Vol. 4, No. 16 Profess LILY CONVENTION OF WALKER AGENTS IN N.J.Y. CLOSES New York City-One of the most unique meetings witnessed in all the history of New York was the 8th Annual Convention of Walker Agents just closed at the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Three hundred and seventy-five delegates from almost every state and from three foreign countries were registered. The convention opened Wednesday morning, August 13th at 10 a.m. with a song and scripture reading led by the Convention Chaplain Rev. J. S. Jenkins of Dallas Texas. On the above-mentioned evening a brilliant program was rendered at which time welcome addresses were made by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, Hon. Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age, Mrs. M. C. Lawton, President, Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs and Mr. Thomas E. Taylor, Executive Secretary, New York Young Men's Christian Association. Musical numbers were rendered by Mme. Alice Frazier Robinson, Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, Miss Olive Hopkins and Messrs. L. Lloyd Hickman and Chauneyce Northern. Attorney Robert Lee Brokenburr of Indianapolis, Ind., spoke on Mme. C. J. Walker,"A Victory and a Prophecy"; Mrs. Mae Walker Jackson and Attorney F. B. Ransom, General Manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co., spoke on the progress of the company and awarded $1,650 in cash prizes to agents leading in special work during the year. Various features of entertainment were furnished the delegates by the Mme. C. J. Walker Agents' Association of New York City, a dance and reception on Friday evening at the beautiful Renaissance Casino and the moonlight ride on the picturesque Hudson River on Saturday evening. Epochal in its importance, historical for its uniqueness and singular for its impressiveness was the pilgrimage made by those delegates and friends who swelled the number to 400, to the grave of Mme. C. J. Walker at Woodhaven Cemetery where memorial ceremonies were conducted, tributes paid Mme. Walker and wreaths placed upon her grave. The occasion was indeed significant for it was another proof that our group honors its living and reverens its dead. The Eighth Annual National Convention of Mme. C. J. Walker agents goes down as a milestone in Afro-American business life and is memorable for its large attendance and good work accomplished. ATTORNEY JAS. T. CARTER RE-ELECTED TREASURER OF ELKS Attorney James T. Carter, president of the Southern Aid Society and head of the Commercial Bank and Trust Company, of Richmond, Va., was re-elected Grand Treasurer of the I. B. P. O. S. of W. at their recent convention in Pittsburgh, Pa. Attorney Carter has held this important office for a number of years. Each year because of the efficiency of his office in handling the funds of the order, he is re-elected practically without any opposition. Attorney Carter is one of the most successful business men in Virginia. The Washington Tribune ROBERT R. CHURCH KICKED OFF STATE COMMITTEE WITHOUT PROVOCATION MME. C. J.

C OFF STATE WITHOUT PR Reports from Tennessee indicate that Republican chances for success in the November elections in that state have suddenly declined. This applies alike to the state and national tickets. Colored Voters Incensed The Republican state organization has capitulated to the demands of the "illy whites" that Negroes be excluded from the party councils. The colored voters are incensed. Unless they are placated immediately, they will bolt the G. O. P. In the 1920 election, Harding and Coolidge carried Tennessee by the scant majority of 13,000 votes. They are now fully 100,000 registered voters in that state. If there is any such defection as is threatened, the electoral votes of Tennessee will be given to John W. Davis as a result of the colored vote being cast for Robert M. LaFollette, independent candidate for President, as a vote of protest against the recent actions of the Republican state organization. Church Ousted The revolt of the colored voters was caused by the recent acts of the Republican state organization and the Republican nominees. At a meeting of the Republican primary board in Nashville, last Wednesday, Robert R. Church of Memphis was unceremoniously put off the Republican state executive committee. Colored Reptublicans openly charge that this was done simply because the "illy whites" of Shelby County demanded it. This deal handed the colored Republicans was so raw that after it had been done, a committee of three was appointed to go to Memphis and make an investigation. Hal H. Clements, candidate for chairman of the Republican state executive committee, led the fight against Church. "Lily Whites" Celebrate On the night previous to the meeting of the Republican state primary board, the "illy whites" held their victory feast. It was to celebrate the final triumph of the "illy whites" of Davidson county, of which Nashville MME. C. J.

Company purchased the northwest corner of North Street, West Street and Indiana Avenue for the sum of $58,000.

C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 is the county seat, in their obtaining a county committee which had no Negroes on it. The speakers at the banquet included H. B. Lindsay, Republican candidate for the United States Senate; T. F. Peck, Republican candidate for governor of Tennessee; Hal H. Clements, candidate for chairman of the Republican state executive committee, and J. Will Taylor, Republican National Committeeman for Tennessee and a member of Congress from the second Tennessee congressional district. Although the meeting had been widely advertised as a "victory feast for the lily whites," not one of these speakers, who are the leaders of the Republican party in Tennessee, dared to raise his voice in protest against the exclusion of colored Republicans from the party councils. Then on the following day Bob Church was put off the committee, the Republican organization completely surrendering to the demands of the "lily whites" of Shelby county, who packed the Republican county convention last April with Ku Klux Klansmen in an attempt to intimidate colored Republicans but failed miserably when a bloody fight ensued. The reaction nationally to the treatment of Church by the Republican state organization of Tennessee has not yet made itself known, but it is expected to have a direct influence upon the attitude of colored voters toward the Republican party in the coming election. Bob Church is nationally known. He is admired for his frank and unequivocal stand on all matters. He has been named by Chairman William T. Butler of the Republican National Committee as a member of the advisory committee, of which C. Bascom Slemp is the chairman. Yet the Republican state organization of Tennessee abruptly puts him off the state executive committee for no other reason than that he is colored and the "ily whites" demand an all-white state organization. WALKER COMPANY FOR SITE OFRY BUILDING six points. On this valuable corner passed daily by thousands of people, the Madam C. J. Walker Company will erect in the near future a new administration and factory building. Plans are now being prepared and from some of the proposed features, it is to be the most beautiful and by far the best appointed building of its kind in the world today. Neither brains nor money, we learn, will be spared to make it equal to the growing needs of the Walker Company and another fitting monument to the memory of the late Madam C. J. Walker. ES GIVEN MISSIONS IS CHIEF TOPIC AT BIG CONVENTION The Twenty Seventh Annual Session of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, convened Wednesday morning, September 3, at the Second Baptist Church, with one of the largest delegation in the history of the society present. The convention remained in session through Friday evening when the final services were held in the auditorium of Dunbar High School. While the ministers were holding their convention at Second Baptist Church, the Women's Auxiliary of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society were holding theirs at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. The reports of the various officers of the Society as well as those of its various departments, showed that the society is doing more in the field of missions now than possibly any other such organization. The work of the society now extends into all fields, including Africa, South America and the isles of the sea. Three sessions a day were held at which time some very interesting talks were delivered and many enlightening papers read. Among those who spoke before the society were: Rev. C. S. Brown, President of the Society; Rev. I. Heprash, of East Orange, N. J.; Dr. William H. Stokes, Richmond, Va.; Dr. J. H. Moore, Charlotte, N.C.; Dr. W. B. Crawford, of the Youghiogheny Association of Pennsylvania; Dr. A. A. Graham, Corresponding Secretary of the Society; Prof. Nelson William, Jr., Richmond, Va.; Dr. G. E. Read, Covington, Va.; Dr. W. T. Johnson, Richmond, Va.; Dr. F. W. Williams, Norfolk, Va.; Dr. Richard Carroll, Columbia, S.C.; Mrs. F. B. Watson Rev. and Mrs. G. A. Burke; Dr. J. Edmund Wood, Danville, Ky, and others. Practically all of the Baptist churches of the District joined in entertaining the convention. Many delegates expressed themselves as being entirely pleased with the way the nation's capital received them. In addition to the entertainment given the delegates by the convention, there were many private affairs given by relatives and friends of many of the delegates. A number of prominent Baptist Clergymen were attracted here by the convention. Former Washington Teacher Dead Word was received here this week of the death of Mrs. Alice Johnson Williams, wife of Dr. H. Williams, noted surgeon, at her late residence, 145 E. 42nd Street, Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Williams passed away at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, August 30th. Mrs. Williams had been in poor health for over a year. She was born in Washington and after finishing her course in the public schools, taught here for several years. She married Dr. Williams while he was Surgeon-in-Chief at Freedmen's Hospital in 1897. Both Mr. and Mrs. Williams were well known here where they have a host of friends and relatives. NEW LEADERSHIP IS PARAMOUNT TO RACIAL SUCCESS. NEW BLOOD NEEDED The greatest menace to the Negro race today is its "professional political leaders." This group is more responsible for the present state of backwardness in politics which is so evident now than any other. For years this bunch of selfish and corrupt leaders have held a death-like grip on the throat of the aspiring and progressive Negro and have thwarted the ambition politically and economically of 15,000,000 of their own flesh and blood. The net result of the activities of this group as shown by a review of achievements for a period covering 25 years or more, have been simply this: from a representative group of Negroes in Congress, we have lost all we like to call our own; from elective offices which we won with ease two generations ago, we are today denied even the right to hold appointive offices that require Senatorial confirmation. During this same period we have had our rights under the Civil Service abused and are denied positions of responsibility regardless of our ability to fill them. As to political accomplishments during this same period, the Negro cannot point to a single thing. The race has simply suffered a series of losses without a single political gain. For such results there certainly should be some causes. The answer is plain and simple: "Professional Political leadership." We apparently select our leaders for what they fail to do rather than for what they have accomplished, or perhaps we do not select at all, thereby permitting our leaders, like Topsy, just to grow up. Struggling under the handicap of ignorance, the masses of Negroes 25 years ago readily accepted as leaders those among them who were fortunate enough to have an education. This immediately threw the burden of leadership on our preachers, who were the first of the educated groups; school teachers, who were second; and our professional men who came third. These groups also stand in the same order in point of numbers. Therefore, when the vote was given the Negro, it was natural that out of these three groups we developed our present day "professional political leaders." Professional Political Leaders A professional political leader is a person, in most cases not elected to the position he holds and is without any real power with the masses of people but through his cunningness and trickery gets the white political leaders to recognize him and deal with his race only through him. In some cases these professional political leaders are selected for certain positions and because of the prominence of these positions, they take advantage of the situation and assume unto themselves the right to lead or represent the Negro race in any other endeavor they may find profitable. Outwardly these leaders are working in the interest of their race, but Office: 920 U St., N.W. Stumbling P. IN T HIP IS PARA- CIAL SUCCESS. OD NEEDED inwandly they are working 24 hours a day for themselves and against what they know to be the best interest of the race. Through various schemes this class of leaders keep in with their own people. One effective way of keeping in used by these leaders is by having a retinue of henchmen who they place in jobs of various kind as a reward for doing their (the leaders') bidding. While at the same time they keep in with the whites by doing anything all the way from valet service to whatever else is demanded of them. Since 1895 this professional group of leaders have grown in numbers and lost in character. The whites recognize these men as leaders because they play an important role in their plan to keep the Negro in his so-called place and prevent any rational demands being made for a proper share in the government. One must not think however that all of our political leaders have been on now are corrupt. Indeed, we have had quite a few men as well as women who have labored in the interest of the race, but this type of leadership is fought very bitterly by certain classes of white because they are not anxious to see this type of leadership flourish. Therefore the professional political leaders have been given a clear field for practically the past 25 years. Up to and including McKinley's administration, Negroes held many highly important offices, both in the Federal Government and in various states including several northern states. Federal office holding practically reached its peak under President McKinley. Owing to the many deaths during the period between 1895 to 1902, the race lost many of its earlier leaders including the great Frederick Douglass. Therefore, practically a new leadership assumed charge. This leadership was not as courageous as that of the generation before. It lacked in many instances the ruggedness of character, the willingness to sacrifice for a principal and above all, it lacked honesty. With the death of McKinley came Roosevelt. While many Negroes rank Roosevelt next to Lincoln, the results obtained by the leaders under his administration certainly do not justify the high rank given him. Unlike McKinley, Roosevelt refused to appoint Negroes to several important positions in the South. From Georgia where the race held five big Federal offices, Roosevelt cut them down to two. In Louisiana, the race got only two important positions. In a few other southern states the race got one or two mostly minor positions. A a whole, the race began to lose out in both Federal and state jobs under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. When Taft came in in 1909 he made his position clear that we would not appoint Negroes to Federal offices in the South where the appointment was objectional to the whites. This policy Mr. Taft carried out, but he did ap- (Continued on page 6) ADERS. Washington's Best Advertising Medium. V. Price 5 Cents g Block TENN. ATT'Y M'GILL WINS OWN CASE BEFORE FLORIDA COURTS (By George E. Taylor) Jacksonville, Florida, Aug. 4—Because of the general importance of a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Florida, in which cause the contending parties on one side was a prominent white attorney and on the other side were Negrees, your correspondent elects to give the public the benefit of the facts in the case, which are in substance as follows: In June 1919, A. W. Cockrell, Jr., a prominent white lawyer of this city, instituted suit against S. D. McGill, a prominent Negro lawyer of this city and his wife, to recover what he claimed to be a reasonable fee for legal services rendered in a previous suit. In fact, two suits were filed against the McGills, one on the Law Chancery side. Each suit was for twenty thousand dollars. The original suit in which Attorney Cockrell was employed by the McGills, involved certain large real estate holdings in Jacksonville, alleged to be worth over a hundred thousand dollars. The McGills refused to pay the fee charged, on the grounds that the amount was unreasonable, unjust and unfair. When the Chancery suit was heard before the Circuit Judge the Court's findings were in favor of the white attorney, giving him a lien on all of the real estate held by the McGills and directing that same be sold to satisfy Attorney Cockrell's claim of twenty thousand dollars, the fee claimed. Atorney McGill, being dissatisfied with the Judgment of the Court, appealed the case and on April 7th, 1921, the Supreme Court dismissed the bill against the McGills on the ground that there was no equity in it. The case at Law was next heard by the lower Court and the findings, like that of the case in Chancery, were in favor of Attorney Cockrell (white), for over fourteen thousand dollars including interest. From this judgment Attorney McGill, promptly appealed to the Supreme Court of Florida, and the Supreme Court recently reversed the Circuit Judge on the ground that the verdict was excessive and unreasonable. The whole case has just been settled by the payment of five thousand dollars by the McGills, who offered the contending white lawyer seven thousand five hundred dollars before he instituted the suit for twenty thousand dollars. A noticeable feature of these cases brought by a white lawyer against the McGills, is that the Judge before whom the cases were tried, made dozens of Orders before and after the trial of the cases, covering a period of over ten years, and every Order was directly against the Negro defendants (McGills). On the other hand, every decision made by the Supreme Court of Florida, was in favor of the McGills. The legal adage that, "He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client,' failed to apply in these cases, for Attorney McGill was compelled to be his own lawyer because it was (Continued on page 3) See Page 3 LOCALS AND SOCIETY PAGE TWO Three-fourths of the mistakes a man makes are made because he does not really know the thing he thinks he knows.

"If the proposed World Series between colored clubs of the East and West does not materialize in 1924, you may put it down that it will not be due to any obstacle placed in the way by me," quoted the leader of the Hilldale team. "As has been my policy during the fifteen years that I have guided the Philadelphia team and been identified with the game, I feel that the fans must be considered at all times and now, as never before is there a clamor for a meeting between the winners of the East and West. "Constant delving into the past and airing maters in which the public is little interested, will never be the means of solving the baseball situation among colored baseball clubs. Many conditions that now exist must be eradicated and a pact effected between the East and West before colored baseball may be rightfully termed a staple business enterprise." Formed for Better Baseball "The formation of the Eastern Colored League, in which I took an active part, was for the express purpose of assuring the fans along the Atlantic Coast of better baseball. Not claiming an overnight triumph or attempting to convince that the league has been perfected, the fact remains that the six clubs that formed the circuit in 1923 went through the entire season and voted to increase the league to an eight club body for the present year. Anxiety to please the fans in the respective cities, urged each owner to get a club that would stand up, accordingly the Eastern owners went far in search of talent that would appeal to the local fandom. Will Waive $1,000 Deposit "The player question, however was not the seat of the trouble between the Hilldale Club and the Negro National League, but the fact that our deposit of good faith to the amount of One Thousand Dollars has been retained by the Western body, since in 1923. This matter, of course, did not set well with our organization and lither-to we were not in any mood to compromise. However, the matter, when compared to public opinion is very trivial and I, personally am far removed from standing in the way of popular sentiment. If any club in the Eastern Circuit has an axe to grind it is ours. There is a possibility that we may not win the Eastern championship, this, however does not alter my stand in the matter of a World Series. You may put it down that I am waiting on the sections of our commission and the advances from the West. The East will concede to the wishes of the fans." GODFREY CONFIDENT OF DISPOSING OF RENAULT Philadelphia, Sept. 5—A heavyweight bout, which in the eyes of fans is second only to the Luis Firpo-Harry Wills battle in Jersey City, will be fought at the Phillies' ball park on the night of September 8, when Jack Renault, Canada's hope, and George Godfrey, Philadelphia's colored entry, clash for ten rounds. Either Renault or Godfrey will step into the picture as the logical challenger of the winner of the Firpo-Wills bout. Should Renault sidetrack Godfrey he has been promised a chance against either Firpo or Wills. The same condition holds good for Godfrey. Godfrey already has started training for what he considers the most important/bout of his career. He is stepping through daily training spaces at Jim Daugherty's Ridley Park camp. The dark-skinned, heavyweight has surrounded himself with three heavyweight sparring partners and is confident that he will eliminate Remark from the picture as a contender for Dempsey's crown. TRIBUNE SPORTS EDITOR TO COVER FIGHT H. Scott, sports editor of the Tribune, will cover the Wills-Firpo fight for local-readers in next week's paper. In his usual interesting style, Mr. Scott will give Tribune Readers a different ring-side viewpoint than that gotten from the daily press which in nearly every instance is prejudiced toward the Race boxers. Society Enjoys Seeing Wills Train Southhampton society folk are attending the daily afternoon work-outs of Harry Wills. One sees smartly dressed society women unaccompanied by male escorts, sitting around smoking cigarettes and watching the big fighter go through his strenuous training. He has made a good impression with the colonists and Capt. Jones has received several hundred requests for seats for the big bout mostly from people who had never seen a boxer until they saw Wills. The colonists never had an amusement of its kind before. At the outset they were against Capt. Jones allowing a fighter to train at his place, but Wills has conducted himself so that those who originally opposed his invasion now seem to enjoy watching him train. Wills took a walk of ten miles this morning. After a light breakfast he lolled around on the porch, talking to his manager, Paddy Mullins, until lunch. At 3:30 he went to the Casino for his usual training. He realizes that condition is everything, and a victory over Firpco means a Dempsey fight with a great gate and possibly the heavyweight title, therefore he is leaving no stone unturned to get in perfect shape. FLOWERS SCORES K. O. Wheeling, W. Va., September 2— Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, Ga., scored a technical knockout over Tut Jackson of Washington Court House, Ohio, in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Legua Park, Martins Ferry, Ohio, last night. WATCH ST. PAUL'S ELEVEN Around the C. I. A. A., the word has gone out to watch Coach Douglas' St. Paul football team. Unless things go wrong, only one veteran will be lost at the Lawrenceville school this fall. The long waited for opportunity of local fans to see the "wonder team" will come on October 11, when Howard tackles the Virginians. HERE IS A CHANCE FOR_MORE HOUSE ALUMNI The Alumni, students and patrons of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., are working hard selling football season tickets for the four home games. The season tickets are being sold to meet the immediate obligations of constructions grandstand which will fulfill a long felt need at Morehouse College. The students and players are happy to know that Prof. D. T. Harvey, for eight years Director of Athletics and Coach, will lagain be on the job assisted by Prof. C. E. Warner. The aspirants of rthe team who are in the city for the summer, began this week to work out Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 5:30 p.m. Morehouse College football team probably fares the hardest schedule yet tackled. ONE GAME NEEDED BY VETERANS BUREAU TO CLINCH DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE FLAG A new champion of the Departmental League will quite likely be crowned this week. One victory stands between the Veterans Bureau nine and the league pennant. The race will in all probability be decided Friday afternoon when the vets and the Government Printing office nines hook up. The main cog in the Veterans Bureau's success has been Harrison Parker. Parker has perhaps seen more service than any other local pitcher. Still his work this year has been the feature of the league race. His best performance was to shut out the hard-hitting Treasury nine with two lone hits. Parker formerly played with the Baltimore Black Sox and any number of local independent clubs.

Recent developments tend to show that we were all wrong last week in predicting that a series between the East and West was improbable. Rube Foster, through his mouthpiece, Frank Young, sports editor of the Chicago Defender, has come forward acknowledging defeat but hoping for better luck. The "egotistical Rube" is willing to have the Western pennant winner play the Eastern winner provided this section terminates now and forever its player-raid in the West. Great work, Rube. You are beginning to think. But why did it take you two years to see that the East was gradually causing your downfall? Had you sponsored such idea last year, it is probable that Mrs. Taylor would not have been forced out of baseball. Closely following Rube's published anxiety comes Ed Bolden, backed by his Commissioners, forward with a statement that the East is willing to meet the West and only awaits a formal challenge from the latter section. The East will demand that the first three clubs share the spoils. The issue is put up to the "egotistical Rube." Will he sense the situation, forget his false pride and save those players for his circuit that are certain to come East in future years? The East has nothing to lose—it can wait on the West. If a compromise is not forthcoming this year, more than one club of Bolden's circuit will be strengthened by the addition of Western players. Foster can put a stop to this exodus. The fans of the country are awaiting the announcement that the Western League has officially challenged the Eastern League for a championship baseball series. Eastern Colored League POTOMACS DEFEAT LINCOLN GIANTS FOR FIRST The Washington Potomacs defeated the Lincoln Giants twice on Labor Day, 8-4 and 13-9. Carr relieved pitchers in both games who had beer overcome with heat. The Potomacs are booked to play the Philadelphia Athletics on October 2 at Wilmington, Del. An effort to schedule a game for Washington between the clubs fell through on account of a football game being scheduled. POTOMACS DROP A PAIR TO BROOKLYN FARMERS BROOKLYN FARMERS New York, Sept. 1.—Playing real baseball, the Farmers—trounced the Washington, Potomac in both games of their double-header at Farmers' Oval yesterday afternoon.

Southpaw Pud Flournoy was the Giants' choice for mound duty and gave a good exhibition except that that he made a couple of the too good for Winters and Bizz Mackey, with the result that Winters drove one out of the park for the first score of the game in the third inning and Mackey duplicated the performance with a four ply smash in the eighth frame. All of the Hilltop markers were gathered single, while the Giants' lone tally came over in the seventh on Jule Thomas' walk.

This decision brings to a close very lively competition between New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore, and Washington as the place where the next "Football Classic of the Year" shall be played. It is the intention to place tickets on sale early in September, orders having already been given for printing the entire reserved sections of the American League Park, including boxes and grand-stand seats. Elaborate precautions are being taken to see that each and every patron of the game is assured the best possible treatment. Ample police protection has been promised, and in addition, sufficient ushers and ticket takers will be provided, thereby facilitating the handling of the crowd. The Howard University and Lincoln University authorities are working in exact accord that the coming game may be attended by every feature which will add greater interest and attractiveness to the game. WANT FIRST AND SECOND CLURS TO SHARE RECEIPTS The Commissioners of the Mutual Association met at the Y.M.C.A. building in Philadelphia, Saturday, August 30th. Chairman Edward Bolden, Jim Keenan, Nat C. Strong, Alex Pompez, Tom Jackson, Ben Taylor, Charlie Spedden and Colonel Strothers, comprising the entire board, composed the gathering. The matter of adjusting the schedule to take care of several postponed games in order that the quota of 70 games for each club be played out. However, the conclusion was reached and it was finally concluded that the league season would officially close September 30th. They took up the umpire situation which has been handled individually by the respective club owners in the past. Although many competent arbitrators are employed through-out the Eastern Circuit, the lack of unity, not working under direct supervision and the same umpires appearing at the same parks week after week has been the cause of general dissatisfaction and despite the efforts of owners and officials, the umpires have been branded as "homers," not in any particulair city but throughout the entire circuit. As the present season is far spent, the matter was not acted upon, but in all probability the fans will see rotating umpires in the Eastern Circuit next season. Since public sentiment has urged the playing of a World series between the winners of the East and West, the Commissioners discussed the matter and want the fans to know how they feel about the situation. To begin with, the series can be played so far as the East is concerned, providing it is run on a popular basis by which the clubs that are runners-up will share the melon as well as the pennant winners in both leagues. The present method pursued by the heads of the Western body in circulating ceaseless propoganda attempting to rattle the time-worn skeleton in the closet, will never bring the desired results. The East is mindful of its duty to the public and is waiting on business advances from the West. The Vermont Avenue nine is managed by Jack Coles. Gibson is cap tain of the aggregation. It is com posed of many youngsters. MID-NITE SHOW FRIDAY ORDER SEATS THE TEMPLE OF THE SILENT ART Phone N. 7255 7th St., at P, N.W.

FOUR FOOTBALL*RULES _ CHANGED THIS PALL As has-been the ‘ease: since: fooiball rules were so radically: changed back: in. the winter of 1905-06, when. the forward pass and 10-yard rule:were adopted, the rules-committe»made a few-alterations “in the-code:at tits. an- nual session in New York+last«win: ter. In fact four radical changes were made and all are expected to work for the best interests of the game. Rule Out Mug Tees One of the most important pointi adopted was’ the abolition of all mud or artificial kicking tees. This. rule wil laply on the kick-off and: try: fot goal from field. No tee of any! kinc will be permitted on the kick-off. ‘Th ball wilt be booted from the centes of the field land not from the 40-yar¢ line as was the ease in former years. Less Time Out In order to speed up the games, the committee made a new ruling that each team will be permitted: to cal for time ont four times in each hall without penalty. If time is called for after the fourtl occasion, a-5-rard penalty will be: in flicted instead of 2, as was the ease it former-years. = d er ey * < A Beautifal Girl Reveals Secret Once my hair was.anything but.

In-former years, the scoring team was permitted to place-the ball ‘on the opposing team’s five-yard line or any place farther back. This year the ball may be placed on the three- yard line, which is expected to encourage rushing or forward pass- ing instead of kicking, as.was the case last year. Still another change which . has cansed some confusion in the past is one pertaining to an. ineligible. player being struck by a forward pass. “If such a player is struck by the ball a member of the defending team may catch the ball sbefore’ it .strikes the ground. and be. entitled to -whatever ground: he gains. /Revolver for ‘Timer ‘The field judge or the-official who keep time will: be compelled: to carry a gun, which. he will fire. to.denote the termination of a quarter or game. It_also was.veted that no other of- ficial other than the referee carry a whistle. Members of the committee engaged in a hot debate regarding the -abolition of the rule regarding the flying tackle, which carries a five- yard penalty but it was voted to let the-rule remain in the book. ‘A number of other changes were made: in the wording of rules often saleirhameeeted.
