Tippy, square headed, flasnily dressed, was awaiting patiently for one of his number of scouts to arrive with the day's receipts. A large showy diamond flashed from the little finger of his left hand each time he lifted the cigar from his mouth. Tippy's companion, who answered to the name of Jimmy, was just one of the hundreds of ordinary brown skinned youths who parade the streets of Harlem night after night. During the day, Jimmy toted bags down at the Grand Central and beguiled many an extra quarter from tight customers by his white toothed smile. There was something attractive about Jimmy. He sat gazing admiringly at the diamond on Tippy's finger. "Some stone," he remarked. "Yeah," grunted Tippy. "It's a good one too. I don't like nothing but the best." "He jumped in Silence descended abruptly. Then Jimmy spoke again slowly. "Say. Tip, who's the high brown I saw you with last night?" Tippy tilted his derby farther back on his head and tucked his stubby fingers in his vest. His broad flat face wrinkled in a huge smile, showing a glittering row of gold teeth. "Huh, that's my new baby. Brand new from the sticks." He winked deliberately at Jimmy. "Oh," said the boy softly, a speculative look in his dark eyes. "Yes, Sir," continued Tippy gloatingly, "screws a little green peach from the country and I aim to stick around till she gets all citified. In fact," he leaned nearer Jimmy and grinned meaningly, "I aim to aid that child to be a just too bad, hot mama!" He laughed coarsely and poked Jimmy in the ribs. The boy crowned involuntarily and drew away. "Gay, Tip," he hesitated, then went on quickly. "Why don't you stick to Marie? She's a good kid and she loves you." "Aw, hell!" Tippy cursed and shunn himself out of my chair. "I'm through with that girl for good, got puss? I don't not nothing to put her to doing!" And Jimmy argued. "But, Jimmy, really thinks a lot of you, Tip. Maybe you make you more than this new one will!" "But my" grinned Tippy Lennox, it don't want to hear moving about the market. And it's nobody's business whether this new like me or not." But without further word, Tippy smiles out at her son. The boy is there in the gathering darkness and thought Tippy.

Wood, Mrs. J. W. Walker, Mrs. Geraldyn Dlamond. At twelve, the party made Bamboo Inn, the mecca of the evening—where Anne Douglas was having the younger crowd in honor of Mrs. Saunders, and Mrs. Wood and Walker had their friends, too. There were eighteen in all, and it took four waiters to serve us. We danced and danced, and dined and dined. We had everything to eat that our little hearts would desire, and refreshing drinks no end. There was Mrs. Cachemaille, who is a very lovely lady, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wood, and my, but he is handsome, Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Brown—he is one of those six footers, and she is just sweet, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Huggins, as enjoyable a couple I have ever met, Mr. and Mrs. J.

I found out that Mr. Walker is the best dancer, that Mrs. Walker is witty, that Odaris knows how to wear the best dresses, that the music was wonderful, that the guests were more wonderful and that we had the most wonderful time. Mrs. Sanders has been visiting her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Wood of 192 Bradhurst Avenue. Others who entertained in her honor were: Mrs. Walker J. Bacon, Odaris Palmer's sister.

If you weren't there, you don't know what you missed. Did we make whoopee? Who was there? Talking about artistry—it would have made every part of your better selves fill up with joy to have seen that galaxy of stars so dear to us and such brilliant lights in the world of music and art as they entered into the spirit of the evening. Bob Douglass became so happy that he forgot what he was called upon to recite and began to pay tribute to the many luminaries in the audience. It was who was who—without artificial coloring, but just the real Carl Diton, Florence Tolbert, Langston Hughes, Minnie Brown, Pearl Wimberly Wright, Marion Cumbo, Alaine Locke, the Hall Johnson ensemble with Hall Johnson, one of the foremost musicians in America today, leading this splendid group of trained musicians. William C. Gassener, manager of the Hall Johnson Choir, brought the entire Village to the party and everybody became so happy that they cut up and capered in the most artistic way until the gray dawn descended into the court yards below, thus giving themselves up to the Nappers. Among the distinguished visitors of last week was the Hon. Anthony Overton, financier of Chicago. As usual, his visit was short and a busy one. Eva Jessye, musical director of Hallelujah, was a caller at the Tattler office Saturday. She had with her Evelyn Burwell, the comedienne of the films. ```markdown ``` --- Thelma and Anna Marie Battle, daughters of Wallace A.

From this husky handsome chap exudes an air of gentle dignity, a firmness and purpose, breeding and intelligence, all there, in the clarity of eye, breadth and brow, set of jaw and the Arthur of the Round Table, was no better warrior, "the Kings" chroniclers were many, his adversaries few! I first saw "our" Art at a dance early in his high school career at Newton, the career that already had given the "dailies" food for ranting. To say he caught my eye, states the matter coldly; he is strikingly noticeable in any gathering. The more I heard of him the more I desired to actually know the chap (being but another "fetish" of mine, for after all one dares not present his true self to all the world). Now I count him friend in every sense of the muchly abused word. That year he rode to the Presidency of his great high school upon a perfect deluge of votes from the Nordic school-mates In some measure of gratification he led the school cross-country team to their first title in the "champs" the following Saturday, finishing close behind "our" invincible Gus Moore in a driving finish, both under the existing record.

Upon the "clinders" he ran o'er, round and through his fields, annexing the college "880" in clinking time, and endlessly showing his heels to the despairing "hills and dales." Meanwhile his class average soared in so startling a manner the "profs" looked askance, for Negroes are inferior, aren't they! His "soph" year found him too busy ter College Graduates, reading am, Sadie Clark, Mrs. Leonard Velma Henderson. That Spring found him pounding out acquiring honors to heed the call of coaches, save his beloved cross-country and that year found him close to being the peer of all New England, his popularity exceeding e'en his honors, when lo! The College, for "exceptional scholarship, unusual athletic ability and extraordinary character" awarded "the Art," the muchly coveted scholarship to the University of Geneva, high in the mountains of Switzerland, beside the crystal lake, shrine of beauty lovers throughout the world! As the great liner bearing him thence moved down the bay it seemed but a matter of course to him. There, too, his kindly Fate drove him on to honor upon honor. The track he "burned-up" from the "880" to the cross-country. He was enthroned as King Arthur at the head of his "knightly board." His American type of basket-ball with its streaking speed and lightning dribble brought the town people forth in droves to view this bronze "phenom." All fell before Geneva and Art until the University of Torins brought their "six time" champions of Italy. After a furious battle wherein the spectators were as frenziedly spent as the players, and Art had borne the entire brunt of the Geneva attack, the Latins could not be restrained, hoisted the embarassed Art to their shoulders as the packed arena roared its acclaim to the "bronze American." Meanwhile Art was conducting the "gym" classes for the "sons" of the legations in the morning and the "daughters" in the afternoon, and standing exceptionally high in his classes that were, of course, conducted solely in French (Imagine betwixt his athletics, coaching and "cramming" he found time for tutoring in the language so necessary.)

As he "cut" and "looped" his first shot through the net, he became conscious of a perfect bedlam of applause as only Italians can, coming from the great balcony "jammed to the guards." "It there to be a game today?" Art asked. "No," smilingly from the nearest Italian, "they've come to watch YOU practise!" In the gruelling tournament that followed in the "Eternal City" the Romans paid fit tribute again and again to as doughty a gladiator its arenas e'er glimpsed as Art played with his furious, deadly calm, to return to Geneva a champion of champions!

Meanwhile the Dean of Geneva wrote the Dean of Sprinfield, extending Art's "scholarship" for another year, extolling his virtues and achievements in no uncertain terms, deemed it the express desire of the University to confer a degree upon this so deserving student at the year's close! To which the Dean of Springfield replied in some heat, in substance: "Nothing doing. I want OUR honor man to graduate from Springfield!" Hence at the summer's close Art bid his many close friends that spanned the breadth of Europe fond farewell as he journeyed coastwise from Poland, to spend a week on England's isle with his "European Sheba" c'er he set sail for his homeland. His senior year at Springfield found him with little time for e'en his beloved track, student instructorship in French and "gym" occupying what little of his spare time he had, to graduate with high honors and great acclaim. Europe and the schools that know him have written bidding for his services. Springfield hast recommended three for his choosing, and he considers one or two "on his own".

The Graduation Concert took place last Wednesday evening at the Little Theatre in Brooklyn. "Nita" is a graduate of Girls High, Maxwell Training School, class of 1920, and now B. C. of Music.

SYPHILIS in its third stage may cause the formation of gumma (a soft gummy tissue of tertiary syphilis) in the skin. Gummas of the skin and underlying tissues is the cause of deep ulcerations commonly met with in tertiary syphilis. The skin above the gumma becomes attached to it by the inflammation, softens, and sloughs away, exposing to the air the cavity which was formed in the central part ```markdown ``` of the gumma by death of the cells As the ulcers heal a scar is formed which dips down into the cavity of the gumma, and a depressed scar, attached firmly to the underlying tissues, remains at this point. A syphilitic tubercule (distinct from tuberculosis) in its dry form does not break down and undergo destruction, but tends to dry up and disappear by absorption. The syphilitic tubercle often affects the palms of both hands in the secondary stage, or one hand in the tertiary, and may be mistaken for eczema of the palms. When occurring about the face or on the body the eruptions may be mistaken for various skin diseases. The ulcerative form of syphilis tubercle is not absorbed, but breaks down and ulcerates, continually spreading farther at the edge and healing in the center. From this tendency to extend at the border and affect fresh tissues it is sometimes called creeping syphilide. The ruptal syphilide derives its name from the concentric rings of crusts which form the scab, resembling the rings of an oyster shell. As the ulceration extends, crusts are formed over the new ulceration and each additional crust forms one larger in diameter than the preceding one. The lesions above described are all deeply seated, involve the underlying tissues, and result in more or less destruction of tissue, which is healed by the formation of contracting scars. Regard skin eruptions with suspicion—consult your physician. Professional Announcement Tel.

An added and much appreciated number on the program was the singing of the love song from ‘Aida’ by Martinelli—the world’s greatest singer. This, of course, is accomp- lished on the Vitaphone, For an evening or an afternoon of pleasing entertainment this week, we recommend the program at the Lafayette.

As for the feature picture “Show Folks”, a love story of the theatric- al world, that too was very good. All in all, the Lincoln has a niccly balanced program and one that we foel safe in recommending to our readers as about the best to be gotten at the low price of admis- sion.

At The Roosevelt For this Thursday and Friday, June 20th and 21st, Harlem's “Home of Perfect Talking Pictures” will show as {ts feature attraction, “Tenderloin,” the screen's thrilling crook story. Patrons of the Roose- velt Theatre, located in the north- ern part of our community at 7th Avenue’ and 145th Street, are sure to enjoy “Tenderloin” as it brings to the screen the lovely Dolores Costelle in her first speaking part. Talking scenes occur throuhgout the picture, while the incidental action is accompanied by a beau- tiful symphonic Vitaphone score. “Tenderloin” {s a melodramatic crook story affording the gorgeous Dolores one of the hest emotional roles she has ever had. In it Miss Costello plays the part of an in- nocent girl who is inveigled into a gang of master crooks through her infatuation for a seemingly honest youth, a member of the gang. She is dragged down and there is no- thing to save her from utter degra- dation except that soundness of character that came to her at birth. It is aw thrilling fight against what looks like fate, the odds all seem- ingly against her and hope as far removed as a miser’s pity. The cast supporting Miss Costello includes Conrad Nagel, Mitchell Lewis, Dan Wolheim, John Miljan, Georgie Stone and Pat Hartigan. : Starting Saturday, June 22nd for four days only, the Roosevelt’s fea- ture presentation will be “Scandal”, Laura LaPlante’s newest starring vehicle, “Scandal” is a talking pic- ture with well-delivered, logical dia- logue, good acting, a dramatic story and excellent settings and photo- oe F oF s\ ‘ a, om ee . 7 | a, ~ 7 oy wey Wee a | \. , 1 id a i ae psa | ‘i HAZEL SHEPPARD, who graces America (and how!) when here, but alas!

PROGRAM We Venture To Say By @. WILLIAM DUNN, 8rd N*s comes from Galveston, Texas, that Lisle Goldarbeiter of Austria, has won the beauty crown of Miss Universe. By that she is considered the most beautiful woman in all the uni- verse—by the judges. As there were thirty-four American and nine foreign competitors—all of them of pale, fait complexions, she should be called Miss Nordic, or at the most, Miss World: There was no Invitation extended to Mars, Jupiter, Venus and other planets; nor were any of Ham's daughters conspicuously present. “And these planets and the continent of Africa, have every right to rotest, P The American colonies used “taxation without representation” as the basis for the argument for starting a rumpus with old, merry England. And as the aforementioned places were not represented | In Galveston, each has the same right to claim that the judges know not of what they were naming. ia: . Although we have not seen the lady from Vienna, her pictures show her to have long, Black hair, and here are two conflicts. That she would have black hair is essential; but there are by far more short haired women in the world than long haired, Some of these women have bobbed hair and others have naturally short hair. But the favour of the numbers goes to those of ‘short hair. And thus, Miss Goldarbeiter Is not typically representative of even the women of the world. : Although an ancient tradition holds that the golden apple is to go only to blondes, brunettes have always held thelr own. Anita Loos came along and cried “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” but there are precious few gentlemen in the world, so the brunettes are ‘by far the most popular. Helen of Troy launched a thousand ‘ships with her beauty, it is true, and while the face of Frances Hubbard has not launched one little row boat, that we have heard, we be- lieve that she Is just as beautiful as Helen ever dared to be. “And Cleopatra, a raven black brunette, caused a nation to sit up and take notice, herself. The Texas news.accounts are a bit more veiled in their attempts to say that “the girl has hips” than a New York reporter, or a Harlem writer would be, but hips are not In vogue today at alt. Present aestheticism demands the long and almost curveless spine. Of course, those who, like ourselves, prefer the Venus type, will find that there is plenty of history to back up the demand for curved beauty, And as we watch Cora Greene and Isabelle Wash- ington, we hold on to our orthodox standards. But then, occasionally Maud Russell and Billy Cain give us a glimpse of their slim, pretty selves and we promptly become dis- ciples of that slim, straight, boyish theory of beauty. Those who want Pearl McCormack can have her, but we can find a strong Ethel Waters party and Ida Brown can stop a few automobiles, herself. But from the appearances of the present | day beauty chorus on the New York stage, slimness is: the vogue. There is not a curve in a stage load. And it has always been sald that the stage managers give the public what it wants. Of course, in Harlem where sensuousness is the highest standard of excellence aspired to by producers, there for a long time will be a fight under the banner, as Heywood Broun says, ‘don't give up the hip.” And too, to support my contention that Miss Goldarbeiter is not representative typically of world-wide womanhood, the only beau- ties to live in literature and enjoy any great distinction or promi- nence were those who lived on one side or the other of the shores. of the Mediterranean Sea, which is a blending place of things black and white, and where blondes are quite scarce. And too, Miss Orient from either Korea, China or Japan, was absent, thus leaving space for more protest from a few more brunettes. s s s K'°s are brutally frank at times, as is evidenced by the follow- ing writing on the sidewalk at St. Nicholas Terrace and. 127th Street: "These are the cats: Eliza Greene, Marie Randol, (etc.). Here are the healthy broads: Cora Weaver, Ethel Chiles, (etc.).” ly enjoyable picture that has at- tracted sensational audiences wher- ever shown.

Modesty of All-England's Cricket Captain (A Short, Short Story) By DAROLD LEWIS A. P. F. Chapman, the captain of All-England's cricket eleven, is exceptionally modest. At the ripe age of ten years, this luminary playing for Oakham School against the lower school team of Uppingham became a terror to those who bowled to him at the nets. His scores were generally in the neighborhood of fifty to eighty an inning. A youth who was bowling against young A. P. F. during the innings with the above school, had this to say: "I loathe having my best bowling carted out of the ground. But what can you say when Chapman grins at you at the end of your over and says: "Sorry to hit you, old chap, because you are bowling well, while I am getting all the luck." Chapman turns good length balls into half volleys. At the age of thirteen he scored two hundred runs and retired, batting against Stoneyhurst at Leicester. When complimented on his commendable play, his usual remark would be: "I'm just frightfully lucky." In 1915, at the age of fourteen, A. P. F. soundly thrashed a school bully, before a match; several years his elder. The chastisement was followed by a lecture: "Why don't you play the game? Play up for the sake of your side." said young Chapman. "What side,?" growled the bully. "I haven't got a side." "Oh yes you have. It's the Gentlemen of England," replied A. P. F. Chapman's average in "house" matches a. Uppinham was 260 runs per innings. Chapman plays for Kent as a residential qualification when he became identified with a brewery business at Hythe. The brewery runs a cricket team whom A. P. F. sometimes assisted. One summer, not so long ago, Kent played Lancashire at Maidstone. As Chapman went in he was bidden "good luck" by an admirer: "Thanks, old man," said he, "but I'm expecting a telephone call. If it comes through, tell them to hold on, as I shan't be long." The call came, but Chapman did not return to the pavilion until he had scored a brilliant 260 at the rate of nearly 90 runs per hour. As he came from the wicket, his face wreathed in smiles, he asked: "Is that chap still hanging on?" He hadn't forgotten the telephone call. These are but a few samples of the modesty, sportsmanship, and gentlemanly qualities that are possessed, in the fullest measure by the majority of the men who play cricket; for the game's sake. A gentleman's pastime. The Local West Indian C. C. was routed last Sunday at Commercial Field by the Pick of the Cosmopolitan League—New York's oldest cricket league—despite the able assistance of the Lewis Brothers. Brannie Dash, the "Two Edged Sword," swung his flaming bludgeon with a vengeance, being responsible for W. I.'s defeat. The "Keed" was the only one who could subdue him. The "Keed" sent a fast one down the groove; it recoched off Brannie's pads and staggered the sticks. Kid turned the rest of the batsmen back as soon as they confronted him. They came; saw; then returned to the pavilion;! sadder; wiser. Oscar Charleston, the Bronze "Ty Cobb" THE standard of ballplayers is generally measured by the erratic yet brilliant Tyrus Raymond Cobb, for years the idol of Detroit fans and devotees of the national pastime throughout the world. Since the passing of Sol White from the diamond, many sterling race ball tossers have forged to the front, making this task of nominating a single athlete all the more arduous. During the past month, no less than one hundred and fifty requests have reached this desk asking our opinion on the subject. In some of the letters names of diamond immortals like Joe Williams, An- 4-3. The other three players who drew (Rube) Foster, Frank Grant, disturbed my thoughts, were Joe Sol White, "Bingo" DeMoss, Lind- Williams, Johnny Lloyd, and Bruce sey, Pete Hill, Wickware, Poles, Petway. Charleston was as near the CLEVELAND JOHN HENRY LLOYD, Leader of the crack Lincoln Giants, who thinks highly of the celebrated outergardener. Gans, Lloyd, Bustamenta, Mendez, Chacon, Whitworth, Pedrosa, Leroy Grant, Pettus, Petway, Roger Williams, Santop, Mackay, Rojo, Wilson, Dixon, Rogan, Donaldson, Dismukes, Torrienti, Cockrell, Downs, Francis, George Wright et al; were submitted—and what a list of baseball titans, one could shut their eyes and place a finger on most any name of the above listing and called the case settled as one attorney would say to another. Charleston My Choice LONG did we debate in our mind as between four men of national reputation on a par with that of Mathewson, Cobb, Wagner, and Ruth. The feat of Jose Mendez (peace to his ashes), defeating Nap Rucker and Christy Mathewson in his beloved Cuba constituted a diamond epic. It was back in 1912 when John McGraw of the famous N. Y. Giants assembled together a crack outfit composed of Brooklyn and New York Big Leaguers with the purpose in mind to show the beady eyed Islanders just how the national pastime was played in polite circles. Our operatives inform us that instead of showing,—"Mac" was shown, and how. Mendez pitching for the Almendares Club that later became known as the Cuban Stars, licked Rucker in a regulation nine inning game 2-2 and then game back forty eight hours later to beat the incomparable "Matty" in a game that went ten innings ALVIN J. MOSES this desk asking our opinion he letters names of diamond 4-3. The other three players who disturbed my thoughts, were Joe Williams, Johnny Lloyd, and Bruce Petway. Charleston was as near the perfect ballplayer as one might find in a flock o' moons. Standing close to six feet and tipping the scales a mere 208 pounds, the Indianapolis giant was a tireless ball hawk who covered the outergarden like a Tris Speaker or a Tyrus Cobb. Perhaps after sagas without number have been sung of his greatness by writers of our group and other groups,—he will best be remembered because of his great hitting ability, on a par with the best the game has produced anywhere—and that goes for sandlot semi-professional variety, or the charmed circles of the Big Leagues from which he was barred because of that damnable "UNWRITTEN LAW" prohibiting members of his race. Yes "Chinks", Japs, Slavs, Poles,—oh, any other nationality on the face of this tempetuous ball are to be found around the circuits ruled over with an iron hand by former Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis,—but not a black face "In a Carload",—and this in America, the fabled land of freedom and free speech—it is to laugh. Oscar might lunge at a floater for a called third strike,—with the sacks unoccupied; you'll serve him the same slow ball with runners on the sacks, and he'll smack it as far as Lou Gehrig or Babe Ruth ever telescoped in their hectic young lives. A smart moundsman may cause him to fan weakly on a ball that cut the inside of the platter like a thin dime. only to have him all but annihilate the infielder's under pinnings with a torrid smash that goes for a screaming double on the very same kind of ball. In a pinch, he is no more reliable than Cobb was in his pristine greatness with the "Tigers" of 1908 who faced young Babe Adams and the rest of that pesky Pittsburg Pirate crew. * * * An All Around Athlete EARLY in his teens, Oscar ran away from home in order to join the famous 25th Infantry, and with that crack fighting outfit, went to the Phillipines. While in the service, he distinguished himself as an all around athlete, winning medals in the 220 yard dash, and the high hurdles-perhaps this accounts for that flare of speed he possesses in running the bases and shagging flies like nobody else can-black or white. He was a member of his company's baseball team and played his first professional game with Manilla in the P. I. League in 1914 when but a rawboned youngster even younger than Melvin Ott, sensational outfielder of this season's New York Giants of the National League. Returning home in 1915, Charleston was given a chance to display his ability by one of the smartest baseball men our race has ever produced—C. I. Taylor of the illustrious Indianapolis A. B. C.'s. For a season he fared "fair to middlin" with the pepper-box ensemble that in 1911 licked Howard Camnitz twirling for the Pittsburg National Leaguers,—then the old wanderlust grabbed him again. The following season found this By Alvin J. Moses mighty son of swat with the Lincoln Stars managed by Zack Pettus (now under the green),—but even Pettus with his fatherly advice and patience couldn't keep the rolling stones of Negro Baseball anchored for long. Back to that genius of the diamond, C. I. Taylor, who in our opinion ranks with Connie Mack and Johnny McGraw as a baseball tactician—and we are not kidding ourselves when we make this statement, went Charleston to learn the finer points of baseball that was to give him ranking with the titans of the greensward. ** Under "Rube" Foster ASOJOURN of two years with the A. B. C.'s, and Oscar cast his lot with Foster's celebrated American Giants of Chicago a team that should have pastimed under the big tent. Next to Taylor, Lancaster CONNIE RECTOR, who has faced Charleston as a pithcer of note for many seasons and calls him the best hitter extant. Andrew (Rube) Foster was the greatest teacher and handler of young stars this race has produced in America. Next season he changed back to Indianapolis, and the following year trekked South with the St. Louis Giants, 1922-23 found him home again playing a brand of ball that evoked white sport scribes throughout the country to dubb him the "Black Ty Cobb", and in sooth he was all of that and then some. Up to that time Charleston had been an underpaid hireling despite the brilliancy of his work. Colonel Strothers of the Harrisburg Giants made the great outfielder a flattering offer in 1924 to join his outfit, and Charleston snapped at the opportunity. For four years he stayed with the Pennsylvania team acting as playing manager for three of the seasons. With Charleston in the lineup, the Harrisburg team soon became the talk of the circuit. A hustling, confident, fighting crew who never won a pennant, but never ceased harrassing the leaders. Makes Record Drive Fans along the Seabord recall one powerful Ruthian smash of Charleston's that travelled on a line more than 464 feet before it touched the soil. So prodigious was the clout, that Wellington Jones of the Harrisburg Telegraph measured the distance officially and placed the hit at 465 feet. Wotta man, mates! Came a rift in the management of Harrisburg affairs, and old Colonel Strothers decided to turn his attention to his other interests and leave baseball high and dry. A battle Royal ensued between the owners of the other clubs of the circuit for Charleston's services, he finally capitulating to the Hillsdale Club of Darby Penna. Every season finds the "Big Boy" playing winter ball in Cuba where he proceeds to show up the barnsorming Big Leaguers that at different times have included Babe Ruth, Luque, Marsans, Dugan, Witt, Meusel, et al. Being a youngster, quite naturally I haven't seen all of the stellar ball players of the past fifty years, but for all around greatness, Oscar Charleston of the Hillsdale Club of the Eastern Colored Baseball League, is the greatest ballplayer of Color produced in this country. Not only is he the finest player of African extraction.—but in our judgment, he ranks on equality with Cobb, Mathewson, Wagner, and any other American or National League maestro the National pastime has known. Summing up his work, we might say that Charleston hits with the cunning of a Ty Cobb and the power of a Babe Ruth; runs the bases like a Bob Bescher, Max Carey, or an Eddie Collins; Fields his position like only Tris Speaker could, an arm like Bob Meusel, and the dynamic personality of a Johnnie Evers, plus real baseball brains, and you have met Oscar Charleston as we know him and hundreds of thousands of colored and white diamond fans will attest. Lincoln Giants Take Two Thrillers from Cuban Stars Both Games Won In Ninth by Local Team—Bacharach Glants Here Next Week With two men out, two strikes and three balls on George Scales in the ninth inning of the first game of a double header at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday, June 16, George singled, scoring Melton and Smith and giving the Lincolnns an 8-7 victory over the Cuban Stars. Earlier in the game Scales slipped and fell while going after a fly ball and it was this mishap that enabled the Islanders to take the lead in their half of the ninth. However this only made the game the more exciting, for at no time this season was the fighting spirit of the Giants more in evidence. The second game had a similar ending, although the heroes this time were Bill Yancey and Connie Rector, who went in as relief pitcher in the eighth inning. The Cubans rallied in the 7th and 8th innings for a total of 6 runs, this gave them a one run lead as the ninth inning came up. Rector succeeded in holding the visitors scoreless in their half of the ninth. Manager John Henry Lloyd started the rally for his team with a sharp single to right field; Spearman struck out but Yancey doubled, sending Lloyd to third. Then along came Rector and he also hit a two bagger, which scored both Lloyd and Yancey and gave his team a 12-11 victory. The Bacharach Giants will begin a four game series with the Lincoln Giants Sunday, June 23. A doubleheader will be played. Sunday and twilight games on Monday and Tuesday will conclude the series. THE INTER-STATE TATTLER y Cobb" Tolan Proves Class The loyal fans of human acceleration waited hours at the Wingate Memorial games at Babe Ruth's home stamping grounds last Monday night until 10:10 o'clock by a hot clock. And then Claude Bracey failed to equal Geogre Simpson's famous 9 2-5 century. The best the Rice Institute boy could do was 9 4-5. But that was enough to take care of Eddie Tolan of Michigan who, bracing for a splendid finish, lost by inches. Karl Wildemuth, running for New York A. C., was third to the tape and Bowen of U. of Pittsburgh, fourth. The first heat of the century found Tolan in command, with Wildermuth, Georgetown Flash, a hurrying second. The time was 9 9-10. Bracey's first move down the third bass line was done in 10 seconds flat, with Mowen of Pittsburgh second. The really high point, aside from that much discussed century, was the mile run. Leo Lermond, who hails from Boston, Moore of Brooklyn Harriers who had certainly thrives in heat. Going by Gus led the parade until the last turn of the fourth lap of the invitation mile, like the proverbial bat from the nether spaces, the Boston boy came in to surprise the clocks to the tune of 4.13 flat. Moore, who had set the pace, came into register 4.15 3-5. Joe Hickey was on Moore's heels in this exceedingly high powered endeavor and Wilbur Getz of Millrose was a far from late fourth. 100-YARD SPRINT, FINAL (Special Invitation)—Won by Claude O.

Manager PHILADELPHIA The Soap Box Cabaret Dance and Frolic at the New Elks Auditorium met the hearty approval of more than 900 patrons who pledged anew their loyalty and support to the future efforts of this famous old musical organization which began its career as amateur entertainers in the days of Gratton and Morris. The glaring absurdity of bright yellow "whoopee" hats worn by the Soaps, together with their wearied snake dance, furnished a brilliant setting for the special offerings of Morris Rixon, Ben. Ballard, Frank Johnson, Percy Warfield and Bill Lancaster, who gave realistic interpretations along their chosen lines. Each number was rendered with the old time vigor and elicited rounds of applause. In spite of the changes, which time has wrought there is always the sprinkling of old Philadelphia whose unswerving loyalty gave to the Soap Box its social status many years ago.

Catto Lodge of Elks in the old Home at 1621 South Street was one long to be remembered, by the large number of members who packed it to the doors. With Exalted Ruler Henry presiding the works of the order ran true to form. The speech by the Exalted Ruler of the New Home was right to the point. The past Exalted Rulers of the Lodge were out in large numbers at the last meeting of the Lodge, can you guess the reason. The Daughter Elks have played a wonderful part in working for the success of the New Home, which is one of the finest in the country. The old members of the Lodge who were present at the last meeting in the old Home had a chance to tell of some of the work, and the progress up to the present time. Space will not permit me to mention names at this time. On Thursday night, May 2nd, a meeting was held at Daughter Abbie Johnson's residence to form a booster club under the leadership of Daughter Myrtle Grimes, to boost Daughter Johnson, Vice D. R., for the Grand Daughter Ruler of Elks. She has been endorsed by all of the Temples in Philadelphia and other cities and states too numerous to mention. This week in the new Home will be long remembered. Every night something new to keep up interest. --- We have had the pleasure of entertaining in our city during the week end many well known musicians, among whom may be mentioned. Dr. R.

Gladen, 2019 Catherine St., was the scene of much merry-making Monday evening. Mrs. Gladden entertained her club, the Le Ultra Dames. After the business of the meeting was over, the Ultra Dames took every opportunity offered under such hospitable surroundings. After a few games of bridge and five hundred the guests were ushed into the magnificent dining room, where under soft lights, an elaborate supper was served. * * * The St. Mary Guild of St. John the Divine entertained Miss Pennie Askew, Philadelphia's model and the manikins who participated in the clever Parisian Review at a tea on last Sunday evening from 5 to 8 p. m., at the home of the president, Mrs. Hilda Hagans. The lovely home was altogether beautiful for the occasion. Pink was the color scheme carried out in every detail fro mpink roses and crepe paper and candles to the candles. This is an annual affair. Each year through the church Guild Miss Askew and the models make a large contribution to the church expenses.

Mrs. Edward Harris was hostess, assisted by Mrs. John Spencer, Mrs. Edward Cooper and Mrs. Ulysses Gilliam. Mrs. Samuel Day poured tea. The decorative work was a thing of beauty, the color scheme being pink and white. There were gorgcous vases filled with peonies and sweet peas. A most delicious collation was served. The club will close its activities for the season with a dinner dance on June 27th. * * * The De Luxe Follies staged at the St. Luke Parrish House, Friday evening under the auspices of Mamie Hope's De Luxe Orchestra, was, as I predicted, a swell affair. Raymond Peters, who possesses a fine baritone voice, opened the program with a vocal selection. The Peters Brothers lended much color to the program with their mirthful songs. The one and only Prudence Davis sang the song hit "Diga Diga Do"; Edna Lynn, a clever little dancer, featured a novelty dance; Ernest Huggins, who should go on the stage, put over a hot number—a buck and wing, the "New Low Down" and Snake Hips; another hit was the tap dancing and waltz clog by the supple little dancing master, Richard Starks. Then who but the comical "Go-get-'em" Rogers, formerly with the Shubert Circuit, should come strutting across the stage, keeping the house in an uproar from start to finish. Miss Mildred Ruby tickled the ivories to perfection. William Marshall was master of ceremonies. Dancing proceeded and followed the program. ```markdown ``` Last Friday evening, the attractive home of Mrs. Victoria Smith in Eaton Street, was the scene of much merriment.

SHORT AND SWEET The Weekly Award: This week we award the sandpaper underwear to that eminent sociological Negro, Dr. Mordecai Johnson, President of Howard University, for the following advice given recently to the graduating class of Tuskegee Institute, as reported in that noble journal, the New York Age: "The most urgent duty confronting young Negroes of this generation is to follow the Tuskegee leaders in their thinking...." This sage advice is doubly illuminating when it is recalled that Brother Moton gallantly advised the black A. E.

Our Jewish friends who so The Green Peach The Green Peach (Continued from Page 3) man got out of the cab and turned to assist his companion to alight. It was the country girl. Jimmy caught his breath. She looked so sweet and young and pretty. Her shining black hair was parted in the middle and drawn down. tightly against her face, showing the tips of her ears. The pink silk hem of her dancing frock hung below the edge of her modest black coat. Jimmy shot forward just as Tip turned from paying the carman. "Tip!' Jimmy touched his arm. Tip whirled and involuntarily reached for his hip pocket. When he saw Jimmy he straightened and frowned. "What you want?" "It's Marie," whispered Jimmy. "She's coming...." Tip swore under his breath and flung Jimmy's hand from his arm. 'Get outer here,' he snarled. "Didn't I tell you to leave that she devil's name outside?" "Say, Tip," whispered Jimmy again anxiously. "Marie's bent on making trouble to-night...." "You and her both can go straight to..." Tip stopped. The girl had drawn nearer and was looking expectantly at Jimmy, her eyes glowing with interest. Tip grasped her arm and urged her toward the hall. "Come on June, let's go in." Without another word, he led the girl into the hall. Once she turned her head a little and looked at Jimmy wistfully. He was so young and clean cut. Then she disappeared. Jimmy sighed a little. June.... a sweet name; just suited to the girl. If he only had a girl like June.... Suddenly as he stood there dreaming of dark eyes raised to his, a bright red hat moved into his line of vision. It was Marie. While he stared she disappeared through the lighted door into the hall. Without hesitation Jimmy strode into the hall too. He'd save June in spite of Tip. Once in the Casino Jimmy was bewildered. Which way to turn? There were so many people walking back and forth laughing noisely, joking, dancing. Jimmy moved into the crowd. Once he thought he had found June, but when he reached the girl in the pink dress, he found a stranger. Back and forth he prowled watching for a pair of dark eyes with smooth black hair banded tightly about a small head. Then he saw her. She was stand- --- in the Negro newspapers have made millions of dollars just turning our folks white for a few hours. "Three minutes by the clock," they say, and sure enough that brief period of application of black-no-more lotions, any Ethiopian can be made at least two shades lighter, and thus nearer the Negro ideal. But the desired shade doesn't last. After a few strenuous rounds of drinks or dances, the perspiration begins to do its dirty work and very shortly the unfortunate Ethiopian is as dark as ever. Even those who so strenuously swallow arsenic tablets have to almost kill themselves before they can get perceptibly lighter. In the quiet of their boudoirs they moan to themselevs: Half-a-shade, half-a-shade, half-a-shade onward How come I'm so black? The Lord must have blundered! All of this, I maintain, can be ended. If the Wizard of Tuskegee can make automobile tires, rugs, chandeliers, breakfast food, paint and medicine out of peanuts, why cannot some of our young men or women discover a formula to turn us white? This is the age of invention and science. In less than 100 years the whole face of the world has been changed by science, so why can't some of our bright young folks change the face of a race? This is the fastest way I know to make a million. Put a million cans of permanent skin whitener on the market tonight at ten dollars a can and by tomorrow morning you'll have enough money to buy the Ile de France for a pleasure yacht. A Menace from Texas: The Texas legislature has just passed a law requiring three days' notice of martial inten- ing against the rail that separated the dancing floor from the promenade. Her eyes flickered over the merry dancers wistfully. Jimmy's heart thumped outrageously and then seemed to stop abruptly. Just within Jimmy's line of sight, a red hat bobbed through the crowd, heading straight for that slim figure in pink with the black hair. Jimmy found himself running through the crowd. People gave way before him and turned to stare questioningly at his back. Then just as he thought the red hat would come face to face with June, the rusty square head of Tip hove into view. Tip stopped the woman in the red hat. Jimmy could see his face working angrily. Then Jimmy was beside the girl, June. "June..." he began softly, worriedly. The girl looked up quickly. "Who are you?" Then she seemed to recognize him and she smiled suddenly. "Oh.....it's you...." "Listen," Jimmy was urging her gently away from the railing. "There's going to be...." He never finished. The red hatted woman had sprung from the crowd with hand upraised. In the soft light Jimmy saw Marie's face hard and set with a murderous glint in her eyes. He jumped in front of June and reached for the glittering sliver of steel that showed in Marie's hand. One twist of the wrist and the woman lay sobbing against the railing. Jimmy turned. June had disappeared. "God..." he stared about him. No sign of her anywhere. Then a man who had watched the little drama admiringly, slid near the boy. "Hey, kid." he whispered. "The big guy took the dame outside." He jerked his thumb over his shoulder in the general direction of the front door. With a hurried word of thanks, Jimmy ran for the front door and emerged onto the sidewalk just in time to see Tip's broad back disappearing into a taxi. Just for a moment Jimmy thought he saw June's face pressed against the little window at the back of the cab, then the car wheeled into the middle of the street and tore away. When the taxi turned into Seventh Avenue, Jimmy was right behind in another cab. Down the avenue the two cars tore, darting in and out of the traffic lines with scant regard for passengers or pedestrians. The first cab turned down 145th street and halted abruptly near the middle of the block. Before his cab had barely stopped, Tip had leaped : - : out and dragged the girl with him toward a darkened doorway. Two seconds behind him went Jimmy. He caught Tip just as the man had drawn the girl through the inner door and was about to slam it. Tip swore and tried to push the boy out with one hand. while he kept tight hold of June's wrist with the other. "What you want?" he snarled at Jimmy. "I want to.....see June home," panted Jimmy, struggling against that powerful right hand that pressed the wind out of his lungs. "Oh, you do, do you?" growled Tip. "Well, she's my woman and my women don't let strangers see 'em home!" June gasped and began to cry. The tears goaded Jimmy into madness. "Let go of this door!" he panted desperately and with a final effort. he managed to fling Tip's restraining hand from his chest. Tip staggered back, hampered by the girl. Jimmy leaned against the wall for a moment to get his breath. Tip's eyes were rimmed with red. His huge fist clenched slowly and seemed to measure the distance to Jimmy's jaw. "I'll teach you to bother with my woman," he said softly, thrusting June behind him. "She isn't your woman!" Jimmy crouched and advanced toward the other man. Then suddenly the thudding of hard fists hitting flesh and the slithering sound of swiftly moving feet echoed through the dim hallway. From wall to wall the two men fought, battering each other unmercifully. It was over. Only the fact that Jimmy was younger and had lived a cleaner life than Tip saved the boy from complete disaster. As it was, Jimmy looked like the wreck of the Hesperus when he finally led the frightened girl from the hallway where Tip lay bruised and bleeding in a corner. "Is he dead?" June asked nervously, glancing back toward the hallway. Jimmy shook his head. He could not talk; he didn't have enough breath left to hail a taxi. June called a cab and they got in. Gradually Jimmy's wind came back and by the time they reached June's boarding house he was able to talk quite a bit.

The only way lots of folks can be inveigled into marriage is when they're full of corn or synthetic gin: Give them time to sober up and they invariably change their minds. Matrimony itself is a powerful intoxicant because it has such a long hangover. Of course such a law, if it became national, would not disturb a lot of people we know, who have two or three wives or husbands within a stone's throw of each other and get a new one every year. These folks never bother the clergy or the authorities when they want to get married or divorced. They just agree to disagree with their partners and that's that. A law that would make a lot of folks sit up and take notice would be one requiring every couple to prove that they are not bigamists and were legally married. Maybe that wouldn't cause a mess! Cut-Rate Landlords: A news item culled from a New York newspaper tells of 5000 new cut-rate taxicabs to go on the streets of that great city. That will be good news, doubtless, to the taxi-riding New Yorkers. What this country really needs, though, is more cut-rate landlords. If the rents keep going up we'll have to inaugurate polygamy in this country so a man will have more than one wife to help him get together the rent. No Laundryman: The eminent Chicago "Defender" announced in a recent number that a wealthy Chinese of Milwaukee, Wis., is to wed a prominent Negro Miss or St. Louis. Evidently the Mongolian doesn't run a laundry or else the St. Louis ladies are more exacting than many of those elsewhere. Let us hope that this marrying of Negro women by Chinese men doesn't grow into a fad. For if it be true that money draws the ladies, then the black boys will be out of luck, what with all of the restaurants and laundries these Mongolians own in our Black Belts. ```markdown ``` Whiten Your Skin Like This..In 10 Seconds Or Amazing Treatment Is FREE! you," sighed June, as they stood in the vestibule.

"My sister wrote you for a friend, and Jackie, they are getting along wonderfully. Therefore, I hope I may have the same luck as she." * * * (A letter which I believe mirrors the soul of the writer is given space in order that some young lady of worth may have the opportunity of responding.)

CENTRAL AVENUE Oklahoma City, Oklm Three More Clubs Entered in Tattler's Convention Contest The La Cretia Girls' Social Club Entered And Sent Little Miss Elizabeth Elzy Away To A. Flying Start. The Fish Boys Probably Will Back Doris Vasselles. Little Margaret Robinson Sports The Colors of The Sphinx S. C. THREE more clubs entered candidates in the big "Convention Queen Derby" of the Inter-State Tattler and the race is becoming thrilling and interesting. La Cretia Social Club, an organization of some fifteen or so young girls, escorted their popular little favorite, Elizabeth Elzy, to the Tattler office last Monday evening and entered her with sixteen thousand votes as a starter. Gee whittiker, these young ladies mean business and we don't mean, "Maybe." They are certainly out to bring their champion home, crowned the "Convention Queen" and having entered her, started to work with grim determination. Little Miss Christole Williams, president of the organization, realizes that hard work and hard work only will win. But she has set her heart on bringing Miss Elzy triumphantly victorious to Atlantic City and having this young lady crowned the Tattler's "Queen of the Convention." Little Miss Robinson, who now represents the Sphinx Social Club, an organization of young men, was also escorted to our office. She came with J. O. Thompson, the secretary and another member and they sent her off in the contest 12,000. "We may not win," said Mr. Thompson, "but the winners will know we were in the contest," he concluded. Miss Robinson had that quite determined air about her; "I have just got to go to Atlantic City and the Convention and I am willing to work real hard to accomplish my purpose," was the way she put it. As for the Fish Club, these boys have about decided to support Miss DON'T WAIT FOR WINTER'S ICY HAND ORDER COAL NOW! NO LONG WAITS DOBBINS COAL CO., Inc. 138th St. & Madison Ave. Marlton 8457-4458-6459 NO SHORT WEIGHTS turn back. With the aid of these popular boys, she'll be well up in the race at the finish. The club met last Tuesday evening and voted on a sum of money to be given Miss Vasselles for the contest. Each member was also pledged to obtain so many votes for the young lady who is sporting their club's colors. Miss Laura B. Watson took the lead away from Ruth Holloway this week and is now leading the field with 60,000 votes. Miss Watson jumped from 12th place to head the procession. Little Miss Margaret Roberts of Atlantic City took second honors with 49000, and a demure little Brooklyn lassie, Miss Mildred Pinder, is holding down third place, with 45,000. This spurt on the part of the young ladies just named forced Miss Ruth Holloway to fourth place. But unless we are badly mistaken, Miss Holloway will MARIE BEBE TOWNSEND, a clever little lady who, though in the profession, finds time to make a bid for the coveted crown of "Queen of the Convention." make a determined fight to regain the lead and nobody can tell what will happen within the next period. The contest has still eight weeks left, 56 days, and it is only natural that the lead will alternate with first this one leading for a week only to be displaced the following week, by another one of the contestants. The contest is far from being over. There is still time for any girl or club to enter the contest. But by the first of July, the race will be in full swing. The last five or six weeks will see the real fight for the honors and the Tattler's big $1,000,00 cash and prize awards that will be divided among the contestants and club. The real big drive will be made in July and August. So get in now. Contestant City and State Supporting Club LAURA B. WATSON, New York, N. Y. MARGARET ROBERTS, Atlantic City, N. J.

The Inter-State Tattler takes the position that if the colored Republicans are in the majority, and can find a competent colored man and woman to assume the role of Leadership, they should seek the Leadership of the entire district, and not a part of the district. There should be no middle ground, nor tampering with anything that smacks of Jim Crowism, in this the most Cosmopolitan city of the world. We cannot too loudly voice our commendation of the New York News and its editor, George W. Harris, former Assemblyman Pope B. Billups, Assemblyman John W. Remer, white, together with Mrs. E. Hortense Warner, the Lady Leader and others who are leaving no stone unturned to preserve the future of our children. 100 GIRLS WANTED for Atlantic City During Week Of THE ELKS' CONVENTION BEGINNING AUGUST 25, 1929 $1,000 in Cash and Prizes To Be Awarded Winners The contest started officially Monday, May 13th and will end Saturday, August 17, 1929.
