Published Friday of every week matter February 26, 1926, at the Get In the Negro Voters of Norfolk Refuses to Endorse Hoover Norfolk, Sept. 26.—By an overwhelming vote the Negro Voters Conference, recently held here refused to adopt resolutions endorsing Herbert Hoover on the National Republican ticket. The conference went on record as preferring to remain in the independent columns, which was the position taken at Buckroe Beach in August. Representatives were present from Richmond, Petersburg, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth and Norfolk. Seventy-five per cent of the Virginia Negro vote is in this territory. Joseph R. Pollard of Richmond. presided and P. B. Young of Norfolk, was Secretary. Thomas S. Reid of Portsmouth proposed a resolution to rescind the action of the Buckroe Beach meeting and to declare the conference in favor of Hoover and Curtis. He was supported by Theodore Nash, Frank L. Wilson George H. Wofford, R. W. English of Portsmouth, Mrs. Ora S. Stokes of Richmond and W. H. C Brown of Washington. Opponents of the resolution met and decided opposite from those who counseled partisanship and also maintained that as the Negro Voters Conference was a nonpartisan body it could not commit itself to either party. P. B Young was spokesman for this group. Senator Simmons Remains Anti-Racc Man Be A Good Citizen. Win $50.00—$30.00—or $20.00 A Chance for Amateur Politicians to Get Well Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, who has proclaimed himself a foe of Gov. Alfred E. Smith and allied himself with the Heffin, Lily-White Republicans and the Ku Klux Klan, was a leader in the disfranchisement of Negroes in North Carolina a few decades ago. THE TATTLER believes Al Smith's election to the Presidency would be a good thing for the general welfare of the country and the special interests of the Negro. The Tattler is supporting him to the limit. Furthermore we believe that any fair-mnlded Negro who will give Gov. Smith's record an impartial and unprejudiced study will come around to our point of view. We are so firmly convinced that Gov. Smith's election would accelerate the material and spiritual progress of the race that we are making it worth while for readers of this paper to study his record as a member of the legislature and as Governor of the state. Here's how: The prominent part which he took in eliminating Negroes from politics in his state is told by Carter Field in The New York Herald Tribune of recent date: "In 1898 North Carolina was under the heel of Negro leadership," writes Mr. Field. "There were Negro policemen, Negro magistrates, even a Negro member of the House, while a combination of Republicans and Populists were in the saddle at the State Capitol. Mr. Simmons took charge. He not only organized the party, he organized the famous 'Red Shirts.' He frightened the Negroes away from the polls. He did many things, which old-timers confess with chuckles admitting that the motto of the day was 'necessity knows no law.' Nor was it entirely a bloodless revolution. Several hundred Negroes were killed in that campaign, but 'the state was saved' from that moment on and Mr. Simmons never relinquished the dominating political position which he had been engaged to assume at that time. Just take your pen in hand, or sit down to your faithful typewriter, and write what you think are the ten best reasons why Gov. Smith should be elected President. That's all you have to do—write your reasons and mail or bring them to the Inter-State Tattler. This contest runs for three weeks, beginning with Friday, October 5, 1928, and ending Friday, October 19th, 1928. Seven prominent, reputable citizens will act as judges, and after careful study of each set of reasons submitted will make known their decision. Upon the decision of these judges the Tattler will pay Fifty Dollars for the first ten best reasons, Thirty Dollars for the second ten best reasons and Twenty Dollars for the third set of ten best reasons why Al Smith should be elected president. The letters of the three winners, with names and addresses, will be published. In the event of ties, each tying contestant will be awarded the prize tied for. BE SURE TO WRITE YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS, USING TYPEWRITER IF POSSIBLE. Write on one side of paper and number your reasons as you present them. Limit your reasons to no more than fifty words. Mail them in good time to reach our office by or before Friday, October 19th. Letters bearing post mark prior to that date, reaching our office later than Friday, October 19th, will be eligible for contest. But by all means, mail your letters early. "He came to the Senate almost immediately thereafter following his campaign of 1900 in which a new Constitution was written which disfranchised most of the Negroes legally. He has been in the Senate ever since." Contest is closed to Inter-State Tattler employees, Federal, state and city office holders, as well as political party leaders, executives and all professional politicians. THE CONTEST IS OPEN TO ALL OTHERS. GET BUSY AND WIN ONE OF THE THREE PRIZES. The Judges: Miss A'Lelia Walker Lester Walton Mrs. Bessye J. Bearden Mrs. Geraldyn Dismond Ralph Mizelle Dr. Albert Beasley Dr. Paul Collins This is Senator Simmons record on the race question, which is similar to the Heflins and other Negro-hating politicians of the South who are opposing Alfred E. Smith. The Interstate Jattler Democracy and the Southern Negro THE most important question of the present campaign, looked at from the point of view of the Negro, is its relation to the progress of the race in the South. In the North the Negro problem is not primarily a race or color problem but an economic problem. The social barriers we face in the North are almost identical with those other groups have faced when they were in a similar economic position and we suffer from practically no political oppression at all. In the South the Negro problem is largely a psychological condition which expresses itself in social and political injustice. Since the bulk of our population and wealth are in the South the paramount question for us to consider is what effect, if any, the success of either party will have on our future in that section. We believe that if this question is pondered in the light of political realism the unescapable answer will be that the success of the Democratic party will advance the interests of the race in the South while Republican success will retard our progress. The Democratic party, as it is at present organized, gets its ideas and money from the North. If it wins in November the men who have contributed its thought and finance and who have led the party to victory will dominate its councils. The new leadership will be Northern leadership, with the Northern habit of mind, and the old Southern leadership which has led the party to a long string of defeats will be gradually relegated to the background. The liberal element of Southern Democracy, which is now almost as completely submerged as the Negro, will forge to the front and the wholesome, sensible attitude of Northern Democracy toward all citizens, regardless of color, will become the attitude of the national party. Republican success will tend to perpetuate conditions as they are. We say this because while the Democratic party is a party of ideas in the North and a party of prejudices in the South the Republican party is a party of prejudices throughout the country. Republican strategists are appealing to the anti-urban prejudices of the rural sections, the fundamentalist bigotry of the Hill Billies, the anti-Catholic prejudices of the Protestant Churches and the sadistic fanaticism of the Anti-Saloon League. In the South, where Negroes cannot vote, the Republican party is appealing to the anti-Negro prejudices of the lily-whites while in the North, where colored citizens have the ballot, it is appealing to the anti-Southern prejudices of Negroes. Obviously the success of the Republican party will be to intrench bigotry and prejudice wherever they are established and to encourage them where they are not. A Republican victory will increase the prestige of G. O. P. lily-whites and, by embarrassing the Northern Democracy, will enable the Southern reactionaries to regain control of the party machinery. Which means that both parties in the South will be controlled by elements inimical to Negro progress. Just the opposite may be the result of a Democratic victory. The psychopathic color-bigots, finding their prejudices incompatible with the ideas of Northern leaders, will doubtless desert the party and join their brethren who have already been welcomed into the ranks of the G. O. P. Thus will progressive Democracy give the Southern Negro his first real opportunity for political expression.

Entered as second-class Y. No. 39, Friday, Sept. 28, 1928 Rev. George C .Clemont Supports Smith Akron, Ohio, Sept. 26.—The Rt Rev. George C. Clemont, one of the most influential bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, in giving his reasons for supporting Alfred E. Smith for President says: "First, I regard him as the ablest executive now in American public life, efficient, honest, fair and magnetic; second, I believe in religious tolerance, oppose bigotry, whether creed or race; third, although favoring prohibition, I am convinced that Gov. Smith could not be more favorable to liquor interests than the present administration has proven; fourth, the time is here when the Negro must divide his vote or else hazard his citizenship; fifth, Heflin and the Ku Klux Klan leaves me no other choice." This communication was addressed to the Rt. Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, who is Chairman of the Speakers Committee of the Smithfor-President Colored League. Thousands of Negroes Desert Republicans Norfolk, Sept. 26. In addressing one thousand persons at St. John's A. M. E. Church. Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom stated that thousands of Negroes in not only Virginia but throughout the country have prepared to turn away from the Republican Party and go over to Governor Smith and the Democratic Party. Bishop Ransom went into the cause of the turn in Negro sentiment and said: "Thousands are turning away from the Republican Party because the Republican National Convention put every Negro leader off the committee and put what is known as the 'Lily-White' Republicans in their places in every state. "Another reason for the turn in the tide" the Bishop said, "is that Republicans have received as a body the Ku Klux Klan of America. Republicans cannot make political bedfellows of the black people and the Klan. The black people prefer the Tammany Hall Tiger to the hood and gown of the Ku Klux Klan. "Grover Cleveland of New York, as President of the United States, gave more political recognition + the Negro in four years than Coolidge has in eight." he related.

Mr. Payne, whose home is the social center of colored London and the in, telligentsia, entertained with a tea gar- den party. They next took in Oxford, Warrick, Leicester and its cathedrals, Stratford on Avon, Ann Hathaway's cottage and the Shakespeare Theatre. By motor bus they traveled from Strat- ford to Liverpool, stopping at Chester, one of the most interesting cities in Bngland which still has its Roman walls and gates of 50 B. C., a cathe. dral, the best view of the River Dee and the former Tudor Castle of the Earl of Sussex. They continued by bus north through the industrial sec- tions which supply England's cotton. wool, stecl, iron and coal, up to Glas- gow and the Scottish Trossachs and lakes. to Edinborough castle, cathedral anu tniversity. They returned to Lon- don on the flying Scotchman, which travels 400 miles without a stop. z= ee They then sailed to Flushing, Hol- Jand, a day’s trip across the North Sea from Hargate. While in Holland they visited the Hague, Amsterdam, Vos- dam. the Isle of Markham, where the Dutch still wear their native costumes, and Haarlem. for which our own dis- trict is named and where the inhabi- tants take the keenest interest in Har- lem, N.

An Al Booster Editor of the Interstate Tattler, New York City. Dear Sir: Will you kindly publish this so that those of us who are still on the fence, so to speak, in regard as to how to vote this year, may read it and straightway make up their minds to elect Al Smith, who, as we all know, is a Catholic and because of his religion is greatly hated by the Kluxers just as we are hated because we are black. If we are looking for a man who will hear our cries against prejudice, Smith is the man; he has felt it himself, and anyone who has suffered will surely listen to a fellow sufferer. I think this is the time all black men should forget the old stuff about being a Republican and vote the Democratic ticket. Al is a man born and bred in New York, where white supremacy isn't preached as it is in the South, and then, as I said before, he knows what it is to be scorned for something you can't help, and that's the man who will do whatever he can for others who suffer. Some of us will argue that Al hasn't done this and that and the other for us at Albany. Well, maybe he hasn't, but running for Governor and running for President are two different things. New York State cared nothing about a man's religion, but when the whole country is concerned, it's something else. The solid South is Democratic and is also Klannish, and we all know how the South hates Jews, Catholics and Negroes. If the South's three great hates could pull together and send one of the despised ones to Washington, wouldn't that show them that millions care nothing for their likes and dislikes, and that by so hating them they are pushing the hated ones closer and slowly wiping out prejudice? We should think hard and see if we don't think it's best to fight the Klan by electing Smith. If Smith is elected it'll knock bigotry hard, and I hope he will be.

Mamie Smith, recording blues artist; Gulfort and Brown, who need no introductions to Harlemites, supported by Dewey Markbam, John Jerkins, Dave Gaskins and Andrew Fairchild, four clever black face comedians; Geneva Washington, a contralto with one of those soft comforting voices of incredible range; Jesse Cryor, a trick tenor, De Wayman Nailes, a contortionist, who "out-contors" anybody I ever saw; Willie Green, soft shoe dancer; Florie Jenkins, petite toe dancer; Marie Williamson and Harvey James; Juvenile leads; Danny Small's Blazers, a fascinating team of jazz dancers; and the inevitable geechee walking chorus is nothing to speak of outside of the work of the cute miss who leads it, and, really she knows her shakes and quivers. Even the great Mamie Smith, who is the best looking of the popular Smiths and wears elegant clothes left me unmoved. She has not the knack or putting over risque chansons with finesse a la Ethel Waters, and her selections have a made-over-onight air absolutely devoid of melody. Marie Williamson is really sad, but that doesn't matter because Harvey James who works with her is righteous enough for ten people. As for the rest, did I love it? They even have new jokes that are funny and clever; Gulfort and Brown harmonize out of this world; and the opening is a triumph of melodies done in the manner of Leslie's travesty of the burial scene from Porgy. My keenest enjoyment was derived, however, from the extraordinary singing of Geneva Washington, and the Danny Small's Blazer's specialty "I'm Glad I'm Brown," to which the five hoofers did a remarkable rhythmic tap Charleston. By the way, the picture, Yellow Lily, is also there. *** THE ALHAMBRA introduces a new cast in Harlem Pastime. "Dainty Ida (Baby Blues) Brown is as popular as ever with her well selected numbers. The Chinese wedding is always funny, Emmet Anthony, Crackshot, and the Misses Gant and Perkins make it perfect. The new chorus stops the show with Grazy Rhythm." What an ovation the charming Doris Rheubottom received. How did Lew Leslie miss the glorious singer? Then the drama-featuring Andrew Bishop (of the original Lafayette Players) in "Under Western Skies." Norman Johnstone plays a crooked gambler who has wronged a Mexican girl (played by Edna Harris) and tries to frame Bishop. Alonzo Fenderson plays a Justice of the Peace, etc., etc., and S. H. Dudley, Jr., his unwilling rival for the affections of the manchasing spinster (very cleverly played by Estelle Dawn). Well done and received. Back to the revue—"My Bouquet of Memories" beautifully done by Doris Rheubottom the girls and the Four Alhambra Dancing Boys. The gang visit a Harlem flat, and How. Gant and Perkins are a riot in their specialty. Anthony is the Judge and Dudley the Prosecuter in the funniest courtroom finale. --- THE LINCOLN offers "Parisiana" fast and unique, from "The King for a Day"—opening, featuring Dandridge, his golden tenor in fine form and the girls displaying costumes and dances of different nations. Clint and Marie (Dixie Nightingale) are as classy a dancing and yodeelling duo as can be found. Harry May's scores with his tap dancing. Bob Williams holds the comedy honors. Assisted by Locks Wilson and Mose Gaston. The comedy situations are new and good, and his eccentric dancing stopped the show. Versatile Sterling, (Red) Grant is very popular. His voice is somewhat strained but otherwise his work merits the highest praise. Prince Shah Babar, Indian crystal-gazer, answers questions for the audience in a marvellous manner. He will give a special matinee for ladies only on Thursday morning. Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds", Coldly Received by the Critics, Emerges Sensational Success The byword of Broadway, "Look at 'Abie's Irish Rose'", has now been changed to "Look at Lew Leslie's 'Blackbirds of 1928.'" The celebrated "Abie" came to Times Square a dismal flop and emerged the most remarkable success in show business. And while "Blackbirds" has achieved no such reputation as yet, it arrived at the Liberty Theatre last May in a most unobtrusive manner and for ten weeks struggled through the heat a mediocre success. Then something electric happened. The show jumped to capacity business and for nine weeks has held as many customers as can manage to squeeze into the Liberty Theatre at each performance, Wednesday and Saturday matinees and the Thursday midnight shows included. The very thing that put "Able's THE NEW YORK TIMES LLOYD MITCHELL, clever Acrobatic Dancer, who is one of the outstanding characters of Lew Leslie's Blackbirds of 1928, now playing at the Liberty Theatre.

They even went so far as to make known their desire to take the female part of the cast home with them. Which in the opinion of Bill Robinson was a bit too far. Accordingly Mr. Robinson stopped the performance and read the disorderly ones a brief lecture on theater etiquette. The speech, while it was applauded by most of the audience, did not make much of a hit with those for whose edification it was intended. Instead the rowdies became even more boisterous, whereupon Mr. Robinson challenged the entire body to mortal combat. Conflict was averted by the time appearance of gendarmes. According to all reports Mr. Robinson had all the best of it in his verbal tilt with the disturbers. Those who know Mr. Robinson are of the opinion that he would not have come off second best if fists had been substituted for wise cracks, for "Bo" is almost as handy with his knuckles as he is with his feet. Although Harlem newspapers wrote up the incident like it was somebody's funeral, the affair was doubtless amusing as well as exciting. Tilts across the footlights usually are. Sometimes either the actor or his adversary in the audience is embarrassed but the passage at arms usually provides neutral observers with a liberal ration of fun. For instance there was the time when Bert Williams agreed to act as assistant to a knife thrower. The act consisted of the principal standing his wife up against a board and throwing knives with a hair's breadth of her body. Once, as a novel variation, the principal asked for volunteers from the audience, and Bert, with no little trepidation, decided to take a chance. He stood up against the board while the knife thrower, with his usual coolness, took a quick aim and hurled the blade. The knife impaled the board as close to Bert's ear as the buffalo is to a nickel. The audience was too astounded to either applaud or speak—all but one, a ten-year-old boy who broke the silence with—"My God! He missed the coon!" A no less amusing incident occurred during a performance of Othello by a troupe of colored barnstormers. They had reached the scene in which Othello commands Desdemona to produce the handkerchief which he believes she has lost in the tent of her lover. "Where is your handkerchief?" Othello demanded again, with greater vehemence. At this point an old deacon in the audience became impatient. "Go on nigger," he grumbled, "and wipe your nose on your coat-sleeve. Let the play go on." There was also the actor who did not play the part of Richard III just to the taste of the god in the gallery. It was the battle scene. "A horse! A horse!" Richard exclaimed. "My kingdom for a horse!" "Won't a jackass do for you?" a heckler bellowed from the gallery. "Sure," the actor replied. "Come around to the stage door." serves to retard the business of a Broadway production, but Lew Leslie had faith in his product. He rearranged several numbers, rehearsed the chorus in new steps, placed two new comedy skits in the show and then hustled around trying to convince people he had a great show. For a time business was just so and so, and then the numbers that came to see "Blackbirds' increased almost daily.

"Only my faith in the show has turned what looked like a failure into a huge success," said Lew Leslie. "I knew I had one of the greatest colored shows that ever came to New York, but the job of convincing playgoers of it was no easy task. The battle, however, has been won and what pleases me equally as much as the success now attendant upon it is that my faith in 'Blackbirds' has been justified." COLORED THEATRE" ETTE at 132nd ST.

I'll start pounding my old Underway that I hope the public will can be said about "Show Boat" is that we do not get enough of "Joe," the part in which Paul Robeson made a great hit at Drury Lane. Gilbert Holland, the colored singer from New York, is a worthy successor. A young man of magnificent build, with the lithe figure of an athlete, he gave an admirable performance. Earl Dancer's extravaganza, "Deep Harlem," which opens October 1st at the Lafayette Theatre, is billed as an evolution of Negro music from the time of the first weird beat of the tom-toms in Africa, the wail on the Slave ship, the abiding faith shown in the spirituals while on the plantation; the moaning blues while on the chain gangs; the high spirit shown in his charleston dance on Seventh Avenue to his reverting back almost to the savage in the gin mill, shows the humor and pathos of America's most picturesque citizens. The book, music and lyrics were written and will be played by these dusky sons of Ham—Whitney, Tutt, Joe Jordon, Andy Razaf and J. C. Johnson.

Joe Mendez- "Pearl of the Antilles" --- As we write this epistle dedicated to one of the most colorful luminaries who ever trod the diamond, our one regret is that he was denied the chance to exhibit his wares in fast company. Oldtimers may argue that Andrew (Rube) Foster, former president of the National Negro Baseball League, Lindsey, Whitworth, Joe Williams ("Old Hoss"), Wickware, Buckner, Pedrosa, Steel arm Taylor, McClelland, Redding, Hubbard, Dave Brown et al, are deserving of equal rating with the dark skinned petrel of Cuba—but this writer holds to his opinion. Friday. September 28. 1928 Joe Me As we write this epistle de colorful luminaries who one regret is that he was der wares in fast company. Oldtin (Rube) Foster, former presi Baseball League, Lindsey, W Hoss"), Wickware, Buckner, McClelland, Redding, Hubbard serving of equal rating with Cuba—but this writer holds t Cuba, has sent many great ballplayers to the States, many of whom have written their names indelibly into the archives of the National pastime to wit; Palmero, the thin faced descendent of Cortez who labored a few seasons with the New York Giants, Adolfo Luque,—erstwhile ace of the Cincinnati pitching corps; Mike Gonzales, recently released by the Giants pilot to Rajah Hornsby of the Cardinals from whence he was secured; Jose Acosta, who saw both minor and major league service; Arragon, Cueto, and the fleet fly chaser of the Cincy red stockings—Marsans. But greater by far than any of the aforementioned galaxy of diamond greats to our way of thinking was Joe Mendez. Had Blinding Speed Mendez, reminded one strongly of Joe Wood, when the former Boston Americans pitcher was in his neydey employing building speed coupled with a crosshire that rivaled Eugie Plank's best stock in trade. Of slight build and of average statue, the nery Cuban was one of the strongest men we've ever met. During the season of 1911 when the N. Y. Yankees were using Highland Field at 168th street and Broadway, Mendez hooked up in a twirling duel with Joe Williams of the famous Lincoln Giants that will live long in the memory of those who were fortunate enough to procure seats. The Lincoln Giants wore the proud title of Worlds Semi-professional champions winning 108 sand lot victories out of a schedule that called for 120 games-a truly marvelous record. Mendez who pitched for the celebrated Almendares Club of Cuba in all of their home games, was the chief attraction of a first grade troupe of ball tossers known as the Cuban Stars. The two teams were billed to appear in five games to settle supremacy. The thrill of the series came in the very first meeting of the star ensembles. Wins In Tenth For nine innings Mendez and Williams turned back the batters as fast as they came up. Commencing with the tenth Hidalgo for the Cubans punched a scorching liner to the territory patrolled by "Jud" Gans that fell for a single. Valdez the next batsman, bit a sharp twisting grounder to Johnny Llyod the Lincolns short fielder who ferried the ball over to first holding Hidalgo to the bag. Junco second baseman of the stars crossed lanky Joe by laying down a perfect bunt along the first base line making the hassock safely by a head on slide ala Fankie Frisch, Hidalgo dancing up and down on the midway bag like a dervish. Moran, after having the count two and three on him, poled a texas leaguer over George Wright's head that fell safely when poles attempted to make a circus catch, and the crowd of 20,000 leather lunged baseball fanatics made for the exits. It was a fitting climax to a wonderful pitching duel that will live long in our memory. The final score was 1-0 in favor of the Cuban Stars, Mendez allowing but two hits, and Williams but three measly bingles--you can tell the world mates it was a ball game.

MONARCHS ALTHO HE IS WELL PAST 40 Beat "Matty" Once It wasn't until the following year however that Mendez startled the sport world by the sheer brilliancy of his pitching. No other than John McGraw, moulder and leader of Champions, invaded the Island with a crack-team composed of Brooklyn and Giant players. McGraw's purpose was to bring the mountain to Mahoumet and show the Islanders just how American baseball really looked when played by teams of big league calibre. Instead what he witnessed served to elicit from him a most glowing tribute for Mendez. Mathewson and Rucker—what names to conjure with, were the pitchers that the "little Napoleon" relied upon to thoroughly initiate the swarthy Cubans. To make a long story short, Mendez beat the immortal Mathewson in a base- By ALVIN J. MOSES ball classic that lasted 10 innings to the tune of 4,3, and two days later turned back Nap Rucker and the big leaguers in a game that went the regulation route of nine innings by a 2-1 count.

Such was the greatness of the man we attempt in part to acquaint our readers with. Pitched 20 Years All this transpired quite some time ago as you no doubt realize yet the king of sandlotter's dates his career farther back than 1911. Mendez began playing the game in 1906, a matter of twenty-two years, and the strange part of it is that he still retains no little of that inexhaustable cunning that earned him ranking among the game's greatest. Two years ago gray fox of the profession took --- part in the colored World Series, appearing in the box during one of the games for the Kansas City Monarchs. He is the only living semi-pro who threatens the Longevity record of Joe Williams. former Lincoln Giant pitcher who has been at it some 25 seasons but thats another story. In addition to pitching, Mendez filled in capacity at second base and shortstop.

His great victory over Henny Goldberg, conqueror of Rene Devos, the Belgian ace, who in turn worsted Georgie Courtney; places Moore right up there with the leaders for the Middleweight championship. Jimmy, was always a high class club fighter who never failed to please the crowd, and in addition to that wonderful left hand of his, has developed a right that is a 'Darby". Moore, bars no one at the weight, and welcomes a shot with K. O. Phil Kaplan, Dave Shade, Courtney. Devos, or Mickey Walker. --- Antilles" Jerry Stephens Wins Jerry Stephens, 112 pounds, defeated Ray Davis, 112, in one of the greatest fights seen at the Lynbrook Club in many moons. Ray visited the canvas three times from short rights and punishing left hooks, but he was game to the end. Says Jerry Stephens, "I doff my hat to him, gallant little fighting man that he is." Jerry may be seen in action on Thursday at Farmingdale if a slight cut which he suffered in his bout with Ray is healed enough. Lincoln's Win Two A single by Manager John Lloyd in the eleventh inning scored two runs for the Lincoln Giants and won the first game of a double header from the Quaker City Giants at Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, September 23. The final score was 3-2. In the other contest 'Little Davy" Thomas pitched the local team to a 4-3 victory. The Lincoln were sailing along nicely in the eleventh inning of the first contest when Baynard hit a home run. Connie Rector and 'Big Boy" Jackman were the opposing pitchers and both had been pitching great ball. Baynards home run gave the Quaker City team a one run lead but the Lincolnns never stopped fighting. Rojo, the first man at bat, in their half of the eleventh, hit a two bagger; Spearman, who hit for Williams, got on through an error by the second baseman. Then Gray singled and scored Rcjo, tieing up the game again. Lloyd came up and won the game on the next pitched ball with a long single to right field. It was the first appearance in the Bronx of Danny McClellan's team and their playing made a big hit with the fans. They played an equally snappy brand of ball for the second game, which so impressed the management of the Lincolns, that they were immediately booked for a return engagement next Sunday.

Our enrollment this year is the largest in the his- tory of the institution. A Fresh- man class of nearly two hundred coupled with the men from the other classes have taxed these old buildings to the utmost. You can almost hear the rafters in the halls groan as the fellows troop up and down the corridors. If a large en- rollment is any indication, then truly, this year is the dawning of a newer and better Lincoin. One by one the men come strag- gling up the road from the station, Seniors with a newly acquired dig- nity. Juniors with the supercilious airs that only a Junior can wear. The Sophmores, the terrible. ter- rible Sophmores, come in bunches with blood in their eyes and anger in their hearts toward any poor Freshman who is unlucky enough to fall.into their hands. And the Freshmen, GREEN is the only ad- jective in my poor vocabulary that can fittingly describe them. Poor unbenighted things, the strange surroundings and the pangs of homesickness make them creep timidly around the campus ducking the ridicule of the other classes. In a few weeks, however, they too will be an integral part of Lincoln and will be bubbling over with the spirit of Lincoln. Of course football is the topic of conversation on the campus at present. Bull sessions are held until the wee hours of the morning, weighing the potentialities of our various opponents and the strength of our Lions. Capt. Martin has a fine team to lead this year and we expect it to go through the season with flying colors. September 29 will tell a lot when Doc’s charges go up against the veteran team from A. and T. of North Carolina. With such veterans in the back- field as Robinson, Hill, Allen, Tem- ple, Fraser, Freeman, Waters, Sydnor and Young on the line plus a wealth of new material, Coach Morrison is putting a fighting bunch of Lions on the field who intend to bring back to the Orange and Blue the prestige of former years.

No names will be published. Letters enclosing a stamp will be forwarded to persons for whom they are intended. The Tattler does not assume responsibility for the good faith of correspondents. Address Jackie Nobile, Editor of Lonesome Hearts Column, Inter-State Tattler. "If you had no one near you Who would try to cheer you, You'd be lonesome, too." "I wonder if there is a modern, up-to-date girl who reads the Tattler that is lonely for the friendship of a modern and ambitious youth of 26? I'm really lonely for the friendship of a sincere pal: one between the ages of 20 and 24; a girl who loves games and sports and shows of the better variety. "I'm a hard-working man of normal habits and am healthy and alert. A congenial working girl who is neat and snappy is where my heart is. So. Jackie, I believe you will help me find her. Won't you?" (I think there is a girl just for this young man. I am radioing the open spaces. Will she please listen in?) ★ ★ ★ "Jackie Nobile, I am here tonight real lonesome, with no one to write to or hear from. I am 22 years old, brown skin and about five feet and six inches tall. I am in a little trouble but only have a short while to stay. It is my intention to start a new life over and be a better man. I would be delighted if you would kindly give me an introduction to some young lady about 18 or 23." (If there is a young lady who is interested in the above young man she may be able to do some work in reformation and incldentally secure a friend or husband.) * * * "Dear Miss Jackie: Just a few lines to thank you for the wonderful work you have done for Lonesome Hearts, and to ask you to get me some nice girl around 35 who is lonesome, too. I am a man who does not like but one girl, and if she is affectionate and kind I would do all I could for her. Try and get one around 185 pounds, light brown skin or light. I love big women." --- "We are the most lonesome men here in the world. That is because no one cares for us, but we are very glad to read of the many others that are made happy by your appreciated column. You can understand our feelings here in the dark. Maybe if we were out in the free world with the rest we would not be so lonesome. "In your column of August 3 there was an interesting letter with the inquiry: Could a gentleman appreciate a woman that is not beautiful of face or form? Here is what my halfbrother and I have to say about it: 'If the lady is true, lovable, kind, respectable and clean, what more could a man want? He would have all the real beauty that a woman could give. "If we could only get someone to hear our plea there would be two and two hearts happy, and four more stars in your crown. I am a nice brown. 28 years old. 5 feet 2 inches, 130 pounds weight. My brother is light. 29 years old, 5 feet 6 inches, 145 pounds. We both are musicians and have a very nice little washboard band here known as Smiling Johnny's Reformers. Now, my dear friend, if there is anything you can do for us. PLEASE do it." (I have been puzzled recently. In reading many letters from the prisons I have found a nobility of thought that is quite amazing. Surely environment plays a wonderful part in the lives of men.)

S. Dept. of Labor Commends Porters' Union Fight for Living Wage IN a convincing and powerful statement issued by Ethelbert Stewart, Commissioner of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor, the whole wage policy of the Pullman Company was discredited and repudiated and condemned as being un-American, unfair and unethical. Says he, "The threat of the Pullman porters and malds to tie up the Pullman car service with a national strike again brings to public attention, the war which workers have been waging for years to abolish the custom of tipping. And for once the innocent bystanders stand solidly behind the embattled strikers (porters)...." When the article by Commissioner Stewart was brought to the attention of A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer, he observed that this attitude of the United States Department of Labor is extremely significant and indicative of the growing and accumulating power in terms of public sentiment which is destined to drive the Pullman Company to capitulate the porters' union. He continued, "There is no individual or institution in America which is more powerful than public opinion, and the case of the porters for a living wage and the right to organize has struck a sympathetic cord, which will continue to resound until the antiquated wage policy of the Pullman Company and its intolerant attitude toward its Negro Pullman porters, organizing a union of their own, is completely scrapped and destroyed. There is no higher authority on matters of labor in America than the United States Department of Labor. Its endorsement of the porters' fight should dispel any remaining doubts about the Movement that may linger in the minds of the timid and skeptical." Commissioner Stewart of the Labor Department observed, "But why should these men referring to Pullman porters, be paid only from $72.50 to $78.00 a month by their employer and be expected to swell their earnings by what amounts to begging? These porters, like everybody else, are entitled to a living wage. And at present prices an American cannot have a wife, home and children and look after them properly if the wage earner make a penny less than $40.00 a week." What more convincing argument as to the justifiability of the porters' flight can one expect than the foregoing statement from the United States Department of Labor, says the porters' chief. Sunnyside Notes Nicholas Burris, President Council No.1 of Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, wishes all the men to sign up when their turn comes. A drive is being made for a 100 per cent membership in the organization. The dispensation will be in effect a few more weeks and you are urged not to delay. Meetings as usual—second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The Tattler is as popular in the office at Sunnyside as it is on the cars. Let us hope that a stronger bond of friendship between all elements at Sunnyside will develop through the reading of railroad notes. At least four men are leaving this week for College. May they be successful in their efforts. The school at Sunnyside has issued no prospective, so we are at a loss to know when we will graduate or what degrees are offered. Some of the men said that we had too many plates, and one waiter demonstrated how they could be placed on the table. He did a clever piece of work—but he was an exceptional waiter. Garner is the name. Read the Dining Car Stewards Magazine presented to me by Mr. MacGrath—very fine piece of work. The article by the chef at the Waldorf is O. K., but he did not have to nickname his colored brother as he did by referring to colored cooks as "darkies". I do not blame the Magazine for this as the writer is not a member of the staff. However, I hope that the colored cooks of America will keep aloof from industrial cooking as they will lose their distinctive --- Friday, September 28, 1928 军 军 军 ```markdown ``` * * * * * * * * * qualities by adopting it—and furthermore, when America wants an honest-to-goodness square meal (like chicken a la Maryland or old fashioned ham and cabbage with corn bread and dozens of other palatial dishes that no one can cook in our manner except our cooks) what will she do, if the colored cook is Industrialized? You do not have to guess if there are enough calories in a pan of pork and beans backed up by sugared jams and snow white biscuits. You know you have something to eat and you'll work, fight or play with more zest on a diet of old fashioned southern and Yankee dishes than you will on any system of industrial cooking yet devised. The many beneficial features of the Provident Loan Association of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. will be outlined for information in a near future issue of the Tattler.
