Gets Draw With La Grave and
Indicates Inability to
Come Back"
HAS EDGE AT THE START
Unable to Summon Strength to Fol-
low Up Advantage When Ii
Was His.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-Battling
/ Nelson and Antoine La Grave of this
/ city fought a 15-round draw last
night before the Broadway A. c.
| While Nelson displayed all of his
! old time boring-in tactics and kept
after La Grave from the start. he
clearly demonstrated he is to be
i classed with the fighters who can
not come back" Several times he
had the local boy worried, but the
I Dane could not gather the force to
send home knockout punch.
La Grave was nervous at first. For
three or four rounds it looked as
though the old champion was going
to have an easy time of il. Driving
in straight lefts, varied now and then
with the old right cross, which help
ed him to the title. Nelson drove his
man around the ring.
Clever, But wild.
After three or four rounds of this
La Grave steadied down and fought
back. He showed little science, but
was rugged and game and his youth
STAYED off defeat which threatened
him as far along as the 18th round.
Nelson showed no little cleverness
in blocking, but this was offset by his
wildness. He missed time and again
with his right cross to the jaw.
In the last round La Grave stood
up without flinching to a give-and-
take slugging bout that brought me
crowd to it's feet. The men we're
hammering away without evidence
of distress when the gong sounded.

the same as was frankie White. the
Chicago lightweight, who couldn't
stand up against the heavy pummel-
ing of Kid Farmer of Peoria. On ac-
count of the poor house present at the
Phoenix club show, the announcement
was made by the promoters that the
sport would be abandoned.
After sparring with White for three
rounds in the windup, Farmer COM
menced to swing and jab with both
hands in rough battle. White fought
back gamely, but could not stand up
under the rapid-fire tactics of the Pc
oria sluggeT and took the count from
right-hand waIlop to the jaw in the
fifth round
From that point Farmer landed at
will with left and right in the sixth
round, knocking White to the mat six
times. The referee finally counted
him out. Young Joe Grim. of Balti- !

larger, that is to grow naturally and
logically 1t is many times better to
start in the humblest way, the sim
plest way, and gradually gather expe-
rience as one grows in business than
il is to start with a big flourish of
trumpets a complicated business en-
terprise that can only live few days
for want of capital or want of expe-
rience.
There are too many organizations
springing up here and there that have
for their object the deception of the
public, the cheating of the public, and
especially the common, ignorant
masses, out of their hard-earned mon
ey. This deception is usually prac-
ticed by individuals or by organiza-
tions parading themselves before the
public as representing business enter
prises that are going to make poor
people rich people within a day or
year, that are, in short, going to make
something out of nothing.
1t is a practice that is too fast grow
ing, that of selling worthless shares
of stock and other securities that have
nothing back of them except promises
and talk 1t is a practice that should
be condemned by all honest people.
Every time one of these false and de-
ceiving organizations get a dollar
from the masses which is either squan-
dered, stolen, or never returned to the
investor, it is made harder for legi-
innate business enterprises to sue
ceed The practice of promising to
pay large dividends on money invest
ed in these fake enterprises should
cease if it does not our people VIII
be retarded many years in their busi-
ness and industrial progress. We must
make it understood from this time
forth that the members of the Busi-
ness League will stand for nothing but
that which has an honest and straight
forward purpose back of it.

The world is not in search of the
lazy man. No one cares to employ
the lawyer who has no clients or the
physician who has no patients.
With all of these fundamental ele.
ments favorable toward our Industrial
and business success, as race in the
United States, let us not, l repeat,
make the mistake of dwelling over
much upon the things that we have
not, but rather glory in the opportu-
mites that we possess, for the max
ing of the most of these opportunities
will bring us more openings and more
opportunities The more we advertise
to the world that determinations are
made against us, the more will dis
examinations multiply.

ture hope of our race, go out from

the Elks club at that place few days

Cox and Mr.. C. H. Browning, was

the building, the furnishing of which
surpasses anything in the West, in

would marvel at its grandeur and
splendor. Numerous elk heads-the
emblematic ensign of the Order OF
Elks-besides many other head mount
ings, adorn the beautiful walls. The
floors are covered with the finest rugs

whose efficiency has brought forth
laudable comment.
Only colored help is employed in the
club for which the credit is due to Mr..
j. Collins West, whose exchequer is
responsible for the erection and furn-
ishing of this magnificent palace. Not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Collins
is less than 25 years old he is mil
lionaire and one of the leading and
astute business men of Billings and his
influence for the promotion of the city
and state is sought by many and en-
dorsed by everybody.
That he is a friend of the Negro goes
without saying as he has at all times
proven this by his generous dealings IN

one can travel through this country
as | am constantly doing, without be-
ing proud of the fact that the Negro
is using this chance to get hold of the
soil.
Another fundamental condition for
business and commercial success on
the part of any race is the opportunity
for the masses of the race to find
work Speaking now of the ten mil
lions of colored people and speaking
of the Southern states where the
great bulk of the race lives, l would
remind you that we have the adyan-
tage of having plenty of labor for the
masses. For the most part, labor
seeks the man instead of the man hav-
ing to seek labor AS compared with
any ten millions of people in the old
world. the price received for our labor
is three and four times higher than
that received in many of the old coup-
tries.
Let us never forget that the sue
cess of the man in business is depend
ent upon the success, the happiness
and prosperity of the laboring classes.
Let us advertise, then, the TACT that
the Negro is in demand as laborer
rather than place too much stress
upon the exceptional cases where the
Negro cannot get work, for here again
my text applies, For to him that hath
shall be given" for no one wants to
employ the man who cannot get Work.
