Roberts is possessed of a giamt's physique; a sculptured study in bronze. Learned im the ways of the world, and fully understanding his position, the black mam liives such an exemplary life that it calls for approbation from the periodicals of the country. He is given credit for being "A Good Negro." After years of service im the ring, fighting infrequently for lack of opponents who were afraid to face him—a white fighter by the name of Jack Rooney is matched to meet the "bronze terror." Harry "Kid" Roberts is nearing the end of his career. Harry is married to a loving and affectionate wife. The night before the scheduled flight with Jack Rooney, the black man's wife. Alice, leaves the house, presumably for the theatre. Roberts is badly upset when twelve o'clock arrives, and Alice does not return. He hurries to the theatre to find out; Why? The ticket-seller tells the worried Harry that Alice has driven off with a "high brown skin" man; "Is that so"—Roberts bit out the words—CONTINUED. --- Our Plank More playgrounds, Greater cooperation Racial independence, and recognition.

He hurries to the theatre to find the worried Harry that Alice has skin" man; "Is that so"—Roberts bit out t "Thank you" responded Harry as he whirled on his heel. Making his way back to his apartment, his brain rioted with racing thoughts. He found it as he had left it. Morning dawned. The beginning of a glorious day. Alice had not put in her appearance. It was the day of the fight. No call came over the phone from her. Every time it rang he jumped. Not Alice, but bothersome inquiries from friends "How he felt?"—God! he would whisper to himself, what a question to ask. "Was it a sure thing?" "How should they bet?" "Would he knock the 'Fay' boy out or let him travel the route?" The questions were inane troublesome sources of torture to the despondent black man. His magnificent shoulders sazed. The day of the fight. His brain was tottering in the balance. He felt more like sobbing than fighting. The backbone of everything that mattered was destroyed with Alice gone. At three P. M. the day of the fight. Johnny Bascomb, his manager called in person. "What in the world is the matter with you Harry?" was his greeting as he glimpsed the woe begone countenance of his star scrapper. "My Heavens! Cheer up. You're fighting tonight." "I don't think so" was Harry's slow reply. "Snap out of it!" admonished Bascomb. "Tell me your woes." "My wife." Harry gulped. "Gone." "Blast these women." rasped Johnny stridently. He got no further. "Hold it!" commanded Harry. "That's my wife." "No harm meant." explained the perturbed manager. "These women cause no end of trouble. Thrones totter at their whims." Harry relapsed into silence, pacing restlessly back and forth hands behind his back. "Please, Harry," Bascomb pleaded "Stop that! You're only tiring yourself." The "Black Shadow" dropped on the nearest chair like an empty sack. "Woe! Woe is me!" groaned Johnny. "After a life time of trials The Interstate Jattler and tribulations. Having brought a great fighter to the fore. A potential champion, and my boy's career is about to be ruined by the whim of a woman! "Women. Women Women"—the manager almost cried in his grief, grief. Harry, hearing the lamentations of his friend, leaped to his feet. "I wont go back on you Johnny he said. "I'll go through with this fight." Bascomb hugged the bronze glau in his ecstasy. "If you win—Of course you will." ILL import the prettiest South American beauty I can find, to take Alice's place." Harry smiled sadly. "You mean well Johnny but that's rubbing it in. 'I love but once' he added and that's for always. Those remarks are little short of sacrilege to me." "You know best" was Bascomb's sympathetic response. "Let's run over to the office so that I can ascertain your weight." Harry reached for his hat. "Might as well." he responded. After the weighting process Harry quickly divested himself of Johnny's company. He wanted to be alone. Bascomb insisted on staying, hoping to break him out of his brooding, but Harry was adamant. Home once more, his eager eyes scanned the rooms. No. Alice had not returned. It was now seven o'clock. Three hours before his fight. He had merely dallied with the light meals ordered from a near by restaurant. He had no desire to eat. This night was fated to be the most eventful of his brilliant career, yet he had no desire to uphold his great name. Reputation was at stake and he did not care CHAPTER VI IT was nine thirty P. M. Half an hour before the main fight. The arena was dazzling in its brilliancy. Those in ring side seats one hundred yards away could discern the preliminary fighters as ghostly shadows against a white background. There were rumblings of discontent. Good money had passed at THEATRE The BLACK SHADOW "Alice! Your mother is at death's door. Appendicitis! She begs you to hasten to her bedside." 5 THEATRE the gate is not a seat. Round other rooms of wood and teresting souls were also from preliminary figures. A rabid gathering of asts is comparable to a sort of tossing cooked well, and may turn to a group of satisfied souls that could only be regarded with a delicate table morsel. --- --- ALVIN J.

"Bring 'em on. Bring 'em on, the fang howled in unison. "What's holding up de show?" Ten o'clock on the dot, Jack Rooney. Harry's white opponent, wazzered down the aisle. He was same. Ignoring the taunts hurled by some of the throng, he calmly clampered through the ropes. --- --- --- Unreservedly we sponsor "Harlem" for Harlemites—Co-operate now in the business World before it is too late. Rooney industriously rubbed his feet in the powdered resin, then jerked the ropes savagely displaying well developed arms. Lifting each foot knee high from the canvassed floor, he gradually loosened up his joints. A scowl lurked on his battered features. A cauliflower ear predominated.

We have been sweltering and yet we have been expected to do society. We have made an effort, but it wasn't so forty. The grand rush began Wednesday evening, the eve of Decoration Day. The Fish Club, composed of popular male members of the about-towners, tossed a wicked cabaret party at Bamboo Inn and being cold and clammy (at least according to name) paid the weather not that first bit of mind; The Pierrettes, who go in for ruffles and tulle, carried on at the swankie Witaka Club and drowned their warmth in ices; while the w.k. Evelyn Laney celebrated her birthday in grand style at the Dark Tower, and we know not whether we were damp from the liquids or the heat. Nor did we care. There were so many sharp new gowns on display, so many crab patties and French sandwiches to be consumed, such potent blossoms to sip, that we settled down to a melting good time. But Evelyn is just the type to even put one over on the weather man. The night ended in the Village at Mildred Coswell's, where highballs were high and well chilled ```markdown ``` Thursday belonged to the great outdoors, with honors divided between Study Rest, where they golfed for the Cockburn trophy and the Cheshire Country Club in the foothills of Connaught. The less sporting members of society sought the beaches and the network of road houses which offered special shore dinners for the day. ```markdown ``` Friday night brought the silver wedding anniversary celebration of the Solomon Johnson's. The Johnson's are famed for the calibre of their parties, but this one set a record for them. Fresh cut flower, decorated their spacious apartment from end to end roses, preties, sweet peas, gladiolus, carnations, baskets of them, vases of them, tanks of them. The party spread from kitchen to parlor. We danced, sipped, visited, dined, and to perfection. In addition to all the Johnson's Sol Katherine Elizabeth, Margaret and Carrie, were Otto Stedman, Dr. William Herbert, Dr. Edward Best, Alys Hershaw, Harriet Butcher, Ann Buckman, the Edwardo Castros, the U. Conrad Vincents, Ralph Mizelle, the James Williamsey, the William Davises, Martha Dainey, Ida Hilton, Alvin Moses, the Marshall Rosses, Theodore Perdue, James Lightfoot, Julius Washington, Cecil McPherson, John R.

Her class is made up entirely of children of Brooklyn and all dances were arranged and taught by Miss Jones. The program was long but very well arranged. The audience never tired. Just before the finale they were clamoring for more. The costumes which were designed by Miss Jones and executed by the parents were glorious. Each little girl and satin and brocade slippers to match her little frock. Little Mildred Chambers and her "Diga. Diga Do" has been equaled only by Queen Adelaine herself. Little Miss Mildred, who is about five or six years wise, was very briefly clad in red satin and red ostrich plumes. William Holloday as the Nautch Dancer was lovely such technique, such grace is not often seen in our amateur presentations. Tiny Priscilla Taylor as "Jack" in the Giant Killer skirt was darling. She was not left out in the ensemble, holding her own with the largest girls. Among the ensembles, the tappers, toe ballet, puckin' cotton, and the soft shoe dancers deserve special mention. And there is a slim brown child, Ella Myers, who, each year, "stops the show." Her interpretation of "Mean to Me" caused her to take several encases. When Miss Jones danced the Stage Dance, we observed her technique and grace and then we fully understand her success with her children. Miss Jones has studied with Grave Blake, Yeston and Alexander Savinny. Her pupils are Mildred Asking, Sarah Wilson, Grave Brown, Melen Brown, Laverne Bille, Therima Burnett, Mildred Chambers, Aime Comme, Grave Countriser, Vera Chadwick, Katha Downes, Doris Dunn, Valerie Dunnick, Worries Here we have the guests who attended the Party De Luxe given by ROSH LOUILR SWAIN in honor of ASA T.

The deceased, Mrs. Grace Richardson, a native of Orange, N. J., born May 20, 1822, died at the Roxbury Hospital after a long illness. She lived a life that was of high caliber and that no one could ridicule. She was a loving girl and was beloved by all with whom she came in contact.

Andrades Lindsey, graduate pianist, Fiske University and Damrosch School of Music, gave fine support as an accompanist. Gertrude Mars Martin was the recipient of repeated encores. She was at her best and truly demonstrated her genuineness in the mastery of her instrument. The ever appreciated Marion Cumbo was delightful in his rendition of the compositions of E. H.

RESUMING the subject of Pharmacodontal processes, I will now give definitions, methods of preparation, and examples of each of the following: "Percolation" (Displacement). This is the means by which the extraction of the soluble constituents of a powder by the descent through it of a solvent "the menstrum" in a suitable vessel, the "percolator," the resulting solution being called the "percolate." Percolation enters into the manufacture of a great majority of the official preparations of organized drugs. The method used is a scientific one and great care should be exercised in its procedure which is of course practical. It is us follows: Place the percolator on the stand, and place the cork plug at bottom end, with a hole, so as to allow the "percolate" to drop through. In the bottom, inside percolator, with a hole in the center, put in powdered drug, pour menstruum, and allow to drop through outlet in cork at end of percolator until the required amount is percolated. Ex. Tincture, Belladomine, Tincture of Belladomina (Deadly Night Shade). Maceration; This form of preparing some of the official Tinctures is a simple process, yet very scientific. It is the extraction of the soluble portions of a substance which is not wholly soluble in the menstruum, by prolonged contact therewith; and proceeds in this manner. Place the powdered drug (organic) in a suitable vessel, or wide-mouth bottle, and pour in menstruum; allow to stand for some time, which varies, then filter the resulting solution or "macerate." ning, June 1st, at the Crystal ballroom, new home of Brooklyn Elks.

SYPHILIS of the bladder is a condition that is very rare and the lesions may go undetected. Examination tion of the inside of the bladder (eye (ocopie)) examination may reveal circumscribed infiltrum military areas. 1. Syphilis of the kidneys (cremia) is also very rare. Patients in the second stage of the disease may have albumin and crests (material obtained from small tubes of kidneys) in the urine. This is probably due to the irritation caused by the attempt on the part of the kidneys to eliminate the syphilitic germs and their poisonous products. In the third stage of the disease syphilitic tumors may be found in the kidneys. These tumors are different sizes and may appear on the outer part as well as within the substance of the kidney. There may be a degeneration of the substance of the organ or it may become hardened similar to the condition of hardening of the liver. Various types of kidney troubles are found as a result of syphilis infection and the condition of the kidneys are similar to that of Bright's disease. The entire kidney may become small and hard and other causes besides syphilis may be at work producing lesions in the kidneys, such as alcohol, excessive amounts of patassium iodine used in the treatment of syphilis), etc. In the latter instance it may be determined by discontinuing the medicine, that an improvement in the kidney condition is noted. In advance forms of syphilis kidney disease as in similar conditions from other causes, it will be found by a test on the kidney that the elimination is retarded. This decreased output of urine and a laboratory analysis will give the condition of the kidney. Kidney disease is one of the chief causes of death in this country and even through syphilis of the kidneys is very rare, the habit that generally accompany syphilis, namely, when woman and son are also causes of disease of the kidneys. You have only one pair of kidneys to protect them. Don't give tea or coffee to children. They have no value on food, and are not an artificial stimulant. Milk is more nourishing, more healthy and far better for growing children. The Harlem Intercollege and Health Committee, 202 West 124th Street, New York City.

It was written by one of the members of the cast and although designed especially for children, was one that the grown ups enjoyed the well. Of special note on the acting of the Melissa Dalney, recently of the Broadway success "Hurlem" Mina Dubuay as Princess, was ably supported by a cast of professionals and members of the Columbia Hill Neighborhood dramatic classes. As the Columbia Hill Theatre intends to cater to children in its Saturday morning programs especially, it is deserving of the support of all well-thinking parents.

The The The Theatre BENNIE BUTLER, Theatrical Editor At The Lafayette This week, the Lafayette Theatre has corking good entertainment and I don't say it because I happen to be starring in one of the photo play talkies. I'm sin core about this, although I'll modestly admit that I'm certainly good and that's that. In addition to myself in the spicy little cabaret talkie, oh boy, and as Ralph Cooper says. "I'm hot," there's a number of other classier or, I mean, classy entertainers including Ralph Cooper, Putney Dandridge, Troy Brown, Olyve Hopkins, Roland Irving, the "Three Brownies," Irvin C. Miller, and the "Birmingham Four," not to mention as nifty a chorus aggregation of pretty babies as you'd wish to lamp. Most all of these folks were featured in this great picture with me. Troy Brown was a riot on the screen and on the stage legit. This monstrous ebony gent sure can shake a wicked hip. In fact, I'll have to say a pair of hips, all though Troy favors the right one most. When he came out on the stage in bathing attire and started skipping rope, he came near to causing a panic of mirth. In addition to a remarkably fine talking voice, Dick Barthelness is revealed as a splendid singer whose rendition of "Weary River" the song which he wrote behind prison bars, reaches into the office of the governor and brings about his release. Unfortunately, the desire for revenge grips him and he returns to his old evil ways, determined to "get" the man for whose crime he was sent to prison! Every member of the family will find "Weary River" the finest bit of entertainment which the screen has yielded in years.

WILLIAM DUNN, 216 Why Nardie Drama By Negroid It might be a may may time now, the theatre goers, who will be the various critics, have been dazzled by the dramatic entertainment in the uptown theaters. It may be a may time now, at the Alhambra Theater in Bowie Botton, Ted Blackmon, Edna Hodge, Eleanor Beer, Billy Andrews, Artie Cain, and Nancy Rodden, Barrington Carter, Edna Hodge, Big White, and wherever else happen, the theater have been seen in dramatic skits. It was written. Once in a while, one finds you must often when it is bad and rotten, it is gay, gay, transveses. The main reason, we the directors are not actually miscast. Frank Timmerman, who is now guiding the theater, has heard the call of drama, having with his husband and her dramatic partner, Mrs. Hodge and her company are good, whom he is to trust, but they cast themselves in a different united for them. Last year in "They Know What They Want," I was asked, like a little white girl who married Mr. Wise Hodge, was taking the part of a woman of the opinion that she should have made a movie even George Kandol act the part of a woman merely gray his hair. To our mind, it takes more than grazing hair to make a Negro resemble in those United States. The director of the various companies with it there is any physical difference between the man, or they ignore it altogether. There is, nevertheless, somewhere in Ohio that there have been, we understand, colored governors are extremely uncommon and we can imagination to the extent of feeling that all in the true kind of theatre. Lanora Ulric Darkenad herself to resemble Mary Bella'. The leading man of "Going Home" turns to resemble a Negro. But both were unaware of the fact. Barrington Carter makes a good Jew, but her persuade me to believe that she is Irish, not Irish. Ted Blackmon is a good, versatile actor, but it got up enthusiasm enough to believe his and aristocrat of Mayflower extraction. Mr. Watte is also a versatile man, but we do not to be an English nobleman. He is too dull, but does not go with his complexion. Which is the theatre-going public demands the general instance. Its response to plays in which the props are genuine will be far more enthusiastic by the average uptown company. Directors may ignore this demand for a moment, when the audiences begin to spend the movie house than in the house of the spain invaken. Why Nordic Drama By Negroid Actors? For a long long time now, the theatre goers of Harlem, as well as the various critics, have been damoring for high class dramas entertainment in the uptown theatres. Via a long long time now, at the Alhambra Theatre, such performers as Bowie Butler, Ted Blackmon, Edna Harris, George Wilkinson, Eddie Barr, Billy Andrews, Artie Cain, Andrew Bishop, Beverly Woods, Barrington Carter, Edna Young, George Wendy, Vig Wendy, and wherever else happens to be working in the theatre, have been seen in dramatic skits that were good, and was written. Once in a while, one finds good dramatic fare and uses it when it is bad and rotten, it is not the fault of the gregorian, themselves. The main reason, we think, is because the gregorian is so moderately miscast. Friend Kenneth, who is now guiding the destinies of the London Theatre, has heard the call of drama lovers and has arranged with its Andersen and her dramatic players. Miss Andersen and her company are good. There is no matter so to that, but they cast themselves in plays that are purposeful created for them. Last year in "They Knew What They Wanted," Miss Andersen, practiced, was a little white girl who married an Italian. Miss Andersen was taking the part of a little white girl, we are of the opinion that she should have made up to the part. She made an George Randol set the part of a state governor, and merely gray his hair. To our mind, it takes a great deal more than gracing him to make a Negro resemble a state execu- sive in those United States. The directors of the various companies either do not admit that there is any physical difference between a Negro and a white man, or they ignore it altogether. There is, nevertheless, somewhere in Ohio a colored mayor. There have been, we understand, colored governors. But such things are extremely uncommon and we cannot stretch our imagination to the extent of feeling that all is well, when we think the kind of theatre. Lonora Ulric darkened herself to resemble a mulatto in "Lola Bella". The leading man of "Going Home" darkened his features to resemble a Negro. But both were unreal. Its falseness was felt. Where genuineness is possible, let us have it rather than vanish. Barrington Carter makes a good Jew, but Artie Cain can never persuade me to believe that she is Irish, nor Susie Button, French. Ted Blackman is a good, versatile actor, but this writer can't get up enthusiasm enough to believe him to be a blue blood aristocrat of Mayflower extraction. Al Wattie is also a versatile man, but we refuse to believe him to be an English nobleman. He is too dark! A monocle just does not go with his complexion. Which all leads to this: The theatre-going public demands the genuine article in every instance. Its response to plays in which the players and their props are genuine will be far more enthusiastic than that received by the average uptown company. Directors may lynore this demand for a great while, but eventually, when the audiences begin to spend more time in the movie house than in the house of the spoken stage, they will awaken.

ETHEL WATERS is back on Broadway in Warner Brothers' all-talking all colored film, "On With the Show." Her crooning is one of the hit features of the picture. FRANK MONTGOMERY has opened his revue at Atlantic City with Julia Moody, Hannah Sylvester, Happy Holmes and Walker and Houser. They will remain at the Paradise for an indefinite run. --- CHARLES MATSON and his band remain at the Remey on 60th Street where Blase New Yorkers dance nightly. WILLIAM EDMONDSON is much in demand these days, playing daily at the Lincoln with Ida Anderson, and rehearsing at the same time with the Juzzobo Regiment and Vincent Youmans' new production now in rehearsal at the Cosmopolitan Theatre. --- THE MUCH HERALDED FOX Moyletone Follies of 1929 at Roxy's opened last week. It was a wow and no end of its success is due to the inimitable acting and voice of Stephen Fetchit, the bend porter. He works through the entire production, carrying the burden of the comedy, does his low down shuffle and puts over the fashion- able bit. "Who-do-you-think-the man behind me-with-the-shot-gun-is?" A large and picturesque group of hoofers of color, including Carolyn Snowden, make up a background for m'lord. Fetchit, since "Hearts in Dixie" has become a Brondway favorite and an honest-to-goodness box office attraction. Without question he has made stupidity and laziness an artistic triumph and your soul is soothed and rested by his popular drawl and slow motion. At The Douglas With the remarkable improvement made by the management in the sound reproducing apparatus at the New Douglas Theatre, large crowds have been turning out to enjoy the splendid programs offered at this always popular playhouse. George Jessel in "Lucky Boy" is the talking and singing attraction here this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is a touching story of a boy's love for his mother and of how the song she inspired carried him to fame. In it Jessel is at his best, his inimitable humor and wonderful singing voice being brought to the audience with extraordinary effectiveness. On the same program with "Lucky Boy," Itex Ingram's "The Three Passions," in which Alice Terry and Ivan Petrovitch appear, is being offered as well as the usual complement of short subjects both silent and with sound. Beginning Saturday for a fourday engagement, the New Douglas will present an all-talking mystery thriller of the first water, Owen Davin's famous stage success, "The Donovan Affair." Among the foa THE HUDSON 4TH STREET N COMING Gorgeous Tanskin Beauties! Tantal In CO tured players in this picture is Jack Holt, hero of many great films and lately seen in "Submarine." The same charming actress who appeared with Holt in that picture Dorothy Revier, is featured in the feminine lead in "The Donovan Affair," while Frank Capra, the talented director who piloted "Submarine" to a safe port, directed this film. A splendid cast of players, including William Collier, Jr., John Roche, Fred Kelsey, Ethel Wales and Agnes Ayres support the leading actors and actresses in this whirlwind drama of mystery, murders, thrills and suspense. At The Roosevelt Harlem's latest theatre to install talking motion pictures, the Roosevelt, located at Seventh Avenue and 145th Street, has attracted unusually large crowds to the northern section of our community. The Roosevelt opened its talking picture policy last Thursday. The comment from everyone who saw and heard its programs was unanimous, that the Roosevelt Theatre has one of the finest talking picture equipments in the city. For this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, June 5, 6 and 7, the management announces for its feature a 100 per cent all talking Vitaphone drama which has been sensationally successful wherever shown "On Trial." The cast of this remarkable picture includes such fine stage and screen players as Pauline Frederick, Bert Lyttell, Lois Wilson, Richard Tucker, Fred Kolsey and Franklin Panghorn. The story of "On Trial" is unusual, it tells of a man who is on trial for defending the honor of his home—and it holds the spectator in gripping suspense until the last minute of the dramatic climax. Starting this Saturday, June 8, for four days only, the feature attraction at the Roosevelt will be "Stolen Kisses," with May McAvoy as the star. Miss McAvoy will be remembered as the star of "The Terror." At The Odeon Harlem's only vaudeville and motion picture theatre, the Odeon, located at 145th Street near 8th Avenue, will have for its feature attraction this Thursday and Friday, June 6 and 7. Louis Joseph Vance's thrilling mystery drama, "The Lone Wolf's Daughter." The cast is headed by Bert Lytell and Gertrude Olmsted, and includes a number of other favorite screen players. The action of the story takes place in America--this is a sequel to the numerous and stirring adventures of the Lone Wolf on the continent. It is a gripping tale of Vance's hero in a new role--no longer the famous underworld character now adding his life-long enemies, the police. How his reformation is brought about by his adopted daughter, the child entrusted to his care by his dying pal, and how he outwits some clever crooks who try to blackmail him and his daughter, makes a gripping picture well worth seeing. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, June 8, 9 and 10, will find William Haines starring in "The Duke Steps Out," occupying the feature position on the Odeon screen. This is the latest and best of Bill Haines's pictures and has played to large crowds wherever shown. Five big acts of vaudeville will 1930 A vivid closeup of K I N G VIDOR, Director of "Hallelu-jah."

For Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Harry and Kittle, Pugh and Mack, and The High-tower Trio assisted by Jarahal, will be on the bill in addition to other Harlem favorites. NEWARK.

In Brooklyn she was joined by her friends and coworkers of Bethany, Mrs. Rosa Lambert, president of the 'Trustees' Aid Society, Mrs. Hicks, vice-president, and Mrs. E.

When they got down there Ed had no band ring; But that was soon settled, Though Mary Louise Refused to go in And try on the ring. "The clerk—he might laugh," She timidly said. And then the old clerk In the License hall Said, "How old are you?" "Twenty-one," came forth From Mary Louise. "I must have some proof," Said the license clerk. None was to be had At that very time; But August Zukor Of a higher office, Knew our home-town boy And fixed everything. So that all is well, And she writes "Missus" Before her new name.

Y. Evening Graphic" tournament last season, Decoration Day morning. The full personnel of the Lincolns were not in attendance, but judging by the snappy workout provided by Johnny Holt, "Crip" Romney, Frank Lawrence, "Buster" Dennis, and Stokes, it will take a mighty sweet team to keep the Harlemites from bringing the trophy to this neck o' the woods for keeps. Page Twelve ALVIN J. MOSES Punchball is a game that is patterned along the lines of our national pastime with the exception that the players use a rubber ball nearly the size of a tennis ball, and strike it with their fists. Like in Baseball a lot of inside stuff is pulled off that keeps the spectators in a high tension throughout, and the players on their toes. The members of this sterling outfit who played to capacity crowds wherever hooked last year, represent some of the outstanding young athletes in our group. Most of them are High School lads, some still in school, starring either on track, or with the Basketball squad. Johnny Holt, member of the sensational "Collegians"—State amateur basketball champions, plays the rightfield post for the Lincolnns,—and how! Possessor of the build of a fighter, and capable of giving any man a rough time of it with his fists, Johnny is one of the siege guns both on attack and defense. He can smash that ball with his doubled first like "Nobody's business," is a smart diagnoser of plays, and can field and run the bases. Romney, called "Crip" by his mates and admirers, also plays basketball with the Collegians during the winter season, and was an outstanding star at the indoor game during his high school career. "Crip," will guard the "Hot Station" commonly known as third base for the Lincoln this season. He is perhaps the fastest runner on the team. Frank Lawrence,—stormy petrel of Punchball tournaments, is well known to players around the circuit and devotees of the sport throughout Manhattan Borough and the Bronx. Frank is what your humble correspondent might term a "Mighty Atom." A player of the type that characterizes guardians of the keystone hassock in the Big Leagues, he is the sparkplug of the outfit, and a gamecock if ever there was one. Small of stature but compact in build, Lawrence does everything a manager could ask of a player. Off the field he is one of the finest chaps one would ever want to meet—but once that game gets under way, he is transformed into a Johnnie Evers, "Rabbit" Maranville type of player, fighting hard and fairly for every point—giving no quarter and asking none in return. Lee Stokes will fill the position of pitcher vacated by the change of venue from New York to Chicago of Waldorf Raynor. Stokes, a former schoolboy handball champion who still plays an outstanding game at the ancient Irish pastime, figures to fill Raynor's shoes capably. Lee, during business hours, may be found at Bill Garrett's Elite tonsorial parlor on Seventh Avenue. Here once again is a genuine case of real gameness. Last year Stokes suffered the misfortune to break his leg running into a rival punchball player. ```markdown ``` Nothing daunted, this season finds the former handball ace lined up with the locals ready for service against the crack white teams of the different Boroughs. One thing Stokes showed us Decoration Day was a powerful throwing arm, and holding ability on a par with the rest of the outfit—which is saying plenty. Jackson Manages Team "Mule" Jackson, will be the playing manager of the ensemble every red-blooded athletic enthusiast in Harlem sincerely trusts will cop the valuable "Graphic" trophy. Hard hitting and clever fielding Johnnie Brown who starred in nearly every game last season for the Lincolnns, will play left-field, while "Buster" Dennis will do a Lou Gehrig around the initial bag. Mack, catching; DeBerry, and Hank, round out the team comprising ten men, seven active and three spares in accordance with the rules committee. Jack Murray, well-known Basketball referee and sponsor of the Graphic Punchball tournament, will collaborate with the Editor of this publication in keeping the fans of Harlem well posted on all of the Lincoln's games in the Punchball tournament that will commence on or about July 15th, until then, more anon. Coliseum Bouts Jess McMahon, matchmaking-director of the New York Coliseum, took advantage of the holiday by motoring down to Lakewood, N. J., for a conference with Joe Jacobs, manager of Andre Routis, world's featherweight champion, and on his return to the city showed the elation of a Tex Rickard when the late promoter got a match he went after. Jacobs agreed to let Routis meet any of the quartet comprising Al Singer who meets Leo (Kid) Roy and Al Ridgway who tackles Pete Nebo at the Coliseum in the Bronx Thursday night. McMahon said the discussion consumed three hours, the major portion of which concerned the contract McMahon holds to have Max Schmeling box under his direction. Jacobs was ready to sign for Routiss to box Singer, but McMahon, fearful that Ridgeway and Nebo will steal the play away from the Singer-Roy bout in addition to the bout existing that Singer's knockout at the hands of Ignacio Fernandez may have been a flash in the pan, held up actual signing of articles. Whether Singer is through or not is the question of the moment among the fans. McMahon proved he is not condemning the Bronx featherweight on this score by using him against the Canadian champion next Thursday night. Dempsey, Leonard, Lynch, Herman. Gardner, Ketchel and numerous other ring stars suffered a similar dose before they reached the top of their respective divisions. "A Demon Globe Trotter" The traditional "Black Menace" that stalks every chainplon now looms in the person of William Theodore Davis. 24-year-old colored motorcyclist of 75 West 141st Street, who threatens to shatter some of the records now held by "Cannon Ball" Bacon, internationally known racer and endurance titleholder. The "Lone Wolf," as Davis is known in Harlem, proposes to take off on June 15 for a round-the-world tour, doing all his land travel on a Model 74 Indian motorcycle. The first leg of the trip will be from this city to San Francisco, a distance of approximately A man in a white shirt and black pants is walking away from the camera, carrying a large black bag. He appears to be in motion, possibly running or walking. The background is blurred, suggesting a busy street or parking area. By Alvin J. Moses 3,700 land miles. Davis expects to complete the trip within 144 hours, allowing an average of six out of each twenty-four hours for his rest and meals. Has Had Experience The "Lone Wolf" asserts that endurance riding is no new hobby with him. He is the present recognized title- THE BATTLE FOR THE BEST FENCING TEAM IN THE WORLD holder of a forty-eight hour record for a New York to Halifax trip made in 1927. In 1926 he raced across the country for the first time, arriving at Los Angeles eight days after his start here. In earlier years he made numerous trips to Montreal and other Canadian cities. There is also a romantic side to Davis, racing. All expenses of his previous tours, made during the summer months, were defrayed with funds he earned while portering and bellhopping for various Metropolitan hotels. And for the proposed trip, unless he can make connections with a backer, he plans to foot all the bills from his earnings last winter at Grand Central Station. He has already booked passage on July 3 from San Francisco to Manila, and expects to do exhibition riding on the Hawaiian Islands, at Honkong, Shanghai, Korea, and in Japan. Abyssinia Wins The track team from the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem won an easy victory over their rivals, St. Phillips, at the fifth annual outdoor track meet of the Protestant churches of New York, held at the Lewisohn Stadium Saturday under the auspices of the Interchurch Athletic Association. The Colored runners from Harlem amassed a total off 51 points to the 42 tallied by the St. Phillips team, last year's winner. St. George was third with 19 points, while the Spanish Evangelical, a newcomer, took fourth with 15 points, the other churches trailing far behind.

THE INTER-STATE TATTLER Lincoln Giants Win Series From Posey Lincoln Giants Win Series From Posey The first 1020 series between the Lincoln Glants and Homestead Grays ended at the Protectory Oval Sunday, June 2, when the two teams divided a double header. The standing of the teams at the end of the series was 5 victories and 2 defeats for the Lincolnns, thus giving the New Yorkers a wide margin of victory over the Pittsburghers. Two former Harlem pitchers were on the mound for the visitors Sunday. "Smoky Joe" Williams twirled the first game and lost by a score of 8-6, while Sam Streater pitched his team to an 8-6 victory in the second game. Recor was on the mound for the Lincoln during the winning game. High winds prevented many long drives during the first contest but in the other there were five home runs. Charlie Smith of the Giants led the pack with 2, the others being made by Rojo, Cannady and Beckwith, who hit one over the flag pole. Streeter also led the visitors at bat, getting four hits in four times up. Baltimore will come to New York Sunday, June 9, for a double-header, their first visit in over two years. Phil Edwards Incomparable Edwards ran a record-smashing half-mile race that will live long in the memory of the 15,000 spectators that saw his speed around Franklin Field's cinder path last Saturday afternoon. There were four records broken altogether. There were two champions shorn of their distinctions. There were four others who clung fast to titles. There was an amazing point total of 453-8 by Stanford—the biggest score since the World War. Yet there was nothing which could stand up under comparison with Edward's phenomenal performance. Time was when people thought the memory of incomparable Ted Meredith might never be effaced, but Ted himself was there at the finish line as Edwards raced through the tape and wiped out a little meorandum that Meredith had set an inter-collegiate record of 1:53 fourteen years ago. Edwards' Achievement Alone all the way in his half-mile sprint, the Negro captain of New York University's track team not only eclipsed the college paragon, but went on to equal Meredith's American record of 1:52 1-5, which stood as an unapproachable world standard until Otto Pelzer reduced it to 1:51 3-5 in 1926. Having announced through Coach Emil Von Elling that he would strive for a record, Edwards gracefully whisked away from the pack of finalists almost at the start of the gun. Before a quarter mile had been completed he was fifty yards ahead of his nearest pursuer, giving an unbelievable solo exhibition. His thin, well-thewned legs wilted toward the end but nevertheless he won.

DR. FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Preparations "keeps your complexion youthful" Cricket Boundaries By DAROLD LEWIS Cricket is a gentleman's pastime; easily holding its own with any outdoor sport. When the match is played between two teams of an aggregate strength, thrills, heart throbs, and wild excitement is prevalent. The cricket fan takes his cricket seriously. On occasions they are as rabid as the most ardent base ball rooter. The average American, as yet, has failed to understand the intracies of this English game. Desiring their cooperation, their patronage, interpreters are stationed at all matches contested, to inform the uninitiated. Such sterling players as Brannie Dash, Reggie Allder, Edghill "Snow" and Co. placing the full strength of their powerful shoulders behind drives screaming boundaries—that go booming over the fence, or hang in the ceiling so long, it seems as if they were suspended by some invisible thread—is without presumption—comparable to the mighty efforts of Babe Ruth and Gehrig. In the tense moments of a close game, the spectators sit entranced; eyes contracted; hearts palpitating; fingers constricted; staring with as much concentration, as if the very foundation of the world hinged on the outcome. Of a surety, there must be some magnetic power attached to a cricket exhibition, when it drags a tired man from a well earned rest—as often is the case—to don flannels, and be on the grounds at an appointed time; two days, Saturdays and Sundays; also holidays; during the all too short summer months.

His voice boomed out to the remotest corner of the ampitheatre. “Ladies—(there were quite a few present)—and Gentlemen. The fight of the Century”—he got no further. The frenzied crowd cheered them- selves hoarse. Raising his hand for silence he continued: “In this corner—point- ing a dramatic finger — Jack Rooney.. As game a lad as ever stopped a right cross with his nose, and came on for more.” Rooney hardly acknowledged the generous hand he received.

The few seconds in- terval before the referee pulled them apart was a blessed relief to Harry. On the break Jack Rooney dashed in again—He was unusually fast for a big man.

The woollv head bowed just a little—the blows hurt. but maybe it wasn’t only hecause of the blows. At this point. a commotion occurred at the hack of the arena. A woman screamed. The crv pierced the confused bellows of the crazed throng. like the twanz- ing note struck on a taut banjo sharply asserting itself. above the roar of a jazz orchestra.

Half way to the ring, she fell pros- trate. Alice had fainted. Through the fog enveloping Ins brain, Harry had heard that scream. It sounded uncommonly like a voice with which he was familiar. He became inanimate. That pause proved almost fatal. Seeing his opportunity, Rooney shot a terrific right to Harry’s chin. The bronze giant fell on his back, quivered then rolled over on his side and clambered drunkenly to his feet as the bel) clanged. This ended one of the greatest upsets in the annals of boxing. The raising of Rooney’s hand in tken of victory was an unneeded gesture. Harry Roberts presented a pitifu: spectacle. With the staunch Johnny Bascomb leading him. he descendea the ladder from the ring into oblivion.

FUNERAL DIRECTOR 88 WEST 134th ST., NEW YORK 16 More Girls Enter Tattler's Big Contest "Queen of Convention" Late Starters Laugh At The Handicaps And Are Willing To Succeed Liberal Handicaps.—Two More Clubs Have Entered Contestants.—Fifty More Girls Wanted. SIXTEEN new contestants have sent in their entries for the Inter-State Tattler's $1,000.00 subscription contest, "The Queen Of The Convention" which started last Monday, two weeks behind our schedule. But there are still nine weeks left, a period of 63 days for the girls to win free vacations and big cash prizes. Two additional clubs have entered candidates and seven other organizations have promised to have representatives ready for next week. BLUES Have you got the vacation blues? Smile—be happy—forget your problems, for you can have that well-earned vacation this year if you START a SAVINGS account NOW. The DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK of New York The King Bee Social Club has entered and will support Miss Lucy Reese of St. Albans, Long Island. This organization is one of the most progressive of the many social clubs of New York and Miss Reese is indeed fortunate. Police Officer Allen Benton is president of this organization and a very popular figure in the social world. Mr. Benton has contributed in a very large measure to the success and popularity of the club and his brother members will do their best to put Miss Reese across the winner and "Queen." Little Marion Watson is sporting the colors of the popular Renown Social Club and she to is lucky to have such an aggressive organization back of her in the big race from New York To Atlantic City. Mr. S. E. Cochrane is the secretary of the Renown Club and he promised the whole hearted support of his members. That you can gamble on. The clubs will profit greatly by the success of the girls they support aside from their being awarded one of the special club cash prizes. Despite the fact that we now have about fifty candidates in the big New York To Atlantic City Derby to be known as the Tattler's "Convention Queen," we still want at least fifty more girls. We want to take a hundred or more to the Elk's Atlantic City Convention and to that end must have a hundred contestants. Then, of course, every girl can win. It is not too late to enter the contest. There are nine weeks, sixty-three days before the contest ends. Take advantage of time young lady and send in your name. Get busy and obtain the support of some club. The contest has just started and you have as good a chance as any one. The Tattler office will be open every night until 10:30 P. M. to accommodate every girl who wishes to enter the contest. So far very few clubs have entered candidates for the contest and we would like very much to hear from them. Almost every organization knows of some popular young lady; perhaps she is a member of the club or maybe she is related to some member of the club. Well, why not have her carry your colors? The club loses nothing by this. But on the other hand, if she wins one of the first three prizes, the club will also win a prize. We are giving away $100 in cash in three prizes. The first club prize is Fifty Dollars; the second is Thirty-Five Dollars, and the third is Fifteen Dollars. In addition to that, we are giving away a silver loving cup to every club turning in 100 or more one-year subscriptions or the equivalent. Get busy Mr. President, if you have the interest of your club at heart. Here is a splendid opportunity to enrich your club's treasury.

Having forgotten our spring coat with Hart-Schaffner and Marks, we were a bit chilled when we entered the hot house, hoping our drooping spirits would be revived. But it was not to be, for the "Hot Chocolates" were rather cold, like the weather without. This newest of all colored musical comedy revues proved disappointing to us. Perhaps, unduly impressed with the advance reports, the glowing accounts, we expected too much. But just the same Connie's "Hot Chocolates" failed us in a pinch. True, the production is beautifully costumed; but the singing and comedy was nothing to brag of as we heard and saw it. Billy Higgins failed to register and nary one of the song features clicked. Can you imagine Billy Higgins not registering with an audience? Minta Cato, wonderful song bird that she is, failed to arouse any real enthusiasm. She was handicapped with numbers that did not give her the opportunity to be at her best. There's a world of difference in staging a floor show an odne for the theatre. The presentation which opened at the Windsor last Monday is an excellent floor show. But a lot of heroic work will have to be done for its Broadway showing billed for next week. One thing, there's too much shifting of furniture for the olio. Almost every curtain holding bit had props of some nature or other. That may be alright for a floor show, but never for the theatre. Baby Cox, Madeline Belt, "Jazzlips" Richardson, the Midnite Steppers, Jimmy Baskette, Margaret Simms and Billy Maxey, were the outstanding entertainers. The Palmer Brothers, the sixteen prancing pinks and the eight bon bon buddies and Paul and Thelma Meers were seen to advantage. Little Miss Cox, dressed in masculine evening attire, presented a pleasing picture as she sang and danced with petite Madeline Belt. But Madeline would have appeared to better advantage if she too had been properly attired, a young lady in an evening dress insead of the ballet costume she appeared in. Billy Maxey and Amanda Randolph in "Pool Room Papa" an olio bit did well. It was one of the high spots of the production and registered well. This situation could be made into one complete scene and would be worth the effort. The "Telegraph" bit featuring Eddie Green under cork, assisted by Jimmy Baskette, offered the first real laugh of the production. This was real humorous comedy devoid of hokum. Strange as it may seem, the majority of the smutty attempts at comedy failed to click with this Monday night Bronx audience. They can well be deleted.

HAVEN by Iola Violet Willis 141 Bristol Street New Haven, The Southern Melody Show featuring Jazzbo, presented at the Odd Fellows on Tuesday, May 28th, was a huge success. Those who attended were thoroughly pleased with the excellent entertainment furnished by the show which included twenty-five people. The Spring Play and Dansante sponsored by the Jolly Four last Friday evening at the St. Luke Parish House was all your little heart would desire. For weeks we picked up rumors here and there about that affair, from different sources. We gathered that it would be just like that, and it was, and then some more. The Tea Dansante given by the May Group of the 20th Century Club at the Dixwell Avenue Community House on last Friday from 8 to 4 P. M. was a great success socially as well as financially. The St. Agnes Guild Club members of the St. Luke Church held their Annual Hike to Savin Rock on Decoration Day. Miss Mamie Hope, New Haven's popular Musician entertained a number of her pupils at Savin Rock last Saturday. Games and swimming were the prominent features of the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harrod and family motored to New Bedford, Mass., on Decoration Day. A record crowd turned out to the delight of Cheshire Country Club members on Decoration Day. to dine and dance at the exclusive club house. New York and Connecticut were well represented. The weather man furnished pleasant weather for the journey, and the holiday spirit reigned supreme. A delicious collation was served from 2 to 8 P. M. in really Ritzy style.
