Rush of Prosperity. These completed the work that the sudden rush of prosperity had started, and the glory of marrying a white woman, however soiled, had furthered.

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.

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 Saves Leg of Boy, "It seemed that my 14-year-old boy would have to lose his leg on account of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad briuse,” wrote D F.

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. Cubs and Cardinals at Loss. But where will the Cubs and Cardinals land when they lose the leadership of their managers ' I can see Charley Murphy with out the controlling hand of Frank Chance.
