THE INNER - GRAND RATTLE JAMES LOWE, AN IMPRESSION An Artist Who Found Himself After Years of Wanderlust JAMES LOWE is an actor. He has played many parts both on the legitimate stage and before the motion picture camera. We have not yet had an opportunity to see him on either stage or screen but we have seen and talked with him out of character. We venture the opinion that he has seldom enacted a story more absorbing than his life, and never portrayed a character more vivid than his own. covers less than half a decade. Less than five years ago he was a $5 a day "extra", performing odd bits around the lots and sometimes risking his life in daring comedy stunts. Before that he was—well most everything. He is a tailor by trade and still thinks of himself as a tailor. But, although he does not admit it, there is a streak of the romantic in him that would not let him be satisfied in that prosaic trade. He is a spiritual gypsy, charged with a wanderlust that kept him roving from place to place until he had covered the vast North American Continent from the tropics to the Yukon. And a great deal of that wandering was devoted to the most romantic of callings—he was a mining prospector. HE WAS on the way to the Yukon country, making a second trip there, when fate collared him, turned his face toward the location lots of Hollywood and told him to step off. While roaming about the continent he had lost touch with his family. While waiting in Seattle for passage north he heard that his mother and a sister were living in Los Angeles and decided to visit them. It was during that visit that he got a chance to work at the profession for which he was born. ALTHOUGH HE had never attempted any professional acting, nor dreamed that he ever would, he was not unprepared for the work. He had always been a reader and a thinker with a decided leaning toward glamorous characters of the stage. One of his most vivid memories, he says, is Sir Henry Irving's performance of "Robespiere." His prospector's kit always contained a few books and he committed numerous dramatic passages to memory, and at times when he was alone in the moun- NEATLY FURNISHED apartment to sub-let.

He had all so taken part in amateur recitals and readings in various parts of the country. More than all this he is a born artist; and when he began to work in the Hollywood studios all he needed was stage and camera presence and drill in technique. HE OBTAINED the pricking of needed playing "extras" and minor roles in pictures in which Mr Murray, Corrine Griffith and other prominent stars were featured This tuition cost him dear, for laying the shooting of "Tumblessed" a Wm. S. Hart feature, Mr. Lovell was thrown by a wild man and his arm was broken in three places. This part of the picture was subsequently deleted. WHILE HE was employed in "super" roles for the screen he was doing more important work on the legitimate stage. The four Boilers, an esthetic club part into a part in "Failures," and his work was so impressive that he was subsequently elected to membership in the club. He became a member of the executive staff, and after the club decided to produce "The Emperor Jones" he was assigned to the leading role. California critics declare his portrayal of the character surpassed that of Charles S. Gilpin. WE ARE included to consider Lowe's work with the Pot Bottles the most important of his works up to this time. Mr. Lowe does not think so. He believes his best work was his portrayal of the title 480 Convent Av.

It appears to be a list of names or items, but the text is not clearly legible. that the world is in danger of losing money and losing its future. today than ever before. It is looking better with its considerable time and money and has been the South. When the average New Yorker decides to add a modern building to the city builds the new unit in the south of the Mason and Dixon line. The city is now occupied it is usually the South. The meaning of this shift is that the Kelly Miller or Marcus will be able to do it. An increase in the amount of population will require more food and they require more money. When a new factory is opened in the community the merger with some vegetable cells and the real estate man with the usual manager to get a something out of it for themselves. IN EQUALLY is porous, though at present most conspirious, movement which will eventually put her enough the South, is the trend of world politics. Europe, with the probable exception of Russia, is on the decline. A great deal of the prosperity of Europe depended on trade with the United States and South America. But now, in spite of anti-American sentiment, merchants of the United States are getting an increasing proportion of South American business. Our business men can produce cheaper and sell cheaper than European business men and that is what counts when nations want to buy anything. The main scene of international politics, which always follows the lead of business, will presently shift from Europe to the Americas. The treaties, ententes THE ENTER - STATE TATTLER NES AND TABLE Weekly Survey of the W and offensive and defensive alliances of the next century will be arranged by the diplomats of the nations of the Western Hemisphere. THE MAJOR wars of the next century will also be fought on this side of the Atlantic. Some of these wars, perhaps most of them, will be fought by nations of South America. You won't have to study the map very long to discover the most convenient ports for the shipment of war supplies to future South American belligerents. NOR SHOULD we forget the extensive American Empire which is already in existence in Central and South America. The United States is destined to hold the future hegemony of all America as England held the hegemony of Europe during the last century. There will come times when we will have to fight to protect our interests. Troop movements will be via the Southern ports. The people who happen to be around there will sell them something as they pass through. They will also sell the Government a great deal more for their maintenance. WE ARE not suggesting any wholesale migration to the South. If you have a neat equity in New York property, hold on to it. But if you have energy, intelligence and a surplus of money, go South and look around. If you are already there, think twice before you pull up stakes and come north. This goes especially for young Negroes with insurance funds to invest. Don't sell the South short, with apologies to Mr. Brisbane. Put down your financial buckets where you are. Invest in the South and stick around awhile and watch your money grow. --- ```markdown ``` Humor, 1927 Vogue ONE OF the numerous ways to trace the trend of civilization, and by no means the one of least efficacy, is to observe the sophistication of its humor. Give a thoughtful man ten of the current jokes of an age and he ought to be able to reconstruct its mores without difficulty. A popular humorous weekly and burlesque show joke of our adolescence will serve as a convenient illustration. "Who was that lady I saw you with last night?" the question ran. And the answer was, "That was no lady. That was my wife." IT REQUIRES no resort to calculus to figure out that the age which relished that wheeze was one which wanted to be naughty but at the same time was determined to be nice. Fido's wife was a lady dog in those days and a cow's husband was just that. It was bad form to say legs, when we were speaking of a woman's, and it was immoral to see them. A lady's drawers on the wash-line were apparel and on the lady's person they were not supposed to exist. To speak disparagingly of conjugal happiness, if one were in earnest, was almost blasphemy, but, if one had the gift of delicate phrase, one could crack wise about it and get a laugh. --- Page 3 IN THESE frank and freer days Fido's wife is what she is, in intelligent conversation at any rate, and a gentleman cow is just one kind of bull. It's not bad form to speak of legs any more but it's terribly old fashioned, for talk and exposure now run to thighs. Talk also runs to Lesbian love and the other passions and pleasures mentioned in the first chapter of Romans. The change in manners is appropriately reflected in contemporary humor. Here is the 1927 model of the mauve decade joke of our youth: "Who was that lady I saw you with last night?" "That was no lady. That was a Y. M. C. A. man." We Wonder? RECENTLY THE American Mercury published an article, "Life, Death and the Negro." It was an engrossingly interesting article and no less enlightening. It was written by Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. If we were in the big idea business instead of the entertainment racket, we would take advantage of The Mercury's generous offer and quote half of the article for the information of our readers. Then, after a coup' of weeks, when The Mercury publishers ceased to be on the alert, we would "quote" the other half. But since our mission in life is to amuse, not to instruct, we limit ourselves to the suggestion that our readers go around to the library and take a look at it. SINCE THE appearance of the article—no, we're wrong—before the article appeared every Race newspaper and publication of any importance received an advance copy, with the above-mentioned permission to quote. Since the publication of the article, the mails have been flooded with Dr. Dublin's photography properly glazed for newspaper reproduction. We rise to a question of personal privilege. Why this sudden and affectionate solicitude for the Negro press and its readers? We have been in this editorial game ever since The Mercury has been in existence, but we do not know of any other article which has received such tender avuncular encouragement, although many of the articles were equally interesting to Negroes and some of them were by Negro writers. The bee that's buzzing in our bonnet is this: Is The Mercury fathering this publicity—we are free to admit that we doubt it—or is some white insurance company taking steps to protect itself against the progress of the Negro companies which have recently gained a foothold in the North? We ask you! Eureka! WE HAVE found it! The perfect delicatessen store. It's away down in Columbus avenue, near 102nd street, but it has a certain attraction which would draw us to its counters even if it were twice the distance removed. The clerks know how to wrap up a sandwich without spitting on the paper. Page 4 Musical Comedy and Dramas BUTTERBEANS-SUSIE PLEASE AT LAFAYETTE Okeh Record Stars Prove Highly Entertaining and Are Given a Warm Ovation. Bloomfield And Greely and Miss Brooks Score Jimmy Cooper's gold diggers, Butterbeans and Susie, again proved an irresistible combination and played to a packed house at The Lafayette Theatre here all day Monday. These two amusing laugh producers certainly did make the folks laugh Monday and kept their audience laughing every second they were on the stage. There's no ifs and ands about it, Butterbeans and Susie are one of the biggest, if not the biggest big money teams in the theatrical world. The way the theatre-going public flocks to see these two highly entertaining entertainers entertain, is enough truly marvelous. Jimmy Cooper's supporting acts for his two "aces" or perhaps we should say, his "ace and queen," are also exceeding good. There's the team of LeRoy Bloomfield and Miss Aurora Greely, dancers de luxe; Theresa Brooks, soubrette and the dancing boys, Sonny and Eddie, and last but far from the least, Eddie Heywood and his Kansas City Blackbirds, a nifty little jazz band. PLEASING VAUDEVILLE AT LINCOLN THIS WEEK The Dixie Four, "Seven-Eleven" Players and Miss Seymour and Her Synco Jazzers The Lincoln Theatre has a very good vaudeville program this week, featuring a big time Keith act and a burlesque combination formerly of The Columbia Wheel, in addition to two other acts. The Dixie Four are the boys who entertain for the Keith houses and they are certainly good. This classy quartet have a way all their own of harmonizing and putting over a selection that is amusing as well as entertaining. The burlesque entertainers are Garland Howard, Mae Brown and Sterling Grant, all formerly members of the "Seven-eleven" company, which played on The Columbia Wheel last year with considerable success. The other act, that of Miss Jeannette Seymour and her Synco-jazzers, also was good and like others, pleased. THE INTER - STATE TATTLER THEATRES (BY THEOPHILUS LEWIS) JOHN SKINNER WILL MANAGE THE BAMBOO Popular Fraternal Man's First Act As Manager for the New Bamboo Inn, Wins Hearty Approval When the New Bamboo Inn, 7th avenue and 140th street, beautifully remodeled and decorated, opens the latter part of this month, Mr. John Skinner, prominent in fraternal circles and night club life, will be found welcoming Harlem's elite to the popular rendezvous. The news of this (to be) gala opening has spread like wildfire in Harlem, and there's going to be a grand rush for reservations at the last minute. Almost equally important of moment interest, was the announcement that Mr. John Skinner, one of Harlem's favorite sons, would be in charge of the popular Chinese-American establishment. Mr. Skinner has been associated with night club and social recreation life for many years. He is a member of Monarch Lodge, 45, I. B. P. O. E. W., and has been a powerful factor in the activities of this community along these lines. John, as he is fraternally known., has made an advantageous move that is certain to meet with popular approval. He's going to replace the Chinese waiters with colored waiters and of a new type. Already the call has been sounded for young students, youths attending high school or college, to fill these positions. Mr. Skinner, who is a staunch believer in education, believes that the student-waiter will be found more courteous and considerate of the guests. They, for one thing, will not be so familiar with the guests, particularly the women, which has been a source of embarrassment not only to the women, but their escorts as well, more times than once. Some of the old line waiters, when waiting upon a lady with whom they may be acquainted (perhaps a former friend), take advantage of that former friendship and forget themselves, becoming unduly friendly, much to the lady's embarrassment. These fellows forget that they are employed not to socialize with the guests or patrons, "BUT TO GIVE SERVICE." Yet, if the lady or her escort should object to this familiarity, the waiter will become indignant and "Beef" about that "Dame" actin' dicty with him, and tell about his previous friendship. This PROF. ANDERSON TO OPEN THE RENAISSANCE What will no doubt be surprising and pleasing rows to all dance lovers, will be the news of Professor Charles A. Anderson taking charge of The Renais sance Ball Room, which opens Saturday evening, September 24th. 100 Profesor Anderson has long been a Prof. Anderson popular and familiar figure in danceland, dating back ever so many years. Yet it seems as if it were only yesterday that saw his commanding presence, majestically guiding some sweet child of wisome personality and great beauty, to the dreamy strains of a love waltz. Charlie, as we are fond of calling the courageous old dancing master, has a host of friends even to this day. His genial disposition, ready smile, commanding presence and iron courage, have endeared him to all whom have the honor of his friendship. In short, he's a prince among good fellows and stands ace high. There is no question but that The Renaissance Ballroom managers made a ten-strike when they secured this guiding genius to direct the destinies of the new Renaissance Ballroom, which opens Saturday evening, September 24th. is obviously unfair and regardless of how well this same writer knew a Nordic woman, if she came into the place where he was working, she would be given the most courteous consideration, minus all familiarity.

As for the other surprises promised by the Savoy people, we'll have to wait a while as we were unable to make Messrs. Buchanan and Parker open up. Charlie Buchanan just grinned that aggravating grin of his and said, "Just wait a while and we'll tell you in good time." Harold Parker was even less larconic. Harold just shook a finger and smiled that igmatic smile of his, that's almost as aggravating as Buchanan's grin. So we'll have to wait. But just be patient and watch The Tattler from now on, for news of coming Savoy events. "How's your football star at office work?" "He wants to save the day in the last three minutes of play."

C. Hutchinson Opens New Recreation Academy for Bowling and Billiards at 685 Lenox Avenue, Northwest Corner 144th Street This new Recreation Academy is one of the most magnificent features of Harlem. It surpasses anything of its kind in the country and is a credit to its proprietors, and to the entire race. For the first time in the history of our people, these two fascinating forms of amusement, BOWLING and BILLIARDS, are placed at the disposal of our public on so lavish a scale and with so high a standard as to excel anything now to be found on Broadway. On first entrance, our patrons gasp, in admiration and astonishment at the sight afforded by 10,000 square feet of space unobstructed by a single post, devoted to the most luxurious and expensive Bowling Alleys and Billiard Tables that money can buy. The very size and arrangement of the Academy calls forth admiration. Imagine an immense room, 100 ft. long, and 100 ft. wide, affording 10,000 square feet of amusement space! Not a column, not a post, interferes with the view. A lofty domed roof, supported by immense arches, gives an air of spacious charm to the whole interior. At the same time, the domelike roof supplied with many skylights sends forth light and air to every corner of the magnificent hall. Numerous windows admit sunlight during the day, and in the evenings a marvelous electric lighting system, specially designed by an Edison engineer for the Academy, transforms night into day. The walls and ceiling are most tastefully decorated. Green foliage, most restful to the eye, extends from arch to arch, which support the roof. Could anyone desire a more charming and enjoyable a place to spend a delightful evening? Hutchinson's Recreation Academy This new Recreation Academy is scientifically planned to give our public healthful amusement. Do not confuse it with the old-fashioned, cheap amusement places of disrepute. The whole environment promotes the true sporting spirit, which aims to combine recreation with health. Unlike most Bowling Alleys which are located in ill-ventilated basements, these alleys are situated one flight up, in attractive pleasant surroundings.

Sporting New Sporting News COLORED JOCKEY WHIPS WHITE BOY AT BELMONT Two Boys Battle Desperately in Whip Duel As Horses Race to Barrier in Steeplechase Race The thousands of race goers who attended Belmont Park last Monday were given an extra thrill in the second race, a steeplechase event of two miles for three year old fillies, when Dave Holley, colored gave battle to A. Williams, a white rider. Holley was on the odds on favorite, Thomas Hitchcock's Lipingo, and Williams rode a long shot, Canterbury, owner by Bayard Warren. Holley, after a listless side for more than four fifths of the race, suddenly came to life in the closing stretch. He lifted his mount and made his bid for victory. Then something happened, but as yet, nobody has been able to discover just what. Holley reached out and struck the white boy, who was close up, a blow with his whip and from there on the two savagely fought as the fillies battled it out on their own hook, with the long shot getting the verdict by a questionable decision of the stewards. It was a disgraceful spectacle and the more so because the best horse at the weights was beaten when. Holley, after a poorly judged ride, gave way to his temper without thought of the main job at hand - the job of winning. He was punished by the stewards, who suspended him for the rest of the meeting and referred his case to the stewards of the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association for further action if deemed advisable. The stewards, however, considered Holley the aggressor and let Williams off with a reprimand.

Friday, September 16, 1927 LIFE a LIFE and ART BY PENMAN LOVINGGOOD THIS vacation has been the adventurers' paradise. That is, in so far as the brave spirit finds joy in daring and adventurous pursuits. It has been particularly so for aviation and the followers of this great calling ONE who is not particular in line with this type of daring, stands in wonder at the great nerve and daring of some men, who risk life and everything for the one purpose of reaching a certain goal, which in the eyes of the rest of us may not seem to be so much worth reaching after all. But life in the final analysis is all together colored by the glass through which we are looking and what is one man's meat and drink is another's poison. I HAVE looked at some of these pilots in the movie news reels just prior to their starts on daring flights across unknown wastes of water and atmosphere, and have always wondered what it was or is that impelled these men forward. In a like manner when Lindy made his wonderful triumph, I realized full well what this young man had done and the great tension of nerve and muscle and brain that had been required to bring this thing to pass, yet I could not just see why it was necessary in the first place. THE press and the more thoughtful friends tell us of course that transoceanic aviation must come and that these sacrifices are necessary to find out how it is to be done and what methods are necessary to effect this great stride forward. And then our uncertainty is some what lessened. LIFE is a great paradox indeed. In one instance life is very dear, and in the same instance it is very cheap. A legion will put forth unprecedented efforts to save one life, which is in some sort of danger, and will land another to the sky who flings his life into the face of fate. JAMES JAMES LOWE (Continued from Page 2) part in the two-million dollar Universal film "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Most people, we suppose, will agree with him. Certainly, a tremendously larger audience will see him in that vehicle and it will gain him national if not world-wide publicity. . nd ART THE Rockefeller Institute will go on year in and year out finding means to save life, and the scientists of the War Department will go on finding newer and greater means of destroying life. We say in our hearts that life is sweet and priceless and we utter in the same breath that we will die for a mere idea. What a Paradox! OF course the more thoughtful scientists will come forward with the view that no life is ever destrcyed, that things only change states and that what was in the beginning is now and ever shall be. Yes, this seems reasonable, but is personality, individuality, nothing? Are you so anxious to lose our identity? To fling into the face of the eternal force that formed us the very essence of the flower that has been formed from the elements of its composition. IN other words, what is man striving for? Progress! Yes, progress is ever the one single motive of the teeming tribes of men, and their progeny. But progress toward what? One can progress toward extinction. Do the races and tribes of men, encrouch upon one another, so that there are at times extinction of one group and the survival of another group, which in the nature of the thing must be termed fittest? What then of the strivings and the hopes and the fears of the unfortunate group that has been thus extinguished? Has the Cosmos no soul? Do we work for a continual progress that holds nothing of worth from a standpoint of individual enjoyment? THIS is the German and Japanese idea, that the individual is but the creature of the state, and that whatever sacrifice is to be made for the state is the one sole purpose and reason for existence. And yet the Paradox of life does not seem to verify this attitude. There must be some Balm in Gilead for the individual. --- ALREADY HIS ability has impressed both American and foreign producers of both stage and screen plays and he is at present considering several attractive offers. Recently Mr. Lowe passed through New York on his way to Europe, and while in the city began pre- . THE INTER - STATE TATTLER liminary negotiations with the Theatre Guild regarding the part of "Crown" in Porgy, a dramatization of the novel by Dubose Heyward. While in Europe he will visit England and France and then push on to Germany where he will meet Roland Hayes. LIKE SEVERAL million picture fans we are eagerly looking for ward to the time when we can see Mr. Lowe in Universal's release of "Uncle Tom." Like a smaller but, we believe, more discriminating audience we are hoping to see him in Porgy or Deep River, another American stage play in which he has been offered a part. More fortunate than these, we have enjoyed the privilege of seeing him in the natural flesh. As he wrote in the beginning he has a far more vivid character than any he has been called on to portray before camera or audience. WHILE CONVERSING with him we easily understood why the Po' Boilers readily slected him to membership in their club. Themselves men rich in esthetic feeling they recognized him as a kindred spirit. Within the actor, the mere skillful performer of stage tricks, one quickly perceives the philosopher and dreamer. It is the eternal questioning of the philosopher in him which inspires his wanderlust. It is also the source of his urge to act. The restlessness in his blood that impels him to move his body to far off places is akin to the itch of the spirit that prompts him to explore the recesses of alien souls. That is what all significant acting is. The actor searches the minds of the characters he portrays as the traveler seeks to discover the mysteries of strange and distant lands. James Lowe is the perpetual seeker. HIS UNREMITTING quest for the significant, the poignant and the unrealized has woven itself in the fibre of his being. His entire career has been a gesture of interrogation. "I want to know why" is the constant expression in his eyes When he loads his conversation with references to Weisman, Woolsey, or Minturno, it is not with the assurance of the pedant, nor to show the extent of his reading, but with the modesty of the student. He calls himself a student, by the way, feeling that it is the one term that adequately describes his attitude toward life. And with the buoyancy and enthusiasm of the student he explores strange places of the earth and far regions of thought — a solitary, romantic and gallant figure prospecting for lodes of the spirit.

Jimmy Walker's first move after arriving here several days ago, was to visit Josephine Baker's night club, where the vivacious bronze beauty greeted him with characteristic Southern dialect slang: "Well' if it ain't the Mayor of Harlem," was Josie's greetings as she grasped the Honorable Jimmy's hand in a hearty welcoming grasp. The Mayor gave the reporters assigned to cover his activities a merry chase during the past few days as he sought old friends sojourning in the big French Metropolis. They spent many a wild hour and many more Francs in taxi-fare trying to locate the ever roaming Jimmy. They arrived just a few minutes after Jimmy had left Miss Baker's establishment but knew by the genial Josephine's roguish smile that the big boss of New York City had been there. "Yes," said Josephine, "the Mayor just left after meeting my friends here and we all think he's a prince." Then, pausing a moment, continued, "I introduced him as the Mayor of Harlem, but I'm sure he didn't take offense at my mistake. You see, Harlem is all New York to members of my race." Miss Baker is the spectacular young lady who recently startled the world by announcing her marriage to an Italian Count. Josephine came here from her beloved Harlem a little over two years ago and won instant fame and favor by her unique comedy mannerisms in her theatrical engagements. RUTH L. and Marion S. will have to move to New York. Getting up at 5 and 6 a. m. in the morning to make trains won't go so well this winter. WHAT'S the matter with Genavee? She's all right.

Tell those parties that send you flowers to send string beans or spinach. We find more use for those. Notice that "we?" JIMMY S. why don't you try and be on time once in a while?

The party was given as a surprise to Mr. William Lee, her cousin, in honor of his birthday, at his beautiful apartment at 1980 7th avenue. The guests assembled at 10.

Friday, September 16, 1927 PHILADELPHIA WM. E. PETT PHILADELPHIA OFFICE CLUB PARREE OPENS THE Club Paree, located at 16th street and Lombard streets, formally the "Cinderella Inn", newly decorated, opened its doors to the public amusement seekers of Philadelphia on Labor Day evening. Every seat of the more than 250 was occupied and the gay throng made the opening one of the most auspicious in the memory of the old rst nighters. William (Daddy) Rudd is manager and Harry Coyne is proprietor. Olga Wright, Viola Halloway, Marie Moore and Oscar Howard comprise the entertainment staff whilst Cliffs Arcadians, dispensers of real jazz music, kept the gay amusement seekers on their loes throughout the evening. JUST FOR FUN POLITICALLY speaking, the dark horses in the race, meaning race for nomination, are too numerous to mention. Everything seems to hinge on the organization indorsement. OFFERS of three to one that (Daddy) Wright gets the indorsement for magistrate are being offered with plenty of money in sight around the Leftridge Buliding. FOLLOWERS of Magistrate Henry are offering to bet a million that the indorsement goes to the present holder of office with no money in sight. ACCORDING to F. Grant Gilmore, somebody played him a dirty trick. They waited until he went to N. Y. C. to try and get his candidate to withdraw THE joke of it was Casselle. According to Gilmore, Casselle he didn't know what to do when pressure was brought to bear so he left town until such time as he could be advised by Gilmore. TOM Swann, the dean of them all, voiced his opinion thusly: Oh Well, they don't know. Had they asked me to get him off, I would have asked them for something and that something would have run well up into the figures. WHEN asked point blank who was the man, Doc Lewis started to talk of the economic conditions of Atlantic City and of the record run that he had just made coming up in the old Hudson. The little group disbanded much enlightened after his talk. Believe me, Charlie knows his onions. No. 40 down Lombard and out South. --- CLERKSHIPS are being promfreely.

SAM Brown, as always, is right up in there. "More of Moore," or something like that seems to be paramount in his mind. IF the time wasn't so short we would suggest the forming of a candidate's league and let the boys play mass meetings around the circuit, making Casselle president of the league and Carl Warrick, Umpire-in-Chief. ALL of the games could be played according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. MUD for slinging purposes could be kept out of the parks. JOHN Gatling is so darn previous that he is already planning a street parade for Henry, copy for signs reading something like this, "Henry the Man," "All Hail, the Conquering Hero Comes," "When better records are made, Henry will make them." etc. MERCER. grits his teeth and says, -?* -e*- , He shall not pass.
