bases to beat the band. He did not get

on the nose three times, and put in
a sacrifice hit that helped to score a

Rochester by mistake.
Johnny Bates and his war cudgel

TO HANDICAP GUESTS
Championship Billiard Promoters Have
New Scheme On Foot.

CHICAGO, August Persons who
have been in charge OF championship
billiard tournaments to-day announced
that plan would be put In operation
hereafter to handicap tho expert
players.
Tho plan is to put Willie Hoppe on
scratch with rating Of 100, and to
rate other players according to their
skill. BY this system, it is said. such
inEstar, George Sutton, Kohl Yamada,
Marcus Cation, Albert Cutler. Al Tay-
lor Walker Cochran and Joseph Mayer
and the contests will be interesting
The handicaps OF players other than
Hoppe will be decided by committee
Of experts. Handicap billiard matches
have not been viewed with favor by
players on this side of the Atlantic al
though for many years they have been
popular with leading British players.
The system Will DO tried next autumn.

Cooper WA. Young Driver.

CHICAGO, August Joe Cooper
was one of tho younger generation Of
automobile drivers, having taken his
first mount about four years ago. He
bears no relationship to Earl Cooper.
He drove r. car in tho Sweepstakes at
indianapolis this season. and although
he qualified we'll above the limit for the
Hoosier trophy, there was some ques-
ton raised about his being permitted to
start because OF ineNperience. Cooper
appealed to the contest board OF the
American Automobile Association and
was granted permission to start. How
we'll these fears were founded was
shown by the fact that he was forced
out OF the race. his car crashing into
the wall.
Cooper also drove car In the Chi
cago Speedway dedicatory race June %
last, finishing tenth. at an average
speed of 90 i1-100 miles an hour.

which was destroyed and the teacher
forced to fee to Pennsylvania for
safety, but returned after a year and
started his school on a larger scale
IT. was in this school, although private,
that young Page got his first taste Of
education.
In the fall of 1868 he entered How,
ard university. where he soon began
to realize the Importance Of his IN
dertaking. He had learned that in
order to become educated he would
have to study diligently. He did not
have wealthy parents to meet all his
bills when due. so he had to do some
hard work to earn enough money to
pay his school bills.
He had heard Of Yale and Harvard
and Of Brown university. at Provi-
dence, r. l.. and decided to continue his
education at Brown. which he entered
In the fall Of 1873. He had decided be-
fore going to Providence that he was
going to remain there until he had fin
ished his work. He carried out his res
olution to the letter. graduating in 1877
Now, with his diploma-and not only
the diploma, but well trained
mind-he decided to enter the busy
world, with a view Of serving human
ity. Graduating from college In
Rhode Island he felt that his duty was
to 60 where he was most needed, SO he
accepted position in the Natchez SEM
mary, Natchez, Miss, in the fall Of
1877. As teacher he made good rec
ord. and It is not surprising that he
was elected vice president Of Lincoln
institute, Jefferson City. Mo-. the fol
lowing fall.
1t was in this position that his abil
ity as leader. as school president. as
a leader Of men. manifested itself. and
It was at the close Of the second year
as vice president that he was elected
president Of Lincoln institute. 1t was
then that Lincoln took on new life. 1t
was then that the growth of the insti-
tuition started. It was then that It be-
came known outside of Missouri. In
this position of president he served un.
til 1898. when he resigned to accept the
presidency Of the Colored Agricultural
snd Normal university. called Langston
university.
The school was then young and need
ed such a man as President Page to
build 1t up. and this he has done. OF
course the school had been voted into
life by the legislature Of Oklahoma,
and in the fall of 1893 It was opened
by the new president with his faculty
and forty students. It now has an en-
rollment Of 62S with good buildings and
q well trained faculty. It has required
the work Of master mind to build the
school up to where It Is.
Brown university conferred on him
the degree Of master Of arts because Of
the literary work he had done. and sew
eral years ago the faculty and trustees
Of Howard university recognized his
worth and ability and learning by con-
ferring on him the degree Of IL. D..
and the same honor was conferred upon
him by Wilberforce university. He IL
active In the State Teachers associa
ton. as well as the National Associa-
lion Of Teachers of Colored Youth. His
wife, Mrs. Inman q. Page, takes great
interest In his work and has been Of
much assistance to him. She IN grad

MAN OF NEGRO ORIGIN:
He Cites Authorities to Disprove
"Pithecanthropos Erectus"
Theory.

To the Editor of the Pioneer Press:
One of your recent contributors to
the Mail Bag makes "pithecanthropos
erectus" the Adam of the human fam
lily. But according to such we'll
known authorities as Prof. Augustus
H. Kean of the London university,
in his Technology" and MAN, Past
and Present." Prof. Giuseppe Sergi,
professor of anthropology at the Uni
versity of Rome, Italy, in his work
on "The Mediterranean Races" and
our own Prof William z Ripley, in
his work on Races of Europe;" DR..
Brinton, in his "Races and Peoples"
as we'll as other scholars versed in
this department of knowledge, re-
pudiate the hypothesis postulated by
the other scientists, and advocate the
following announcements as most
worthy of the consideration of the
scholars learned in the science of
anthropology:
First-The present races of Europe
are mere offshoots of primitive race
now extinct. This extinct race was
an offshoot of an African or Negro
race, who migrated from Africa into
Europe during the glacial and pre-
glacial period: Homo sapiens,"
"homo heidelbergensis," "neandertha-
lensis," "1oanthropos" and all other
early European troglodytes had an
African, therefore Negro origin.
Chancellor David Starr Jordan of
Leland Stanford university virtually
says ditto to the conclusions of Rip
ley, Kean, Sergi and others. And as
regards the "Aryan race" of the high
schoolroom, why, the science of
ethnology can find no trace of its ex-
istence. The word "Aryan" means
light, learning, culture, education in
the arts, science and industries. It is
Linguistic" and not an chronological
term. Theosophical writer's and
theosophical literature claim that the
Anglo-Saxon, Celt, Dane, Teuton and
, the inhabitants of the United States
are mere "subraces" of the great
root race" which was negroid in char
acter and color, so that the Negro is
the "true ancestor of man." and mans
primitive home was somewhere in
Africa.
