WITH SINGING AND DANCING

at the Texas Grand Thursday night to
see Busby's negro minstrel show
Many were turned away. as all Of the
seats were sold before the opening
overture was played
The singing, dancing and orchestra
music was typically negro and pleased
the big crowd immensely, especially the
dancing Of the little negro who was
second from the end on the right side
Of the circle The jokes. as rule, were
crude and inclined TO be vulgar rather
than funny.
The negro minstrels were at their
best when they were singing plantation
songs. doing levee dances and acting
natural A burlesque boxing match in
the second part kept the crowd in a
roar until the long negro and the short
negro stopped from sheer exhaustion.
The Busby Ministries have been COM
ing here many years and a number OF
the performers have been here since the
show first started playing in FL PasO

er and then brought in the charge
made in an affidavit by Mordecai
Brown that when President Murphy Of
the Chicago Nationals sold him to
Louisville, 1t was with the agreement
that Brown never would be allowed
again to join the majors. Here Attor-
ney George w. Miller for the defend
ant, called Addington's attention to
the fact that Brown later played with
the Cincinnati club, in a major league,
but Arlington said the agreement be-
tween Chicago and Louisville was
what he wished to show was possible.
Changes in the players contract
which were made last year at the be-
hest of the Players Fraternity, were
declared by Addington not to have
modified it materially. He called it re-
markable that such close associates as
Chairman Herman and President
Johnson should disagree in the in
depreciation Of the contract as he
charged they did. johnson, he said. in
his affidavit, declared that the option
extended contract for one year only.
