HAWAIIS LOSE CLOSE
GAME TO ]. A. c. nine
Mike Hardy Pitched Fine Game for HaWas-P. A. C.s Put
II All Over the Stars-Barney Still! on the Bench.

Alas! Alas! The ]. A. C.. managed
TO beat the Hawaiis in one OF the clos
est games played by oahu League
| teams. the score being 10. The teams
went in for all they were worth and
fought for every point.
Both Mike Hardy, who was allowed
to pitch for five innings only, on ac-
count of his work. and George Clark
pitched splendid games. Before Mike
was through playing he had retired
nine Nipponese to the bench by the
strike out route. and II was n pity
that he had to leave so soon. as It was
he who had the American Japanese
players guessing right through the Ave
innings he had twiried. His smokeiess
shots puzzled the batters very much.
on the other hand, George Clark. the
ex Hawaii player, who has now shifted
over to the j. A. &. team. pitched a
star game for his nine.
The crowd was good one, and IL
the teams put up such games as they
did yesterday. the fans will no doubt
turn out In larger numbers.
one thing that can be said against
the game yesterday is that there was
altogether too much talk between play
ers and Umpire Joy.
The J. A. Cs. won their game from
the popular Hawaii nine In the eighth
inning. when Akana, who left the ranks
of the bachelors Saturday night, made
the lone and winning run after close
call.
| The first contest turned out to be
most exciting. as time and time again
and then finally have their chances
spolied.
| In the second inning the Hawaiis
pulled themselves out OF bad hole.
when the J. A. Cs. had bases fun and
no outs, Clark. Frieseii and even Chill
lingworth failing to bring any Of the
waiting men home.

Youths, what are you living this
life for? Have you planned anything
for your future, or are you travelling
the ordinary rut OF life. looking for
nothing but existence alone, without
any of its worthy or attainable ambi-
tons? You should consider these
questions and awake from that sleepy
ness and reach out for higher ideals.
The avenues of education are open
to you. Much OF the employment Is
given you, and vast opportunities
await you who make the best of 1t.
Stay out OF the north and remain in
the southland. where myriads OF
chances await you who will prepare
yourselves The southern negro is
branching out into every available
business. He is becoming wealthy
and is preparing the way for our
young men, If they will prepare them
selves for the positions.
Morality and Christianity must be
practiced extensively among the
young men. They must organize Bible
classes, Libraries, debating societies,
gymnasiums, etc, which tend to de-
velop the individual morally, mentally
and physically and lead him to follow
a quiet. beneficial and intelligent life.
There must be some training along
these lines to the extent that 1t may
become hereditary in generations to
come. When we follow these princi-
pies, we are following good factors
of benefit to the race in every respect.
We will diminish the number of our
boys In the chain gang, put ban
on excessive immortality and rem
ovate into intelligent action, uncultur-
ed minds.
There are many young men VINO, py
misfortune, are thrown into poor cir
cumstances, and have not the chance
to acquire an education. This is a pit
able case and should be remedied, and
the only remedy to his condition is
compact association which brings
about sympathy and aid for him and
awaken the spirit and manhood In
him to acquire some knowledge of a
| course of learning.
Take heed, help your fellow man,
and build stronger men intellectually,
physically and morally.-Palestine

Out at Boley, the all-negro Oklaho-
ma town, an old-time barbecue was
given a few weeks ago in order to
promote good feeling and good will
generally. Indians from the surround
ing country were invited, and came
in large numbers. After dinner had
been served the speaking began on
the part of Indian and negro orators.
One Indian seemed to voice the
sentiment of his people towards ne
groes in a speech which follows:
Indian always friend to black man.
Red man and black man get well to-
gether. Red man he owns much land.
Colored man he make big field make
much cotton, much corn. Red man
gets his share without law suit, no
trouble with black man. He good to
work to pay lease. Red man has
plenty to land, he want colored man
to work his land Indian man he wants
to sell land. White man he wants to
buy Indians land Make big bargain.
take land way from Red man. Indian
wants colored man to work his land
and make big field for squaw and pap
poose.
Rich man he get behind Red man
and the Red man he make way for
him; Red man he lead black man he
follow, and Red man take him
through all right"

""The Chronicle is glad to welcome
Booker T. Washington to Houston,
and feels that he will be extended a
courteous and befitting greeting by
men of all races.
"He has, by his own unaided eff
forts, risen from a position of poverty
and humility to one of commanding In
fluence. He has wrought great work
for the people of his race, and has, by
both precept and example. sought to
lead them into the paths of nobler
and more useful living.
"He has recognized that to train
the young negro properly he must
train not only his head and his mem
ory. but his hands and his heart.
There are many worthy people of the
negro race in Houston, and they will
give the great representative of their
race a welcome befitting his worth.
Mayor Rice, by participating in the
ceremonies of the evening in his ca
pacity of chief executive of the city,
does a graceful and commendable act
1t will show to those who seem so
greatly to misunderstood the feeling
of the southern people towards the
negro that under all proper circum-
stances and to the limits which social
propriety permits the southern man is
always ready to help the negro and
to encourage him in his efforts to rise
in the world. d."-Editorial Houston

At the Grand opera house In this
city. the people OF Texarkana will
have the opportunity OF listening to
one of the leading negro educators OF
the world.
Booker t. Washington, president
and founder OF the Tuskegee Indus
trial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala, is be-
yond any kind OF cavil or doubt, to-
day, the foremost man of his race. not
only in the United States, but In the
world.
He is known throughout the United
States and is we'll liked by the lead
ing men of all creeds and political par
ties because of his real worth among
the people II his race along lines
which, If followed, certainly stand for
the moral and Industrial uplift OF the
American negro. He believes up eau-
cation for the negro in the United
States, but qualities this belief with
the suggestion that the education
must be practical and in such way
that 1t will prepare the negro for
life of usefulness in the community in
which he lives. There are certain
who differ with the distinguished col
ored man, in this respect. but their
number, never large, is constantly de-
creasing.
Booker Washington would eliminate
every particle of idleness among the
members of his race, by intoxicating
energy, morality and Industrious hab-
its through the medium or 1ndustrlai
schools and colleges. Albeit he is not
encouraging the colored people to en-
ter politics. He has seen enough OF
this to know that there is very little
in it for the white man and nothing
for the negro. To be industrious
honest and attentive to business,
whatever that business is, seems TO
be the great vital text upon which
the career of Washington centers
and it is a most worthy one. 1t TOOK
Washington a long time to prove to
the people--the white people OF the
south-that he is sincere, but he sue
ceeded in doing so and now he has
the satisfaction of knowing that
throughout the nation, Institutes like
his beloved Tuskegee, are being es
tablished and that great and lasting
results for good are flowing there
from.
1t is sincerely hoped that his visit
to Texarkana will be productive ol
good things. Not that the white ano
colored people are not on good terms
for 1t can be stated here that the races
are on excellent terms, there is ne
point of conflict and the colored peo
pie as a rule are Industrious and law
abiding; but simply because his dis
cusssion of the principal features Of
the race problem, from an industrla
viewpoint, will be beneficial to the en-
tire tizenship.-Editorial: Texar
kama (Tex.) Courier.
