|IF PORTLAND COMES INTO
NV. LEACUE,THE SUCCESS
OF 1918 SEASON is SURE

Portland has been voted out of
the Pacific coast league, but 1t is
by no means a member of the
Northwestern league, as some re-
ports would lead the fans to be-
lieve.
There are many things to be
done before Portland can really
sever connections with the class
AA circuit and be admitted to this
league.
1t is true that the directors of
the Coast circuit yesterday voted
to suspend the Portland club, but
they did the same thing last win
ter. and 1t is an undisputed fact
that Portland was on the job in
the Coast league last year just the
same as ever.
Among the things that must be
done before Portland is free to
cast its lot with us in the trans
ferring of the Coast league fran
chise to some other city. At pres
ent Sacramento is bidding for this
honor, but how the California cap
ital can support a Coast league
team in these perilous times, when
1t failed in the gala years of the
past, is question that we prefer
to pass by unanswered.
Until the Coast league franchise
has been disposed of, and Portland
is free from a class AA yoke,

Double Quartet
Makes Real Hit

There is no act in vaudeville
that makes such sure-fire hit as
a good male singing number. And
it isn't any breach Of stage conf
dence to admit that a number of
mediocre singing acts far exceed
the good ones.
The Rural Eight, a double quar-
tet Of young men in rube costumes,
is a real hit. Intermingling songs
of differen. types in well-studied
manner, these young men broke
all records in their first appear
ance at the Hippodrome Sunday.
They sang everything they knew,
for encores, and then had to end
up with a new patriotic number
which hadn't yet been added to
the act.
The Ross Brothers, mere chill
drer, gave a good exhibition of
physical culture and boxing. THE
Jitney Banquet" was clever skit
staged in a cafeteria. Billy Morse,
blackface comedian, has a fast
line of chatter. Bergquist Broth
ers extracted sweet music from
their accordions. The Mabel
Fonda troupe juggled cleverly.

nothing can be done toward MAX
ing application for a place in the
Northwestern league.
There's no doubt at all but that
the return of Portland to the
Northwestern league would be a
Godsend to this circuit.
With Tacoma, Seattle, Portland
Spokane, Vancouver and one other
Northwestern city in the league,
there would be a combined popu-
lation of considerably over 1,000,-
900 persons in the circuit, thus
giving the league a ranking in
class A.
The intense rivalry between Sc
attic and Portland would again
crop out. The teams would have
power to increase their player linz
1t and their salary roll.
1t is more than probable that
Montana will be removed from the
Northwestern league next year IL
Portland comes in. The great dis
lance between cities over there
eats up all of the teams profits in
railroad fares.
No definite action regarding the
return of Portland will be taken
until the Northwestern league
meeting in December. when the af-
fairs of the circuit will be I'M
tangled.

Following all predictions, the
lincoln Park football team wiped
Stadium high school in the mud
Saturday afternoon, taking the
second interscholastic games by a
score of Is to 6. Lincoln only
needs one more victory to become
city champions again this year.
The Stadium field was heavy
and muddy. Forward passes and
trick plays had to be forgotten,
and both teams played straight
football. Stadium deserves credit
for it's defense, for altho the team
is lighter than its opponents, 1t
put up a stubborn and steady
game. Ralph Pollen, quarter
back for Lincoln, blossomed out
as star of the game.

advanced recently, someone sug-
gested that the regiment put on a
show different and better than
anything yet attempted at the can

were enough professional actors

Who is the champion boxer of
all the boys now training to send
Bill Hohenzollern down for the
count?
Maybe we'll know in the not
very dim nor distant future, II the
war department takes this tip and
encourages the fellows in canton
ments to settle the question
among themselves. They don't
need encouragement. All they
need is permission.
They're young fellows. young
and full of life, and nothing will
tickle 'em more than to have a
grand national boxing contest
open to every lad who is fitting
himself for the big fight-licking

The company, regiment and
cantonment boxing cards at Camp
: Lewis are already a big success.
Why not select few champions
there and let them enter an inter-
cantonment boxing tournament?

Baker?
How about 1t, commanders of
environments?
You have or soon will have
plenty Of boxing instructors, the
niftiest lineup of glove artists
ever signed up. They can put the
lads next to ring atctics.
There might be trials in each
company for three weights, heavy,
middle and light.
Add a welter and a bantam II
the boys want the whole card.
When the companies have their
champions, stage a few regimental
bouts to get the champions of the
regiment. Then the big card, with
the whole cantonment interested
in who is their best boxer in each
of the ring classes. Follow with
inter-cantonment bouts.

CRIME.

The Rev. Elmer L. Williams has WIT.
ten an open letter to States Attuug
Hoyne in which he answers the urox.
eutor's recent statement that the caa~
of crime in Chicago is "tough saloons
poolrooms, and politics in the admins
tration of the criminal law" and
places the blame for these conditions
upon Mr.. Hoyne.
He charges that "there is no en-
forcement of criminal law against tie
worst element of Chicago. He cites q
proof the present freedom of members
of the clairvoyant trust, arson tTuS
burglary trust, wire tapping trust, and
Eddie Mack, who engineered the n
berry of the Washington Park Nafda
bank.
"The remedy" writes the Rev. NJ
Williams, "is in this short fOrmuh
Mr.. Hoyne, which it is your dut! .
follow out: 'Open the doors Of Chi
cago hotels where you house ertmins
at the county's expense and drive tie
criminals out. Close the doors Of ths

driven the criminals in"

THE LAST RECRUITS OF SLAVERY.

Perhaps the most interesting colony
of Negroes in America today is to be
found in the State of Alabama, about
three miles from the heart of Mobile.
Here in a little town called Plateau,
lives a group of nine weather-beaten,
grizzled old men and women, the rem
nant of the last cargo of slaves
brought to American soil from the
coast of Africa. The youngest is enter
ing on his seventy-sixth year; the old
est is not less than one hundred and
ten; while just few years ago one of
their number died who had seen more
than one hundred and forty years.
They were brought to America in
the summer of 1859. In '65 their
emancipation came. For the next few
years they were buffeted about by
changing fortunes without any settled
home.
One among them, wiser than the rest,
saw the dangers of their unsettled con-
dirion. Not owning their homes they
could be turned out at any time, and,
hiring themselves to strange masters
in search of laborers, they might some
day be carried off again into slavery,
perhaps to Cuba or Porto Rico, for
they learned that slavery still existed
there. With such incentive behind
them they selected tract of land Just
outside Mobile, on Three-Mile Creek,
and began the purchase of homes.
As one goes over and about Plateau,
he is struck with the appropriateness
of the setting in which this African
colony is to be found. About one-half
the town is owned by Negroes; and of
the property occupied by them, at least
seventy-fve per cent is owned by their
own people. The largest single hold
ing of land among them is between
fifty and sixty acres. Another Negro
landlord owns and rents about twenty
houses. There are nine stores, of which
seven are owned and operated by Col
ored men. The largest of them all is
one of these seven and represents a vol
ume of business amounting to more
than $11, 900 annually. - Southern
