This great contest, now in its third week, is arousing tremendous interest and grows more thrilling and complicated each week. The girls are all eager to win the big cash prizes and are calling upon their many friends to support them in the glorious battle for fame and fortune. Miss Willis, (in picture above) one of the pretty hostesses of The Savoy, the "World's Finest Ballroom," was selected to symbolize the beauty contestants.

In the current "Pittsburgh Courier," H. Binga Diamond pinch-hits for his wife, Geraldyn, the regular conductor of "Through the Lorgnette." Our first impression after reading the column was, and still is, that if we were boss of the Courier, Mrs. D would be out of a job from now on and Mr. D. would have one. Mr. Dismond is a practising physician, and if he knows his scalpels or stethescopes, or whatever he tortures his victims with, as well as he knows the President's English all this talk about the rising mortality in Harlem must be unalloyed hcoey. Either that or people are patronizing the wrong allopath. SECOND THOUGHT suggests that the felicity of Dr. Dismond's fuelleleton is the result of having a more interesting subject than any Mrs. D. has ever encountered. Or perhaps it is because he is more interested in his subject. Brilliant writing is not the result of intellectual power alone. It results when intellectual vigor is warmed and inspired by a propitious emotional attitude. When Dr. Dismond picks up the "Lorgnette" his first act is to focus the lenses on his wife. Draw your own conclusions. WE CAN always recognize a clever idea even if we cannot invent one, and immediately after reading Dr. Dismond's appreciation of the woman God gave him we suggested a similar mamma-papa act to our leading lady. That sagacious and considerate woman declined, giving the plausible excuse of not having any asbestos to write it on. Besides, she declared, the public is weary of war stories. ```markdown ``` WORDS ALMOST DAILY new words are coined and put in circulation. Most of these new words possess no intrinsic value except the charm their novelty gives to smart speech and as soon as they have become a little worn they are discarded and forgotten. Others, of course, stick to the language and eventually find their way to the dictionary. Two of the latter sort, if our gift of prophecy, is in working order today, are "beautility" and "shamateurism." "Beautility," which obviously means a blend of beauty and utility, is a native word invented by a THE INTER - STATE TATTLER llines An A Weekly Surv real estate firm to describe the attractions of an apartment house over on the drive. "Shamateurism," comes from England. Charles B. Cochran, a manager of professional tennis stars, employs it to describe sham amateur atheletes who are really professionals in everything but name. Both words serve to condense thought and each ought to effect a considerable saving in white paper and typewriter ribbons, to say nothing of conserving the energy and cuss words of writing men. We pass them on to the trade for what they are worth. NORTH AIN'T SOUTH A FAIRLY accurate illustration of the whole race problem in America may be obtained by contrasting the Southern with the Northern method of dealing with licorice law breaking, excepting, of course, the extreme cases where lynching is resorted to. When a cracker green grocer, doing business in Memphis or Waycross; catches his dusky handy man pilfering his merchandise he simply takes the dark boy in the back room and kicks him in the pants a few times and forbids him to approach the premises again. Frequently the latter part of the punishment is commuted. The Northern business man meets a similar situation by turning the offender over to the courts, and after the judge sentences the culprit to six months in the hoosegow, the guards boot his dark rear every morning for exercise. Most race "advancement" organizations are striving to make the Northern method the prevailing one throughout the land. IT HAS OFTEN been asserted that Negroes can never be made to agree on anything. We have long felt that the assertion was a canard, but, not possessing any concrete proof to the contrary, we have bided our time and held our peace. But now we can look the world square in the eyes and shout it out loud that Negroes can agree Not only that, but two Harlem papers have agreed on a certain matter and the thing is now history. Here is our proof. Says "The New York News," of Clarence Muse's "Miss Bandana": Overcoming the handicap thrown in his way by the violent rainstorm Published Friday of every week by the 12. Entered as second-class matter PAX AFRICANA Table ey of the World on Monday afternoon, Clarence E. Muse's "Miss Bandana," scored a decided hit at the Lafayette Theatre, where it is booked for this week's engagement. THE ABOVE paragraph is the opening one of the News article. Worded slightly different but still in substantial agreement with it is the first paragraph of the "Amsterdam News" story of the same incident. It reads: Overcoming the handicaps thrown in his way by the violent rainstorm on Monday afternoon Clarence E. Muses, "Miss Bandana," scored a decided hit at the Lafayette Theatre, where it is booked for this week's engagement. THE "AMSTERDAM NEWS" story ends thus: The well-known and extremely popular Three Brownies are also in the cast. WHILE THE "New York News' article ends this way: The well-known and extremely popular Three Brownies are also in the cast. AS THE intervening text of the two articles does not vary any more than the opening and closing paragraphs we conclude that the incident and bitter enmity of the two papers has been dissolved in a new and sweet repproachment. Or perhaps some charcoal Munsey has purchased both papers with the intention of endowing each with the best features of the other. THE MARRIAGE MARKET RECENTLY THE chocolate drop press made a great racket over the story of a brown-skin frail who, claiming to have been the common law wife of a white millionaire for seventeen years, appealed to the courts with a charge of abandonment and a request for an endowment of bucks; the said bucks to be sequestered from the worldly goods of her former sweet papa We discussed the incident with a girl friend of ours, whom we have always found to be a woman of unusual frankness, and her verdict, it seems to us, covers the whole problem with almost biblical brevity and at the same time reveals the true femenine attitude toward life. "If that woman hasn't feathered her nest in seventeen years," our friend declared, "she does not deserve a moment's sympathy." (Continued on Page 3) The Inter-State Tattler Publishing Co.

A visit to the Lafayette Theatrs anytime this week will convince the most skeptical as to the truth of the above statement. Yes, if you want to really enjoy a laugh: if you really want’ to hear some good singing, see some facinating maids that really dance and behold beautiful scenery and = cosiuines, visit the Lafayette. From beginning to end, the en tertainment is very good and would please the most exacting. There’s not a dull moment from the opening until the final curtain. Warper, wise old fox, stole a march | on the folks, with a novel opening: that won favor instantly and made the ultimate triumph all the more greater. Jimmy Johnson with a clever, spirited aggregation of saucy and dancing damsels, in a back stage opening scene, came near to break- ing up the show before it ‘had start- ed. The girls came out first sing- ing aud then, as girls some times will, became peeved and worried about their pay. Jimmy, like many of our non-paying producers have a way ot doing, bawled them cu. And for bawling them out, gee. what a bawling out they handed poor Jimmy. Each one of old Mo- ther Eve’s impudent daughters poured the oil on Jimmy and with a vengence. At that, there was more truth than acting, for sever- al of the pretty children have been hadly gyped. ! Joe Byrd and Billy Higgins fur- fished the heavy comedy and, well, anytime this combination swings into action on anybody’s old stage and fail to make you laugh, phone for your doctor when you get home. Joe Byrd was exceedingly funny to us in the bit worked by him, Julia Moody and the police- man. His dry, droll comedy man- nerisms are forcefully realistic and will register with any audience. Miss Moody, as the abused wife was very good. Higgins, as the judge in the court scene, usurped the calciam, though Jimmy Johnson pressed him closely. Joe Byrd and Julia Moody contributed to the comedy of this bit. / Paulis and Darrell in several dances were very good as was George Phillips and Linda Garret- te, who gave a clever imitation of Billy .Mitchell, the ecentric come- dian and also acrobatic and con- torionist dancing. Hilder Perleno’s singing was sweet and pleasing and the Three Dixie Song Birds, including besides Miss Perleno, the Misses Birlianna’ Blanks and Am- ‘anda Randolph, ‘the latter a very talented young lady.

Wherever he is placed, he is per-| fect. As the old man in the Show Boat finale, as the Count in the sketch, Chez Florence, and in his dancing specialty, he proves him- self the true artist that he is. in addition, to his credit goes the dancing of the entire ensemble. MR. DOUGLAS has a very in- teresting background. He is a ua-| tive of Philadelphia and the son- in-law otf Will Marion Cook, but /practically all of his thirty-three -years have been spent abroad be- tween London, Paris and Berlin. When -Williams and Walker went to London, they found Mr. Doug- las; ‘then a small boy, singing with a white troup. He knew nothing about dancing which he _ after- wards learned from watching re- hearsals and under the instruction ot Jesse Shipp. WHEN he was twenty years old he began his outstanding work as a showman and producer. He started out as the only colored dancer in the Ballet New York which had a nine months’ stay at the Empire Theatre’ in Lon- don. At the close of the Ballet he produced a show of his own. “Iebery Body’s Doing It.” By this time his fame had spread to Russia and he was commanded to appear at the birthday party to the late czar on his private grounds. Before returning to Eng- land he stopped in France and performed for fourteen months at the Folies Bergere and then play-! ed for three years at 2 year each, in the cabarets of Budapest, Wien, and Hamburg. LATER he Was a headliner at the London Pavilion theatre for three years, worked as a_ black faced comedian opposite an Eng- lishman, and had a troupe of his own of twelve girls and one addi- tional boy. At the Concert Mayol of Paris he thrilled the French and was selected by Ernest Rolfe to direct his larger revues in Sweden. To Mr. Douglas goes the distinction of forming the revues for Josephine Baker, which he named the Revue Négre and_ in- troduced to Paris.

The marriage business is being conducted according to new ideas and most of these new ideas have been introduced by wo men. MARRIAGE IS fundamentally an economic institution. In the beginning a man obtained his wife in exchange for other kinds of economic goods. If his woman was stolen or if she wandered away he could recover her just as he could recover any other kind of property illegally sequestered from him. All that has been changed now. By a persistent boring from within women have altered law and custom to such an extent that the husband has lost all his traditional rights. If his wife is stolen he can still have recourse to law and perhaps collect indemnity for her alienated affections. But if his wife voluntarily leaves his bed and board, taking with her all his movable wealth, he has no right of recovery whatsoever. The law remains neutral in the matter and simply says that neither must molest the other, usually accepting the woman's definition of what "molest" means. Indeed, nowadays we frequently hear of women locking their husbands out of the homes they have established with money earned at hard labor on the docks WHILE THE husband has been deprived of all his rights and privileges, all his old obligations remain intact. He must provide her with food, clothes and lodging or else remove beyond the reach of the law. The wife, on the other hand, has practically no obligations at all. She does not have to keep her husband's house or clothes clean and she can refuse to cook his food and bear him children. If he admonishes her she can tell him to go to hell. If he attempts to correct her contumacy by means of corporal chastisement the law, through the agency of the cop, will knock his block off and, through the agency of the judge, give him ninety days on the Island. NOT SATISFIED with these priviliges and immunities women have begun to undermine the last traditional right the husband retains—the right to monopolize his wife's love. In practice he has already lost that monopoly. Women are enjoying all the freedom of sex men ever enjoyed. The task that remains is to obtain the sanction of custom and the authority of law for their conduct. The trend of the stage and modern fiction, as well as numerous recent decisions of judges, with a weather eye out for the stenographer vote, shows it won't be long before women will have won complete sex emancipation.

The only practical advantage marriage has for women is respectability. That is why, as Mrs. Garvey says, they often prefer lazy husbands to no husbands at all. But that advantage will disappear when women obtain social and moral equality, or, in other words, social and legal sanction of sex freedom. Then marriage, having lost its social utility for both men and women, will vanish from the society of the West. This is an occidental movement toward a readjustment of sex relations and colored men and women are being carried along with the general trend of the times.

GREER-JOHNSON NUPTIALS One of the most beautiful weddings of the month was solemnized recently at 1216 Idlewood avenue, when Miss Jewett Johnson became the bride of Mr. Arthur Berry Grier, formerly of Kokomo, Ind., who is now living in this city. The ceremony was performed on the lawn of the bride's home under an arbor, decorated with elder blooms and sunflowers with a large wedding bell in the center which was very attractively done in the color scheme of yellow and white. The license bearer, Master Roy M. Johnson, Jr., led the way followed by the groom, Mr. A. B. Grier, with the best man, R. J. Kenney, one of the groom's business associates. Following came the bridesmaids, the Misses Evelyn Stewart, wearing turquoise blue taffeta and Easterline Cooley, wearing lemon and blue taffeta, then the maid of honor. Miss Louise Jackson, wearing orchid tulle, who was preceded by the little flower girls, the Misses Gwendolyn and Delores Johnson. The bride was led to the improvised altar on the arm of her father, attired in white satin, trim med with pearls, carrying a bouquet of bride's roses. The veil trimmed with orange blossoms was carried by little Miss Jewett Johnson. The Rev. M. M. Fisher of the Theological Department of Union University officiated. Just before the ceremonies, Dr. Z. P. Gilpin sang sweetly, "Dawning," and "Because I Love You." Miss Olivia C. Taylor was at the piano. BAYSHORE NOTES Who was the "40" broad Mr. G. B. and Mr. K.

PAUL WILLIAMS it is "too terrible" that your job of professional boot-black has made you feel that you are the cutest thing in Atlantic City. Wake up friend, you are wrong; there are others who outshine you. MRS. HAYES A. Booker and her son, Clarence, and Miss Machado, are taking a two weeks tour motoring to Richmond, Va., and Buckroe Beach, in their big "Six" Studebaker brougham. Pretty soft for the Butter and Egg Kid. WILLIE C. it's about time you have shed your false coat. Because you were gifted with a large mouth is no reason for talking so much. This, and a lack of common sense have caused you to be a plain chump in the sight of your friends. C. WARREN WE know you are leaving Atlantic City with your old love H. Ross. Remember the old song: "No One Can Love Me the Way You Do." Don't worry boy, you still stand good with her. Someone else has tried but they ain't the one. Oh no! ADDIE T. IS sporting a big sedan and private chauffeur now. Who is the big Butter and Egg Man, Addie? Is he from the North, East, West or South? Don't keep us in the dark! This suspense is terrible!

THOSE Lafayette boxes THE INTER - STATE TATTLER Tattler Tattlers Who Hear Everything everything Mischievous Monkeys are too bad aren't they? There should be some way to notify a fellow when they intend to light the boxes up. What if Mrs. S. had happened to be some where in the house? NOW THAT A certain Miss from 119th street is married, we wonder what Mr. H. E. S. will do. But probably it won't make much difference. What did you say? NOW THAT THE wife is away, H. S. "ring the bell three times so I'll know who it is." WHO WERE the "ladies" with a couple of fellows that invaded 142nd street at "4 P. M.," Monday morning and had to be chased out of the block by police whistles. The whistles blew just in time, or otherwise they would have received a shower bath. Perhaps too, it wouldn't have been a bad idea to have added some soap, because from the kind of language that was used, we have an idea that their mouths could have stood considerable washing a C. N. bath. LUCILLE L. your vacation must have agreed with you, seeing that you have put on so much weight We heard a certain party speaking or how prominent you had become from all angles. Who was it? Can't tell you that, but if you call the name we'll whistle. JIMMY B. what if someone had come into Rossie's last Saturday night about 1:30. Been too bad, wouldn't it? The party of the first part may have found the party of the second part rather hard to handle, Eh? We heard all about you. WE OFTEN hear newlyweds that their husbands are so different after marriage from what they were before. Perhaps this will account for the change. Remember a husband is what is left of a lover after the nerve has been extracted and the imagination been cocained. SAY JOHNNY were you three sheets in the wind Saturday night or was it the weather? NOW THAT A certain party has gone back to work and the girl friend has done likewise, the wedding bells will soon ring out. September isn't very far off. So work hard and save your money, because what you don't get before you car from me little girl and get it while the getting is good. A DESPORTE we hear you are about ready to look for a change of scenery by the middle of September. Well, it won't be long now. WELL WHAT will the boy friend do now that the sweet sheba has gone away on her vaction. She'll be back soon and you know "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." KNICKERS, Knickers, oh Knick ers!

Agnes Gent has decided to take her vacation in Baltimore, so that she can be near her sweet man. JEFF'S party was shot. Page the good-looking Sheik that was dancing. Creole Ruby was with him and both seemed to be desperately in love. Love is too bad when it's really love. WHAT happened to the small time sheiks last week, R. M. K. and Al M. K. I missed them from the column last week. What's the matter, did they get wise to themselves? SOMEONE pointed them out to me on the beach Sunday. I noticed that B. M. K. is good looking but knock-kneed, and his brother. Al is bow-legged. Whoever heard of Sheiks with trick legs. THEIR former sweethearts claimed they were minus something and it isn't money. Page Peaches. Why did she quit and go to Chicago. COUNSELLOR Bob, take my advice and come on through with that $125 you got from J. C. He is willing to call it even if you will let him have back 80 of it. But there is a good trouncing coming your way if you don't talk turkey soon. You should be satisfied with a break of $45, since you didn't do the work Friday August 12, 1927 promised. How much longer do you expect to get away with this stuff. We have all the facts and will make things more explicit if you don't do right by the young man. Other folks are on your trail also. Marion wanted a doctor for to marry, So when dumbell proposed, she didn't tarry. But he had no money, Now isn't it funny, With him she is raising "Old Harry." SAY Al you car is just too bad. We want more of it hereafter. B. M. K. I can't understand you. First, it's Ella, then Cora, then Hope and now Lillian. Too bad Sheik. It seems that you are very sweet on Lil though. W. GREGORY you and that girl are just too tight, why don't I get an introduction. R. MASSEY, Bill says you are forgiven, so let's see you at Rockaway. PEACHES from the Savoy writes and says "Hello folks, it's never to come back." Nuf sed. THESE boys sure love the ginmill, Al King, Herbert, Hazel, Joe and B. M. K.

AL NICHOLAS is becoming interested in the Restaurant business. Get us? RAY'S soft drink and frankfurter stand of 2026 is becoming qultet popular. Looks as if it'll be a "lower office."

Accooe You're not as good as you were, old man, In the days when in your prime, For to every one and to every clan, Comes the call of Father Time. But to us who remember your When they called you "Smokey Joe." We're, with you for giving the best you had, in those days not so long ago. I AM A New Yorker, and during my athletic career was always identified with teams representing this greatest of all bailiwacks. But who can blame me, if when "Cum" Posey leads his Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh, Pa., with old (no longer so Smokey, but still going strong) Joe Williams, pitching against our own Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval, next Sunday, I say who can blame me if I transgress so far as to root, not so much for the Grays, but for dear old Joe to win his assignment? IF YOU BLAME me gentle reader, remember that I won't be alone out there pulling for one of the greatest pitchers of all time, triumphant in his return to the city where he spent the best years of a long and honorable career or the baseball field. Where McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, watched him and openly admitted his greatness. Where many big leaguers came under the spell of his pitching arm and became momentarily helpless. THERE WILL be a deeper sentiment behind our rooting. The winning of a mere ball game is pushed far into the background. It will be a demonstration of the love we older fans hold for a man who gave his best years to our entertainment at old Olympic Field and later Protectory Oval. It will be a demonstration of our appreciation of a man whose name might have been known in organized baseball as well as Rusie, Young Wadell, Mathewson or Johnson—but for the fact of his color. A real martyr is. Old Joe Williams, and we love him because in spite of this, he has always given the best he had, and that was plenty, whenever he was called upon. AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THANKS AL for the nice things you said of me in your column of last week. When I was holding the seat, as Sporting Editor of the New York News, which you are so ably Sporting New Sporting News dominating now, it was my greatest desire to work hand in hand with my associates. Strange coincident it is, that you were then turning out copy for this publication. My desire to co-operate has not changed one bit Al, and if our pals in the game feel as we do, well, what's the use-I know they do. I am in hearty accord with your Sport Writers' Association movement and will do all in my power to aid its immediate realization. MORSE TO HEAD LEAGUE WORD has just reached us that the formation of a basketball league is in progress, in which New York, Newark, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington and three other eastern cities are to have franchises. Roy Morse, former national 220 yard champion has been named as president of the proposed league. These sport columns will be open to any publicity desired by this organization, as we feel the movement is one long desired by basketball enthusiasts. We wish friend Roy a successful regime in his latest undertaking. ANOTHER CHAMPION WINS ON Monday evening at the invitational boxing show, at Madison Square Garden, George Stewart, New York State champion won the 147 pound honors by first gaining the decision over William Eason, Newark Student's Council and in the final bout getting a technical knockout over Ed Priest, Trinity Club, when the latter received a badly cut eye in the second round. Stewart is a member of Salem Crescent. --- RING ECHOES AT Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Bearcat Wright, colored boxer of Omaha, Nebraska, was awarded the newspaper decision over Chief Metoquah, Toledo, in ten rounds. LARRY GAINES, colored heavyweight of Toronto. Canada, won the decision over King Solomon, in a ten rounder at Toronto last Friday night. It was the star bout.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT New Yorker Defeats Thompson in Straight Sets 7-5,86,9-7. Miss Ballard Wins Ladies Singles 63,1-6,8-6. Weir Wins NEW YORK garnered two titles from the Eastern Tennis Tournament held on the courts of the Bordentown Manuel Training and Industrial School at Bordentown, N. J., last week. Eyre Saitch, New York, present national champion, defeated his closest rival, "Ted" Thompson, Washington, in the finals of men's singles, in straight sets, 7-5, 8-6, 9-7, while 'Reggie" Weir was returned the winner in the final of the junior singles by his defeat of H. Marrowin, in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. DUE TO the excellent playing ability of Miss Ballard, Philadelphia was able to boast of three Eastern titles. The playing of this young woman from the city of brotherly love being the biggest feature of a week filled with many pleasing features. Miss Ballard won the women's singles by defeating Miss Channells of Chicago the present holder of national honors. 6-3, 1-6, 8-6. Coupled with Mr. E. Ashe in mixed doubles she played quite a part in bringing this title to the Quaker City by defeating Wilkerson and Channels, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 and called it a week after polishing off a New York team, composed of E. Conick and L. Wade in women's doubles, with Miss O. Washington as her partner, 6-3, 6-2. WASHINGTON HAD to be content with taking the men's doubles title, which was won by Holmes and Thompson in an interesting four set match with Wilkerson and Smith, another Washington entry. The score was 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. This was by far one of the most interesting doubles matches ever played in an American Tennis Association Tournament. ON A WHOLE, this tournament held jointly by the tennis associations of New Jersey, New York and Eastern Pennsylvania, offered a brand of tennis seldom if ever seen in this section of the country before. Though the national tournament, being held at Hampton. Va., this week, no doubt will show a large number of entries, there is not likely to be seen a greater set of matches than those seen at the Eastern. It is putting it mild to say that the spectators were paid at the rate of a thrill a minute. SAITCH, WHOM we favored to win, was not looked upon to win (Continued on Page 11) Friday August 12, 1927 RACING ATHLETICS BOXING NOTES CANADA LEE, promising Harlem lightweight, won the decision on a foul from Hardy McCann of a ten round bout, at Long Branch, last Friday night. Lee weighed 138, while his opponent weighed 136. K. O. Phil Kaplan featured this card and K. O'd George Werner in the first round. THE assault of Jamaica Kid, scheduled for last Monday night, when he was to be thrown in for Jim Maloney, the Boston heavyweight to feast upon, has been postponed to Friday evening. THIS bout, which never should have been allowed by the boxing commission, is the most inhuman piece of matchmaking heard of in many moons. If bullfights are illegal in this country then this bout should never happen. NEGROES RUN FOR ENGLAND WHEN the great Olympic Games get under way in 1928, it is more than likely that two groes will be seen on the team that will represent England in the battle for world's athletic supremacy. AT PRESENT we have with us a lad who will more than likely be in the retinue of the British team, who has shown his heels to most of the men eligible to represent the United States in the 800 meter event. Well informed followers of track and field athletics know Phillips, who is taking his college degree at New York University. The other lad who is sure to be an entrant from England, is now at one of the larger universities there. He is said to be Britain's only hope to bring home the honors in the 100 and (Continued on Page 11) The Mirror Barber Shop, located at 2206-7th avenue, is now under new management, with special accommodations for ladies.

Bathing Fishing May Gardner & James Ames, Prop. The Only Colored Dance Hall in the Rockaways Friday, August 12, 1927 First Game a Thriller Until Last Man Is Out. Camden Wins 9-8. Lincoln's Win Second Easily AFTER A monopoly of 6 or 7 weeks on the double headers played at Protectory Oval, the Lincoln Giants were forced to share the honors, when the Camden team took the first of last Sunday's twin bill. The score of this game was 9 to 8, and kept the spectators on the edge throughout. In the second game the Lincolnns seemed bent on revenge for the audacity of Camden in daring to win the first, and set about to make it a run away. This they succeeded in doing, winning as they pleased 10-2. THE FIRST inning of the first game was enough to show that the Jerseymen meant business, for they started right off with a run on Kelly's double and Montalvo's muff of a long fly to his territory on which Kelly scored. The Giants came right back with two. Gardner singled, Mason doubled, scoring Gardner and Montalvo making up for his error, scored Mason on his first of four hits. CAMDEN SCORED again in the second on a double and two singles, but Lincoln took the lead in the third with two runs scored on Montalvo's single, Scales' double and Lloyd's one-timer. AGAIN IN THE fifth the Camden team came on even terms when Gardner lost Chambers' fly in the sun. Kelly scratched a hit to the infield and O'Donnell walked, filling the bases. When Rojo threw wild to Lloyd in an attempt to catch Kelly napping, Chambers scored. Baldwin walked and McNeill's sacrifice fly scored Kelly. THE GIANTS would not be outdone, and in their turn at but scored two runs on Garcia's "Texas Leaguer" to right. Mason's triple and Montalvo's third hit. ANOTHER TIE was the result of Camden's stickwork in the sixth when Baldwin doubled. McNeill singled and Eberts triple were responsible for two runs. Camden forged ahead in the seventh on a single and two errors, but were once again headed by the Giants when Scales, Lloyd and Young singled, which aided by a wild throw by Chambers, netted them two runs and the lead. CAMDEN RETURNED the favor by scoring the tying and winning runs in the eighth inning, when Kelly singled, O'Donnell doubled scoring Kelly and McNeill's single pushed O'Donnell over the plate. THE GAINTS threatened in their half of the ninth, when with one down Montalvo doubled. However, Scales and Lloyd were easy victims for Chambers' clever tossing. THE INTER - STATE TATTLER A demonstration rivalling that recently given John J. Mc Graw, on the occasion of his twenty-fifth year in major league baseball, will be given to "Smokey Joe" Williams, veteran right hand pitcher and former manager of the Lincoln Giants, when he leads Com Posey's Homestead Grays to Protectory Oval, Sunday, August 14, for the final two games of a five game series with the Lincoln Giants. INTEREST in this series is surpassing any that has been staged between two colored teams in New York and it is predicted that the largest crowd to ever see a series of games at Protectory Oval will be present. LEROY Wilkins, wellknown billiard room proprietor and one of Joe Williams' most loyal friends, had planned to spend the week in Saratoga Springs but when he heard Joe was coming to town he immediately postponed his vacation so that he might see "Smokey Joe" in action once more. Mr. Wilkins has consented to head a reception committee to welcome Williams. It is also likely that this committee (which includes Alvin Moses, Jule Thomas, Percy Brown, Romeo L. Dougherty, Bill Harris, Fred Accool and George Scales) will make a presentation to Williams on behalf of New York fans. THE double-header will begin at 1:30 instead of 2 p, m. and Williams is scheduled to pitch the first game. OF COURSE, John Henry Lloyd and his Lincoln Giants expect to cop the series but the heavy schedule they have this week—8 games in 6 days—may be something of a handicap to them. They played the Philadelphia Elks Monday, Allentown Tuesday, Uniontown Thursday, the Grays Friday and Saturday in three games and hop back to New York for the doubleheader Sunday. Negroes To Run for England 200 meter events. His name is Hodge London. LONDON is looked upon by the British experts, as the greatest sprinter ever produced on English soil, and if what we learn of his performances is true, there is plenty of cause for their enthusiasm. He is credited with having stepped one hundred yards in the classical time of 9 3-5 seconds not once, but twice in his short career and the longer distance in record time. There seems to be no question about him being a consistant 10 second man. London is also a fair broad jumper, having done over 23 feet many times. IF these two lads are on England's team, it will give us plenty to worry about in three of the events in which we are admittedly strongest. With the possibility of London tatktitngt a place-tttp of London taking a.place in the broad jump, England's chances to top this country are obvious. TENNIS TOURNAMENT (Continued from Page 10) in straight sets from so worthy a foe as Thompson, but in so doing he did not disgrace his opponent, who fought for every point, every inch of the way. It was more of a testimonial to Saitch's greatness, the way he recovered Thompson's best shots and turned them into winning aces. If these two come to the final bracket at Hampton, we look for the greatest match in the history of the Nationals to be played there. MISS BALLARD was at her best in defeating Miss Channels, but to keen observers the all around good playing of the Quaker City girl during the week had given them the key to the ultimate winner of the ladies' singles. Although playing a splendid game, Miss Channels was not good enough to win. REGINALD WEIR, the elongated kid of the erstwhile Ideal Courts, made good the boast of his admirers that he is the best junior in this neck of the woods by the way he won this event. A rare knowledge of the game was displayed by Weir, and it is not saying too much when we predict the possibility of his success to the place now held by Saitch in a few years. At any rate, he seems to be New York's only hope amongst the younger players. SOCIALLY, THE Bordentown event was also a great success and everyone is looking forward to the return there next year.

Price & Morgan Last week you read of a color idea introduced by John Haliday, the actor, suggesting colors are all right, but ones personal opinion must also be considered. To specify particular colors to be worn is not as important as the way in which the colors harmonize or blend. For instance, if one should wear a gray suit, gray shirt (collar attached) and a red tie (cardinal red), he would at once attract the attention of every passer-by. He is made conspicuous by the color of his tie. However, if that same person were to be attired in the same gray suit, gray shirt and black tie, (or a tie of any soft toned color) he would look much more attractive and appealing to the eye. LUCK!

NEWS The truth to tell, there is no single event happening during the summer season, here, that means as much or attracts quite the interest among members of our group, as the coming of the first Monday of August; when, through the courtesy, of officials of the C. and O. Railway Co., John Milton THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Sec. I. B. C. Club, Richmond, Va. J. M. DABNEY Dabney, charter member of the Independent Beneficial Club and chairman of its entertainment committee, is assured the use of twenty-five big coaches to carry Richmond folks to the playgrounds along the Chesapeake Bay. Several weeks ago, it was announced that the I. B. C. would carry its members and friends to Buckroe Beach on the annual outing. Almost immediately, the same wise ones wanted to know what portion of the usual crowd would make the trip by automobile. What's going to be Lizzie's quota? A very sound question in this day of the automobile. In twenty-eight coaches the two big trains carried as merry a throng as ever visited the Beach for a dip in the Bay or to go calling on friends on the peninsular. The Bay Shore Hotel seemed to be the center of the day's activities. Evidently the management found it impossible to give entire satisfaction to a great number of vititors in one day's effort and to meet the situation, must in self defense resort to fees and other restrictions. Tho' it seems a little hard on the guest to be annoyed with fees with every incoming tide. All in all was a grand day but then that was anticipated. There was just a little rain — and funny, wasn't it? Even the bathers sought shelter while the shower lasted. Of course the crowd made for the dance hall and other retreats. And why not? Please, hadn't there been an extra fee assessed for this emergency. Notwithstanding, the dance and other features. are free to I. B. C. patrons. The first section was carried down with Mr. Sheridan Jackson, --- LAUGH IN EVER of Richmond, Va., and Washington, D. C. in charge. Mr. Jackson is well-known to patrons of I. B. C. affairs. The following committee served you on this train: Shelton, Mallory, Johnson, Taylor, Ellis and Johnson. The ego at the helm of the second crowd, John Milton Dabney, who has been very aptly styled "The Man of Notions" attributes the success of the enterprise to the efficiency of a wellordered committee. In justice to this committee it should be known that the man you saw with his head done up with bandages, was playing the sympathetic game. He got a free ride. The committee named below assisted Dabney in looking after your comforts: Lucas, Coles, Wells, White and Lee. And now begins the assembling of things for your autumn and winter pleasantries.

J., former editor of The Tattler, left the city some time ago and she also left 515, very sorry, too. But she must have left bad luck behind her or at least taken down the horse-shoe from over the door and placed a black cat bone instead, for the black and white rent sign has been hanging over 515 Michigan avenue ever since she went away. Maybe it is a good sign that she will come back. *** Exchange W. T. GRAY'S SERVICE STATIONS 8 W. LEIGH or 410-412 N. 2nd ST. Phone Randolph 4419 Cars washed by Curtis machine.
