The 18th annual graduation of the New York Academy came to a successful close Friday night July 1st, when 20 qualified students received certificates and diplomas of graduation. It was one of the most beautiful classes in the history of the school, and their performance was witnessed by an interested group of 400 peor

of. b. F. Stalcup of New York University, was especially interesting in his address. He told of how industry and character meant so much in the great success of individuals who were decidedly above the average. He also put much stress upon what the group and each group should accomplish for themselves in a cultural way, and also the expression of the hope that the Academy would grow into a Junior College.
Miss Olive Manners, the honor student and the class valedictorian, was exceptionally good in her remarks, as was also Miss Carrie B. Jones of East Orange, in the Salutatory.
The class play was well acted by the students and received many glowing tributes. The playlet was "The Dress Rehearsal of Hamlet," and was directed and staged by Miss Ruth E. Roberts, head of the Typewriting Department.
Miss Olive Manners, the honor student, received the "Mrs. Gertrude B. Savory Award" for excellence in Business English; the "Mr. Clinton Brooks Award" for excellence in Typewriting, and the "Dr. Godfrey Nurse Award" for excellence in Shorthand

CARE OF STIES
A sty is one of the common infections of the eye caused by inflammation of one of the glands along the margin of the eyelid. Sties are usually not serious, but are often very painful and unpleasant. If they continue over a long period of time, they may be an indication of more serious trouble, and should be given careful attention.
The real cause is not known, but they are thought by many to indicate eyestrain of some sort. They occur in young children and should be sufficient reason for parents to have their children's eyes examined by a competent oculist.
Our eyes are very delicate organs and very useful ones. We should give them the best of care and not subject them to strain. Frequent headaches, stles, irritation of the eyelids, or any symptoms which lead you to suspect that your eyes need attention, should be reason to make you consult an oculist or eye specialist.

A birthday surprise party at the residence of Mrs. R. M. Woodley, 519 Throop avenue, given in honor of Miss Arline B. Woodley, was a success. She returned from Camp Prospect and her third year as a delegate of the Y. W. C. A. and President of the Carry On Club. Miss Woodley is one of our most popular society girls o. Brooklyn. The party was a brilliant affair and a wonderful crowd was assembled.

Sincerity is the only saving ele.
ment in any conscious endeavor.
Without sincerity one haa not a
savor to his work. Most of us
have wondered at some time why
it is or was that most all the traly
great composers came from the
German nation. It did seem a little
‘odd. Bat when one has aasociated
with this people and come to know
just what their mental attitude
‘toward music is, one will then
know why Beethoven, Brahms,
Bach, Mendelsohn, Schumann,
Schubert, Haydn, and almost all
the great names {fn musie are Ger
men, ‘The Germans take musie or

ously. All the musical instructors

art [s supposed not to be good for
certain types of . people. Then
there wes Paul Volkmann, operatic
tenor, who gave me my initiation
into the mysteries of song, and
laid the foundation for voice libera-
tion.
Some people wonder why it is
that most, or in fact all, the sue-
cessful singers of our group have
received their training from per-
sons from the other groups, and
there have heen heated discussions
at. times with regard to the same.

‘at the fect of unlearned and un

to the best appreciation of the pro-
fessional tutor among us is, the
fact that they are willing; to accept
mediocrity for art in a great many
cases. One makes a point by re:

in doing so, he is really cheapen-

amusement is on tapette Theatre this week. Peter's "Midnight Step-king dust in the eyes stra men and, unless are coming out on us and or judgment, they are the sweetest entertain- rved north of Columbus a month of Sundays. The 3 verve, color and humor and it's all rich and racy illized appetite could crave. olored "revues" are simp-
shows with vaudeville substituted for the in- tig & Seamon's music rockface comedian taking of the Dutch, Mick or median of the Columbia usually they let the colors girls dance the way and thus produce liveller than is the result of the can-can dancing of their s. It goes without say- lesque, when it is raw nough, frequently af- fhtful, belly-tickling
and of amusement. It is also ous that a well-done burlesque w is more interesting than a orly done revue; hence many of colored shows, in spite of their evitable crudeness, are full of ley hilarity. Nevertheless, burlesque, by its very nature, is a low orm of amusement and the best vehicle of that stripe is inferior to a fair to middling musical com- or revue.
EONARD HARPER'S Midnight pers is a genuine revue. It
none of the coarseness and aney-smell that clings to the general can of colored shows, and one can praise it without a card-index of reservations in the back of one's head. From the rise of the curtain on Mabel Nichols' Steamboat Sal number to its descent on Mary Pervall's Chicago Stomp, the show moves along as smart as a race horse and a sophisticated man need have no fear of causing his friends to suspect his intelligence when he says, "I like it."
MENTIONING the points of merit is merely another way of naming the members of the company. Blanche Thompson Glenn sings: "So Blue" in a manner that makes you feel that way only when she stops after several encores. The Dixie Quartette holds the stage several minutes over time with some pleasing harmony and clever shoe-shaking and when Cliff and Radcliffe unleash their logs and tune in with "Ain't She Sweet," it looks like the show is over. Radcliffe also uncorks an intrigueing brother-sister song specially all by his lonesome. The boy there!
AL MOORE, alternating Blanche Thompson and Freddie Washington dancing partners, displays a age full of class in the Spanish Shawl and a Chinese hop-house
number and winds up with a society Black Bottom as good as they make them. Both of these girls know their movements and neither of them missed anything when the Lord was handing out good looks.
GLENN & JENKINS are just too sweet. They are as competent a pair of clowns as ever diverted the Elks of Keith's Circuit, or delight- ed the farmhands and dairy maids of the Pantage's tank towns. Low- comedy in their hands is handled with efficiency and finesse. Their hooey is obvious enough to fetch the dull-wits and at the same time subtle enough to caress the ribs of the intelligent. As a sample of their double-barreled tobacco we offer Glenn's gag in which he asserts that it cannot be denied that Jenkins is something pertaining to a horse. The implication is, we gather, that his partner is the east end of a horse going west. Patter like that is what made brother Shakespeare's grave-diggers immortal.

AISLE SEAT MUSINGS
SOME GIRLS who call themselves the Running Wild Songbirds, consisting of Georgette Harvey, Lillian Cowan, Musa Williams and Clarrissa Blue, are doing a summer turn on the Fox-Loew local circuit. We hope that they make good and get an assignment on the
regular citizen in the call. We know the husband of one of the girls and if his wife gets a steady job maybe we will be able to borrow a little something from him.
. . .
WHY doesn't Leonard Harper hire Donald Heywood or somebody to write some special music for the Midnight Steppers, put eight more girls on the payroll and take it downtown and collect important dollars for it?
THE RUN of good shows at the Lafayette is getting tiresome. The last several reviews to appear on this page read like box-office blurb, and it ought not to be that way at all. Critics, Bulwer-Lytton would have said, are like knaves. They are flies that feed on, he sore part and would have no means of living if the body were in health. If Mr. Schiffman doesn't slip in a bum show pretty soon, we will have to take the matter to the Lord in prayer.
. . .
We HEAR that Donald Heywood is holding forth at the Lincoln. Incidentally, Lon Chaney is being shown there in Mr. Wu. It won't be long now before we run around there to listen to Mr. Heywood and take a peep at Mr. Wu. We feel rather ashamed for neglecting the Lincoln the way we have of late. It was one of our first loves.

Twilight Reverie
Friend Romeo Dougherty published a letter from Rollo Wilson the other week which turned our mind backward toward the Harlem of yesteryear. We descanted on the theme with appropriate sentiment but inexcusably neglected to mention a landmark of prewar Harlem to which some of our tenderest memories return. We refer to the cafe that huddled in the 182nd street side of the Lafayette building.
The old Lafayette stock company was flourishing then, and after the night performance, the more Bohemian members of the company would drift into the place for refreshments and gossip. Andrew Bishop, Charles Mores, Laura Bowman, Susie Sutton and Tom Brown, were among the nightly frequenters of the resort, and from 11 in the evening till 8 in the morning, they held a round table, which seemed to be a circle of sheer delight.
We say it seemed to be, because we were not included in the group. We were a lone gypsy in those days and our interest in stage folk was limited to casual curiosity. Our attraction which drew us to the place almost nightly, was the famous club sandwiches they serve there, although we must adverse to having the hot pepper ripple off. "What do you need to make these eyes at
Often we bought her a drink for it.
Getting back to the sandwiches, we believe they were the best club sandwiches ever created under Valhalla. They were extremely unorthodox and no doubt their construction violated every code in the sandwich book. The conventional club sandwich is double decked, but we have noticed that Aframerican chefs are partial to making them triple decked, and that is the way they were served in the place we are discussing. But it wasn't the size of the sandwiches that intrigued me, it was the ingenious way they were constructed. The chef, who compiled them was a master of his calling and not only were his sandwiches wholly unlike any other kind of club sandwich made, but each was delightfully different in composition from the sandwiches modeled by the same hand. Apparently he set about making each one with a mind entirely free of precedent and the result was a unique article, which ravished the palate with a delight never experience before and which would never be enjoyed again.
All sorts of unconventional things went into those sandwiches. Onions, pimentos, tomatoes, garlic, olives and you never could te what outlandish herb or sauce. By always it was something to gi the avula a new costany, son thing which, manhood but we
quaffs of Budw.oser, would make man feel like a brother of God. Lord! Lord! Those were the days before evil came into the world.

J. George S. Schuyler
Ten years ago the country was
warming with Four-Minute Men,
and it still is.
Then they were trying to save the country; now they are trying to save their reputations.
---
In the war days they bored and irritated their audiences; but always they have bored and irritated their wives.
The average woman would rather have no man at all than to have a Four-Minute man.
There are more homes broken up because of Four-Minute men than for any other reason.
It's a terrible disillusionment for a bride to learn that she can only depend on her hubby for four minutes.
These short-time boys often believe they are satisfying when they are merely aggravating.
Whenever you see a fellow who is always busy watching to see whether any one is biting him in the back, you can put him down immediately for a Four-Minute man. Competent practitioners never have to worry.
During the war the Four-Minute men depended upon their tongues to help bring victory, and they
Wives are somewhat like pick- and shovel contractors; they insist upon their men having strong backs and weak brains.
You often hear women say that they don't see what Mrs. So-and-So sees in her hubby. And frequently Mrs. So-and-So replies that she doesn't want them to see, either. In nearly every such case you can wager that no matter how ugly, ignorant or shiftless the man may be, he is not a Four-Minute man.
If men had to pass a physical test, devised by wives, before they could get married, there would be far more single men than there are.
The women say that it is all too true about the world getting weaker and wiser because every other man nowadays tucks a napkin into his pajama pocket instead of a bandkerchief.
In support of this contention are the statistics on prosperity recently collected, which show that there are more Americans taking their meals in bed than ever before.
And the Listerine people say that their sales are higher than ever, too.
No wonder so many women voted for Harding: they, too, believed in getting back to normalcy But the Four-Minute men won't cooperate.
Well, we competent bachelors should worry. After all, the Four gentlemen are our greatest benefactors—they save us from matri-

B. Burke was escorting a cute winsome little brown. Why don't we see her more often, Buddy?
The girls didn't look bad when they lined up on the edge of the lake to take that din. R. Swain proved that she really knows her "onlong" when it comes to swimming.
How does it happen that the "Hon." H. E. S. was among the missing at Lerksburg. We thought nothing got by him.
Why does Marcella encourage other certain barbers to wear Slave Bracelets. Be yourself, sheik.
Since J. Sally has his hair given by himself, it seems that he can't trust his personal barbers.
Roberta gave Al McK. the gate but it seems he still waits on 122nd street to see if she passes with any other sheik.
We were supposed to "dish" Marc. this week, but he is about to become a member of the D. F. C., so we won't. We mean marriage.
Since Dottie S. and Ethel B went on that auto ride with R. M. K. and Buster, they won't speak. Did you walk, girls?
We wonder why the Red Bank "Tattler Man" spends more time in Harlem than in Sea Bright? Small's club and the Lafayette Theatre would be lonesome without him there. Slimming and Messing Around seems to be his forte, so watch out little girlie by the Sea.
Vernon writes that she is going to join a show to be a chorus girl.
Charlie wants to get drunk before he blabs about Beaty. She seems to be well suited, boy.
Mrs. C. H. sent V. T.'s husband the love letter V. sent her husband and got a reply, now V's joining the show.

WILLS TO BATTLE
Harry Wills, the famous "Brown mother," will attempt a "converse" next Wednesday night, when it will be through the ropes to the battle to Paolino Uscudun, the hungry Hyena," at Ebbets Field. We say that ole Harry is to have a come-back, but not exactly in the fullest sense of the expression, for Harry to our way of see it, has never went anywhere politically speaking, to have to go back. We Agure it a sort of pseudonic stunt or an escape from a Fascistic Elba.
We never conceded that Wills was really a great fighter, we have never said that he was far and distant the glass of the heavy concentration of the past five years. When one stops to peruse the record books, discovering the

True, while age no doubt has burden him of some of his speed, pressure and the cobwebs of time have clouded his fighting brain, but nevertheless, that uncanny sense, that unknown factor and sense to the true fighter in the arena, should carry him thru. Take tir Fitzsain:

True, it is a long step from the brand of Tennis displayed by Helen Wills, Senorita D'Alvarez, Bill Tilden and Monsieur Cochet, in the Wimbledon matches, to the Class "B" New Jersey Tournament held at Asbury Park over the Independence Day week-end, but there is no reason why the contrast should be as great as it is, in view of the

fact that many of Jersey's most successful and popular professional and business men are interested in this form of athletics. There was clearly evidenced, at the tournament, a much less amount of enthusiasm, diminishing gallery, and, a worse brand of tennis this year than the preceding one in spite of the huge crowds that flock to this section of the Jersey shore each season.
Tournaments are for the public. It is the time for the participants to pass in dress parade before the eye of the critic and judge. Just why the public did not witness this particular match in appreciable numbers is not known. Was it poor advertising? Was it known that a very mediocre bunch of players would compete? Was it lack of public interest and enthusiasm?
We ask these questions because we love the game; because we want to see a standard set in No pro tennis circles; and because we were dissatisfied with the general idea that seemed to penetrate the

Suffice it to say, that we shall expect more playing, more interest and more people in the hopes that this meet will be elevated in another year into its rightful place in the Jersey tennis world.
YOUNGSTERS COMPETE
It is a distinct credit to Mayor Walker's Committee on a Safe and Sane Celebration of the Fourth, for the plan originated to use the public playgrounds and parks in a huge athletic carnival.
Fully ten thousand of our arching took advantage of the gala day by participating in a series of track meets and swimming competition. Every available park and bathhouse were wisely utilized and we doubt that there was one casualty listed.
Thus, through the avenue of sports, the lesson of saneness and safety are taught and these future citizens who participated in or witnessed these athletic events have had a splendid initial habit formation instilled into them which will count heavily in length of life in days to come.
We suggest a weekly athletic contest meet for our boys and girls in order to prevent the growing number of accidents and deaths that have characterized the Fourth in the hectic celebration of three days. A love of play under pr sup vision is a better poli teach than to allow discriminate use of unprotected waters, dangerous streets and tempting woods.
The splendid new bath-house in our community is an unknown thing to many Harlem boys and girls and we have been severely criticized for lack of patronage. Our parks and playgrounds can still accommodate more of our youth so we again advocate plenty of competition and a wide variety of sports in order that. "His Honor's program will be fully realized.
Never before has the Tattler had such clever, amusing feature writers as today. These capable specialists certainly don't write just for the sake of writing, but, are well paid for their articles.

OUR STEP
in is very much of our colored ladies have ended high school days and are now contemplating upon entering some college for a four year period. Quite a few of these shows are skilled athletes and there will be no dearth of colleges to select from, in case a choice is necessary. However, we know that some of these schools our athletes are not given every opportunity to develop into better athletes. The fear of the colored students superior physical prowess is a discussion that infests the minds of several college heads, and much dissentness may result.
We want our boys then to "watch our step" on entering college, and often, the conditions will encourage and they may feel that it will be better to leave. But a hostile atmosphere does not exist in the colleges. From the large number of our lads entering a certain Catholic College up-State, we are sure that no prejudice lurks here.
We are not of that faith, so feel that this is not propaganda: are we on the payroll of any think organization. But we are monishing you to "watch your so as to get all that's due education and athletic training.
THE LINCOLN GIANTS
Displaying their best form, the Lincoln Giants won five ball games over the holiday week-end. At East Orange, N. J. on Saturday, they defeated the East Orange team; won both games of a doubleheader at Protectory Oval on Sunday, and Monday won a doubleheader in antop's Broncos.
In the played game this season, the Philadelphia Profes sionals were beaten in the first contest of Sunday's double-header, by a score of 5-3. In the other, the White Plains team was humbled 8-5.
The Broncos were completely outclassed Monday and the only feature of the games was the pitching of 19-year-old Roosevelt Owens, who lives in Bayonne, N. J. Owens was making his debut with the Lincoln and allowed but one hit during the game. He struck out ten men, but was so wild the visitors made 5 runs through the 14 base on balls he allowed. The final score of the game was 14-5. The score of the other game on Monday was 12-4.
ATTENTION MEN
Wall street Morgan of the well known firm of Morgan and Price, has informed us that for matinee sport apparel, the white flannel trousers either striped or plain, a "V" neck slip on sweater, a plain white shirt, collar attached and bow tie, linen sport cap and sport shoes of any design, are right in line. Price, of the same firm writes that the English walking suit will prove very popular this season. Its combination consists of gray striped trousers, blue coat (single breasted) vest double, a white dress shirt, stiff collar (not wing), a black and white striped patent leather shoes.

For the benefit of all concerned, we will only print articles that insinuate about other people, that have the senders name signed to the article. (Broadway Jones) Dis. Mgr. of the State of New Jersey, Headquarters at 279 Bank street. Why is it that Mrs. Anna Pease of 2192 Washington street, can't be seen since she met the shlek from Jersey City. He must be too bad. Page Mr. G. H. Johnson. Say sis Quanders, I guess you will take your time from now on before you start to accept a ride in another car, especially when a certain gentleman is waiting for you in another machine. Now shake that off. Page Sweet Papa Casey. Miss G. N. of 41 Main street, East Orange, why do you let the Ford get the best of you. Page the Cook.* Mr. Broadway Eddie and Cliff Bernardo visited the Deep Evening Restaurant and they report that they had a wonderful time and they have invited me to accompany them on their next visit. I think I will accept their invitation and if things are as nice as Broadway Eddie says they are, I know that I will have a too bad time. Two certain young sheiks in company with two young shebas, started fighting in a certain hotel and broke a very expensive gold-fish bowl, spilling the poor gold-fish on the floor. One of the sheiks kept yelling, "Don't you tear my shirt" I wonder if as
1? Girls, you may be smart and think you are cute, but you have a lot to learn. Take a tip from one of the old timers who knows what it is all about. * * * Look out Froggie and legs, don't think that you fellows own the Hill. Remember that there are others that live on the Hill also. * * * My! my! my! Humpty Dumpty has fallen for her at last. He held out a long time, but he was booked to go. It's just too bad. * * * Oh! boy! Snoodles is all right. Believe me. * * * I wonder why Pop Raff would rather loan Legs a dollar than to loan him twenty cents? Pop knows his onions. Believe me.
It's too bad, Mr. Freddy H., that you had to pack up and leave your happy home and then be seen entering that same said home the following A. M. at 5 o'clock, via the window. Explain yourself. *** Miss Anna must be just too bad, but she sure shamed herself when she battled all alone with the gangsters on Broome street. *** That house of Jappy's just won't quit. The bob-haired bandits certainly

caused a near riot when the good Mr. Freddy walked in on them. Tell us what it is all about. Oh, My! My! *** Well Mr. "Gambler," things still look to be 40, with that neat skirt, even if the Lion is in town, but things are not so strong as before, are they? *** How did it feel, Mr. Davis, when the main eel came to town? Sure must have been something wrong; left in such a hurry.
RED BANK. N. J.
Owing to the fact that Monday, July 4th was a legal holiday, the Tattler office was closed and the news was sent in on Saturday, so that is why the column is small. * * * We see that our friend C. H. has another job—that of a car washer under the able direction of Charles Jones, who is foreman of that department at the Boro Bus Co. The water will do you good. * * * I wonder why J. Williamson don't mix with the social elite of Red Bank anymore. Our friend, Mme. Oro Lane has opened a beauty parlor at the corner of Bank street and the Avenue. It is adjoining her brother's store. We were invited in and found it to be a modern establishment. Let's all pull for her success. * * * We regret that the news concerning the visit of Miss Hazel Clark of New York City to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clark of Shrewsbury avenue, did not get in. Miss Clark is a student nurse of the Lincoln Hospital, New York City and is a native of Sea Bright. N. J. She is well liked by all. * * * The Tattler man could not cover the Masonic Convention that was held last week, in Red Bank because of other business and a temporary sick spell prevented him from attending but from the reports, it was a "wow." The local press gave account of it in the issue of the 29th. * * * It is with great pleasure that I nominate Miss Beatrice Smith for this weeks enlogy. She is a good clean little lassie and plays the game on the square. "S'nuff Sed." * * * Station "See-C" signing off for this

Say, old C. Mayo, don't wear William street out, remember it is only for summer. ** Say, Thirston Guions, didn't Esther treat you right Thursday. If so, why sit on the curb stone and flirt with the fay broads? Remember you are not that type. *** Say Abo, what are you doing, trying to get back home? Let us put you wise. You haven't a chance. Remember V. S. is just the type that is never idle. *** Earl Green, I think you would look better strolling the Avenue with Fay, more so than M. Johno. *** Say, old Web Evans, it is certainly too bad that you haven't any friends. If I were you, I would try and change my disposition or even not make myself a nuisance with the gang, even though your brother is in it. *** Babe, old Colls will kindly, won't they Mrs. Davis. Understand all circumstances. *** Say E. E. don't worry about a family, leave that to M. Height. *** Say Mr. R. P. how is the high yellow at the plantation. Watch your step, boy. *** Say, A. Shields, if you didn't let your tongue run away with you maybe Mr. Al J. wouldn't be looking through those rose colored glasses at his five hundred bucks. Take a tip from us, kid, and mind your own business. *** F. D. take this good advice and stop biting P. L. in the back. You have escaped a long time, the danger that is now at hand for you. *** C. Mayo, why don't you stop writing yourself up in the Tattler? Everybody knows who you are.*** If Big Bob Johnson don't stop running down to Newark, he won't have that Hudson, long. Ask Mrs. B. T., she knows how he got it.
HACKENSACK DRIPPINGS
Say what you will or may, B. T. has got himself into a mess. We can't waste sympathy on a man who attempts to corrupt the morals of children. Let this be a warning to some of these other 'Cradle Snatchers.' His wife is entitled to sympathy, but how about the mother? *** Owing to the fact that the agent has left for parts unknown, we will assume the responsibility of supplying you with news, etc. The Tattler can be purchased at the 'Sugar Bowl.' Leave all news at our office, 232 First street. *** The Hackensack Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held a very enthusiastic meeting at Reddick's Hall on Thursday. All delinquent members are asked to please pay their 1927 dues. *** J. B. and F. H. bolted the ranks of the Civic League. Funny, how people will bite the hand that is feeding them. *** So Doc W. has a club. Did the boys freeze him out across the street? *** All we need now is a Night Club. Who will start? Put yours truly down as a charter member. *** Those Paterson Elks beat us to it. Remember, Boys, Arcola is not River street. *** R. S. and J. C. were actually bailed out. How come? *** The Rah, Rah. Rah boys are still looking for work. Work is one thing hard to find when you really need it. *** To the two young ladies who spent the night with other folks' 'Bread and Butter.' A good walk is better than a wife on the warpath. *** M. G. visits now and then. Mostly then. *** The card clubs seemed to have retired for the summer. *** A well known Pastor of Englewood has discovered that it does not pay to

Mystics Celebrate July 4th DOUGLAS GRILL OPENS
The Mystic Club celebrated at the Strand Ballroom, Monday, July 4th with one of the prettiest little breakfast dances of the season. Pretty because some of Philadelphia's prettiest turned out looking pretty and little because the host of Mystic admirers were either out of town or could not get their heads off the pillow.
"Link" Lee, Grand Esop or what not, as he is called was as always the charming nostess, 'scuse me" host patting the guys in the back calling the dames "Sugar" and "Honey". Refreshments were served just before the close of the affair.
Would that we could tell you about the many Philadelphiaans who were out of town and out of towners who were in town. Space won't permit the same old gag, you know.

DOUGLAS GRILL OPENS
On Friday evening, July 1, the Southern Grill, located in the Douglass Hotel, had an auspicious opening with a number of first nighters, prominent in all walks of life, were present. The Grill, which was formerly the Cotton Club, bids fair to become one of Philadelphia's leading supper clubs. Mr. Cyril E. Bufford is manager.
STRAND GIANTS WIN CLOSELY CONTESTED GAME
On Sunday afternoon, July 3rd, the Strand Giants under the able direction of Bill Pettus, won a closely contested baseball game from George Robinson's Pitman ball tossers. Lasting only three innings and consuming a trifle less than two hours, the game was filled with pep and go, from the time that umpire F. Grant Gilmore called "play ball," until Chef Geter called dinner.
Line up, Strand Giants, George Sparks, catcher; Bill Pettus, pitcher; Bish Turner, 1b: Frank Thompson, second base; Chick Collins, short stop; W. O. Holmes, third base; Corbie Hall, right field; left field; center field; Pitman Tossers; Herkimer Groles, catcher; Milton Novell, first base; Mason Buckner, pitcher: George Robinson, short stop; William Lockley, second base; Dan Williams, third base; H. Cooper, right field; left field; center field.
The score, oh yes, by the way, I almost forgot that. Strand Giants, 32; Pitman Tossers, 30.
HIGH LIGHTS
Bill Pettus pitched air tight ball for the first two innings, holding the Tossers to 31 scattered hits, while the Giants gleaned 46 off Buck delivery.
George Robinson stretched a homer into a basses.
George Sparks proved a veritable stone wall behind the bat, having only 86 passed balls charged up to him.
F. Grant Gilmore produced another problem. No one could understand how Grant could umpire a game lying down most of the time.
Mrs. Tillie Burrell was there with the bloomers to challenge the winners on behalf of the Damp Wash Girls.
Corbie Hall wanted to call time after each hit. Ump Gillie told Corbie flat that he wouldn't stand for it unless he (Corbie) gave him a drink of it. They carried poor Gillie home.
Bill Pettus promises to bring a real team down Sunday, July 10 and promises to hold the Pitman Tossers to at least 25 runs.
Do not fail to get your Tattler next week. A brand new feature in Harlem Journalism.
Now that the Grand Exalted Ruler has issued his official proclamation, naming New York City, as the place where the Grand Lodge will hold their 1927 convention, I presume that everybody is satisfied and we will all put forth our best efforts to make the convention the best that, the Great Order of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., has ever held and as we know nothing but success will crown our efforts, I trust that after the convention has come to New York City and the Grand Lodge has been royally entertained and will have finished the business and elected officers for the ensuing year, that there will be the most cordial, friendly feelings between the Brothers of this great order, that there has ever been, so let us live up to the one cordial principle of our Order and exemplify brotherly love. * * * Well friends, I spent the 4th of July down at the scashore and believe me, it was a nice bright sunshiny day, but the atmosphere was very, very cool. Of course I didn't mind it at all, because I was kept warm greeting old friends and making new acquaintances and that always requires a lot of hand shaking, which is plenty of exercise, or at least enough to keep you warm and with the added stimulants, I felt "fourty." * * * The Iota P.

The moonlight excursion given by the Craftsman Club, of James H. Farrell Lodge, 34, F. and A. M., on Friday evening, July 1, was a huge success. At 9:15 P. M., at the clang of the last gong the "Ben Franklin" pulled away from the dock, headed northward up the historic Hudson. The clear but dark sky was illuminated somewhat by the moon in new crescent. Many persons occupied the upper deck, but the majority were found downstairs on the spacious ballroom, enjoying the unusually good jazz as Melody Dance Orchestra just performed. From all angles it was a success. * * * News of the very quite June wedding has just reached the press-agent on Miss Helen Smith, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith of Irving Place and Mr. Clarence Franklin, also of this city.

BUFFALO, N. Y.
Last Monday, Mr. Charles A. Shaw of Chicago, who is the assistant to the president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, addressed a large crowd at the St. Luke's A. M. E. Zion Church. On Wednesday, Mr. 'Shaw met, with the agents, in order to point out a few phases of the working conditions of the company. The Buffalo representatives elected Mr. S. A. Waddell as chairman and treasurer of the Agents' Club. The other agents are: Mr. Leonard Sayres, Mr. G. F. Reddick, Mr. H. G. Allen, Mr. E. Bennett, Mr. J. Harmon, Mr. N. Davis, and Mr. Victor Welsh. These men are backed up by the largest Negro concern and the only Insurance Company that has met the requirements of the New York State law. They feel that they can do a large amount of business in and around this city, as has been done in other cities. ***Mrs. Mae Ward of Cleveland, Ohio, was a guest of Mrs. Anne Powell, of 344 Jefferson avenue. Many social affairs were given in her honor, among which was entertaining of the La Beau Monde Club, by Mrs. Effie Humphry, a beautiful appointed three-course dinner by Mrs. Frankie La Tate, on Pratt street, and a theatre party and trip across the Peace Bridge, by Mrs. Irene Bruce of Michigan avenue. *** Miss Joe Davis of Syracuse, N. Y., is visiting Mrs. Frank Booker of 186 Clinton street. We are hoping Miss Davis is having a pleasant visit while in our city. *** Mr. Gerard Millar has been reappointed to be a delegate for the Negro Business Men's League, which will hold their annual convention in Oakland, California. *** Miss Minnie Dawson of Washington, D. C., is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Martha Yancy of 172 Eagle street. *** The Duo-Art Club held its last social meeting of the season at the Memorial Chapel, last Tuesday night. All who were present reported a splendid meeting.
Your ex-Contributor "The Tattler Herself," was much pleased to note the article of a few weeks ago, stating that Buffalo missed her. Also the reference of Dan's Exchange Street Hostelry offering her entertainment on her return from her vacation. Dora, of Ford Cottage, has corresponded with N. J. and informed her of the activities of the "Three Elephants." The Ivory Elephant in Albany, the Ebony Elephant in Atlantic City, and the Bronze Elephant in Buffalo, N. Y. Elephants, where are your trunks? *** Say boys, "Give-a-Dam" of old Buffalo 1912 is here, and that's that. *** Jimmy Jack Abrams says Hello, Gang. It's not the Lakes this year for him, but the big wide ocean, (Atlantic.) *** Who remembers Ray Webster? Well she is here and won't stop for the red lights; with her can and everything lit up like the boardwalk.*** Rev. Sanders of Bethel A. M. E. Church in 1915, is pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, Atlantic City. *** Say Mr. William Campbell, distributor of the Tattler in Buffalo, what is the trouble, can't you find another faithful contributor to keep Buffalo on the map? Buffalo may now realize they got something for nothing through "The Tattler Herself." *** Poor Dog Green, I guess he is glad I'm gone. But I was good to him. I classed him with the gentleman before I left. Good luck, Dog. *** As for shots, Carlo, Bill S. and family Jewels, I give up. Haven't seen anything like them in the East and West I won't. Hat Hat!
