Chicago, Ill., Jan. 10.—Paul Rayfield Johnson, a six year old Negro boy of this city, has taken an honorable place in the race. He is $50 the richer by reason of this fact and "colored" Chicago is highly pleased with this latest honor that has come unsought to the race in this section. The Chicago Tribune is awarding daily $50 prizes to the politest person discovered by its "Polite Editor," On the 3d of January the editor ran across young traveler far and far, then the nightly streets of the city and had about given up his searching for the day when he ran into Paul at the corner of Wabash avenue and Thirty-fifth street. The poouthful Negro's politeness overwhined the editor, the story goes that he was "knocked cold" and that it took him several minutes to recover his equanimity under the stress of the very unusual circumstances of finding a member of the "culud" race the politest person of a hard day's travel and seen. Rayfield Johnson is wearing his honors easy and becomingly, and has promised to use the prize money in an earnest endeavor to start on the road of procuring a good education. His only relative in the city is an aged grandmother who promises to aid the boy to carry out his intentions in thispartiement. A considerable number of colored citizens have evinced an interest in the boy and there is a strong probability that he will be the center of a well advised cooperation from members of the race whenever he starts on his trip to the city of Chicago to knowledge of things.

He said he expects to place the state franchises for New York, New Jersey and Maryland, a promoter of the new "outlaw" league said three of the eight franchises for the eight club league had been granted as follows: Indiana with the state club playing at Indianapolis; Massachusetts, with the club playing at Boston; Ontario, playing at Toronto. In connection with the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts franchises Lawson stated, he was strongly opposed to the N.C. Cuban clubs. He pointed out that that there were at least 100 Negro baseball players in the country who qualified in playing the best average of the major leagues. Lawson intimated that the Continental league would sign desirable players without regard to their former league affiliations, except that all major league players involved in the recent expose in Chicago were automatically barred. There will be no salary for any player, and any club a club can carry and the contracts will have no reserve clause. A player will be signed for one full season and at the end of this contract will become a free agent. by Lee- was also arrange- vet and as they the em- manage- such a take it an Application has been made, according to Lawson, for an American Feder- ation of Labor charter for each club, the players thus becoming unionized.
