D Harrowing Victims To Much Suf "READY TO EAT DOG MEAT," ONE REFUGEE STATES (By a Refugee) Editor's note; Written in the heart of the flood district by a Premier News Service reporter who is now a refugee in Vicksburg, Miss. Refugees Under Guard I look daily from my window and watch boat after boat as they come laden with cargoes of starving and sweating humanity to be formed into lines and marched to Red Cross headquarters, there to be registered, loaded into trucks, and hauled to the various camps, there to be kept under strict military rule. I have not as yet seen the tented city. The refugees' camp is located in the National Military Park which is well guarded, no one being permitted to enter without a special permit.

Mason, a Howard University dental school graduate, 1622 New Jersey avenue, an absolute divorce from Alice I. Mason, 941 Florida avenue, northwest. The decree was based upon evidence that Mrs. Mason had misconducted herself with Luther Tinsley, 2353 Sherman avenue, in the month of November, 1925. Testimony at the trial showed that Dr. Mason had kept company with Alice while he was a student at Howard, and she was only 15 years of age. She testified that she submitted to improper proposals made by him and as a result a child was born to her December 1, 1923. He disputed the paternity of this child. Dr. Mason refused to marry her until the grand jury returned a verdict charging him with carnal knowledge. At the time he was threatened with expulsion from the dental school. Married in 1924 The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Emory Smith, alumni secretary of Howard University, April 7, 1924. After the marriage Dr. Mason refused to live with her, Mrs. Mason testified, but persuaded her to write letters to persons whose names he furnished her stating he was not the father of her child. For doing this he promised to provide a home for her and the child in Baltimore, Md., where he opened dental offices. After she had written these letters, Mrs. Mason stated, her husband did not keep his promise and would not provide any support for her and her child. He was indicted for non-support and had to pay through the office of the United States attorney money for the support of her and her child. Dr. Mason was represented by Attorneys Bertrand Emerson, Jr., and Joseph D. Kelly. Better and More Than "Nigge A Battle Between Daughter.

ARMSTRONG'S 2ND BATTALION WINS IN DRILL A crowd of approximately 800 persons witnessed the Third Annual Battalion competition of High School Cadets held at the Howard University Stadium yesterday. The Second Battalion, of Armstrong, was decided winner. First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson was among other notables who observed one of the best exhibitions of competitive battalion drilling ever staged in Washington. The Second Battalion under the leadership of Major Clifton Davis won the judges' decision. Companies C, D, and G, all of Armstrong, made the roster of the prize battalion. These units were headed by Captain L. Berry, G. Barringer, and R. Forbes, respectively. A short program of close order. and setting-up exercises was the order of the program each battalion followed. FEDERATION OF WOMEN TO AID FLOOD VICTIMS The monthly meeting of the Federation of Republican Colored Women's Clubs of the District of Columbia, was held last night, at their headquarters.

Thrilling Story er Heaven" n Mother and Blame? Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY leads C es of Flood an Refugee; flood Area PROF. HAWKINS RETURNS FROM FLOOD DISTRICT "The most dire situation I have seen in my life," is the description offered by John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, on his return this week from a trip to the area affected by the Mississippi flood waters. Mr. Hawkins with Reverend S. J. Johnson, secretary of the Extension Board, was sent last week by the A. M. E. Church with an appropriation of $10,000 to the inundated section with instructions to use it as best they could to give succor to the unfortunate. According to the report of the financial secretary, the newspaper accounts have, by no means, exaggerated the state of affairs in the flooded area. His trip through Memphis, Jackson, Yazoo City, Vicksburg, and Helena found conditions almost identical. Negro Refugees Many School houses, churches, meeting houses and office buildings throughout the entire valley have been turned into refuge camps. Eighty percent of the people at these camps are Negroes. Red Cross city, and governmental officials are, according to Mr. Hawkins' observances, doing heroic work in an effort to relieve as greatly as possible, the amount of suffering. Especially impressive is the progress the Red Cross society is making. They have set up tent cities, kitchens, and commissaries where the refugees are carefully watched over. While all of the unfortunate victims are not provided with the best of sleeping accommodations, everyone is sufficiently fed. Mr. Hawkins states that local posts have been established in each of the cities he and his associate visited, and through these the A. M. E. officials expect to be kept in constant contact with the state of affairs. Of the appropriation money, $200 was given the Red Cross and the rest was divided between the various relief agencies. TWELVE HUNDRED PEOPLE SEE SHAW JUNIOR PLAY Twelve hundred people were present last Saturday night in the Dunbar High school auditorium to greet the Shaw Junior High School Players in their rendition of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" with a musical score by Mendelssohn.

Through Aaron E. Malone's acceptance of a cash settlement, the Poro College receivership suit, involving the million dollar establishment, has been dismissed, and the business has been returned to its owner, Mrs. Malone, by court order, after being in the hands of a temporary receiver since January 13. The divorce suit, filed by Mr. Malone at the same time as the receivership suit, is still pending. The amount accepted by Mr. Malone in settlement was not made known, but it is said to include both cash and real estate. The agreement was reached by the principals on Monday, May 9. The filing of the suits on January 13 came as the culmination of numerous rumors that Mr. and Mrs. Malone were estranged and on the verge of divorce. In his petition for divorce, Mr. Malone stated that he was married to Mrs. Malone, April 28, 1914, and that they separated February, 1925. That is, it was about that time that she had his clothing and effects removed from his apartment, and had the locks changed on the door to make sure that he could not get in. In the meantime, it was cited, the locks on the library were also changed, all to his great humiliation and embarrassment. Receiver Appointed In the receivership suit, Mr. Malone asked that the affairs of Poro College be wound up and that the assets be divided equally between Mrs. Malone and himself. Mrs. Malone was restrained from disposing of any of the assets or business property until the case could be settled. A temporary receiver was appointed, the court naming Conrad Paeban, white, to the post. Later, S. E. Garner, a member of the Missouri bar, was named attorney for the receiver by the court, after the colored citizens of St. Louis had sent numerous requests that one of their own number be appointed. Mr. Malone, at present, is said to be recovering from a lapse into insanity, though the truth of this rumor has not been verified. It is known, however, that he leaped from a window in St. Louis on April 4. This act was accounted for in several ways—some saying he had become insane, some saying threats had been made on his life, and one rumor stating that he was in bed with another man's wife. Whether he has really become insane and feels unfit to continue to fight the case, or whether a larger cash settlement than the last offer of $200,000 which rumor says Mrs. Malone offered to him, has been made to him, has not been ascertained.

LOCAL PYTHIANS WIN IN FIGHT TO CONTROL TEMPLE; SPIRIT SHOWN "AN ODD TRIANGLE" By Roscoe Conkling Bruce, former Assistant Superintendent of Public Schools of District of Columbia Will begin in this paper, May 20 MAN WHO KILLED SWEETHEART TO BE PUT IN CHAIR After deliberating only 40 minutes a jury with two women jurors on it returned a verdict of first degree murder late Tuesday after 1.10am against Malcomb Howard for the fatal shooting of Jessie Nelson, his sweetheart, at 2351 Sherman avenue, northwest, February 4. The verdict carries with it the death penalty. The woman was shot and killed in her home. For three days afterward police combed the city for Howard while he was sleeping in vacant houses and rambling the streets. On the day of the inquest, February 2, he visited the morgue twice, being given permission on his second trip to see his victim, whom he told the morgue master was his cousin. He kissed her lips while she lay cold and unclaimed on the marble slab. He then began looking for Detective Dennis J. Murphy of the seventh precnict. On February 8 Murphy was communicated with and went to 930 O street, northwest. After identifying himself he was admitted and Howard surrendered, telling the detective that he liked him and wanted him to make the arrest. JACKSON MAY BE FIRST TO SIT IN ELECTRIC CHAIR TO ASK COURT TO PASS ON JACKSON'S SANITY The District Supreme Court will be asked to inquire into the mental condition of Philip Jackson, who is under sentence to be electrocuted Friday, July 1, for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18. Attorney John H. Wilson, who defended Jackson by assignment of the court, declared Monday that he does not believe the convicted man is of sound mind. He said that he would petition the court to determine the sanity of Jackson before the law exacts the death penalty. Jackson is 30 years of age, evidently of a moron type. He is of low intelligence, practically illiterate, being barely able to sign his name. On the witness stand he appeared stupid in testifying in his own behalf. The date for his execution was fixed by Justice A. A. Hoehling, who presided at the trial. A motion for a new trial on the ground of improper conduct by Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins in referring to Jackson in the course of his argument to the jury as "a brute" was first overruled by Justice Hoehling. Attorney Wilson noted an appeal and asked the court to grant him (Continued on page 6) OFFICE: 920 U STREET, N.W.

HELD John Holt was indicted by the grand jury Monday week charged of second degree murder in connection with the death of Ernest Gibson on April 10. Ernest Gibson was stabbed over the heart in front of 1539 Fourth street, northwest, following an argument over a dice game, April 7. Holt, who was a waiter on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, went out on his run the next morning. He was arrested in Jersey City, N. J., and returned here. The wounded man was rushed to Freedmen's hospital. Dr. T. Edward Jones, resident assistant surgeon, made a desperate effort to save his life, performing an operation upon his heart. Two ribs cut in order to expose the heart and afford working space. The left lung and the heart were found bleeding. The lung had shrunk and the lung sac filled with blood. This was drained off and between heart beats two stitches were taken in the pericardium. Dr. S. L. Carson assisted in the operation. The operation was completed in 1b minutes. Gibson regained consciousness within 2 hours. It was thought that he would recover. An infection developed as a result of the stab wound and he died 52 hours after the operation had been performed. At the inquest the coroner complimented Dr. Jones upon the skillful manner in which the operation had been performed. HISTORY OF WASHINGTON N ODD Joe Conkling will begin in U STREET, N.W. May Get 20 Years POLICE GEORGE DAVIS, Washington policeman, held for the murder of Mrs. Desdemona Dudley GOV'T ACCEPTS PLEA IN LIEU OF TRYING CASE Former Policeman George Sheridan Davis, murderer of Mrs. Desdemona B. Dudley, wife of S. H. Dudley, well known sportsman and theatrical magnate, was permitted to plead guilty to murder in the second degree in Criminal Court No. 2, Thursday, May 12, with Justice Hitz, presiding. With the accepting of a plea of second degree murder, the court remanded Davis to jail to await sentence, which, according to the District law may run from 20 years to life imprisonment. Davis had been indicted on a charge of murder in the first degree and the case was scheduled to come up for the trial next Monday. The accepting of the plea oviates the necessity of a trila. He will possibly be sentenced within the next two weeks. On Tuesday, September 21, 1926, George Davis shot and killed Mrs. Desdemonia B. Dudley and shot himself in an attempted suicide. The tragedy occurred in apartment six of the Dudley apartments, 1316 U street, northwest. At the time of the shooting, Davis was attached to No. 2 precinct police station. He had been named as correspondent in a suit for an absolute divorce by S. H. Dudley in May, 1926. The Dudleys, however, has effected a reconciliation the week Dudley had just moved into the before the shooting, and Mrs. apartment occupied by her husband since their separation.

Ramsay Nevitt last Tuesday resulted in the exoneration of Martin V. Flaherty, 26, white, of 1125 Eighth street, northeast, for the death of Eugene Sullivan, alias, James Monroe 38, 1114 Bladensburg road, northeast. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Sullivan was severely burned when his clothing was ignited by a lighted gasoline torch in the garage of Flaherty on May 5. He died in Casuality hospital last Monday. The star witness for Flaherty at the inquest was Policeman John O. Patton, who investigated the case and arrested Flaherty. The story he told on the witness stand was different from the incidental report he made to the ninth precinct police station. In the incidental reports he said that Sullivan's clothing was ignited by a thrown gasoline torch. At the inquest he testified that Flaherty told him at the time of his investigation that he and Sullivan got into an altercation and in a tussle, the lighted gasoline torch fell on Sullivan from off an automobile. Changes Story The officer stated that Sullivan had told him at the hospital that he did not want to prosecute Flaherty since he had no business in his garage. This story differed from that of a fellow officer and the testimony of two sisters of the dead man. Policeman F. L. Reinhardt also of the ninth precinct testified that Flaherty had told policemen that he threw he lighted gasoline torch at Sullivan. Edith and Lillian Sullivan, sisters of the dead man, said that they had visited their brother last Saturday evening and he told them that Flaherty had thrown the torch igniting his clothing. A "green" assisatnt United States Attorney for the District of Columbia sat in at the inquest but failed to ask one question to develop the evidence. Attorneys Bertrand Emerson, Jr., and Joseph D. Kelly represented Flaherty.

Liberal Progressive Independent SEGREGATION AND INTER- The question of the segregation of races is pressing more and more upon public attention throughout the world. It began as a major historical fact in the Middle Ages with the compulsory requirement that the Jews should live in such quarters and sections of cities and in such districts of countries as the constituted authorities assigned to them. This led logically and inevitably to excluding them from practically all of the more important occupations, employments and professions, and to confining them to certain specified trades and services. Slavery in the United States had as one of its incidents the segregation of the Negro. There were "the Negro quarters," there were the separate seats in churches for Negro communicants, there was separation in travel; and out of it all grew up a code of "black laws." The present segregation of Negroes in residential areas, which Professor Kelly Miller views with detached interest and unconcern—if not satisfaction—is the survival of the residential segregation incident to the institution of chattel slavery. The immigration laws of the United States by excluding all Asiatics, and by establishing the quota system of admission of aliens as to European nations, are a form of segregation on an international scale. The matter of these immigration laws has been called to the attention of the Economic Conference at Geneva, Switzerland. The international mind conceives that segregation, internationally practiced, is a handicap to economic stability, development and well being. The Negro in the United States, who alone of all the elements of our national population is sought to be segregated in living and working conditions, should be alive to these international developments. When the public opinion the rest of the world becomes aroused to the wrong and injustice of segregation, the United States will sit up and take notice. LYNCHINGS AND NEGROPHOBIA Arkansas has returned to the ranks of the lynchers and mob murderers after a short vacation spent in observing in part, law and order. The victim was a Negro; the alleged offense, criminal assault on white women; the evidence, confession of the offender and identification by the victims. At least, that epitomizes the Associated Press account, which has become the standard, stereotyped and approved form of broadcasting such occurrences. This from of narrative is so sinister and subtle that it carries concealed in the statement of alleged facts, a justification and vindication of the mob's action. No careful, prudent person can read the Associated Press accounts of the lynching of Negroes, and escape the conclusion that they are written according to a fixed and foreordained pattern, and that, in part, their purpose is to excuse and palliate the conduct of the mob, while, at the same time, they load the Negro race with infamy. It is apparent from the action of the Little Rock, Arkansas, mob that the lynching was committed as much with a view to punishing the whole Negro community of Little Rock, and to teach Negroes "their place," as it was to wreck vengeance upon an alleged rapist. If this view of the matter is incorrect, why, after killing the alleged offender, did they take his remains into the section of the city where most of the Negroes live and there burn the body? The time has come for the Negro press to look beneath the surface fact of the lynchings of Negroes, and to discover and reveal the organized and systematic race hatred and malice which underlie and motivate them. In this connection a careful and orderly study of the Associated Press accounts of lynchings will throw much light on the subjet.

The article tells of "Jerry," a black sheep at Armour & Co.'s plant in Chicago that is used to lead the other sheep through the complicated runways to their slaughter. Repugnant as is Jerry's occupation of leading his kind, his flesh and blood to slaughter for a few chews of tobacco, yet, though he has had a million such, his reprehensible record is inconsequential in comparison to that of a few "black sheep" Negro leaders who for the past sixty years have led fifteen million of their people to political and economic slaughter at the hands of their Anglo-Saxon masters; and their remuneration, big as it seems to them, is comparable to Jerry's few chews of tobacco. The blind following behind these "black sheep" has cost the race uncountable potential millions and has saddled on the race an economic and political slavery that is gradually reducing it to the rank and status of the former Mexican peon, or South African "native." How blindly has the Negro followed his "black sheep" leaders, never questioning their acts nor his destination! How unmindful has the Negro been of the little "side exit" that, (like the "black sheep" at Armour's uses) his leaders use to make their escape leaving him defenseless to face the segregation and exploitation of his captors. As a result of this blind following, the Negro today finds himself gradually losing every right supposed to be guaranteed him by the Constitution. He finds himself in a land where segregation now extends from Maine to California, and every neighborhood is working out a covenant to exclude him as a resident. He finds his children being denied the right to attend schools operated by the government of which he is a tax payer. He must ride in jim crow cars over roads he helped to build. He pays the fare but must hobo his way. His sons are denied commissions in the army and navy under the flag for which he has shed his blood on a thousand battle fields. His inalienable right to vote is lost in the battle to maintain white supremacy and make America safe for the Ku Klux and Fundamentalist. Courts have ceased to be the dwelling place of blind justice but are inhabited by a "justice" who winks every time a black man enters the court room. His womanhood is raped and debauched and he is helpless to defend them. He and his family are burned at the stake and his cries for help and mercy are answered with more gasoline and louder jeers from the mob. And notwithstanding the flames of his holocaust light up the neighborhood his torturers and murderers are "unknown persons." These are the results to date of "black sheep" leadership. Training and "Training" If one-half of the time spent in the high schools drilling the cadets was spent in training them how to give commands and take orders in the battle of life, how much farther the race would be advanced. Will the District Condone a Brutal Crime? The verdict of acquittal of Martin Flaherty, white, by a coroner's jury, Tuesday, in the case of the death of James Monroe who was burned alive here, is a challenge to every citizen of the District who believes in justice. According to the evidence of Monroe's sister and the account of the burning entered in the day book at No. 9 precinct by the officer making the arrest, there seems to be plenty of ground for the holding of Flaherty for the action of the grand jury. The only difference between Flaherty's acts and the acts of a Southern mob is that only one person participated in the burning to death of this human being. The number who participated certainly does not increase the heinousness. If the shoe were on the other foot, the daily press would blackline the "brute's" crime for days and the district attorney would assign his best men to the case. But this happens to be a Negro, no more or no less; yet, a human being and a citizen of the United States. However, it is still not too late to see that Flaherty answers be fore the proper authorities for his crime. The burden of seeing to this rests upon the district attorney and upon fair-minded citizens who believe in justice for all—not one law for whites and one for Negroes. If the nation's capital is to cleanse its hands of the blood of Monroe, Flaherty must be brought to trial, otherwise Washington will take its place alongside of Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and other communities where the lives of Negroes may be taken according to the whims of the white fiends who make up their population. MUSIC EXTENSION COURSE CLOSES WITH PROGRAM MUSIC EXTENSION COURSE CLOSES WITH PROGRAM The members of the class of the Music Extension Course, provided by the board of education of Prince George's County for the teachers in the county schools, rendered a unique and interesting program at the Marlboro M. E. Church, Friday evening, May 6, in their closing exercises. The program was under the direction of W. E. Low, of Washington, instructor of the class. Many beautiful numbers were rendered, part songs, trios, duets and solos. Mrs. M. E. Harrison, of Bowie, Md., Miss Emma Armstrong, and Mrs. Mildred Lloyd of Fairmont Heights Md., deserve special mention. The "Peergyn Suite" by Edward Grieg, Norwegian composer, arranged for four hands on piano, was played by Miss Helen Pathal and Mr. Low. A demonstration of what the public school piano courses will do for children was shown by the ability of little seven-year-old Charletta Henderson of Washington. The program was well rendered, and a capacity audience attended. MUSIC FORUM MUSIC FORUM By Wellington A. Adams MME. TYREE APPEARS IN SPIRITED CONCERT Madam Bertha D. Tyrne, dramatic soprano of Chicago, Illinois, and instructor of music at the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president, appeared in a benefit recital for the building fund of the institution last Monday evening, May 9, at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor. Dramatic Soprano of Chicago Proud Nineteenth Street Baptist folk where were they, goodness sake? Far too few availed themselves of the rare privilege of hearing Mme. Tyre who scored a musical triumph. It was her local debut recital, in which her years have conquered a repertory that disclosed a rich, beautiful voice, much of that instinctive feeling for music that belongs to the artists of song, and a purity of intonation and ease of voice that bespeak excellent guidance. She opened with Meyerbeer's "Addio terra natura" disclosing a deep rich sonorous tone through its exquisite thrills and florid passages. "The Loreli" by Liszt manifested a voice of purity and beauty of tone quality, and her blending of registers was as smooth as tranquil waters on a moonlight night. Godard's "Le Tasse" closed the first group. It was in the second group that Mime. Tyreye won her audience in her profound rendition of Meyerbeer's "Dici 'je vois la mer immense (from l'Africaine)," into which she put a wealth of pathos and fervor, putting into its real professional style in tone, color and mood. It was most revealing with a dramatic feeling and floating, suave phrases that were genuine art. Her bell-like cadenza was delivered in subtle delicacy like a warbling bird. Seldom have we heard so rare a singing of an aria, the elasticity of her singing and the sweetness in her voice adding a lovely quality to the even flow of her legato, while her direct, clear diction maintained its fervid charm. A humorous encore followed "Caro Noma (from Rigoleto)" by Verdi followed by "Go Down Moses" (Burleigh); "Were You There?" (Work), and "Oh, Didn't It Rain" (Burleigh), the last named being the best of the third group renditions. We rather believe that Mmy. Tnee's voice is less responsive in the "spiritual" type of song as in that of other classes as the traditional element seems to be lacking. But in "Oh, Didn't it Rain" she put the characteristic race rhythm that sent the blood shooting through our veins. Her closing group included "Homing" (Del Reigo); "Rain" (Vurren); "Thou Wilt Know" (Herman Devries), and "The Song Fairy" by Bemberg. The last named selection was indeed very artistically done, her notes skipping and dancing up and down the scale passages with fawn-like deftness. She gave with tender meaning Del Reigo's "Homing" and what a velvet, liquid, organ-like tone floated out on the air; rich in resonance, symmetrical in contour and decoying in its warmth, revealing tints of golden sunset. We would want again to hear her in that song and then lie down to quiet slumber in the dusk of evening, shadows. Mme. Tyree's enunciation is thoroughly distinct, possessing a fine sense of interpretation and a versatile compass of wide range. She was encored heartily and responded generously during the evening. Roy W. Tibbs at the piano, was as usual a fine accompanist. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927 for his in to H. U. GLEE CLUB BROADCASTS The Howard University Glee Club, Professor Roy W. Tibbs, conductor, broadcasted over WRC Station during last week. It proved a delightful pleasure of unusual proportion. We listened with utter amazement to the sweeping, haunting melodies as it echoed in the air from out the loud speaker before us as this group sang, "Lo how a rose e'er blooming" by Praetorius. We have heard them sing that before, but not as heard over the radio. The pianissimos, crescendos, fortes, all were there in the fullest development of melody seemingly new-borned yet tranquil in its beauty. As that vocal symphony soared with pathos, it wafted away in most delicate tracery of sound. There were spots where one might, with eyes closed, think oneself in the land of fairy blissfulness where perfume of roses taunt the senses. To paraphrase Omar, we might again say, "I sent my soul into the vague radio of sound." "After many a dusty mile" by Elgar was notable for its bass choir's splendid adhesion. Palagren's "Summer Evening" carried a sublime humming chorus to an obligato by Levingston Smith, tenor. The soloist's voice was distinct in quality from every other voice, true to pitch and caressing in its tonal beauty. Then Lester Dorsey sang a spiritual entitled "Moaning Dove." His superb enunciation, fine resonance and melodious voice gave striking effect to the number as rendered. His singing of this song reminded slightly of Paul Robeson's voice but lacking the finish and depth of Robeson's vocalism. He made of that song a sparkling gem, however. "Were You There," and "Deep River" followed including "Jacob's Ladder" by Burleigh. The latter selection was indeed a benediction upon the soul as entrancingly they brought out the religious pathos and deep spiritual significance of the piece. One almost with an eye of faith could discover angels ascending and descending Jacob's Ladder so vividly was the song portrayed. It struck the heart, Harry G. Smith's playing of "Scherzo" (York Bowen) as a piano solo, showed intelligent musicianship of a high order for one of his age and training. He performs with understanding and has a keen conception of interpretation. The program closed with "Mighty la a Rose" (Nevin) by request; "My little banjo" (Dichmont), "A Negro Lullaby" and the Alma Mater Song. In only one song was the pitch given the group from an instrument. There was no preliminary sounding of the pitch, but at a signal from the conductor the entire group began to sing with clear-cut attack and unified shading of tone. In the high notes there was no attempt at yelling or shreiking. At all times the members of the group placed their tones forward and high, or low, unerringly, and there was no suggestion of throatiness. This human vocal symphony was almost uncanny at times in its seeming imitation of an organ and at other times of stringed instruments. FRANCIS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The writer paid a flying visit to the Francis Junior High School a few days ago and met the music director of the school, Miss Virginia Williams, and one or two other teachers. We were much impressed with the building but not the locality. We are interested in the appointment of the music department of said school and hope to visit there again when conditions will permit a more minute observation. It is a much needed institution in West Washington and the administration deserves commendation for it. $1,000 PRIZE CONTEST The contest in musical composition, limited to composers of the Negro race, for prizes aggregating $1,000, offered by the Rodman Wanamaker Store through the Ogden Association of Philadelphia, is now drawing to a close as there is but about two weeks and a few days time before the competition closes and the manuscripts submitted will be sent to the judges for examination and awarding of the prizes. The contest has caused a good deal of excitement among musicians of the race. The idea which Mr. Wanamaker had in mind from the beginning of this offer, was to encourage creative work among colored composers. the contest on June 1, the names of the judges will be announced and the names of the winners of the various classifications of the contest will be made public during the annual convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians, which will be held in St. Louis, beginning August 21 and closing August 27.

Booklets containing the rules of the contest and everything about it, may be obtained by writing to them at the Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia, Pa.

SUNSHINE SAMMY The picture last week was of "Sunshine Sammy" famous as a juvenile comedy screen star. The best two letters for this subject were sent in by Shermont Jackson, 2320 L street, northwest, and Ersky Freeman, 1342 R street, northwest. The prize winning stories follow: The picture last week is that of one of our well known colored actors who used to play in the "Our Gang Comedies." He is called Sunshine Sammy. I have seen him in the movies and also in person when he appeared here at the Howard Theatre. I think he is wonderful. I do think it is so nice to have a little boy of our own race doing so well as he. SHERMONT JACKSON (9) The picture last week was of Sunshine Sammy. He was a bright smiling little boy who was always full of fun. One day a gentleman noticed his cheery smile and said he was just the kind of a little fellow he was looking for. So he went to see Sammy's mother and asked that he be allowed to play in the movies. His mother was very happy, because she was a poor woman and needed more money. And Sunshine Sammy not only made money for himself, but he was able to help his parents. ERSKY FREEMAN (8) "GOD SAVE THE KING" Dear Editor: Not so long ago when the Prince of Wales was visiting in Argentine arrangement was made to have the children sing the British National anthem. The words were spelled phonetically, according to a statement in the New York World, and the following version was used: **Himno Ingles** God Seiv aua greichas Kin Long liv aua nobel Kin God Seiv di Kin Send jim victorias Long tu rein over as Japi and glorias God Seiv di Kin. Dai choisest guilts in stor On jim bi plied tu por Long me ii rein When sung by the children it sounded quite all right. Read the verses over twice to yourself without reading aloud. Then go over it and read it aloud and you will be surprised at how plain it is. CLARISSA A. YOUNG (15) SPECS Specs moved to the block only a few days ago, but he was already finding out how a new boy was treated in a strange neighborhood, especially when he wore eyeglasses. Now aside from the fact that he had rather weak eyes, Specs, whose name was really Tom, was a match for any of his tormentors. However, being a quiet lad by nature, he let matters take their course, thinking that in due time this persecution would cease. But the other boys did not regard his peacefulness as due to his wish to make friends, but regarded it as a sign of cowardice. Therefore Specs was treated doubly worse. Finally, however, that enduring boy's patience broke, and, as luck would have it, Jack, the leader of Spec's tormentors, encountered Specs as that persecuted boy was carrying home a full can of milk. Walking belligerently toward Specs, Jack took a savage kick at the milk can, spilling the entire contents over the dirty sidewalk. With a cry of rage Specs tore his eyeglasses from his face and rushed at Jack. It took but a few moments for the bully to realize that he was up against more than his match and, as an exceedingly hard punch caught him squarely on the nose, he turned tail and ran away. You may rest assured that Spec's persecution ceased on that day and never were renewed; and that his assailants learned that quiet speech and manner do not always make a coward. THOMAS H.

I know just how they feel. I know how men neglect them and even pity them because of their hair—You see I used to have short hair myself." "My hair was once the greatest sorrow of my life. It kept me from being popular; it kept me from being happy—nothing seemed to do any good—then I tried Hi-Ja. My hair started to grow like magic—almost two inches a month for a while. Soon it was so long, soft and silky that it reached my shoulders and was easy to comb. Men began to pay attention to me and to seek my company. Popularity and good times were mine at last. What a difference, and oh! how happy I am. I wish every short haired girl to know of my experience and try Hi-Ja."

Just before the suit was called for trial counsel for both sides, Judge Wilmer J. Latimer and George E. Gertman, representing the plaintiffs and Benjamin L. Gaskins and George E. C. Hayes, representing the defendants agreed upon a decree settling the issue involved and terminating what would have proved to be a bitter contest. Watkins Arrives The Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green was at once notified and he ordered the Supreme Attorney Sir S. A. T. Watkins, Chicago, Ill., to proceed at once from Chicago and represent the supreme lodge in the negotiations. He approved the terms of the decree. A spirit not only of harmony, but of good fellowship and rejoicing permeated everybody connected with the case throughout the negotiations and the local organization feels that a great good has come out of the visit of Sir S. A. T. Watkins, and that an understanding and accord now exist between the supreme lodge and the grand lodge which will redound to the benefit of the order, and that it has been saved from the rocks of litigation upon which too many of our large fraternal orders are wrecked. A wholly new spirit has been injected and Pythians on every hand are predicting an awakening of interest in this order, which now owns and controls one of the only two large buildings devoted to the work of fraternal or secret orders of our group in the District which are not in litigation. The new trustees, Edward W. Bundy, John T. Rhines, and Rev. Melvin J. Key, will take charge of the building at Twelfth and U streets, northwest, as soon as the receiver has submitted his accounts for approval, which is set for May 23. The terms of the decree upholds one of the platforms upon which grand chancellor Bundy was elected that the building was the property of the grand lodge, to whom the trustees are accountable.

"Ready to Eat Dog Meat," Refugee Says "Ready to Eat Dog Meat," Refugee Says (Continued from page 1) impossible task is being performed in caring for these homeless people. Yet as I go about the city, there are tales of gross mistreatment and a callous disregard of common decency on the part of some who have official rating. The party with which I travelled here arrived on the second boat from Greenville, Miss. Never can I forget the hustle and bustle after the first warning that the flood was coming. On that memorable Thursday night as many from our neighborhood as could reach it, spent the night at a schoolhouse. Attempts were made early the next morning to return to the homes for food, but these bold ones had to wade, often swim back. We then joined the crowd on the levee. Pandemonium Let Loose Most of these people had left their homes in such haste the night before they had little clothing and no food at all. C—— and I had figured on little more than two feet of water in our house, and had prepared to camp until it receded. But when that mighty wall of water reached more than halfway the height of our windows, and when the nearby waterworks went under, we grabbed a few necessities, scrambled into our bateau and raced to the levee. There we met pandemonium itself. Whistles were screeching; guards and rescue parties were rushing here and there; children were whimpering, mothers tearful, men were fearful. Soon we were in line for a tent, and with the help of soldiers, had in a short while stretched it and made down a bed. A boat came to the landing for women and children. I was so tired, and the bed was so comfortable after forty-eight hours of harrowing experiences, I decided to remain. It was lucky we did not enhark on that boat for it had only coal barges for the passengers, an it was a bitter cold night. A Modern Paul Revere About 2:30 a.m., we heard the oncoming patter of horses' hoofs; as the sound came nearer, we heard the patrol warning the guards to have us on the boats drawing near by five o'clock as seven feet more of water was expected which would sweep us off our dangerous perches. No more sleep that night. After a hastily prepared campfire breakfast, we wanted to remain, but were told officially there was no hope of safety longer. We were soon on board with only a basket of foodstuff and some blankets, leaving behind my hatbox and C ——'s laundry bag of clothing. We were soon parked on the top deck among the smoke stacks because the engine rooms and the lower decks were already crowded. This was a freighter, pressed into service by the government, on her regular trip down the river, with three barges of freight in tow. Officers had to beg most of the refugees to go on board as they hated to leave Greenville, penniless and afraid of what might happen in Vicksburg. Others were so eager to be out of the flood's grasp they went on board ahead of time, without food or water. Hence, when the mates ordered all women and children downstairs to be fed, and all the men up where we were, a stillness of despair came over the motley crowd of men, some of whom had not eaten since Thursday, and this was Saturday, and some of whom had worked on the levee all night. Men Ready to Eat Dog Meat My companion and I had plenty of food for the two of us and warm THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY; MAY 13, 1927 coverings if we had kept them. But when these men began to tell of their hunger, we could do nothing less than share all we had. Canned foods and such were soon gone; when a portion of left-over uncooked ham was offered, one man said he was ready to eat dog. They ate and ate from that ham as long as there was a piece left. There was ever a hungry hand out-stretched. When the last bit of skin was ripped off, the carver sat down to the bone himself. Then they all began to joke as only a Negro can joke to hide the awfulness of his predicament. One fellow got a piece of meat skin which he gnawed until he had all the fat off; then he chewed on the skin until it was soft enough to swallow. A.T. WASHINGTON HEADS PHILLY'S AMÉR. WOODMEN Mr. A. T. Washington, who for the past seven years has been suvervisor of the American Woodmen One old soul, bareheaded and barefooted, said she had always liked the song "Roll, Jordan; roll," but if the Jordan was anything like the Mississippi is now, she had rather fly over the Jordan in an aeroplane. *Mules Preferred to Negroes* Of all the stories I heard (some heroic and noble, others selfish and inhuman) the most terrible was of a hill-billy in Arkansas who had two fine mules he wanted taken aboard the boat. When the captain refused and continued to load on refugees, most of whom were Negroes, men and women, homeless and cold, the old planter raved and threatened and cursed the "niggers" and tried so hard to overrun authority that the captain had to shoot him down in defense of the helpless people in his care. The boat's crew finally managed to serve the men with coffee. After one two-hour stop, we dropped anchor at Vicksburg about 2:30 a.m., stiff and cold. By 5:30 we were all off the boat. We soon left our fellow adventurers, and as we waited for a taxi to take us to friends, we looked for the last time at this horde of destitute humanity, so much like any other group under like circumstances. This flood shall have not been in vain, in spite of the havoc it has wrought, if it shall bring greater civic opportunities closer to these unfortunate ones. These waters may prove a blessing in disguise. HAITIAN REPRESENTATIVE ENTERTAINED AT LUNCHEON Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, was host at a luncheon Tuesday, May 10, in honor of Monsieur Dantes Bellegarde, former Haitian Minister to the Republic of France. Prior to the luncheon, Monsieur Bellegarde addressed the students of Howard University at chapel service. His address was in French and was interpreted by Professor Clarence H. Mills head of the Department of Romance Languages. The luncheon was served in the private dining room of the new dining hall. Among those present were: Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson; president of Howard University; Dr. Emmett J. Scott; Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women; Hon. Jas. A. Cobb, Judge of Municipal Court; Attorney W. L. Houston, Dean William B. West, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A. M. E. Zion Church; Dean Kelly Miller, Hon. Perry W. Howard, Professor Clarence H. Mills, Major West A. Hamilton, Robert J. Nelson, Dr. Algernon Jackson and William O. Walker. Monsieur Bellegarde is in Washington attending the Pan-American Commercial Congress which is composed of representatives of various South American Republics. He is secretary general of the chamber of commerce of Haiti. In his address Monsieur Bellegarde asked for a closer bond of friendship between the people of Haiti and the Negroes of America. A.T.

JACKSON MAY BE FIRST TO SIT IN ELECTRIC CHAIR (Continued from page 1) sufficient time to perfect his appeal to the District Court of Appeals. Justice Hoehling set July 1, a week prior to the date for the execution of Nick Eagles, Sam Moreno and John Proctor, all white for the muzder of policeman Leo W. K. Busch, for the electrocution of Jackson. Justice Hoehling indicated that Jackson had been given a fair trial and complimented Mr. Wilson upon the able manner in which he handled the defense. The inquiry into the sanity of Jackson and the appeal will probably delay his execution. Legal opinion, however, is that there are little or no grounds for an appeal. Jackson received the death penalty stoically. He had nothing to say when the court clerk asked him if he had anything to say why ALL WOOL To Y Special WE BOUGHT Blue Se petition.

He seemed not to realize that in less than two months the law had said that he was to be burned to death. Jackson will probably be the first person to be electrocuted in the District of Columbia. Capital punishment here was changed from hanging to electrocution January 30, 1925. No one as yet has been electrocuted in the District jail. The three white boys under death sentence have taken an appeal and it is not likely that their case will be disposed of until next fall. Herbert Copeland was the last person to be hanged here. New Trial Likely Attorney Wilson will base his motion for a new trial largely upon the language of Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins, who referred to Jackson in the argument of the case as "a brute." The Government also failed to produce sufficient evidence to warrant the jury in returning a verdict of guilty with the death penalty. Attorney Wilson contends.

"Mortgaged" written by Mr. Willis Richardson of this city was played by Misses Ophelia Davidson, Henrietta Williams, Edward Saunders, Samuel Popel, Bernard Pryor and Alfred Smith. The players were very much at ease in their respective parts, and are to be commended for their excellent interpretation of this play. "Foreign Mail" was put on by Mrs. Rust Steward, Miss Lillian Clark, Miss Lawrence Smith, Costoma Green, Leonard Hill, and Samuel Popel. This play was written by Miss Eulalia Spence of New York city. Popel Plays Well The portrayal of "Chisel" by Samuel Popel deserves special mention. This young man shows great versatility in his work and at all times he is perfectly original and natural in his interpretation of his lines. The whole cast in this play performed very creditably. "The Flight of the Natives," another play by Willis Richardson, received tremendous applause. It was well acted by Bernard Pryor, Leonard Hill, Samuel Popel, David Strange, Lee B. Ash, Samuel Sutton, Mrs. Kateleen Bingham and Miss Lillian Clark. The play was full of action. "Mose" and "Pet" portrayed by Bernard Pryor and Mrs. Kathleen Bingham were especially good, Mr. Pryor as "Mose" showed excellent dramatic ability. The plays were rehearsed during the last week by Mr. Nathaniel Guy. By special request the Players hope to repeat this set of plays in the near future. MINOR NORMAL PRINCIPAL BACK FROM CONVENTION J. A. Turner, principal, attended the spring conference for normal schools and teachers colleges held in New York City, on Friday and Saturday, April 29 and 30.

Capacity audiences greeted each performance. The singing of Miss Una Mason and William Cooke lent much toward making the affairs complete successes. Miss Mason, portraying the character of Virginia Woodbine was especially charming during her presentations of "O'er the Hills and Far Away" and also in "In Arcady." The team of Cooke and Mason captivated the audience with their duet selection "Daffy-down-dilly." Miss Bernice Bland, in the role of the telephone operator, displayed a charming personality, while the parts of the Honorable James Woodbine and Ebenezer Riggs were well taken care of by John Harris and Lowry Barnes, respectively.

He faces imprisonment for not more than 15 years. Wiggins shot Sturdivant three times in a room on the third floor of the Summit Hotel, 1251 Seventh street, northwest, occupied by Mrs. Velma Wiggins. Death was almost instantaneous. Both men were comedians in the "Ne-High Revue," a theatrical production which was playing at the Foraker Theatre, 1122 Twentieth street, northwest. After the show on the night of January 6, the company returned from the theatre to the hotel and ate in the cafe. Mrs. Wiggins testified for the Government, but would admit no illicit relations with Sturdivant. Her testimony was not damaging to her husband. Attorneys George E. C. Hayes and Ernest J. Davis appeared for the defendant. Y.W.C.A. NEWS The Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A.'s twenty-second birthday party, was celebrated last week. The affair was sponsored by the residence committee.

Galaxy of Track Stars Divided Between Two Big Meets Sam's Scripts *Rain, rain go away. Come again some other day”—besides Sunday. Practically every colored baseball team in Washington suffered by the downpour of last Sunday afternoon. Few of them play except on the Sabbath, hence the above cry from managers when their games were butted into by the weather man May 8. Maybe the twilight games Elgie Richards, Oriental manager intends putting over during the week will prove worthy of the undertaking. To Howard or to Hampton? That is the question uppermost in the minds of quite a number of coaches in the east this week. Whether to send his team to the Seaside or to the Hilltop Championship is what our leading College and High school mentors are dowering over. Too bad. This should not be. Last Saturday was a wonderful day for the staging of a track meet. “Lefty” Smith is back with the Le Droits after a ‘shorter than brief’ stay with the Washington Black Sox. Smith was seen in left field against the Oriental Tigers last Sunday on the Southwest diamond. Turner, who went to the Sox with Smith, however is still with Sheffield’s team. Spike Spencer, well known local umpire is sharing with Cromwell, the arbitrating duties in Eastern League games in Baltimore. The Baltimore Black Sox home games at Maryland Park of a Sunday find the former District umpire calling them at the plate. This is the third season for Spike as an Eastern League arbiter, and he is well liked by Monumental City fans. Folks, they say Captain Burrell Kenner is aging. The LeDroit leader, according to reports, is finding it hard to keep up the pace he once traveled at. Van Harris and Will Adams, the latter a nephew of Babe Adams former Tiger ace, are a pair of new players on Manager Andrew Allen's roster. Harris, formerly a star of the Piedmont 1923 championship nine is playing at the keystone sack, while Adams is a pitcher. They say the Baltimore Black Sox have the fastest infield in the Eastern League. Manager Ben is experiencing the best season he has had in a number of years. Jackson, I understand is better by far than "Connie" Day that sensational second sacker of the 1925 Sox, and "Scrapy" Brown, well now that the Baltimore short-fielder is taking care of himself he is gonig "great guns." Babe Wilson at the hot corner is playing his usual wide awake game. The slugging third baseman throws hard from any position. Cecil Cooke, the Svracuse Flash will be seen on the Hill tomorrow. This is the chance to see the colored lad who showed his heels to the country's fleetest white runners up at Franklin Field last Saturday week ago. Jimmie Burgess, Georgetown star quarter-miler rated as one of the best in America was unable to hold the pace Cooke set in the One Mile College Relay Championship of America. The Departmental Baseball League has gotten away to a good start. Beginning next week the Tribune will carry an account of each game. FIRST OF HIGH SCHOOL SERIES GAMES DELAYED FIRST OF HIGH SCHOOL SERIES GAMES DELAYED The first game of the Dunbairn-Armstrong championship baseball games scheduled for Wednesday, May 11, was postponed due to scholastic difficulties members of both teams suffered. Two games will be played next week, the first, Monday, the second, Wednesday. If one team should take both of these battles, there will be no necessity for a third game. If each school wins one then a deciding game will probably be played Wednesday, May 25. All championship games will be played at the High School Stadium. DUDLEY-KEY HORSES RUNNING AT AKRON This week finds S. H. Dudley in Cleveland. He writes; "I am in Akron with the nags, and I sent four of them to the post Saturday but none of them said, 'good morning, Judge.'" "Several colored owners started horses but not one of them scored I regret to say, but of course, the meeting has just opened. You can rest assured that the boys will make good before the closing of the Akron meeting. "We go from Akron to Maple Heights, Cleveland, O. We might split our stable and send a few horses to Canada, but we have not fully decided yet." THE SPORT REVIEW LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES AT HOWARD MEET The management of the Howard University meet, to be held Saturday, May 14, at 1 p.m., already has in hand three hundred entries. It is expected that the number of entries will far exceed this when last minute returns are checked. The three hundred entries already in hand are divided among the following: St. Bonaventure College, Storer College, Morgan College, Fort Myer Detachment, 372nd infantry of Boston, Baltimore Y.M.C.A., Washington Y.M.C.A., Community A.C. of Washington, Miner Normal and Howard University in the open events, while the scholastic entries show registrations from Howard High School of Wilmington, Delaware; Southern High School of Philadelphia, Pa.; Douglass High and Vocational School of Baltimore, Md., Dunbar, Armstrong, Phelps, Randall, Francis and Shaw of Washington; Manasgas Normal and Cheyney Normal. In addition to this large number of entries, interest centers in the performances of Cecil Cook of Syracuse University, who will run an exhibitoin 440; Gus Moore and Charles Major of St. Bonaventure's College, who will give exhibitions in the mile and two-mile runs and high jump, respectively. A capacity crowd will witness these events, but the seating arrangement of the new stadium assures everyone a perfect view of all events from any section. This is the first meet in the Howard stadium, and a complete set of records is expected to be established at this time. MACHINISTS WIN INTERSHOP MEET AT PHELPS Under the direction of C. L. Penderhughes, and Roscoe Evans of Dumbar and Phelps respectively, the Phelps Vocational School held an inter-shop track and field meet Tuesday. The boys from Machine Shop won it. The purpose of this affair was to prepare the Phelps runners and field men for the Open Championship to be held at the Howard University tomorrow. Principal F. E. Parks said that "since our boys learned to run in the streets, it could not hurt any to let them practice there." Hence the dashes were run off on Vermont Avenue. Machine Shop with 24 points had the highest average of the six shops represented, bricklaying, auto, carpenter, print, drawing and machine. The printers and drawers were tied for second at 22 points with the bricklayers finished fourth with 17. The results were: Unlimited 100-yd dash: first—L. Coats, Brick; second—L.

ORIENTAL TIGERS MEET WHITE ALL-STARS ORIENTAL TIGERS MEET WHITE ALL-STARS Mullen's All-Stars, an exceptionally fast white aggregation are booked to meet the Orientals at South Capitol and P Streets, s.w., on Tuesday afternoon of next week. Manager Elgie Richards says that with the erection of temporary stands on the grounds he will offer Southwest several week day attractions beginning next week. The first of these proposed games will be with the white All-Stars. The Oriental head claims that he has the best catching staff in Washington, now that he has acquired the services of "Marty" Lewis, for a number of years LeDroit Tiger receiver. The infield of the southwest team has been considerably bolstered with the signing of Craig, former Stonewall wall baseman, and with Humpty Brown's return to the lineup the outfield berths are very capably filled. SAMUEL H. LACY, Sports Editor THE REFLECTOR THE REFLECTOR By Sam Lacy Comes from Dunbar High School a letter advocating race pride, denouncing racial seclusion, and upbraiding the treatment of color in some sections of the country. This is all right and the author of this column is in full accord with the ideal such a letter carries. It's a good one and worthy of every kind of favorable comment. Comes this letter from a Dunbar teacher Wednesday. On Thursday, a 13-year-old schoolboy, a nephew of one of the Dunbar professors, is manhandled just back of the Dunbar School by a white policeman—servant of the people—for little or nothing. The youth, a spectator at the Dunbar-Manassas baseball game of May 5, did not respond quickly enough to the demand that everyone leave the enclosure, and so, for such a heinous crime the white police officer, with night stick dangling from the wrist of his left arm, and blackjack held in his right hand menaced the colored lad after having picked him up bodily and hurled him through the gate to the ground outside the enclosure. The coach of the Dunbar team upon being advised of the manner in which the policeman had handled the affair, stated that the policeman is not to be biamed. "If someone else were forced to deal with these boys as I am, it would be seen why I do not care what the cops do to them," is the reply the writer received on speaking to the Red and Black mentor about the incident. It is sad indeed when a member of the faculty of one of the country's leading race institutions takes a stand of this sort in the face of the amount of oppression we must suffer when nothing can be done about it. Athletics should prove a medium of influencing good will. When they fail in this particular they are unsuccessful in one of their most vital motives. Such a spirit can hardly thrive in an atmosphere where our young people—participants or spectators—witness the sort of treatment such as was accorded one of their number at the High School Stadium, May 5. Good will can never pervade where a multitude of children see one alien "strongarm," threaten the use of a blackjack on one of their companions. This, while a teacher, the one who should be in control of the situation, stands by and makes no move to protect the youngster. Like the story we hear which says "When a dog bites a man, it's not news, but when the man bites the dog that's news." So it goes in this case—it is not surprising when a white man treats a Negro as the little Dunbar student was treated, but it is both surprising and deplorable when an excuse for the white man's action is offered by another Negro. This from a Negro of no small amount of intelligence, from a colored man whose responsible position brings him in daily contact with the same youngster that was so unjustly mistreated. The lesson for tomorrow will be, "Yas, suh, boss." RAIN ROBS BLACK SOX OF APPARENT VICTORY RAIN ROBS BLACK SOX OF APPARENT VICTORY Old Jupiter Pluvius stepped in to rob Sheffield's Washington Black Sox of an apparent victory last Sunday afternoon when the first game of the scheduled double-header with the Pottsville Giants was broken up by a fourth inning downpour. The local team was 3 up at the time of the interruption. With Henry, former Hilldale slab artist, serving them up for the invaders the Sox were fortunate that the visiting hurler's support was weak. Loose fielding jockeyed in between a few scattered base hits netted the locals 1 run in each of their three turns at bat. During this time the Giant batters were finding it difficult to get a good stance at the plate, and were not connecting solidly. Traveling in three automobiles, one of which has not yet arrived and one of which experienced motor trouble the Pottsville team appeared on the field exactly forty-five minutes late with 10 players. For this reason the game which was supposed to start at 2:30 o'clock did not get under way until 3:30 just a little before the rain began falling. Sunday, May 15, a white team, the Northeast Motor Company, reputed to be one of the District's strongest semi-pro nines, will be the attraction at Union League Park. Several of the city's leading white ball players will be seen in action for the Motor Company, and the Black Sox are anticipating a tough battle. ARMSTRONG BEATS SHAW Playing the Shaw Junior High School baseball team instead of Dunbar, as had previously been arranged, the Armstrong Techites defeated the M Streeters 16-4 on the Walker Memorial grounds, Wednesday. Jasper, Beverly, and Vollin were batted very freely by the Orange and Blue nine, while Lynn and Campbell, Tech hurlers, kept the Junior High lads' hits well scattered.

For information call Marlboro 78 F 3 or write Manager Kelley Barnes, Forestville, Maryland. A CHALLENGE FROM BALTIMORE. The Ramsay A. C. baseball team of Baltimore wishes to take on some snappy local nine for a game Sunday, June 12. Any club in the 18 year old class having home grounds is requested to communicate with Walter H. Hoffmeister, 613 South Smallwood street, Baltimore, Maryland. --- UNION LEAGUE DOUBLE O Two of the six scheduled Union League baseball games resulted in decisions last Sunday while a third ended at an 8- deadlock in the fourth inning. Double-headers were billed for three different diamonds, but Neptune spread his wrath and none were completed. In Alexandria the Lafayettes were played to a standstill by the Washington Giants. Four innings of mediocre baseball ended in a 8-8 tie when players and fans were forced to dodge a drenching. To be impartial I could say that the Lafayettes played the Giants to a standstill. It's a matter of "take your choice." Out 24th an Benning Road way the Myrtles pounded Freddie Wood's Piemont hurlers unmercifully, while Tottie Barber had the new bunch eating out of his hand. In 7 innings the Northeast aggregation amassed a total of 13 runs, which was only 12 better than their rival's total. Now let's move over to the South west diamond where the two sets of Tigers, LeDroit and, Oriental, had their usual squabble. With the uptown boys leading 4-1 in the fourth, Cook Nickens at third in place of Baylor, let an easy chance for a two ply killing get away from him. An Oriental on first, instead of being forced at second on an easy roller to Nickens, moved up to second on the error and scored the later on a hit. In the fifth frame Captain Kenner presented the southwest team with a tie score. With the sacks crowded the LeDroit boss let Marty Lewis' smash scoot between his legs untouched. This allowed two men to score. Time was called by Umpire "Fish" Barber in the eighth inning after the Orientals had placed two men on the runways with one out. Previous to this the Le Droits had tied the count at 7 all. Fifteen minutes elapsed and Barber ordered a resumption of play. Kenner, Le Droit Captain, refused and the umpire ordered a forfeiture. The Le Droit team entered a protest, but to no avail. President Hayes Jones upheld the umpires' ruling at a called meeting Monday night. HAMPTON SCHOOL QUARTET IN HOUR'S PROGRAM PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The male quartet of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School will present an hour's program of seldom heard Negro spirituals at WIP, Gimbel Brothers, Philadelphia, Thursday evening, May 19, from 10:05 to 11:05. The offering will also be heard in its entirety from WGBS, the Gimbel Station in New York. The singers are students at the famous school which has long had a high standing in the musical field for its vocal ensembles. The present members of the quartet have the reputation of upholding the institution's enviable musical record. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927 VIEW HILLDALE PITCHING PHILADEL HAMPTON MEET TO BE C.I.A.A.'S BIGGEST HAMPTON MEET TO BE C.I.A.A.'S BIGGEST HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., May 12—The sixth annual Track and Field Championship will be held on Armstrong Field on Saturday, May 14, at 1:15 p.m. The meet this year promises to be one of the most hotly contested yet staged. The schools are sending bigger and better-trained teams. Some of the institutions entered are Union, A. & T. of Greensboro, St. Paul, Shaw, Virginia Seminary and College, Lincoln, Tuskegee and Hampton. In the secondary class are Bordentown, Hansemond, Norcon High and Portsmouth. Dr. R. B. Henderson, director of physical education of Washington, D.C., will serve as referee for the games. Mr. Benjamin Washington will act as chief field judge. Mr. J. V. Mulligan, who ran on the famous University of Pennsylvania mile relay team with the immortal J. B. Taylor, will serve as starter. Great interest is shown in the meet this year. The Hampton relay team, fresh from its victory at the Penn Relays, is putting every effort forth to win the last leg on the Madam C. Walker cup. The relay teams from other institutions are making their last stand to turn the Seasiders back. The R. S. Abbott trophy for the 440 is bigger and more beautiful than the one awarded last year. The Frank Young trophy for the National high school mile relay is on exhibition here. Tuskegee is representing the South at the meet by sending her star men in the field and half-mile events. BLACK SOX RALLY TO DEFEAT HILLDALES BALTIMORE, Md., May 8—Pounding on the offerings of Red Ryan in their half of the eighth inning Ben Taylor's Baltimore Black Sox scored 4 runs to take a 4-2 engagement from the Hilldales at Maryland Park here this afternoon. The story of the decision might well be cited in one inning, the eighth. With the Darbyites leading 2-0 Ben Taylor's crew snatched the game out of the fire by virtue of a 4 run rally. Clarke batted for Yokely and singled. After Johnson walked, Holloway filed out to short, Jackson, the Sox new second sacker connected for a triple counting Force, who had replaced Clarke on the runways and Johnson. Wilson walked as did Taylor. With the bags crowded Washington singled scoring Jackson, advancing Wilson and Taylor. Eggleton's sacrifice loft scored Wilson for the fourth marker. DUNBAR WINS AND LOSES The Dunbar High baseball team won from Coach Teddy Chamber's Manassas nine 8-6 last Thursday afternoon at the High School stadium. Harry Robinson pitching in the relief role displayed a varied assortment of shoots which kept the Virginia batters guessing. Tolson, a right hander started for the visitors, but failed to last, being relieved in the sixth by a southpaw, Henderson. Errors of commission as well as omission allowed the Shaw Junior High tossers to get away with a 4-3 verdict last Monday afternoon, when the support behind Robinson, Red and Black Ace cracked. The most costly misplay occurred late in the game when with the First streeters trailing they filled the bases with one out to no avail. A ground ball to the pitcher was converted into a double play. The Dunbar lad on third base made no attempt to score, hence an easy force play was made at the plate. Other runners congregated around the keystone sack while the third out was made. Thus the Red and Black hopes for a rally and a victory were blasted. LINCOLNS TO PLAY DULIN AND MARTIN The fast traveling Lincoln A.C. baseball team will attempt to take their fourth straight game of the season, Sunday at 3 o'clock on Diamond 6 of the Monument Lot. The Dulin and Martin nine will furnish the opposition. The Lincoln have defeated the Potomac Giants, the Hillsdals A.C. and the Black Barons. ANACOSTIA ATHLETICS—BLACK BARONS The newly organized Anacostia Athletics decisively defeated the Black Barons last Sunday on the former's grounds 11-3. The Anacostia 'team' put the game on ice in their half of the third inning by scoring an even half dozen markers. The Athletics' hurler, Reid, showed good form allowing the visiting nine only a few scattered hits. For games with the Anacostia nine call Atlantic 362. HILLDALE WITH WINTERS PITCHING BEATS BR'KLYN HILLDALE WITH WINTERS PITCHING BEATS BR'KLYN PHILADELPHIA, May 12.—With big Nip Winters pitching in rare form, Ed Bolden's Hilldale Club treated the Brooklyn Royal Giants to a coat of kalsomine in the final game of the series at Hildale park the final score being 3 to 0. The victory gave the Darby Daisies three straight wins over the visiting Brooklyn aggregation. While, Winters was the big noise of the fray, Pud Flournoy another southpaw flinger was very much in evidence and but for the lasse on the part of his supporting cast, a single marker is all that the Daisies could amass against Flournoy's benders. The very first inning proved to be disastrous to the visiting hurler. Otto Briggs pried open the home team's turn at bat in the right manner, his grass cutter past the third sack was too fast for Finley and Otto stretched it to a double by sprinting. Warfield walked, then he and Briggs worked a double steal. Washington's single bounded off the third sack and Briggs roomed home. Two for Hilldale Then it was that Cason's lasse paved the way for two more Hilldale tallies. Washington attempted a delayed steal of second base and when Cason failed to intercept Burnett's throw, both Warfield and Washington scored when the ball rolled into centerfield. After this inning Flournoy pitched airtight ball with only a few Hilldale runners getting on the sacks. Three snappy double plays executed by the Hilldale infeld snuffed as many rallies of the visiting Giants. Captain Frank Warfield playing with an injured hand was charged with two errors, but fairly scintillated in engineering a couple of double plays. Namon Washington of the home team and Red Smith of the visitors bagged the individual honors for their respective teams. Washington bounded out two hits, one of them for three bases and trailed Pud Flournoy's long drive to the centerfield boards. Smith produced two of the Giants' trio of safe blows and also covered the right field like a blanket. The victory gave Hilldale three victories against two defeats in the Eastern Colored League.

HOWARD BEATS STORER HARPERS FERRY, W. Va., May 7—Catcher Dewey Lomax who sometimes hits home runs for the Hilltop college, hit one today against Storer College in the third inning. He leaned heavily on Arrington's first pitch and sent the ball far out into center field. Lomax hit didn't win the game, but it tied the score and when Lester Braden singled to right field in the fifth scoring Gaskins from third base. Howard won the ball game, 5 to 2. "Lefty" Slade, varsity pitcher for the Bisons who has been on the sick list several weeks, thought he was ready and he was, allowing only seven scattered hits. Storer College scored in their half of the first inning. Payne, first up who was safe at first on Anderson's error, was thrown out by Lomax stealing second. Mackey singled to right field and stole second cleanly, and scored a moment later on Carroll's double to center field. Reed popped to Codwell, and Monroe took Ford's hot liner and threw him out at first base. Scored their second run in the fourth when Murry took first on Monroe's error, stole second, goes to third on William's sacrifice hit, scores on Grilliam's error. In round five, Lomax started the rally with a single, Gaskins was hit by pitcher and advanced Lomax to second, Slade singled and Lomax scored, Gaskins safe at third and crossed the plate with the deciding run when Braden singled to right field. Slade scored on Gilliam's sacrifice, Braden added another run, and last run for Howard on Payne's error. In the next stanza Slade and Arrington started a pitching dual which lasted throughout the remaining innings and neither team was able to send a run across the home plate. Howard Defeats Morgan Coach Johnny Burr' Bisons took very kindly to the offerings of Lanky Jones, Wednesday on the Hill and consequently annexed a 12-4 verdict over the Morgan College Bears. Slade, Howard's star pitcher, was Jones' antagonsit on the hill, and his assortment of twisters kept the visiting counters down to 4 while his teammates were gathering an even dozen. Rap wheatley, and Pinky Clarke were other members of the famous Collegiate Championship basketters seen in Drew's lineup. Wheatley in left and Clarke at short played good games. Union League Team W.

TENNIS TOURNA-MENT By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. May 19.—Hampton Institute will act as host for the fourth annual tennis tournament of the Colored Inter-collegiate Athletic Association to be held on May 21, as announced by J. L. Whitehead, chairman of the tournament committee. The chairman has been very fortunate ir' securing the services of J. W. Anderson, Virginia State Singles champion, as chief referee. All schools that are members of the C.I.A.A. will send representatives to take part in the singles and doubles. Last year Shaw University romped away with the title in doubles, while Virginia Seminary captured that in singles. Many preparatory duel matches have been held between different members, and it is expected that stiff competition will be the order of the day. Eight Clay Courts Gideon E. Smith, director of local arrangements for the tournament states that eight clay courts have been put into excellent condition for the tournament. They will also be used for the National Tennis Association meet to be held in August. All other details have been worked out and the meet will begin promptly at 8 o'clock Saturday morning, May 21. Much interest has been created in the various Negro schools and colleges for tennis as a sport worthy of recognition among the higher forms of athletic competition. The C.I.A.A. has recognized the interest and need of tennis and has made the tournament an annual affair for the members of the association.

Tues., 17—Vet's Bureau vs. Treasury SEVEN Hampton's Blue and White nine scored a decisive victory, 9-2, over Lincoln University's baseball nine while the latter was on its Southern trip. The Blue and White batters hit Hall, Lincoln's pitcher, for five runs before the team could pull itself together and stop the batting rampage. Adams, pitching for Hampton was cool and well under control throughout the greater part of the game. Once or twice he got into difficulties, from which only a masterful arm could deliver him. The support given him by his teammates was of the highest caller Adams struck out eleven of Lincoln's batters while the opposing pitchers failed to strike out any of Hampton's batters. Wall, relief pitcher for Hall, kept the Blue and White slugging bunch well under his eye, except for a few instances when errors in the supports were costly. Byrd, Castor, Harris, Butler, and Captain Williams were the outstanding stars in the victory for the Blue and White, while Hibbler, Wall and Temple were the stars for Lincoln. R. H. E.

SOUTHLAND REVUE AT THE HOWARD NEXT WEEK The Howard Theatre manager at has secured for the week of May 16 the "Southland Revue" with a great all-star colored cast, which includes such well known performers as Tim Moore, the Berry Brothers, Dusty Flechter, Jimnie Johnson, Campbell and Farrell, Cora La Redd and Violet Speedy together with a chorus of ten beautiful, speedy, dancing girls. Comedy vies with beautiful dancing and sweet music to make the Revue one of the finest that has been seen at the Howard in a good many months. The chorus of the "Southern Revue" is excellently tranied. One, a drill, is the finest seen in these parts of the country this season. There is a little girl in this Revue who is new to Howard Theatre goers, who contributes a little novelty to the numbers. She is Cora La Redd, who is a fine little "clown." Ethel Williams and Violet Speedy in this production do very creditable work. Tim Moore, Freddy Johnson, the Berry Brothers, Dusty Fletch and Jimmie Johnson need no introducto to the Washington theatre goers as their past performances have been instilled in the minds of th public, never to be forgotten. The Howard management announces that it has succeeded in getting some of the finest shows on the Columbia Circuit, such as "4-11-44" with Eddie Hunter, and an all-star cast, "Lucky Sambo," an "Rarin-to-Go" which will be played at the Howard in the very near future. The shows that have just been mentioned assures the Howard patrons of a series of fine programs for summer. On the screen for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 16, 17 and 18 will be seen "Rubber Tires" with Bessie Love and Harrison Ford. This picture embraces a trip from New York to California with these two fun makers in a motor car of the vintage of 1100 and visits all the tourist camps with the other "tin can" tourists. It never misses on any laugh cylinder. It is an exquisite picture of love and adventure. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday May 19, 20, 21, and 22 Edward Everett Horton appears in "The Whole Town's Talking." This is a picture of the terrible tangle of a nice young man and a Hollywood movie actress. A ludicious, hilarious story of a good little chap who tried like the devil to be bad and bungled the job. A luscious treat for gossips and others. On Friday the regular midnight ramble will begin at 12:15 sharp and two and a half hours of good entertainment. Tickets go on sale the Saturday of the week before the show. By S. H. Dudley, Sr. PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED IN MOVIE VENTURE By S. H. Dudley I have been writing about a colored picture corporation, thru these columns until I have interested the following business men: Bob Murray of Boston, Mass., J. H. Maxwell, of Washington, D.C., W. P. Dabney, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Tom Smith, of Baltimore, Md., and Henry Jones, of Chicago, Ill. The above named men all stand for something in the business world and I don't see why we can't get together and put this wonderful proposition over. I also have several letters from others, but as I have said before I am too busy to give this my personal attention present, so it is up to some of these who are interested to take to where I left off and finish this same proposition. My idea would be to call a meeting of these men, organize and incorporate and then offer the stock to the public at a fair price and cover the entire United States. We must sell a million dollars' worth of stock. The par value should be $10 per share, sold on 25 per cent down and 10 per cent curtailment each month. Stock should be sold in blocks of $100 or more, then in order to not eat up the money, there should be no expense for salary to be paid to any one until the company began making pictures. Of course the stock salesman must get a percentage for selling the stock. Just what the stock should sell for per share I have not figure out, but the par value should be $10 and pav 8 per cent on the investment. The common stock would be the profit sharing stock and I think the public at large should have the preference of buying either they prefer. I realize this is a big thing and it will take time to put it over but after it is once open and started operation, money will pour in, providing the product offered the public meets the public's approval and cannetes favorably with the white pictures. This is easy if we only try and make this a staple business enterprise and not a get-rich-quick or grafting scheme. For this reason we must be careful in selecting the heads of this organization. Let's keep boosting until we get colored pictures by a Negro firm that can be and will be shown in any theatre. DUDLEY'S T.O.B.A. BOOKINGS The T.O.B.A. route list for the week of May 16 from S. H.

Dudley, Sr. I visited the Elmo Theatre in Pittsburgh last week and found Irvin Miller's "Running Wild Company" playing the Globe and found Halcamp's "Smart Set Mistrels" playing to fair business. It looks as though the show business over the country is about the same. Just what can be done to invigorate it is puzzling, not only to me, but to all showmen and theatre owners. I really do believe that a meeting of all the colored theatre owners and producers should be called to thrash out the situation. It is true that the Theatre Owners Booking Association is securing the best available attractions, but it is not making any money for the managers or for the association. Business always falls off in the summer, but never has it fallen as it has this spring. We should call a meeting to discuss the problem thoroughly, and to exchange ideas, and try to boost business. I think that the managers should all be willing to meet. I am sure the producers would. I feel certain that each theatre owner would like to express his ideas. Such meetings might help, and if not, they could do no harm. Why not call such a meeting as soon as possible? Who is willing? Let me hear from you. I think Chicago, Cleveland, or St. Louis are the proper places as they are centrally located. Of course Washington is my perfor- ence. You know why—so let it drop at that. Unless something is done and done quickly and wisely there will be lots of for rent signs on the theatres. I am having a sign painted now, but I have not fully decided when or which one of my theatres it will go up on first Footlights By "Mae" Kirkpatrick and Bowman, at the Lincoln, are scoring a big hit in their final week. It's a rare treat to see their acts. Aside from being very good singers, their dramatic ability is more than commendable. The appreciation of the audiences is shown by the loud and long applause given each of their presentations. Nothing could have been more appropriate for "Mother's Day" and the week following it, than the program these two artists offered. The closing selection of "Silver Threads Among the Gold" was enough to bring tears to the eyes of the tender hearted. During the singing of this song, there was no necessity for the reading on each side of the stage reading "Silence Please." The audience was, no doubt, captivated and quietness reigned supreme. Acts of this nature will always be welcomed and well received at the theatres. When Kirkpatrick and Bowman leave at the end of this week, Brown and Marguarite, whirl and dancers, and features of the Anache dance will take their place. These two are very popular with Washington Theatre goers, and as the boy who stood on the burning deck said, "They ought to get away!" The Broadway Theatre is adopting a new policy of presenting the entire program of the Little Theatre each Saturday at 12 o'clock THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927 though Eldridge and Spencer seemed to have held the edge, but at that, it was only a slight edge, for Wilson and McGarr were a close second, and the single act of Johnny Snowden wasn't far behind in third. I'd rate the bill about 80 per cent entertaining. Well, the Howard brought us "A Trip to Araby" this week. Using the words of a certain Howard University Medical School professor, "It wasn't any . . ."; but at the same time, some very entertaining features were included. But the outstanding thing which came to my notice was the way the chorus girls dressed in a certain scene. They must have thought they were in New York, playing at the Lafayette Theatre; for they certainly compiled to every letter of the New York Actors Law. Do you know what scene I mean? Well, the one where the girls came tripping out in the white full length tights. What a contrast to the Egyptian scene of last week, when tights were as pasee as long-hair grandmothers. Y THEATRE G.

The first offering will be given this Saturday, and will be called "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari." The National Board of Review Magazine says of this picture: "In The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari the motion picture for the first time stands forth in its integrity as a work of art. The story is a phantasy of terror told with the virtuosity of a Poe, in terms of the screen. Its emotions appeal to a universal audience. "Even if stripped to its barest outline, it would still compel our attention, for it deals with the fascinating problem of one person's supernatural control over another. But it acquires the irresistible quality of all true art because it is told with such complete mastery of medium that its terror becomes an aesthetic delight." The Republic Theatre put on an entertaining little bill Saturday night. All three acts were good, 7th and T Sts Northwest Phone, North 5224 ukelele and sings the pretty sentimental pieces? Well, he's certainly with the right show now, a sheik show. Why, hes really a sheik. When I was there getting my eyes and ears full for this column, he was a-singing and making goo-goo eyes at a certain little Miss in the audience just as if there was no one else in the theatre. And, chile, don't you know when I went outside and around the corner to go backstage, who should I see just outside the stage door but the little sheik talking to his newly made sheba. Of course, I'm not the sorta guy who likes to talk 'bout other folks' business, but he was asking her if she was going to let him come to see her. Now, ain't he a sheik? But that isn't all. . . he can sing, too, don't forget, besides play the ukelele. This looks like a frame-up. Before I started this column, almost every show that came here had a few Washington girls in the chorus. Now look what's happened. Last week, there was one girl from Washington with the Kentucky Club Revue, and this week . . . there just ain't none. That's that. SPORTS (Continued from page 7) EASTERN LEAGUE By Lloyd P. Thompson Now that all of the clubs in the Eastern loop have been in actual combat the early Spring dope on the strength of the respective clubs is now authentic. While it is yet early for prediction there are apparent facts that stand out from the initial tilts. Jim Keenan's Lincoln Glants are socking the pill. The one trail that wins more ball games than all of the strategy in the country, is very evident among the henchmen of Jim Keenan. In the recent double header with the Hilldale outfit, the EPUBL W E.

It took eleven runs for the Lincoln's to win these games and six of them were produced on three hits all home run drives. The acquisition of Connie Rector and Julius Rojo give the Lincoln team an experienced battery and judging from their work against the Hildale team, they will be a world of help to the Bronx Club. Then too, George Scales, Burdell Young, Charlie Mason and John Henry, himself, clouted the ball savagely. Daisies Blow Up While the Lincoln's were registering improvement, the Hilldale outfit showed symptoms of losing power, especially on the attack. The Daisies garnered more hits than their rivals but most of them went to seed when the potent blow was missing to send the base runners over the pan. Their spurt against the Brooklyn Royal team is no indication of added power. The Brooklyn appeared destined to a similar fate for the present campaign. The addition of a couple of youngsters in Arnold and Seay to the Brooklyn line-up has added an air of hustle that was missing in the old combination, but has done nothing to strengthen the club on the attack. The prospects of the Hildale team is hampered all the more because of the ill luck that is stalking the team. Clint Thomas was forced out of the game through an injury sustained in New York and will be lost to the club for ten days or more and now Judy Johnson the third sacker, is on the sick list to add to Bolden's woe. Bacharach Giants Whatever the Bacharach Giants, the past season's champions do in future games, the work of the Bees' hurlers against the Cuban Stars was a gilt edge performance and a factor that will go a long way toward keeping the Atlantic City team up in the running.

Then Roy Roberts, the fifth man on the staff is also a capable finger. Henderson took the Cuban's into camp in the first game of the Cubans' opener at Newark and Roy Roberts came to Ferrell's aid to take the second encounter. The Black Sox Ben Taylor's Baltimore Black Sox minus several of the past season's star players appear to be more formidable aggregation, due to the fact that the aging Hoosier has them working as a unit and not the perperimental stars that hindered the progress of the club for the past two years. The fact that they held Colonel Strother's Harrisburg Giants, the hardest hitting combination in the circuit to an even break in the doublecader at Baltimore, speaks well for the prospects of the dark based crew. Of the new cities that are in the circuit that the league has taken over for additional parks, Alex Pompez' venture in Newark, N. J., appears to be an assured success. The opening game with the Bacharach Giants enticed 14,000 cash customers into the confines of the spacious David's Stadium. At Mt. Holly, N. J., the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Hildale drew a good crowd considering the early data for twilight ball and from indications the whole town was in order, to turn out to the Saturday opening date scheduled for the Cubans and Lincoln Giants but was washed out by rain.
