CIVIL SERVICE ELIGIBLES REJECTED ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR Schools to Have Record Attendance When They Open Monday First in Local Circulation. CIVIL SER Schools CERTIFIED FOR JOB,IS REFUSED BY CHIEF CLERK After having been notified by letter of her appointment to a position in the Internal Revenue Bureau, Miss Aeleen L. McGavock, of 909 R Street, Northwest, was told that the vacancy had been filled when she reported and the appointment officer saw that she was colored. Keeps Letter Miss McGavock took the civil service examination for stenographers and typists on July 1, last. She passed, making an average rating of 76.58 per cent. She was certified by the Civil Service Commission for appointment to the Internal Revenue Bureau. She was notified by letter to report at room No. 337 of the Treasury Building for an interview with I. Y. Bain, the assistant appointment clerk of this bureau. When she presented herself, Bain took the letter notifying her to call at his office, read it carefully, then looked at her and told her that the position to which she had been appointed had been filled. She asked him to return her letter. He flatly refused and referred her to the Civil Service Commission. At the time there were two white girls in the office waiting to be given jobs. When he was asked about Miss McGavock's case, Bain frankly stated that the notice to report was an appointment; but he would give no reason for his arrogance in keeping the letter which he had written her. He said that he sent her a telegram on August 15 notifying her of her appointment, but as he did not hear from her he filled the vacancy. No such telegram was received by Miss McGavock. The letter notifying her of her appointment was received by her on September 5, and she called at his office the next day. Miss McGavock comes from a prominent family in Nashville, Tenn. She is highly intelligent and the only reason she was not given the job is because of the unwritten law in the Internal Revenue Bureau that Colored persons are not to be given positions in which they would work on terms of equality with white. Southerners The Internal Revenue Bureau is honey-combed with Southerners. Bain himself comes from Alabama. David H. Blair, the commissioner of internal revenue, is a North Carolinian. They have put into practice the customs of the South in its treatment of the Negro. It is recalled that Mr. Blair blocked the appointment of Charles A. Cottrill, of Toledo, Ohio, to be a deputy collector of internal revenue in charge of the Washington office of the Baltimore district. It is said that he threatened to resign if the late President Harding insisted upon making this appointment. More recently Miss Mary C. Royster, who was employed as a stenographer in the Internal Revenue Bureau, was discharged when it was discovered that she was colored. She was later given a place in the jimcrow section of the Register's office when Congressman Tinkham threatened to institute court proceedings. MRS. CELIA BARBER ENDS LIFE IN PRISON CELL (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 18—Using her apron strings as a noose, Mrs. Celia Barber, aged 26 years, ended her life last Wednesday night by hanging in a cell in the Center avenue police station. The woman's body was found by the matron and taken to the Passavant Hospital, but physcians could not revive her. Mrs. Barber had been arrested earlier in the night by the police and lodged in the police station on a charge of disorderly conduct. The Washington Tribune GOV'T WORKERS TO HOLD MASS MEETING MONDAY AT CLEVELAND SCHOOL PALMER'S GARAGE M. M. HARRIS CO. CAPITALIZES FOR TO SELL EIGHT NEW EXPANSION NEW HOMES PUBLISHED WEEKLY SERVICE EL s to Have GOV'T WORKERS MASS MEETING AT CLEV Great has been the criticism of the salaries allowed women workers by the Reclassification Board last spring. Investigations have revealed that these criticisms are more than justified. So ridiculously low are some of the salaries allowed, that it is physically impossible for any woman to live on them. In order that some relief may be obtained, all women workers, as well as a number of male workers, will join in a co-operative movement with other Government workers and make a nation wide appeal for relief. A big meeting was held at Central High School this week by white workers. Through co-operation with the National Wage Earners Association, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is president, a monster mass meeting will be held at Cleveland School, corner Eighth and T Streets, Northwest Monday night, September 22nd. PALMER'S GARAGE CAPITALIZES FOR NEW EXPANSION Perhaps one of the largest business ventures of its kind ever organized in this city is the Palmer Motor Service, Incorporated, recently organized by a group of well known local business and professional men who propose to establish here a modern garage and service station, the same to be located at 2306-08 Georgia Ave., N.W., where PETER H. R. H. Palmer's Garage and Repair shop is now located. A unique feature of this enterprise will be the application of a cooperative plan of operation. In the near future the privilege will be granted local motorists in general to become part owners of the concern, and as such they will not only share the profits of the business but may purchase accessories and receive motor service at a liberal discount. The establishment itself will be a five-story structure containing every feature known to modern motor car service and garage construction and will occupy an area of about 19,200 square feet. It is estimated that the building will be completed sometime next spring. In discussing the plans a few days ago, Mr. Palmer, the president of the company declared that the gigantic plant will contain such departments as: general repair; complete electrical; painting; ignition; upholstery; top making; tire repairing; washing and polishing and lubricating. "The Wash-Rack," said Mr. Palmer, "will be a novelty new to Washington motorists. Twenty-five minutes is all the time that it will require to wash any make of car. This --- WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 An appeal has been issued to all government workers who are desirous of bettering their condition, to attend this meeting. The only way any relief can be obtained is for the various workers to come together. Of course if the workers are not interested enough in their own welfare to come out and organize for a fight to get better conditions, then they have no one to blame but themselves for their situation. Many prominent speakers will address the meeting including Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. Miss Burroughs is the foremost organizer and fighter for better working conditions and salary for women workers in America. She has consented to swing the full force of her organization behind the government workers. No admission will be charged. The public, especially government workers who have a salary grievance, are invited to come out. One of the most outstanding features of the week was the announcement by the Real Estate firm of Mortimer M. Harris, 613 F Street, Northwest, that their first big building project, an entire row of houses, is now ready for sale and occupancy. These houses were built by colored capitalists and is the first venture into this field taken by our business men here. The firm'of Mortimer M. Harris will have complete charge of the marketing of these houses which are located in the 2200 block of Second Street, Northwest. They are of colonial type, tapestry brick and contain eight rooms with tile bath. Other modern improvements are, concrete basements, stationary laundry trays, Pittsburgh hot water heaters, hot water heat, electric lights, jewel gas ranges and one-piece enamel sink and drain. The success of this project will no doubt stimulate further building for colored here. There is an urgent need for many more houses before the housing shortage here will be relieved. ROSCOE C. BRUCE BOLTS G. O. P FOR DAVIS The New York Times announced in its issue of Monday, the 15th, that Roscoe C. Bruce, former assistant superintendent of public schools of the District of Columbia, had bolted the Republican party for John W. Davis, giving as his reason, the stand that Mr. Davis took against the Ku Klux Klan. will be an electrically operated affair. All parts of the car will be washed at the same time, including under the motor where grease and grit will be removed." Another department yet unmentioned will be the Emergency Fleet. A call from the farthest point in the District will be answered within fifteen minutes at a cost that will scarcely exceed the cost of the job if the same were brought to the plant. Calls from any points within a radius of forty miles will be answered immediately. The officers and promoters of the Palmer Motor Service Corporation are: Robert H. Palmer, president and general manager; W. R. Wilks, secretary; John A. Hyder, treasurer; Dr. Carroll Boroks, chairman of the Board of Directors; Dr. T. Edward Jones, J. Murray Barnes, Jesse H. Foster, Dr. T. C. Smith and John R. Williams. 'BOB CHURCH IS RESTORED AS MEMBER OF STATE COMMITTEE Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 16—In an effort to placate colored voters in Tennessee, the Republican state committee has restored R. R. Church, G. Tom Taylor and their two women associates to membership on the state committee. This is a victory for the "black and tan" faction of the tenth congressional district. This action was taken at a meeting of the state committee yesterday. A subcommittee, which was appointed to make an investigation after they had been kicked off the committee, reported that the primary election in which the "lily whites" claimed to have been elected was illegal and irregular. THOS.H.R.CLARKE SPEAKS BEFORE POLITICAL RALLY A monster crowd attended the La Follette-Wheeler notification meeting last Tuesday at Masonic Temple, New York Ave., and 13th Street, N.W. A well representative number of the big crowd were colored. Mr. Thos. H. R. Clark of this city represented the colored voters on the platform. Mr. Clark's speech was well received. He told of the struggle of the Negro to get justice in this country. He reviewed the record of Senator La Follette and pointed out the many things he has done for the Negro since coming to Congress. In the contest to seat Representative Langston of Virginia and Representative Green of South Carolina, Mr. La Follette voted in each contest to seat the colored victor. The meeting was enthusiastic and was one of the largest ever held in the District. WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY HAVING TROUBLE GETTING MILITARY INSTRUCTOR (Preston News Service) Wilberforce, O.—Wilberforce University, located near Xenia, O., is having some difficulty in securing a competent professor in military science and tactics to succeed Lieut. Col. John E. Green, who has been ordered away to join his regiment at Nogales, Ariz. Baxter S. Scruggs, of Cleveland, O., regarded as a splendid orator and exponent of racial advancement, who served in France during the world war as a second Lieutenant, has asked the War Department to commission him as an officer in the reserve corps and then assign him to the professorship at Wilberforce University, but his hopes have been blasted in a letter which Senator Fees has received from Adjutant General Robert C. Davis, which says: "There is not authority of law under which Mr. Scruggs may be detailed to active duty as professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University, if appointed in the officers' reserve corps." Just who will be assigned to the professorship at Wilberforce University by the War Department has not been settled. Among those who have served in that capacity with honor and credit in recent years include: Colonel Charles Young, deceased, Major B. O. Davis, and Lieut. Col. John E. Green, all of whom have served twice of four year assignments. FEARING BROTHERS GIVEN THANKS. Fearing Brothers Electrical Company, 1015 U Street, Northwest, has been voted many thanks by the Washington fight fans for the broadcasting of the Willis-Firpo Fight last week. Hundreds of fight fans did not desire to go down town to get the returns. Through the courtesy of Fearing Brothers, they opened their store, hooked up a radio and gave a free concert to hundreds of listeners. Coolidge's Trail Blazer KEEP KOOL WITH KOOLIDGE PRIMARY RECORD PROVES ALLIANCE BETWEEN KLAN AND REPUBLICAN PARTY The nearer election day approaches, the more evident becomes the close alliance of the Ku Klux Klan and the Republican party. Nearly every week discloses some new alliance between Klan-endorsed candidates and the G. O. P. Meanwhile President Calvin Coolidge, the party chieftain, maintains his Kareful Koolness and Kaution. Other than the friendly pat on the hood by "Hell and Maria" Dawes, the Republican party has consistently avoided making any mention of the Klan. In fact, its refusal to denounce the Klan has been made in such a way as to openly endorse it and solicit its support. A survey of the primary record of the Kalvin Koolidge Controlled Republicans, will probably be more convincing that any other thing, to prove that there is a private understanding between the old party and the Klan. The following records will speak for themselves: Maine: Brewster, Klan endorsed candidate, elected Republican Governor of the state. Ohio: Davis, Republican candidate for Governor refuses to mention the Klan; Donahoe, his Democratic opponent, has denounced the Klan by name. Indiana: Jackson, Republican candidate for Governor, nominated by the Klan is now making an open bid for its support. The Republican State Committee is controlled by the Klan. Jim Watson, U. S. Senator and Old Guard leader, is recognized as spokesman for the Klan. It is alleged that the Klan sought his nomination for the Vice-Presidency in the last National Convention. Oklahoma: Hines, Republican candidate for U. S. Senate is an avowed Klansman, according to reports emanating from that state. He has the support of the Klan and in addition the support of the Republican State and National Committees. He is opposed by Jack Walton, Democrat, recognized as an avowed enemy of the Klan, by whose influence he was removed from the governorship last year. Colorado: Means, Republican candidate for U. S. Senate, was nominated with the Klan's support; and Morley, Republican candidate for Governor, was also nominated by the Klan. The Klan question has practically split the Republican state organization. In addition to the above states, many other states in the North and Office: 920 U St., N.W. COUNT ON ey Open M Trail Blazer eP WITH GE RD PROVES BETWEEN KLAN PUBLICAN PARTY West have now a fight on over the Klan and in almost every case, the G. O. P. is found to be the Klan's friend. The following facts may also be noted: The Republican National Convention which nominated Calvin Coolidge, refused to discuss the Klan at all. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States and titular head of the Republican party, has completely refused, so far, to disclose his position on the Klan. On the other hand, while the Democrat party decided not to denounce the Klan by name in its convention, this decision was reached only after a long, spirited fight and by a very close vote. United States Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Progressive candidate for the Presidency, was the first candidate to denounce the Klan specifically. His denunciation was strong and was unqualified in any way. Shortly afterwards, John W. Davis, Democratic candidate, denounced the Klan by name. His statement, like Senator LaFollette's, was strong and plain. General Dawes, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, in his famous speech in Maine, last month, justified the atrocious acts of the Klan at Herrin, Ill., and in Oklahoma. His ported attack turned out to be a mild endorsement of the Klan. The Klan issue like Banquo's ghost, just will not down. The American people, especially the Negroes, are very much interested in the Klan's activities. Therefore, because of the apparent alliance between the Klan and the G. O. P., Negro voters are today leaving the Republican party like rats leaving a sinking ship. To the Negro voter Ku Kluxism spells Koolidge. JEWS BUY EIGHT HOUSES FOR NEGRO OCCUPANCY New York City, Sept. 10—Eight five-story apartment houses, in the course of construction at 109-123 West 144th Street, have been sold by the builder, the Coogan Runkle Company, to a new concern in which D. S. Shwitzer, Samueul Shlionsky and A. Olenick are interested. It is said the new owners will complete the construction which involves a total outlay of $1,000,000. The houses are located between Lenox and Seventh avenues in the Negro section and are being built for this class of occupancy it is claimed. Washington's Best Advertising Medium.

Harrison Health School has also been designated as an eight room principalship. Mrs. B. N. McDuffie will be the principal. BARRED FROM BOY SCOUTS IN SOUTH, A. M. E.'S PERFECT OWN ORGANIZATION Nashville, Tenn.—Rev. S. S. Morris General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is busily organizing the Allen Life Guards among boys. The fact that colored boys cannot get a charter for Boy Scouts in the South has added greatly to the enthusiasm with which the Allen Life Guards have been organized. Mr. W. A. Quillian of Atlanta, Ga., has been detailed especially to organize this work. Under Dr. Morris' direction a special manual has been prepared which was adopted by the General Conference at Louisville. Special uniforms and other regalia similar to that of the Boy Scouts will be used and troops are being organized all over the country. In Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas many troops have been organized and upwards of 100,000 boys have been enrolled. Among the leaders in this movement are some of the most intelligent young men of their localities who are inspiring to the youth. This movement bids well to spread all over the country under the aggressive leadership of Dr. Morris, and with the backing of the African Methodist Episcopal Church it will do a great work. COOLIDGE-DAWES LEAGUE A rather unenthusiastic meeting was held under the auspices of the Coolidge-Dawes Republican League, the colored adjunct of the Republican State Central Committee of the District of Columbia, at the Lincoln Colonnade last Tuesday night. Perhaps the brightest spot in the meeting was the speech of Assistant United States Attorney James J. O'Leary. In the course of his remarks, he declared, "I am ashamed of the treatment that has been accorded colored Americans by the Republican party." He also said; "I know that you know better than I the history of Abraham Lincoln." Attorney Thomas L. Jones told the audience that he wanted to disabuse their minds of the delusion that the Coolidge-Dawes League was jim-crow in character. With the exception of the music by the Community Centers Band, the remainder of the program was given over to political tommyrot. Attorney R. R. Horner presided.

Zion Church Zion Church recently set aside $25,000 for Home Mission Preachers and sends out a general invitation to young men, graduating from Seminaries and otherwise prepared, to join the ranks of intensive and extensive missionary endeavor. As it is not mainly an effort to swell its won numbers but a drive for the Kingdom and for increased religious activity among the Negro race, young men and women, regardless of their Denominational training, will be acceptable. In this, the Zion Church also seeks to break selfish Denominational cleavage among us and hopes to encourage and use talent and consecrated acquisition wherever and whenever it is available. The church believes that, in this policy, both the interest of the Kingdom of Heaven and the mass formation of our racial units against discrimination and all forms of racial prejudice can best be served by discourage fellowship in religion as well divides us in vital things and encourage felolwship in religion as well as co-operation in dealing with our problems.

Nothing responds to loving, careful building up of beauty so quickly as a woman's face and hair, when treated the right way and with correct, scientific materials that feed the tissues and create a healthful, peachy skin glow and give new life and elegance to a beautiful woman's hair. Eva Summers proves this by the loviness that distinguishes her from a roomful of fine appearing women. "Any woman can have supreme beauty of face, and hair that will give her the proudest delight," she says, "for the simple investment of a very small sum of money in Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap, and a small amount of time each day applying these wonderful preparations as directed on the package." "These are all I have used and all any woman needs; these and the determination to put her beauty first and to let nothing interfere with her daily applications of Exelento Skin Beautifier, Exelento Skin Soap and Exelento Quinine Pomade." The Willing and Ready Section of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, B.Y.P.U. gave a special program Sunday evening. The program was a high class one. Mr. Sam Wilson, Arcadia, La.; Miss J. B. Penn, Dallas, Texas Miss Daisy Young and Miss E. Mack took part on the program.

Oscar Charleston Here Oscar Charleston here Sunday, September 21, Oscar Charleston's Harrisburg Giants will be the attraction at the American League park, game starting at 3:30 o'clock. As most fans well know, Charleston is our greatest ball player. He is leading the Eastern League home-run hitters with more than 30 to his credit. It will be worth the price of admission just to see him cover the outfield, and run the bases. Ping Gardner, a Washington boy, is the Giants' leading pitcher. Other stars are Fiall and Jenkins, of basketball fame and Wesley, a great first sacker. Sox Here Three Days The Batlimore Black Sox, runners-up for league pennant, will appear here three days next week, September 22, 23, 24. The Black Sox club is now captained by Beckwith, star shortstop and reputed to be one of our best men at the position. George Ford and Jud Wilson, local products, are playing the best ball of their careers. To Present Newcomers The Potomacs will present two new players, Dallard, a hard-hitting outfielder from the Philadelphia Giants and Johnson, catcher. Owens, shortstop has been recalled from Providence and is going great. In Hampton Grier, and Carr, Manager Taylor can boast of a trio of hurlers that are outshining any three on any other club in the league. To Show National's Games As an extra attraction the results of the Washington and New York club's games on the road will be flashed on the scoreboard, inning by inning. Scores of Football Cand Camps Fo (By H. Scott) The thump of the pigskin is being heard over many college football fields this week. The curtain is about to be rung up on the collegians' most worshipped sport. Among our group, football is constantly gaining followers each year. The Howard-Lincoln game has been the spotlight of past seasons but in all sports of the country one finds exceptional attractions. In fact last year other games on both Howard's and Lincoln's schedules created much excitement, despite the fact that the officials devoted most of their time to building up the "classic." Football Gains Friends The improved brand of football now being played by our college men is responsible for this increased popularity. In this writer's opinion the new era is our college football began in 1920. Howard during that fall ran rough-shod over every opponent. It was Dr. Eddie Morrison's first year at the local University and it is doubtful if any coach ever landed on a job with such abundance of promising but rather crude material. The fact that with few exceptions the complete squad of 1920 made up the varsity of the following three years, substantiates this fact. The great showing of the Howard eleven in 1920 under a new coaching system caused a number of colleges to send out calls for experienced men from Northern colleges. Lincoln dropped Pollard who the previous year devoted most of his time to pro-football. Union got Martin; Va. Normal got Watson, St. Paul landed Parker, Hampton signed Smith, Taylor went to Wiberforce and with few exceptions all sections made changes. B. T. Harvey at Morehouse was about the only major mentor to hold on. There have been many changes since, but 1924 promises to even out-do 1920 in this matter. No less than five big coaching changes are on tablet for this season. Dr. Morrison returns to Howard where he will again be assisted by Jimmy Trigg. Harold Martin leaves Union and goes to Shaw in an effort to restore the latter school to its former place among the leaders. Va. Nor- Many Local Fans to See World Series Scores of Washingtonians will journey to Baltimore, Sunday, October 5, to witness the world series clash between the Philadelphia Hildales and Kansas City Monarchs. Local fans have only had the opportunity of seeing the Eastern champions in action here once. The Monarchs have never been this far East. The work of the two Washington boys—"Nimp" Winters and "Script" Lee—against the Westerners will be carefully watched by fans here. Philadelphia is favored with the opportunity of seeing the first intersectional clash between Kansas City and Hildale Club, Friday, October 3rd and Saturday, October 4th. The clubs will battle at the Phillies Park. As there is no Sunday ball in Philadelphia, the Sunday game will be staged in Baltimore at the Black Sox Park. Special trains will run from Philadelphia to accommodate the Quaker City fans who wish to witness the Sunday combat. The previous arrangement called for two games in Chicago on October 7th and 8th, but this would be the fifth game with a remote possibility of the series being ended before the scheduled games in Kansas City. Also the arrangement left no chance for postponed or tie games to be played here prior to the departure of the clubs for the West. After finishing the three games here in the East the clubs will go to Kansas City and play the dates of October 11th, 12th, and 13th and make up for any postponed or tie games. The deciding games, if additional ones are necessary will be played in Chicago. The price of general admission will be $1.00 with box seats at $1.65. Major league umpires will handle the games both in the East and West. WINTERS IN HALL OF FAME WINTERS IN HALL OF FAME "Nimp" Winters, the former LeDroit Tiger star, and at present ace of Hildale staff, pitched the first nobit, no-run game of the Eastern Colored League. The Harrisburg Giants were his victims by the score 2 to 0. mal of Petersburg acquires the great star from Northwestern University, Sam Taylor, a Virginian and former Union athlete takes the place of Harry Graves who goes to Wilberforce to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Harry Jefferson. In the far South "Tubby". Johnson, former Fisk star, makes his football coaching debut at Clark University. Few Intersectional Affairs Few Intersectional Affairs Schedules so far announced fail to show many intersectional games. For the first time in a number of years, Morehouse remains in the South. Howard makes the trip to Columbus, Ohio to battle Wilberforce. West Virginia comes to Washington. Lincoln dropped by West Virginia meets Union in Norfolk. St. Paul scheduled for ten games, will be busy from October 4 until December 6, with probably the toughest collection of opponents of any institution. Washington in addition to being the scene of the 'classic" will be host to five other Howard opponents—A. and T. College, West Virginia, St. Paul, Va. Seminary and Hampton. Norfolk gets two big games—St. Paul-Hampton and Lincoln-Union. Baltimore will entertain the Lincoln-St. Paul warriors. Philadelphia must be contented with the Hampton-Lincoln encounter. St. Paul Must be Watched It would be hard at this time of the year to forecast the outstanding elevens. Lincoln, Hampton and St. Paul will probably suffer less through losses than any other of the C. I. A. A. members. It looks like St. Paul, beginning its second year as a member of the Association, will head the entire pack. It was stated last year that only Maddux, end, would be absent from the veteran string this fall. Coach Parker has gradually molded what was a collection of raw performers into a smooth machine. In the past two years most of the "wonder" team's defeats were by a single score. Gunn and Coleman leaves a greatly weakened Hampton defense which has not for a number of years boasted of any unusual offensive power. The presence of "Jazz" Byrd, provided he has recovered full strength of his fractured ankle, will make Lincoln dangerous. But Lincoln with Taylor. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY.

Aside from holding the visitors to two singles, Winters aided his own cause by pounding out a home run in the second inning. Dick Lundy's running grab of Santop's liner in the 7th inning was the feature play of the game. Bizz Mackey continued his slugging tactics and chalked up three safe binges for his afternoon's work.

Mr. Saunders took a special summer course at the above institution. He will have the Dunbar squad out as soon as school opens. the former Storer College athlete, may display another star ground gainer who should easily replace "Whirlwind" Johnson. "Hank" Corrothers, a Washington boy, will lead the Union eleven, at present without a coach and also slated to lose two of her best players—Miller, all-American guard who has matriculated at Howard and J. Martin, halfback, who will enter Colgate. Va. Normal loses a couple of good men, including Coles, a brainy quarterback. Question Mark for Howard Howard on paper looks extremely weak in comparison with most of the above mentioned aggregations. Doneghy, Contey, Melton and possibly Peyton will be missing in the backfield. "Bulldog" Williams has closed his glorious campaign. Anderson, Priestley, Bagley, Johnson, Long, Smith and Captain Doakes in the line and Dodson and Blackman, backs, are expected to make the newcomers hustle for berths. Kelly Perry, member of, 1920 squad is also back. Two scores of huskies reported to Coach Morrison in the spring. Practically the entire group were newcomers to Howard football. The coaches are hoping that one or two "finds" are in this lot. The apparent pre-season weakness of certain elevens only serves to balance the C. I. A. A. and other sectional teams and leads to the prediction that the greatest football year in history is here. The officiating should not fall below standard with much new blood carded to assist the veteran arbitrators. By H. Scott, Tribune Sports Editor MARY MANY FALSE STORIES OF THE BATTLE Jack Dempsey got disgusted with the battle in the seventh round. Yesterday's shoes Thursday night, you too, were disgust. You would only have had to try "right" landed on your jaw and see only the kind help of a newspaper man. Then, to see another opponent, and the "right" as helpless as an infant, you have felt like "kicking" yourself. And, folks, with those confusing stories, Wills's showing against Firpo. When it and defeated Floyd Johnson, Brenna Dempsey kiss the canvas three times in scraper. After getting a year's Wills. The day before the fight, praised an improved man. Yet, when he met a lay his glove on him, those who have fight are saying that Firpo has gone. Truth is that Firpo weighed but six pounds when he fought Dempsey. Refused to fill his training camp with this year he followed this same process through the same tactics and the same trim. Much of the bout being a wrestling show. He uses his great strength to fight. Firpo, knowing that his "right" Dempsey, believed it would work against the defensive artist that the "brown pan" even touch Wills, Firpo would aim his hand to go the limit. Wills would get it to the chin, and the referee would spit repeatedly; yet in the face of Firpo's intent interference, had the bout gone. Firpo would have been in dreamland when they fought to a finish, on skill, or able to take punishment, has grounds, unless by reason of an extra individual; not chopped up but clubbed early. Praise is due Firpo for having loved his grand condition. The "powers" decide to give Wills his day. He has deserved it. For more, he has been the champion's logical opponent's fight. Sitting in Boyle's Thief he heard it in the subways, and on the street. Thousands believe that Wills can join of the pair, leads to the belief that today. We are willing to concede this is not an established fact. He failed to sting Wills in twelve rounds to take punishment has never been years have been outrageous set-ups; the weight and skill. A beating as V. Dempsey. "Wills can't hit," you must eight inches caught Firpo on the feet. This blow came in the second and hugging. If Dempsey, finding the necessity, would resort to the same climb up would go the limit, and in New Jersey, Dempsey, although outpointed, could retweet—and we still believe that "pulled chiefly because of Wills's great poor town panther" will force Dempsey's sense as a sign of defeat. And we hope to FORD, Manager 1956 Continue DAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY—Sept. 21. ADOLPHE MENJOY ANA, JETTA GOUDAL & RAYMOND OPEN ALL NIGHT A Picture of the night life of Paris! FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Rex B thrilling drama adventures in haunts of Montreal "RECORD" YOU HEAR MANY FALSE STORIES OF THE BIG FIGHT It is reported that Jack Dempsey got disgusted with the exhibition of Wills and Firpo and left the battle in the seventh round. Yes, Readers, if you had been in Dempsey's shoes Thursday night, you too, would probably have left the arena in disgust. You would only have had to remember a year back when a mighty "right" landed on your jaw and sent you whirling out of the ring, and only the kind help of a newspaper man who pushed you back, saved your crown. Then, to see another opponent face to face with that same "right" and the "right" as helpless as an infant! Now, if in his shoes, wouldn't you have felt like "kicking" yourself? Don't be deceived, folks, with those confusing stories you read in the dailies in regard to Wills's showing against Firpo. When the latter landed here last year, met and defeated Floyd Johnson, Brennan and Willard, and proceeded to make Dempsey kiss the canvas three times in one round, he was lauded as a coming scrapper. After getting a year's experience he was matched against Wills. The day before the fight, practically all writers claimed him to be an improved man. Yet, when he met his master—Wills—and was unable to lay his glove on him, those who have to do with telling the public of the fight are saying that Firpo has gone, back; was out of condition, etc. The truth is that Firpo weighed but six pounds more Thursday, than he did when he fought Dempsey. Last year he refused to fill his training camp with a gang of white Americans, and this year he followed this same procedure, managed his own training, and went through the same tactics and there is no doubt but that he was in perfect trim. You have read much of the bout being a wrestling affair. Wills's best punches are body blows. He uses his great strength to advantage and is a master at close fighting. Firpo, knowing that his "right" had been successful against Dempsey, believed it would work against Wills. But Dempsey will never be the defensive artist that the "brown panther" is. Finding that he could not even touch Wills, Firpo would aim his right, miss and then proceed to hug, hoping to go the limit. Wills would get in one or two kidney blows, or a punch to the chin, and the referee would split them. The same scene was re-enacted repeatedly; yet in the face of Firpo's tactics and the referee's too frequent interference, had the bout gone fifteen rounds, the writer believes that Firpo would have been in dreamland—actually beaten down. In the old days when they fought to a finish, most of them went from fifteen rounds on. A fighter of any skill, or able to take punishment, has no business taking the count in a few rounds, unless by reason of an extraordinary blow. Firpo was a badly beaten individual; not chopped up but clubbed so that welts and bruises showed clearly. Praise is due Firpo for having taken a lot of punishment—which proved his grand condition. Whether or not the "powers" decide to give Wills his chance at Dempsey, we are unable to say. He has deserved it. For more than five years the "brown panther" has been the champion's logical opponent. The public wants the Wills-Dempsey fight. Sitting in Boyle's Thirty Acres we heard it on all sides. We heard it in the subways, and on the corners in Jersey City and New York. Thousands believe that Wills can beat the champion. What we have seen of the pair, leads to the belief that Wills is the best fighter in the world, today. We are willing to concede that Dempsey has a harder punch, although this is not an established fact. Firpo, too, was a hard hitter. Yet he failed to sting Wills in twelve rounds. Dempsey's ability to take punishment has never been tested. The men he has faced in late years have been outrageous set-ups; the most of them out of their class in weight and skill. A beating such as Wills gave Firpo we believe would end Dempsey. "Wills can't hit," you might hear. A blow that traveled about eight inches caught Firpo on the chin in the second round and down he went. This blow came in the second round before Firpo began his running and hugging. If Dempsey, finding that he couldn't penetrate Wills's cleverness, would resort to the same clinching game as did Firpo, then the scrap would go the limit; and in New Jersey, where decisions are not allowed, Dempsey, although outpointed, could retain his title. However, if they ever meet—and we still believe that "public sentiment" will force the meeting chiefly because of Wills's great popularity—it is our belief that the "brown panther" will force Dempsey's seconds to throw the sponge in the ring as a sign of defeat. And we hope to be there. REPUBLIC SPECIAL BARGAIN MATINEE Admission 10 Cents 3 to 5 p.m. (Except Sundays and Holidays) On Mechanical Dent EARN FROM $35.00 to $125.00 per week months' course.

Let there be no mistake about this fact. Our first duty is to protect ourselves. At present we are Jim-crowed from the House of Representatives at Washington in the common acceptance of that term. We have no one but ourselves to blame. We have the vote in the North and the power which that vote wields. We are dumb driven cattle, deserving the favor of no man, if we do not cast our vote where it will do the most good." This is a commendable position to take. In fact it is the only logical and sensible one. The American is correct, we have no one to blame but ourselves. There is no reason under the sun why we should not have a candidate for the House, in the First district of Illinois. The only reason that we have not is because the Uncle Toms have sold out to Madden and then tell their gullible followers that, "this is not the time to run for Congress." Those "who would be free, themselves must strike the blow." No appointive office will give us the influence, the power, the courage, nor appeal to our pride like an elective office will. No man can represent us as we can represent ourselves. We have too long, been seeking Santa Claus, to bestow upon us gifts of office, when we have the power of the ballot with which to present the office to ourselves. We must strike the blow with our ballots that will free us from political stevedores and political slavery. The Negro that will tell his people that it is not time to become a candidate for an elective office is simply the cat's paw of some self-seeking politician who is seeking to ride into office on the wave of our ballots. Chicago, St. Louis, and New York City should have Negro candidates for Congress; if not on one of the regular political lists, then we should make an independent race for ourselves. THE DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOLS The public schools of the District will open Monday, September 22nd. All parents with children of school age, should avail themselves of this opportunity and send the children to school on the first day, and see that they go every day thereafter, as long as they are physically able. Education, real, serviceable education, is in big demand and will continue to grow in importance year by year. As evidence, if evidence is needed, of the value of the fundamentals of education and the importance of secondary and college training, the professional schools everywhere are raising their standards of requirements for matriculation. Both law and medical schools now require two years of college work before admission to the freshman class. The public schools of the District, while not the best in the land, nor even up to the standard that the expenditure of money should warrant, are far better than our children have in a number of cities and states. There are decided advantages for the children who live in Washington. One of the advantages that is not enjoyed by the children of many other cities is the item of free books and supplies furnished by the District. Although the histories are ancient, the geographies antiquated and thousands of the books in a dilapidated and unsanitary condition, it is a wonderful help to a poor family with four, five, or more children not to have to purchase books for all of the children. Another advantage is the high school system of the District. When we realize that most of the children of our group live in the Southern states and that there are less than 40 so-called public high schools in all those states, we can better appreciate the free high schools—which are really high schools—here. One other advantage offered the school children of Washington that is hard to match in any other city, is the excellent opportunity for supplementary work outside of the schools. There are the various libraries, the museums, the Zoological Park with its many animals, and the Botanical Gardens. As poor people, we are very much in need of all the educational advantages that this city offers. As parents we should see that our children co-ordinate their school work with the outside opportunities. Society is moving at a rapid pace. We are in need of the proper training so as to enhance our knowledge and give us a better and more progressive contact with this fast moving age. Mind is the controlling agency in the world today and will remain so. The well trained, well balanced mind in man makes him superior to other animals and the leader of his fellowmen. Therefore, parents, see to it that your children are given the best possible training and development. You are responsible for the training or lack of training of your children. If you have the least spark of pride in your children, see that they have the proper training to develop into a well rounded life. Send the children to school. GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION AND SEGREGATION Possibly the most exasperating evil from which the colored people of this country suffer is discrimination and segregation in the employment of this Government of ours. It seems very hard to make the people outside of Washington realize that there is such rank discrimination and segregation by the present Republican administration. Un-American and unjustifiable segregation exists in practically every department of the Government here in Washington. In addition to the wholesale segregation in the departments, there is the application of the principles of the Ku Klux Klan to the colored applicants by the Civil Service Commission and the appointment clerks of the various divisions and bureaus. Here is where the rankest of discrimination takes place. First, by requirement of a photograph with application for examination; and second, after the applicant has passed that outer defense there is the main obstruction—the petty, cheap, niggardly assistant appointment clerk, who, by instruction or assumed authority, arbitrarily turns down a colored applicant after he or she has passed the examinations, been duly certified by the Civil Service Commission and actually received notice, by letter, to report for duty. Our economic and property rights are involved in this rank discrimination and a court test should be made to prove our equity in the matter. During the war, we were conscripted according to our population, to fight to maintain, or rather to make, this country as well as the World safe for Democracy. We demand the right to employment in the departments of our Government in the same proportion as she conscripted us to fight. If we were employed in proportion to our numbers, we would have forty thousand Negroes in lucrative government employment now, where we have not four Something of Interest By I. L. PARKER The Third Party Label. America. Law K. O's Justice Quite a bit of ire has been caused by the label La Follette has given the third party. Forty-eight sleeping Bull Moose have been aroused to conspicuous indignation by reason of La Follette's appropriating the label "Progressive" for his "personally-conducted radical party." They consider it extraordinary effrontery that the Wisconsin Senator should try to liken his movement in any way with the movement led twelve years ago by Colonel Roosevelt. A. B. These same Bull Moose could tolerate the conduct of Fall, Denby, Forbes, Daugherty; suffer the ruthless Fordney-McCumber act and the un-American Ku Klux Klan; but they can not welcome the idea of La Follette's stealing a word. We are unable to find grounds for the accusation. After serving seven and one-half years as President of the United States, Roosevelt left no great constructive statute as an enduring record of his service. Yet he is acclaimed the champion of the Progressive movement which sprang up in the summer of 1911. In reality it was a veil behind which the Powers-that-be could continue their corruption, profiteering, and patrioteering. Mr. La Follette could have been a factor in the Progressive movement of 1912. The Taft Administration was so disappointing that before it was half through, progressive Republicans gagged at the thought of his renomination. La Follette, recognized as leader of the anti-Taft movement, was considered the man who should be put against Taft at the national convention of 1912. Roosevelt and his friends assured La Follette that there would be no interference. Yet, as soon as Roosevelt realized that Taft could be defeated, he placed his hat in the ring and threw everybody into a quandary. It was then that La Follette pitched his tent, did everything he could to prevent Roosevelt's nomination in the Republican National Convention, and withheld his support from the Roosevelt-Johnson third party ticket; for, he recognized the sinister means by which the Bull Moose intended to become beneficiaries of the dissatisfaction within the Republican party with Mr. Taft's policies. He and his thirty-six pledged supporters were isolated at the convention, passions were aroused against him during the war, yet he has steadily grown in political significance and power since. He has shown himself to be a real American, antagonizing an Administration more corrupt and more reactionary than the Taft administration against which the Bull Moose rebelled. He has shown that the label Progressive is far more appropriate for the party that he personally conducts—to keep out tools of big finance than for the Bull Moose who have no real use for progressiveism. Slowly but surely the public is catching up with him. Politicians have tuned up and have begun their song in the great quadrennial din. Little will be heard from sensible people until the noise is over. Genuine is our confidence in America. Yet we can not believe that her prestige can be enhanced by lynchings, segregation, and discrimination. Nor are we thrown into spasms of terror at the thought of Japanese or European immigration. A better racial relationship, a better immigration system we desire—one which will permit the transplanted persons to take root and grow in a new environment, a new country, instead of being handled for the sole purpose of furnishing a "labor surplus." Our confidence in America will not allow us to see and to feel as do our politicians. "America has the greatest and most perfect human stock," says the politicians, "and it is our purpose to keep it from deteriorating through contamination with undesirable peoples. Whites must reign supreme." Such is not the attitude of the thinker—the solver of problems. America! There are two ways in which to employ this word. One is the way of the romanticist. The other is the way of the realist. It is the realist who will gather all the data he can and do his best to make America "safe for democracy." America wealthy? Yes. And because of it she is not greatly hindered by fears. Yet she does not rank high among nations in the amiable characteristics of generosity, kindliness, and personal good will. The lack of these characteristics is caused by our politics and has no real constructive value in the shaping of destiny. The song of the politician is but a noise by which something may be hid. Laws have no place in the mind of the average American, nor does he care to have them enforced so long as they do not affect him, personally. Then he insists on them in a fury of patriotic hysteria: but once passed, little is thought of them. They are but ways of speaking his mind. America! The land in which laws are made and broken so rapidly that all the world is put to shame. It is a great game which causes almost as much excitement as does a baseball game. We do not follow baseball in winter, nor do we care what becomes of the laws after the political season is over. America! The land of ten thousand murders for 1923 and no indication for a let up; in spite of the fact that capital punishment is the penalty against it in all the States. The two most widely accepted theories of the cause of murder are (1) that alcohol produces murderers, and (2) that foreigners commit them. We have passed a law against alcohol, we have passed a law limiting immigration. Yet, the murder rate for 1923 is just twenty-five times as high as the rate in England and Wales, where Prohibition has so far failed to get beyond the stage of ridicule, and three times as high as the rate per population in Italy, land of the Black Hand and no capital punishment. We have almost no radical movement, no social movement, no revolutionary labor group in America; but we do have politics and crime. * * * * * * Justice took the count at the hands of her bastard daughter, Law. Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, two of the most infamous and fiendish murderers in the history of jurisprudence, Wednesday of last week walked laughingly from the courtroom of Judge John R. Caverly, safe for all time from the electric chair to which Justice would have sent them. If they did not deserve death because of their youth, why should any other Illinois murderer who is a minor be sentenced to death? Youth was the immediate, determining factor in evoking clemency on their behalf from Judge Caverly. If a milder penalty will be prompt, certain, deterrent, and actually protect society, no matter what the deliberation and atrocity of the crime, then why thousand at present. As poor people this economic discrimination against us by our supposed friends, the Republicans, cannot be remedied by a few individual political appointments as yesteryear. We will not permit our political stevedores to sell our rights, as native citizens of this country, to un-discriminated employment by our government, for a few appointments for the political hacks, leaving the masses untouched, non-benefited and unemployed. We demand the abandonment of segregation by the Republican party and the elimination of discrimination in the employment of our people in the various governmental departments. We can back up these demands with our ballots and defeat the highhanded politicians who ignore them. Let's be men; and after making our demands, back them up with action at the polls that will command respect for our voting power in the future.

MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams VIOLIN STUDY BY WESLEY I. HOWARD Paganiini. Some use two or three other bokos between Rode and Paganiini, but it is generally agreed that after the first book, Kayser and the other books named are the shortest route to Paganiini, whose capcaries are the last thing in violin etudes. (continued from last week) RIGHT HAND TECHNIC Like the left hand, the bow may be fully developed, after the first few lessons by the use of scales and arpeggios. The bow is to be divided into eight equal parts. Right hand technic means a complete understanding and mastery of the eight parts of the bow, either individually or collectively. There are hundreds of ways of bowing a single exercise in one position and on one string. If the student will simply bow each one of the many scalse and arpeggios mentioned in the study of left hand technic, in a different manner he will be a master of the bow by the time he masters the left hand. (to be continued next week) ANNOUNCEMENT On Monday, September 22nd, the Fall Term of the Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression will begin. Mr. W. E. Lew and Mr. E. Miner have been added to the faculty and they will very likely add a great deal to the very thorough work done at the conservatory. Miss Muse has just returned from her Summer's work and is now ready with many new and advanced ideas to help make the voice department of which she is the head, all that is to be desired. Since all tones except pizzicato are produced by the bow, the best players are usually those who can best manipulate the bow. Usually, it is not any particular mowing but a combination of different bowings that gives players trouble. An exhaustive study of the bow is greater and more difficult than that of the fingers but the difficulty is partly overcome in the study of etudes. Mrs. Marshall has come from Haiti and will be here to add impetus to the work, while Mrs. Williams, teacher of elocution, who was so severely injured is now ready to start her classes. Mr. Pinn' and Miss Lott have been at the Conservatory during the summer and now are ready to take up the task of Fall work. A class in sight-singing to help develop singers and sight-readers for the local churches is to be started and very pleasing results are looked for and in fact much advanced interest has been shown in the work. Etudes give the violinist an opportunity to develop what he learns in scales, arpeggios and bowings. The best fingerings are carefully marked and the best bowings are selected. Whole exercises are often used to develop a particular style of bowing. It is in etudes that the student learns to overcome combined difficulties of bow and fingers. To Mrs. Emma Lee Williams and Husband The Music Forum begs to express the sympathy of fellow-musicians in your late misfortune in an auto mishap which we all regret and further express to you our sincere pleasure in your rapid recovery to good health again, wishing you both many more years in usefulness, health and happiness. Tho' tardy, accept our sympathy. (Editor). There are scores of etude books for them but the best teachers in most conservatories of fame have agreed upon about ten books, containing some three hundred etudes or caprices, as the indispensable material for proper education in violin. They are Kayser, Mazas, Kreutzer, Fiorillo, Rode, Campagnoli, Gaviniee, Beriot, Rovelli, and the sympathy of fellow-musicians in your late misfortune in an auto misappl which we all regret and further express to you our sincere pleasure in your rapid recovery to good health, wishing you both many more years in usefulness, health and happiness. Tho' tardy, accept our sympathy. (Editor). not grant the demand for clemency on behalf of Bernard Grant, the boy murderer who is now under a death sentence in an Illinois jail, whether defended by an elaborate legal staff with a background of sensational publicity, or defended obscurely for meager counsel fees or even, by court assignment, at the expense of the State? No twenty-first birthday distinction in murderous intent or responsibility is embodied in the law itself, nor is there one of wealth. But no millionaire, no millionaire's son has ever been punished with death for murder in this country and never will so long as Wealth can make Law knockout her mother. Justice. May we have a clearer recognition, the country over, that law must be impartial and dispassionate, even-handed and constant, beyond fear or favor. One justice for all, without variation or shadow of turning. The Talk of the Town "SLIM'S NEW STAND" I am now located at 1326 U Street, N.W. Prepared to give you that shine that made me famous, and serve you all the papers as well as your favorite smokes. SLIM'S FAMOUS SHINE & PERIODICAL STAND 1326 U Street, N.W. While They Were Dancing Around By Jay Bee The Murray Casino, the popular dance salon with its mirror-like floor and other additional innovations, has put on its Fall dress. Various clubs and organizations are keeping the booking agent quite busy arranging dates, though it is stated that a number of good dates are still open for the coming season. G. Frank Jones' Monday night dance was a jam-up affair. An orderly crowd of "corn crackers" tripped gayly to the "jazzonious" tunes of the Black Paul White (Bros.) man band which is still playing "big league" jazz. The Defense Day Dance at the Colonande was only fairly attended due possibly to ineffective publicity. It was given for a worthy cause and should have been more liberally attended. Shrimp Collins, the little dance wizard set the fashionable Wednesday matinee in motion last Wednesday at the Murray Casino. Dame Fashion was there in all her glory. The sheiks and shebas really pulled off a regular big-time Fashion revue. The Raving Wonder Frolic, one of the season's most clever creations, continues to draw heavily every Thursday night at the Casino. Another group of valuable prizes were awarded to the following: Misses Dorothy Thomas, Catherine Clawton, Ruth Gatewood, Mary Shirley, Alice Smith, Mary Ford, Florine Lucas and Messrs. Fred Anderson, John Tracey, James Holloway and Sam Bush. Sam Taylor, the popular south-side piano picker was twenty-nine years old last Monday. Believe it or not. As the writer passed the residence of Miss Maggie Robinson, 3rd and F Streets, Southwest, he heard music that sounded very much like the weird notes of Sam's band. Upon investigating, it was discovered that a flock of Sam's buddies, most of them members of the Royal Pleasure club, were springing a surprise stag party in his honor. Sam left the scene with his Maxwell well filled with many useful gifts. Sam Taylor vs. White Bros. will be the line-up of a proposed musical bout at the Casino each and every Saturday evening, beginning Saturday September 20th.

Mr. Richard Smith was given a surprise birthday party by his wife and sister on Monday evening at his residence, 905 Oronoco Street. An enjoyable evening was spent, music and dancing being the features of the evening. A delightful menu was served. Mr. Bryant entertained at a stag given at the residence of Wilrow Martin, 1313 Queen Street, last Wednesday. The evening was spent in playing cards, a contest being held to decide the champions of the evening. Those winning the honors were J. Byron Hopkins, Jr., and Wilrow K. Martin. The guests present were: Wilrow Martin, Elbert Norton, Wallace Strange, William Skinner, Bernard Wright, Norris Hopkins and J. Byron Hopkins, Jr. Mrs. Emma Martin served the guests. Rev. Julius L. Taylor of Richmond, the assistant archdeacon of the Virginia Diocese, conducted services at Meade Chapel last Wednesday night and one candidate was baptized by him. The deacon was assisted by Rev. I. I. McDonald. Rev. Taylor is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Tancil of Prince Street. The reception which was to have been given by the Bannaker Social Club and which was postponed from September 9 to 16, failed to mature on the latter date due to the non-appearance of the orchestra. The officials of the club offer apologies to the public for this state of affairs over which they had no control.

Mr. Downing of Howard University who coached the Roamers several seasons ago will again take over the coaching of the team. Players are urgently requested to be prompt. Wear togs. The carnival held on the playgrounds the nights of September 10, to 12, was a success considering the inclement weather. The committee wishes to thank the merchants and patrons for various contributions made and for the cooperation in every way that helped to make the affair a success. The beautiful booths, the music and bright lights made the playgrounds a mecca for the pleasure-seeking younger members of the city. The first game of the series for the championship of Alexandria which is being played by the All-Stars and the Lafayettes, Sr., started off with a 10 to 1 victory for the Lafayettes.

WARSAW ILLINOIS Send for a book telling how to care of the hair. ham, Broadus and Comet Jones worked for the All-Stars. The second game of the series will be played on the Lafayette diamond Sunday at 3 p.m. The probable pitcher for the Lafayettes will be John Harris and for the All-Stars Broadus Beckham. At the Lafayette-All-Star game it was easily and readily seen that Alexandria has more "back-door" fans than any city in the United States. This is surely a reflection on the poor sportsmanship and cheapness of our baseball-loving fans. Out of several hundred "spectators" only a few score of men paid the small sum of thirty-five cents to see their home boys perform. I would like for some of these freeby fans to kindly tell me how they expect their teams to exist. If they did not want to see the game why didn't they stay home instead of finding some strategic positions as the distant center-field and railroad tracks to view the game. Don't let thirty-five cents gag you, men, come forward and be sports. Help the teams to buy balls, pay for the park, pay the umpire, printing and numerous expenses that are incurred. BOOST, MEN, BOOST! IT'S NOT THE TEAM, IT'S YOU. FREQERICKSBURG.
