President Singleton was eloquently
placed in nomination by Justice Robert
H. Terrell of the district municipal
court. Mr.. Singleton's annual address
was a "corker," standing out strongly
for a "greater Muse Lit club" for an
enlargement of its scope as social In
fuence and a keener vitalization of its
power as a civic force in the COM
munity. He believed the club should
represent in practical fashion the best
thought of the colored people of Wash
ington on all Of the big questions that
confront us as a race.
This, he indicated, Is not going far
afield and departing from our function
as social organization, but to pro
mote the civic welfare is to give a no
bier and broader meaning to the word
social" His address bristled In fine
points and was warmly applauded
throughout, and an ovation followed
its conclusion.
Other addresses were delivered dur
ing the evening by Whitfield McKin-
ley former collector of the port OF

of the wide esteem in which Mr.. Muir
ply is held as an editor and praised
his work for the upbuilding of the
Afro-American. Rev. A. l.. Gaines
paid a fine tribute to the guest of
honor. reeiting his services for the
race along uplift lines.
Warner II. McGuinn told of the hos
fifty of the daily press when it comes
to publishing the bright side of the
race, pictured the trials that fall to
the lot of race editor and declared
that the guest of honor had blazed the
trail in chronicling events of racial
moment.
DIR. Ernest Lyon declared that the
guest of honor had always appealed to
him because of "his intense love for
liberty and hatred of all oppression"
Rev. George Il. Bragg told of his long
association with the editor of the Afro
American Ledger and said he was ac-
quainted with his aims and ideals.
Rev. II. w. s. Thomas in a well re-
ceived address praised the work of the
race press and said that editors bring
to the front things needed for the peo-
pie.
In an address punctuated with good
stories DR.. w. A. Sinclair of Philadel-
phia praised the work Of the editor and
told of two recent attempts to get Mr..
Murphy to accept fiattering positions
out of the city.
When POSTMASTER McMechen intro
duced the guest of the evening he was
greeted with flattering ovation.
After asserting that he thought that
he hardly deserved all of the good
things that had been said about him
Mr.. Murphy advised his hearers to
work for community and racial uplift.
II am afraid that many of us" he
went on to say, think because we are
colored that we have no civic RESPONSE
bilities. considering ourselves a thing
apart in the community. l would that
all of us would consider ourselves a
part of the community and work to-
ward racial and general betterment.
We must get behind our professional
and business men and adequately sup
port them. In this room there are
enough brains and capability properly
directed to shape the destiny of the
race in Baltimore. We must work for
the larger things, and then we will mer-
it general confidence"
Musical numbers were furnished by
Rev. Charles II. Stewart, Mr.. Howard
d. Brent, Mr. Ernest Purviance and
Mr.. John W. Brown. At the eonclu-
sion of the speeehmaking DR.. Lyon pro-

it In the forefront as to reliability and
influence Born in Baltimore Dec. 20,

Local Bunch of Heavy Hitters Will Meet Either Eleventh or Eighteenth Infantry in Their First Game.

With speedy baseball players drift ing in every day and signing up with the different mining companies teams in the district, Warren Park every afternoon resembles big league train ing camp. The Tigers have practical ly completed their. organizations and will make their bow to local fans for the first time this season next Sunday afternoon, when they will cross bats with either the Eleventh or Eighteenth infantry teams from Camp Harry J. Jones, Douglas. Little is known as yet of the Eleventh infantry crowd. but if the Tigers meet the Eighteenth and make a good showing they can be counted to dish out good ball for the entire season.
 Manager Kline has lined up bunch of heady players, and claims to have the heaviest hitters in the league. One of the latest additions to the Tigers lineup is Annis, formerly with the Coast and Northwestern leagues, who will heave part of the time this season. Annis played with Prescott last year and, although the mile high city nine came to a rather inglOrious end Annis was given most of the credit for what good playing was shown by the team. Evans. from the Oakland Coast League nine, will di- vide mound honors with Annis. The Oakland boy is husky lad. with lots of speed and a good head and he and Annis are expected to do some pitch ing that is pitching

DOUGLAS, Mar. 29.-If a stranger in town, particularly one who had been reading the rumors of the possi- ole raiding of some border town by Mexican bandits, had happened to be south of the United States infantry camp about S:3O this morning, he could hardly have been blamed for thinking that all the troops stationed in Douglas had been called to repel some real or threatened attack. The booming of guns would have added to this impression and the presence of the cavalry, infantry, artillery and hospital corps would have made it ap- pear almost a certainty.
 But such was not the case. It was simply a review and inspection Of the troops by Maj. Gen. J. J. Pershing who arrived here last night from Ma co. This is the first time that Gen. Pershing has been here since he was made commander of the southern de- partment as successor of the late Gen. Frederick Funston.

 Notwithstanding the fact that prac- tically half of the infantry has been removed from Douglas, the gathering this morning was a creditable show ing of strength.
