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?

'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.

A Washington gathering of negroes declared that he was not even a man, much less a negro. Booker T. Washington, who has been a useful servant of the black race and Should have had more sense, was pleased to say some nice 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 lic again and that no negro should 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 4 Saves Leg of Boy.

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.
