YOSEMITE CLUB
SECURES MATCH
Negotiations Are Conducted
Quietly and Announcement
Has Created Some Surprise
BRITT FIGHT AFFECTED
The Californian Says He Will
Not Meet the Featherweight
If This Event Goes Through

Young Corbett and Dave Sullivan
were matched by TIE Yosemite Club
yesterday 70 fight twenty rounds on
The last day Of this month in Mechan-
ics' Pavilion. The men have agreed to
weigh 1SO pounds at 6 o'clock on the
day Of the fight.
The announcement OF this match had
much the same effect on the people
interested in the COrbett-Britt fight as
would the explosion Of a bomb in their
midst Britt's attitude is summarized
in his words: If that fight is on my
fight with Young COrbett is off.
The Hayes Valley Club officials take
the same viewpoint and announce that
they viii not promote the fight II Cor
bett persists in keeping this engage
ment What complicates the case is
the fact that Referee Eddie Graney
holds a $500 forfeit from Britt and
another from the club, the former guar
anteeing the boxers appearance in the
ring and the latter guaranteeing the
ability Of the club to promote the con-
test
Britt said last night: Young Cor
bett takes the chance Of injuring his
hands or even Of being defeated, either
Of which would kill all interest in our
fight. The club managers also intended
10 boom our fight. but with this one
scheduled they could do nothing until
il had been decided. 1t means hard
work for me to make the weight at
which we are TO fight and I do not
want to do a months work for moth
ing. While there is no clause in the
articles binding Young Corbett not to
night. he gave me his word that he
would not do So"
"COrbett has only followed out his
usual custom in this matter" said
Manag CoffrOth Of the Yosemite Club
last night. Fighting is his business
and he tries 10 keep going all the time
When he signed for HanlOn a year ago
he went and fought Maynard on his
way out here. From the day he signed
s--ith Britt he has been endeaVoring TO
-et on another match. His point of
VieV-is simply this-he says the owner
Of race horse which is entered in
rich events starts his horse in cheaper
races when he sees a chance Of winning
some easy money and Of giving him a
good workout"
Sullivan was in Boston yesterday and
at once started for New York, en- route
Id this city. He has never fought Cor
bett. but has met McGOvern, Broad and
the other featherweights.
The making Of this match again puts
of Frankie Neils first appearance here
since ne won the championship. A
match had nearly been arranged be-
tween himself and Abe Attel. When
this fell through a match was sug-
gested between Neil and Monte Attel
at lis pounds. The pair may meet in

Body Found in the Bay.

The body of Francis Charlin, a
sailor, was found floating off Washing
ton-street wharf yesterday afternoon
by D. L. O'Brien and Frank Beggs
two employees Of the Mcneil Launch
Company. Deceased had been en-
ployed on the French ship Vercinge-
torix as engineer of the donkey engine
About twelve days ago he was paid off
and was subsequently seen drunk
along the water front. From the con-
dition of the body it is the opinion Of
Autopsy Surgeon Bacigalupi that the
body had been in the water about ten
days. An examination of the remains
gives no evidence OF foul play.

THE NEGRO NEWSPAPER.

No agency among the upl fling forces
of a people ranks higher than the
newspaper. Asa mouIderof sentiment
and stimulus it is unsurpassed, yet it
is surprising with what little encour-
agement In a substantial way most
newspaper enterprises are run. a
large number of our people want to
see credit given them in our papers for
every act, but seem to forget that type
setting costs very dearly. Many peo-
pie who are amply able and who like
to read the papers are nevertheless
quite ind ffeTent about paying their
subscriptions Some of them tell the
collector that they will 'ssee the ed
itor,'" others ask him to ''call sgain
Some say they ''Will mail a check"
which they forthwith forget to do.
These and hundreds of other charac-
terlstics of our people exhibit their in :
difference to the true value of a
newspaper in the community, and
people thus Indifferent to 30 powerful
an agency as the press, need to change
their attitude. Such a course hadi-
caps newspaper work in the race, and
destroys its only weapon of defense
against the daily ISLANDERS hurled
against us by the prejudiced and mar
row white newspaper organizations of
the country.
Let US as Negroes awake to the i'm
pOrtanee of the Negro press, Why, in
some places the white papers will not
print Negro church notices, and it is
seldom that ycu see any decent set Of
q Negro in them, but the vicious acts
are rolled over as a sweet morsel.

THE PATIENT NEGRO.

isucs OF the race is its patience un-
der American prejudice. We are

new pspers, and ger era ly treated IS q

ut,-barred cut of work sh pa, barred
out of theaters, barred out of sleepi az
cars, barred out of churches, even.
Yet the Negro bears 1t all with pa
tience; he Is not an anarchist. he Is
not socialist. but il ever ready st sll
times to take up arms in defenFe of the
country. The census shows a grester
per cent of Negro b.esdwlnners in the
6ou.h than whites. We are brsrlE z
the burdens of citizen hip, but not
treated like cltize S. Ours are only
the crumbs that fall from the masters
