MANAGERS
TO MEET
Wilson and Fitzgerald to
Discuss Contract
Tonight.

Graduate Manager Ed. Wilson, OF
George Washington University. is TO
meet Manager Fitzgerald. of the George
town football team tonight and have
talk with him about the Thanksgiving
Day football game between the two in
stitutions. which is now held up because
Georgetown demands % instead OF 30
per cent OF the net receipts.
Mr. Wilson said this morning there
we're only two copies OF the contract for
the annual football game between the
two schools. One Of those was in the
possession Of Mr.. Wilson, and the other
IN that OF Manager Bail, OF the George
Washington University eleven. who bor-
rowed 1t about month ago to familiar
ize himself with its conditions. Mr.. VII
son said this morning:
I do not believe Fitzgerald knew yes
tegday that the contract distinctly calls
cup. and did not expire When George
town happened to win two out Of the
first three matches and the cup. The
contract is very explicit on that point,
but IL was not generally so undersC0O9
by many Of those interested. I think
that Is what is the matter with FItz-
gerald
Our position remains the same and
we DO not see why We should back
down in the least to allow Georgetown
to make its claim for extra money at
this late date. Nor do ] think the
Georgetown students or faculty viii sup

set before them"

this morning. continued his policy OF re-
fusing to make any further statement,
but is said 10 have told private indi-
viduals there would be no Thanksgiving
game unless George Washington con-
sented 10 give up the extra money for
the new bleachers on Georgetown Field.

The FLEuR.pE.LIs ARr CLUB.

EOS
The beautiful home of Mrs. j. West
Bostic, was the scene of a jovial group
of club ladies Thursday, October 81.
Those present were Mesdames Sutton
Griggs, A. M. Townsend, H. A. Cam
eron, j.. W. Bostic, w. R. Baker, S. P.
Harris, d. A. Hart, C. o. Hadley, R.
P. Moore, A. G. Price, w. B. Vassar,
with Mesdames A. N. Johnson, Lewis
and Hughes as guests of honor. The
usual method of voting on names was
dispensed with and before the arrival
OF the guests, the club unanimously
elected Mesdames Lewis and Johnson
members Of the club by reclamation.
Then the program as announced at
the previous meeting was carried out.
The solo by Mrs. Cameron was rem
dered beautifully. Her sweet voice
thrilled the very soul and delighted
her hearers. Next came a paper on
Good Housekeeping" by Mrs. Har-
ris, which was full of excellent
thought and showed that the writer
knew how and where to clean and
beautify a house.
The club requested Mrs. Harris to
permit this most excellent article to
be printed in each of our colored pa
pers along with other notes of F. D. L.
A. Club, so that more housekeepers
may read and be benefited. All the
while the ladies were plying their
needles, each n striving to do more
and better work this club year than
ever before. A short, interesting talk
was also made by Mrs. Lewis.
At this point the hostess welcomed
the ladies into the dining room, where
was found a cheerful color scheme
of yellow and white prevailing. The
ladies enjoyed the d~aintily prepared
four-course men highly and bidding
the charming hostess and each other
a CHEEKY goodbye, departed to meet
with Mrs. H. A. Cameron, 1925 Eight
zenith avenue, North, November IA,
at 3 p. m., where Mrs. Hart will rem
der a solo, and Mrs. Baker will read
a paper, "The Nineteenth Century
Woman" The Query Box will also
be inaction at the next meeting.

FISK VS.. KNOXVILLE.

Coach Giles left Thursday morning
with fifteen wearers of the gold and
blue for Knoxville where they line up
with the mountain boys to settle the
dispute as to which is entitled to the
honor of supremacy on the 1907 grid
iron.
Last year Knoxville defeated Fisk
On her own campus, but it was all luck
or rather carelessness on the part of
Fisk players. True Knoxville had a
good team, but it is also true that Fisk
had a better team. KnoXville's strength
is not known in local quarters this
year, and the same may be said of
Fisk, but their showing against Attain
ia Baptist College, which has practical
ly the same team this year as last,
shows ~conclusively that Coach Giles
has developed a team out of practical
ly new material that will make any of
them hustle.
The boys are determined to defeat
Knoxville, who are equally as deter
mined to win from Fisk. So a great
game will be played in the Mountain
City to-day.

INJURED BY A FALL,

Mr.. Adam Reed sustained a serious
injury Thursday about noon. He was
assisting in moving a piano at the cor
ner of Church and High streets. Those
moving the instrument lost control of
it in some way, and Mr.. Reed being
beneath the stairway, the piano fell
on his head, causing what is thought
at the time of going to press con
fusion of the brain. He was immedi-
ately taken to the City Hospital, where
his wounds are being attended. Some
doubt is entertained as to his recov-
cry. Much excitement prevailed in
the vicinity of the accident. The pa
tient was resting we'll Thursday even

A REBUKE

The colored press Of the country
express general satisfaction that Har-
ry c. Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette,
won out in his fight against Theodore
Burton, the administrations candidate
for Mayor. The victory of Tom John
son is welcomed not so much because
Tom is a better mar than Burton, but
because the election will probably
eliminate the leader of opposition to
Foraker in the most populous city in
Ohio. In going outside of the party
to rebuke Roosevelt for his actions in
the Brownsville affair the Negro
voters of Cleveland have done a cred
liable deed. Justice must be done
those discharged black soldiers
seemed to have been their slogan and
they have won out. They have won
more than the local fight for they
served notice that the Negro Of the
North will not prove traitor to a man
who in the face of opposition from the
most powerful man in his party dared
to speak in behalf of and fight for JUS
tice to members Of our race.

One of the speakers at the meeting
Wednesday night, held for the purpose
of organizing a colored commercial
organization, made an excellent sug-
gestion when he urged upon the bust
ness and professional men of the race
to come more closely in contact with
the people. The business man who
expects to succeed and to be of service
to his race, must be to some extent a
mixer.

dead. In what way is the past genera
ton superior to the present? To
show that men who lived out the most
im~pressionable period of their lives
as slaves + superior to free men
with unreasonable advantages, is an
impossible task. The newspapers
encemiums so lavishly bestowed upon
the disappearing ex-slaves of the "old
school," as they term it, are not so
much of respect for them as hateful
malice toward their children of the
new school with opportunities which
are being utilized.

ALLISON GETS HIS LEG BROKEN.

While participating in a practice
football game of the Meharry team,
Mr.. Guy Allison had n of his legs
broken. The accident occurred We'd
nesday afternoon. This removes for the
season n of the strongest players on
the Meharry team. Allison was the
strong right half and had made good
more than once. 1t was he that made
the sensational run last season for 35
yards for a touchdown against Fisk
University. The team will feel his alb
sence very keenly, and may tend to
weaken them in Saturdays game. On
Thursday it was reported that Allison
is resting easy. DR.. f. A. Stewart,
the attending physician, entertains no
serious results. Allison is rooming on
Wharf avenue.
