United Press Leased Wire Service,
5 SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-Lack
OF experience and not Gunboat Smith
is what lost Jess Willard the decision
In his 20-round battle with the sailor,
according to the belief today of per
sons who witnessed the affair. With
a little more instruction in ring tao.
tics, the Kansas giant would have
been able to put Smith away, they de-
clare. AS 1t was. Referee Selig award
ed the decision to the gunboat after
twenty scrappy rounds. Fans were
generally dissatisfied with the YER
dict, believing draw would have
been fairer.
Although Willard had a fifty pound
advantage in weight and big lead
in height and reach over Smith, his
inexperience more than overcame
this. Smith had little difficulty in
landing, hut he could not make an
impression on the big fellow. Three
times--in the fourth, fifth and four
teenth rounds Willard suddenly came
to life with a terrific attack on his
opponent. In each round he appeared
to have Smith very near the edge OF
oblivion where only little skill II
! handling his hands would have push
ed him off But Willard lacked JUS
I that skill and experience and failed tx
! follow up his advantage Each time
/ he gave Smith just enough time ),
+ recuperate and come back strong.
Neither man showed championship

A Nice Little Start.

1t is customary for the visiting
team in the entertaining village, TO
bat first in the initial inning. This
Cedar Rapids proceeded to do with
skirts held high from somewhat
sodden field. In that number one.
Miss Smith lead off with the base bali

Superintendent Manush. Miss Lewis
hammered one out to where Patrick
Hilly awaited for something in left

Of the eyes Of eminent doctors Of At
lantic City and Philadelphia, and their
association inspired him to the extent
that after his graduation from Way
land in the class Of 1891 he entered
Howard University Medical school,
from which he graduated In 1895.
An inspiring feature Of the career Of
DR.. Laycock is that as soon as he
graduated from the Medical school
he was offered a position on the staff
of the same institution from which he
had received his inspiration, the Chill
dren's Seashore House, Atlantic City,
N. ]. Here he distinguished himself,
but decided to return south and work
among his own people. He began his
practice in this city Nov. IA, 1896, and
today he is regarded by the medical
profession as one Of the most skillful
physicians in this section Of the coun-
try. His exceptional work proves his
ability.
- He has established a precedent among
the physicians Of his race in this Sec
ton and met peculiar need of the
people here by erecting thoroughly
modern and convenient structure for
the practice Of his profession. His
residence is combined with his Office.
He has helped number Of young
men and women in their efforts to bet
ter their condition, and there Is not
man in Norfolk who will do more than

youth. The doctor Is not alone In this

Good and still Hangs On.
Anthony Brown, eighty-hve years
old and in point Of service the Oldest
employee Of the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, recently celebrated the thirty
fifth anniversary of his connection with
that newspaper.
According to the st-Dispatch, Mr..
Brown, who is one Of the most promi-
nent colored Masons in the United
States, went to work as porter for
the st. Louis Evening Post In 1873, q
year before Joseph Pulitzer consolidat-
Cd 1t with the Dispatch.
When asked how he was celebrating
his anniversary the venerable Uncle
Anthony replied, "By working and feel
Ing pretty good"
He recalled that no one who was In
any way connected with the Post-Dis-
patch when he began his service is now
with the paper.
"Even the boys that sold the papers
then are gone," said Mr.. Brown, with
an air Of just pride, "but this old man
ID hanging on"

Of the race, DR.. @. 8. Brown, president
of the Lott Carey foreign mission con-
vention.
He launched out here with $40. do
mated by the late DR.. Tupper. founder
Of Shaw university. Today this insti-
tuition is regarded by both races In
this section M a prime factor In the
present friendly relations which exist
between the white and colored people
Of this section.
This institution held its quarto cen
tennial celebration In 1912, and hun.
dreds Of successful farmers were pres
ent and gave their approval of the in
stitution's influence and what 1t has
caused them to accomplish. Interest
ing statistics were given, showing the
remarkable progress Of the farmer,
caused by the dissemination Of ideas
that are now seen In q concrete man
ner.
DR.. Brown keeps in touch with the
farmers in this section Of North Caro-
lima. The students and graduates Of
the institute are doing effective work
in many parts Of the country and es-
pecially 80 in this state and in Vir-
ginia.
The present facilities Of the institute
are taxed by the large number Of boys
and girls from rural districts. There
are also many students from Virginia
and other states. Because Of this sane
and progressive institution being a VI
tai factor in the activities Of hundreds
of our people Dr. Brown is now the
cynosure Of the better element Of both
races in every section. Special efforts
are being put forth to make 1t possible
for DR.. Brown to carry into effect his
plans for the further advancement Of
the masses In the rural districts.
Having started with only $40, the
present movement Is remarkable, and
many Of the leading white people In
North Carolina acclaim that this is a
real evidence Of the Negroes ability to
manage large affairs judiciously, COM
prehensively and successfully.
1t is stated authoritatvely that the
institution has made this a model COM
munity. Drunkenness and other evils
that affect community life IL not in evi.
dence here. The young people take
pride IN making rural life really at
tractive and helpful. II can be seen
that DR.. Brown Is doing a great work
Of uplift.

ties to get a clear conception Of the
scope Of the effective leadership Of DIR.

Norfolk, va.-This city with its het-
erogeneous mass of humanity, because
of its peculiar commercial advantages
affords number Of interesting char
acters that are rendering untold good
for the health, happiness and the tangi-
BILE progress Of the Afro-American folk
in this section. There is particularly
one individual whose nerve treasure
has afforded him the opportunity to en-
dure hardships in preparing himself
for life Of service for the good Of hu-
manity.
DR.. James 2. Laycock came to Nor
folk when there were only two Afro
American physicians here. With a
deep passion to make his profession
help achieve for his people the things
that would make them vital factors In
all the affairs that make for happy,
healthy and progressive community,
he has been eminently successful.
Seemingly from utter seclusion DR..
Laycock has loomed up largely as q
"native ideal" for the ambitious youth
Of the race.
He was born in Nansemond county,
Va, where he attended the district
school until 1883, when he went to
Washington to attend Wayland semi
nary, an Institution that has hundreds
Of successful graduates in every Sec
tion Of the country. In his quiet and
unassuming manner he studied zeal
ously and won the admiration Of the
faculty and student body. He spent
his vacations at Atlantic City, N. j.,
working at the Children's Seashore
House, an institution for the care Of
invalid children.
Being so attentive to the slightest
detail of his work and making himself
quite IN indispensable factor In his de-
partment, he soon became the cynosure
