ried to William X. Rhodes September,
1897, came to Colorado. During their
sojourn she became interested in
vocal music and to carry out this idea
she sought entrance to the School of
Music, where she showed excellent
qualities to become great singer.
This pleased her teacher very much.
Then her teacher permitted her to
appear before the public on two occa-
sions in Zion Baptist church. The
rendition was so well performed, she
was encored, and many compliments.
But owing to slight touch of heart
trouble she had to give up vocal study
for while. Not being satisfied in do
ing so, she turned her attention to
writing music, and has written sew
eral songs, which are in the hands OF
the music publishers. One entitled,
Sing On. Birdie" has been published
and many copies sold

Dear CO-WOrkers. Under varied

returns with a greater determination
to extend the work beyond the bor-
ders OF Colorado. Mr.. William r.
Rhodes Is student OF the State Uni.

coming to this city about eight years
ago he has gained the esteem and
confidence of all whom he has come
in contact He is polite and generous

for the elevation OF his race. Since
assuming the duties as executive head
of the order in Colorado about three

Credit for the Achievements

credit for the achievements accom-
plished in various avocations, is Mr..
William r. Rhodes of this city, who
is the State Grand Master of the U.

Department. At National Convention
of the order held at Lexington, Ky.
the latter part of July and the first of

who have been using their time,

work of the U. b. F.. and S. NJ. T.. and

MANY TROUBLES
Will Probably Prevent Walsh Weeks
Bout At Denver Friday Night.

The bout between Jimmy Walsh and
Freddie Weeks. which was to have
been held in Denver on Friday night,
will probably not take place. 1t dp-
pears that RedJy Gallagher, who had
secured the bout. could not pull it on
as he had no permit. the Denver A. G.
having the only permit for the month.
Gallagher offered to turn the match
over to the Denver A. c. people and
let them pull it off in his large Coli
scum. but the mayor stepped in and
notified all interested that if the Den
yer Club took the match it would have
to hold it in his own hall, which is a
small one.
Walsh offered to go on under these
conditions. but Weeks refused.
The Denver Club then sent East for
an opponent for Walsh, and secured
Joe Wagner of New York. Wagner
will most likely meet Walsh Friday
night. Weeks being the champion OF
Colorado. the bout between him and
Walsh would draw a big gate ana. be

test

Bernie Wefers Will Succeed Ernie
Hjertbere, Resigned.

New York. June 10.-After lacking a
trainer for several months. since Ernie
HJertberE went over to the New York A.
G., the Irish-Amcrican A. G. has at last
corralled man whom the club members
consider to be the best that they could
desire. He is Bernie Wefers, holder of
the records OF ? as seconds and p Is sec
onds for the 100 and 220-yard dashes. re-
spectively, and better man to train
sprir,ters and long distance runners would
be hard to find. Since he gave up running
himself he has trained various teams. his
latest position being at Williams College,
where the Irish American found him.
Wefers' appointment stills the story
that Bill Quinn. the Harvard trainer or
DR.. A. G. Kranzlein was to have the po-
sition. Either Of these men would have
been acceptable, but Quinn was kept at
Harvard by change of plans of the Ath-
letic Association, and there was abso-
Iutely no ground for the use of Kraen-
Zlein's name in connection with filling the
vacancy. Berney Wefers came into prom
inence as sprlntcr years ago when no
was student at Georgetown University.

still making a wry face over it. Two
men were working in New York that
day, and one could have been sent to
Boston as well as not. Under no cir
curmstances should it be possible for
any PLAYER to officiate as umpire in a
major league game who is connected
with either club.
Nothing could show more strongly
the need of the double umpire system
in both major leagues. With two UNI

could no. well be any sIip-up, such as
there was in this city. There are now
six umpires on each staff. As we'll go
