THE OLD TIME RELIGION.
Writer Does Not Believe In the New
Kind EiIled With WorIdiness.

Editor E. D. Cannady Of the Port

cussion is being INDUCED in both pro
and con nowadays OH the religious
question. The kind that we believe in
is the old fashioned religion such as
our mothers and fathers taught and
lived, and it Is mighty little respect
or confidence that we have In the new
brand Of religion which permits one
to gamble, swear, drink whisky, dance
and tell lies and lead any kind of an
old immoral life and still be permitted
to disgrace the "amen corner" of the

Why we speak Of it is because Port

Quartet of Young
Athletic Stars
Afro.AmerlCan Lads Lead on Relay and
Track Teams IN Public School Athletic
League of New YOrk-CIifton Vester
and Brother Two Fleetest Short
Distance Runners Ever In Contest.

In the Vester brothers, Lawrence
Jackson and Percy Lee, Afro-Amer-
leans are well represented in the Pub
lie School Athletic League of New
York. Their record as sprinters of
the first magnitude has been the
wonder and admiration of athletic ex-
perts around New York, many Of
whom now say that these young ath-
letes have clearly demonstrated their
capacity for the severest physical tests
and for a long time they will neither
be equaled nor excelled by any Of
their class.
Clifton Vester, the midget sprinter
of public school No. "a, has demon
strated in the last two years that few
athletes in the Public School Athletic
league have anything on him either
as sprinter or as q member Of
relay team. The youngster and his
older brother are two Of the fastest
short distance runners that ever COM
peted in elementary school athletics
and are idols among their fellows Of
the upper section of the city. With
Lawrence Jackson and Percy Lee,
both Of whom are members Of public
school No. "a track team, they are
known in upper Harlem as the invin-
chile quartet Of colored sprinters.
Clifton Vester has made an enviable
record since he started to compete in
the Public School Athletic league, his
performances in the midget and Junior
classes being Of high order. He, like
many colored athletes Of note who have
been members Of public school teams,
began his career in public school No.
49, Though he is now pupil at pub
lie school No. "a, Vester earned most
of his laurels at the former school.
In 1908 Vester made his first ap-
pearance in athletic activities when he
responded to a call of Coach Carr and
began training for a field day which
the school soon was to have. Coach
Carr, who is a good judge of school
boy athletes, noticed that he carried
himself well and gave him special
training. The results Of his efforts
soon told, for fortnight later Clifton
took all the cracks of the school into
camp and won the midget sprint in
the closed games by handy margin.
Though he was entered in several
open meets prior to the 1908 indoor
championships, Vester failed to be
placed in any Of them. Coach Carr
was not dismayed by the adverse show
ing of his charge and placed him on
the ninety-five pound relay team. 1t
was as member Of the relay that
Vester showed his true form. Start
ing as first man, he often gave his
mates q lead which enabled them to
romp home easy victors. In the in
door games of the Public School Ath.
letic league in December, 1908, Clifton
brought championship to his school
by sprinting away from his rivals in
the first relay and giving his mates
a good start, thus enabling the school
to win the title in the ninety-fve pound
class.
