In a booklet entitled The Missing
Link and the Howard Theater,' writ
ten under the auspices of the Secret
Boycotting and Equitable Club, Mr..
J. Arthur Davis, former theater man
ager, writes the most forceful and
analytical argument yet given on race
discrimination. He deals with long
developed economic, climatic and III
hercnt qualities OF the two races, max
ing discrimination possible.
Among other things, he cites dan
gers of white commercial invasion OF
segregated Negro communities. He
maintains that the submissive and ser
vile spirit to patronize discriminating
enterprises facilitates the Negro Op-
preston, and that it has largely been
responsible for his elimination from
and the prevention to his entering
many labor markets requiring man
illness and unionism. The tendency of
the times, he claims, IS gradually to
eliminate him, for the same reason,
from all race usefulness in America.

HOW ZONE ROUND HOGAN
BECAME A FIGHTER,
Friseo's Sensational Lightweight Was
Once Plumbers Helper.

A street fight between two plumbers
assistants Is what started zone
Round Hogan, the sensational Frisco
pugilist, on the road to fame. Hogan
was a plumbers apprentice and had
served three years of his time when
he took up the fighting game. He says
he never would win a prize today at
wiping a lead pipe joint. but that
he's bear at threading two inch pipe.
Hogan, whose first name is Jack, liz
confident he will eventually win the
lightweight championship. He points
to his bout with Knockout Brcsn In
New York recently as to what he can
do. Hogan has fought forty-one bat

RACING SEASON
NEAR AT HAND
TuTtmen Are Looking Forth to
Active Campaign In East.
Big TRACKS TO OPEN AGAIN.

Metropolitan Courses Preparing For
Summer Meetins--Jockey Clubs Of
ferins Liberal Purses For Stakes.
PinnIco to Open Season.
With the advent Of spring the turf
men are looking forward 10 the open
ing Of the eastern thoroughbred horse
racing season, which this years begins
at jamestown, Va, in April.
There will be racing at Sheepshead
Bay, Ora vesend. Belmont park and at
Saratoga, \. Y, TO say nothing of the
smaller metropolitan tracks on the
New York circuit. While many things
may happen between now and the
opening Of the racing season, at pres
ent the prospect for summers racing
in the east has not looked brighter In
several years.
Several Of the big stake races are to
be run on the metropolitan tracks this
year, and Saratoga is looking forward
to one of the best seasons in her his
tory. 1t is the racing folk that keep
the town going both In summer and
Saratoga charge such high prices for
everything in summer that they have
enough cash left over when the season
closes TO carry them over until the bell
again rings in the paddock.
That the outlook for the season OF
1911 on the New York tracks is bright
is shown by the fact that the West
Oh -.
Saratoga association are already shap-
ing up things for a lively campaign
later on. At Belmont park stake races
for this year include such classics as
the Juvenile. with $500 added the
Ladies', for FLIES. three ear-olds, with
added. and several other stake events.
Then at Saratoga the association viii
run the Saratoga special, the various
hotel stakes which in years past were
for $4,000 each; the Hopeful stakes
for two-year-olds. and many other
classic events which have made the
great American watering place famous
throughout the world.
In Maryland the outlook is brilliant
for a season of high class sport. No
attacks have been made upon the turf
game in this state.
While the first meeting of the year
will begin in jamestown, Va. the sea-
son of 1911 in the east will In reality
begin at Pimlico in April Such prom
inent stables as those of Herman
Duryea II. r. Wilson, James X. Keene.
Sam Hildreth and possibly Harry
Payne Whitney and A. Belmont are
expected TO race at the meeting.
With the stables OF such world re-
nowned American turfmen racing once
more the eastern season of 1911 will
have most brilliant beginning.

him it was certainly not Intentional.

think | can lick Burns any time he
starts"
How did you start in as a fighter p
was asked
sit was on account Of winning a
street fight over some plumbers as
sistants. l never took boxing les
son in my life"
Hogan then told OF how he worked
as plumbers assistant, and as he
was leader of gang he naturally had
to fight all the time.
A fight club In Frisco had engaged
q young fellow named Steele for a
preliminary bout. and as he had no
opponent the manager, who had seen
Hogan in street fight, offered him
$40 to go on. Hogan grabbed at the
Job, and before he had gone four
rounds he knocked out so many of
Steele's teeth that the fight had to be
stopped.
"And the worst of It." said Hogan.
SIS that ! didn't get the SIS. The
manager told me that So was enough
for me. and couldn't argue him out
of the other ten. Finally he told me
that | was pretty lucky to get a
chance to fight at all, and he promised
me that he would give me another fight
the next week. l fell for that line of
talk, but to this day / am still trying
to get that ten"
Hogan is just twenty-five years old
and is an orphan. Apparently he has
made the best of his opportunities at
school, as he talks intelligently and
uses good English. He Is clean liv-
ing young fellow and has not been in
the fight game long enough to fan
prey to its many temptations.
