Kocan, chairman of the Penn PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 13. In a letter to a Courier reporter, William H. Rocap, chairman of the State Boxing Commission, said that the ban was the direct result of a ruling of the Philadelphia Department of Public Safety. He stated that a change would be in effect after January 1921, when the present regime went out. The Citizens Republican League filed a protest with Governor Pinchot Tuesday night. sylvania state athletic commission. Charles Fred White, once member of the commission, told a Courier reporter here Tuesday that he knew nothing of the move until he read it in the newspaper. The decision of Rocap would make it appear that he has over-tapped his bounds in boxing mixed bobs. The commission was formed about two months ago, and this is the first important step they have taken. It is the consensus of opinion that Rocap has acted summarily and that his "one-mar" decision, as indicated by Havey J. Bose's statement, is against the wishes of the general public. Long before a boxing commission was even thought of, mixed bouts were the order through out the state, and no "special trouble" has ever occurred.

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 15.—Unified action, long needed, for the economic development of the Colored People of America has at last been assured by the most outstanding group of financial enterprises controlled by Negroes.

Gives Detailed Statement Dr. Alexander's statement to The Pittsburgh Courier follows: "I am giving you a statement of facts as I now have them in hand. it being impossible to give you all details because all of the agencies distributing tickets have not yet reported, but even with incomplete reports we are able to account for practically all tickets which were printed. "I am enclosing you a statement from the Globe Ticket Company, which indicates just how many tickets were ordered. There were two printings. In the first order, there were 11,700 box and reserved tickets and 4,000 grandstand seats. I was later decided to make reservations $1.50 instead of $81, as all box seats were being sold for $8.00. The next issue, as the statement shows, contained 7,170 reserved seats, only a portion of the grandstand being considered as reserved. Sections A to D not being reserved and all two back of M not being reserved. This made a total for tickets, which were to be sold as follows: Reserved seats 7,170 Box 1,432 Grandstand 4,000 All of the first issue of reserved grandstand tickets was received are they were not used before, except allows: 200 available for the University student at 100 for the members of the IU collegiad. All ticket which were unmade before the game were turned in to Mr. Shortt into Secretary of the Philadelphia National League Ball Club, include the game. There is return were checked out to the ticket sellers. This was done in the presence of Prof. Grim of Lincoln; Mr. J. Sterrett, Student Manager at Lincoln and two representatives of Howard, one of them being Mr. Lucas. I think that the presence of the representatives of both Lincoln was a sufficient guarantee that nothing crooked could be put over. Reports from ticket sellers were made to these same persons. The report shows that there were tickets representing paid admissions for 11,750 persons. If all the tickets which were printed had been sold this would leave a balance of 1252 no accounted for. I have in my office now about 500 tickets which were returned unsold by the various agencies. This then leaves a balance of 902 tickets. There were issued more than 100 passes which were at attention for reservation. This leaves a balance of approximately 800 tickets. I have not yet received reports to indicate how many unsold tickets there are.

The appeal of the Livingstone Memorial Hospital for $280,000, which will be used, to fireproof, equip and remodel the former Kingsley House, Bedford avenue and Fullerton street, for a hospital for Negroes, and also to help liquidate a mortgage, started this week and workers and team captains have gone out into all parts of the city and county getting subscriptions. The present building, which was at one time the Kingsley, House and later the Morgan Community Center, has been purchased by the Livingstone Hospital Association. The association is no other building, those at 510 Wylie avenue and at Bedford, Webster and Herron avenues have been sold and the association holds a mortgage on each of them. All efforts of the board of directors of the Livingstone Memorial Hospital are being concentrated entirely on the present campaign and as no other structures are owned by the association and as the association is interested in no other, it is hoped sincerely that our colored citizens will support L.S. present appeal in so far as they are possibly able. The structure of the association presents an ideal opportunity presents the greatest opportunity yet offered for a Class A Negro Hospital in Pittsburgh. You recognize the need for an institution of such nature in this city. Other hospitals are crowded all the time. The establishment of the Livingstone Memorial will help to alleviate this range of condition. You know the Negro physician has no place here to practice surgery, although there are many just as efficient as surgeons on the staffs of other hospitals. You also understand it is taken for granted, that our young men are denied the right to finish a medical course in Pittsburg, because there is no Negro hospital where they may take their internship course. Just remember that the white citizens of the city are in heavy approval of the project and are doing all they can in seeing that the hospital campaign goes over. Your co-operation is just as important, even more so. It will be your institution, operated by your physicians and nurses with the aid of white surgeons and their assistants. An important phase of the work in connection with the hospital is A Beauty Secret LONG FINE HAIR Thousands are successfully using the wonderful preparation that changes short, coarse hair into long, lovely, silky tresses.

The association owns more than 33,000 square feet of property at Bedford and Fullerton. The building occupies slightly more than 7,000 feet. The vacant property is to be utilized as additions to the hospital and when this expansion has been made the Negroes will have a 300-bed institution of their own. It also is planned to erect a permanent training school and home for nurses at Cliff and Fullerton streets as soon as sufficient funds have been received. Toward this end your support is earnestly solicited.

Mystery Cloaks Disappearance Of Schoolgirl KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 12.—The whole community in which Miss Ethel Wright Simmons, pretty fourteen-year-old school girl lived, is agog and wondering what has become of her since she left her home at No. 1919 Oak street, on November 20, to go look for work. Vague and dark whispers have it that she was lured away by two men, one a boothblack and the other a prominent and successful business man. Others are inclined to discount this theory on account of the girl's youth, and attribute her disappearance to the fact that she was seeking to avoid brutal and inhumane treatment from her mother, but her mother, Mrs. A. Simmons, rigidly denies even the suggestion of her mistreating her daughter. Ethel has been a pupil in the retarded grade at the Cherry school, but recently she began to work out. There is another theory affloat that the girl was tired of school and consequently embarrassed because of being in a retarded class, and this prompted her to seek work rather than continue her studies. When Miss Simmons left home she was to go to No. 621 East Thirteenth Street, where she was told there was need for a domestic. The resident there, however, said, to his knowledge, the girl had never showed up.

LOULS, Mo., Dec. 13.—Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone, heads of Poro College, returned home last week and were given a royal reception by the employees of the famous Poro College. They were in fine health and full of enthusiasm over observations on their western trip, and especially progress made by Poro agents. A kindly welcome was extended by the friends and employees of Poro College. A source of joy came to Mr. and Mrs. Malone when they were ushered into the assembly hall and a splendid program rendered by the Choral Society and orchestra. The splendid work done by the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harris was highly pleasing to the Malones, and the heads of Poro College see great possibilities for this musical organization. Among the guests during their homecoming were Bänker and Mrs. Jessie Binga, Chicago, Ill. This was the first visit of Mr. and Mrs. Binga to Poro College and they were elated over the wonderful progress made by Mr. and Mrs. Malone, and the fine co-operation exhibited by all of their employees. Editor Franklin of the Kansas City Call, Kansas City, Mo., spent two days visiting Poro College during the home coming. Mr. and Mrs. Cary B. Lewis and Cary B. Lewis, Jr., Chicago, Ill. were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Malone and spent one week enjoying their courtesy and hospitality. The Lewis, however, were present at the dedication of the new building, the annex, and the unveiling of the beautiful painting in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Malone arrived in the city just in time to take part in the Community Chest Fund drive. Green Cab Company Gains In Popularity The Green Cab company.

Miss Porter's Dream. The school is the direct result of the desire of Jennie D. Forter to see that all children of her race should be given an education. Fourteen years ago Miss Porter found 247 children of school age who were not attending any school. She was then teaching in the Douglas school and asked the president of the board of education if a room in one of the school buildings could be used to house these children. He reluctantly consented. In commenting on the affair the Cincinnati Post says: A new schoolhouse—the Harriet Beecher Stowe public school—for Negroes was dedicated yesterday to the uplift of a down-trodden race. The principal of the school is a woman—Miss Jennie Porter—who also built it. Bricklayers erected the walls; carpenters laid the floors; stonemasons placed the stone-trimmings, but Jennie Porter built the school. She conceived it and put into it the idealism that makes schools. Many do speak of it as Jennie Porter's school. Her ideal was a school that would be a center of opportunity and culture for the people of the race, old and young. She thought the school ought to have an organ and she mortgaged her home to raise a part of the $10,000 that was needed. Jennie Porter is one of the great souls of the city. If her ideal is to flourish and bear fruit, there must be removed from the neighborhood of the school the corrupting vice that has been permitted to establish itself in the West End. Those in authority can elevate themselves half way to the stature of Jennie Porter by making an end of these vicious conditions for the sake of her ideal. Miss Porter is a graduate of Hughes High School, Cincinnati Normal School, University of Cincinnati, having received highest honors at the last named institution. Sues Railroad For $175,000 Damages Sues Railroad For $175,000 Damages PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 13—Mrs. Mary E. Baker, of this city, very recently had accepted her five-reel drama entitled "The House of Mystery," for which she received a check for $10,000. Mrs. Baker has been doing odd bits of writing for some considerable time, but has only within the last six months entered actively in the "movie game." Since last spring she has composed several songs, and just the other day since receiving her check for $10,000, she has submitted "The Lost Jewel," a thrilling play, three reels. She has finished "The Pink Slipper" and "The Ruined-Father." Mrs. Baker was born in Hazelhurst, Georgia, where she spent most of her life. She taught school there. She has been living in Philadelphia for about seven years. She has a husband and a daughter, twelve years old. Mrs. Baker is fond of reading, but is more fond of writing and before coming to this city had been actively engaged in church work, and while so engaged, wrote a number of church plays and two pageants, which she presented.

CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 13 — Mrs. Addie Hall, 4438 Indiana Ave., who was arrested in a raid on a flat at 19 E. 44th street several weeks ago, was the victim of a plot by her husband, according to the woman's lawyer, Attorney John Lupe. According to statements both by Mrs. Hall and Attorney Lupe, her husband, Cornald F. Hall, who had been ordered by Judge Ryner, of the Circuit Court, to pay Mrs. Hall a certain sum of money as temporary alimony and solicitor's fees, had sent a message, asking her to meet him at the 44th street address. According to his message to her, she was to come to the house in company with one Morris, a friend of us. Shortly after the arrival of Mrs. Hall and Morris at the house, it was raided by the police, and all occupants were arrested, charged with being inmates of a disorderly house.

Mrs. Hall declares that her arrest came as a result of a conspiracy between her husband and his friend Morris. His message to have her meet him there was ruse, she says, and the entire affair was "framed up" in an effort to make her appear the central figure in a compromising situation. This was with the intention, she believes of relieving himself of alimony payments. Evidence further showed that Hall himself had gone to the flat in question and secured the room, and that he had also notified the police of her presence there with "another man."

Dec. 18. — Rev William Lee; pastor of a far north side Baptist church, is the self-confessed slayer of his wife, according to police at Waukegan. Rev Lee, beides pastoring the church, worked at intervals, for Harry E. Littler, drainage board trustee and president of the Littler Pie Company, to perform odd chores on his country estate, Tamarack farm in Lake county, drove to Long Lake Thanksgiving day to fetch Mr. and Mrs. Littler back to the farm. "I've got to hurry back" explained Lee, in apologizing for driving so fast, "because I put a long distance call in for the sherif before I left." "What for?" asked Littler. "I killed my wife this morning before I did the chores," the preacher replied. Mrs. Littler served as a cook in the Littler home, and up to the time of the killing no inkling of the alleged trouble was known to their employers. Mrs. Littler was found shot to death. Lee drove to Waukegan and surrendered to the sheriff. He became enraged when told he would have to stand trial for murder. "I want to hang tomorrow," he said. "You needn't bother about a trial. She was unfaithful and God commanded me to kill her."

My nerves are so strong and steady that a number of younger women told me they would give anything to have nerves like mine. Then I tell them the story of this wonderful Todd's Tonic.

RICE sharp, December 30, the lodge will hold its exemplification degree meeting for the members who have joined since July. If you are one of the members that joined since then it is important that you be present at this meeting, so that you proved yourself an Elk. Now, dear brother, the lodge has now been in its home almost a year and it has made rapid progress under the able leadership of Past Exalted Ruler J. Robinson and Exalted Ruler William H. Parker, yet it would not be a success only for your support—if you attended your meetings and all affairs held by the lodge, you can say that it is only successful and by my efforts, and, on the other hand, if you have done these things you can not expect none of the honors to come to the lodge. When we entered this home there was a $9,000 mortgage on the lodge, the present trustee board, by careful management, with the support of the members, have reduced it to $2,000 and money on hand to cut it down further. If you stop and realize that the Northside Lodge depends upon you, and you only, there will be no question to it that we are the "Peerless Lodge." Come out to all the meetings that you can—you can always learn something. Hoping to see you on the above date and in compliance of the same I remain. Yours fraternally, Wm. H. Parker, Exalted Ruler.

In many instances the companies elect their officers in January, are installed in February and their reports finally filed in June and July, and even later. This does not show the proper interest on the part of the state commanders; and is sheer negligence and inattention on the part of officers selected to look after and conduct the same, why, direct communications will be the remedy and a sure cure for the evil.

CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 9.—Appomattox Club—Chicago was again the scene of the fifth annual meeting the Negra National League, which opened its sessions Wednesday morning and closed Friday night. The following club owners were in attendance: Andrew R. Foster, Chicago American Giants; John Tenny Blunt, Detroit Stars; Mrs. C. I. Taylor, Indianapolis A. B. C.; Dr. G. B. Key and Richard Kent, St. Louis Stars; Joe Rush, Birmingham Ala. Black Barons; J. L. K. Kansas City Monarchs and Seer tary Gilmore Monarchs, Visi tion to the meeting were: John T. Matthews, Dayton Marcos; Mr. Gilkerson of the Gilkerson Union Giants and others. The newspaper men attending were: Frank A. Young, Chicago Defender; A. D. Williams, Mil-West Newspaper Syndicate; Al. Munroe, Chicago Whip. Much interest was manifested by all members during the session in the matter of efficient handling of the league, and also in the making of the schedule. One of matters relative to building up all weak spots that have appeared or might appear in the operation of the league. Colored Umpires to Stay. Cloaked Umpires to Stay There is no doubt of the stability of the colored umpires of the league. They are here to stay. Some of them will last season when they are replaced by others who, in the judgment of the board of directors, might be replaced by others who are more efficient, but the fact remains that the dark umpires are to remain on the firing line. President For instructed club owners to see their players of their clubs did not enter into any violent or unnecessary arguments with the umpires, stating that this would have a tendency to intimidate the umpires and create a false impression among the fans. Mr. Blount pointed out that the umpires were courtified on their kicking on decisions of umpires that if would eventually lead the fans to think that the players had just cause to protest. Appropriate legislation was enacted to care for this situation. Black Barons Admitted. Mr. Joe Rush. Birmingham, Ala., owner of the Black Barons, made application to the league for membership and was accepted. This wails a chain in the link between the mid-west and the south that should go far in making the league the real big thing that was paramount in the minis of the men who created it. It is hoped that in the near future the Eastern section might be prevailed upon to see the futility of separation, when, as was stated, it is very poor business for three sections or factions to try to operate successfully to the advantage to all concerned. Birmingham Black Barons will place a club in the league that will without doubt take its place along with the older clubs of the circuit, and with the material already possessed by the club and that which can be secured there is no reason why the southern entry cannot prove as good an attraction as other league clubs. Increased Publicity. The publicity of the league was discussed at length and agreed by all club owners that in the future they would see that their secretaries sent in reports of all games and other matters of interest to the newspapers and the public. It was pointed out that while some of the clubs complied with this specific order during the past season some failed to respond and handicapped the league, as well as the newspapers, who were expecting this service. By increasing the scope of the publicity department of the league during the 1921 season, according to this new arrangement, no fan should be without news of the league, consisting of box scores, pitching, fielding and batting averages of all players of the league clubs and as well weekly standing of the clubs: No Trades Reported. The trading fever was at a low level and consequently no trades or sales were consummated. However, there is an indication that the trading bee will sing some of the club earners before the winter chill has blown over. It is thought that this will in the trading market is due to the fact that most of the league were pretty much on equal footing. However, indications are that the American Giants will start a club this coming season that will be considerably stronger than the one the past season. Detroit will add a third baseman, while St. Louis will probably add another infielder. In- GUARD YOUR HEALTH SANYKIT PROPHYLAGIC FOR WEB BROADCASTING After All Season Laggs Tube Kit (4) $1 Ellen W.

Eastern League Takes In Harrisburg and Washington PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.—At the annual meeting of the Eastern Mutual League in the Y. M. C. A. building here on Saturday, favorable consideration was given to the applications of two cities for membership. The Harrisburg Giants, represented by C. W. Strothers, and the Washington Potomacs, under the lead of Ben Taylor and George Robinson, were granted franchises. The league now consists of eight clubs, as follows: Washington, Harrisburg, Baltimore, Atlantic City, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and the Cuban Stars, a road team. Ed Bolden was re-elected chairman of the commission. Walks 3,000 Miles; Then Misses Game PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13. Fred Haney, Howard student of 40 years ago, who left his home in Louisiana to walk to the Howard-Lincoln game, failed to arrive on time. Haney had never missed a game in the past quarter of a century, and finding himself short of funds, started out to walk. dianapolis is satisfied to stick with the same club as represented it last season, provided satisfactory contracts. Kansas City is another club that can stay with the same lineup and still present another pennant winning contender. Pennant Awarded to Monarchs. The 1923 Negro National League pennant was awarded to Kansas City Monarchs with impressive pomp and ceremony. It is a pleasure to me and stated President Foster, the City Mayor, win the pennant in our league this year, despite the fact that my club finished behind. This in itself proves the sterling quality of the club from the west." The pennant will be raised at the Muehlback Park, Kansas city, perhaps May 3, 1924, when the league season opens. The following cities will form the circuit the coming season: Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis, Birmingham, Kansas City, Cubans and one other club which will be announced later. The league opening date has been fixed for Saturday, May 3, and the closing date as October 1. Dayton Clubs Will Meet N.N. League Teams CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 13—Special—John Matthews, Dayton, Ohio, represented the Dayton Marcos and the C. M. I. A.'s at the recent league meeting of the Negro National League held here last week and submitted applications for affiliated memberships for two Dayton clubs, the Dayton Marcos and the Cleveland Marcos. The Marcos were in the league the first season of its existence and played wonderful baseball, proving popular among the fans of the circuit, but due to situations in Dayton, it was decided to drop it as a league club. However, the Marcos, as well as Mr. Matthews, are still favorites among the fans and news of their affiliation with the league will be hailed with joy around the country. The league will send league clubs into Dayton to play these clubs on open dates and those dates these clubs will be furnished with open dates that might appear in the league schedule. SIKI-PURYEAR BOUT IN EAST IS RUMORED NEW YORK, Dec. 13—Apparently another match for Battling Siki is in the making that should pack Madison Square Garden, according to the "inside dope" current in this city last week. His talked of opponent is no other than Silent Puryear, who since he became a stable mate of Harry Wills. has been working all of the light-heavy forces for Puryear is a tough customer with a bewildering ring style. Townsend and George Godfrey may be matched on the same card. Drewery, Star W. Va. Institute Athlete, Dead Youth Taken to Hospital and Operated Upon Day After W. Va.-Wilberforce Game, Succumbs to Old Trouble. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Dec. 13. —William Drewery student and star athlete of the West Virginia College Institute died his morning at 5:40 o'clock at the Charles-Grenal Hospital. The cause of his death seems to have been a recurrence of a trouble for which he was operated on during the summer of 1921. The day after the football team, on which Drewery was a star halfback, returned from their victory at Columbus, he was taken to the General Hospital. He was operated upon that same night in an attempt to save his life. For a week he fought stubbornly against overwhelming oids, and so successfully that Saturday the physician in charge expressed hope of his survival. Sunday night, however, occurred a relapse, which resulted in his death. Drewery has for the last four years been the best all-round athlete at the East Virginia Collegiate League. For the last year he has been an outstanding player in the institute football team. He was one of the most spectacular and dashing halfbacks seen at the institute for several years. Local fans will remember in particular his long run-back of an intercepted pass against the powerful Howard University team the last time they played in Charleston. His carrying back of punts and his fearlessness in smashing the line, and his shiftiness in a broken field were responsible to a great extent for the football teams of West Virginia College Institute when they were recognized as Negro collegiate champions last year, and the best of the mid-western teams this year. Besides being an outstanding football player, Drewery was even better at both basketball and baseball. On the basketball team he was as good a forward as any he ever met in competition. For three years he won his letter with that team. The other year there was no basketball schedule at the institute. But at baseball he excelled. Here was, his own game. He caught, when he played his favorite position, he played the times almost every position. He usually called off all base-sealing when Drewery was behind the bat. His throwing was deadly. He never had passed balls. And he was a heavy and consistent hitter. Last June Drewery graduated from the secondary department of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. This year he entered the college department as a pre-medic student. He has been almost entirely self-supporting, working in the summer time around Bluefield, his home town, and continuing at some kind of work during the school year at the institute. He was only 21 years of age. The funeral will be held at the home of his father in Bluefield, W. Va. There will be present a large scort of his classmates and teammates from the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. PHILADELPHIA BRANCH, LINCOLNALUMNI, DENY RESPONSIBILITY FOR GAME CONDITIONS PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.—Following a called meeting of the local branch of the general alumni association of Lincoln University in the offices of Attorney J. Austin Norris, the following statement was made: "Public opinion has forced this body to meet and to deny publicly any participation in the arrangements for the Howard-Lincoln game. We were entirely ignored by the athletic committee, the only Philadelphia member of which is Dr. T. S. Burwell." The statement above is authorized by Dr. Charles A. Lewis. B. T.

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 13.—When I came south in the fall of 1916 to teach and coach at Morehouse College, I found in existence a loosely constructed southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, having as nominal members: Fisk, Talladega, Knoxville, Tuskegee, Clark, Morris Brown, Atlanta and Morehouse. Since that time even this more or less nebula organization has ceased to function in spirit or name, its last feeble efforts being in the form of questionnaires sent out last year by Mr. Holloway, of Talladega College. Never before has there been so many apparent needs of an Intercollegiate Athletic Association in this section of the country, as during the past season. Let me mention a few things this Association could do; that would have been of great help during the past season to contesting teams and the general public. 1. The certification and appointment of competent officials. 2. Review of decisions on technical points. 3. A definite and accurate assignment of the championship in all branches of sports. better-training in fundamentals.

Therefore, as a result of these observations and personal conference, I wish to suggest that the athletic representatives of the following schools come together and form a team. In the conference, namely Alabama State, Atlanta, Clark, Pisk, Knoxville, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Taliadega, Tennia State and Tuskegee Institute. In line with the above suggestion, my review and selection of players has been based on these teams. The Southeast considers itself fortunate in welcoming to our midst two new coaches, in Abbott of Tuskegee, and Kindle of Talladega. Both of these men brought their teams up to a high plane of efficiency this year, and finally on Thanksgiving, Mr. Abbott secured the edge as to success by defeating Talladega at Talladega 7-0.

However, all teams have been guilty of costly fumbles, and inability to hold the ball on forward passes, and when tackled in the open field. The question of champion will be the cause of much debate and four teams can boast of only one defeat—Morehouse, Fisk, Atlanta University and Tuskegee. Morehouse won six games and lost to Fisk 8-0. Fisk won three games and lost to Atlanta University 18-9. Atlanta University won six games, tied Tuskegee and lost to Morris Brown, 7-0, after Morris Brown had been defeated by Talladega and Morehouse. Tuskegee won six games, tied Atlanta University and lost to Morehouse, 6-0. Pick the winners as you will. Atlanta University was the best defensive team. Morehouse showed the best offensive and variety of attack, and with less fumbling would have presented a clean slate, as every score can be traced directly to an unfortunate fumble. Morris Brown had the best backfield shift and Talladega the best line-shift play. Tuskegee with Stevenson as a triple threat from kick formation showed the team the best form from kick formation Alabama State showed wonderful improvement and will bear watching by all in 1924.

After the election Crudup expressed his appreciation for the honor conferred upon him by his teammates. "I feel as if the Lions are going to be a real team next year," said the captain. "It is a lamentable fact that we are losing some valuable material this year, but there is plenty of fighting spirit left which is, after all, the essential thing for a good team," continued the captain. The captain-elect will have at his disposal six: varsity men besides some of this year's promissory subs. Lincoln will lose ex-Captain Johnson, Brown, Carter, Coston, Hagons, Jason and Poindexter. The new captain, a lad of Gaston, was rated as one of the most valuable ends of the past season. Though not a flash he is very consistent and the best placement kicker in Negro football. The election of Crudup met with the approval of the entire student body. He was the coach of the freshman team in its annual battle with the game he wup byup shaken hands with the under-graduates and receiving many congratulatory remarks from the alumni. Crudup is typified an inspirational leader, a versatile player and a triple threat man. He possesses a rare gift of leadership and is expected to be the most popular captain next fall.

New Clubs Are Stable NEW CITY, NEW JERSEY Regarding the new members of the Eastern Colored League it is evident to all followers of the game that neither of the clubs are active periment. Ben Tarkoff will look out for the club to be active induction to the Eastern Colored League. A prominent figure in baseball for the Washington outfielder and school of illustrious brother, C. J.

Rollo Wilcox "We interviewed" Kid Norfolk the other night in his dressing room at Mr. Gibson's New Dunbar theater. The Kid reminded us very much of President Coolidge—he had very little to say. As a taker Norfolk is a mighty finger boxer. Having felicitated Mr. Ward, which is another way of saying Norfolk, on his showing against the Singular Sehegalale, we asked whether he would soon appear in combat opposed to Gibbons, Greb and the rest. The Kid said nothing was on the boards before summer and that about February first he leaves for Europe there to fight all comers. (Our leading light-heavyweight will no doubt wish him "bum" voyage.) He professed a profound respect for Mr. Siki as a fighter, but said his boxing was "all wet," also adding the information that they will meet again next summer. He declined to be quoted on lower taxation, the bonus, insulin, the sesqui-centennial or the Howard-Lincoln adaptation of Eddie Hunter's song "We All Want to Know Where the Money's Goe!" George W. Robinson, the general proprietor of the Roadside hotel, Philadelphia, has become one of Ben Taylor's partners in the Washington Potomac baseball club. Knowing George and knowing Ben we figure that this is a mighty good combination. Santa Clara, in the Cuban League, has taken a slump and lost the league lead to Adolfo Luque's Havana club. Havana recently shung them for four out of five, thanks to the excellent work of our friends Thomas, Lloyd, Eggleston and Ryan. We hope for his own good, that Monsieur Linares, owner of the Santa Clara team will read this and ponder. All teams in the league except Santa Clara are on the "go-plan. That is briefly, the players share in the net proceeds and pay their own expenses. Their "cut" was determined before the start of the season. To date they have been pulling down over $600.00 a month each. Santa Clara players are paid $125.00 monthly and expenses. This statement we can prove by a letter from Linares to a ball player here in the East. Now it is hardly likely that Marcelie, Charleston, Warfield, Brown, Holland, Duncan and the rest are in ignorance of this difference in salary between what they get and what the "co-plan" players share. That's enough to make anyone lose his enthusiasm, isn't it? John Arthur Johnson, who put Galveston, Texas, on the map, was in our midst last week. Jack and his golden smile were the guests of Jimmie Dougherty, baron of Leiperville, Dougherty has a stable full of near-fighters, future champs and plain mutts. In one of these classes are George Godfrey, Alex Hart and Bobby Barrett. Alex and Bobby are not gentlemen of color. Old Bobby Dobbs is the camp trainer. While here Jack applied for a boxer's license in Pennsylvania but was turned down by the commission on the score that he is too old but they decided to give him a trainer's permit instead. There is a big story back of Dougherty and Godfrey but we can't print it—just yet. To name George's real connections here would cause one of the biggest sensations in ring history. Ferdie Accobel, beloved memory to St. C., Incorporator and Carlton "Y" fans, has introduced a new basketball team to New York devotees of the game, the Grand Central Red Capa. In their initial game they handed Louis Garcia's New Rochelle Orientals a sweet licking 83-19. "Fats" Jenkins was supposed to play with his brother knights of the bundles and bags, but Garecia said nay. The Eminent Clarence is not averse to making an extra nickel to rattle against the ones he receives from the MacMahons, but this time there was nothing doing. They say that we doctors of medicine and pharmacy bury our mistakes, but the Folly of 1923 refuses to be put into the cold, cold ground there to rot and resolve itself to dust, to become one with the elements. This particular something rotten in Denmark stinks to high Heaven. Of the latter, the inefficient handling of the Howard-Lincoln crowd in Philly on Thanksgiving night. It is easy enough now to look back and see where the mistakes were, but why they could not be seen before passes all understanding. To begin with, but two ticket agencies were established in Philadelphia when at least a dozen should have been in operation. One important location was passed up because the committee would not pay the standard percentage fee for selling tickets. It is alleged that two weeks before the game all dollar scats were called in and the price raised to $1.50. At all big college games students are drafted to serve as ticket-sellers, turnstile operators and ushers. At the Phillies' park white employees acted in the two last capacities. Graduate managers look after the BUSINESS end of the game. Graduate manager Alexander was on the field with the team and not in the box office. It is charged that park employees and policemen opened emergency gates and allowed persons to enter at one dollar each and pocketed the money. The writer knows of one party of nine and another party of five who entered the park and still have their tickets! Many persons passed the ticket-takers without surrendering their pasteboards and then turned and SOLD THEIR TICKETS to persons on the other side of the barrier! Parties with reserved and box seats could not occupy them because they had been pre-empted by others and the ushers and police in most cases made no effort to remove the intruders. Spectators were permitted to crowd the sidelines and playing field, there to interfere with newspapermen and players, when there were plenty of seats in the stands. With such conditions obtaining is it any wonder that but 11,000 paid admissions were recorded from a crowd which bordered on 20,000? Twenty thousand is a liberal estimate of those present. Figures of 30,000, 35,000 and 40,000 are ridiculous. As pointed out by the writer last week the park seats but 22,000. While there is no point of dishonesty attached to the management many Philadelphia alumni of Lincoln feel that there should be a change made and the Graduate Manager's office should not be so far removed from the school. They feel that Philadelphia is the logical place for it. The writer heard many expressions of disgust from out-of-town persons who journeyed to Philadelphia to see the game and were disappointed. This so-called "classic" has become a big thing in our social life, but it is not vital to our well-being. It is not a Frankenstein; the force which made it can destroy it. That force is the PUBLIC. If a disgusted Public turns thumbs down the "classic" will be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. We grind no axes. We state facts. We speak for the Public when we say the incompetents must go! say the incompetents must go. The first breaks in the Commonwealth Blipass.

He has no more chance with Jack than Benny Leonard and that is why it would be good medicine to remove him and destroy this propaganda that a white man is afraid to meet a black man." Submitted without comment. It is doubtful if a sporting or other event ever drew a larger number of newspaper writers than assembled for the Howard-Lincoln game. From as far away as Chicago special representatives were on the field to get the game from all angles. "America's Greatest Weekly" (you're reading it!) scooped the field with 10,000 copies of a pre-zame edition dropped into Philadelphia on Wednesday morning. In addition five staff writers were on the job.

RUSSELL Johnson Turned Down By Man He Once Refused To Fight Peeping O'er The Gridiron By I. J. K. Wells CONTRAST COMPARED Sam Langford Turna Tables on Former Champ — Tell Story of Jack's Strategy. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Recently Sam Langford had a chance to turn down a challenge of former Heavy-weight Champion Jack Johnson. The challenge came after Langford had knocked out Jim Flynn in the third round at Mexico City. "How times have changed," quotte Sam, as he turned the offer down. When Johnson was champion Langford chased him all over the country with challenges and Johnson couldn't hear Langford with an ear drum. It is said that this is the only bout Johnson absolutely refused to go through with when champ. In connection with this memorable chase of Lanford's a rather amuse- The nineteenth clash between the Orange Lion and the Blue Buffalo was a scrappy affair. There were, of course, a pair of elevens on the field. The turntails, had there been any, would have registered twenty-two thousand pairs of eyes, peeping o'er the gridiron. Each player would have had one thousand fans to look at him. "Jazz" Byrd, of Lincoln, and Doneghy, of Howard, will be on the ears and tongues of a million. These two bishops of the gridiron get the heroes' share of the honors of the day. Nobody—especially the onlookers—saw the guards, tackles, ends and centers clear the way for their plunges and sweeps. When "Jazz" dashed almost the length of the gridiron, it was only after, and not before, Lancaster, Johnson, Goodman and two other lions cleared his path of Buffalo tacklers. His interference was nigh perfectly perfect. We need to give our linemen more attention. They are never seen till they slug some body on the chin, or get knocked out and have to be carried on the shoulder of two colleagues till they are able to go back to the unnoticed spot in the line again. Doneghy, while the most consistent back on the field, made his zero to nine-yard gains upon the splendid work of the Howard guards and tackles. Weights, Firstdowns and Touchdowns The two teams were almost equal in weight. Howard sent 1912 pounds of humanity into the fray. Each player on the average was 174 pounds. Lincoln's team weighed 1945 pounds, or about 177 pounds for each man. The first downs compare favorably with the weight of the two teams. Likewise the touchdowns. Lines Differed From the Backfield The Howard backfield was more of the crashing type, and hence was the more consistent. Lincoln's backs were fleet and flashy. This type of backfield depending upon speed has accounted for Lincoln touchdowns during the last three years. Only passes and outrunning Howard has scored in the Turkey battle since 1920. Howard's line was less strong than her backfield, while Lincoln was just the opposite. The Lion forwards were terrific chargers. After the first quarter they seldom gave Captain Donehya a chance to make the punt he is capable of booting. More than one was very short, while several barely passed 10 yards from scrimmage. The aggressiveness of the Quaker state line was a treat. Lancaster, Morgan and Coston, the latter actually crying in the dressing room before the game, were very troublesome, often throwing Donehya and Peyton for losses. Lancaster i unquestionably a first magnitude star. He was under every punt. His tackles were clean and firm. He is All-American material. "Bulldog" Williams shone once in great brilliance. He circled the whole ing story is told. Sam cornered Jack one evening in a Philadelphia resort. There was fire in Langford's eye and determination in his men as he demanded an immediate acceptance of his challenge. Johnson, always a master diplo-sleaves. "You give me a fight in the ring or fight me right now and here," demanded Langford, taking his coat and starting to roll up his mat and strategist, both in and out of the ring, used his head as per usual. "Just a moment, Mr. Langford," the former champ said smoothly. "I just wish to telephone my manager and have everything arranged according to Hoyle. The telephone booth is right here in the hall." Johnson slipped out and kept on slipping, and when Sam saw him six months later—but what's the use. Llion backfield as of 1920 and relieved Jazz of further progress on the line of scrimmage. Peyton was fierce in first quarter. Captain With Captain Doneghy showed up wonderfully. He can not be denied All-American halfback honors. Although he was a marked man, his plunging was markable, and fairly consistent. Captain "Whirwind" Johnson; to the surprise of many fans, rarely carried the pigskin. Had he been used just a trifle more his importance as a threat would have been more telling. His few times called back, however, were responsible for good gains. "Twas Whirwind's cup that he wasn't called to carry the ball more. Both Captains played their final C. I. A. A. game. The Finesse of Coaching Very few trick plays were tried. With two exceptions forward passes were not attempted by either Howard or Lincoln. To the surprise of those who have followed the games of the season, neither general of the contesting armies took much stock either drop-kicks or placement kick goals. Both elevers had players. Daghogh of Howard and Crudup of Lincoln, which all through the season kicked field goals at random. With thes accomplishments the game should not have been a tie. Touchdowns at Same Goal and Same Downs of Line. Howard made her touchdown in the first quarter, near the end of that period. Lincoln retaliated with a vengeance that was swift to behold. Three plays after Howard's touchdown Lincoln scored, and at the same goal in first two minutes of the second quarter. capitol city lads scored their touchdown Captain Donegny ploughed over right wing Goodman's first down on right side of the Buffalo line and Byrd's yard jab over center made Lincoln's touchdown. Both Elevens Were the Strongest in Years It seems strange to say that the classic teams were the strongest in years, Lincoln's loss to Hampton and Howard's decided triumph over the Seasiders misled many. It is not so much comparative scores as comparative firstdowns and defenses which are the more reliable test of the strength of teams. There can be no question of the greatness of the Washington aggregation, for any team which can scalp A. & T College, Morehouse, Inberforce, Hampton and then tie Lions, defeated West Virginia, has a record worth writing in its gridron log. Bad Doneghey, the big Blue back reared in the famous football town which gave the football world its Centre college, Howard's season would have been perfectly perfect. It took her 'bitterest and ancient zival to equal her. Many critics say Lincoln outplayed her. Pindle Chosen As Captain Of Hampton Team By P. Bernard Young, Jr. HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 13--After meeting the requirements with regard to the number of Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association games participated in and after showing the necessary skill in playing their various positions, the following students have been awarded their letter "H" in football at Hampton Institute: Adee C. Butler, Memphis, Tenn., guard; W. Warrick Cardozo, Washington, D. C., fullback; Theodore T. Coleman, Cumberland, Va.; taile and captain for the 1923 season; Thomas J.

Ruffin, Cauthrnville, Va., end; J. Spencer Ruffin, Cauthrnville, Va., tackle; James P. Taylor, Montgomery, Ala., tackle, and William D. Williams, Tulsa, Okla., fullback. Pludle Elected Captain Pindle Elected Captain. At a meeting held at the Hampton Institute gymnasium, the letter men of Oscar A. Pindle to lead them into the good student and a wonderful player leader. The sport writers and others who have watched Pindle play declare him the greatest center of the season. In all the games of this season his perfect passing, his aggressiveness, his splendid defensive playing, and his all-round versatility marked him as the most probable all-association selection for center. Indeed, no center this season has outplayed him. LINCOLN FRESHIES LOSE TO SOPHOMORE MILEEN, 13-7 LINGOLN UNIVERSITY, Chester County, Pa., Dec. 13.

BOXING BOUTS TO AID HARLEM CHRISTMAS FUND NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Harlomites are becoming steamed up over the Christmas fund bouts to be staged at the Commonwealth Casino on Wednesday night for the poor of this community, because the bouts are to be real ones, not exhibitions, and Harry Wills is on the same card to box a three-round exhibition with Jack Townsend, the former De Witt Clinton High School football star. SENGALEASE WRESTLER LOSES IN STRAIGHT FALLS CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 13—Reginald Siki, much heralded Senegalese wrestler from France, gave an audience of over 4,000 wrestling fans a real thrill here last week, when it took Stanislaus Zhyszko almost an hour and a half to gain a two-fall decision. The Pole took the first fall with a jack knife and head scissors hold, and took the second fall with a head lock and jack knife hold. Flowers and Robinson In Return Go Is Suggested ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 13.—With a lull in the boxing business right at the present many fans are now busy discussing possibilities for a big match to be staged on Christmas night at the auditorium. Many matches have been suggested by various followers of the game, but the one that appears to be the favorite is a return go between Tiger Flowers, Atlanta's champion, and Georgia Robinson, the Boston fighter. If promoters can be induced to put this match on Christmas no doubt the auditorium would be taxed to capacity on that night. The few followers of the game that witnessed the last bout between these two and there were only a few there because it was the smallest crowd that has ever attended a Flowers fight in quite a while, admitted that it was just about the best scrap that has been witnessed here in some time. St. Philip's Chalks Up Third Win in Row Wills-Firpo Match Sure ForNextMay NEW YORK, Dec. 13—Tex Rickard last week declined to reveal details of negotiations he has had under way for some time to match Harry Wills, heavyweight, and Luis Firpo, but indicated that some progress in arranging the bout had been made. Jersey Fighter Wins From Willie Mooney Rickard admitted receiving word from Firpo in which the latter suggested May 5 as a satisfactory date for holding the fight. The promoter, however, said he had no definite time in mind, although he said about May 1 would be desirable. Rickard apparently has definitely given up a proposal to stage the bout in the Argentine, particularly as Wills is opposed to meeting Firpo in the latter's native country. The most likely scene will be New York, but the promoter will not reveal whether he plans to build an arena, which it is suggested, might also be used later for a match between the Firpo-Wills victor and Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion. Rickard already has Firpo under contract to fight Wills, but so far Wills and his manager, Paddy Mullins, have steadfastly refused to accept the promoter's terms. Rickard, however, is confident that he will be able to adjust differences with Mullins and bring Firpo and Wills together. He was silent on Firpo's statement that he was to receive $200,000 or 40 per cent of the gate receipts for the fight.

According to rumors floating around boxing circles, Robinson is of the opinion that he could put Flowers away if the two should ever meet again. While Robinson's statement is still fresh, now comes J. Wilkinson Miller, who handles the destinies of Flowers, with a statement that he is willing to wager real money that the Tiger will take every round if a return bout should materialize. Never before in quite awhile has such interest been stimulated over a return battle as in this fight between these two boxers. With no bout between now and Christmas booked the time would be ripe for some promoter to step in and stage such an affair if Robinson can be induced to make the trip south again. BUFFALO, N.

"That brings us to the real reason for these laws," said Dixon, "the prevention of the Negro man from participation in the mixing. It's the same old case of what's mine's mine and that's yours is mine and yours, crystallized and made to function as law. A good many Southern whites, perhaps the majority, consider the comely Negro lass their legitimate prey. Under these laws Negro women have absolutely no protection, as in the case of a sixteen-year-old girl who was wronged by a Los Angeles policeman, and who under the California anti-marriage law had no redress. But in view of the great amount of mixing time and being done by the whites and the small number of marriages contracted by them, doesn't it appear a greater honor and morality on the part of the Negro that he should desire to marry and have his children born in wedlock?"

With lily wink at the senator, he added: "Each thinks it applies only to the her fellow, and gosh how sore it takes him to see the law broken." "What's more," said No. 2, "the caucasian has never been among my people, however degraded, that I did not mix with them — Hotten-tens, Bushmen, Fuegaris, Dyaks, proteses, Maoris—all. A mixture of white blood is the easiest of all get. And what is easy to get is never worth very much, is it?" "But it is only white women of the 'abandoned class'-prostitutes and others—who marry Negroes," said the senator. "That is the current belief," replied Dixon, "but it is wrong in the majority of cases. In Chicago there are hundreds of mixed couples. These couples have no less than four maternities—Manassas societies as they are called. I have been to their halls and parties and visited a good deal in their homes. These women are not a whit different from the ordinary respectable American woman, white or black. Most of them have fine, well-kept homes, well-regulated families and live as happily as the problem imposed on them will permit. "And with reference to the abandoned white women who do marry Negroes: Their reason for doing so that they find in the black man that which their own people had refused them—that lack in their lives which made outcasts of them—genine human sympathy." "Another point," persisted the senator, "we must take into account. If either parent has a drop of Negro blood be it ever so small, the child liable to be born coal black with thick lips and kinky hair." "Dr. Woods-Hutchinson," replied Dixon, "writing in the Chicago Examiner, April 10, 1916, proves this theory to be false. He backs his assertions with original investigations conducted by the Carnegie institute. This institute employed two of the most expert pedigree tracers in America for a whole year to track down this matter of reversion. They failed to find a single substantiated case." "But if the child were born black what of it," asked No. 1, "hasn't it a human soul?" He added: "In view of these two facts; First, that intermarriage is contrary neither to the laws of God nor of Nature; second that persons who have a desire for one another's society are going to meet in spite of all laws, it is clear, unless we admit our ignorance, that the sole purpose and effect of anti-marriage laws is the upholding of racial vanity, even to the detriment of morality and good citizenship." Dixon now asked to be excused, saying that he had to call a passenger for the next station.

And the passenger who had also travelled in South America engaged him in a conversation about Argentina. The talk gradually led to conditions among the Negroes of the South. Among other things the passenger said was: "I am a Southerner myself; but I am very much opposed to the South's treatment of the Negro. The South, generally speaking, badly needs an infusion of new ideas. At present it is like an ancestral mansion, whose occupants, sitting behind shuttered windows that barely admit the sunlight, are still basking in the reflecting of the dubious glory of the past. The South's pride of race is tragic. Pride of race made Spain what it is today—a nation of decayed aristocrats and illiterate, superstitious peasants. How I wish my beloved Southland, would throw open the windows of its soul and let in the rejuvenating sunlight of truth. "And the South can never rise higher than the Negro. Black and white in the South are like Siamese Twins who, while they are physiologically, distinct beings are so joined that one of the twins could not harm the other without harming himself, or benefit the other without benefiting himself." Dixon took occasion to compliment him on his broadmindedness. "Well," he went on to say, "I've found truth the only thing worth living for. But there is a hard struggle to obtain it. As a rule, we do not like to hear that which doesn't fit with our own ideas. I find that when it comes to unpleasant truths my mind shies like a horse at strange objects. By constant use of the spur, reason, however, I force my will to accustom itself to strange truths—to overcome prejudice—and so I go on finding each new truth easier to accept. "Many of our most prominent men, leaders of thought, are conspicuously-weak-kneed in this matter of color," he continued, "They dread public opinion; by a good many of my people, I am regarded as a freak or an open enemy. Some even say, that I must be a Negro. But I would-rather be anything else than a coward or one of those who take their opinions from leaders who are out to serve themselves." "The difficulty is to know the right leaders," said Dixon. "The masses pick their leaders according to their, the masses, own light. Each one picks the way in which he wishes to give up his money." "That's it. It takes money to do anything these days, I know; but if Christ is the typical leader of men how few approach Him. There is no record of Christ ever taking up a collection. Leaders are a necessity and they must be supported if they are to work at all. I make it a point, however, never to give a cent to any leader who appeals to me on any ground than justice for all, regardless of color, creed or class. No segregation.

"I shall never forget her tender care for my mother and me during the hard times after the war, and her forgiving Christian character. More than any other agency, that of my parents not excepted, she has been a power for molding me for good. My people say that the Negro is a hindrance to their progress. Yes, he is, but because of themselves. In other words, he is the prisoner; they are the jailers. No jailer is ever a free man himself.

Both men exchanged views until the announcement of luncheon. Before leaving for the dining car the passenger said: "The United States, in its treatment of the Negro, would do well to imitate the humble oyster, who, when r grit or a worm or whatever it be gets into his shell, quietly makes the irritant into a pearl. And believe me," he continued, in a voice so kindly, so full of his creed of right doing that it affected Dickson's innermost being and prevailed him with its sincerity, "no other race that I know so possesses the qualities for conversion into human pearls as the Negro—kindly sunny, faithful." That night, while Dixon was cleaning the cuspidors the senator came in with a newspaper.

Fighting Release of Infamous Film, Which Has Been Barred in France. NEW YORK, Dec. 13. — A new fight over the "Birth of a Nation" film has broken out in the State of Kansas, with Governor Davis said to be favoring the film, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People fighting to prevent its being shown in the State. During the governorship of Arthur Capper, now U. S. Senator, and a member of the Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P., pre- vented the film being shown. On December 3, the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. received the following telegram from Andrew Wilson of the Kansas City branch: "The Censor Board has released 'Birth of Nation.' Governor Davis favors same and told our committee he thought he would sign." Thereupon the N. A. A. C. P. at once wired Governor Davis as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed that Kansas State Censor Board has released "Birth of Nation" film and that you favor such release and are inclined to sign. This organization, composed of representative white and colored citizens, wishes to register with you vigorous protest again, releasing this film which has done so much to create discord and bitterness between the races. We respectfully urge that you do all in your power to prevent the showing of this film." At the same time all Kansas branches of the N. A. C.

THE HISTORY OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN The rapid recovery of Gus Barclay of 99 Clinton St., Kingston, N. Y., has again called attention to the remarkable curative effects of Neutrone Prescription "99." Here is his story: "For years I have been all crippled up with rheumatism in my arms and legs. My feet would swell so that I could not even get my shoes on. My knees became so stiff that I could hardly bend them. Every step I took was agony. I could barely hobble around. 'No one knows what I suffered until I tried Neutrone Prescription '99.' After the first week I felt better. What a relief! It seemed too good to be true. All my aches and pains have gone; no more swellings, and my joints are all limbered up—again. 'I feel myself a lucky man to be so well again after all these years. I can say that Neutrone Prescription '99' will prove a blessing to anyone suffering from this dreaded disease. Every rheumatic should take it; when relief is so sure.'
