BASE BALL

In series of 6 games between
the Bohemian Giants, crack col
ored team, managed by Mr.. Chas.
Freeman, of Peoria, and the Ma
tionals, the best white team in the
county, the Nationals won the
pennant. 1t was series of the
best games we have had here
since the Springfield team went
out of the Three | League. The
teams were to have played 6 games,
but on Sept. oath, they played
tie games of ten innings. The
first two games were won by Pc
oria, Keys, of St. Louis was on
the mound and Kobb received.
The second two games were won
by the Nationals, and the 9Th game
was a tie. Sunday, Oeb. 1, wis
the spectacular game and a large
host of fans were out. Poston
was on the mound and did excel
lent work, but was found in the
7th inning, when the Nationals
won the contest. 1t was one of
the finest games of the year and
looked as though the colored boys
had the locals shut out up to the
9th inning. Up to this time the
game was professionalism. Har-
ris and Rabbit made some of the
finest plays ever made semi-pros.

INCOME OF A NEGRO BOY
$500, 900 A YEAR

Now and then, at short intervals,
news reaches us from Oklahoma
of some Negro boy or girl falling
heir to a property whose income
amounts to hundreds of thousands
of dollars year.
Adam Manuel, a Negro citizen
of the Greek nation, recently died
and left five children living, one
of them, Luther Manuel, a minor
son, is believed to be the richest
Negro boy in the world.
when the allotments we're made,
that assigned to Luther, was
worthless for farming purposes.
The father complained that the
land was valueless but he was un-
able to have any change made.
1t turned out that Luther's al
lotments lay in the heart of the
Gushing oil field, and now this
Negro boy, Luther Manuel, draws
an income of $50, 900 month or
5000, 900 a year from the oil yield
of his allotment. Sarah Rector, a
Negro girl, has been considered
the most fortunate of the Negro
Indian citizens who took allot-
ments in that country, but her for
tune is far less than Luther Man.
uel's For a time when the Cush-
ing oil field first began to pour
forth its wealth, his income was
$1,000 a day. Now, at times it is
more than $4,000 a day. This
Luther Manuel is the Croesus
whose blackness casts an almost
impenetrable shade upon the old
Indian King and opens up possi-
bilities for wealth that makes truth
stranger than fiction. =
The mamoth fortunes of this
nation have been built on the spon-
taneous Weddings of the forest,
the mines, the soil, unearned in
crement and unpaid labor. Now
and then, should Goddess Fortune
smile upon some black face and
fill our baskets with her bounty,
we should also erect temples to
her honor, as was done in the good
old days of Roman glory.

Then, as the car stopped on the back

next move.
There, in the hollow almost exactly
like the Valley Tract in their own
Colony Park, was a vision of old Italy
of the Renaissance. Marble terraces,
glowing with greenery and multi-col-
ored flowers led down majestically to
exquisite sunken gardens and lagoons
on which white swans glided and a
gondola swan.
Fountains, statuary, vine covered
pergolas, pictures sun dials, beautiful
sweeps of steps, lazily floating pen

Before the actual spectacle of what

Roses proposal for Valley Tract. In

all along as against his wifes idea of
making a bit of mountain wilderness
of Valley Tract.
"But, Rose, the majority of the
people in our place have already voted
against this Italian sunken garden
