Delivered Before Citizens of Lexington, Ky., at Memorial Meeting Held at First Baptist Church, Under Auxiliary of the University of Kentucky. O. E. Jones, D. D., Pastor St. Paul's, A. M. E. Church, Lexington, Ky. (By Hardin Tolbert.) After appropriate salutation the speaker said; Above all other things that he was in, he was a man of devotion yet tremendous, impressive simplicity. Almost his final charge was one against ostentation and pomp. It carried out his duties as a fancier. On Wednesday morning, while the body of the "Wizard of Tuskegee" reposed among the floral arrangements, he was still applying and two others paid simple tributes to his life and works, closing all in less than two hours. Thus the tomb was moved to a new location, live in the hearts of untold generation; yes to live until history pages shall have crumbled into dust: until generations shall cease to tell the story of the man. In 1858 or thereabout, this boy without a name was born. He said of his birthplace, "My birthplace was near the river, it was about as near to nowhere as any locality gets to be. What cared he for nowhere, the same conscience as Booker T. made him in after life work under the thought that "Each soul contains at any and every page of its life, and the prophecy of its own future." He gave a Tuskegee for the masses, he gave a handshake, his presence gave the students of his institution an inspiration. Some of the students within my hearing this afternoon, though their eyes were glued to his presence, within their hearts when they think of the many kindnesses shown them the personal contact. Great was his a member of the Baptist church, God fashioned him for the Church Triumphant. As I was going to leave Lengerton ago, we met by chance in the depot at St. Louis, after a friendly hand grasped an exchange of salutations that contained a duty of thanks, a duty for race, in his own particular sphere. There was his soul, his all was there, he always spoke so tenderly to his family and paid such high tribute to his mother's memory, and like all THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. great men he possessed an eternal value. Every phase of life felt his presence. Every phase of life felt his mechanic, the church man, the business man, the farmer, even the man without a work shirt, were known to him. He would not for the negro alone, but for the American nation, nay more he wrought for the negro. As a star in the realm of achievement his magnitude was great enough to shine in both hemispheres. Without faltering he followed his purpose to the end, dying amid the splendors of glorification. He was a master of nature in material shape something that was living in his inner life." God deemed it best to take him from his native nation, from his work and had him rise. The angel or ordinations and destinies will write his name high up on the CHAMPAIGN, ILL.

DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you of the effect of my liver treatment. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be necessary. I was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of gemini stones. My friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CATT, F. M.

You'll be sorry if you miss the great, grand issue, the exposition number of The Freeman. The forthcoming exposition number of The Freeman will be a pictorial beauty. And in all other ways it will be as advertised—an issue that will be representative of the progress of the race up until the present time. Young John Mitchell, of the Richmond Planet, is very evangelistic, or Billy Sundayish. Here is one of his late ones: "When we get to heaven we shall not want to tell God all about it. He will tell us more than we can tell Him." The upper Carolina conference of the Methodist church south, white, on November 29th, voted down a resolution of protest against President Wilson's policy of preparedness. The Methodist believe in fighting as well as shouting. They believe, at any rate, in being ye also ready. Charleston, the A. B. C.s baseball player, is getting plenty free advertisement anyhow. Ain't it funny? Got to do a whole lot of good to attract attention. Charleston struck an ampire; it flew all over the country. Ain't quarrelling, just observing. They put him off in Cuba. It got him some more mention. This is Christmas month. Think of it! Years ago those days were the "sign posts" of ages. In these days when we are older and have so much to think about and do it seems to come on horseback. Never ready for Christmas is a heartfelt saying. The rich do not need Christmas particularly, that is, for themselves. They have it every day. They do need it, however, for the good they do by dispensing cheer to the world that is not doing so well. In fact we imagine they get something out of it for themselves through their formal courtesies. Money can not create that peculiar delight that arises from receiving a present—millionaires not excepted, we presume. Human nature is about the same in the most of us. It is said that the white people of Arlington, Texas, became very wryly because a little Negro girl kissed the Liberty Bell. Prompt action on the part of the police prevented a mob. There may be no truth in it. We say this out of the spirit of charity. True enough the Liberty Bell was not cracked especially in our favor. And yet it may be that it played a larger part in our affairs than can be directly traced to it. It and the Declaration of Independence were like nightmares to the American conscience, to the conscience of men that thought. They would not down until they thoroughly ruled their domain. We should not be worried by the kissing incident. There are ten thousand more localities where the act of the child would have been applauded. So in the averaging we are way ahead. The National Equal Rights Convention will convene in Philadelphia the week of December 19, and including December 18, which is the 5th anniversary date of the enactment of the 13th amendment to the general constitution. The league was organized in 1908 owing to the Brownsville incident, since which time it has been persistent in opposing the inroads being made on Negro freedom. The week of December 19th will be known as Freedom Centennial Week," the special object of which will be to call attention to the 13th amendment which says: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. The international court docket is growing heavy. The latest is the Austrian submarine incident with its very similar features. It is very probable that the same process of reasoning will fit all of the cases. It is not necessary for our country to become bellicose concerning such accidents as long as they are not intended insults. Such a course, it is true, does not restore lives or treasures; but what's to be done? We take it that a civilized nation would no more think assaulting another nation without cause, or, at least, announcement, than a civilized individual would assault another. As much as can be done is to protest and demand reparation. We do think a civilized nation would no more repudiate its obligations to civilization than a civilized individual. We have in mind the correct minded individual such as the majority of the citizens are. Our country is lucky indeed that it is not embroiled in war in spite of what Mr. Roosevelt says. He sees things from his own viewpoint, and of course, is entitled to speech, and a hearing by those who are willing to listen. The life of a crushed and deprived country is a battle of war to the mother. There is no place on the program for war in civilized countries. War rarely is a neces- sity, and in time it will be as useless as we of this country have learned to view it. Mr. Roosevelt cites the woes of the world anent the present European war, trying to shame this country into the unexpected attitude of the guardian of the world's peace. If we were busy over the world righting wrongs as Don Quixote thought he found it incumbent on him to do we would end quite as disastrously as he did. An intermediary must be prepared to back up his demands or quit the job. The old world is not in for American overlordship, and the moment we begin we will be beset by the whole European outfit. Our days of peace are beautiful. Beautiful are the coming feet of those that publisheth peace, is the substance of an expression from the Bible. It is no less true today. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HOLIDAY. A Booker T. Washington national holiday has been suggested. Most of us, the colored people would like such a thing. But it is by no means certain that the country, irrespective of races, would take to it. That there will be annual recognition of the late Dr. Washington goes without saying. The manner of observing a day in his memory, we think, should be left to the localities just as we do concerning the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation. It will be admitted that many localities of colored people fall to pay attention to Mr. Lincoln's great act, but there is no way to compel uniform recognition. Nor should there be any and all conescence are efficiently compelling if there is disposition to take note of them. Perhaps it is not best to be constantly reminded of the past unless it has been glorious, contributing either in prestige, or more substantially to the good of the present. At another time we called attention to the Emancipation Proclamation observance, saying similar to what we are now saying. It is true of our race as it is of the white race, neither are interested in a past that contributes nothing to the present good. The blue books of the aristocracy are consulted for honorable mentions of ancestry. All peoples, all families have the blue book touch. We ransack the past only in the hope of finding something to boost our claim to equality of consideration if not superiority at the present time. Nevertheless we would be very ungrateful if we permitted the Emancipation Proclamation to escape our memories altogether. It is good at times to think of the escape from the old housing, the old environments as a gratulatory thing to ourselves and as a matter of thankfulness to the author of our present status. As it concerns the educator and leader, we, with practically one accord concede that what he did was good, as was the Master Builder's reflection when he created the world and all things in it. He brought into being institutions and concerns which have to do with those things that will always endure. His industrialism is no more or less than the industrialism of the world. He brought it in compact form, setting it before his people, telling them to look and live as Moses commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness. Nor did he stop here; the foundation being laid, we will say he begun that beautiful and fitting superstructure—the National Negro Business League—which gave support an impetus to every avenue of business known to him to people. Following this he threaded the nation, carrying the gospel of civic helpfulness along with that of industrialism, and that of commercialism, spreading the light as an aurora of the skies, making for a racial entirely which could not be successfully assailed. We state all this to show that we need not be ashamed of anything he did. We need not fear to look backwards as it concerns his works. They were not linked with degradation as it might be said of the Emancipation Proclamation. The racial pedigree is rich and honorable in the instance, and jovian in the conception. As it concerns the world, the white people, Dr. Washington's idea was like a great unworn mine. He showed his products and told his theories; the man who was a man, was a man, and the world came abounding to his feet honoring him like another Gamaliel. With all of this in his favor together with the expressed testimonies of his worth at his death we can rest assured that he comes in for our consideration for all time to come. We would not wish to see a day "rigidly" set apart for observing his memory nationally, unless there were certain disposition to have it so. We are afraid that there would not be oneness of feeling that there should be, the result being, at times, omissions, which would appear like studied neglect. It is well to suggest the day, advising the people to use their judgment for what they would do, just as Dr. Washington advised about celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of Negro heritage. The colored people, doubtless, will keep his memory green forever, until his name becomes as traditional as that of Romulus of Rome or Theses of Athens. We could scarcely expect this of the white people. So let us do the thing that means undoubted respect, a voluntary annual memorial in honor of the distinguished dead. OPPORTUNITY. There is an expression going about in the world that opportunity knocks at every man's door one time, the inference being that if one fails to seize the occasion he is done for, forever. Really the thought, that follows reflection on the proposition, is, that opportunities rarely come, and that it is up to the individual to make good when they do come. Moreover the idea is in an advisory sense, teaching the young and, per haps, thoughtless, that it is best to make hay while the sun is shining. Some are not so liberal as to view it that opportunity comes often. These stick to the letter, insisting that it comes only once, and that there's nothing doing, positively, when it is unheeded. J. J. Ingalls, when seaking on the subject, has "Opportunity" to say as follows: "Master of human destinies am I— Fame of man and fortune on my footwear was Cities and fields I walk. I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and pass- Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock, unbidden, once at every gate. If sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate. "And they who follow me, reach every Mortals desire, and conquer every foe THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Condemned to failure, penury and woe 266. Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore I answer not, and I return no more. The latter is so rapturous in stating his belief that he nearly persuades one to think as he does. And he may be entirely right when it comes to the very great aims and ambitions of men which in the accomplishment have illumined the world. It was fortunate for Napoleon that he was in when the call came. It was fortunate for George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, and Julius Caesar. These men fit in the Ingalls philosophy very well. The man and the moment were essential in their cases. But for the lesser men they are not governed by such a high binding law. We rather see it as Walter Malone views it, when he says: "They do me wrong who say I come When once I knock and fail to find you in." For every day I stand outside the door And bid you wake to ride, to fight to win. "Wail not for precious chances passed away" "Weep not for golden ages on the wane!" Ench night I burn the records of the At this beautiful juncture one feels to throw in some kind of exclamatory word—Selah—or something else. We are afraid, however, Malone has carried us too far the other way. The spirit of poesy was on him and he could not resist the terrific onrush of thought and expression. It is devoutly to be wished that the records of each day are burned, and that we could start in with a clean bill in the morning. And we dare say there is an element of sureness in what the poet says. Some men are born again in the morning succeeding some day of defeat and disaster—born anew through their resolutes to assault the fortress of opposition with success. Resolving is the better thing, and if accompanied with a hang on, bull dog courage, which has not "fail" anywhere writ things has not "grown" away. All men who have not "sinned" away their days of grace can be born again each day, in a manner. It is impossible, in spite of the poet's beautiful lines, for us to be totally reconstructed, situations and all. Old perplexities are often born each day, rising with us to haunt us each day like Poe's Raven, evermore. But all men do not have ravens, and it is not the exceptions that are referred to. Then by a sort of poetical license it might be admitted that men get up every morning with a clean bill, or one materially changed, if they will see it that way. The poet goes on speaking of "Opportunity""; "My judgment seals the dead past with its, dead. But never binds a moment yet to come." Here again we ought to have music or something by way of applause. What a blessed expression! We do not say thought for it may be false. The judgments of "Opportunity" "never binds you to come." If you were true! Ingalls has "opportunity" say, if sleeping get up, if feasting, cease, for if I turn away, calling is in vain—you have spent your natal hour. Continuing Malone says: No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise again and be a man." The two doctors are extremists. We may, however, conclude that opportunity is omnipresent, perhaps, not each morning anew, but often enough to establish the rule that we are not with out it. We prefer the latter "message" that of Malone; his high colors drive home some outstanding truths derects to many of us, and so who much need them. No dullard will read his glowing words without at least takinghoose in mind not in activity. Many words had hardly expected the truth of his words will take courage, making whole in resolution by the confirmation of their own timorous beliefs.

Washington, members of the Brunswick Tuskegee club, an organization composed of graduates and former students of the university, terminated that as they had loved and followed their chieftain in life, they would befittingly honor him in death, and with an earnestness characterized by them.

While filling a successful engagement at the Standard at Philadelphia playlet entitled Last Night, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Gibson, the most eminent local manager in show business. He spoke in the room and offered me the cast of co-workers. He also presented me with a very complimentary article on the role of the supermarket claim the act to be the best ever played to colored people and insisted that Mr. Gibson would do well to keep the company in a near future. Mr. Gibson has arranged for a long engagement to begin in a near future. As a result, he was engaged in the Lafayette "scandal" of which I was proud of. As the conversation brought out the facts about the cancellation of the playlet, I had little trouble in convincing me that he was absolutely against the outrageous actions of the masterly these young men handle their different solos.

Russell and Thompson was right to a certain deal on the "dobule crossing," he threw open the doors of his massive safe and produced Morganstantern's telegram re-issued on the "dobule crossing," he said: "You see they did not tell me you. And furthermore, it was almost as great a surprise to me to see Morganstantern and Walton, as it was to hear of them canceling you, as only a few days had passed since they refused to pay the money was about to shadow "Darkyodon" which it finally did, they flew to me because they knew that the old re-issue would be self, with nothing more than motion pictures, better than some house in adjacent cities could with a 50-people team, and when the proposition was brought to me, I first refused, and when it came again, we played Broadway Rastus." We never about the cancellation until a mutual friend called me up and said they have a hump why, he said that he could not tell, because the show was a cracker jack. Then he called up others and why I booked you in my house in face of the transaction, and I am glad I did it, as your acts are meritorious and meet with favor from any audience."

Charles Davis, of Goggin and Davis, Acrobats. Charles Davis departed this life Friday, November 19, at 1 p.m. m. in the Chicago office of the 11th, where he had to be sent after his arrival to Chicago from New York, where he had been sent from London, England, by the American consul, prior to his arrival in Chicago. A. E. H. Davis was born in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and came to Chicago and went into the show business at the age of 12, and at Eddie Goggin, made their professional debut as acrobats at White's London Museum, State street, Chicago. They afterwards played at the Eddie Goggin, made their professional students was the first road company in which they traveled. When the Black Patti Troubadours were organized, they were known as the queen and an electric success, which gave them a permanent place as vaudeville headliners where they earned as much as $250 per week. When they were young, they got as much booking as they wanted and done as they pleased. Charles Davis at this time was rated as the most adroit dancer and tumbler on the show, known as the greatest acrobats. Davis was not only the speediest dancer and tumbler on record, but his comedy and makeup as an eccentric clown-tramp performer could not tell the team was colored owning to Charles Davis make-up, and JOHN B. HARRIS Eddie Goggin who dressed as an athlete was so light in color that he looked like white and was said to be the handsome aces of the game, vans in combination companies with Sam T. Jack's Creoles, John Wisham's Octoberoons, Williams & Walker's Westside Minstrels. They also made three trips abroad. While in Europe about twelve years ago, Eddie Goggin was obliged to leave his part and return to his home in New York, but did not permit him to ever return to his partner and he later died at Washington, D. C. The loss of his partner Charles Davis, who had lived a life of luxury, that he never survived from the combination of effects which gradually eroded his character, married. His first wife was Maggie Davis, the actress, and his second wife was Lexta Harper, who died a few years later. Mr. Davis was 44 years of age. NOTES OF THE DIXIE COMEDY FOUR.

The shooting of a colored boy thief of 17, in which the bullet passed through his body above the heart and penetrated the chest of 65, who died instantly, by a colored policeman new on the force, was a most pathetic incident. Federal streets. Whenever a boy makes up his mind to be a thief he becomes a criminal who must take chances on his life, and must be authorized for an authoritative investigation, the boy was running and would not stop at the command of the policeman and when he stopped he must just be the policeman had pulled the trigger. There were three boys in all who had been stealing goods from a store, and the policeman helped them. The other boys escaped. I was two blocks away and appeared on the scene as the police patrol pulled up. I could see the police officer, who helped him to the wagon. There are four features in this tragedy, which call for comment, rebuke and advice are specified and exacted as follows: First—However pathetic the case may be, the boy's life was a sacrifice as for crooks and murderers don't help society and does not protect innocent people. So the police and detectives must be armed, and the civilians are at stake for the people. Public safety must be upheld, and weapons a thing that the heathen heads of the police department don't understand. The command in the department should urge the police to be practical. In shooting at the criminals who run, they should be shot in the leg only. So the heads of the criminals are not blamed for the innocent woman's life. Third—The naroling of thieves and murderers in Chicago does not do it in the East. The limit sentences of from one to fourteen years, and the like, is too lenient for the thieves and murderers should have but one sentence, as light as possible for the crime, and serve the time. The lenient people are lenient to safety and their pardon should be had only in a very few cases and then only by the governor of the Fourth—the report of the affair in the daily newspapers showed that the colored policeman did not threaten the parties who got shot were colored. The report must have been given to the press in that manner, or, worse, the police would have single think that a colored policeman had harshly shot two white people. The boy's address was given as Michigan avenue, where all white people live, I presume for the same purpose. The funeral of Charles Davis, the great acrobat of the prosperous Knight & Davis, took place last Sunday morning at 11 a.m. m. in the taking company. Rev. Dr. William Chapel of the Emanuel Jackson under-Gray, of Butler Mission, officiated and was the performers of the immoral flow which he directed, and spoke words of comfort to all.

Billie Young did nicely in her specialization of the Me. James Callaway in "Dandy Oat" and Billy Ewing's "Whipporwill" and the latter's card manipulation deserve mention. Many others get good hands. The chorus work was all that could be asked for, both in volume and harmony, and the dangling was of the toy variety, a variety of the same. The show claims little as to novelty, it is a well-rounded aggregation and gives audiences. It becomes stronger as it is welded together more firmly and is seasoned by experience. Mr. Miller is the best of the three, and let it alone until it stands for the best there is in him as a playwright. The show is to have three weeks in Philadelphia, and it will be for South. It did well at the Lafayette in New York, and went even better here. The way Rastus' is worth seeing and hearing, and is really one of the big productions of the year. A New Protean Act and Comedy-Dramn. Word comes from New York City that the well-known vaudeville team Fiddler and Byron Shelton, the realm of the semi-legitimate. These accomplished singers, dancers and impersonators will produce at a metropolitan house at an early date their edgy-drama, entitled "The Question of Race, of the Blood Test," dramatized from a book of a similar name. The team presents a cast and with such specific effects, the production is to be entirely original, containing nowhere a suggestion of anything heretofore attempted by our creators. Messrs. Harry Fiddler and Byron Shelton, who constitute this unique and thorough-going team, are wide-legged and have a great opinion that now is the time for the Negro to shake off hackneyed methods and shelf-worn ideas and branch out into more pretentious field. Hence the drama. Fiddler and Shelton are natives of Indianapolis, which makes the proud boast that he has given more op-lin-ing to Negroes than any other city in the country. Movements of the Player Folk Miss Daisy Martin and Sellman and Rhone are at Dudley's this week. The bill at the Howard embraces the Two Rowsons, Buster and Bailey, and Edelweiss and Baron Arsenian. Vincent Thomas as assistant manager is holding things down in fine line, but delivers the goods and is well liked by the people on the stance and in the front of the house. He is a clean cut business man. Robert Hilliard (white), is to be here soon in his new play based on the color line, entitled "The Pride of Race." Clarence Logan business manager of "Broadway Rastus," put in the week here, but was far from well, being troubled with a neuralgic face. His old friends were glad to see him. Leigh Whipper, an old Washington boy, was given a royal welcome. He knows this the way the school question, the an- 5 pointment of Minister Curtis and the "Black Cabinet," were particularly enjoyable. His chatter about the Forest Service brought down the house, as well as the "hole" that a much-criticized school official is destined to go into an early date. Mr. Whipner is one of the best-suited stage craftsmen in the business. ... Better order at our theaters is asked for by patrons who pay their way into the playhouses, to enjoy the show and the entertainment. We ask of frivolous persons who happen to be sitting near them. Do they wish to be bothered by the catcalls and loud guffaws of coarse individuals who image themselves? The amount of discordant noise made. If the managers will be firm enough to insist that these persons behave decently or be made to leave the theater, public will rise up and call them blessed. ROUTE. Broadway Rastus, Irvin C.

Seen and Heard while Passing By Salem Tutt Whitney With the Smart Set Co. It is not how long one has lived but how well. It is not the saying that counts for much but what one really accomplishes. Replying to Mr. Tolliver's lengthy tirade, I will say that my several times brother (P. & A. M. K. of P.), the first genuine laugh I have had for weeks. Mr. Tolliver is not only a successful manager of a very good canvass show, but a cememied of rare evidenced by his article in the Freeman I am confident that my position is too well established in the theatrical numerable friends to require an explanation or a defense.

I have been employed by the present management since 1904, and have had access to the books we record the record of our performers by them have received full recompense for their labor. In Montgomery, Ala., gave many members of our company an opportunity to see Mr. Tolvers show which was closing. All agreed that they had been enjoyably entertained. My brother, J. Homer Tolvers, presented a first-class appearance on and off stage; the outfit was very good and that the performance was full of "pep" and "ginger" from start to finish. . . . It were not amiss at this time to quote from the prolific pen of Miss Lai Van, the pretty and popular drama editor of the Amsterdam News, N. Y. "A new and improved Smart Set beats the darling of the theater this week.

"Bubber" White, a promising young comedian, is doing the lead comedy in most of the shows she's performed, local news critics hit him as a new find in the realm of comedy. Miss L. Della Watson, who has been christened the Ragtime man, is one of the very few real talented colored women in the business. For instance, in her single specialty, she opens with a classic song ("Her Bright Smile Will Haunt Me Still") and follows this with a rag ("Yellow Dog"). Can you beat it? Miss Vla Jackson, a very charming soubrette, gets her nightly, handling all the popular songs. America's very funny singing comedian, is there with the goods, and if his pipes hold out until he gets east, he is going to cause some stir behind.

Edition of The Freeman: To the Editor of the Freeman: I permit me space in your valuable book to permit me space in your my friends, performers and musicians about T. J. Culligan, of Culligan's Nashville Studios. I had the pleasure of being with his show for two years. We had a small room in the studio, filled with every week, and some of us were picked four and five weeks in advance. When Mr. Culligan would have a lot of time to do the would distribute it among the boys. On one serious occasion I needed to do something very suddenly, Mr. Culligan told me to phone him the next day. I called him at the hour he stated and he was there. He asked me if I needed any help with the phone, Mr. Culligan told me to use one hundred dollars. He had the bank to telephone the undertaker to give me a check for one hundred dollars, which he did. I returned to the bank and a week later Mr. Culligan paid me for the time I did not work. Can you beat my wish to say to all concerned that the show is clean, if you are a lady or gentleman—sober and reliable—Culligan's Nashville Students is the show. Mr. Culligan for two years, but I take the liberty to say what I do because I know a man when I have worked for him. THE STRAND THEATER, JACK SONVILLE, FLA. (By Ed. Ballard.)

What is of even more importance, the big crowd which watched the two seemed thorough in their performance, the two dusky boxers will get the maximum pecuniary reward promised them by the bout when the bout was arranged that the referee, Charley White, should report to the boxing room and that in case he thought the two boxers were not trying hard enough they could say to when the bout was over, but everyone seemed pretty certain that his report will be favorable, but over everyone seemed pretty certain that his report will be favorable, and Langford was the more aggressive. During the ten rounds McVey landed more blows than did Langford, but the boxing room said they would rob them. In the first three rounds it was McVey's cleverness that biff in rather disconcerting fashion. When the fourth round began, Langford became more aggressive and biff in the body which shook McVey to the foundations every now and then. The fourth, fifth and sixth rounds were The seventh was an even break, the best blow being a left hook to the jaw, which Langford's right hand McVey got in his best punch of the bout when a right swing with plenty of steam behind it landed on Langford's face a little too high. The bounce was straight right to the face bothered Langford a bit in the ninth, but didn't prevent him from cutting loose in the teeth with a rain of blows which kept Langford on his feet. The clean break rule was observed as well as could be expected of two boxers who were unnusual in a Both punch, and the opposite phase when they climbed out of the ring.

HOPPE HANDS OUT SOME GOOD ADVICE Says Control of Wrist Muscles and Patience Counts Heavily NEW YORK—"The person who wants to succeed in billiards must have perfect control of the distance, the perfect eye for measuring distance, and speed, .nd, above all else, he never must get careless." So says the Hoppe, the champion of champions in the cue world—the most wonderful billiard player in the game today. Hoppe has been playing the game since he was five years ago, he seemed to have reached absolute perfection. But every year since then he has gone beyond—has performed so brilliantly,—wonderfully that it has become a hallmark. "Carelessness has kept out of the championship class many men who who had wonderful natural ability. The greatest trouble with the average billiardist is that he grows careless with an easy shot before him; it is not his skill that makes him his career I saw the mistake that others made and I resolved that I always would exercise as much in playing an easy shot as hard one. "Perfect control of all the wrist muscles, in my mind, is the main control in playing an easy shot this control is acquired—and acquired fully—one can not become a real billiardist because, in critical moments in a game, the quickest and minutest muscles will lose a shot for a man. The moment of speed and distance really depend upon the muscular control. If a man has his muscles under control he can send a ball to the net, if he has his speed and distance calculations often go away." Hoppe changes his stance after every encounter with the man that rule, even though his succeeding shot is so simple that he could make it with his eyesclosed. Hoppe's theory is that the muscles a chance to slip back into their original position so that when he calls upon them as next to them they will readily formulate. "In my opinion," said Hoppe, "the draw she made is the billiard. When a player has reached the point where he has control and a good draw shot he is on his basis for all the variations of English. Hoppe declared that playing for position is the rule of billiards is simple, he said. "Keep the balls as closely together as possible, so that it will acquire position consistently needs the practices—and care. But one who is patient and well trained, acquiring whole seriously is sure to succeed. Hoppe leaped into international fame ten or eleven years ago, when he played the entire billiard world by beating Vignaux, the wonderful Frenchman. Hoppe was a winner—and the "wise ones" declared that his victory was a fluke. But events then have shown that he was a fluke victory; they have shown that Hoppe is the greatest billiard player of this age in the opin- A WEIRD FOOTBALL SEASON Difficult To Pick An All-American Team NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—The football season ended this week, will go down in gridiron history as the most wieder ever foisted on a gasping fighter. The Sacramento memorial the lawful meat of the big ones in the collegiate world, turned with the georgeous skill that I well known look like the Rock of Gibraltar. With the exception of Cornell and Pittburg, acknowledged peers of the eastern division, not an eastern team went through the season with a safe defeat by Virginia on October 2, the season was one long drawn out and of unexpected upsets. It followed the southerners and took a slap at the Blue. Then came Colgate with the same take. The team was beckoned by Syracuse and tied by Trinity, took a parting kick at the bewildered Cornell lined into Cambridge and --- went out with the scalp of Percy Haughton—the first time a Harvard player had played in football, Princeton, with the best Tiger eleven of a decade, was defeated by the Yale aggregation. Navy passed into the second division of football institutions by being licked by numerous small colleges. Lafayette came along and whipped Pennycake. **Post Machine Broken** In the old, west Fielding H. Yost has completed the most disastrous year of his career at Michigan verine institution, Michigan Aggies, Syracuse, Cornell—all took a whack at Michigan, the Aggies defeated in view of these events, all fantasies from coast to coast are waiting for the annual pun-an-All-American game. In the Michigan Aggies defeated Michigan, the Aggies were in turn licked by the Oregon Aggies, and they in turn were whipped by Washington State. Just how the experts, and particularly Walter Yale Camp, are going to select an eleven which represents an all-American team, or a dozen men, could not in a season view all the college teams in the United States. Washington State, the most successful Aggies certainly are to be considered. The year has been the most wizard in history. It's possible to pick an All-American team. For an All-American team in the middle west, an All-American team for the coast contenders, but an All-American team is not only impossible, but ludicrous. And this year, the team will witness the burial of this annual joke. STAR ATHLETIC CLUB, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (By Ed. Ballard.)

Billy Hooper, of Atlanta, Ga., and Arthur Worthy, of California, were the atlantic two weeks ago, and boxed to a capacity house, Billy Hooper being the winner. The Star athletic manager is very desirous of hearing from good boys.

Nov. 23—The Big Four Social Entertainers and Amusement Club staged the event, which was witnessed by nearly three thousand spectators. The crowd was equally divided, with laughter as being the most, followed by themselves the most. The champion was favorite; betting was very slow. Roux seems to have but a very few backers, while Johnson money was poulled. The boys were traveling at top speed from going to the stadium to himself more than any other glove clogger has done for some time. Roux was at sea up until the sixth round, when Roux's glove of Roux's led, turning loose that power with both hands, until he upset Roux's noodles and then him swinging Roux's glove, which came evened up matters and barely got a draw. We have and always had a field, in the Young Joe Jean-Laurent, who knocked them dead as fast as they come. He struck a snag last Tuesday night, when he struck the Green of Binghamton, Penn.

LEO JOHNSON DEFEATS ONE ROUND SYLVESTER. ST. LOUIS, Mo—Leo Johnson, Negro lightweight champion of the world, is illustrated by the gloves he conceded to twenty pounds to "One-Round" Sylvester of Tampa when he received defeated by the main event of the noon's boxing show at the Future Gym. Sylvester was on the defensive throughout and apparently was satisfied with remaining the eight full battles, but still battled, for time after time Johnson drew away from his heavier opponent in a fuller effort to induce to lead. Dixon Stops One. The semi-windup between "Kid" Yellow and "Battling Charley" was very intense in fourth round after several attempts on the part of the referee and speculated that "Kid" Yellow to use his right hand. Yellow broke his right arm at the time and he had to have sprained it during a sparing workout recently. He assured the referee before entering the ring that Charley was not going to blow with the right during the bout.

Ahearn then met to meet a naval Smith, but the latter regiment the agreement and sailed for America. --- NEW ORLEANS—Unless Frank Moran gets a hustle on and agrees by December to box, he will automatically eliminate himself from considering at the hands of the Messrs. Tortorich and Burns, and the Minnesota Giant, who owns the team. Kellar and Anderson, will be appointed for the herculean task of wrestling his title from Jess Willard. Fulton seems to be confident that his moters map out for him. His confidence seems to be unbounded. He knows he stands an excellent chance to win. He is willing and even anxious, according to Milwaukee experts, to go on with Moran in order to show that he is a contender. Moran has dodged and side-stepped the issue with both Fulton and Willard, if ever a fighter side-stepped a match. local promoters say. Cards, Dice!
