ted (Kid) Lewis, the nifty English lightweight, was the first former Chicago boxer, in a twelve-round bout before a record attendance at the Atlas A. A. here September 28. The decision was given by judges. The bout was one of the most sensational and remarkable ever held in this city. In the eleventh round, Brannigan straight left, but it looked as if Brannigan really got into the punch. He was on his feet in a jiffy and fighting hard. The decision met with the approval of the present. Britton entered the right a 10-to-7 favorite. SAILOR BURTON WINS. Battleship Arkansas, Hampton Roads, Va. In one of the fastest boxing events ever, the Wyman Sailor Burton, the cyclonic little colored battler of the Arkansas, defeated "Kid" Richards, the lanky bantam- weight of the Wyoming. Atkinson Richards seemed almost a head taller than Burton, and had a great advantage in reach over his litt- colored antagonist, he could not do a thing with him. The lightning- ing, the thunder, the always made Richards look like a novice. Although greatly outclassed, the Wyoming boxer was a good boy, and took the finish. He is a good boy, and with more experience should make a name for himself in the fleet, but he was no match for the chinwind bantamweight of the Arkansas. Burton, who is one of the most popular battlers in the navy, has won an automobile reputation. He has never been known to refuse a match with anyone near his weight; his gameness and cleverness in the ring always insure a sterling exhibition of ring craft, and his original grasshopper leaps and a pleasing novelty. A bout between Burton and Early of the Texas would be next in order. Early now holds the belt, and as Burton did not parade in the last fleet tournament there is no way of judging the comparative skill of these boys unless they are matched. Their style of fighting, build and skill in the ring would make this a bout worth going far to see. YOU CAN'T BUY PENNANT WINNER Comiskey of Sox Tried It This Year, but Failed.

WICHITA MAKES BASEBALL HISTORY. ```markdown ``` Recently at Wichita, Kan., two base runners were retired by one throw to the plate in a game between the Wichita and Lincoln clubs of the Western league, probably the only time such a play ever was made. Lincoln had runners on second and third. A Lincoln batter sent a Texas leaguer to right field. The fielder got the ball on the first bound and sent it zipping toward the plate. It so happened that the runner on second was much speedier than the runner on third. He was close on the heels of the third base runner when the latter started for the plate. The throw beat the first man by about two feet, and all the catcher had to do was to reach out and tag him. In the meantime the fellow who had been on second came along so fast that he didn't have time to slow up when he saw the runner ahead of him tagged out. So he took a chance and slid for the plate. The catcher tagged him, and he also was out, making two putouts on one assist. Wichita evidently made history by this play. WHY NOT TRY THIS IN BAN JOHNSON'S LEAGUE?

This season with St. Paul he has been the greatest sensation since Rube Marquard. He will report to the Cards next season. YOU CAN'T BUY PENNANT WINNER Owner of Chicago Americans Believed He Could Easily Land Flag With Addition of Collins, Jackson and Murphy—Manager Rowland May Be Let Out. The theory of building a ball club with high priced and sure fire stars, which President Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox carried out this year at great expense, is receiving a hard blow from baseball critics throughout the American league circuit this season. The White Sox represent more money on the hoop than any other collection of ball players in the country, and yet they are proving a big disappointment to their owner. Even admitting that the last of these stars, Joe Jackson, was secured too late to keep the team in the fight for the pennant this year, that does not explain the poor showing of the team in the last few weeks, during which time it has been on the decline, despite all of the added strength. The White Sox are a great collection of stars right now, but the best efforts of Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Eddie Murphy and Nemo Bailoldo failed to check the slump. The advisability of having several stars on one club has long been disputed by managers. The objection against them is the same one that a stage manager has against a collection of prima donnas in one cast. Too many stars spoil the teamwork. Stars and prima donnas alike go in for individual glory first and last. Eddie Collins is one of Comiskey's stars who help in teamwork. In fact, it was as a main cog in a great machine that he made his reputation as much as by his individual efforts. He always directed the teamwork for the Athletics, and he has been doing the same thing for the White Sox. But it is claimed that Joe Jackson thinks more of his own record than he does of the success of the team. They say that the only time Joe works in with the others is when there is some glory in it for Joe. The first day Jackson played with the White Sox, which was in a game against the Yankees at Chicago, he had a clash with Eddie Collins over his failure to work on a sacrifice play. Instead of laying down a bunt Jackson took three healthy swings at the ball and struck out. As Collins passed him going out to the field he said, "You know even Ty Cobb bunts once in awhile." President Comiskey has paid out about $120,000 for the stars he added to his club this year. When he began inflating prices and gathering in players he believed he would be able to win a pennant. He had become disgusted with the experiments with minor league recruits. Throughout the west the feeling prevails that the White Sox will breeze through to a pennant next year, but their present showing is not very promising. Unless they do win a pennant next year Comiskey will have to be charged with having made a bad investment. Rumor has it that there is to be a change in the management of the Chicago White Sox next season. Comiskey is not satisfied with the way Rowland has handled his team, so the story goes, and some one else is expected to be in charge when the bell taps in 1916. Rowland is accused of having made many mistakes. One of these occurred in a game on the Washington grounds, during the last series of the Sox there. It will be recalled that the Sox scored six runs in the eighth inning and took a lead of four runs over the Nationals. Rowland then put Wolfgang on the rubber, and before the smoke had cleared away the Griffen also had made six runs, winning the game, 8 to 6. Comiskey never forgave Rowland for this blunder. He upbraided him for not having put in Faber right after getting a four run lead over the Nationals. A lot of other mistakes are charged up to Rowland, and Comiskey is said to be determined to get a new man for the job next season. Rowland had quite a ball team turned over to him. The acquisition of Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson, two of the greatest players in the game today, seemed to make the White Sox real contenders in the race. But the team has not come up to expectations and had a hard time finishing in the first division. All this talent was turned over to Rowland, and in summing up the results attained Comiskey is said to be far from satisfied and figures that a better posted manager on the affairs of major league baseball would have been able to land the team a notch or two higher.

Vowels at the state farm at Cummins, Ark., had appealed to the penitentiary commission for baseballs. The commission having no funds available for purpose, sent the letter to President Allen. AMERICAN JOCKEY IS LEADER Heads List of Winners In Big Berlin Meeting. The American jockey Archibald headed the list of winning riders in the summer meeting at Hoppegarten, Berlin, recently concluded, with seventeen firsts in forty-eight races. The victories of the American rider were very popular, and in racing at least there was no trace of anti-American feeling. Second place was taken by Jockey Rastenberger, riding for the Weinberg stables, for which Fred Taral, the old American jockey, is training. Rastenberger, who is serving with the German field artillery and was given a furlough for the meeting, rode fifteen winners in fifty-six races. Other German jockeys follow far to the rear, the next rider, Plueschke, riding only seven winners. BASEBALL AT NIGHT. Wards May Introduce Such Play For Brookfeeds. Baseball at night for the fans of Brooklyn may become a reality within the next few weeks. Robert B. Ward, vice president of the Federal league and owner of the Brookfeeds, and his brother, George S.

McCARDELL A STRONG CANDIDATE FOR SHERIF-GENERAL NEWS OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK. (By Henry B. Lee, of Corona.) Republicans have a winner in McCardell, one of the最强的 candidates ever nominated in this boro on the G-8 summit. He will be the president for the office of sheriff. Charles McCardell was born in Flushing on October 5, 1873, of Flushing parents and a native of New York, very popular with Democrats, having been for twenty years in the sheriff's office. On January 1, 1895, Sheriff Henry Dott applauded him for his service for five years. In 1890 he was made a court attendant by Supreme Court Justice Garretton, which position he held until his justice. Sheriff McCardell all he recognized his worth and reliability. Mr. McCardell is married and has one child. He resides at 80 Broadway, the largest independent concerns in this district employing Negro men. Mr. McCardell has as many Negro chauffeurs as white, also a friend of the largest independent concerns all of his help consists of some Negroes. If the Negroes of Queens realize a friend who has ways to get his attention she give. Mr. McCardell a solid vote on November 2d. I appeal to my fellow citizens of Queens to vote for me for the only Negro one who has been true during his whole business career here, is a man worthy of any Negro's vote. He has the inhonor of being a candidate for the political committee of the Colored Republican Club of Queens Boro and in fact it looks for a certain that he will vote for the Negro vote he will win, because the Democrats are in open rebellion against their candidate inasmuch as he had been a Negro and was therefore very unpopular. Don't forget, friends; come out early and vote for a real friend who has the opportunity to be a person of Charles McCardell, for sheriff. Mr. M. White, who recently moved to Corona, New York, will have the Freeman on sale in his up-to-date barber emporium.
