Brown University Player Has Wonder
fol Record on 0ridiron This Season.
When the 1915 football season has
drifted into the easily dimmed and
more easily forgotten past of sporting
events; when things that are still I'M
read from Times unturned pages and
football heroes of the past have had
the nebulous haze Of glory which en-
circles them dimmed a little more;
even after managers Of the various
football teams shall have been terribly
mangled in the terrible crush to claim
championships the present year will
not be devoid of its gridiron stars.
But from among the vast horde Of
men who have chased the pigskin OH
gridirons from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc coast and from the gulf Of Mexico
to the great lakes there 10 one young
athlete who must be hailed a. the peer
Of any of the men who now occupy
inches in the football hall Of fame.
Fred d. Pollard, dusky skinned
young American, halfback' on the
Brown team and particularly bright
luminary of the Brunonian eleven, is
the man. Practically single handed
the young colOred boy has beaten Yale
and Harvard on successive afternoons
on their own fields. He has been the
backbone of the hammering attack
which has brought Brown through q
tough season with an unbroken string
of victories. He plays fostsall be-
cause he likes it, and his eqdiet de-
pertinent, grit and stamina, coupled
with his remarkable ability, have fore
ed crowds at both New Haven and
Cambridge, sorrowful in defeat, to
stand up and acclaim him As he left
the field.
Pollard is now in his second year
At Brown. having matriculated there

school, Chicago 1t Is said that be-
fore entering Brown Pollard went up
and looked around Dartmouth. where
his brother had played football some
years ago. His mind was not made
up on what school he would attend,
although he had decided that it would
be either Dartmouth or Brown. He
finally decided OIL Brown, much to the
sorrow Of Yale and Harvard men. not
to mention the sons Of various other
colleges.
There Is no hint that Pollard came
to Brown through any persuasion be-
cause Of his athletic ability, and this
Is said because sometimes there have
been hints Of proselytizing in the case
of other star athletes. Sure enough
he played scholastic football, and play
ed well, for three years while stu
dent in Lane Tech, but he was not an
outstanding star He came to Brown
unknown and made no talk Of even
trying for the football team.
As a matter of fact, none of the
coaches or men interested in football
up at the Providence university knew
that the quiet young colored boy knew
anything about football. They did
know that in his spare time he used
to come out and watch the practice;
but, then, pretty nearly every other
student does the same thing.
The first inkling the coaches had that
he knew anything about the game was
last year, a month after the pyactice
season had started. One day Pollard
came out to the field and asked the
head coach II he might don a uniform
and come out for practice. The coach
asked Pollard II he had ever played
the game, and Pollard told of his high
school experience. As result Pollard
came out that day and every day there
after and finished the season as ono Of
the stars of the team. ss
It is not all football and hurrah for
Pollard. With him It is case ~ drop
ping the natiron to be dropped on the
gridiron. You see, Pollard is working
his way through college and earns the
money for his expenses by running .
little tailor shop. The work keeps him
pretty busy, and now he has another
colored student helping him. OF course
it may be that his business has grown
through his prowess as football play
er, for who would not have his trousers
pressed by a man who In a weeks lime
can press both Yale and Harvard into
the datness of defeat?

LABOR DRIFT FROM SOUTH.
Natural Outcome Of Desire For Better
Conditions and Protection.

Natural Outcome of Desire For Better
Conditions and Protection.
The latest figures on the number of
colored persons who have left the
south within the past six months ia
given as $4,000. Ninety-five per cent
are men ranging in age from eighteen
to fifty This large number Is scatter
ed in the following named states: New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West Viz
ginia and Connecticut. The majority
of these are from Georgia. Florida.
Tennessee and Alabama. AS a natural
result Of this great exodus Of laborers
the industries of the states from
which they come must suffer.
The big farmers are at their wits
end to cope with the situation. Espe-
cially is this true in the cotton belt sec
lions of the south. This growing I'M
rest among the colored people to better
their condition, however, is no new
thing to the thousands Of white people
in the different sections Of the south,
who are accustomed to employing col
ored people as farm hands and the
like. They have long known that
whenever the opportunity presented
itself these people would take advan-
tage of 1t to better their condition as
to wages, environment, facilities Tor
education and protection from mob vio-
renee, which has come to be like ma
tional game Of athletics, INDUCED in at
will.
The reports of the bureau Of immi-
grafton Of the department Of labor
show that during the fiscal years OF
1915 and 1915 10000 Italians returned
to Italy, 2,170 Bulgarians, Servians and
Montenegrins, 3,622 Germans, 1880
subjects Of Great Britain, S,006 French
men, 1,4OO Roumanians, 1000 Rus
SLAMS and 1000 Japs to their native
countries.
Last spring, when the business Of thu
railroads and the mines began to pros
per as they had not done before II
years, the demand for unskilled labol
increased rapidly. The freight conges
ton in and about New York caused
pressing demand for truck hands. II

MISS GARRICK WAS TOLD THAT
HER CASE WAS HOPELESS
PROPHECY FAILED.

You have about three months tn

Huger street, Columbia, was told af-
ter she had undergone an operation
for stomach trouble, more than a
year ago. Miss Garrick says. I did
not die, but l did continue to feel
terribly until 1 recently found a
means of combating my troubles
Miss Garrick says she believes she
has at last found a means of restor-
ing her health, which, all too soon for
her years, has continually threatened
to break down completely during the
past ten years. She has been a suf-
ferer with stomach trouble and sew
eral kindred ailments which reduced
her health to a state which made her
almost wretched all the time, she
said. Tanlac, the master medicine,
Miss Garrick believes, will prove its
superior worth in her case, as it has
IN hundreds of other cases IN South
Carolina. Her statement follows:
Il suffered for ten years with
stomach trouble, indigestion, nery-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness and awful
headaches. My system all the time
was in very much run down condi-
ton. More than a year ago | be-
came so i'll that l felt | would die.
After had undergone an operation.
l was told l could hardly live more
than three months.
"Of coursed did not die, but l did
continue to feel terribly. Nothing
seemed to relieve my troubles. l
took many kinds of medicines, but
to no avail. l would have headaches
frequently, and they were so painful
l thought surely would 20 crazy.
While had a headache l was forced
to stay in my bed. l would suffer
with a heavy, full feeling about my
stomach after eating. and l had little
appetite. l was forced to eat very
light diet. My condition had teen
growing steadily worse for the past
ten years.
Il decided to try Tanlac as sort
of forlorn hope, as l had read so
much about its wonderful effects.
The first bottle relieved my stomach
trouble to an extent l consider re-
markable. l began to sleep well, and
my appetite became enormous, so

Shoes Stolen While He Slept.

SuOSo otOASA vVuAAS A4S SASP"
A colored parson, waiting for q
train at the Atlantic Coast Line sta.
ton at Fayetteville, N c, recently,
was robbed of the shoes from his
feet and later held up at the point
Of gun and relieved of a consider
able sum of money.
1t came about in this manner: The
parson went to dreamland while re-
clining on one of the seats. He
slept soundly. So soundly. indeed,
that he never woke when negro
unlaced his shoes, pulled them from
his feet and walked out of the sta
ton. In few minutes the whistle
of the approaching train sounded
and the parson awoke-barefooted.
Instead of catching the train to
serve his congregation. he set off in
q mad dash across a vacant lot in
search of the fellow who had rob-
bed him. Luck was with the par
son for once and he caught the rob-
Der with the shoes dangling on his
arm. But wait.
When that negro whirled around
and showed a big gun into the par
sons face, he is said to have drop
ped like a rock.
Out wild yer kale. nigger, yelled
the hold-up man, and the parson
shelled out every single, solitary
cent he had. Then he said:
Please. mista, gimme back my
Shoes" and the negro gave them
back.
