NUMBER 44 CURTIS NAMED M The First of a Series of P for the Followers o SECRETARY OF THE TRE No Merit in Suit for $68,000,000 for Pay for Ante-Bellum Cotton Produce Imminent—Board of Education M Lawyer Jones—The Recordership in (By R. W. Thompson.) Bureau of the Freeman, 1898 S. Court N.W. 1223 S Strete, N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27—One of the "surprise" hints at in these columns a surprise for the president; there has come to pass. President Wilson on Monday named James L. Curtis, of New York, as minister of defense. This is the first of the series of "surprise" that we shall release as time goes on, but it is by no means the first to come out of the presidential hopper. Mr. Curtis' selection for this important post gives satisfaction to the colony known as a clean man, an able man, and one who will reflect credit upon the practice law successfully for a number of years in New York city and has handled some large deals in finance and speaker, possesses a pleasing address and stands well with all of the eleven gotham. He will come to Washington shortly to receive his instructions and to prepare to take hold of the work done there. Mr. Curtis will be as post in the West African republic is invariably allotted to a colony will be any opposition to his confirmation by any member of the senate. The nomination of Mr. Curtis, therefore, the executive session of the senate when congress meets in December, the Liberian Mission was offered to Bishop Alexander Walters, the energetic leader of the democracy, but he could not urge the appointment of Lawyer Curtis and the party magnates concurring, by the president, Mr. Curtis is a brother of Dr. A. M. Curtis, a well-known surgeon of this city, and for the official head of Freedman's hospital. The colored followers of President Wilson are jubilant over the appointment and regard it as the fore-runner of the democratic party. They are handed out to colored men of standing and influence, in or out of the democratic party. The greater "surprise" is said to be in the wind. Keep your eye on the White House. The Recordership of Deeds No Funds in United States Treasury Belounging to Ex-Slaves. --- less. The treasury holds that the tax was collected lawfully, as determined by the court, who is familiar with the law on the subject and the decisions of the courts thereon, would think of bringing suit against the occupants, those who have slaves were entitled to compensation for their work, their claim would be against their former employer, and the course at this late day against such masters, or for the proceeds of the cotton produced by their labor. A connection is made with anything for such service would be fraudulent and absurd. Secretary McAdoo explains this point at length because the statement is untenable of the fact that we are liable to mislead persons unacquainted with the facts. Chief Counsel Jones Publishes Speech and Sends Circulars Cornelius J. Jones, of Memphis, Tenn., is chief counsel for the ex-slavery claimants. He has been in the city recently, and delivered a speech on the matters he has discussed, but made no attempt to answer leading questions raised in these columns just after the filing of the suit. The Baltimore more space was given in the Washington Bay, which it is assumed it the principal organ of the claimants, as it has been carrying all of their advertising. The treasury department has out by the said C. J. Jones, purporting to give "instructions what to do to make claim to share in $68,000,000 sued for by persons who labored in the prosecution. The government has also received another circular issued by C. B. Williams, of Clarksdale, Miss., which is headed "Make a claim to share in a copy of the bill of complaint filed in the court in Washington, D. C. Judge Hewlett Withdraws From Case. Judge Hewlett will attend From Case, Jones in July, he had associated with him former Judge E. M. Hewlett, a prominent member of the district bar, and has now made affidavit that his confidence has been abused and that he now sees no meritorious value in view of the statements made in the printed circulations put into circulation in the south, advising the suit, to the court, the suit etc., he has withdrawn from the case. Judge Hewlett is a man of higher education and takes an indication that a honest man can not afford to be identified with the proceedings as conducted by the promoter-in-charge. The declaration concerning concludes with the declaration that as the pending suit is against the court, a familiar law that a suit of the government itself, and the court to hold that it has no jurisdiction to entertain such a case. It is, therefore, more than probable that the case will presumably be the court on a preliminary motion. The colored papers of the court should give secretary to the widest and fullest public speech. He speaks for the best interests of the colored people of the land, and especially for those or --- Mr. Isaac S. Hathaway, formerly of Kentucky, but living in Washington in recent years, where he has won renown as a sculptor, was married on Monday to the late Barbara W. Edmonds, the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Edmonds, 3434 Madison Avenue, where ding was a pretty affair, and only a few friends aside from the family witnessed the ceremony. The parlors were beautifully decorated and there was a bride, Mrs. J. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church, officiated, using the bride's dress. Edmonds, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid, and the groom was attended by Dr. W. L. Board. The bride was married to Dr. W. L. Board. The bridesmaids, Mr. Daniel W. Edmonds, a brother of the bride, was master of ceremonies, assisted by Mr. James L. Edmonds, a brother of the bride, T. H. Johnson played the wedding march from Mendelsohn's "Lohengrin." Dainty refreshments followed the wedding, and pieces of the bride cake were distributed. Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway left Tuesday for Pine Bluff, Ark, where the sculptor will be in clay modeling in the Branch Normal College. Mr. Hathaway's young son accompanied him to Pine Bluff, where a broad field of constructive service awaits them all. We shall have more to say of Mr. and Mrs. Hathaway later. A. M. E. Conference is to be Held Here. By an agreement entered into last week, the next annual session of the Baltimore Conference will be held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church in this city, instead of a Bethel in Baltimore, and the owner declines involvement. Metropolitan church had on foot some plans that it was though would militate against a successful meeting here, and the owners declined involvement of the plans then pending has led to an extension of an invitation and the conference will be held here next week. The local church has not entertained the Baltimore conference since 1908. A Change in Washington School System Scheduled Soon. As has been predicted for many years, the Washington schools.

If the board with limited powers reaffirm the reasons there will be scarcely a reason for face face. The only colored member likely to be retained, if the board is not abolished, will be reaffirmed.

It has long been recognized that only in a complete overhaul of the system have made the schools a joke. If that relief means the doing away with the officials who have made this situation so they have only themselves to blame. A step in the right direction was the rule to allow two salaries in the school system, than two salaries in the school system, the blow being aimed at certain individuals who have been serving as day school teachers, the attendant. The rule is good, but in the opinion of every one not on the pay-roll, it does not go far enough. The rule is also allowing one should be allowed to draw more than one salary from the public schools. The rule is also teaching in the night schools, also teaching in the salaries should go to the normal graduates who have nothing to do. The notice of this phase of the school problem and if there is a response to the popular will, the doubling-up of day school salaries should be made. The benefits of the people's money should be spread over the widest possible area. Major Lynch "In Our Midst." Major John R.

I will look sometimes about me for the things that merit praise; I will search for hidden beauties that elude the grumbler's gaze; I will reenter in the path that I must tread.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1915. The weather is jogging along most beautifully and no one seems to be paying it any mind. We are for free and independent Haiti, but not for the Haiti of the few past years. That country with its foreign interests could easily embroil the Western hemisphere. And it has been demonstrated that it absolutely has no political conscience. Do we overstate it? The management of the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York, engaged James Weldon Johnson, colored, brother of Rosamond Johnson, to translate the libretto of a Spanish opera into English. That's doing very nicely in this Anno domini 1915, and the fifty years till of Negro freedom. The Freemason have many things of progress and interest to present its forth coming exposition number. See the issue by all means. Perhaps it is not necessary to enter on a great program of preparation for the defense of the country as some have suggested. It is always the way—from one extreme to the other. Developments of the recent months, nevertheless, made it plain that the country too great to have such poor defense. We must defend it, but we can not afford to take chances. An increased army and a strengthened navy is imperative if we wish to feel to be proof against invasion. Poor Miss Edith Cavel; she gave up her life for her countrymen. She was the English nurse who was shot by the Germans for aiding British and Belgian soldiers to escape. She admitted it—admitted that she knew what she was doing. But somehow we don't like to think of women being punished for such things. It's the strain in us, and not because of the particular kind of offense. In the move whose punishable need has the sting of virtue. Only the out and out race are allowed to go without back in our judicial machinery; and women are seldom that. Miss Cavel, at any rate, will get what the world so greatly desires—praise for all time. Not long since the Knights of Pythias, of Louisville, Ky., dedicated their new temple, a seven-story building, which cost about $100,000. The structure, according to the likeness see in the newspapers, is architecturally beautiful, imposing and full worthy of the Kentucky branch of the great K. of P. lodge. Among those taking prominent part in the dedicatory services were Roscoe C. Simmons, Hon. R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, Ill., and the state are beginning to show the possibilities. They have the people, and who have the means, but they have been indifferent about putting on a front. The recent years find the citizens making up to their opportunities. This great new building is only one evidence of the regeneration. The scrap at the base ball grounds last Sunday was indeed very deplorable. Some try to justify the happening because there are frequent occurrences of the kind between white teams. It was the same, but with a difference. An umpire is an umpire or he is nothing. We have the right to hoot him, to hiss him, even to call him names, that is, the right is conceded; but when it comes to striking him it is altogether different. It was not exactly the same, because of the known difference between the races. The colored player strikes the white umpire, knocking him down before 5,000 persons, the larger number being white. Can you magine such a thing? The umpire was struck because he was rendering unpopular action (allegedly). It was a beautiful illustration of how to look at the white folks. From the viewpoint of man and man, it would have been just as bad if a white player had struck a colored umpire. Manager Taylor, enroute to Cuba with his club, wired back to the city, expressing himself as greatly hurt because of the happening. He did the manly thing—an apology is due from the aggressor (or white or colored) even if it is never tendered. THE EXPOSITION NUMBER. The Freeman is busy at this time preparing for its exposition number, which will be issued during the holidays. The object is to supplement the work of the various expositions in celebrating the fifty years' end of the achievements of the race as a free people. The newspapers have made some effort in furthering the idea of celebration, and which was very commendable. We think that, owing to the reputation and popularity of our publication, it is up to us also to help out in giving emphasis to the period. Semi-centennials are very far apart, and while it is not absolutely necessary to celebrate them, yet it's the ways of civilization. A thoughtful, reflective, thankful nation like the individual will count the most in the long run. Our object is to set forward the representative achievements of the race pictorially, in words, covering every class of meritorious endeavor, so that the reflection will be no less than an epic, the race in miniature. The staff of contributors whose names will be published in the near future will stand respectively as indexes of their subject. That is, they will speak with authorities and fact that they will be those who have made success of their various undertakings. We are busy soliciting for the representation, and we hope there will be response in kind, in keeping with the undertaking. So far we have met with flattering success. Those receiving a letter from us will confer a great favor if they will answer promptly as the time is short for the work which has been mapped out. TAKING UP FOR HAITI. Elsewhere in this issue is a communication from Alonzo P. Holly, M. D., a son of the late Bishop James Theodore Holly, D. D., LL. D., of Haiti, for the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States, wherein he deplores the stand taken by our country in Haiti. The gentleman is further distinguished by having been consul from Haiti to Bana. In order to make his contentions good he has this to say: "It may interest you to know that D. John, of Haiti, was a resident of Eleventh Episcopal district have recently adopted resolutions condemning the actions of the United States at their recent (October 18) Pre-Centenial Rally in Jacksonville, Fla." The above seemingly preponderance of condemnation is apparently overwhelming, and from a special viewpoint it is overwhelming enough. Haiti is absolutely independent, and to the glory and honor of our own white people, who are considered sometimes rapacious and unmindful of the claims of Negroes, they have lived beside the little republic for more than a hundred years, long before its advocates born and raised, and they, the white people, this country, tempted to disturb the autonomy of the island. We think this is sufficient earnest of good will and good intentions. Some notion of greed may actuate the action of our country at this time. This is a bare possibility. And admitting that, that country is a tempting morsel, it is not more so today than it was years ago. Nor will we forget that there's more of a disposition this day to spread out, to grow—than in the days of George Washington. Really it is this change of disposition that's feared. However, the word of the country is out that no harm shall befall the republic, consequently we should rejoice in the fact that the country is to be saved to itself, from itself. That it will be saved from itself sounds ill to those unacquainted with the happenings of the recent past. Nor do we claim intimate acquaintance, but we know and the world knows that those happenings were the very worst in the history of civilization. We can not see how they could be condoned or excused. Haiti has become a nation of murderers, "regicides" as mean as it sounds. Its governments have been as play—cruel play—as a cat plays with a mouse—teasing their executives a bit, then fouly murdering them, and calling it war. If this Lucretia Borgia situation were the end of all, it would not be so bad. We said sometime ago that independent governments are independent in themselves, but not wholly so as it concerns other governments. It's too long a story to verify this proposition. But careful thinking men can at once see the interdependence, or its necessity, and not that a government has the whole say concerning the lives and property of strangers within its gates. And unless we see it in some such manner we fail to get the gist of the business. We cannot see much excuse for Dr. Holly's argument unless there have been suppressed facts, unless the country is not inured to political brigandage, unless the communities teem with commerce, and the contented husbandmen garners his crops in a security as of God such as our country knows. A white republic or black republic not guaranteeing all of these things is not worthy of the name. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S REPORT. Principal's Report to the Trustees, is the way the annual report of Tuskegee is styled wherein there is an accounting of the affairs of that institution, financial and otherwise. This year, ending May 31, 1915, the report covers the doings of the school in a more comprehensive way than heretofore, due, perhaps, to its growing importance and reputation, having in mind its prominence as a greater influence in the affairs of the country and which is more than scholastic. The report is prefaced by Seth Low, of New York, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and for which he speaks. He comments on the usefulness of the institution, speaks commendingly of Dr. Washington, whom he says has done Herculean work. Mr. Low says the gap between the annual income of the institution and the needed outlay is about $150,000, and concerning which he closes with the following tribute to the principal: "The influence and the labors of Dr. Washington have proved adequate but the bridge that they built but every year it becomes more and more important to relieve the Principal of some measure of this burden. Now that many who read this report will move to do something to this end." Dr. Washington calls attention to the effect of the European war on the industries of the south. The colored people are caught in the grip of the war made panic as well as the white people. Tuskegee rose to the occasion, teaching the people how to meet with success the changed industrial relations. Other crops than cotton have been urged which means the first essential is secure—something to eat. Dr. Washington says that both races have shown gratitude for the efforts in that direction. Extension work is a part of the plan the States are touring when thousands of both races are met by the Tuskegee propaganda who set forth the Tuskegee ideas. The report refers to the important gatherings during the year, during which time state and county superintendents of education, supervisors and teachers visited the institution, also many other distinguished visitors. National health week was the outcome of the movement for better home surroundings and which met with success throughout the country. Tuskegee was largely responsible for the campaign against the seed of disease: The school school for 1914-15 began September 8, 1914 with an enrollment THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER in excess of the enrollment of September, 1913. The total enrollment of the school was about the same as the enrollment for last year, 997 boys and 630 girls, a total of 1,537 from 32 states and territories. The number of foreign students come from 19 foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. This number does not include the 200 in Children's School, a fractional school. "I must not fall to call attention to successful summer school which is being held every year at Tuskegee Institute under the supervision of Mr. J. E. Moore, director of our academy department, or our 100 teachers registered from 15 states, and there is every indication that the summer school is being extended. No part of our work at Tuskegee is more satisfactory than that which is being done through our summer school." "Movable Schools," made possible by the Smith-Lever bill, is commendably referred to. Dr. Washington says: "Not less than 7,540 colored people were reached through these movable schools, and the number of course the Annual Short Course for Negro Farmers has been held here at the Institute, and also the Tuskegee University, for the year. The amount of money coming to us with which to operate these movable schools is likely to increase year by year." Julius Rosenwald has proved an important factor in Negro educational affairs. We set out in full the report on the Rosenwald schoolhouses: "Through our Extension Department we have been able to provide the year, in building rural schools, the arrangement being that the people shall themselves, give a certain amount of money from county, or other agencies co-operating. In this way ninety schools have been started or completed, and through them we have been able to provide Rosenwald, an additional helper has been provided for, so that we hope during this year to build and equip at least 100 schools throughout the South by October." "I would also like to call to the attention of the board another recent act of generosity on the part of Mr. Rosenwald, who has contributed a thousand dollars among the teachers at Mrs. Rosenwald: In celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their work, they have distributed a thousand dollars among the teachers at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, on the basis of the work done with fifteen years of service as the minimum limit. This is probably the first instance in the history of the institution, which has been distributed among teachers in white or colored schools in recognition of their work. Warm and cordial letter of appreciation was sent to each of the teachers so recognized, concluding with these words: "We recognize the proper and grow and prove an effective influence for usefulness to the institution and to the teacher as a teacher are we to respect, treat, serve and pathetic; and I am sure you will in the future, as in the past, do your part to strengthen and uphold the hands of our students in the responsibility of carrying on the work." This thoughtful recognition will help and inspire our teachers to better service; and the installment of the new central heating plant. He says this is the largest and most important single piece of work ever done in the school grounds. A friend of the institution gave five thousand dollars to build and equip a veterinary hospital. Messrs. C. Bottrell and Sons Company, of Westerly, R. L, and Chicago, Ill., donated one of their latest improved printing presses. During the year the various off-shoot schools of Tuskegee were visited by Tuskegee faculty groups, the cost of the visiting was paid by Tuskegee. A disastrous loss by Tuskegee is referred to. "I now briefly refer to our financial condition, complete details of which are shown in our treasurer's report. The trustee has agreed to pay for the current expenses and improvements amounting to $28,303.51. I regret to state that we have overspent the budget or current expenses, and I agree to say that we have underspent the budget for improvements, so that the net over-expenditure in two accounts amounts to $7,452.22. "As of May 31st, we have received all from sources for current expenses and $28,919.47; for endowment $28,102.99; for undesignated legacies, $53,810.10; making the total receipts for purpose named for the year $79,370.848. "The gifts to the Endowment Fund for the year amounting to $21,020.00 now make the fund stand at $1,970, $214.17." Continuing, Dr. Washington says: "The most urgent needs of the institution are: 1. $50 a year for annual scholarship for our students, with actual benefits providing for his own board and personal expenses in labor and cash. 2. $1,200 for permanent scholarships. 3. Money for operating expenses in any amounts, however small. 4. $2,000 each for four teachers' cot 4. $2,000 each for four teachers' cot- tages. 5. $4,000 for a building for religi- ous purposes. 6. $1,600 to complete the Boys Trades Building. 7. $5,000 for a Boys Dormitory. 8. $5,000 for a Boys Dormitory. 9. An addition to our Endowment Fund of at least $3,000,000. Of the special needs of the institu- tion, Dr. Washington says: "Our needs are so many and varied it is difficult to single out any special ones, but our daily experience and ob- jectivity of our work would be many times increased if we could secure the funds for a much-needed new dormi- tory, and we would be able for girls to cost each about $5,000 and also horse and cow barns, silos piggy house, feed and supply house, building mill room, poultry houses meat house—the whole to cost about $ DALLAS.

"Darkydom" was voted "all right"—except the title. S. H. Dudley was in Winnipeg, B. C., when last heard from. Miss Alice Ramsey is to fill a date at the Howard shortly. They say Miss Daisy Martin is headed this way from "good old Jacksonville." Miller and Lyles made a fine impression upon their initial appearance here. Miss Louise Cook is with George Stamper's "Broadway Strollers" in New York City. Edward Tolliver and Miss Goldie Chappelle are to play a return engagement at the Howard in a week or so. They are clever artists. Clarence Cameron White, violinist, is to come to the Howard Theatre, Saturday from No. 10, at 6:30, under the auspices of the Euterspace. The "Two Sweets" (Wille and Lula Perry) rested last week, stopping at Jane's Actors Home. "11 Florida avenue, N. W., and are now in Cambridge, MD. Irvin C. Miller has put out a big show, with Manager John T. Gibson, of the Standard Theatre, Philadelphia, as a partner. The show has some high-class people in it. Henry Troy admirably sustained his reputation as a "matter idol" during his career. Mr. Troy is drawing down a goodly lot of shoekels as a moving picture star. Miss Clara Oliver, who is taking a course dedicated to public art, has returned to Dudley's as pianist. During her absence the place was quite satisfactorily filled by Miss Caroline Thornton. Miss Desdemona Barnett, who presides over the box office at Dudley's, is a graduate of the swellest female colleges in the South. She is a native of Atlanta, Ga. Salden Tutt Whitney's "Smart Set" is on the southern circuit. The show made Newport Norfolk, Petersburg, N.J., and past fortnight. Big business every- where is reported. Buffus G. Byars leaves in a few days for Tomas H. Terrell's lecture tour of the Loma Star State. Big results are looked for, and a monster reception awaits the eminent jurist at the line. Mme. Anne Patti Brown, of Chicago, the famous coloratura soprano, is to the guest of Mrs. R. W. Thompson 1223 S street northwest. The fair diva is en route to South America for an extended concert tour. Lew W. Henry, manager of the Dudley Theatrical Enterprises, is "down upon palming off antiquated acts on the dulgent public. He gives it out now that there is no return engagement for people who bring nothing new. No more money for old act. In the Whitney "Smart Set," the elongated comedian and basso profundo Whitney is "george Carrie King, one of the Whitney" and Miss Carrie King, one of the Whitney substitutes for Miss Bianca Thompson to "Oerlinga Shaw." the prima donna role. . . . Lawrence Caldwell led the local orchestra in fine style with "Darkydom" and nipulated the piano and wielded the baton in certain numbers of his own instrument in the event that Washington soy who made good in the city and friends gave him a warm welcome home. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis gave two brilliant dramatic recitals this week in Baltimore, followed by an applause in the city before home the latter part of the week. It is expected that she will respond to demand from the public for a dramatic performance in this city before undertaking another long sojourn abroad. Miss Lillian G. Thompson, the noted soprano, has returned to her home in Baltimore after sojourn at the handsome home of Miss Anna G. Victoria of Florida. An effort is being made to induce Miss Thompson to accept an engagement to render solos at frequent intervals, as an extra interaction at the Howell superiors. Miss Alice Calloway, the "Oh, you drummer!" of the Walton-Cook productions, has been the Maltster of the orchestra and deserved the spotlight thrown on her in the "Rat-a-Tat" number. Miss Calloway is a member in the Theatres of Washington in New York and is longtime Washington for a week by Manager Walton. Washingtonians were disappointed in not seeing Romeo L. Dougherty last week, but they saw a view "Darkydon" for The New York News, of which he is a dramatic editor. "To understand" him—on the review end of the game. Dougherty never puts in an understudy in his stellar role, as he does in his Shakespearean namesake, "Romeo." . . . Will Marion Cook renewed acquaintance last week with a host of Washington college men, and he him back in the harness, looking better than ever, although working like a trojan with brain and baton. He was not the only man who nothing was more impressive, from a classical standpoint, than his "Ghost Pool," rendered effectively by Creighton Thompson, backed by a great chorus. Washington is capably represented in Whitney's "Smart Set" by Miss Hattie McKinney and by Miss Elisabeth Proctor, who act the role of an adventurer with life-like fidelity, and wears some handsome shoes. She is also the Scott, who "stands out" as a great detective, assuming in connection therewith five distinct characters, finally finding in the crook he has been looking for. Clark and Clark, one of the best teams in the country, got off in good style last week at Dudley's. They are not so well known in colored houses throughout the East on white time, Grant and Smith, in a sister act, would do better if they would get down to the intelligence into their work. There is no room on the stage nowadays for any except those that "deliver the goods." M. Coleman has about perfected his plans for a new theatre on Third street southwest, to cost about $12,000. The theatre will be equipped for road shows and the biggest novelty acts. The Southeast is to be eventually as safe a venture in theatricals as the Northwest, where he will sit at the door and a manager has nothing to do but put on the attraction and let the people know that he has it. The Southwest is to be a new venue and it is believed that Mr. Coleman has a gold mine in sight. ... By the exercise of methods, both diplomatic and dramatic, Managers Thomas and Byars have put a quietist to the habit of coming to the theatre on Sunday afternoons and annoying rehearsals of the big feature pictures. This gang has been prone to laugh when pain and suffering are depicted and make ribald demonstrations when a riot occurs, and ought to be the rule. A repetition of the noise of a Sunday or so ago will offend the leaders will in future be barred from the house. If Major Pullman's order is to stand the "country's law is no more. The head of the police force says the giving away of things by numbered tickets is a game of chance and the lottery manager Thomas is of the opinion that the lottery law does not forbid handling troussons and has retained counsel with a view of testing the legality of the Pullman order.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. B The Knocker Who is sure there's nothing wholesome; But that everything is rank; Who sees no good in any, But how he hopes with mock And whose mission self-appointed, Is the knock, knock, knock. He's the milestone of all progress. He is wholesome efforts bane; He can just see the evil, Naught to him is safe or sane; He is there to put a damper to unhappiness; New doors to progress, coming Just to knock, knock, knock. He paralyzes effort. He invites distrust and fear, He pulls down and dismantles, He would marry the man. Would that in the chair electric We could stop with fatal shock The man whose only object Is to knock, knock, knock. —Baltimore American. Following is a letter from Chas. S. Carter, proprietor of a large and up- standing business in the City of Queen and Lincoln streets, Norfolk, Va. Mr. Carter is one of the leading men in the city and rapidly growing city of Norfolk, yet he time to take interest in anything that concerns his race. Not only is Mr. Carter a personal friend but for several royal friend of the Smart Set Company: Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for your kind reference in the joke yesterday. It was quite a "boost" indeed. I am also including you in the joke. "The Virginian Pilot," because I am proud of it and fear that you will not write, because it is so different from the write of our show in the same paper, because it is so different from here. The writeup last year was an insult to our race, and our colored paper. The Journal and Guide, came out in 1980, and many of the colored people from taking the white paper. the editor of the colored paper, Mr. P. B. Young, also wrote to the manager of the Wells Fargo, who he allowed newspapers to speak of the patrons of his theatre in such tones, etc. The boycott seems to have borne fruit, judging from this morning's news, why is why I am sending you the clipping. I am very sorry that I did not get the chance to thank you for your continued success and thanking you again, I am Very grateful to you CHAS. S. CARTER. Following is the writeup from The Virtue Journal commenting upon this season's show: SALEM TUTT WHITNEY COMEDIAN OF ABILITY If Salem Tutt Whitney comes back to Norfolk next season with his first major league appearance alone will be worth the price. He is a genuine black-lead singer, and he will be a audience that saw him last night at the Colonial in "George Washington Builion Abroad" laughed at his comedy and enjoyed his songs, especially his toast to the Colonial. Whitney had good support and the three-act "musical comedy" written by his brother, the production is entirely one of what he coloured at his associates may just be proud. It is interesting and pleasing to NEWS OF THE PLAYER. The father of Roy Johnson, of the team of Jones & Johnson, died Wednesday night, October 20, at Zanesville, Ohio. Archie Armstead, celebrated comedian and dancer, is now serving a long term in Texas. Regards to my many friends in and out of the profession. If you have no cut, get one made for you. The Precies. If you have advertising now is the time to do it. Absolutely your best opportunity. Do not delay, as we are now on the job.

The act was beautiful but badly Young; wrote you. Crown Garden. WORD FROM T. P. KELLY'S DIXIE MINSTRELS. Our third week out and still playing to good business, although we have met some bad weather. We have played hard and the show is in fine working order. Miss Shahra Edwards, former concert singer, is now leading lady with the T. P. Edwards orchestra. Miss Edwards is meeting with great success nightly, singing lise de Amour. She still possesses a rich, high soprano voice. Her high notes are very strong, while her low or middle notes are full of expression. Truly a wonderful singer. Doing the unexpected always has us as well as in the theatrical profession. Sh-e-c-e-e-e—soft music, please, Professor. Frank (Tuba) Brown sends regards to B. Gilman Lee and B. K. O. W. hand, of Darville. She-c-c-c-c—Soft Music. It was a gray dawn and as she hastened along towards the depot the cold wind blew through her hair and the little soubrette reached her tiny hand towards the door of the waiting-room, and she looked at the little we around her knew that she had been wounded in a battle with Cupid. Seating herself in a waiting-room, she waited for the phone frombone). We waited breathlessly, note the change in the attitude of the Southern press towards colored shows. The Southern press has a policy of the reporters of colored shows to refer to the performers as "darkies," mokes, "niggish," etc. The merit of the mokes and niggish shows and nearly always there was some sarcastic reference to Negroes making a considerable space was given to a ludicrous description of the occupants of "nigger heaven," meaning the galleymen who occupied the lower floors. The exceptions to this were the colored ladies and gentlemen who occupied the lower floors. The galleymen who occupied the Dallas, Ft. Worth Galveston and San Antonio, Texas; Danville, Va., and Vicksburg, Miss. Most of the Southern papers now seem to realize that there is some real difference between the colored ladies and gentlemen they have given the Smart Set Company any road show would be proud to receive. Many of the reporters of colored shows in the North make a silly attempt at the facetious by referring to the players as "darkies," etc., and gimmies as "dusky ladies and gimmies." A most encouraging sign is the increased white attendance in the Southern cities we have played this season. The role of a gentleman in the portion of our white audiences have been ladies and gentlemen of quality. The folk about a dozen women have performed its performance fully attired in regulation evening dress. In other seasons it has been rule of our white audiences, to most attire to the first sign of the "finale." This season they remain seated until the final curtain. Many have remained after the show to experience the excellent quality of the performance. That "a prophet is without honor in his own country," was disproven by the Smart Set Company, while playing his home, Richmond, Va. His first appearance was a signal for loud and proactive home entertainment at home was fully attested upon his every other appearance during the show. If you wish to know anything about performers of the past or present who are worthy of special mention, ask R. K. Doggett, a dramatic critic, press agent and contributor to white magazines. Mr. Doggett is a polished gentleman, also a graduate of Howard University. He is not a musician, but he has been associated with the leading exponents of music, drama and song. Mr. Doggett is one of the very few coached men competent to intelligently write. Romeo L. Doggett, now with the hustling "New York News," is well known as a dramatic and sporting editor. He is the only colored contributor to the New York Times. Brooklyn Eye, leading white dailies of the country. Mr. Doggeth became generally known by his efficient work upon the Amsterdam News. He is also a contributor of athletics to the New York Globe. Mr. Dougherty but lately returned from an extensive tour of the British Isles, San Juan, Porto Rico, Caracas, Venezuela, St. Thomas, St. Cruz, Porto Rico, and Dougherty's was not a pleasure trip. The sad death of his mother, who was a Porto Rican, was the cause of his death. Traveling by land and travelling was necessary to straighten out the business of his mother's sum of money. Mr. Dougherty as a "hale fellow well met," and a great vulture and pleasure of knowing him. Edward Farrell, our two-story cornetist, sends regards to Motto and Holloway, his band, Prot.

Amyhysteria tria was deserved, for her performance was first and foremost did not disappoint their hearers in any way, for they sang with conceived or perfect artistry and their voices complemented their cuit solandes and passages with rare precision and beauty. In the opera from Lucia was their initial number, and the music was truly linda that the audience was priviled enjoy. The Belmonts, eccentric comedians, dancers and musicians, who got music out of various instruments, were the audience who priviledance. Miss Benton, at one time must have been one of the Berlin Madacps, for she has a little accent, and she got music out of other instruments, those foreign romps. She is as graceful and nimble as one could wish. Criswil and Avery contributed amuscularity to the kling of songs. Mills and Frisby never let themselves become too serious, and so their foolery always whets the ears of the audience with remarks and their dancing and singing are all in the most carefree mood. A happy combination is that of Busyann and the audience. The audience took kindly to them from the start. Their work elicited much applause; they were certainly mithorned and the audience panned out the show, and they worked to good purpose in entertaining.

MCGOWTH. POLICE PREVENTED RIOT—HAD TO USE CLUBS FREELY— UMPIRE ASSAULTED— TWO COLORED PLAYERS AR- RESTED. On the eve of the departure of the A. B Cs for Cuba the club had a serious mixup with the All-Star club under the management of Ownie Bush. The latter club is a white organization of professional players of the various big leagues. The Indianapolis Star had the following concerning the fracas: A race riot of serious proportions was narrowly averted at the Federal League Park Sunday afternoon, when Umpire James Scanlon was attacked by two colored players in a game between all-star club under the management of Ownie Bush and the A. B Cs, an Indianapolis colored team. Spectators rushed to the field and it required the combined efforts of a dozen policemen and six detectives to quell the disturbance. Clubs were wielded before the incensed fans were finally driven from the diamond. Then the game proceeded. Two Players Arrested. Elwood DeMoss, second baseman, and Oscar Charleston, center fielder of the colored team, were arrested, charged with assault and battery. They obtained their release in time to depart with the other members of the team late in the afternoon for Havana, Cuba. The trouble arose in the fifth inning with the white players at bat. Bush was on first base and darted for second base. Bush played play at second, but it appeared that Bush had reached the bag safely and Umpire Scanlon ruled him safe. After pushing him, struck at his face with his fist. Scanlon sparred, but did not strike the colored player. Running back Jake McCarthy is allowed to have struck Scanlon in the face. The umpire was knocked to the ground, suffering a severe gash on the left side of his face where Charleston Players of both clubs ran to stop the trouble and the field soon was swarming with the police all allies" the policemen finally managed to disperse the crowd before further damage had been done. After the police had final fights which the police and detectives halted quickly. Scanlon was able to resume his duties after the field was cleared. About 5,000 spectators Sergeant Murphy was in command of the squad of police and it was their quick work that stopped the disorder. The police were relieved in a free-for-all. Several of the patrolmen drew revolvers, but they were ordered to put them away by Murphy when the trouble was solved with them. Keeps on Running. After he had struck the umpires, Charleston kept on running, and a few moments later he was lost in the rain, and had trouble fending him, but at length he was placed under arrest along with Delosx and husted away to the city prison. The management of the A. B. Cs made hustle to get Charleston and Develx to accompany the team on its tour to Cuba, as the loss of these two players would have been a severe handicap to Manager C. I. Taylor greatly deplored the happening. He wired back the team and part of the A. B. Cs immediately went en route to Cuba to the Star the following: "That was a very unwarranted and inconvenient part of our folder. There can be no reason given that will justify it. Umpires Geisel and Scanlon are gentlemen. I am grateful to Bush and Baumann and I am grateful to them for their earnest efforts to ward off trouble and their kind words to me after "The colored people of Indianapolis displace the incident as much as do. I will not condemn the A. B. C. baseball club nor my people for the ugly and unsportsmanlike outfits and hotheads. I can prove by the good colored people of Indianapolis that I stand for right living and clean sport. I am untimely for the past two years in an effervescent and unfortunate manner sport there and am sorely grieved at the untimely and uncalled for occurrence at Federal Park today. I pass unjust judgment on my club or ALL-STARS TAKE LAST GAME. One Hit. The 1915 baseball season in Indianapolis was brought to a close Sunday when Bush was appalled upon the A.B.C.s, 5 to 1, at Federal Park. It a hot game until the fifth inning, when light occurred in the result, led to arrest of Players Charleston and DeMoss of the A.B.C.s and injury to Umpire Scanlon. The Charleston while clinched with DeMoss. Quick action by the police cleared the and quiet was restored after a few minutes. The stolen second and when Umpire Scanlon waved him safe the fight started. But Bush said DeMoss had "missed" him. Bush said the attack no cause for the attack on the official. Some Good Pitching. Bob Russell and "Cannon Ball" Redd singed a great pitching battle and until the fight only one run had been made. The second inning, Joe Willis went to the mound for Bush's team in the sixth and finished the game in good style. The second champions scored in the sixth, a base on balls and two errors permitting Allen to one arm. The B. Cs obtained only one hit a handout over Russell's head in the third inning. But the police had taken two of his regular hits. A B. Cs was forced to use subs, and a result the defense behind Redding Two walks, an error and a double play. All-Stars in the fifth. In the sixth Kelly singled and scored on Russell's Kelly Makes Star Catch. Russell hurled in grand form and one man reached first the five imminent colored champs on strikes. Mike Kelly up the big leaguer in great shape and he dug out the colored champs. He went over to the A. dugout in the eighth and made about a catch of a foul ball ever seen in this city. About 5,000 people were in the bibs and grand stand and there was a lot of action for Cuba after the game. Manager the colored champs deplored the action and he always has directed orderly teams is one of the leaders in stamping out the colored ranka. Players of the Cubs A.-S.

The report shows that thirty-eight of the fatalities were caused by being hit on the hands of the pitcher; six players were killed in fights during or after games, six died from over-exertion and three from a broken arm. Injuries showed a slight decrease over the preceding year, 7 per cent of the players in organized baseball being injured during the season. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTS. MEMPHIS—Experience and ring generalship gained an eight-round decision. Jennie Miller, the Mexican lightweight, won the national son, here October 21. Minor gave his brown-skinned opponent a hard fight all the way, but Palmer's experience stood out during each round. NEW YORK. October 18—Boston's world's champion Red Sox have nothing on the Lincoln Giants, a colored team that played field yesterday the Giants beat the Phillies with Chalmers on the mound, 1 to 0. Stock, Bancroft, Niehoff, Paskett and other regulars were in the lineup. NEW YORK, October 22—That right-handed gave Jim Coffey at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night has started the Pittsburgh boxer on the road to "Easy street." He was practically "broke" when he entered the ring. For his six minutes and a half of work against Coffey he received $6,500 and an offer of $10,000 for an engagement in Boston next week. I'm after Willard now," said Moran to the coach. "I'll be able to match with him. I fought Johnson twenty rounds, and have defeated the contest. The contest was fey was easy man to whip. His punches did not hurt me, merely cut me a little and stunned me." MIKE DONOVAN TELLS OF OLD-TIME BOXERS. Terms Fighters of Yesteryears as Brutal, and Says the Modern Performers Are Further Advanced. "Prof." Mike Donovan is enjoying the real rest he has had in 30 years of boxing and the enjoyment of boxing instructor at the New York Athletic club and the youngsters of that organization sent him home to watch the game with the club as the clubs boxing tutor with $5,000 in his pocket as an evidence of their appreciation. He in his little home in the Bronx. Collardless, with both feet rest in Indian moccasins, he was the picture of rest and content. It didn't take long to get "Young." Donovan hit the boxing mat with the whole, the witty "it's boxing now," he began, with a snap of his solid old jaws. We used him with big gloves and we see them battering each other up as we did with bare knuckles. It's impossible for two good men, in condition to hurt themselves in ten rounds with big gloves, but the game has improved wonderfully. There is nothing new in the matter of offense and defense. Why? We hear the meternally prating about the solar plexus punch. Do you know that I taught that same punch in 1932 McAuliffe when I was 19 years old? "The well conducted clubs of today make it easier for the fighters. We see them at the beaches—no sleep, no rest—and when the sun would pep over the hills, we would pitch a ring and have a fight at our beds—no sleep, no rest—and the way possible—with bare knuckles. "The class of fighting men has improved. You don't go to a saloon, you go to a bar, you find him home with a family, or at the theater or the club. They are business men now. In my business sense with little price and battered faces, it was brutal—those bare knuckle fights. I wouldn't look at one now. I would watch a bare knuckle fight with watch a bare knuckle fight for $5,000. And in my day I was rated one of the best of the bare knuckle fighters. Here, I watch a bare knuckle fight with eve brows ripped clear across, and this old scar between the eyes. Look at this old nose, will you! Broken four on your face. Oh I tell you, boy, it took courage, if we did lack common sense. But what could you expect?—I was a strong, husky kid and only in my "But boxing, as we conduct it today, makes men of our race. It develops self-reliance, courage, strength on it being taught in the schools. If a man knew how to fight he wouldn't quarrel because he would be so sure of himself that he would be able to fight lessness. Boxing is the real test. It brings out all the weak places in a man and teaches him to build up where he is lacking. The day the only thing that worried us was whether our hands would last. In a fight a man would say, If my hands only last Till whip this feltless, I would have a padded glove, with tape and grips inside the gloves. Today there are few knockouts when two good men are in reach or skill. In a real staggering blows are landed, if a knockout does occur it is because one man has a great advantage over the other in reach or skill. If the California voters in killing the great science out there. They don't know what they've done—they don't know. The man can apply and prosperous. I can't under- stand it. I'm glad to hear you say that the bill was outvoted in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and that it was only four years after the election president of the independent circuit declared that no move, direct of other- federal League or authorized represent STILL GRIL "In my time all we could hope for in the way of purses was $1,000 to $2,000. I had a fight with a fellow student who was a great fighter he was. We fought near Philadelphia—bare knuckles. He gave me most of these scars in that fight. He closed both my ears and put them on for months, and it was six months before I recovered from the effects of that beating. He is still alive, 76 years old. He was a great fighter year at the funeral of a relative of mine. I hadn't seen him in twenty years. He's the best friend I have to have. He's not faking I'm going over there to see him. "We took care of ourselves. That's what we hate and frisky, let my men be frisky and frisky, let ends won't last. I met a good girl—the mother of this large family. She was. But about Murray. What a hitter he was! He was older and it told on me. He hurt me more in that fight in any other ever fought. And in my life I never fought a structurer, I'll bet that I've taken more punishment than a dozen women. I'll never forget Murray. We were arrested after that fight. I wanted to be locked up in the same cell with Jim, but the jailer said: "Nothing doing." "We both laughed. I couldn't see Jim, but I reached out and took his hand. I didn't know he haven't we? I asked. Jim vowed we had. It was three days before I could pry open one of my eyes. I was happy the man was pry open. "Ned O'Baldwin was a great fighter. He could have whipped any man that ever lived. So could Charlie Gallagher. He could have whipped any man that the greatest of their time. O'Baldwin was 6 foot, 6 and weighed 210. He could vault a fence or do anything a man could do in a brawl in 1876. I chummed with O'Baldwin. Isn't it funny that a big fellow always chums with a little fellow? Fitzsimmons was a great fighter—wonderful and unbeatable at the height of his adam. He was son was their superman. He could have whipped that wonderful boxer, Peter Jackson, too. Tommy Ryan told me that the only great fighter that ever admitted it, a good white man can't whip an equally good negro. The reason he was so good was he heard: You can't jar his head, Mike; he said. You can't break your hands on his skull and not even make him laugh. It is impossible to make him groggy. "The truth of the matter is, a negro is too near the animal kingdom and a white is too sensitive to pain—some more than others, of course. Take Jim Corbett—all nerves—he couldn't stand the tough he had nothing to fear in Sullivan. He whipped John L. that night, and certainly a dozen fighters, myself included. Just fighters sometimes tremble before a fight. I watched Tom Allen before he fought McCool. You would have thought he had the ague. It was a terrible fight. Jim McAfee was the same way. When they once got in action they were all smiles and coolness. Just around one night and Jim Hasslin was trying to coax Jack McAuliffe not to be a fighter. I stepped in and said: "This kid is cut and he is not a fighter. What will he ever get making barrels?" Jack stuck and was our greatest lightweight. Jim Hasslin became the New York Athletic club afterwards. too "Jim Hall was another great fighter. He knew everything. Did you ever notice the trick used by an old-timer to lift a left foot up by he advances. They fought in the old days with spiked shoes and lifted the left foot up so he could lift the right spikes. That's why the old-timer can't get over the habit of lifting his foot. Joe Goss was the greatest bodybuilder of his time, the gem of them all for cleverness. The only men I ever saw who fought like him were Joe Gans and Billy Edwards; they used so little ring space—and how they could time a punch!" FOOTBALL GATHERING THEM IN —EIGHT DEATHS ALREADY. ST. LOUIS, October 22.—Bryan Scott, of Omaha, injured in the St. Louis-Kansas football game he died at the St. Louis city hospital late yesterday. Scott was injured while making a tackle. He struck the opposing player with his head and dislocated vertebrae in his head. He needed the death of Scott makes eight football fatalities this season. There were two injuries, including one after the season closed. JOHNNY TERRY'S CHALLENGE. NEW ORLEANS, La.-Johnny Terry, colored lightweight of New Orleans, La.-Johnny Terry, colored good lightweights. Terry has fought some of the good boys down here, including Kid Washington, a 19-round match in a New Orleans. Terry prefers John Brown and could play match with Kid Washington or Buddy Padge. Bar none at the weight. Address Johnny Terry, 548 South Ramsey Street, New Orleans, La.-Kid Green, manager. THE JOHNSON-GREEN MATCH, MEMPHIS, TENN., OCT. 22. The Johnson-Green match resembled that Red Sox-Phillip outburst also, and nothing got by Green, Jack Sox, and ribs, kids, stomach, stomach, and nose as blockers for jabs, uppercuts and slings, all sides of this ebony-hued son of the ring. He thought the entire Johnson family was after him at the same time, and that Leo especially had a bucket-of gloves which he was continually dashing into his club, chin-fisted, and surprised a fervently extent, but wise wises wereent, for the real bug knows that Leo is one of the players in the game, no hues being barred. EXORBITANT EXPENSES UNDO ING OF ATHLETES NEW YORK, October 22—Abel R. Kliviat and Harry Smith, both members of the Olympic team which swept the gold medal in the day had their registration cards canceled by the metropolitan registration committee and were declared ineligible for the tour sports. It is charged they received exorbitant expenses for journeying to Schenectady to participate in games there. As a middle distance and one mile runner, is probably one of the best known athletes in America, while Smith has held the national ten-mile and indoor two-mile championship titles.

He addressed an open challenge to Palmer to meet him in his own town, New Orleans, managers and promoters of that city. Mears will present the winner with a women's middle-wideweight championship of the world. FED LEAGUE NOT SUING FOR PEACE, SAYS GILMORE. NEW YORK, October 18—Organized baseball politics, and not prospects of peace, has brought unfounded reports of the Federal League's immediate amitation of the players. In a statement by James A. Gumore, the president of the independent circuit declared that no move, direct of otherwise, had been made by the Federal League and had represented representatives along peace lines. "The Federal League club owners who went to Philadelphia and Boston" were not chasing any officials who do organize. We wanted to see the games, and being broad enough to recognize the fact that the national sport may be played on a field other than Federal League teams, we were there as fans to see the games. WILBERFORCE SQUAD, GREEN AND GOLD, ROUNDING INTO SPLENDID FORM. Wilberforce, O., Oct. 21, 1915. The Freeman Pub. Co, Indianapolis, Ind. Dale Snyder Please permit me to say concerning the Wilberforce University football team in the game this week, rounding into splendid form under the watchful eye of our new coach, Prof. Horace Preston, who is putting the team on the road.

October 30th Wilberforce will meet for the first time in history Fisk University, on their grounds, in Nashville, Tenn. The following week they will play at the University of College, in Charleston, W. Va. and close the season by playing the tough college university squad at Wilberforce. They hard work for old green and gold. BATTLING MEARS PLANS COL ORED CHAMPIONSHIPS. Battling Mlears, popular heavyweight of Moultrie, Ga., is behind a project to promote bouts between colored champions and to recognize colored champions in the various divisions. As none of white men holding the various championships will meet Negro boxers, Mlears has concluded that the colored boxers are not yet anywhere near ready to confine themselves to boxing pugilists of their own color. It is Mlears' idea to hold a big carnival in the near future, and to have bouts between colored boxers in the various classes. These will be in the nature of elimination contests, and the winners in each division will be considered the colored champion of that class. Mears is of the opinion that this will greatly help the boxing game, at least by providing training for boxerscerned. According to Mears there are a number of fighters in each class claiming the colored championship. If Mears then goes through the training, he will be known to present confusion, relative to the title, ended. Mears is anxious to have all colored fighters trained in the country aid him in bringing success to his project. Mears' address is Moultra, Ga. If you are interested in this project, write him at once. RATTY AND SON RUMPET GO FAST EIGHT ROUND DRAW. (By Chas. Stewart.)

This fight has convinced everybody in this part of the country that a boy with terrible pain Goodrich must have felt has certainly won championship quality in him. Now if boxing had not been killed we would have brought in some of the best fighters in the country, but as it is we would like to have some of the promoters stage this boy in a bout. He will fight anyone at his weight. Will he glad to fight actively you will vote him a sensation. All he needs is the right chance. I believe he can beat anyone at his weight.

Will preside and Instructor A. & A. Club, 503 East Commerce street, San Antonio, Texas. Bore of Seattle a Wonder It is hardly likely that the major league scouts will overlook Bill Rose of Seattle, for this big boy has been doing some wonderful pitching. He started out by losing six or eight games in a row. Since then he has been invincible and has registered a dozen straight wins. Spodgrass Possessed Nerve. One who was there says that before signing with the Braves Snodgrass went to Brooklyn and offered his services to the Brookfield for two years for $13,000. This, it is said, gave the Wards the biggest laugh they have had this season. STILL GRILLING CONNIE MACK Experts Continue to Pound Athletics' Pilot and His Team. MAY FOOL 'EM NEXT YEAR. Leader of Philadelphia Americans Has Been Known to Handle Weak Team One Season and Then Put Fear In Other Clubs the Following Season. Other Notes. Never before has the term "White Elephants" been so applicable as it is today in the case of the Athletics. Mahout Cornelius McGillicuddy has the cheapest baseball club in the major league world, but it is doubtful if he has made enough kale to settle the feed bill of his pachyderms. Philadelphia has turned its dorsal exposure toward Mr. Mack and his team. The face of Connio after a four game series in Philadelphia between the Athletics and Browns looked just like a world's champion dill pickle. For only the park employees and a few regulars, who called more to get the Phil's score than to see the game, attended the pastiming of the once famous pennant machine. A world of spleen must embitter the club's owners when they think how the city neglected the club when it was a world's championship team and then forgot it entirely when an endeavor is being made to give the fans something new and, in time, better than the old. But there is no manana for the fan—only today. When tomorrow comes around, if you happen to be up there fighting for the flag, they may patronize you. But in the meantime, nothing doing. If Mack's outfit is a first division team next year, then, according to 1915 dope, won't the Brown's have a double wrap on the world's championship? When a man manages a ball team after his playing days are over it is very wise for him to confine himself to those duties and not attempt to break into the actual playing of the game. Nothing turns the fans quicker against a leader than when he uses poor judgment regarding himself. Bill Donowan of the New York Americans is not apt to ever finish a game again for his team. His experience the other day when, with his team three runs to the good, he took out Brown Harry Wolverton made a similar mistake while in charge of the New York club. He put himself in as a pinch hitter on several occasions and invariably struck out. Naturally, he got in bad. The wise manager lets his players do the playing, even if he feels that there is some baseball left in him. The resignation of Fred Clarke from the management of the Pittsburgh club was to be expected. Clarke has been in baseball since 1894, every year of which he has spent in the employ of Barney Dreyfuss. He has been a most successful manager, but he has also been able to make some very good investments, thanks to the aid of his employer, and is today one of the wealthiest men in baseball. Clarke has tired of being active in the sport. Being away from his Kansas ranch every year most of the time no longer suits him, and it was only because it pleased Dreyfuss that he remained with the club for the past few years. It was Fred Clarke who first approached Walter Johnson in behalf of Griffith, after he had jumped to the Feds. He paved the way by a visit to the Johnson home for Manager Griffith to confer with him last winter, as a result of which Johnson returned to the Nationals' fold. George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns has found the Mackenmen's pitchers much to his liking, getting ten base hits in four games. Sisler is playing first base for the Browns and is showing himself to be the find of the season. There seems to be no position on the team that he cannot fill satisfactorily, and with an average of over the .300 mark he is showing that American league twirlers are not troubling him. Sisler was a much sought after player while he was with the Michigan university team. Read The Freeman for all news all of the time.
