These completed the work that
the sudden rush of prosperity had

a white woman, however soiled,

made in a few hours a year, than

White Wife a Suicide.
He was as good or better than
anybody else socially and financial
ly. Everybody about him told him
so. The unwritten law of race
segregation that intelligent negroes,
for the peace of their race, hold
as sacred as the whites was not
for him. Wasn’t he the champion
prize fighter of the world, and
hadn’t the other champion prize
lighters disgraced themselves to
their heart’s content with white
women? When his white wife com
mitted suicide and he seemed to
have some difficulty in getting an
other white wife he brazenly
abducted a white girl.
He had been arrested about thir
ty-five times. No one know s the
exact number. He had served two
or three jail sentences. fie has
abducted white women and assault
ed little negroes. He has said that
he doesn't think much of the United
States i.nd "has renounced his al
legiance." He has tried to kill wit
nesses who dared appear against
him in his various legal troubles
and has contracted all sorts of
debts without the slightest Idea
of ever paying.
He tried tt> send his own brother
to the penitentiary and explained
that it was "brother love.” and
there is no case on record where
he has ever shown the slightest
gratitude for the help that yvas
given him in the lean day when he
was often hungry. Contracts,
written or verbal, were forgotten
the moment he made them unless
his inclination happened to be to
ward fulfillment at the time set.
All of these outbreaks of what
is really but the abnormal condi
tion of a vain and twisted child’s
mind in the body of a great fight
ing brute have been given rather
more publicity than is usual with
champion fighters because of John
son’s race. This is unfair. His col
or has simply accentuated his rot
tenness am! in no way caused it.
There have been plenty of white
fighters who were his rivals in
brutishness. It Is an animal sport,
and the greater percentage of pure
beast in the makeup of a man the
greater h!s /nances for success,
financial gain and the inevitable
sequel—a riot of bestial pleasure.

outcast, and the penitentiary is

STATEN SURE HE
HASfIfGANGED
GOODCARD
When the boxing lid is cracked off
again for the season tomorrow night
at Harry Staten's new < Hytnpic club,
the veteran Atlanta promoter believes
he has a card arranged that will give
the glove game an impetus in the city
that will flourish until summer weath
er returns. The headline attraction
will be Terry Mitchell against Barney
Ford.
Both of these fellows are Eastern
welters and the matchmaker’s reports
are that they are both fast, willing
workers.
"I sun sure that these boys will scrap
and not stall." -ays Staten. "They have
both written that they are mighty anx
ious io get a start in the South, and 1
have assured them that a good show
ing in Atlanta will not oiilv mean more
bouts right here, but in Chattanooga,
Nashville. Memphis and Jacksonville as
well.
"They have been described to me as
hard hitters and experienced ring men,
and the combination ought certainly to
please."
Eddie Hanlon and Clarence Collins,
local noys, will, furnish the semi-wind
up. with two good negro pugs in the
preliminary. A battle royal will start
the evening s festivities.

speak of him with respect.
Chance or Bresnahan May Lead Brooklyn Team
Charley Ebbets Wants One of Them for Manager
By Sam Crane.
NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—With
Frank Chance and Roger
Bresnahan on the manage
rial market, as now seems proba
ble, there appears to be a most
lovely chance for those owners of
the National league clubs who have
not fixed themselves for astute and
most valuable leaders of teams to
take advantage of the great oppor
tunity presented, by fortifying
themselves with the best manage
rial talent in the business.
Greater New York baseball fans
are more Interested right now on
what decision President Ebbets. of
the Brooklyn club, will mak.e in
his choice for manager of the Su
perbas than what other clubs will
do. The Giants are, of course, well
fixed with McGraw as leader, and
he will probably be a fixture as
such just so long as he, himself is
agreeable.
Ebbets Is Negotiating.
I have it on good authority that
the genial owner of the dub across
Ihe bridge, after whom the Super
bas’ new home is named, has al
ready entered into negotiations
w ith both Chance and Bresnahan.
If he secures either, he can an
nounce a new holiday, because all
Brooklyn will applaud. Yes, all thn
fans over there in that burg will
go further—they will get up on
their tiptoes and .veil poems of joy.
The engagement of Chance or
Bresnahan would put new life into
baseball in Brooklyn, and be a most
fitting climax to th, grand opening
of Ebbets’ field that is sure to take
place next spring. And if Roger
Bresnahan is secured as manager
of the Superbas, I make the sug
gestion now that March 17. St. Pat
rick's day, be announced as the
date of the opening ceremonies.
Ebbets Can Afford the Price.
President Ebbets. with the added
attraction of his new hall park, can
well afford to pay the money that

IT SEEMS
Again the Wonderful Cura
tive Power of Quaker
Herb Extract Is
Displayed.
This time it is no other than a young
man, 20 years of ,<g< —Mr. ('haries D.
Owens. y. ho resides w ith his parents at
East Point, this city. Hr- lias been a
fluff* rer for the'past five years witli
what was supposed to be some form of
stomach trouble bu' after takinv six
doses of Quakei Extract, expelled a
monster Hl-foot tap. worm, head and
all complete.
Mr. Owens is a young man of this
city. Although 20 wars of agt. he has
had a hard struggle for life, The com
mencement of his trouble was about
four years ago. He would have a greut
he would have to spend to secure
either Bresnahan or Chance. And
believe me. Ebbets has shown Aim
self stu b a game fellow in building
the new Ebbets field in the face of
obstacles that would appall a less
plucky club owner, will not finish
at any cost to secure the manager
that is virtually certain to assure
him and his club both artistic and
financial success.
Without wishing to detract from
the ability of the managers the
Brooklyn dub lias had since Ned
Hanlon, still the fact remains that
the Superbas have not been a suc
cess under tile managets the team
has had since, and many of the
annual failures have peen due or
charged, anyhow, against the late
managers.
There is no doubt that the Brook
lyn club has had as strong a pitch
ing staff and certain individual
players that have been the bright
particular stars of the National
league. But lack of team work and
weakness in several positions have
held the team down outrage,•ttsl;
low compared with the splendid
nucleus the club had at the start
of many seasons.
The natural conclusion to arrive
at, therefore, is that a manager
with the fighting qualities, ability
and winning records that both
Bresnahan and Chance have would
surely make the Superbas as they’
stand today a first division club
and probably contenders for the
championship.

Cardinals land when they lose the
