Chicago. Dec. 13.-"Buddy" Ryan,
the local welterweight and Billy Mel
lody of Boston. who were to have met
in a ten-round battle before the Har-
lem Athletic club at Harlem last night
refused to fight at the 11th hour when
they had sized up the attendance.
The fighters claimed complimentary
tickets had been sold and that there
was not enough real money in the
house. They demanded a guarantee
of $1,000 before they would don the
gloves, but this was refused by the
management. According to the agree
ment the men were to have fought for
60 per cent of the gross receipts, but
this contract they ignored when it was
discovered there was not much more
than $500 in the hall.
The failure of the men to fight
caused considerable disturbance
among the spectators who had paid to
see the battle. kid Howard who
looked after the distribution of the
tickets, jumped into the ring and
stated that only 100 complimentary
tickets, which he was entitled to, were
given out, and that all over that num-
Der had been sold. Sig Hart. who
looks after the interests of Ryan, also
stated his side of the story, as did also
Mooney. the manager of Melody.

I'VE ought to tell the truth about
the situation here. Instead of going to
the congress of the United States and
saying that there is no distinction made
in Mississippi because of color or pre-
vious condition of servitude, we ought
to tell the truth about it, and say this:
Tried and Failed.
1--WE tried for many years to live in
Mississippi and share sovereignty and
dominion with the negro. We saw the
public funds squandered, we saw the
civilization that our forefathers fought
for passing away, and the law of self
preservation, being the first law, we
observed it.
I'VE rose in the majesty of the high
est type of Anglo-Saxon manhood and
took the reins of government out of
the hands of the ska'awag and the car
petbagger and the negro, and so help
us God from now on we will never
share any sovereignty or dominion
with him again.
