KENTUCKY'S BLUE GRASS TALK.
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

SPLENDID NEW THEATER OPENS ON THURSDAY.
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,

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.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER
When is the "String Beans" road show to make its debut?
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.

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.

The part of the program passed by Bethal A. M. E. church, and the part of the colored people owed to the soldiers of the Union who offered their lives in freedom's cause. He mentioned the work of the colored people who had a glorious past in all the wars in which this country has engaged. Rev. Jameson insisted that the race is askable. He mentioned the chance to make a living. He deprecated efforts to stir up race prejudice and predicts still more glorious developments for the people of African blood.
Rev. Jameson proceeded to crown the queen of the festival. Mrs. Jephtha Tisdal, who occupied the same automobile as the speaker and others.

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.

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.
Mrs. Fannie Brown entertained 20 girls Tuesday, Sept. 21, at her reside- ment at 7 o'clock, in honor of Mrs. Louella Lewis, of St. Louis, Mo. Refreshments were served, after her evening dancing.

Our country and Germany have
gotten together on the Arabic hap-
pening. 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 Fred-
erick Douglass home in a jiffy, if we
ean 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 repre-
sentative of the race, whether of men
or affairs. It will come from the press
during the holidays. It will be an ad:
dition to the festival of commemora-
tion 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 can-
not 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
ft 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 pro-
poses but God disposes.” When think-
ing 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 measly slide of dirt. 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 satis:
fled 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 éxpdsition of its
ikind ever held in the “United States.
‘This is saying considerable in view of
the big success of the Chicago Ex.
position, 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 ac-
cording to the outline it will be a very
great demonstration. Indiana, Ten-
nessee and Ohio will be ‘asked
to take part. The best of Ne
gro endeavor will be solicited,
Music, in which the race compares 50
favorably with the best in the world,

one of the characteristic _ folk - lore

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
a ee ee ee ee eet
Jed to suspect that he would see some-
thing 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 occa-
sion was an opportunity, and especial-
ly 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’ audi-
ence behaved as if it were at a funeral
—almost oppressively quiet—ominous-
ly quiet, Now and then were ap-
plause, always coming at. the con-
clusion 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 fol-
lowing, asa hound its “prey,” unmind-
ful 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, how-
ever, as seen on the surface was with
Frank, and, of course, in the interest
of the success of the play, and per-
haps, 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
80 largely her husband’s battles. Fic-
tion 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 begin-
ning 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 un-
bearable, when the simulated shriek
drove white terror to the heart. ‘The
real Mrs. Frank could give no more
evidence of grief. She had her joy
places—comparatively joy—the differ
ence between extreme hope and
almost despair. No word she uttered
was lost. Her rare voice, her beauti-
ful inflection and her understanding
of the case made for a most interest-
ing 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 impres-
sion. by his love for wife and family,
his deep avowals of innocence and his
sublime 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 other performers were happily
chosen, especially the mayor, who had
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 Prot-
estant stood for the zeal, not unlike
that read about anent’ the early
Christian martyrs. He bearded the
Mon 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, back-
ing down from his own orders, was
like many another secn 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 pre
seatttion was worthy; nothing of-
fensive, unless it be in’ the fact of a
movement to set Frank right in the
eyes of the world The audience, as
we viewed it, came away without be-
ing any nearer the truth concerning
the murder of Mary Phagin. It came
away, however, with increased respect
for the wounded wife, but with 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, Anacos
tia, 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 prop-
erty. And Douglass, the greatest
Afro-American! This is a sad com:
mentary 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 some
thing 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 flurry.
‘The promoters of the effort to save
the homestead seemed to be so in
different that they appeared visionary.
We have in mind the committee with
headquarters at Washington, D. C., ac
cording 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 asso
ciation would have it be—a memorial
hall to the memory of the great Negra
statesman and emancipator, conse:
quently we essayed forth in the matter
thoroughly as courageous and helped
as Don Quixote, on his mission of
knights errantry, but we found out to
our sorrow. as that valiant but mis.
guided Knight, that “nothing was do.
ing what we were thinking about.’
‘Then, to, we got a tip that we were
not in the right business when. solicit
THE. FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED:NEWSPAPER
ing funds, intimating that something
was rotten in Denmark. Our already
‘arroused suspicions were now con
firmed 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.
‘There seems to have been a con-
spiracy of silence, and if there were,
it 1s a8 “effective” as ever. More harm
is being done to the memory of Mr.
Douglass by the weak show of trying
to honor him than if the whole busi-
ness was coldly dismissed. As mat.
as now stand the memory of the
great man has the appearance of be
ing 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. Doug-
lass’ second marital venture has not
been forgiven by some who exercise
‘an invisible guardianship of the pur-
ity of the races. It may be that he
fs 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 indebted-
ness 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’ asso-
ciation 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 sec-
ond assertion, declaring the probable
action of the second wife's relations,
could only mean a temporary embar:
rassment in that sufficient funds could
be raised to satisfy the relations. How.
ever, all of this is conjectural. But
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

NOTES FROM O'BRIEN’S FAMOUS
GEORGIA MINSTRELS No. 1.
We are still “Mid the Green Fields of
Virginia” today finding us in the beau-
tiful little elty of Appomattox. The
managers and several members of the
company drove out to the battlefield
where was enacted one of the greatest
dramas of the Civil War, the surrender-
ing of Gen. Lee to Gén. Grant. One
standing in reverence and awe’ could
imagine the blare of trumpet, the roat
of cannons, the charge of cavalry and
the rattling firing of infantry, but that
is only the imagination. While walk-
Ing around the site of the house where
the treaty was slened, Mr, John Sulll-
van found ‘a bullet fired from one of
those ‘muskets of long ago. Well ev-
ery one returned to our ears vowing
eternal loyalty to the grand old U. 8.

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.

TCOB LETS OUT YELP THAT

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ward, are now contemplating establishing night baseball at Washington park, the home of the Brookfeeds, in the near future.
Both R. B. Ward and his brother refused to discuss the matter recently, but from a person not connected with the club it was learned that the Wards have been considering for some time the idea of introducing night baseball to the fans in Brooklyn.
