WOULD BE A WISE MOVE |
There is growing feeling in
Chicago that it were better that
Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist,
should leave the city.
This feeling is not caused by
Johnson's color, nor by his tri-
unph over the white race in pug
ilism, nor yet by the Lucille Cam
eron incident.
But Johnson made one state
ment to the mother of Lucille
Cameron which passed all the
bounds of decency. He said:
81 can get any white woman in
Chicago"
Johnson's own race was the
first to rise in indignation against
this statement. Booker T. Wash
ington has publicly denounced |
Johnson for making it.
very probably Johnson himself |
is now very sorry he made the |
statement. Very probably he now
realizes its folly.
But such a statement, however |
foolish, cannot be overlooked; |
not because of the harm of the
statement itself; not because of
the insult to the white women of |
Chicago; but because of the harm
it may lead to.
There has been much talk in
the last few days of violence
against Johnson. That talk has
been melted and infamed by GER
tain foolish newspapers.

league club, will not be allowed to go
to the American league. President
Murphy, of the Cubs. has put form

dent Lynch's Office. together with an

that Bresnahan will strengthen the
Chicago team behind the bat. Both
Murphy and Dreyfuss must be will
ing to assume l3resnahan's St. Louis
contract. calling for $4,000 a year.
Otherwise Roger will be free agent
at the end Of this week
President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn

Virginia to Meet
Richmond Blues

CHARLOTTESNi LILLE, A, NOV. q.
1t was announced this evening that
the Richmond Blues would meet Viz
ginia Saturday. Manager Lite had
been unable to fill this date all sea-
son due to the fact that all other COL
leges preferred home dates. A faculty
regulation allows Virginia only three
out-of-town games season, and for
this reason Manager Lite had almost
given UP hope OF fiTing the date. the
Richmond Blues are much of the same
class as the Norfolk Blues, who gave
Virginia such stiff game two weeks
ago, when the latter barely won, Z
to 0.
Elicit surprised everybody yestsr-
day afternoon by staging a short
scrimmage after the prolonged signal
drill The purpose was chiefly to il
lnstrate few giarins weaknesses that
cropped up in the Vanderbilt game.
All the regulars with the exception
of Smith reported in uniform, and ex-
cept fer few minor bruises were In
splendid condition. Harris looked
none the worse after his hard game.
When seen after practice. Speed Ell
liot admitted that he was perfectly
satisfied with the teams showing Sat
urday. MY line played to form for
the first time this year. and put up the
grittiest defensive fight have ever
seen. Vanderbilt had a wonderful
team, due principally to her sensation

man single handed defeated U.S. The
game itself was fierceiy contested
Throughout and much closer than the
score would indicate. No; can't pre-
dict thing about the coming George
town game. All I have to say now
is this: This team is the biggest bunch
OF fighters I ever saw.
There will be no immediate
changes in the lineup of the team"

Most of the first string men are in
good condition and with the exception
OF Captain Elder. who has sprained
shoulder and did not participate In
the scrimmage, the team looked as
good as they did in the V. p. l.
game.
There are many who think that the
old school has the edge on the L. {.
NJ. in their coming game scheduled
for November l4th. but to those who
know the personnel of the two teams
and the intense feeling existing be-
tween them know that in this one
game comparative scores means but
little.
The two teams work throughout the
season with but one end in view. to
win this one game. The other games
on their schedules are OF lesser i'm
portance and this game this year
promises to be the one big game OF the
local season.
Both teams have some OF the best
material In the country In their line

will be in prime condition and ready
and anxious to put everything he has
in the game.
