and perjured himself before the cus
tom officers to get it in free of duty.
Don’t all our society people do
that?
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 has
abducted white women and assault
ed-little negroes: He has sai'dtfla’t
he doesn’t think much of the United
States and “has renounced his al
legiance." He has trfed’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
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 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 the 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
liis example is hurting them in ev
ery way, his own people have cast
him off wherever they are so or-
STATEN SURE HE
HASARRANGEU
GOOD CARD
When the boxing lid is cracked off
again for the season tomorrow night
at Harry Staten’s new Olympic' 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 am sure that these boys will scrap
and not stall." says Staten. "They have
both written that they are mighty anx
ious to get a start in the South, and I
have assured them that a good show
ing in Atlanta will not onlv 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 boys, will furnish the semi-wind
up. with two good negro pugs in the
preliminary. A battle rbyal will start
the evening’s festivities.

Washington gathering of negroes
declared that he was not even a
man, much less a negro.
Booker T Washington, who ha«
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 he should
never be allowed to appear in pub
lic again and that no negro should
speak of him with respect.

Chance or Bresnahan May Lead Brooklyn Team
-I-e-r
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 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 home is named, has al
ready entered into negotiations,
with both Chance and Bresnahan.
If ho 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 tibw that March 17, Si. 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 time it is no other than a young
niati. years of ag> Mr. Charles jS.
Itiwens. who resides with his parents at i
I East Point, this city. He iias been a'
sufferer for the past live years with
what was supposed to be some form of
stomach trouble, but. after taking six
doses of Quaker Extract, expelled a
monster HI-foot tap, worm, head and
all complete.
Mr. Owens is a young man of this
eit\. Although years of age. lie has
had a hard struggle for life. Tile com
mencement of his trouble was about
four years 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 his club both artistic and
financial success.
Without wishing to detract from
the ability of the managers the
Brooklyn club has 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 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 outrageously
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?

Chance. Owner Murphy is proba

possibilities in a thousand ways. The pioneer work is done. , II

tending down into the lower limbs.
Charlie, as lie is familiarly called, hits
hail several very good positions, but,
owing to his poor health, would have to
give them up after a short time. He
has had set ■ ral attacks of fever. Four
year-- ago he was laid up for several
we. iis. in fact, has lo op very much
alarfmd, and the strangest thing of it
all, with all his poor health, he could
ieat more at one meal than an ordinary
small family. After eating a good,
hearty meal, within one hour lie would
i lie hungry again, and still he grew
'thinner and weaker. 1 luring all these
five years he has been trying different
treatments, dosing with almost every
thing on the market, but nothing he
took ever gave him even the slightest
relief, and so he suffered on. as he said,
when lie called at Course) ,x- Munn’s
I Drug Stole and told how lie suffered
I w ith his stomach, and told about all the
Chance that has carried Murphy
along. Money has come his way—
barrels full—but at what an ex
pense! He has thought only of
the money in sight. The hereafter
of his club, team and baseball it
self was secondary to Murphy, pro
vided he could gather ail the com
that his shortsightedness could see
for the time being.
He was not diplomatic, and that
is one of the worst mistakes any
man who is catering to the base
ball public could be gtiilty of.
When any one gets to become as
money mad as Murphy appeared to
be in the heyday of his ownership
of the Cubs, a disastrous reaction
is sure to occur.
And the Cardinals without Bres
nahan? Why, they will be in about
the same position as the Giant#
would be without McGraw.

treatment he had taken, without the
least results. He was told then that a
tape worm was causing all his trouble.
I truly believe, and. if it is, you take
this Quaker Extract, according to di
rections on the bottle, and watch for
results. He did, and. behold! six—just
six doses were taken. He felt a little
disturbance in his bowels, responding
to nature’s call, and expelled a monster
tape worm, head and all. squirming
