REV. WM. SOLLY WILL PREACH SUNDAY AT THE C. M. E. CHURCH
Sunday was a great day at the local C. M. E. church and the Epworth League meeting in the evening was the feature attraction. A splendid program was rendered, appropriate to the occasion and all numbers were good. Never has Mother's Day been more fittingly observed by any congregation in Phoenix and all present were well pleased with the program.
At the close of the league services the Rev. Major Jones preached an able sermon to a packed house and his remarks were well received. Rev. Jones is a powerful pulpit orator and his sermon Sunday night was a masterpiece.
Next Sunday, May 1, the Rev. Wm. Solly, will deliver the sermon at the morning services and all Phoenix is invited to come and hear him. Rev. Solly is an experienced minister and one whom all will delight to hear.
Sunday evening, the Epworth League again will hold forth at 6:30 o'clock, when the subject: "What the Epworth League Does For Me." will be discussed. This will be anniversary day for the Epwort League throughout the United States, and after the lesson subject has been discussed, a short program will be rendered. If you would enjoy a pleasant hour, attend the meeting of the League Sunday.
MODERN DANCE SAID TO BE DANGEROUS
(Special To The Tribune)
Cincinnati, Ohio, May 18—Detectives Hayes and Bullerdick are searching for a colored woman who robbed Charles Harris, 55, Lima, of $1,320 in the house at 560 Carlisle avenue.
Harris reported to Sergeant Wehking that while passing the house he was called in by a Negro woman who said she wanted to show him something.
When Harris entered, he said the woman seized him by the neck and began to dance with him. Then she suddenly let him go and darted from the room. Harris, reaching the open air, felt for his absent purse.
Dancing has always been more or less dangerous. John the Baptist "got it in the neck" just because Salome danced so bewitchingly. It is safe to say that Mr. Charles Harris will not soon dance with any other colored woman living on Carlisle avenue.
BISHOPS OF M. E. CHURCH
SOUTH, URGE HELP FOR RACE
IN QUADRENNIAL ADDRESS
Opposed to Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
(Preston News Service)
Hot Springs, Ark., May 18.—A part of the address of the bench of bishops to the 19th quadrennial session of the M. E. Church, South, was devoted to the relations of the white and colored races, and urged Methodist people everywhere to do everything possible for the education and uplifting of Negroes and to see that they had complete justice and protection in the exercises of their lawful rights. The bishops opposed the legislation now pending in congress which would bring lynching within the province of the federal government. They declared, "it is hoped that the states will continue to legislate against the shameful crime of lynching."
CONDEMN KU KLU KLAN
Dallas, Tex., May 18.—A mass meeting was held Monday night by white citizens condemning the Ku Klux Klan and similar organizations in Dallas county. Among the speakers who denounced the klan as un-American and infamous were: Judge W. L. Crawford, G. C. Smithdeal, Rev. C. O. Shugart and Dr. J. B. Cranfield. These men claim that a vigorous campaign of education will be conducted to show the people how pernicious and nefarious the masked villains are and what an orgy of crime against civilization such organizations make possible to stain the fair name of any community.
VIRGINIANS LOCK CHURCH DOORS ON A. M. E. MINISTER
(Special to The Tribune)
Winchester, Va., May 18.—Determined they did not want Rev. J. H. Hawkins to serve them any longer as pastor, the trustees of St. Paul A. M. E. church, of this city, locked the church doors, and in addition nailed and boarded them up when the minister was returned to the pastorate by Bishop Johnson at the close of the annual conference held in Roanoke.
During the past year there has been much dissension in the congregation and the Rev. Hawkins has become unpopular with trustees, stewards and members of the church. The pastor had deposed certain officials of the church, among them Mrs. Lucy Parker treasurer, and had installed others in their places. Mrs. Parker declined to turn over the funds, and this added to the complications. Steps are being taken to restore harmony in the congregation.

However, there are no signs posted on the property against trespassing and upon the admission by Bailey that he had fired at the men, he was held for court by Magistrate Gallagher.
WONDERS NEVER CEASE
(Preston News Service)
Louisville, Ky., May 18.—It was indeed a miracle, according to physicians, that saved the life of Peter Haskell from being tried for murder instead of shooting and wounding, in criminal court here last Thursday.
A bullet fired by Haskell passed through the head of John Hunter, last November, entering on the left side and emerging at about the same location on the right side. Hunter recovered and was one of the witnesses at the trial. Haskell was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.

FIRST COLORED MAN TO GRADUATE FROM HARVARD IS DEAD
FIRST COLORED MAN TO GRADUATE FROM HARVARD IS DEAD
(Special To The Tribune)
Chicago, Ill., May 18.—Prof. Richard Theodore Greener, teacher, poet, statesman, lecturer, writer and the first colored graduate of Harvard, is dead.
He passed beyond Tuesday at his home here, of complications due to his advanced age.
Few Americans have had a more interesting, varied or useful career than Richard Greener. Born in Philadelphia in 1844 of free parents, he had a home environment and educational opportunities far out of the ordinary in those days of slavery. Shortly after the close of the civil war he was advanced to Phillips-Exeter Academy, the famous prep school, and after graduating there he entered Harvard, the first Negro to matriculate at that institution. The event was so unusual as to be chronicled all over the country. In, and in touch with Cambridge during those days were Charles Sumner, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Oliver Wendwell Holmes, Longfellow, Emmerson and Lowell. Mr. Greener, who took a keen interest in life and young people until his death, frequently remarked as they gathered about him, on the inspiration which these men gave to his life.

Mrs. Lindsey, of Phoenix, spent several weeks in attendance at the bedside of her son at Whipple. She was called hurriedly to Prescott on account of the sudden change of her son's condition accompanied by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lindsey. One or two nights after their arrival the son passed away and her daughter-in-law returned to Phoenix. The following day the mother returned accompanying the body. Many of the Prescott folks were very kind to Mr. Lindsey while in the hospital, and showed kindness to Mrs. Lindsey and daughter in their hours of bereavement.

BIG CASH PRIZES TO BE GIVEN AWAY BY PHOENIX TRIBUNE
The Phoenix Tribune this week presents a cleverly worked out word picture game for the edification of its readers. To add zest to the game, we are offering the cash prizes listed under the picture.
There is no game of chance about this picture puzzle. It is a test of good eye and quick wits. And the beatuy about it is that the fellow with a lot of book learning doesn't stand any more show than the fellow with only a practical education in the school of "hard knocks." The former may know, in an abstract way, the existence of many things; but the latter knows a "bullhead" when he sees it. So there you are.
At any rate when they get through with the puzzle they will both have increased their vocabulary and their knowledge "b." From an educational standpoint they will be ahead. From a financial standpoint they are not losers even if they should win on prize. They ought all have The Tribune anyway. Incidentally, The Tribune ought to get quite a number of new subscribers this way—also a very desirable result of the game. Try your skill. Every member of the family can play and all have an equal chance to win. It's great sport. Get in the game.
introduced, who spoke briefly on the race's progress and laying great stress on the necessity of analyzing the address to be delivered by Prof. McKinney. Mr. Tillman's talk was spicy and short, urging the race to get together and encouraging race improvement. The president, Mr. D. J. Todd, was then introduced and spoke at length, explaining what the U. N. I. A. stands for. He stated that he was deeply grieved that such few of a great number are taking a hand in the work, and that he had the public's interest at heart. He also stated that he has lived as a gentleman and insisted on more taking hold to assist in pushing the work to a higher plane of success. He exclaimed, "catch hold of the rope and pull that this movement may be a glowing success."
More than 80 have enrolled with this movement, forty of whom are financial. A collection was then taken for expense of hall and to aid the inspector general on his way to the next division. The orchestra, Mrs Paul Corner, pianist; Mr. Bell, saxophone; Mr. Robert Jordan, violinist rendered two beautiful selections. $10.30 were taken up over the table. Prof. W. A. McKinney was then introduced who spoke for over two hours on education, the condition of the Negro, the organization, its aims and strength and the redemption of Africa movement, but a get together said was: "This is not a back to Africa movement, but a get together movement. Too long we have been divided with hatred and jealous feeling." At this interval he told a story of many of the Christian folk that pray this prayer: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' and the next day they are around in the community raising the devil."
He spoke of the honesty practiced in Africa, and stated that often the merchants or ranch owners leave their products and merchandise with prices marked on them, near which they have a cash register. The native rings his money in the cash register and takes the amount of products or merchandise he has thus paid for. He then asked the question, how many in the United States would be ready for Africa? He spoke of the fishing and hunting and of the preparedness along military lines, of Abyssinia and Morocco. He said there are 400 divisions in Africa. He also spoke of the many divisions in all parts of the world. "The only salvation for the Negro is to get together, have one belief, one God, one aim and one destiny. He said that it is jealousy that is crushing the race. He said the organization was growing in leaps and bounds and that the present membership has reached the astounding figure of 7,000,000 members; and the officials are making a big membership drive and by the time the great meeting convenes in August in New York, they expect to have 10,000,000 members. He also touched on the fact that our Negro

The Democrats of Arizona in convention assembled at Tucson this week, condemned the Ku Klux Klan. They are to be commended for the stand they have taken on this matter. We believe that praise should be given to whom praise is due. So far, so good. What next?

We will accept political advertising from either party at our regular advertising rates, but our editorial expression is not for sale at any price. Sealah.

GOOD WILL—AN ASSET
a story about a man who went to tho borrow some money. Mr. Morga could spare only a few minutes, and
There is a story about a man who went to the late J. Pierpont Morgan to borrow some money. Mr. Morgan in the press of business, could spare only a few minutes, and he took those minutes in walking with his visitor along Wall Street, the short block from Broadway to Broad Street. As they were parting the man said: "Now, Mr. Morgan, about that money—" "You've got it," interrupted the banker. The other's face showed his surprise and bewilderment. "You've got it," repeated Mr. Morgan. "A hundred people saw you walking down the street with me just now. Your credit is good on Wall street. You can borrow the money anywhere you go."
A little exaggerated, perhaps, but it hammers home the point. Mr. Morgan had good-will to burn. He had so much that it was potent enough to carry over and bless even the man lucky enough to be seen walking or talking with the great banker.
Good-will is a curious thing. It's like the sparkle in champagne—intangible, not one of the originally mixed elements, yet so essential that without it a man's best efforts are pretty flat and profitless. Unlike the bubble in champagne, though, good-will is a measurable and very real thing. It is not a mere group of words. Look it up in your encyclopedia. Perhaps to your surprise you will find it there, and down at the end of the paragraph about it, you will discover that it is a sufficiently real property to be subject to tax. For good-will is property, the same as your overcoat and your pipe are property.
And it is not merely a business term. It applies to each and everyone of us, whether we are shopkeepers, philosophers, or tennis players. It applies to us as human beings in our relations with the human beings around us. It's got something of the nature of the grease that is put on the ways, when a ship is being launched—without it the launching would be a grisly failure. And without good-will any project that you want to launch or any relations you have with other people will be the same kind of a failure.
It's a universal requisite. As a matter of strict accuracy, a man can't even persuade a girl to take up the business of life under his roof unless she harbors a fair amount of good-will towards him.
Why was Mr. Morgan's good-will so great that his friends could trade on it? Because he was rich? Not at all. Silas Marner was rich, comparatively, but his friends were counted on the fingers of a crippled man's crippled hand. Louis XVI. was rich, but gentlemen in peasants' garb took him to the scaffold and removed his head. That's not good-will.
Because he was powerful? Mr. Volstead seems to wield a fair amount of power, but you don't hear so many people singing their good-will towards him. As a matter of fact, power in itself is more often a cause of distrust and dread than of this other quality. Because he had succeeded? Partly, but not altogether that. Is it not because Mr. Morgan had so wrought that people admired him, had confidence in his integrity, and trusted his word? He was able to tell his visitor that money could be borrowed on the strength of that walk of only a few yards, because people in general appreciated his reliability and soundness. He was solid. You could in more than one way bank on him. He might have been rich, he might have been powerful, he might have been preeminently successful, but he might have achieved all that by such methods that no one would have dealt with him under any circumstances.
Some twenty or more centuries ago, an ancient philosopher made a remark that comes closer to the bullseye than any subsequent attempt. He was passing the time in meditation, and solioquy, and he asked himself what kind of men were the lucky ones. He answered himself, "He who giveth his word, and disappointeth not, even though it was to his own hurt." All the orators in all creation can talk till their lips are blue, but they can't say more than that. For you will discover that good-will does not merely mean the prompt payment of an I. O. U., but a lasting and continuous honesty and reliability.—Ex.

seded by a fit of rage that was terrible to behold.
"Step lively, you blasted scum of the seas," he bawled to the mate, and the crew gathered around the gun. "Lug up a case of ammunition and we'll shell that bush until even a parrot won't be left alive in it."
"Aye, aye, sir," responded the crew to a man, and sprang to their task. "Tm an old navy gunner," said the first mate quietly. "T'll handle the a hurried conversation their conference, a called over and gifts. Tahn-Tabu h club and Mr. Gibney, ing that this was titioner, bowed his head the blow.

"Kill 'em all," raved McGuffey, "kill all the blasted niggers."
When Mr. Gibney fell under the impact of the earthenware pot he was only partially stunned. As he tried to struggle to his feet half a dozen hands were laid on him and in a trice he was lifted and carried back of the wari to a clear space where a dozen heavy teakwood posts stood in a row about four feet apart. Mr. Gibney was quickly stripped of his clothing and bound hand and foot to one of these posts. Three minutes later another delegation of cannibals arrived, bearing the limp, naked body of Captain Scraggs, whom they bound in similar fashion to the post beside Mr. Gibney. Scraggs was very white and bloody, but conscious, and his pale-blue eyes were flickering like a snake's.
"What's—what's—the meanin' of this, Gib?" he gasped.
"It means," replied the commodore, "that it's all off but the shouting with me and you, Scraggsy. This fellow Tabu-Tabu is a d—d traitor, and his people are still cannibals. He's the decoy to get white men ashore. They schemed to treat us nice and be friendly until they could get the whole crew ashore, or enough of them to leave the ship helpless, and then—O Gawd, Scraggsy, old man, can you ever forgive me for gettin' you into this?" Captain Scraggs hung his head and quivered like a hooked fish. "Will they—eat—us?" he quavered, finally. Mr. Gibney did not answer, only Captain Scraggs looked into his horrified eyes and read the verdict. "Die game, Scraggsy," was all Mr. Gibney could say. "Don't show the white feather."
"Dye think McGuffey could hear us from here if we was to yell for help?" inquired Captain Scraggs hopefully.
"Don't yelp, for Gawd's sake," implored Mr. Gibney. "We got ourselves into this, so let's pay the fiddler ourselves. If we let our one yip and McGuffey hears it, he'll come ashore with his crew and tackle this outfit, even if he knows he'll get killed. And that's just what will happen to him if he comes. Let poor Mac stay aboard. When we don't come back, he'll know it's all off, and if he has time to think over it he'll realize it would be foolish to try to do anything. But right now Mac's mad as a wet hen, and if we holler for help—Scraggsy, please don't holler. Die game."
Captain Scraggs turned his terrified glance on Mr. Gibney's tortured face. Scraggs was certainly a coward at heart, but there was something in Mr. Gibney's unselfishness that touched a spot in his hard nature—a something he never knew he possessed. He bowed his head and two big tears stole down his weatherbeaten face.
"God bless you, Gib, my dear boy," he said brokenly. "You're a man."
At this juncture the king came up and thoughtfully felt of Captain Scraggs in the short ribs, while Tabu-Tabu calculated the precise amount of luscious tissue on Mr. Gibney's well-upholstered frame.
"Bimeye we eat white man," said Tabu-Tabu cheerfully.
"If you eat me, you bloody-handed beggar," snapped Captain Scraggs, "Till plizen you. Ive chawed tobacco all my life, and my meat's as bitter as wormwood."
It was too funny to hear Scraggs jesting with death. Mr. Gibney forgot his own mental agony and roared with laughter in Tabu-Tabu's face. The cannibal stood off a few feet and looked searchingly in the commodore's eyes. He was not used to the brand of white man who could laugh under such circumstances, and he suspected treachery of some kind. He hurried over to join the king and the two held
a hurried conversation. As a result of their conference, a huge savage was called over and given some instructions. Tabu-Tabu handed him a war club and Mr. Gibney, rightly conjecturing that this was the official executioner, bowed his head and waited for the blow.
It came sooner than he expected. The earth seemed to rise up and smite Adelbert P. Gibney across the face. There was a roar, as of an explosion in his ears, and he fell forward on his face. He had a confused notion that when he fell the post came with him.
For nearly a minute he lay there, semi-conscious, and then something warm, dripping across his face, roused him. He moved, and found that his feet were free, though his hands were still bound to the post, which lay extended along his back. He rolled over and glanced up. Captain Scraggs was shrieking. By degrees the bells quit ringing in the commodore's ears, and this is what he heard Captain Scraggs yelling:
"Oh, you MeGuffey. Oh, you bully Irish terrier. Soak it to 'em, Mac. Kill the beggars. You've got a dozen of 'em already. Plug away, you good old hunk of Irish hacon."
Mr. Gibney was now himself once more. He struggled to his feet, and as he did, something burst ten feet away and a little fleecy cloud of smoke obscured his vision for a moment. Then he understood. McGunney had a rapid-fire gun trained on the warl, and the savages, with frightful yells, were fleeing madly from the little shells. Half a dozen of them lay dead and wounded close by.
"Hooray," yelled Mr. Gibney, and dashed at the post which held Captain Scraggs prisoner. He struck it a powerful blow with his shoulder and Scraggs and the post crashed to the ground. In an instant Mr. Gibney was on his knees, tearing at Scraggs' rope shackles with his teeth. Five minutes later, Captain Scraggs' hands were free. Then Scraggs did a like service for Gibney.
All the time the shells from the Maggie II were bursting around them every second or two, and it seemed as if they must be killed before they could make their escape.
As they tore along through the jungle path Mr. Gibney's good right eye (his left was obscured) detected
d. m.
McGuffey once more sat down on the cabin ventilator. He pointed dumbly to the beach, and there, paddling off to the Maggie II, were two naked cannibals and two naked white men in a canoe. Five minutes later they came alongside. McGuffey met them at the rail, and he smiled and licked his lower lip as the trembling monarch and his prime minister, in response to a severe application of Mr. Gibney's hands and feet, came flying over the rail. Mr. Gibney and Captain Scraggs followed.
"I'm much obliged to you, Mac," said Mr. Gibney, striving bravely to appear jaunty. "One of your first shots came between my legs and cut the rope that held me, and banged me and the post I was tied to all over the lot. A fragment of the shell appears to have taken away part of my ear, but I guess I'll recover. We're pretty well shook up, Mac, old socks, and a jolt of whisky would be in order after you've put the irons on these two cannibals."
At 6:30 o'clock of the morning of the day following the frightful experience of Commodore Gibney and Captain Scraggs with the cannibals of Kandavn, the members of the Maggie II syndicate faced each other across the breakfast table with appetites in no wise diminished by the exciting events of the preceding day.
McGuffey surveyed his 'superior officers, cursed them bitterly, and remarked, with tears of joy in his hon- NEXT ISSUE)

On departing all wished mother Barnett many happy returns and expressed the hope that she would live to round out the century mark.
DETROIT PROUD OF NEGRO TEAM
White Daily Praises Brand of Ball Played by the Detroit Stars
Detroit, Mich., May 18.—"We are glad Detroit is to be really on the map this year in baseball, not only being in the Aerican League, but represented in the National Negro Baseball League," said a leading sporting editor here today.
This city is to be represented by Teddy Blount's Detroit Stars and Mack's Park will be the local scene of battle. The first game of the league season is to be played here today with the Cuban Stars opposing the local aggregation.
Although this is the third season for the league, it is the first in which a regular schedule will be carried out and a pennant winner decided by the same methods as those employed by the major leagues. Heretofore, because some of the clubs composing the league did not nave parks, this has been impossible and the play has

Still Quite Popular
Everybody's Cafe, 138 East Madison street, is still among the most popular resorts in Phoenix. Last Sunday, Mr. Grant, the proprietor, thinking that many of his regular customers would try out the new places that had
opened, did not prepare for his usual Sunday rush, and as a consequence, was caught "napping." All of his regular customers came for their usual Sunday chicken dinner and many brought their friends with them. Mr. Grant had to resort to short orders, but this Sunday it will be different and there will be chicken enough for everybody. Mr. Grant is a West Indian and there is something about his style of cooking that wins permanent customers. His genial wife, Mrs. Grant, is experienced in this business and sees to it that everyone receives prompt and polite service. She is the embodiment of courtesy and fair treatment. Everybody's Cafe is properly named.

Sunday Banner Day
Last Sunday was a red letter day at the Kool Kitchen Kafe, corner 5th street and Jefferson. This was Mrs. Kendrick's first Sunday in charge of this establishment and she fairly outdid herself. Throngs of people poured into the place to partake of a splendid chicken dinner and they were not disappointed. Mrs. Kendricks is a cook of the old school and she features old fashioned home cooking. This style of cooking is making a bit with the peole and they are kept busy all the time. Sunday will be another great day at this establishment and Mrs. Kendricks says she is going to have a chicken dinner "Southern Style." You will have to visit the Kool Kitchen Sunday to find out what this means, it beggars description. Nuf sed.
Splendid Meeting
The meeting of the B. Y. P. U. last Sunday at the Second Baptist church was very well attended and the lesson subject interestingly discussed. The subject for discussion was: "Helping the Church.' Talks were made by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Greene, Mr. Walter Brown, Rev. Major Jones, Mr. C. C. Dotson, Mr. Percy Watts, Mr. Albert Turner and others. Some helpful suggestions were made and much interest was manifested. Next Sunday the topic for discussion is: "What the B. Y. P. U. Does for Me." Matt 25:14-30. All invited to attend the meetings.
The Rev. Dr. Niles of California is a visitor in Phoenix. He is no stranger to most of us as he was here a few years ago and delivered several sermons to the people of this city. He is en route to New Orleans, La., to attend the National Baptist Sunday School Convention. He plans to lecture at one of the colored churches before leaving the city.
Lindsey Funeral Held
The funeral of Clarence L. Lindsey who died Tuesday night, May 9, in Prescott, Arizona, was held Monday afternoon 2 o'clock from the Second Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. E. D. Greene, preached the sermon, and in it he paid a glowing tribute to the life and worth of this brilliant young man. Mrs. P. F. F. McCutcheon sang a beautiful solo as also did Mrs. I. F. Silvers. The pall bearers all were ex-service men, and with bared heads they bore the casket containing the body of their beloved comrade to the waiting hearse. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to their last resting place and interment was made in Greenwood cemetery.
Excellent Program
A splendid program was rendered Wednesday afternoon by pupils of the Ninth avenue school. Mrs. Cora M. Jones, who has charge of this school, is due much credit for the thorough manner in which she trained her children for their parts. Many of the parents and friends were present and all were pleased with the way the children acquitted themselves. Talks were made by Rev. Sanford, Rev. Woodward, Rev. Niles of California and by several ladies. After the exercises, refreshments were served. Altogether, this was one of the most successful programs ever rendered at this school.
The Hon. W. A. McKenney, Inspector General of the U. N. I. A., was in the city this week and was the guest of the local president, Mr. H. H. Rice. He visited Mesa and inspected the work and returned to Phoenix to be present at the meeting of the local division tonight at 438 East Jefferson, at which time he will make a short talk. The Hon.

WEST VIRGINIA INSTITUTE
DEFEATS RALEIGH NINE;
HOLLAND TIGHT IN PINCHES
(Preston News Service)
Raleigh, W. Va., May 18—A muff
of Lowry’s easy fly to first, coupled
with a double by Dickerson, a couple
of infield outs, and single by Captain
Harden, gave the West Virginia Col-
Jegiate Institute nine a lead which
Raleigh found impossible to overcome,
despite the supberb hurling of Jack-
son, the star pitcher for the home
team. A single by Holland in the
eighth, followed by a couple of outs
gave the institute boys just enough
to remain in the lead.
Holland, who pitched for the visit
ors, was master of the citation, keep-
ing hits well scattered and striking
out seven men. He weakened some-
what in the ninth when Raleigh found
him for two safeties, one of them a
double. These in conjunction with a
bad throw to first gave the local nine
two runs, but airtight playing stop-
ped the rally and saved the game for
the visitors. Batteries: — Institute—
Holland and Drewery; Raleigh—
Jackson and Monroe. Score 3-2.

of the bout, Tutt Jackson, the thunder-

cut loose in the fifth round, and after
battering the veteran Jack Geyer of
Columbus, all over the ring Wuring
that session, landed a sleep produc-
ing wallop on Geyer in the sixt round
here last Friday night.
Jackson seemed cautious during
the first three rounds, being content
to outbox Geyer. In fact the only
hard blows landed during these in-
nings of the debate were planted on
Jackson by his opponent. Jackson
seemed to get into his proper stride
after the third round. It seemed that
those stingers of Geyer's during the
first part of the setto got up his
fighting blood and he sent fast, hard
rights and lefts to Geyer's jaw.
Geyer was out on his feet when the
gong ended the fifth session and was
easy forJackson when the sixth
round began. The Fayette county
puncher sent Geyer from end of the
ring to the other with a left to the
jaw, but the game Columbus boxer
refused to go *2Wn, coming back and
trying to clinch. Jackson threw him
off and sent another left to the same
place which put Geyer down for the

Ney RIVAL LOOMS
UP FOR HARRY WILIS
A mighty rival for the fame and
honor of Harry Wills has been brought
to light in the person of “Tutt” Jack
son of Washington, Ohio,
This chap is around the weight of
Jack Dempsey. He tips the beam at
190 pounds, and is 21 years old. He
is six feet one inch in height and car-
ties a wallop in both hands that has
put to sleep old Sam Langford and
the ring-terrier, “Rough-house” Ware.
Jackson's fight with Ware was quite
surprising as Ware was sleeping
quietly within a very few minutes af-
ter the initial gong. It will be re-
membered that when Harry fought
the “Rough-house raiser,” the fight
went the entire scheduled route and
it was the opinion that the fighters
‘were nearly matched.
It is thought by the fight fans that
this chap will be a very big stumb
ling block in Wills’ road to a match
rth Champion Jack Dempsey and the
Reavywoight ttle but the long exper
fence and ring generalship of the
New Orleans chap may prove toc
much for the youngster. And if these
two are ever matched the kid had
better watch those hooks from Harry
or he will go the route of Fred
Fulton. i

Wi ean thc ore er Se ae ee
And now comes the report from
distant eastern centcrs that Jess
Willard, big, gawky and forty years
of age, is to meet Jack Dempsey in a
match for the heavy weight suprem-
acy.
It appears to be just another sub-
terfuge to way-lay and sidetrack the
Wilis-Dempsey special wish is racing
forward to a fight of international
proportions, with the pulse of the
Public on the throttle. Who wants
to see the big Kansas’ City dub in
action? AN that he ever had to re.
mind one of a champion is his size,
Ant Willard, himself, has admitted
that he doesn’t believe that there is
anyone who can whip Dempsey in the
ring. But he gives as his excuse that
he wants a chance to redeem himself
before the public.
Think of it! He has never been in
the good graces of the public, in the
first place, he only won one bout of
any consequence and that one was
from the wily Jack Johnson down in
sunny Cuba.
Victory Tainted By Rumors
People of the race will never forget
that battle, when the famous globe
trotter, escaping this country with
‘the long arm of the’ law reaching out
to grab him,traveled to Spain, France,
Mexico and sundry other foreign
countries before he gave himself up.
And the fact that he was traveling
so fast with the heavy weight belt
‘dangling from his side proved a thorne
in the flesh of his numerous white
enemies. So a match was finally
trumped up in Cuba.
It took willard 26 long rounds to
knock out the soggy, overweight
Johnson; and at the time, the clever
champion was nothing but a shell of
his former self. Johnson had just
come through a wild period in which,
it is reported, wine, women and song
played no small part. Be that as it
may, Willard finally won and the
American sporting public went crazy.
But when unsavory rumors of a fixed
match began trickling back to this
country the gullible public, as quick
to “razz” as to praise, demanded that
Willard show some more action. He
complied. The result was a quick
knock out by Dempsey at Toledo.
Dempsey was fighting everyone un-
til _he won the belt. Then he snd-
denly went into his shell and with
‘his ‘manager, the two Jacks formed
a perfect relay team, and they are
‘the men with certain promoters who
want to re-match Jack and Jess. The
‘bout won't draw a corporal's guard.
Wills May Not Go Abroad
Harry Wills, so the rumor goes,
will not go abroad for the simple reas-
on that he has heard from reliable
sources that the Utah mauler is to
return to this country soon, possibly.
“May 20th.
_ However, the Brown Panther from
‘New Orleans and New York, relent-
less in his pursuit for a chance at the
title, will not be denied. It is claim-
ed he will hound Dempsey until the
later is forced to meet him. Wills
made the startling announcement last
week that he would meet Lewis, Car
pentier and Beckett in one ring, all
in the same night and dispose of
each one within four rounds. All of
which goes to show that Wills really
‘means business and is going to pur-
‘sue Dempsey and finally force him,
‘through adverse public comment to

PUT JACK JOHNSON
QUT SAYS FIGHTER
St. Louis, Mo, May 18—"Jack
Johnson is remarkable for his age.
No man can be that good unless he
is a clean liver, but don’t look for
him ever to be another champion, His
wind is bad and he is carrying extra
weight that he cannot work off. When
he was right, he weighed 205; now he
weighs 230 and Father Time has
counted him out. Watch Harry Wills.
He's got ‘em and will surely whip
Dempsey if he ever gets a chance.”
‘The above Ys Battling Ball's opinion
of the exchampion, Ball accepted
the invitation to Lox with the big
fellow at the Gayety last week. He
says he did not go to see if Jack
could whip Dempsey or Wills, but tc
get some ring knowledge on “how
to win my future battles.” Ball says
“I hit hard with both hands. Wher
I hit them right, I am not surprised
when they are knocked out, but I ar:
surprised when they don’t fall. I know
Johnson is a past master of the man
ly art and I need eraftiness, so 1
[was glad to box a few rounds with
him, Boxing is my business and 1
am going to make it my business to
seo that T hit hard and correctly. This
season, boxing has been very poor
business. During the past winter I
was at Dayton, Cincinnati and Indi
anapolis. I receive maif regularly
from New York and Pittsburgh. The
tale is the same everywhere, “dead.”
I intend to stick however, until the
