IaXicab team handled by Manager

Manager Walton has added many
stars to his outfit and promises to
make an interesting race, Walton ex-

have this hole plugged this season
with Bridges and Richardson on the
firing line. Bridges Is a seasoned
amateur recently returned from the
army where he performed creditahly in
various army baseball contests while
Richardson, slightly younger than
Bridges, looks as il he can give a
good account Of himself. The Knights
or Columbus have entered a strong
aggregation of players In re-entering
baseball after many years absence. They
have a strong hurting corps headed by
Tommy Long which does not by any
means, indicate that they have placed
the matter of winning and losing in the
ability of Tommy Long as they have
such players as Wade and others of
Wade's class to aid Long in the pen

Africa Attracting
Worldwide Attention
At This Time
(By Associated Negro Press)

GLENN FALLS, N. Y, Dec. "a
Africa, the Land of the Fathers"
is attracting worldwide attention.
The return of Colonel Young to Libe.
ria has aroused general interest, and
occasionally, as the Glenn Falls, N.
Y, Post-Star, the truth about Africa
is told. 1t is known that:
"The Jews return to Palestine is
of profound significance from several
points of view, but the increasing
interest of the Negro race in Africa
has not received so much attention.
The Zionism of the Jew is paralleled
Ly the Africanism of the Negro.
Africa is the Negroes continent of
origin. The past history of the race
has many noble points. Ancient and
learned civilizations were erected by
Negro peoples and many famous
lines of kings were created by their
nations. 1t was only when white
civilization, with it's rum and vices,
touched the shores of Africa to de-
bauch the black man and to abduct
him into slavery that a stigma of
inferiority was placed upon him, and
that by those who had violated his
human rights.
However, there is today new
consciousness of solidarity among
the Negro race and a new appre-
citation of Africa as the land of their
future development The first Ne
gro-owned liner is trading between
New York and South Africa. A
company called the Black Star line
has been organized to create a line
of twenty-four ships, of which the
first is named Frederick Douglas.
There may be no general exodus of
Negroes to Africa, but there will be
a general increase in the CONNER
cial relations between the Negroes of
America and the continent of their
origin. The future of the Negro race
promises to he active"
