A "NEoRo PROBLEM"
Fashionable Brooklyn Is Stirred on
the Subject

Brooklyn. N. Y, May 2.-The pro
pensity OF the goody-good people Of
this section to lecture the Southern
whites on the subject of the so-called
negro problem. will render the Incl
dent now in evidence here of special
interest in the South The swell sec
tion Of South Brooklyn known as
Borough Park. is extremely worried
over social problem Every resi-
dent is excited over the reported sale
of one Of the most desirable residences
in that part of the city TO a negro.
The news became public last week
and the park has been quivering with
excitement ever since It is a re-
stricted district, well built up. with
houses of rhe better class. a tidy
grass spot surrounding nearly every
one. with a flower garden just now
almost ready to burst into bloom.
William J. Howden. a local million
aire, made the sale to the negro. Mr.
Howden declares that he knew moth
ing about the details Of the sale, and
disclams all responsibility for the
transaction. He placed the property
In the hands Of his lawyer In good
faith, he says, who has no idea that
the purchaser might be a man who
would be obuoXious to the neighbors
After learning their sentiments, he
said today he would gladly have can
celed the whole matter but he learn
ed that a deposit had been made TO
his attorney and that he would be
liable in an action for breach Of con
tract If he attempted to interfere.
To add TO his troubles. MIR. Howden
received an anonymous letter on Sat
urday night, declaring that his house
would be burned unless he found a
way TO stop It's sale This letter Is
turned over to the police who have
placed a guard over the property.

For such cushions they'll be needing when they

On the ground with hardened surface or 20

Secret signals they're devising and they're
working up new stunts
In the handling OF the pigskin and the passes

With intent to fool the rivals they'll be meeting

A trade Of Isbell, Of the White Sox, for
Hickman. of Cleveland, is being discussed
by the two clubs mentioned.
Chicago and Cleveland broke even in the
series. each winning ten games. Each club
won eight Of its ten home games.
Jack O'Connor says he was only benched
twice this season, and not half hundred
times as yelps at him would imply.
The Columbus club has signed three
pitchers for next season, namely, Al Will
mot, Gus Bonno and Lefty Sugden.
If all the Reds pitchers had done the work
that Sutthoff has this season. the Reds
would now be fighting for the pennant.
Tom Hughes's work this season has more
than repaid Collins for holding on TO him
last year, when he was OF little or no use
to the club
Rumors are in circulation that Fred
Clarke may retire at the end Of the season.
and Clarke himself does not deny that he
contemplates such a step.
For q new pitcher in the League to win
four-nfths OF his games the first year Is a
remarkable feat, but this is what Jake
Weimer, of the Chicago Colts, has done.
Manager Buckenberger and the members
Of the Boston National League team sent
CONGRATULATIONS to Captain Collins and his
team on winning the American League
championship.
For the fourth time the cate OF FIRST
Baseman Ed Wheeler's marriage TO Miss
Howe, of Columbus has been set for a day
In October. Three times, for various reasons
the wedding has been postponed. Wheeler is
on the ST. Paul team.
There will be two games at Capital City
Park to-day. The Indianapolis Maroons
and indianapolis Unions will play the first
game. The winner of the first game will
play the Washingtons. First game will be
called at 100 and the second at $3.50.
President Strobel, of the Toledo club, on
his Eastern trip, picked up Deininger and
Stackpole. New England League pitchers.
and First Baseman Doc Hazleton, for
merly of Jamestown, who had been playing
with the Lebanon, N. H., independent club.
Harry Bay is one Of the lightest men In
major league baseball, but his speed is phe-
nOmenal He is very light on his feet, and
can get away from a base after fly
ball like a flash. Bays slender build is OF
decided advantage to him when 1t comes to
stealing bases, and it is almost hard to
tag him out when he slides for a base as II
would be bean pole.
