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
fighters 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 on£ knows the
exact number. He had served’two
or three jail sentences.-. He -lias
abducted white, women and assault
ed little negroes. 'He'has Said that
lie doesn’t tiiiXik much-of the United
States and "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 to 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 was
given him in the lean day when he
was often hungry. Contracts,
written or Verbal, were forgotten
tlie 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 witli
champion fighters because of John
son's race. This is unfair. His col
or has simply accentuated his rot
tenness and in no way caused it.
There have been plenty of white
fighters who were his rivals in
brutishness. It is an animal sport,
and tlie greater percentage of pure
beast in the makeup of a man the,
greater his chances for success,
financial gain and the inevitable
sequel—a riot of bestial pleasure.
Today the negro champion is an
outcast, and the penitentiary is
closing in on him. Realizing that
l.is example is hurting them in ev
ery way, his own people have cast
him off wherever they are so or-

Booker T. Washington, who has

things when Johnson clubbed into
senselessness the other brute who
had taken his reward of alcohol
and vice and was no longer fit to
fight. Washington hastened to take
all of this back and denounced the
prize fighter. He says he should
never be alloyved to appear in pub

speak of him with respect.
Chance or Bresnahan May Lead Brooklyn Team
•'■•••'•
Charley Ebbets Wants One of Them for Manager
By Sain 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 make 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 club across
the bridge, after whom the Super
bas’ new horn? is named, has al
ready entered into negotiations
with both Chance and Bresnahan.
If he secures either, he can an
nounce a new holiday, because all
Brooklyn will applaud. Yes, all the
fans over there in that burg will
go further—they will get up on
their tiptoes and yell poems of joy.
The engagement of Chance or
Bresnahan would put new life into
baseball In Brooklyn, and be a most
fitting climax to the 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 ball park, can
well afford to pay the money that

IT SEEMS ALMOST MARVELOUS
Again the Wonderful Cura
tive Power of Quaker
Herb Extract Is
Displayed.
This tinr it is no other than a young
man, _’u years of age -Mr. (’haries I>
(livens, v. ho resides with his parents at
East Point, this city, lie has been a
sufferet- for tile past flic years with
what was supposed to be some form of
stomach trouble, but. after taking six
doses of Quaker Extract, expelled a
monster 61-foot tape worm, head and
all complete.
Mr. < (wens is a young- man of this
<-it> \lt hough 20 years of age, he has
hoi a hard struggle for life. The com
mencement of his troulih was about
four icats ago He would have a great
he would have to spend to secure
either Bresnahan or Chance. And
believe me, Ebbets has shown him
self such 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 ids club both artistic and
financial success.
Without wishing to detract from
the ability of the managers the
Brooklyn club had since Ned
Hanlon, still the fact remains that
the Superbas have not been a suc
cess under the managers the team
has had since, and many of the
annual failures have been due or
charged, anyhow, against the late
managers.
There is no doubt that tlie 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 outrageoush
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. (
