The New York Age TRIBUTE BY GOV. CRAIG TO BLACKS North Carolina's Executive Head Addresses the Negro Fair Association PRACTICAL EDUCATION Urges the Need of Practical Training for Both Races, Declaring that Would Make Better Citizens of all. PROUD OF STATE'S NEGROES Governor Asserts that Colored People of North Carolina are the Best on the Face of the Earth-Told of a Negro Farmer Named People, Who Raised Two Bales of Cotton on One Acre of Ground. RICHMON, N. C., Nov. 9.—Before a last audience of colored people at the opening of the Negro State Fair on October 28, Governor Locke Craig declared that the State of North Carolina was the home of the best colored people on earth, and that they had made more progress in he past thirty-five years than any other race in the world has ever made under similar conditions. The opening exercises were presided over by Berry O'Kelly of Method, N. C. president of the fair association. Mr O Kelly presented Prof. Charles H. Moore of Greensboro, state inspector of Negro schools, who delivered an eloquent address in introducing Governor Craig. The governor was accompanied by State Auditor W. P. Wood, State Treasurer B. R. Lacy and Dr. J. Y. Jomer, superintendent of public instruction. The remarks of Governor Craig, all of them confined within the limit of a half an hour address, were received with enthusiastic appreciation. When Governor Craig spoke of the schools and the reason why the Negro should appreciate and patronize the schools to give every black child in North Carolina a better chance he was cheered widely. Urged Practical Education Governor Craig urged practical education for the Negro but he urged the same sort of practical training for the white man. He told a story that is repeated in Senator Vance who said that the Negro instead of being taught to say "hate, hate" should be instructed to say "Haw Buck." "But the time has come," urged Government Craig, "when it is realized that we need to teach the white man that it all of us received more practical training and more practical education we would all be better citizens." "I am proud of North Carolina as one of the best colored people on the face of the earth," declared Government Craig and thousands of voices sheer and hands clapped. He continued by comparing the condition of the Negro now with his condition thirty years ago. Made Most Progress And I now say." added the Governor, "that you have made more progress and improvement in that thirty years than any other race in the state has made under similar conditions. He told his hearers, about North Carolina, about the greatness of the State about the spirit of justice that most here, a spirit what will justice to the white man and black man. It is a State, too he raised 645,000 bales of cotton compared to the 931,000 last tenures now that the limited 1915 is worth more than all the of 1914. Craig said that he had all of the man who could raise of cotton on an acre of land he had just seen the first time done it. It was a Negro people who had raised one pounds of lint cotton on an acre who can produce two bales on an acre is a useful citizen of the Governor. "He is a man he is a progressive man." Governor Craig brought home message. In face of twelve people the people of North white and black are going to next year. They are going to spite of everything 2000 Negro Children in School. before you make arrangements since a big crop of cotton," in nortern Craig, "you make ar- twork for your meat and bread." shouts of applause greeted this June Governor Craig continued will do this the storm may winds of adversity may blow may descend and beat upon the of some but they will not beat our house for it if founded upon nortern hundred and fifty thousand Ne- ed children are in North Caro- ond only 170,000 are enrolled in This leaves a total of seventy thousand Negro school children who are not attending any school. "And I want to tell you, that all this cotton, all this corn, all this wheat, is noting unless it gives to your children a better chance in this world," Governor Craig declared. Governor Craig congratulated the Negroes and the State upon the good feeling that exists between the races in North Carolina. Where there are good Negroes there are good white people, where there are good white people there are good Negroes. This is the way it goes. Races Must Work Together. "We together must defend this State," he urged, "and we together must build it up," and he reminded the Negroes that theres a destiny to perform in this State that may only be worked out by and discharged by putting forth all the strength of the race. "Don't encourage your children to come to town," he advised, "encourage them to say in the country. They may come to town and get a job that seems to pay more for the time being. But it is better in the long run to stay in the country where they are born." Governor Craig said that he was afraid an exodus of the Negroes of the country to the towns would enact again that story told of the colored preacher who accosted one of his congregation, a young servant girl. "Don't you want to serve the Lord," he asked. "No," she replied, "I've got a job that suits me." LATE REV. W. J. WHITE Special to Tig, New York Acr.

LUKE'S HOSPITAL Suffering from a nervous breakdown Dr Booker T Washington, principal to rescue Institute, is confined in a private room in St. Luke's Hospital at Amsterdam avenue and 13th street. Only his wife, his secretary and William G. Wilcox, a trustee of the institute have been allowed to see him. Dr Washington was taken to the hospital Friday, November 5, after an examination by Dr W A. Bastedo 57 West Fifth-eighth street who is now in charge of the case. The examination was made by advice of Seth Low, who is also a trustee. Dr Bastedo has issued the following statement: "Dr Washington has been 75 years from severe headaches for more than 10 months. His condition became serious enough to alarm the trustees. Completely Worn Out. "At the request of Mr. Low and Mr. Wikoe I made an examination of Dr. Washington a few days ago and found him completely worn out. He had been overworking and was in no condition to resume us work at Tuskegee. Mr. Low insisted that he be removed to St. Luke's for further observation. We have thoroughly overhauled him and that he is ageing rapidly. "There is a noticeable hardening of the arteries and he is extremely nervous. He is in no shape to go back to Tuskegee." When admitted to the hospital Dr. Washington requested that no information be given out to the effect that he was all Dr. Bastedi refused to let reporters see the patient yesterday. He said, however, that Dr Washington had received many gifts of flowers from Mr. Low, Mr. Wilcox and other acquaintances in New York. Asked how soon Dr. Washington would leave the hospital, Dr. Bastedo said "I don't know. I hope it will not be long. We want him to have a complete rest, however, and he is getting it now." Mr. Low said that the trustees of Tuskegee were not considering the retirement of Dr. Washington. "If he were well he would not be in a hospital," said Mr. Low, "but I hope that he will soon be able to resume his duties as principal. We have not contemplated choosing a successor." ALGIRE. PREJUDICED. BALTIMORE, Mr. Nov. 10 — The Democrats, by the election of Emerson C. Harrington, have regained the governorship. It was thought that Ongston E. Weller, Republican, would succeed Phillins Lee Goldsborough as governor, that Baltimore came the Democrats enough plurality to win the State by an apparent lead of 3,000 votes. The 23 counties returned a plurality of more than 3,000 for Weller. One of the striking things of the local campaign here was the defeat of Dr Harry C. Algren. Republican candidate for Register of Wills, by 13,000 majority. Over 60,000 colored men, out of a registered race vote here of nearly 17,000, refused to vote because he had presided as governor at an impost which shared a white man of killing his colored chauffeur. State's Attorney W. I. Browning, Republican, was received by more than 3,000 majority, and Chief Judge Morris H. Super, Republican, received a still larger majority. While the Democrats control both branches of the State Legislature they have only a bare majority. JERSEY NEGROES FORM THE DOUGLASS FILM CO. Serial to Tue, May 4 JERSEY CITY N. J.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—The African republic of Liberia, founded as a refuge for American freedmen, has become a center of a controversy between the Allies and Germany which has involved the United States. The British government discovered that a Liberian company financed by German capital had erected a powerful wireless station at Monrovia, the capital. A cable connects Monrovia with Pernambuco, Brazil. German representatives in various parts of the world have been sending messages to German agents in Pernambuco, who relayed them to Monrovia, from where they were transmitted by wireless to Germany. Great Britain protested against this unneutral course of the Monroviian government, but received little satisfaction. A British man-of-war was sent to Monrovia. The president of the republic, Daniel Howard, at once sent an appeal to President Wilson to intervene. Secretary of State Lansing requested the withdrawal of the British warship Great Britain complied, but pointed out that something had to be done in order to prevent Liberia from committing further violations of neutrality. In compliance with this suggestion Secretary Daniels has ordered the cruiser Chester to proceed to Monrovia. Liberia Holds Position of Importance In addition, the State Department has deemed it expedient to send a new minister to Montrose to replace George W. Buckner, who is all. The man selected is James L. Curtis, a prominent colored democrat of New York who will start at once for his new post. Liberia as a result of the development of wireless, has assumed an importance which the beligerents have not overlooked. In the development of this African state the American government has always manifested a peculiar interest. This government some years ago joined with Great Britain, France and Germany, in taking control of the finances, military organization, agriculture and boundary questions of Liberia. An American was appointed in charge of finances and he was assisted by English, French and German deputies. It is apparent therefore that the United States has a moral responsibility for the conduct of Liberia, which may prove embarrassing. If Liberia persists in permitting German agents to use the wireless Great Britain will have sound reason to take action. It may be necessary to notify Liberia that if she continues to violate neutrality the United States cannot continue to give her moral support. Before this stage is reached, however, it is probable that naval officers, serving on the Chester will assume control of the wireless station at Monrovia. This could be done of course only if requested by the Liberian authorities CHICAGO WOMEN REPLY TO PROF. KELLY MILLER Special to THE NEW YORK AGE CHICAGO, ILL. No. 9—Recent utterances by Kelly Miller of Howard University in opposition to woman suffrage have not met the approval of the members of the Frederick Douglass Center, 3032 Wapah Avenue an organization formed "to promote a just amicable relation between the white and related people." A committee from the Center composed of Cecia Parker Woolley head resident, Addie Robinson and Georgia Whyte has addressed a open letter to Prof Miller which is as follows: Dear Professor — The undersigned appointed to address you in this manner by the Youngstress Center Womans Club wish to deep appreciate of your past service and the educational held but as an able and hitherto, impartial advocate of human rights and of a growing democracy which draws no lines of race or sex or creed. It is because these feelings have been so strong that we are the more surprised and pained over your essays and the experience Up to this time we have followed your course without hesitation. We have listened to your frequent appeals from the platform have read your masterly essays as befall of larger opportunity as we believed for ever restricted class, we are for ever a deep sense of love and mental confusion over what seems to us a grave moral defection. We feel it hopeless to try to answer arguments like yours against women's right to the ballot, which begging your pardon are neither new nor weighty. They are of the same nature as those we have been discussing, and ways use in defense of class rights, the same as certain women suffragettes use against the Negro's political and social advancement. The cause of liberty is as wide as the earth's area. The friends of freedom must learn to walk albeitest. When the attempt is made to turn one group into another, we must exclude others from rights and privileges we ourselves have attained, the spectacle is a sorry one. The woman's cause is as large and important as the man's as the black man's, as the laboring man's. Sex has as little significance as race in just minds and in the distribution of national wealth, which we call citizenship. We have counted you among the believers in a human universalism that makes no exception of calis or individual. It is with profound sorrow that we see you step down from this level to another where you are content to seek a good for yourself and your particular group which you deoxygenate and which has offended your race great aid and inspiration and deserves a better return.

This demon- strates that the politicians of the gentler sex are learning the hard, practical rules of the game. In politics, a cause does not win merely because it is a just cause; its justice must be made known, it’must be placed before: the people and made clear to them; and that is something which requires money for its accomplishment. - To digress for a moment; it is just upon this point that we, as a race, iall short. We have a just cause, but we'do not put up the money which is necessary to place that cause before the great Amer- ican public in the proper manner. ‘There are a great manly things about us which, if they weré generally known, would gradually win public opinion over to our side. As it is, most of thé publicity which we obtain is of the kitid that turns public opinion against us. Of course, our present financal weight is not sufficient to control the instruments of publicity in this country which are opposed to us or not in sympathy with us; but we do not even give proper support to those that are fighting for our cause. Whatever just criticism that may be brought against Negro newspapers and magazines is outweighed by the fact that the race does not give the support which would enable these publications to become better and greater and able.to weild a wider and stronger influence. \s a race, we do not assist the propaganda in our behalf even by buying the books written by white or black men to set our case im the right light before the people of this country. ‘The women know that their cause 18 just, but they have learned chat it will take money to place their cause before the public so that the people at large will have the upportunity of rorming the same pinion. . . But we started this article with the intention of drawmg a com- parison; let us get down to that. - No une who has studied the woman suffrage movement can fail 10 be impressed with the fact that in spite of the numbers. intelli- gence, wealth and influence from within and without which the women have been able.to bring to bear they are up against obstactes in the East and the South which may yet require years to entirely overcome. Seeing this, the writer has been led to speculate upon what chances would the Negro now have to gain the right to vote if he Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments had not been adopted when they were. ‘There are those who declare that the adoption of the Fourteenth nd Fifteenth Amendments was a blunder; some go so far_as to call ta crime. There are thiose who say that the nation should have waited until the Negru was prepared for the ballot: we have heard| ‘olored men who were asinine enough to say the same thing. Wit! ressing the difficulty which white women are having, we ask, "When would it have been possible for the Negro to convince the country hat he was”prepared’ for the ballot?” Not in five hundred years. OF course, in certain states, the Negro has been denied his ight to vote; but he has the right Being denied the exercise of a ight is an entirely different thing from not having the right at all. \nd even the most unprincipled Negro-hating politician knows that hat right cannot forever be denied, for it stands watten in the sasic law of the land. If the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were not already . part of the fundamental law of the nation, we venture to say that he great-grandchild of no Negro now alive would live long enough o see them made so. s COMMENT: HERE AND THERE. ‘There is an error which 1s So old that it ys aw body outside of an insane asylum ean be found who to make it.

So long.as William Jennings Bryan continues to make himself ridiculous he can't blame the people for laughing at him. Read the following statement made by him at a recent mass meeting: “Since I've been in, politics reforms have been accomplished: without the loss of a single life that would have cost thousands ‘of hives in saceifice two Inmdred years ago. “Pity me?

No one will ever be able to tell how many white men have blacked up their {aces and committed crimes for which innocent Negroes have been lynched. ., AF you read these words. carefully you cannot but be astounded at the man's sublime egotism. Here he plainly infers that single- Handed he has accomplished reforms which would have cost the sacrifice of thousands of livés two hundred years ago, If Mr, Bry an did not meat to imply this, why did he say Since J have bgen in politics”? Why did he not say, for instance. “\Vithin rhe last twenty years.” And what are some of these wonderful’ reforms? Perhaps one of them is included in the great number of treaties which, as Sec- retary of State, he negotiated for the purpose of abolishing. war. ‘The second- paragraph quoted above makes it clear that. Mr Bryan claims the reforms of the last twenty years as his ‘own indi-, vidual work. He says, “If I had lived two centuries ago and alvo- cated’ what I do now 1 would have been hung.” There are times when one would be pardoned. for wishing that Mr. Bryan had lived two centuries ago. 3 The Fourteenth Amendment was designed for the protection of the Negro, but it is being given a wider application, —\rizonc passed an‘anti-alien law which provided that companies, partnerships or individuals employing more than five persons should have at leas: eighty per cent. of “qualified electors or native born citizens of the United States,” Mike Raich, a cook and foreigner was discharged by his employers under this law. Raich took his case through all the courts up to the Supreme Court. There Justice Hughes in handing down the opinion said: | “It requires no'argument to show that the right to work for a living in the common occupations of the community is of the ‘very essence of the personal {recdom and opportunity that st was the purpose of the Fourtcenth.Amendment to secure. If this could be refused solely-upon the ground of race or nationality the prohibition of the demal to any person of the equal protection of the laws would be a barren form of words,” Each time a decision is made in accordance with the spiric of the Fourteenth Amendment the Amendment itself is made stronger - The opinion handed down by Justice Hughes was that »of all his associates, except Justice McReynolds of Tennessee, who dis- sented on a matter of form. By strange coincidence, Mr. Justice McReynolds, of Tennessee, took no part in the consideration and decision handed down on the Oklahoma and Maryland cases, in which the same Fourteenth Amendment was involved. * j PROSPECTS OF PEACE. The surest signs of peace that have yet appeared are the constant denials which are being made by cach of the belligerents that it would considr any negotiations to that end. And yet. peace terms of one sort or another are continually propping up in the news. In our opinion, the louder the nations at war talk about their unwillingness to'make peace, the more anxjous they really are to do so. [WHAT TE PEOPLE AY | DR.

"Darkydon" is an all-colored show, with Miller and Lyles starred. It opened at the Fayetteville on upper 7th avenue last week, and may be still there, as Friday night found a capacity house by 8:05, the regular performance not starting until 8:30. The interim was filled in with a film. All-colored shows have an attraction to those who like to see something different in the musical comedy line once in a while, when the show is good—and "Darkydon" is good, made so mostly by the stars with their comedy. Miller and Lyles have played in vaudeville. They are not the ordinary colored two-act, straight and comic. Both of these men are comedians, which makes their combination an unusual or extraordinary one, especially since both are good comedians. In fact, Miller and Lyles, as per their work in this production, take first rank among all actual colored teams on the stage, in current or past times, for it would not beltle Bert Williams as the great single comedian he is, to say that Miller and Lyles are a funnier team than Williams and Walker were. There is another distinctive comedian in this troupe, Allie Gillam, taking the role of a colored hoboe. Were his stage partner, Will A. Cook, up to Gillam's mark, there would be another team, but anyway, a show with three corking comedians should be enough. The show is much the stronger on the comedy end. Nothing startling about the music. A fairly good book has been written by Henry Troy, who is also very prominent and agreeable in the performance as the singing "straight man." It tells of two tramps (Miller & Lyles) who were caught while stealing a ride on the special train of the road's president. The special had the right of road but was switched onto a siding in order the tramps would be thrown off. While on the siding a freight running without orders passed the special, and the president noting the narrow escape, sent his valet (Mr. Troy) to find the tramps whose stolen ride averted a calamity, and give them $500. The valet goes into Mound Bayou, Miss., where the entire locale of the piece has been -placed, and runs across another set of local bums (Gillam and Cook). Steve Jenkins (Mr. Miller) and Sam Peck (Mr. Lyles) had wandered into the village. Hearing the valet speak to the locals about stealing a ride, Jenkins and Peck suspect he is a railroad detective, searching for them. The story then continues with the two local tramps trying to secure the money while the two hoobes entailed to it are running away from the reward. Incidental to the action are four scenes, three of them in the final act of the two. Nineteen musical numbers especially written are by Will Marlon Cook in music and Henry S. Creamer, lyrics. Jesse A. Shupp and Will A. Cook staged the show. A new movement in chorus girl work is a quick moving action, so neat in its simplicity it's odd no white producer thought of it. Then there is a new bit of comedy business on a cellar door, the scene taken by Miller and Lyles. It is funny enough to be minutely described in a review of the piece by a daily. "New comedy business" is, so rare this cellar-door bit stands out like the Statute does down the bay. The singing department is led by Mr. Troy, Abbie Mitchell, Fannie Wise and Opal Cooper. Mr. Cooper has a lyric tenor that were he not colored would land him in very fast singing company. Miss Mitchell is the same Abbie, a finished artist of her race who never seems to grow older. She did the ballads wonderfully well and it's worth listening to her for comparative purposes with the flood of lately recruited white singers of her line onto the stage. Frank Walker plays a Chinaman unassumingly and makes the character good for laughs in a quiet manner. The chorus is large, with several boys in it, four of them composing a quartet. A little girl who divals the ace of spades for color and a racing engine for ginger outdistances all the others for getting-over personality and work. She is Ida Forsyne. There might be a soubret role written in the piece for her. The girl doesn't deserve to remain in the ranks, for two reasons, she is beyond that, and "shows up" the other chorus girls is the disadvantage of the performance. Miss Forsyne led "Scay-a-da-Mootch," one of the best rags of the evening, but it remains a question whether any but a colored person could get the number over as it should be done. Helen Baxter, another chorister, did well well with "Rat-a-Tat" that called for a conventional drum chorus behind her. It was this number that kept the lady drummer of the Lafayette's female orchestra on the jump every minute. The colored female orchestra may be a part of the show. The rag numbers, however, need all the volume that may be given them and it's up to the show's management to decide whether the woman players can do this. The musical end is strongest on ballads, of the straight and rag kind. In the early part of the show they followed each other too rapidly, and this part of the performance was somewhat ragged. It will likely be remedied to provide better entrances, although a shift in the numbers and perhaps an elimination or so would be of help. "Live and Die in Dixieland" is the finale of the first part. In the second act, Mr. Troy has "Life," nicely done, by him, and Creighton Thompson sings "Ghost Ship" which is very well led up to, through the continual insistence of a "nut" (De Koven Thompson), who wants to tell a ghost story. (This idea of listening to a ghost story appeared to particularly amuse the colored attendance at the Lafayette.) Mr. Thompson makes his "nut" a sort of "Dr Dippy" role, but it fits in Miss Mitchell's best number was "Daddy Lips," but she did a "Smoke" song well Lester A. Walton, a prominent Negro, also concerned in the management of the theatre, and connected with the recognized colored organ, The Age, has "Darkydon" under his direction. It looks like a show that can be rounded into a standard colored attraction, good for touring purposes for a long time to come, while those two crackaack funy men, Miler and -Lyles (who are both young), remain the standard beaters. Of course, as might be concluded, "Darkydom" was not extravagantly embl bellished tarsorially or scenically at the Lafayette. That was not necessary, and will probably be attended to when Mr. Walton assures himself he has a "show" in "Darkydom." He may be assured of it. He has, and the only thing needed besides building it up, is judgment in hookings. It would be unwise to at attempt too much too soon with two comedians who are there, but still have to be "made." When Miller and Lyle the "made" Mr. Walton can take a long chance. Until then he should be satisfied to trot along. Sime. EDITOR'S NOTE - Variety is America's leading theatrical weekly. LAFAYETTE THEATRE. How careful Morgenstern and Walton are of the reputation of their playhouse on Seventh avenue was demonstrated Monday when they cancelled the King Stock Co. There has never been a time since they have been in possession of the Lafayette that they have not been very careful of the character of their performances. On account of the lewdness of the performance the management deemed it only right, in justice to their patrons, to put an entirely new show in for the rest of the week. The Lafayette management were extremely fortunate in locating the Five Byron Brothers, who are ever welcome favorites in Harlem. The novelty Minstrels came in the nature of a surprise and from the amount of applause were more than appreciated. Blanche Deas and Dooley Wilson had to respond to several encores. Bradford and Jeanette are back, and made good. A novelty act of merit, Wood & Mandeville, a dancing act with singer, completed one of the best bills the Lafayette has had in some time.

C. of Chicago was winner of the hare and hound race staged by Martin Delaney of the Chicago American Saturday, October 30, at Jackson Park. Blueitt put up a good race and was given first prize, a beautiful silver cup. Fritz Pollard, the speedy half-back of Brown University football team, was a great factor in the football game between Yale and Brown at New Haven last Saturday, when Brown defeated Yale by the score of 3 to 0. Pollard who assisted Captain Andrews in the toe work, outpunted the Yale toe artists by ten yards at each exchange. Pollard gained more ground than any other Brown player. His end run, of thirty yards featured the third period, while his catching of punts and his clever and fast runs back held Brown safe after its lead of three points had been secured. This is not the first game Pollard has starred in, as he has been playing high-grade football all season. Pollard hails from Chicago and is a product of Lane Tech. high school, Chicago, Ill.

Va.—With very fine weather and a record breaking crowd to witness the annual event, Garnett High School of Charleston and Douglass High of this city met on the Marshal College field in a football contest November 5. These two high schools are the largest colored high schools in the state. The game was full of thrills and was stubbornly played throughout although the visitors never scored after the first period. Garnett could not penetrate the Douglass line. The final score stood 39 to 7 in favor of Douglass. The line-up was as follows: Douglass—Robinson, r.h; Hyder, l.h; Eaves, f.h.; Carter, r.e; Gipson, q.b; Dixon, c.; Dickerson, l.t.; Winston, le; Lewis, r.g; Richardson, l.g Garnett—Roy, r.m; W Thompson, lh: N Thompson, f.h.; Cuzzens, r.e; Banks, q.h; Boarde, c.; Burnell, l.t.; Davis, le; Lane, r.t.; Goode, r.g; Campbell, l.g.

McEwen, for the annual game with Jackson College at the State. The teams met Thursday, November 4 and Rust showed her supremacy with a field goal by B. Putman which proved to be the winning score. The teams were well matched and a hot battle was witnessed during the entire game. Rust had more than one chance to score touchdown, only to lose by fumbles. Rust has not been scored on this season, and Capt. L. E. Stevens promises to maintain this standard. Western Fighter Wants Match. OMAHA, Neh- Charlie Bird manager, Dunbar Athletic Club 111 South 14th street. Omaha Neh, wants to match Conrad Young Dudley who claims to be the colored champion of the Midtown West against any boxer in the world at 133 pounds. It is claimed for Dudley that he is a fighter, not a stallier and a brilliant performer in the roped arena. BASKETBALL. (BY WILL, ANTHONY MADDEN.) With Thanksgiving Day just two weeks off excitement is running high at the prospects of the opening of the basketball season in New York. All the clubs are hard at work putting their teams through a system of practice and training with the one thought in mind and that the winig of the coveted title of champions. New York and New Jersey will fight it out on Manhattan Casino court on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day, November 25, when the "Incorporators" representing New York will line-up against the Imperials of Orange, N. J. This will start he ball rolling in a big way and from then on the big games will continue until the end of the season. --- I have learned from good authority that the Smart Set basketball teams have disbanded and the different players have joined other clubs. Payton, one of the best players of the Carlton Y. M. C. A., is doubtful whether he will be able to give much time to the game this season owing to the great amount of time needed for his studies. Still might mention that the referrer's whistle is a strong temptation for a basketball player, and he generally finds it pretty hard to resist the call of the courts. --- This season all teams in the field for the championship will have to meet all other teams in the field who are contenders for the title. There will be no hiding behind technicality and standing on ceremony and each team will have to be ready to meet all comers. No one man, or no one club can, or ever will be able to control basketball so any laboring under that impression may as well give up the idea. The public has a good deal to say about basketball and they know what they want and although certain issues may be sidetracked for a while, it is only a matter of time when they must meet. The public supports these different organizations and the organizations must cater to the public. There will be no favoritism and each club will have to fight for the championship. It will not be handed out on a silver platter. Furthermore, no one club will decide the title. Public opinion will have a strong bearing on the case. The New York Age, The New York News, The Amsterdam News and The New Jersey Informer will stand together on this matter of fairness and justice. --- Fredie Lowry of the St. Christopher Club of St. Philips Parish was badly hurt in a game about a week ago. His ankle was in such bad condition that he was laid up for a week. Although he is out now he has to use a cane. It is doubtful if Lowry will be able to play for a couple of months. This accident reminds me of how very unlucky he is. Lowry has had quite a long career in basket ball and has been badly hurt on several occasions. Here's hoping he will soon be alright again The Spartans are working hard The delegation the Imperials will bring to New York on Thanksgiving Day will be the biggest that ever came from Jersey to witness a game. The Imperials can play basketball so the game against the world champion incorporators will be a hummer. There are so many things to attract at Manhattan Casino on Thanksgiving Day that everybody from everywhere will be there. Basketball, music, dancing, color-flags, pennants, barges, souvenirs, pictures and a score of pretty girls as officials will make the day one long to be remembered. Read advertisement of the game. . . . The Delaney Riffes of Pittsburgh, Pa. are not only basketball players but are also followers of the gridiron which will be proven when they meet Lincoln University in a football match on Thanksgiving Day Imperials Defeat Soldiers. That the Imperials of Orange, N. J. intend to be strong contenders for the championship honors this season was evidenced by the game they played against the team of Company E, stregament at Douglas Auditorium on Friday evening. The Imperials, were scheduled to play the Spartans of New York but the New York boys did not show up so the soldier team was substituted. The Imperials played their usual good fast game and an improvement in team work was noticeable and although the soldiers have a big strong team the Imperial's better knowledge of the game allowed them to win by the final score of 58-22. If the Jersey boys play like this against the "Incorporators" on Thanksgiving Day, the world champions will have to look to their laurels. Goode led his team in shooting, closely followed by Otey, Townsend and Blanchard. Goins also tallied three field goals. One thing certain is that the Imperias team can shoot. The line-up.

CHICAGO, Ill.—The Alpha Golf Club journeyed to Rockford, Ill., Thursday, November 4, in their autos to see Theo Pankey play De Fav the upper state amateur champion. Pankey won out 3 up, finishing 8 holes in eighty, two under boggy DeFay 83. De Fav's driving was ten to twenty yards better than Pankey's. The approaches and putting of Pankey were superb and he was in grand form. One of the features of the day was the exhibition driving of one Richards of Nashville. Ten. After the match taking ten drives from first tie, he sent, the ball 350 yards six times and 400 yards the four last drives. Y. M. C. A. Beats Somerville. At Olympic Field last Saturday the Colorado Mon's Brunch Y. M. C. A.'s football team defeated the football team of the Somerville A. C. in a contest by the score of 13 to 13 before a small corwd of enthusiastic spectators. For a time, it looked as if the New York team would go down to debent but as the newness wore off the backs charged almost at will through Som- erville the and several long end runs were made. Somerville could not gain any ground through the Y. M. C. A.'s line, but made telling use of the, forward pass, Somerville made two touchdowns as the result of well executed passes from the New York team to New York period of play. After that mary first down did Somerville make. Forbes and Gunn skinned tackle repeatedly for ten to thirty yard gains and Watkins always bored through for the necessary down distance. Both Forbes and Gunn tore off a beautiful down and Watkins tore off two downs and the defensive work of Forbes was good. The passing of Moore to Newt Carson featured Somerville's play, New York's entire lino held well, the play of Gannt, Ricks and Layton being especially good. Gardner's generalship and cheering words to the boys had required effect. The work of Perkins, Gunn, Watkilling and Forbes has seldom been exciled. Clean playing marked the contest and the remarkable condition of the men is proved by the fact that not one man was removed for physical disability. Virginia Normal Defends St. Paul. Petersburg, Va.—In a thrilling game of football, the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute varsity team defeated the St. Paul aggregation on the former's campus by the score 19 to 0. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a contest between colored teams was on hand. The two teams were compromised. Both teams were in the pink of condition and played a fast game. At the end of the first half neither team had scored. But when they came back on the field for the second half the teams started at each like human tikers. When brute strength could not conquer they resorted to strategy. St. Paul using forward passes to good advantage and a well-timed back-swing side and lateral passes with decided advantage. The fast play kept the roofters constantly cheering Towards the end of the third quarter V. N & I. I. had worked its way within striking distance of its opponent's goal. Well executed (cross tackle) bucks by Reavis carried the ball over for the first touchdown of the game. The goal was missed and the count was 11. & I. I. In the same period a forward pass by Reavis to C. Jackson netted another touchdown. In the final period A. Jackson hit the line for fifteen yards for the final touchdown of the game after which he kicked the goal. This ended the game. The victory was due largely to the game-winning shot by two starred at every opportunity with consistent gains around the ends. The line up V. N I I-Jackson, A., left end. Chiles left tackle; Melton, left guard. Williamson, center, Maddux, right guard. Willis, right tackle; Jackson, C. Cap, right end; Anderson, quarterback; Henderson, right halfback.
