The prime movers of this league are J.
HI. Lott, DR.. B. ]. Morgan and A. e.
Manning. Gurley Brewer, editor of
the World, the negro organ, who is

of the Negro Business league will make
inquiry concerning them, and th6N
who will not work will be reported Il
the authorities with request that the
be driven out of town. This scheme OF
ridding the city of worthless negroes is,
both practical and sensible"

the British Team In a Close Fin
ish "a Victory Is Gained by
Fifteen Points.

LONDON. July 13.-The American ri
file team has won the match for the Pal

victory of the American riflemen was

function, and he and Captain Merrillon
of the French team congratulated the
Americans upon their success. Major
Fremantle, captain of the British team,
proposed the health of the winners,
saying the best team had won. Colonel
Leslie G. Bruce, captain of the Ameri-
can team responded, in the course of
his remarks stating that the conditions
of the days match were favorable for
his men and inviting the other teams to
visit Sea Girt next year.
A cablegram was sent to President

telling of another international trophy
secured for the United States.

got" for more than a score of years at
and won by Canadian team, who in
1902 were beaten by British team.
Now a United States team has come
over to old England and, as is the
habit of Americans when they set their
minds to anything, they will return
with the shield in their baggage.

day. The grand total of the Ameri-
can team was 1910 out of a possible
1900.
Last year the victorious British
eight scored 1859 points, and the pres

advantage When the firing in the
first round at 800 yards was over the
home team was leading by three points.
At the next range, 900 yards, the
Americans turned the tables and finish
ed eight points to the good.
At the next and longest range the
Americans added to their lead by seven
points, winning the trophy by fifteen
points.
Funds have been subscribed or are
promised already to enable British
| team to go to the United States IN
| 1904 to endeavor to recapture the Pal
ma trophy. British rif1emen are de-
lighted at this prompt action. 1t is
stated that the Norwegians will also
send a team to the United States for
next years match.

discussing the lessons of the Palma tro-
