LECTURE Al ST. PAUL.

Mr.. Charles Stewart, the great
newspaper correspondent, delivered
most instructive Lectures to women in
the auditorium of St. Paul A. M. E.
Church Monday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. Mrs. w. Sampson Brooks,
after song and prayer, intro
duced the speaker. Mr.. Stewart
was at his best and about 200 women
listened to a plain, common-sense dis
cussion of what might be fittingIy
termed "a plea for Our Race" He
made an especial plea to the mothers
present to throw around the young
boys and girls more protection by
teaching them the law of purity. A
fitting climax to the lecture was re-
cital protraying the life here and
hereafter of fallen man and woman.
At the close of the lecture a liberal
collection was lifted by Mrs. Evans
Tyre and Mrs Grant.

JOHNSON AND JEFFRIEs.

The sport writer's all over the coun-
try have been wanting some kind of
statement from Jim Jeffries about
fighting Jack Johnson. 1t seems as
though they have at last run him in
a corner and he has come out with
a statementthat, eff | can get in pro-
per condition I will fight Johnson"
Now, we hope Mr.. Jeffries can get
in condition and that he will be in his
best form when he meets the Negro.
And then let them go in and fight a
finish fight. That will settle once for
all who is the better man All kinds
of remarks have been made about
what big Jim could do TO the smoke.
One fellow said, Zone punch from Jeff
and groddy Mister Johnson" Well,
the fight fans are not so sure about
that, and they are willing to pay a
fancy sum to see Mr.. Jeffries deliver
that one punch. Bill Curtis seems to
think Jeffries will have the time of
his life in delivering the punch that
will send Mr.. Johnson down and out.
All the oldtimers remember what was
predicted when the famous John L.
and the nimble Corbett were to meet
in their acknowledgements battle
Everyone said that when Sullivan hit
him it would be all over, but the trou-
bic came from the fact that Sullivan
could not hit Corbett. And when he
was able to find him he had been SO
worried down until his. blows lacked
the putting to sleep effect.
1t has been shown that Jeffries is
fighter on the Sullivan order with
just a little more science. While
pink and gren. In the center of the
Johnson has Corbett skinned to deatl
in science and along with that he has
a punch in either hand that would
make old Bob Fitzsimmons blush
We should now let these two fighters

get together. Johnson made state
ment in Honolulu March End; he said
he would fight any heavyweight in the
world. What seems to be the hold
back? 1t is well known that all this
talk about the fight has placed Mr..
Jeffries in a position to pick up a
goodly amount of cash from the the
alter people. Well good for Mr. JEFF
fries; he shows his business ability in
that move. Let him pull in all he can
and then when he has finished maybe
he will be in condition to take on Mr..
Black Man. For as he says he will
be popular until some one hits him a
wallop on the jaw, and he takes the
count Then, goodby Jeffries Let us
hope that in short while we will
know who is in reality the better
fighter.

THE INTERCOLLEGIATE BASE.
BALL LEAGUE OF NASHVILLE.

Purpose-Its purpose, as specified in
the constitution shall be the regula-
ton and supervision of baseball in
the city of Nashville in order that
the baseball activities in the colleges,
universities and high school in the
city of Nashville may be maintained
on an ethical plan in keeping with
the dignity and high purpose of edu-
cation" The athletic coaches and
the business managers of Roger Will
liams, Walden and Fisk Universities
and Pearl High School met and or
ganized the league at the suggestion
of Mr.. Burrell, the Walden Business
Manager The atheletic associations
of the several schools having dele
gated the authority, this group of men
became the Board of Control and ar
ranged the following schedules
Mar 20-Pearl and Fisk; Roger
Williams and Walden

Pearl and Walden.
Apr. 3-Walden and Fisk; Pearl
and Roger Williams.

be awarded as trophy. The league
elected the following officers: Prof
Faulkner, Walden, President; Prof,
Jackson, of Roger Williams, Vice
President; Prof Washington, of Pearl
High, Treasurer; Prof. Giles, of Fisk,

effort on the part of the various
schools, their managers and coaches,
the dead corpse of amateur baseball
enthusiasm will stand up on his feet
like a man and demand his rightful
place in the athletic activities of our
scholastic athletes. There will be
something doing" when the rein
stated giant unfurls the first streamer
of green and red over the winning
team.
