Washington Amateur Star
Outfelder Getting Rigor-
GUS Test.
REGULAR PLACE IF
o HE MAKES GOOD
Career Has Been Watched BY
I'll Kahoe-He Met Chase
~
[ II. Last Spring.

80 Al Handiboe, the popular outfelder Of
the Cornell team, is being seen in right
field today on the Highlanders' team.
Handiboe has not yet been signed up,
but he is getting a thorough trial, and
if he makes good here he will be taken
along with the team. Chase stated that
he would have given Al a chance yes
terday, but he didn't want to start him
with Walter Johnson pitching for
Washington.
- Chase had a talk with Handiboe early
in the spring. the interview being
brought about by Joe Leverton. On his
last visit here, Chase tried to come to
terms, but nothing definite was ac-
complished. Now Handiboe gets a trial.
Handiboe has been the Washington
amateur star for a number Of years.
He has never played real professional
bali, although he has been with several
fast semi-pro teams, Doth in Washing
ton and other cities. This year was
his best, he having led the Capital City
League in hitting, and the post-season
series in hitting. both by good mar
gin.
q" Mike Kahoe, the Nationals scout, has
looked at Handiboe several times, and
was much impressed with his work, but
Chase had prior claim to the fast out
fieider's services. Handiboe started his
baseball career in Washington about
pitcher, but in the last few years he
has held down a garden position. He
is now twenty-three years old, and of
him 1t has frequently been said that
he-is the best amateur who has been
developed in Washington in d number
Of years. Certain ii is that he is the
best of the Washington baseballists of
the present year.

Chicago, Dec. l0-The suppress
sion of hold-ups must be vigor-
ously prosecuted on the South
Side. Respectable colored people
have been recently held up by
white crooks who prowl around in
pairs. The most pitiful thing of
all is that when they discover that
person has no money or valuables
they proceed to beat them unmer-
cifully for spite or prejudice and
to avoid detection. These men,
who are either professional crooks,
buns or hungry gamblers, should
be speedily apprehended by the
colored detectives of the South
Side in the manner in which
white detectives hound the some
times innocent and harmless Ne
gro who happens to be seen in
other parts of the city. 1t is high
time that Chicago should rid it
self of all grades of hold-up men SO
dangerous to innocent society and

tective should brand all such men,

Booker T. washington sends Letters to the COlOred
People of the South. Each Community is Urged
to Provide better SchOOhOuseS.

tribute a small amount in the way
of money or labor or some kind of
farm produce, within few months
good, comfortable school house
can be built and furnished in every
community in which our people
live. Good schoolhouses will mean
in the future good teachers and o
school term lasting eight or nine
months in the year. If those who
read this communication have not
already a good schoolhouse in
their community, l earnestly be-
seech them t. begin at once to
build one.
One other thing: often a large
amount of the money put into q
school building is almost thrown
away because no plan has been
provided for the supervision of the
work of erecting it. No matter
how inexpensive the schoolhouse
may be, care should be taken to
get an architect or some other COM
petent person to draw plans for
the building. Wherever it is poss-
ible, Of course, the public school
authorities should be asked to pro-
vide public school facilities
should be asked to provide de-
cent schoolhouse. Where it is
not possible to obtain suitable
building from the authorities, the
people should get together them
selves and erect a schoc house that
meets the needs of pupils and
teachers.
In many of the cities and small
towns in the South, thousands of
children are suffering for educa-
ton because there are not enough
schoolhouses in the South to prop
erly seat and provide for the Ne
gro children. Wherever this is
true, our leaders should come to-
gether and formulate their needs
and bring them before the public
school authorities. They should
continue to urge their needs until
schoolhouses are provided for our
people. l have noted that in some
of the cities nearly one-half of the
colored children are kept out of
school or are in school only half a
day because of lack of room. Our
race, like other races, can only Sc
cure proper educational facilities
in the cities by constantly urging
their needs on the proper authori-
ties. This should be done in ev-
cry community and city where the
public school authorities have un-
dertaken the task of providing
school buildings.
am glad to add that in many of
