Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 24.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, passed through here this morning enroute from St. Augustine, Florida, where he held an important conference yesterday with President-elect Harding. When asked concerning the conference, Dr. Moton said: "The interview had no political significance. In company with some representative southern white men, I went to tell Mr. Harding something of the movement for inter-racial cooperation, which has been organized in the South and which is gaining strength every day. Mr. Harding expressed himself as being in warmest sympathy with the work of the Inter-racial commission, which is helping to bring about understanding and helpful co-operation between the races and the members of the party were very much impressed with the president-elect's earnestness and sincerity." It is understood that after Dr. Moton and members of the party had spoken frankly concerning some of the handicaps to thorough understanding between the races in the South and the efforts which representative white and colored people are putting forth to remove them, Mr. Harding plunged freely into the discussion and expressed his appreciation of the remarkable advancement which the Negro has made along all lines since emancipation, as well as his desire to help and encourage this progress. The Southern white men who accompanied Dr. Moton were Dr. W. W. Alexander of the inter-racial commission, Atlanta, Georgia; Dr. M. Ashbie Jones, pastor of Ponce de Leon Baptist church, Atlanta Ga.; John J. Eagan, banker and manufacturer, Atlanta, Ga.; and T. T. Woolter, Jr., Phelps-Stokes fund, New York City. The colored members of the party, in addition to Dr. Moton, were Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute and A. L. Holsey, secretary to the principal, Tuskegee Institute. Amalgamation Will Solve Race Problem Says Arthur Brisbane (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Feb. 24.—Arthur Brisbane, the well-known editor and philosopher, is of the opinion that amalgamation is to be the final outcome of all racial difficulties, and that the last great race will be white, which, he claims, should satisfy everyone. His opinion is: "The white men are going to rule the earth because they are a little nearer to civilization than the other colors. Not brown men, or yellow men, or black men, or the hairy Ainus that once owned Japan, are destined to rule. Black, white, yellow and brown will disappear and go through their later incarnations in white skins. And that ought to suit them, just as it suits the white rulers now to be rid of the red hair, projecting jaws, and the great canine teeth that once marked them all." Mr. Advertiser The Tribune is read by practically every Colored family in Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, and Tempe. It also has a wide circulation throughout the State of Arizona as well as in New Mexico, southwest Texas and other states. ```markdown ``` Do You Want This Trade? POLITICAL OUTLOOK FOR RACE IS GOOD SAYS PROF. MILLER (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, Feb. 24.—In a recent address here, Dean Kelly Miller of the Junlor College of Howard University, Washington, D. C., predicted that within six years there will be Negro representatives from New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago in congress. This will be one of the political results of the migration of some 600,000 Negroes from the south during the last decade. He read census statistics showing the Negro population in New York to be 175,000, in Philadelphia 134,000, and in Washington and Chicago 109,000 each. "From these concentrations there will develop a political self consciousness," he added. "You will find that these communities will be sending representatives to city councils and state legislatures. After a while they will send representatives to the congress of the United States. It is safe to perdict that within four or six years there will be a Negro congressman from New York City, one from Philadelphia and one from Chicago. The population is sufficiently large to come within requirements of congress districts." DOUGLAS By Norman King If you desire to read the best paper in the State of Arizona, read the Phoenix Tribune.

Everybody invited, Economic Justice Is Request Of Blacks Not Social Equality (By The Associated Negro Press) Portland, Maine, Feb. 24.—Following suggestions of the Associated Negro Press that it is necessary to give our point of view to the white people a statement was recently published here in the daily newspapers in protest against an article appearing about "social equality." Said the statement: "Negroes of even average intelligence are not prone to seek "social equality." In the first place, we demand nothing, but we do ask for "political and economic justice." The idea of social equality has perhaps done much to hinder the needed co-operation between the two races. You will find that Negroes are asking for their rights as law-abiding citizens, which are set forth in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution." The office seeks no man in these days, the man doesn't give it time. PHOENIX. ARIZONA. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1921. (By The Associated Negro Press.) Utica, Miss., Feb. 24.—This has been a great day for the farmers of Mississippi, it being their annual gathering at the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, Utica, Mississippi, for the purpose of discussing their problems and trying to "find a way out." The number and character of the men alone present would have been sufficient to guarantee the success of the gathering; but the fervor with which these people discussed their problems and the earnestness with which they sought to find solutions, will long be remembered by those present. Dr. George W. Carver, the famous Tuskegee chemist, came over with his annual demonstration which always well nigh confounds his audences. He had just returned from Washington where he spoke before a joint committee of the house and senate, on his discoveries regarding the peanut, and it will be remembered that his discoveries, explained in a paper before this august body, changed the opinions of the senators and representatives to such extent that certain legislation regarding southern states underwent a radical change. White friends came from far and near to show their appreciation of the work being done at The Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, and also, to hear this famous chemist While here, Dr. Carver had invitations to speak to various bodies in the State of Mississippi. In regard to the progress of Negroes, reports showed that in the community surrounding The Utica Normal & Industrial Institute, Negroes have been steadily gaining in land ownership for the past 18 years; so that at the present time about 30,000 acres of land are owned by them, and although this is small by comparison, it still shows that commendable progress has been made. William H. Holtzelaw, principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute and re-elected for the 15th time, president of the Utica Negro Farmers' conference, delivered an address to the farmers. GETTING MORE LIKE WHITES EVERY DAY (By The Associated Negro Press.) Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 24.—Divorces are growing more popular here. Strange to say there seems to be more unrest among the colored couples than white. There were 25 suits for divorce filed in the chancery court and 17 in the circuit curt last month. The majority of the cases in both courts were filed by Negroes. Grand Opening March 5 The people of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley will be given an opportunity such as is seldom witnessed in this section of the country, when on next Saturday evening, March 5th, the "White Swan Cozy Corner," lunch room, confectionery and tea garden, at 137 South Second street, will be formally opened by the ladies of the Phoenix Federation of Colored Women's clubs.

INSTITUTE Topeka, Kans., Feb. 24.—Never in the history of the state of Kansas has the entire legislature adjourned to visit any institution on any occasion. Five hundred people, composed of the entire membership of the house and senate, with their secretaries, wives and daughters, led by Governor Henry J. Allen, came to the colored institution for the celebration of Lincoln's birthday. The lawmakers were met at the state house by the members of the chamber of commerce and business men of the city who have been interested in the progress of the Institute. Representative Minnie Grinstead of Liberal, the first woman representative of the state, spoke on "How the Memory of Lincoln Should be Perpetuated Thruout the Institution." She gave a most remarkable address and urged her fellow law-makers to join her in the growth of this useful supply, and seeing that sufficient appropriation be made. Representative D. E. Lamb of Herrington followed in speaking of the "Survival of the Useful." Senator A. Docking from Manhattan and a great friend of the colored people, delivered a very strong address on Lincoln and the interest in the colored people and the duty of the State of Kansas in seeing that the entire state should give the entire people opportunity, as Lincoln would have done. Senator Charles E. Snyder of Leavenworth spoke in behalf of the colored people and the desire to do more for the Colored Institution than for any other in the state. The institution seeks an appropriation of a quarter of a million dollars, a part of which is to go for improvements: new hospital, boys' dormitory, central heating plant, wings on boys' trade school, teachers' cottages and other improvements. From the spirits of the legislature, there is no question about the entire amount being appropriated. Governor Henry J. Allen concluded the speech-making by lauding Lincoln for the service rendered the entire nation in freeing not only the colored men but in freeing America from human slavery and ridding the national government of the greatest blot on its record to help the colored men in the fullest extent to the highest citizenship and usefulness in our country. Mayor Herbert Corwine of Topeka, introduced Principle G. R. Bridgeforth. He spoke a few words concerning the founding of the Institute in the spirit of Lincoln by the white and colored people working together for the needed improvements. He referred to Booker T. Washington in his address as one of the men who fostered the institution. The institution this year has the largest enrollment in its history and the most competent faculty. Principal G. R. Bridgeforth took charge of the institute only three years ago, coming directly from Tuskegee institute where he served 16 years as head of the agricultural school. He richly deserves all the assistance the legislature can give TEXANS OBJECT TO MINIMUM WAGE LAW (By The Associated Negro Press.) Houston, Texas, Feb. 24.—The minimum wage law which is to be introduced at the coming session of the legislature is sure to cause a bitter fight in this state. The objection to the law is based largely on the fact that it is applied flatly over the state to colored, white and Mexican women alike. The Texans contend that colored and Mexican women should not receive a guarantee of $12.00 per week, and while the Federation of Labor is fighting for the bill it probably will be defeated. Ladies of the Coterie club met last week with Mrs. L. A. Walker, 1122 East Jefferson street, and this week will meet with Mrs. Geo. Strelen, 810 Montezuma avenue. Buys Church Property Bishop L. W. Kyles of the A. M. E. Zion church has purchased the old Pentecostal church property, corner 10th street and East Washington. HEARTY RESPONSE GREETS APPEAL OF NEAR EAST RELIEF "Funds now being raised for the children of Armenia are increasing daily," is the statement of Charles F. Willis, Arizona director of the Near East Relief. The past week the Near East field workers spent in Prescott where a hearty response was made to the appeal, showing that even in these so-called "hard times" for us, the people of Arizona are glad to do their part in helping to save these children across the sea—the children of one of our most faithful allies—made orphans by war, starvation and massacre. In the words of Cleveland H. Dodge, New York banker and Arizona mining man: "A nation has been saved by the generosity of the American people through the Near East Relief. We have today in orphanages over 210,000 children; every bite they eat, every stitch they wear, is the gift of the American people through the Near East Relief. "This is exclusive of 63 hospitals with 6552 beds, 128 clinics, rescue homes for girls, and innumerable thousands of refugees who are being helped through our soup kitchens, industrial relief, and other ways. "The average salary of the 500 field workers in Armenia is $50 a month, and many of them are facing great personal danger and hardships in the performance of their life saving service. A score of, them have died from typhus and other diseases." Mr. Dodge considers this one of the most stupendous undertakings of disinterested philanthropy the world has ever seen. "Our American ideal of liberty, industry and helpfulness has brought us as a people happiness and prosperity." He says, "Out of the fullness of this heritage we are furnishing a faithful and undaunted Christian people the aid which will enable them to reach the same fulfillment that God has given us." FIRE INSURANCE CO. ORGANIZED BY BLACKS IN NORTH CAROLINA FIRE INSURANCE CO. ORGANIZED BY BLACKS IN NORTH CAROLINA (By The Associated Negro Press.) Durham, N. Car., Feb. 24.—What is said to be the first strictly oldline Negro fire insurance company in America received a license yesterday from the North Carolina insurance department and opened offices in the Hayti Drug company building on Fayetteville street in this city.

Dr. Woodson endeavors to show that because the inconsistency and the reactionary tendency of that tribunal, Negro citizenship has been made a fiction. EFFORT WAS MADE TO PLACE NEGRO IN HARDING'S CABINET EFFORT WAS MADE TO PLACE NEGRO IN HARDING'S CABINET (By The Associated Negro Press.) New York, Feb. 24.—The appointment of a Negro to the cabinet was urged in a letter sent yesterday to President-elect Warren G. Harding by the Bronx and Manhattan Non-Partisan Citizens Union. The letter, which was signed by Eugene McIntosh in part follows: "This association hereby desires to request your consideration of a colored man for a member of your cabinet." I realize that to some this request will appear paradoxical and that to others it may seem inexpedient for you to appoint a colored man as a member of your official family, but justice knoweth no brother and who can contend that the Negro by ability, loyalty and sacrifice, is not entitled to a place in the council of this nation?" FLAGSTAFF By Mrs. Estelle Wallace By Mrs. Estelle Wallace The regular meeting of the local branch N. A. A. C. P. was held Tuesday evening, February 15th, at the Baptist church. Dolores and Arthur Davis are confined to their home with the mumps. The Willing Workers club met Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Estelle Wallace and held a very pleasant meeting. After all business had been transacted, the hostess served a dainty repast. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Polk entertained last Wednesday evening with a party at their home. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. S. L. White, Mr. and Mrs. Judge Miller, Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Garrison, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Horne, Missess Lizzie Barnett, Mary Craig, Naimo Tabron, Miss Hawkins of Denver, Colo, Mrs Mary E. Davis, Mrs. E. Wallace, Mr. Carroll Williams and Mr. Hawkins. The evening was spent at whist. Refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests departed and all proclaimed Mrs. Polk a delightful hostess. SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (By The Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 24.—Indianapolis has gone on record as having "something new under the sun." A jury of twelve Colored women took twelve minutes to decide that Daniel Holt was entitled to damages from Mr. and Mrs. Fife for crashing into his wagon with their automobile. The jury decided that the whole thing was an accident. Here's Way To Solve The High Rent Problem (By The Associated. Negro Press.) New Orleans, La., Feb. 24.—Quite a number of Negroes in the Third district of the seventh ward are solving the problem of high rentals and housing shortage by getting together and building their own homes and paying for them on rental terms monthly. Already more than 200 fourroom cottage have been built in this section, and 11 are now under construction. Return From Aio Rev. J. B. Bell, pioneer minister of Arizona and New Mexico, returned this week from Ajo, Ariz., where he has been on ministerial work. He reports a number of colored people in the Ajo district and all doing well. They have a splendid little church and regular services are held. Although they have no pastor, the members are loyal to the church. Mr. Geo. Brown of that city has purchased a home in Phoenix and soon will be one of us. Mrs. M. J. Jones is erecting a dandy home in Ajo and thinks that it is the only city fit to live in. Rev. Bell balzed the way for the Baptists in this state and much credit is due him. He has built over seventeen churches in Arizona and New Mexico in the past seventeen years and still has many years of active service before him. Long may he live. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year NEWSPAPER BEST AID TO THE RACE SAYS NOTED DIVINE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Springfield, Mass., Feb. 24.—Newspapers offer the Negro one of his strongest aids in overcoming the obstacles which he has to confront, Rev. W. N. DeBerry, pastor of St. John's Congregational church, told members of the Colored Republican club at the meeting here. He classes ignorance as equal to sin and crime and said that in its wake follows misery and destruction, which is unnecessary in these days when such wells of information can be found in the newspapers and magazines. Dr. DeBerry said he believed in moral and social evolution and also that the world is getting better as it goes forward, and he believes also that the Negro will sooner or later get an equitable status of freedom and opportunity. He sees great progress made in the last 50 years and said that he gets inspiration by reviewing the past. He does not expect equality of races, saying that no races or individuals are equal and quoted the Bible as his authority. Those capable of better things will earn them, he advised. The Negro may be deprived of development today but the time will come when he will have an equitable status of freedom and opportunity, he said, and he argued for intellectual, material, moral and spiritual efficiency as he says character will win out. VICE-PRES. MARSHALL GETS "FUNNY" ON EVE OF HIS DEPARTURE VICE-PRES. MARSHALL GETS "FUNNY" ON EVE OF HIS DEPARTURE (By The Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Feb. 14. — The "Hoosier" and retiring vice-president of the United States has gained his greatest reputation not as a statesman, but as endeavoring to be "funny." He got his latest off here in endeavoring to tell how the Democrats are going to "bury" the Republicans in the elections next year. Hear "Tom" Marshall: "Two darkies had just been mustered out of the service and were discussing the best way of celebrating the great victory they had won over Germany. "Well, Aaron," said one of them, "what's you goin' to do to celebrate de victory?" "I," said Aaron, "Ise goin' to dress up all in white; white coat, white vest, white pants, white shirt, white tie, white shoes, white stockin's an' white spats an' white gloves, an' den Ise goin' to call on a white gal. What's you goin' to do?" "I," said Thomas, "is a goin' to dress up all in black; black coat, black vest, black pants, black shirt, black tie, black shoes, black stockin's, black spats, black gloves an' crape an' then Ise goin' to bury you." There is a woman in the world who possesses the best husband, but nobody knows the address of the woman. No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment.

WHY NOT ELIMINATE BOTH PRIMARY AND ELECTION? “But all elections increase the cost of government. They are expensive affairs at best. Why, then, not eliminate both the primary and the election and save twice, rather than only once? Why not let the group of men who framed the unofficial con- vention at Saratoga and whose spokesman said, ‘we will decide what is best for the people and we will give it to them’—why not let this group coalesce with the group that controls the opposite party, appoint a man of their choice to act as governor, divide the legislature among themselves, and thereby save all the hubbub and fuss that attends every election, and leave the money that the election would cost, in th bank, to the credit of the state? There is as much logic in one suggestion as in the other. The fact of the matter is, that a democratic form of gov- ernment is an expensive form of government to live under and maintain. To preserve it from the inroads of those who wish to control it and who for that reason wish to turn it into an oli- garchy certain safeguards are necessary. Whether the expendi- tures necessary to provide these safeguards are or are not worth while, depends entirely upon whether a democratic government is or is not worth while. If it is not then we all might better jor- get about it, conserve the news print which is expended on it, and let those who wish to control the government control it without more ado. But if it be worth while, then we must realize that it is an expensive form of government under which to live; that it only can be maintained by expensive protective measures, and make up our minds to pay the price of this species of eternal vigilance in order to maintain it.”—J. B. W. Gardiner, in the February Forum. “Those who hope for a drastic reduction in government ex- pense and taxes, are doomed to disappointment. Labor is organ- izing to bring pressure to maintain its grip on wages and the extension of Union power. Government operated plants will come into disfavor and labor's efforts in that direction will fail. Huge financial problems of revenue face the Harding administra- tion. Deficits are already staring the treasury in the face. Great Britain will “mix in” deeply in question of trade, war obligations and foreign exchange. She is preparing a campaign of diplo- matie pressure to stabilize our financial relations and take care of her obligations on some basis by which she will not suffer so keenly as under the present conditions. Presumably the govern- ment will not favor the housing crisis bills, nor other “paternal- istic” questions. In fact, the new administration will mind its own business and devote itself to its functional and constitutional problems. In the meantime the people must stand by and wait.” —February Forum. TWO ESSENTIALS OF PROSPERITY “It is important that we keep in mind, in all that we say and do in the period of the world’s reconstruction, those two essentials of real prosperity, thrift and production. Without these thoroughly inculcated into the American people, America’s future as a creditor nation will not be at all as secure as we would have it. The success of the corporation is based upon these two essentials; upon thrift, in order that a part of the savings of the American people may be used to finance foreign trade and thus sustain prosperity; and production, in order that America may spare the means of supplying foreign markets without subjecting the people to increased prices for their own needs. “This plan does not suggest inflation. Of that we have had enough. Nor does it suggest the absorption of existing credit. What it does suggest is the setting aside, through the exercise of sane economy, of a reasonable percentage of America’s great annual production of wealth, estimated at $70,000,000,000. It suggests the investment of that reasonable percentage in securi- ties growing out of foreign trade.”—John McHugh, in the Febru- ary Forum. A Japanese journalist and member of the House of Peers, writing in the February Forum, says: “It is foolish, therefore, to suppose that we should go out of our way to make her (the United States) an enemy, an act that would unquestionably endanger the progress of Japan's development. ‘No Japanese, with a drop of patriotic blood in his PAGE TWO WHAT FACES HARDING DOES JAPAN WANT WAR?

In most every field of endeavor his demonstrations of ability and fitness have had to be on a racial basis. He has had no other choice.

He wrote: "The mere physical fact of Niagara falls is a very small part of the world's wonder. Its power to excite reflection and emotion is its great charm."

Uncle Walt's Story Walt Mason VARIETIES OF COURAGE "KERSMITH is an awful coward." said the retired merchant. "He hasn't as much spunk as a chipmunk. This morning I saw a man half his size twist his nose, and he never offered to defend himself. He trembled all over and was covered with a cold sweat." PETER H. "And yet, under other circumstances, Kersmith might show all kinds of courage." said the hotel-keeper. "It isn't safe to jump to conclusions about such things. A woman will climb a tree, and shriek for the police if she sees a mouse, and if a real peril comes along, she'll exhibit more courage in five minutes than the average man could dig up in a hundred years. "There are scores of different kinds of courage in this world, and you can't expect one man to have them all. A man may tremble and cringe when threatened with physical violence, and yet stand up serene and magnificent when the assessor comes to the door, and there's nothing finer than that sort of moral courage. "There used to be a blacksmith in this town who had a wide reputation as a fire eater. He wasn't afraid of anything, people said. If he heard of a promising bruiser anywhere in the countryside, he couldn't rest until he had mixed things with him. And he didn't ask for purses or other inducements. He engaged in combat just because he loved it, and was happiest when his nose was knocked to one side, and his eyes were bunged up so that he couldn't see whether he was going or coming. He acted the hero on several occasions, rescuing people from burning buildings, and saving gents who were 'drowning and his nerve became a byword. "Well, in the fullness of time his teeth went wrong and his head swelled up until it looked like a squash. He bought about a million things at the drug store, and they wouldn't relieve the pain. The doctor told him he could have his sufferings ended in five minutes by going to the dentist's, but that idea turned him faint. At last he had to go, and the dentist told me he never saw such a doggone coward. That invincible blacksmith just had to be lifted into the operating chair, and as often as he could get his breath, he velled. "The dentist's chair takes the starch out of many a brave man. I used to have to frequent it a good deal before I bought these hand-made tortoiseshell teeth, and I saw some moving sights when I was seated in the waiting room. Women would come in there as calm and cool as though they had just stepped in for a dish of ice cream. I have seen a girl graduate sit chatting comfortably until her turn came, and then she'd step into the chamber of horrors without turning a hair; and then some big policeman, who'd think nothing of fighting a revolver duel in the dark with a burglar, would come into the waiting room as limp as a dishrag, sweating ice tea and groaning every time he drew a breath. "A man might easily get a lot of false ideas about courage in the dentist's waiting room. "That man Kersmith, who stood and permitted a smaller man to twist his nose, has a sort of courage I'd give a lot to own. I've always wished I could make public speeches. I've a lot of pent-up eloquence inside of me that ought to be turned loose for the edification and instruction of the people. But every time I'm called upon for a few timely remarks, I'm scared stiff, and can't say a blamed word. I just gurgle and splutter like a sunstruck lunatic, and hate myself for three weeks after it. "But when Kersmith is called, he rises without a tremor, and smiles sweetly upon the audience, and goes ahead saying what he has to say as though in his own arm chair by his fire-side. I'd be willing to have my nose and ears twisted several times to have his courage."

CLARK, Manager Phone 1551 THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING PREPARING TO PLAY BALL HARRIS & EWING A Winter Noisy With Debates Wil Soon Yield to the Springtime Music of Crashing Bats on By W. O. McGEEHAN (In the American Legion Weekly.) Baseball in winter quarters has been a trifle more morose and moody than usual. The shadow of the world's series scandal of 1819 left considerable gloom and chill. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who accepted the place of baseball dictator, has insisted upon being a real dictator, which has still further depressed the old line magnates. The winter gatherings of the magnates, which used to be mostly wassail and merriment, have this season been sober and somber. "Not a glass broken and not a chair thrown," one scout reports. It was, in fact, the first real Volstead gathering of club owners, this joint meeting at Chicago where the new national agreement was signed. It is a more or less wordy document, but the substance of it is that Judge Landis is to purify professional baseball and to keep it pure. It is admitted that the old control of the game was blind and incompetent. Judge Landis has some job on his hands because when the old line magnates have recovered from their fright at the thought of empty baseball parks, they will throw up all sorts of barbed wire entanglements in the way of the Judge. They will try to make his administration a failure and get a clamor started for the restoration of the control of baseball into the hands of "practical baseball men." This is T. Shiro, a Japanese, who has been steward of the President's yacht Mayflower for ten years. With him are his children, Josephine and Eugene. Underwater K Underwater Still another scare has been thrown into the magnates. A person by the name of Lawson started a new league, an outlaw league. With the first announcement the magnates, who recall the attempts of the Words, the Sinclairs and others to start the Federal league, turned pale. But when it was announced that Mr. Lawson would have two negro teams in his league the terror passed. That seemed to imply no serious opposition to big league baseball. While the Senegambian has made his mark in the professional boxing game, for some reason or other the great American game has not been opened up to him. Once John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, was contemplating signing a colored pitcher who might have turned out to be a second Rube Waddell, for he was a left hander. Mr. McGraw planned to pass him off as a Cuban, but he was a trifle too dark, and the idea was abandoned, though Mr. McGraw still is of the opinion that he might have won a pennant for the Giants that particular year. This carpenter of Sumatra, building the roof of a dwelling, probably is not thinking of striking for higher wages because of the increased cost of clothing. Yuan's Sons in American College But the general depression of this winter of baseball's discontent is due to pass very suddenly. On or about the first of March the teams will start flitting to the south and to the southwest, and immediately thereafter there will emanate the only sort of baseball talk that interests the readers of sporting pages. Try as the fan will, he cannot rouse much interest in what the club owners do or think—always supposing that club owners think. The meetings of the magnates are meetings of business men, and there is not much romance or glamour attached to what business men do or say. What is an item concerning the annexing of another million or so compared to the announcement that Babe Ruth has just poled one out of the park a trifle further than the last one? The four sons and grandson of Yuan Shih Kai, second president of the Chinese republic, who are receiving their first taste of American school life at Middlebury college, Middlebury, Vt., are delighted with American customs, and have entered heartily into participation in outdoor sports, skiing appealing more to them than any other sport. Let us first consider the Babe and the prospects for him in the season that is to come. The last I saw of him he was flitting south already with one of his owners. Colonel T. L. Huston, late of the 16th U. S. Engineers. He was carrying a long-barreled pump gun and was on his way to slay ducks at Dover Hall, the Georgia shooting club which is maintained by a number of baseball magnates. INTERNATIONAL The Babe spent part of his winter in Cuba and, they say, quite a part of his earnings of the last season and also such money as he might have gathered playing winter baseball in the hundred-proof island. The Babe tried to fathom the eccentricities of the horses and did not succeed. Abandoning the bat for the dope sheet, he struck out, for no simple, hit-them-out batter can fathom the curves of the race track. The first and foremost problem for the season to come is, how many home runs will the Babe pole out this year? Last season it was fifty-four, shattering all records, official and unofficial. Will he raise it closer to a hundred this year, or will he be go back? The Babe's unannounced ambition is to make it a straight hundred. He thinks it can be done. At any rate he was starting out to try for the hundred, for the expedition to Dover Hall was by way of opening his spring training. Last year the Babe got down to serious training rather late in the season and did not hit the home-run streak right at the start. In fact, he was so late in starting to make the fences seem short that the I-kold-you-so brigade SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921 were laughing at Colonels Ruppert and Houston of the Yankees because they paid $150,000 for him. The Babe is one of those youngsters who runs to fat. If he does not keep active physically all the time he picks up weight rapidly, and no fat man ever will hit a hundred home runs in a season. So the early start of the Babe for the south is a sign that he will get an early start. All this talk of Babe Ruth is connection with the coming season is because Babe Ruth is something like seventy-five per cent of baseball. He will continue to be this while he continues to bust them over the fences. Nobody can deny that the achievement of the Babe last season created more talk and drew more money than the pennant races and the world's series. While there have been few trades this winter and few purchases of players, there have been many changes in the managers of the big league teams. The temperamental Ty Cobb will manage the Detroit Tigers; Wild Bill Donovan, former manager of the Yankees, will manage the Philadelphia Nationals; Fred Mitchell, former manager of the Cubs, will run the Boston Braves; Hughey Jennings will act as field manager of the Giants; Hugh Duffy will manage the Red Sox and Johnny Evers of the K. of C. overseas, and the stormy petrel of baseball, will manage the Chicago Cubs. This should mean shake-ups and changes of strategy in the teams concerned. The experiment of placing Cobb in charge of the Detroit Tigers is one that will be watched with interest. The Georgia Peach is a marvelous baseball player but a hot-tempered person. Also, when he was a player he refused to report to the training camp until he got ready. This year Captain Tyrus Raymond Cobb will have to lead his own company south. On one basis of figuring this ought to fatten Cobb's batting average. The later he starts for the training camp, the later he begins to hit his real batting stride. He was very late last season. Starting out with the rest of the team, it would seem that Cobb should break all of his records this season. The pennant winners of last year have been breathing defiance all winter. Wilbert Robinson of Brooklyn, who won the National league pennant, is certain that he can put a few patches in his machine and win again. Tris Speaker of the Cleveland Indians, world's champions, also is highly optimistic. It is premature to start measuring teams for pennants, but the chances of both the New York teams look fairly bright just before the curtain is raised. The Yanks are banking on Ruth to break his record, and they have made several pretty good deals. The New York Giants would look like a cinch in the National league if they had put through the deal for Roger Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals. To show that the price of baseball players has gone up, the Giants offered $300,000 for Hornsby, which is just twice the price the Yankees paid for Ruth. This is the biggest offer made yet, and it is all the more remarkable when one considers that, while Hornsby is a valuable baseball player, he is not a Babe Ruth. He is a great infielder, though, and maybe the Giants will get him yet. There was a time when $300,000 would have bought an entire big league team with the franchise thrown in, but baseball stock has gone up, and there seems to be no reason to believe that it will come down in a hurry.
