THE BIRTH OF A NATION KICKED OUT OF BOSTON Infamous Ku Klux Klan Picture Given Black Eye When Mayor Peters And Police Commissioner Curtis Close Shubert Theatre, Prohibiting The Play. Officials Say They Are Against Any Movement That Fosters Race Prejudice. VOL. X NO. 6 THE BIRTH NATIONAL OUT OF Infamous Ku Klux Klan Pit Mayor Peters And Police Shubert Theatre, Prohib They Are Against Any I Prejudice. BOSTON, Mass., May 18.—"The Birth of a Nation," the photoplay that was the first big spectacular production of the moving picture world, was barred from Boston Monday and the license of the Shubert Theatre suspended and its doors closed last night as the result of the protests of those who claim the film is prejudicial to the Negro race. Precedent establishing was the elicit of Mayor Peters, Police Commissioner Curtis and Chief Justice Wilfred Bolster of the Municipal Court—these three comprising the board of censorship in Boston—when they ordered the license of the Shubert Theatre sus- tance of the play scheduled for last season and the house-sold out, according to the management. It was the first time in all the long history of Boston theatres that a play had ever been barred on account of racial prejudice. Those who argued that the film should be allowed to run, as it did back in 1916 in Boston, when more than 400,000 persons attended performances during eight weeks that it run at the Tremont Theatre, contended last night that the edict of the Board of Censors established a precedent that might well bar many popular plays and films from Boston playhouses. Propagandists Make Futile Pleas. They argued that other races might protest "The Merchant of Venice"; another might argue that "The Mikado" was unfavorable to them; and that still others might pick out many plays and films on which to base claims similar to those voiced against "The Birth of a Nation" yesterday by a crowd of more than 400 colored people that locked to City Hall accompanied by a few Quebecan Protestants. The brief announcement by Mayor Peters on behalf of the board said that the license of the Shubert was suspended indefinitely. And while scores, both white and colored, were obtaining their money back at the Shubert box office last night for tickets that they had purchased in advance, it was still closed all this week, that an effort will be made to secure some attraction for next Monday. The license of the theatre will be renewed as soon as the objectionable film is removed. Will Not Show Film. No further effort to show the film in Boston will be made. David Stoneman, a Boston attorney, representing the American Feature Film Exchange, which had purchased from D. W. Griffith the New England rights for the film, said last evening that "We will bow to the inevitable. The board of censorship would comment on their action last night. It was learned, however, that Mayor Peters' attitude even before the first protest on the showing of the film at the Tremont was against it, he having announced that "I am against anything that would tend to stir up racial strife or discord in the community." And a private showing of the film failed to change his attitude or that of Commissioner Curtis and Judge Bolster. Decide After Showing. The trio, with City Censor John Cohen and the director of the film at the Shubert dayafter afternoon and shortly afterward the Mayor seat for the City Hall newspaperman and made announcement of the board's decision. Judge Bolster was a member of the same board that in 1916, during the regimes of Mayor Curley and Police Commissioner O'Meara, refused to bar the film despite a similar protest. At that time it was generally understood that the attitude of the board was not unanimous and that Judge Bolster did not approve of the action of the board. Colored Folks Substant. Former Court Judge came in for a large share of court yesterday morning when colored people jammed the aldermanic chamber at City Hall, and for more than three hours argued against the film being shown. The colored people of Greater Boston were jubilant last night that they had won their fight. Dr. Matthew A. N. Shaw, president of the Boston Branch of the Equal Rights League of America, who with N. Monroe Trotter, its secretary, had had the fight against the film, termed the decision of board of censorship "a wonderful upholding of the tradition of Boston that right shall prevail." Chose the Theatre. City Censor John Caney, who is also secretary of the board of censorship, and the director of the Shubert Theatre over the telephone of the board's decision and later appeared formally as a consultant to suspend the theatre's right to open. William Monroe Trotter declared that the picture was a reflection on the Negro man and a falsification of American history. He also sounded it out in the film, "The Black Man and the White Man." The St. Louis Argus are killed as worms or killed fighting as men." **War Should Stay Ended.** J. Mott Hallowell, one of the white protestants, declared the Civil War ended 55 years ago, and should stay ended. Superintendent of Police Crowley and a detail of officers from the Language Street Station were about the theatre lobby last evening and a large crowd gathered hundreds of which came to get their money on tickets. "Mayor Peters and Commissioner Curtis were about the theatre lobby last evening and an officer in civilian clothes made frequent announcement that there would be no performance and that money would be refunded at the box office. There were many young girls in the line that marched past the box office to redeem tickets. At no time was there any sign of disorder. Creation of Board of Censors. "Birth of the nation" has had a stormy blurb. The agitation against it in Boston began with a side outside of the Treemont Theatre in 1916, during the first week of its production. Many arrests were made, and at that time strong police guards had to be maintained to prevent other disturbances that threatened. The film was modified and one scene, depleting a Negro pursuing a young white girl, was eliminated. Mass meetings were held throughout Greater Boston by the Colored people. Aid was sought from the Legislature, and after one bill had been amended to the approval of the protestors, a board of three was created to censor all theatricals. SENATE REFUSES TO CONFIRM MAN OPPOSED TO NEGRO SUFFRAGE The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25—The Senate Judiciary Committee balked at the confirmation of Frank A. Linney as United States Attorney for the Western district of North Carolina; Linney, who is a republican politician of prominence in North Carolina and state chairman, is accused of having tried to keep Negroes from voting. The Judiciary Committee at one stage of its proceedings particularly rejected Linney, but decided at the re-confirmation of North Carolina, Senate Governor of North Carolina, to the Democratic leaders, not to close the case and to give Linney a hearing. The committee was first apprised of the allegations that Linney exerted his influence and efforts against the voting of Negroes, by Bishop G. W. Clinton, a colored Bishop of North Carolina. GEORGIA OFFICIALS OPPOSING GOV. DORSEY GEORGIA OFFICIALS OPPOSING GOV. DORSEY The Associated Negro Press. ATLANTA, Ga. May 25.—If Governor Dorsey wins in his fight for better treatment of Negroes in Georgia, he must do it single-handed. He has the moral support of ministers, teachers and women's clubs, but has brought down upon himself an avalanche of criticism and abuse from other state officials and public men. Saturday, Governor-elect Thomas W. Hardwick and Sam L. Olive, president of the Georgia Senate, and—by reason of that position—second in authority to the Governor, both denounced the governor for vilification of Georgia and for anlander charges without basis of fact. The criticism was brought on by publication of a report prepared by the governor in which he listed 135 cases of alleged mistreatment, murder, lynching and peonage, with Negroes as the victims. He declared Georgia would be as severely condemned. If this condition continued as Belgium and Leopold were condemned by God and I man for the crimes of the states. A Bitter Denial. President Olive, in bitter language, denied the existence of conditions as described by the governor; declared that the only way to stop lynching was to stop rape and murder; declared that peonage did not exist generally, but said the Southern farmers were compelled to make their Negro farm hands work out on labor contracts. He said that further agitation of the public over the race problem might bring serious results, and declared that Governor Dorsey's statements had already cast Georgia farmers thousands of dollars because of the stirring up of discussion unong Negroes.

At Keytesville On Saturday night, May 21, Mr. Moore delivered an address to the graduates of the Lincoln School of which Mrs. Ruth M. Flournoy is principal. A large audience greeted the speaker who for forty-five minutes told the graduates many good and helpful things from his rich experience which will help them in their life's battles.

Mitchell, Mr. Moore visited The Country Life School and Farm at Dalton, of which Prof. N. C. Bruce is principal, the farm where he was prepared by Prof. Battier Lehman. Prof. Bruce is enthusiastic over his work, his "bobber" being back to the country life which is filling a very important place in the development of the farm life of the State. Mr. Moore was to have spoken at Huntsville in the afternoon, but was late owing to a breakdown of an auto which had to be "hauled in." **Speaks At Moberly** Monday night, May 23, Mr. Moore spoke at the M. E. Church. Moberly to an appreciative audience. The speaker was introduced by Prof. W. B. Coleman who praised the work done by Mr. Moore during the last session of the legislature. He said: "If there ever was a time in my life that I am overcome by the occasion, ladies and gentlemen, it is tonight." During his address Mr. Moore reviewed the history of the State as it affected the Negroes, and told of his work and efforts in getting the University bill through the legislature. He emphasized that the advancement along industrial lines would long way towards solving the Race problem and says he will never be satisfied until trenching is removed from this land and the State is made safe for all citizens. He said in part: "I am happy to be here with the good people of Moberly I feel that every one of you are interested in the same thing in which I am interested. You, like I, are interested in Negro representation in all governmental affairs both in State and National affairs. It is an important part in the history of the nation, so far as my race is concerned. You will remember the famous Dread Scott decision and how it affected the Negroes', rights. The Missouri Compromise, as you know was on the Negro question. But, my friends, today, things have wonderfully changed, the Negro's year later, you are permitted to vote, and a of the law-making body of this same State. "Let me say just here, that the 6th Missouri Legislative District is by no means all Colored people. It is composed of the best blood of both white and black in St. Louis, yes in the world. There are more whites than blacks in the district. I merely mention this to show you what a change that has come to this state during the past century. If you were my may know that I was a curseity and was perhaps given more attention by visitors than any other member. But I had one purpose in view and that was to conduct myself in a manly way and do something for the uplift of my people. So I leave it to you to judge how well that was done. After all however, it must ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1921 SOLDIERS ASK FOR FLOWERS Wounded Ex-Service Men In Military Hospital Lonely And Appeal To Citizens. National Military Home May 24, 1921 To the Churches of St. Louis, and The St. Louis Argus: Dear Friends: We, the undersigned, former soldiers of the World War, now patients at the National Military Home, Leavenworth, Kan., send greetings to you. We are here from all over the Country trying to recover from injuries incurred in service, while we were trying to country and promote the general welfare of our race. Just as a reminder, that the war is over, we hope that you have not forgotten the men who risked all for liberty, equality and freedom. It seems that our people, who offered so much to us while the War was on have forgotten that hospitals and Military Homes all over the country are rapidly filling with men of our Race. We of the National Home at Leavenworth, Kan., are now about fifty strong. Some are totally disabled, others can only hope to be partially returned to former health and strength. We have not received telegrams, letters, flowers, papers or anything that would serve as a reminder to let us know that we have not been forgotten. From Sunday to Saturday, week in and week out, we received no Colored visitors, no tokens of any kind from our people. Surely all of the ten million of the people can not forget the services rendered by men of the World War. When the war was over, the risk was too great, no sacrifice too great for us. We were only too glad to do our bit to promote freedom, equality, liberty and the general good of our Race. We have men here from the Taber- nacle Baptist Church, Gallifre, Church Freewell Baptist Church, Union Mem- ernal General Baptist, St. James A. M. E. Pleasant Green Church of St. Louis St. Louis is the great represented city at this Home. May we hope that the Churches, papers and American Legion Posts of St. Louis take up the call and cause it to be echoed and transmitted to other cities in order that former Heroes of our race will not think that they have been forgotten in this hour of doubt and anxiety.

WILKERSON MAKES PLEA FOR RACE Young St. Louisan Speaks Before Dean Professors And Students At Western Reserve University Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. John Diamond DuPee Wilkerson, a varsity debater of Western Reserve University. Cleveland, Ohio, spoke before the dean, several professors and Western Reserve students on "The Americanism of the Negro." In superb oratory, Mr. Wilkerson brought out the following points as the four corner stones of the Americanism of the Negro: (1) Progress in the Economic world; (2) Progress in arts; (3) Progress in science and inventions; (4) and the "Birth of Patriotism" in Crispus Attucks, and its subsequent dissemination as a heritage to all American Negroes. The white students gave Mr. Wilkerson great praise for his earnestness and power of elucation, while the Colored students were very happy to have the cause of the Negro championed by such an able speaker, and have been anxious to have Mr. Wilkerson make public addresses. Mr. Wilkerson has written an eight thousand word thesis on "The Americanism of the Negro," which he plans to put on the market in the near future, and which will be a psychological treatment of "Colorphobia." Mr. Wilkerson expects to return to St. Louis about the 12th of June, and will be connected with the Y. M. C. A. for the summer. Young Wilkerson was the first Argus newsboy about eight years ago. At that time he was handling 12 copies a week. But before he left this city for his university training, about two years ago, he was handling over 1200 copies weekly. St. Louisans are proud of the record being made by Mr. Wilkerson. NATIONAL NEGRO BUS LEAGUE IS AFTER 5000 NEW MEMBERS The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D. C.

HAIRSTON Mr. Hairston has just made a formal announcement that he has entered the real estate business in this city. For many years he has in a quiet way enlisted his people to buy real estate because of the stable and increasing value and some of the leading citizens of St. Louis have been benefited by his advice. Before coming to 'this city many years ago, he was in the grocery business at Birmingham, Ala., and since coming here has been interested in many movements which has for its, in his opinion, been a major factor. He is well known in religious fraternal organizations and is interested in charitable work. His office at present is at his residence, 3525 Lawton Avenue. Women Voters League Quits The Federation Of Women's Clubs Conflict Caused by Admission of Colored Women to League The St. Louis League of Women Voters passed a resolution Friday, the 19th withdrawing its affiliation with the Federation of Women's clubs because of a conflict in the constitutions of the Federation of Women's Clubs and the League of Women Voters, demanding the admission of Colored women to the league. In another resolution the league deferred itself materially opposed to the unwarranted and unintended assertions with malicious intent of discriminatory tations of candidates for public office. Resolutions indicating disarmament, the Hare system of proportional representation, better laws for women in industry and various legislative measures were passed. NEGRO SLAYER IS STILL AT LARGE Up to a late hour. Thursday afternoon, Spencer Jordan, of 405 Finney Avenue, who is charged with having killed Special Officer Michael J. Finn, in a pistol duel, was still at large. It was expected, however, that he would be captured at any moment. "Rev." Henry Page, who is his brother-in-law, and who was with him at the time of the shooting is talking a deal, but no one believes his statement. The ministers of the city denied knowledge of such a preacher being in St. Louis. Not Known In Alliance When seen by a representative of the Argus, Dr. Geo. E. Stevens, President of the Interdimensional Alliance stated: "We know nothing of the so-called preacher arrested in connection with the killing of Policeman Finn. Of course these are always wolves in sheeps' clothing." Representatives of the Argus have failed to find any pastors in the city who can to know anything of "Minister Page." Mr. Morris, pastor of Fairfax Avenue Baptist Church, where Page is said to have claimed he was assistant pastor. Rev. Morris denies this and made the following statement: Notice to whom this may concern: This is to certify that the minister, Henry Page now held for murder was not, is not, have never been assistant pastor of Fairfax Avenue Baptist Church. He joined this church several months ago and was allowed to preach at times, and on occasions. The game was stopped after the 4th inning on account of rain. St. Louis won in the second, when they drove Dare Brown off the ground and scored seven runs. Jimmie Lyons got a home run for Chicago in the first. N. HAIRSTON Not 'Known In Alliance A Square Deal For Every Man WEEKS STOPS COLORED NAT. GUARD FIGHT Secretary Of War Says Any State May Include Colored Americans. New York Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois And The District Of Columbia Are Ready. The Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON. D. C. May 25.—Secretary of War Weeks has let it be known that any state may include Colored Americans in the Federalized National Guard, in such proportions as they may determine, on an absolute basis of fairness. This information the Secretary gave to Attorney W. C. Lawrence Matthews of Boston, in an interview at the War Department. It reserves the order issued by former Secretary War Haker which has caused nation wide distress and which has prevented Colored Americans from enlisting in National Guards except as "pioneer" or labor organizations. The Associated Negro Press recently carried an extensive story on this subject, which was laid personally before the Secretary of War, Vice President Coolidge, and others. Vice President Coolidge took a personal interest in the subject, for, as Governor of Massachusetts, he was prevented by the Baker order from including a battalion of Massachusetts National Guards in the regular state quota, in a manner in keeping with the traditions of the state. At that time Mr. Coolidge proceeded to organize anyway, and declared that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would stand behind the organization until a change of administration. At the time of making this statement, Mr. Coolidge was not a candidate for any office. Recently, Mr. Matthews, who was formerly assistant District Attorney in Boston, in company with a representative of the. Associated Negro Press, took the subject up with the Vice President and Mr. Matthews reminded the Vice President of his remarks. The Vice President, true to his promise, took the matter up immediately with the Secretary of War. "His decision By Secretary Worka who will doubtless issue a formal statement of the subject, permits Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, where there have been National Guards for years, to organize on a just basis. It will allow them to recognize Colored men to organize on a basis in keeping with principle and justice. Senator Caraway of Arkansas has introduced a bill to exclude all Negro citizens from the Army and Navy, now henceforth and freer. It is stated that his bill will not get out of the committee, but serves to show the spirit with which the Race, and other real Americans, must contend. EX-GOV. INDICTED FOR PEONAGE Sidney J.

The aggregation is a big one headed by Sam H. Gray, the well-known comedian; Charles Lockett, Bob Davis; Virginia Liston, the creator of new songs; and Anna Belle Cook, the double-voiced Prima-Donna who was last seen here with the Bob Russell company. The chorus is said to be composed of comely girls with sweet voices and graceful dancing talents. This company promises the theatre-goers a big snappy, entertaining show. THIS WEEK AT THE B. W. The Doe Doe Green Company, at the Booker Washington Theatre this week lacks the pep which the patrons have been favored with by such companies lately. This causes a drag in the performances which dominates the whole show and serves to eclipse whatever bright spots it possesses. The atmosphere of the Mexican border together with the aira of La Paloma seems to have a lazy effect on the performers. The action of the play has to do with two dark skinned individuals who cross the border and get into trouble because of their fondness for the Sanitas. There is plenty of nonsensical comedy, that might go big if put over with a little more spirit. There is also some good singing on the part of the female contingent, especially one who possesses an excellent voice. The engagement will close Sunday night "I USED TO LOVE YOU, BUT IT'S ALL OVER NOW." Misses Pease and Carr are winning favor with the Manhattan Garden patrons because of their singing. These entertainers always have the very latest to offer and know how to deliver. Next week...the features will be "I Used Love You. But It's All Over Now," and "Moonlight." The Garden has been a popular resort during the past midsummer nights. A dance matinee will be given on Monday, Decoration Day. The Frolic, under the auspices of the Lumbs' Club has been postponed from June 8 to Wednesday, June 15. OPEN AIR DANCING PLEASES JAZZLAND PATRONS. 'The big dance pavilion in the garden at Jazzland started out with wonderful success Saturday night. The canopy covered floor with its elegant surroundings seems to be just to patrons' liking. To dance in the open air, rain or shine, is an innovation that has won appreciation. There will be a Matinee Dance on Decoration Day and the Novelty feature for next Wednesday night will be a "Skirt Walist Dance." AT THE MOVIES Ralph Madsen, said to be the World's Tallest Man, standing at 5 feet 4 inches, will appear in person at the theater Theatre on Monday, Decoration Day. This giant Cowboy and his world smallest horse, "Tinymite," will also be seen in motion pictures. The pictures show film going through the Federal Buildings at Washington, D.C., and the comparison with other individuals, doors etc., is humorous as well as interesting. The securing of this exhibit as an added feature to the Comet program is due to the intensity of Manager James, who will present it, to his troops ahead of any other exhibitors at St. Louis. The Admission prices will remain the same. Adults his, children Photoplay Features This/Saturday. The Council will present "The Country Fair."

At a special meeting of the Interdenominational Alliance last Thursday, the Ku Klux Klan was severely arranged as a breed of race riots and many other evils. A committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions to be presented to the press and the City and State Officials. Geo. E. Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist Church, Chairman; T. J.

"If we welcome this organization we might as well do away with our police force and courts of law," the letter says, "All upstanding, fearless agents of the law will be liable to a visit from the night rider or secret bullet." "The Ku Klux Klan comes to us from a state and section where murder-farms, peonage, lynchings and ghostly outrages at midnight are common." "Permit us to enter our most serious protest against the organizing of the Klan of the Ku Klux here in St. Louis. When it begins to operate and the people have caught its spirit it may mean that the riots of East St. Louis, Chicago and other places will be repeated here." "Happily, we have been free from this sort of mob violence. Let us guard at every cost this pleasant race relationship here. It may not be ideal us yet; it could be infinitely worse. We often complain that public sentiment will not sustain the processes and verdicts of our courts; yet too frequently we allow those things to happen which are destructive to a wholesome public sentiment. Outlawed by the U. S. "The Ku Klux as an organization has a criminal record and was outlawed by the Federal Government. It comes to us from a State and section where murder farms, peonage lynchings and ghostly outrages at midnight are common. What can you expect from a group of people of this kind? A tree is to be known by its fruit. Its voice is Jacob's voice, but its hands are the hands of Esau. "It is said that the organization is to protect the white people; what has it done to protect the black people? It professes to champion white supremacy in this land.

"As it is, our city and State are shamed by handwriting covering its tracks and defeating the law by killing witnesses and by the hoarse cry of the mob satiating its blood lust.

"We call upon the Governor, the pulpits, the Mayor, the Police Departments, the Chamber of Commerce and all good citizens without regard to race, creed, calling or stand together out in the open and in every way to make sentiment against all influences which are un-Christian, un-American and inimical to our peace." - George E. KU KLUX IS AFTER PUBLIC APPROBATION The Associated Negro Press. CHICAGO, Ill., May 25 — The growth of the Ku Klux Klan among Americans North who are not in sympathy with many of its secret aims as they affect Jews, Catholics and Colored people, is attracting attention. They are said to be working assiduously among members of the American Legion and to have obtained many converts. It is thought that many Legionaires who have joined have been camouflaged by its so called American principles. Major Reed Landis, famous Aviation ace and son of Judge Kenisaw M. Landis, said recently that the selection of Simmons to head the Knights of the Air was due only to his ability as an organizer, and that he would have no part in any movement directed against creed or color. The denial of Gen. Pershing and others that they are identified shows the lengths to which the so called Klan will go to secure public approbation. Denials Coming In The Associated Negro Press. The Knights of the Air, a new secret organization of which Col. William J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, is the head, claim that the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Guaranty Trust Company, are genuine signatures, although the three men denied recently that they had sponsored the new secret organization. The three prominent men are said to have denied their connection with the new secret order following publication of a list of prominent citizens sanctioning its formation, in which their names were included—Atlanta Constitution. May 11, 1921. The first annual meeting of the Social Workers' Conference was held at the Fine Street Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday when 19 workers representing 15 social agencies were present. The report showed that a total of 267 persons had attended the luncheons the first year and 10 addresses by experts had been made upon subjects of practical value. The St. Louis Argus 'THE KNIGHTS OF AIR' HEADED BY KU KLUX LEADER By Associated Negro Press By Associated Negro Press CHICAGO, IL. May 18—Colonel William J. Simmons, the high and mighty "imperial wizard" of Ku Klux Klux, has been chosen head of the new fraternal organization recently formed by the former officers of the United States Air Service. Colonel Simmons' transcendent abilities as an organizer is given as the first reason for his superlatively supreme success as the chief promoter and founder of the Ku Klux has been chosen head of the new fit the country who possessed the high ability and spirit of Americanism deemed necessary to rejuvenate the rapidly decaying American Air Service. Chicago's interest in the matter of the ne worganization includes the selection of Major Reed Landis as its vice commander. "The Knights of the Air" is the cognomen that will carry whatever of fame that comes to this latest expression of Americanism to carry it up, or down for that matter, the corridor of time. Coupling this fact with the statement that the petition of Colonel Simmons begging his acceptance of the position of commander of the nvintors' organization—was discussed at an executive meeting of the supreme body of the Ku Klux Klux held in the city of Atlanta. Ga., before the tender was accepted by his highness, the imperial wizard, gave what appears to be, a rather strange twist to the selection and acceptance of Major Reed Landis, who happens to be the son of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of this city, of the post of vice commander in the "Knights of the Air Service." A quick denial of either official or sympathetic relation with the Ku-Kluw Rian has been brought forward by the men in this section who have given the "Air Service" movement their indorsement and co-operation. Major Landis, in response to a query of the Associated Negro Press declared that Colonel Simmion's selection as commander of the aviator's organization was determined by the knowledge of the wizard's superlative abilities as an organizer. "The Knights of the Air" has no connection, official or otherwise, with the Ku-Klux-Klan." declared Major Landis in answer to the question of the The Associated Negro Press representative, "Colonel Simmons was chosen as commander because of his splendid abilities as an organizer. Aviation has suffered a terrific shimp in the United States since the close of the late war. Only two men out of one hundred who were in the war service are now to be found in its active engagement. This branch of the army service must be strengthened. All Americans are eligible. Any Negro who shows aptitude in this direction will be cordially welcomed in our ranks. I will not have connection with any movement that does not stand for whole and complete Americanism. I have no brief for the Ku-Klux-Klan. Neither will I lend my support to any movement that countenances the proclaimed tenets of that organization." General Fershling, Major General Charles T. Menoher, Captain 'Eddie' Rickenbacker, William C. Potter, chairman of the board of directors or of the Guarantee Trust of New York; Burley J.

"Half White" Children Worry Ohio Court AKRON, Ohio, May 14. — Judge Spicer, of the Court of Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court, was confronted this week with a peculiar, roblem when Wm. Waller was hailed into court from Federal Street and charged with failing to support his white wife. It developed during the hearing that the probation officer had attempted to take from Waller and his wife their three children and put them out for adoption. This problem arose, however, causing considerable embarrassment to the meddling probation officers and the high-minded judge. The children were as fair as the fairest white children, bearing no physical appearance of being colored. The probation officer in charge of the children said that no colored family would be likely to adopt the children because they were to all intents and purposes white children, and that no white family would adopt the children because they were undoubtedly colored children, their father having Negro blood in his veins. The learned Judge finally decided that the best thing to do was to keep the children a white and give them back to their parents. DO YOU WANT A Bigger And Better Paper? Trade With The Advertisers in The Army ST.LOUIS,MO.,FRIDAY,MAY 27,1921 Spend Memorial Day In Beautiful Washington Park THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MAYFIELD COOLIDGE STILL ON RIGHT SIDE Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 18—Vice- President Calvin Coolidge, in an ex- clusive interview for the Associated Negro Press, declared his intents to seeing a fair adjustment of the Feder- alized National Guard order of former Secretary of War Baker, which is now before Secretary of War Weeks for consideration. Vice-President Coolidge pointed to the manner in which Massachusetts dealt with the problem while he was governor. The soldiers were organized, and as governor, Mr. Coolidge promised that the state would stand behind the guards as long as the present order obtained. In the course of the interview the assurance was given that it is the purpose of the present administration to be fair and just with all, that from time to time there will be developments in demonstrations of justice that will prove to the people the sincerity of purpose of the administration. That "Atlanta Speech" The Associated Negro Press representatives discussed with the vice president his speech in Atlanta, which caused a round of criticism and protest. It was pointed out that the Colored people of the country generally had been greatly impressed with his many stands for justice during the police strike in Boston, and were highly priased with his fine patriotic expressions in the course of his speech of acceptance; however, it was feared that his Southern visit, under the spell of Southern entertainment, had changed his viewpoint. Without hesitation, the Vice-President declared his viewpoint had not been changed, and that he is just as anxious now, as ever, to be fair to all, and to see that all get a square deal. He regretted the protests of the Atlanta speech, but he did not offer an apology for it, he stated that the only wise course to pursue is for the people of both races who live in the South to assume a friendly attitude toward each other. The Record Of Soldiers "The record of Colored soldiers in the World War will ever remain a lasting monument to their unselfish patriotism, and will not be forgotten. There is nothing anywhere to excel it, and in the affairs of the country, they must be greatly considered. It is just along spaces such as apxxumar while certain wealthy whites were fleeing from military service, I knew of only one Colored prison who attempted to be a slacker, and I am not so sure about that."

FEAR "JAZZ" MUSIC WILL DESTROY THE "WHITE SUPREMACY" The Associated Negro Press The Associated Negro Press. "CHICAGO, May 18—It has been discovered that the rhythmic distortions 'Jazz Music' encompassed the defeat of the German forces in the late war 'Jazz' irritates the nerve centers of the human system and thereby produces a condition of Pandem-peschosis—or something of that sort—and, preto, the German hordes melt into thin nothingness before the terrific dissensions of Jim Europe's "Jazz" on slaughters and there was nothing left for William H to do but take to the woods. This was farright when it came to the smashing of the Hindenburg line. But, devil take the fates though Jim Europe is dead his spirit goes marching on threatening to smash the bonehead lines of "white supremacy" and reduce that famed and valorous hand of dyspeptics to the absolute littleness of innocuous deutente. This was too, too much! Hence, the marvelous dispensations of science have been requisitioned and compelled to determine that "Jazr" is hellofathing that paralyzes the circulation of the blood and thus produces a situation of psychosis fatal to the maintenance of that exalted mental pole, which has characterized the historical course of the white race down the ages to its present proud position of arbiter and controller of the deathless of the human family. denseness and embalmed in ignorance vanity and the vision of the bird who buries his head in the sand. At least this is the conclusion reached by a fellow who Iikes "Jazz" and don't care a continental who knows it. He is a musician and lives in Chicago. DR PHILLIPS, NEW PRESIDENT OF MEHARRY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Special To The Argus NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 26—A feature of the session of the Meharry Alumni Association held here on the 17th inst., was the unanimous abduction of Dr. J. T. Phillips as President. It will be recalled Dr. Phillips has passed three medical boards viz. Tennessee, West Virginia and Missouri. He bears an excellent reputation in this city both as a physician and as a race leader and it is certain the Association will take on new life under the progressive direction of the well-known doctor who is a graduate of Fisk and Meharry. The two hundred Alumni present reaffirmed their allegiance to Meharry and to John Mulbway and to the venerable President Emeritus, George W. Hubbard, who are exerting every possible effect to place Meharry back into Class. A. A campaign among the Alumni for $500,000.00 was recently launched as their quota of the endowment fund and the 3,000 graduates all over the country will be called upon to give liberally. Meharry has rendered the race a splendid service and is therefore entitled to the moral and financial aid of our common country. The Alumni adopted a resolution respectfully urging the Trustee Board of Meharry to appoint an alumnus on the board. This resolution will be officially presented by Dr. Phillips at the next session of the board. The alumni meeting was characterized by good fellowship and was pronounced the most constructive and important ever held in the history of the institution.

M., Sunday May 15, the Chel Club of New York assembled with their friends at St. Marks church and conducted a memorial service in memory of the late James Reese Europe, one of the founders of the club. As the director of local orchestras and bands he did much to establish Negro music in public favor. Later, as an A. E. F. Bandmaster with the U. S. A. he carried the fame of this same music to favor in continental Europe. The program prepared for the occasion included the condition of Wm. H. Nielsen "Dim" dedicated to the beloved "Dim" as he was affectionately known to the boys of the Chel. Colonel Little, of the 14th Regiment, the outfit with which Lieut. Europe served overseas spoke. The regimental band under the direction of Lieut. Fred Simpson played. The Chel Club orchestra furnished the rest of the program. The whole affair was in charge of Tandy Johnson as Master of ceremonies. INTERESTING NEWS REELS OF THE RACE The Associated Negro Press The Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, MAY 25—The June release of the Monumental News, the Colored in news reel picturing the activities of the African-American community and produced by the Monumental Pictures Corporation, of which J. Williams Clifford is the president and General Manager; is most interesting indeed. Among the many entertaining and educational scenes are to be found views of prominent Negro political leaders, men and women being received at the White House. Negro children in a May festival in Baltimore, Mary land, President Harding's famous Colored cook and the New York Giants baseball team in deepest confinement with teammates from all of Atlantis. This is the second news release produced by the Monumental Pictures Corporation and it is meeting with tree mendous success in all parts of the country. The news recits have inspirational and educational value and the Colored theatre goes of the country demand that they be shown in the theatres that they attend. Mr. Clifford said that it is his intention to have Monumental Negrettes taken from the different Colored papers showing Badridiculous and superstitious features of Billman's prejudice against the American race to be the concessions of opinion that the Negroes of the country should get behind this noble and worthy endower of the Monumental Pictures Corporation and make the Monumental Pictures (Appraisal News an American Institution thus using the powerful medium of motion pictures to bring the Negroes closer together, giving them that feeling of racial intimacy as necessary in their larger influences in the affairs of the public. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1921 PROMPT ACTION ONLY WILL SAVE HAITI The Associated Negro Press NEW YORK, May 25.-Pierre Eugene de Lespainse, a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union, who has just arrived in New York City from Haiti, has issued a statement in which he urges prompt action for the regeneration of his country if its ruin was not to be made complete by the American occupation. "For the first time in 116 years," said M. Pierre Eugene de Lespainse, the Haitian president. "His American government has dedicated its interior debt. This debt is held by Haitian people, for the most part, who have suffered severe hardship because of the stoppage of their income, and those who gave credit to the Haitian Government by purchasing its obligations, are being ruined. "If Americans wish to do something for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten. Human powers have their limits. Haitians have endured for six years. I do not know how long they can continue to endure. Their country has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of destroying insecurity. There is no work to be done. Common people are miserable and underfed, and upwards of 100,000 of them have migrated to Cuba. "The first remedy required is financial. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency, the gourde, at twenty cents for a gourde, when in the last 25 years the gourde had been worth a dollar and was several times at a premium over the dollars The military devastation that has taken place in Haiti in the last five years can be repaired. It will be more difficult to make reparation for the economic crimes which are killing the country in putting it at a disadvantage. The crimes committed in the open, but in the silence of diplomatic and financial chambers." Beware of the "color question" within the race. We can't expect much from without when things are going wrong within. F. C. BAKER & COMPANY 2900 TO 2908 MARKET ST. F. C. BAKER & COMPANY 2900 TO 2908 MARKET ST. See E. P.

Tweaker of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (B. 1821, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON TEXT-Luke 10:15-NI; Acts R 44-71 OLDEN TEXT—Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore in the fulfil- ment of the law—Rom. 15:10 REFERENCE MATERIAL—Prov. 15:11; Matt. 15:11-41; Rom. 12:3-10; 15:1; 2; Eph. 4:15-13. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of a Man Who Helped JUNIOR TOPIC- The Good Samaritan. - Being a Good Neighbor JUNIOR TOPIC- The Good Samaritan. TOUGHT PROPEL AND ADULT TOPIC —Who Is My Neighbor? 1. Christ Questioned (Luke 10:25-29). 1. By whom (v. 25). A certain lawyer. He was not a lawyer in the modern sense of that term; most nearly corresponds to our theological professors. 2. The purpose of (v. 25). It was to tempt Jesus as to whether He was really learned in the law; and also to entrap Him to show Him to be heterodox. 3. The question (v. 25). "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Though a lawyer, his theology was defective. He thought eternal life was to be obtained by doing. The very words he used involve a contradiction. An inheritance is not obtained by doing, but his being 4. Jesus' reply (vv. 26-29). He cited him to the law. This is the proper place to send one who is expecting to get eternal life by doing. The lawyer answered well, for supreme love to God and love to one's neighbor as he loves himself is the sum total of human obligation. "This do and thou shalt live." But this is the very thing he could not do. Man needs God's enabling grace to love at all; so he stood condemned by his own conscience enlightened by the law. He set out to trap Jesus, and now he is caught in a trap, and in order to justify himself he said to Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" The question is answered in the story of the Good Samaritan. 11. Playing the Neighbor (vv. 30-37). In this story of the Good Samaritan the question is shifted so as to make clear that the supreme question is not, "Who is my neighbor?" but "Whose neighbor am I?" To be a neighbor is 1. To see those about us who need help (v. 33). We should be on the lookout for those in need of help; and love is keen to discern need. 2. Have compassion on the needy (v. 33). Since Christ is the compassionate One, all who have His nature will be likewise moved when they see need. 3. Go to those in need (v. 34). The personal touch many times is more important than material aid. It is easier to give money than personal aid. The true neighbor gives both. 4. Bind up wounds (v. 34). 5. Set the helpless ones on our beasts while we walk (v. 34). Willingness to deny ourselves in order to help others is a proof of the gentleness of love. 6. Bring to the inn and take care of the unfortunate (v. 34). The true neighbor is not spasmatic in his giving help. 7. Give money (v. 35). It costs much to be a neighbor. Love is the most expensive thing in the world. It cost God His only Son; it cost Jesus Christ His life. May we go and do likewise! 111. The Behavior of the Early Church (Acts 2:44-47). 1. They were together (v. 44). They were together because they were baptized into the one body of which Christ was head by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 12:13). The onesness of the body was symbolized by the breaking of bread. Such unity is only possible to believers in Christ, that in those regenerated by the Holy Ghost. To get unity, therefore, in the neighborhood we must get people to be saved. 2. Had a community of goods (vv. 44, 45). They sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need. This proved that they were under the power of the Holy Spirit, that in that the supernatural was being manifest; for it is not natural to abandon one's title of possession. 3. They were filled with grace and singleness of heart (v. 46). Those who were really born again have no ulterior motive. What they seem to be, they really are. Unsaved men and women are controlled by selfish motives; they seek their own, not another's good. This they do while feigning love for others. 4. Praising God and having favor with all the people (v. 47). Such selfishness gained the attention of the people and induced them to yield themselves to God, who added daily such an were being saved.

The Lord, the God of Israel, saith that He hath putting away; for one coverthief violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts; therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treachery.—Malaichi 2:18.

LOUIS GIANTS LEAD THE LEAGUE IN TEAM BATTING Special to The St. Louis Argus CHICAGO, May 25--The first three weeks of play in the big Colleged League points to, the belief that the sponsors for the Negro circuit of have at last put together a compact and well-balanced collection of clubs. Despite the chily weather this spring the attendance figures reveal the fact that much interest is being shown. The different teams are showing greatly improved form over that of last season at this time. There appears to be a wealth of good pitching material upon all clubs. In spite of the fact that the records show many free hitting contests. The Kansas City Monarchs, as well as the American Giants and Detroit Stars, have all along been looked to for a display of prowess a little above the other Western circuit members, they have retained known and seasonal performers at all of the most important points of the defensive, and have in many respects annexed an added amount of aggressiveness. There have not been enough games between the supposed stronger clubs to give a line on their ability as compared with the clubs whom this season were compelled to start the race with new faces and reeled up. The Western cities did not live up to their established fame as hitters against American Giant pitching, tabling but 12 hits in three games, while the Chicago team annuenced but sixteen. The facts indicate that the best pitching—spots may be upon these two teams, but there is nothing to warrant the belief that these clubs house the best hitting. The Detroit Stars and Barracuda Giants display greater hitter K. C.'s with the Chicago team away out in front of the beast on base-running and all around finish. Five Fighting For Lead The series of games between the St. Louis Giants, Columbus, A. B. CA, and Chicago Giants, St. Louis and Kansas City, is measuring evidence that five clubs, at least, are going to be in a depth struggle at all times for superior honors. The coaching of the Giants, guarded at various heights, has no particular interest "since the soil THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1921 at any of the standings will at once reveal the fact that it is possible for the leading club to have won many less games than clubs further down in the heap and still retain the lead. — **St. Louis Leads In Hitting** No far, the St. Louis outfit appear to be setting the pace on hitting, having batted at a 200 clip in eight games against the strongest pitching. The Indianapolis clubs follow with .265 in eight games against strong pitching. Columbus, a club with practically new men, have hit .257 against strong pitching. The Chicago hats have shown weak hitting in their seven games, only tabling .213. * The A. B. Cs. have shown an average of more runs per game, while hitting one less hit per game. The games so far, would indicate great improvement at St. Louis and Indianapolis, with Columbus a dangerous dark horse in the figuring. BACHARACH GIANTS ARE IN A SLUMP NEW YORK, May 21.—Hoodoos, Jinx or what ever you want to call it, certainly are on the trail of the Bacharach Gigats on their present western trip. When they left New York City, May 1st for the west, every man excepting Barber who sprained his ankle a few days before, were in good condition. First week out they ran into cold and raining weather and Trendwell has been on the sick list ever since and Hartley and McDonald laid up with sore arms putting three pitchers practically out of the game, as all they can do in their present condition is to work 3 or 4 injuries. That makes extra hard work for Residing and Williams the other 2 pitchers. To put the finishing touch to all their hard back Short Stop Loudy breaks a small bone in his ankle and will be out of the game for at least a month and Hutchison the extra indictor cannot report as he is at his house sick. That forced Outschler Brown to second and pre-season baseman Handy to short. With this make shift infield they played and lost 2 to 1 to Foster in Chicago last last Sunday, one of the best games played in Chicago. The fans here in the East are certainly loyal to the Bacharach Giants as they all know the condition the team in in at the present time and are getting ready to give them the biggest send off when they open up June 6th at Ebbets Field Brooklyn against the Hilldales of Philadelphia in a double header. LIBERIA COMMISSION GUEST OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA By The Associated Negro Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

Special To - The Argus NEW YORK, May 18. — "It is impossible to study the Negro occupation, and believe that the presence of black troops constitutes a constant terror and a horror to the Germans — The crime . . . is . . . rather against the black troops themselves than against the Germans. They are virtually slaves . . . forced . . . to military service in a cause in which they have no interest and which they do not understand." Thus writes Lewis Gannett from Mainz, Germany, after careful first-hand study. His article appears in The Nation for May 25. About the "Horror on the Rhine." German officials told Mr. Gannett "that this propaganda was a commercial enterprise conducted for profit." The article censures the conditions of the occupation, and describes in detail not only the conduct of the black troops on the Rhine but that of the white troops as well. The Nation publishes in the same issue the complete text of the Haitian Memoir to the United States describing the atrocities perpetrated by the military occupation of the Republic of Haiti, and concluding in part: It is the most terrible regime of military autocracy which has ever been carried-on in the name of the great American democracy. The Haitian people, during these past five years, have passed through such sacrileges, tortures, destructions, humiliations, and misery as have never before been known in the course of its unhappy history. The American Government, in spite of the attitude of wisdom, moderation and even submission which it has always found in dealing with the Haitian Government, has never lived up to any of the agreements which it had solemnly entered into with regard to the Haitian people. The Haitian people are entitled to reparations for the wrongs and injuries committed against it. The great American people can only honor themselves and rise in universal esteem by hastening the restoration of justice—of all the justice due a weak and friendly nation which the agent of its Government have systematically abused. Property Discrimination Charges Filed In United States Supreme Court Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, May 18—Charges that Negroes are denied equal protection in the courts of Georgia' and deprived of their property by legal processes were made in a brief filed in the Supreme Court by J. E. Sistrunk, a Negro attorney of Atlanta, Ga., who represented himself as acting for several complaints of the same race in suits involving Atlanta real estate valued at about $154,000. Declaring that during the last eighteen years he had occasion to bring cases of action into the Supreme court of the Atlanta circuit, Sistrunk asserted that "in every case petitioner has been denied the benefit of the process of law and denied the right of property without due process of law." Associated Negro Press TUSKEGEE PRESIDENT VISITS WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14. — Dr. Robert R. Moten, president of Tuskegee Institute, was a visitor to the White House on Monday, May 8, by invitation by President Harding to discuss the race question and legislation for the best interest of the nation. While in the city he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Purduean D. Davis, who is a member of the Tuskegee Institute for New York City. He was also a member of the Tuskegee Institute for New York City. CONGRESS DODGES THE QUESTION OF NEGRO-FRANCHISE CONGRESS DODGES THE QUESTION OF NEGRO-FRANCHISE WASHINGTON, May 18.—The most remarkable parliamentary discussion in the present Congress, and which, by the way was barely touched upon by the daily press, took place in the House of Representatives, Friday May 6. The discussion was precipitated by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts, who rose to "offer a resolution on a question of high personal privilege." When it was discovered by the Republican floor leader, Congressman Mondell, of Wyoming, what it was all about, together with a number of other leaders various objections and points of order were offered. In brief, the resolution was on the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. After reciting the various breaches of constitutional privileges of voting, in certain sections of the United States, the committee on Census is authorized to proceed forthwith to make diligent inquiry respecting the extent which the right to vote is denied or abridged to citizens of the United States in any state in violation of the Constitution of the United States." Representative Thinkham was compelled to confine his utterances to the point of order, to wit: that the resolution "is not privileged under the rules and not privileged under the Constitution, and does not present a question of privilege before the House." This point was raised by Floor leader Moodell. After long and, in one or two instances, a criminous debate, the speaker ruled, going into detail on the subject, sustaining the point. Immediately, Representative Tinkham respectfully appealed from the decision of the chair, following which Mr. Mondell sought to have the motion laid on the table, but upon the personal request of Speaker Gillett, the vote was taken. It resulted in the vote being sustained yeas, 284: Nays, 47: not voting 18. "A Matter of Record" How the votes went on this matter is now a matter of official record, and makes interesting reading. While representative Mondell assured Mr. Tinkham that there was ample means, under the rules, to introduce the resolution, and have it come up in the proper way, Mr. Tinkham rejoined that he introduced it during the last Congress, and thereafter was not admitted to the door to look at it. And that is the crux of the whole subject. Representative Tinkham has sought by every manner and means to bring to the attention of the Republic, through Congress, the manner in which citizens are disfranchised, and Congress has wilfully blocked every effort. The facts are clear: Congress, Republican or Democratic, does not propose to tackle the subject of disfranchisement, and if it is brought close to the front, it will be blocked at every stage of the game. This is cold blooded truth, and facing the issue, Representative Tinkham informed The Associated Negro Press his plan to bring the subject before Congress, and he declares that he is not yet then, that public sentiment will soon demand an investigation just as it is now with peonage.

The St. Louis Giants defeated Rube Foster's Chicago Americans by the score of 13 to 1. It was the opening game of the six game series and a good-sized crowd, was on hand to witness the slaughter of Rube's young lefthander Starks. The local boys started out in the very first round and scored two runs on Charleston's territe wallop over the rightfield fence with Monjin on first. In the second round, Mills' pill smashers added four counters on a single by Bennett, a walk to Holt and Giant's poor throw to third when Stacks attempted to pick Holt off first and Bennett went to third and scored when Grant's bum pig hit the stand, Holt taking third. Drake scored the nite second sacker with a single to left. Hewitt popped out but Monjin helped the cause along by lining a hit to left for one base. Charleston then tripped to left center scoring Drake and Monjin. Another tally was added in the third inning when Bennett again singled and scored on Holt's triple to center. Rube must have had a grudge against Starks, and left the southpaw in towging him to take his medicine. The Mill's clan did not score in the fourthth or sixth, but the seventh saw another run come over. Charleston led off with a hit to DelMoss and wrestled Starks so badly that the later made two balks in succession and Blackwell scored the middle gardener with a long sacrifice dy to Torrenti. The eighth was a complete massacre and the local boys scored five runs before the innings was ended. Drake opened this stunza with a single to left and went to second when Hott was passed. Monjin beat out a hit to the infield and the sacks were loaded. In pitching to Charleston, Starks was too careful in keeping the ball away from the slugger and consequently he lost his man on balls, forcing Drake over the plate. Blackwell then hit one far over the centerfielder's head and it went a homer. Drake in the meantime was pitching a great game and was only scored upon once and that came in the fourth when B. Williams tripped to center and scored on DeMoss inheld out the rap pulling Monjin out of position for a play at the plate. So good was Drake's work that in only two innings were there more than three men to face the big righthander. The innings in which Drake failed to set Ruben's men down in order were the fourth in which Chicago tallied their run, and the eighth, when two men were on the sarks only to be wiped out a minute later on a lightning double play. In this round, Lyons had worked Drake for the only pass he issued and went to second when Jim Brown beat a out hit to Hewitt, after Malarcher had filed out to Dudley. Grant then caught one squarely and the ball sailed for centerfield, but Joe Hewitt started promptly and snared the leather on the dead run and at the time was only a few feet from the middle cushion and stepping on the bag, completed the play unseeded. Had a triple play been necessary, Hewitt could have completed it without aid as Jim Brown, who was coming up from first wrest on two feet from Joe and it would have been an easy matter to put the ball on the big eagle of. The locals gathered several bingles in the eighth innings played and most of these were hard hit balls. SOURCE and power fielding, the locals turning nine misshits in the field. The Chibengo's scored seven runs in the first inning, mainly due in Finner's wildness. Finner passed the first and second man up and Denomass laid down the required sacrifices and Finner fell down attempting to field the ball and 1 the sacks were loaded for Toriengi, who tripped to center and scored when Holt fumbled the relay. Lyons singled to center and Malarcher hit to Finner who had Lyons forced at second but Howitt dropped the ball and all runners were safe. Finner walked Brown and Waltsee walked Finner to the showers. Enter Mr. Hall of speed bats fume Hall evidently had been watching Finner pitching and started in the same fashion by giving Grant a base on balls forcing Lyons over Johnson was at bat, Malarcher wandered too far off third and Bennett's sweep to Mongin hit him for the first out. Gardner stole second and went to third when Bennett's threw to center field. Williams ended the agony by striking out. Ohlham started the agony by second and DeMoss promptly started things by doubling to center Toriengi drew a base on balls and Lyons to Ohlham and DeMoss promptly fumbled the corners were crowded. Malarcher struck out and Brown hit to Brooks and DeMoss was forced out at the plate. Bennett threw the ball to first and Eddie Holt who covered the bag allowed the ball to get away from him and Toriengi scored. In the third, the visitors added three more runs with one gone Gardner rolled a hit along the third base line and the ball stared in fair territory after starting out twice. Williams sacked him to second and DeMoss put the ball on the left field corner for a home run. Toriengi singled to right and Lyons followed suit to center and when Malarcher by way of division sent his hit in left Toriengi scored the third run of the frame. Ohlham set down and the visitors failed to score again until the eighth. Toriengi tripped and scored on Lyons home run to center, Malarcher tripped to left and Brown sent a fly to Blackwell which the latter got under and then for some unknown reason let it fall, Malarcher scoring. The locals put on a little storm in their half of the eighth and scored five runs. Monjin jubil off with a base on balls and reached, second when Malarche threw Charleston's grouper past DeMoss in an attempt to force Monjin. DeMoss then caught one in the middle and drove the ball far past Torcini in center for a home run. Bruns kept the good work up and singled sharply to right but Bennett popped out for the second out. Blurkwell helped pepped out to Williams before DeMley connected for his homer. Helped kept the cause with a single to center, and tidalium hit for the same placing the home. Howett up on a tall fly back of the pitcher's bat and when Clouse made an shot play back and Bennett made an shot play back. In the Chicago ninth with Williams out of the way, DeMoss was passel and Torenti sent a fly to Blackwell. Lyons then tapped an easy chance to Oddham and the latter in an attempt to field the ball fumbled. DeMoss and Lyons put on the double steal to perfection. Malarcher doubled to left and the two have thieves scored, a wild pitch sent Malarcher to third. Brown walked and stole, second. "Oddham picked Malarcher off third." # NE.
