On the roof OF the Wanamaker
store yesterday, Vincent Richards,
| 16-year-old tennis prodigy from New
York, defeated Wallace +. Johnson,
/ the experienced veteran and for
mer Pennsylvania State champion.
Score, Us, 6-3.
Richards and Johnson clashed in
the semifinal round of the Middle

Nearly q thousand tennis fans
made their way to the roof and

around the steel cage in which the
court is built to watch the kid and
the veteran fight it out for supre-
! macy, and they saw q match that
will go down in history as court
classic.
There was everything needful to
arouse the enthusiasm of the crowd
and the applause was practically
continuous. Both played brilliant
tennis, Johnson showing to great adj
vantage in the opening stages of the
first set and Richards coming
| through with a burst of speed at the
finish that swept johnson, hero of
many gruelling battle, complete
ly off his feet.
Volleying, volleying, always volley-
ing, smashing lobs, cutting the side
lines, picking the corners, Richards

simply unbeatable. He took the
| initiative at the start and. though
he could not get going moothly at
first and Johnson piled up a lead of
five games to three in rapid fashion.

only fought the harder. Finally he

his celebrated transcontinental trip,

In the 70s the professional walkers
were 'as celebrated as Ty Cobb and
Benny Leonard are today. They rolled

records set up in those days in Eng

surpassed, and unless professional
walking comes into vogue again,
probably never will be. Dan OLeary,
representing Ireland and America,
defeated in a 800 mile pace by Will

disappointment at the defeat in this

APPOINTED PRINTER IN
U. S. WEATHER REVIEW

ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 10.-Last We'd
nesday the United States Civil Service
Commission certified the name of II. G.
Fisher, 1850 Lawton Avenue, as being
eligible for appointment to the posi-
ton of Printer in the United States
Weather Bureau, st. Louis, Mo. The
appointment came as the result of a
competitive examination held in mis-
city several months ago by the Civil
Service Examiners. OF the large num-
Der who were examined, Mr.. Fisher
was the only colored applicant and
made the highest average.
This young man is regarded as one
of the few best all-around printers of
the Race He possesses distinctive
ideas of literary quality and expresses
them definitely in all of his compost
tions. This style and taste of Art
printing has at intervals attracted the
attention of leading (white) journals

Honor and Protect
Your Women

IF the colored man has not already
protecting his women" it is time that
he was being taught the lesson, for it Is
an undisputed fact that the elevation
of any race can only come through the
elevation of its women. 1t is a little
over generation ago that the colored
woman had no standing and the term
this so-called Christian land of ours to
include colored women. In spite of the
prejudice against her she has in re-
markable time emerged from obscurity
and today she stands on level with
any other woman in the land
Good women" make it their highest
aim to be good wives" The race
needs them and must depend upon
them. When we come to calculate the
forces that decide the destiny of a ma
tion 1t must be confessed thai the
mightiest and greatest come from
homes. Good homes, the very salt of
society; the strength of any nation.
We must have homes in which purity
can be taught Not homes that are po-
lice court breeders. We call upon every
manly man in this country whenever
he hears of reports being circulater
broadcast over the land about the col
ored woman's inferiority and lack of
virtue and other qualities of woman
hood to brand the report as -maliciously
false. And another slur, and mean in
sinuation that should be stopped is the
daily papers referring to our women
as Negresses. Such low mean term
has a tendency to make our women
look odious in the eyes of the world.
These reforms can be brought about if
the colored men and women would take
concerted actions against those agen-
cies that are responsible for the sowing
of the seeds of hatred and slander
against our women and the race in
general.-The Advocate.

upon every sense of decency, honor,
fair play, and simple brotherhood. In
the greatest crisis in human history,
the Negro was used to the limit and
proved himself valiant servant of
great cause. Now, when the crisis is
over, he finds himself thrown aside,
hated and spat upon as much as ever,
banished politically, industrially and
socially from the circle of his fellows.
What wonder that he feels himself be-
ways acted under this same circum-
stance. What he does may not be
right, in the rioting has not been right;
but it is at least human, and has
abundant precedent.
And to every one who knows history
and hates oppression and cruelty, and
loves his fellow-men as brethren in
God-and also has some common
sense there comes at this hour not
only compassion but conviction The
whole situation from the standpoint of
cause and cure, is eminently simple:
(D Cause? A great race, smitten
with sorrow, lowered with genius,
tested by great achievement, demands
to be received into the human family.
The last, but not the least, of the
brethren, calls for recognition.
(2) Cure? This demand must be
granted-this call answered. We
might as well learn first as last-be-
fore disaster instead of after disaster
that there is no settlement of the
Negro question short of equality and
brotherhood. The white man cannot
afford to offer, the black man cannot
afford to accept, anything less. Still
today it is as true as yesterday that

Maddens Amend

Much Opposition

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 6.-EffOrts
of Representative Madden of Illinois,
and a group of Chicago Negroes to in
duce the interstate committee of the
House to incorporate in the railroad
control bill Il measure abOlishing the
"Jim Crow laws of the Southern
states will prove barren of result. Not
only have numerous members of the
committee expressed themselves as OPP
posed to attempting any such legisla-
tiOn, but Chairman Esch, in Il state
ment has unqualifiedly declared him
sely as against any such radical pro-
cedure.
Chairman Esch said the right of Con
greSs to eliminate the Jim Crow
laws of the state is certainly debata-
BILE, and added that, even granting
Congress to possess the right in its
control of interstate commerce under
the constitution, such II law would on
ly serve to raise Il great controversy
in the states affected.
Chairman Esch says there should be
no discrimination in the service ac-
corded to any passengers on payment
of like fare, but beyond requiring like
service and adequate cars and equip
ment for Negroes, he does not believe
anything will be done by Congress.
Members of the House declare posi-
lively there will be no attempt made
to eliminate the Jim Crow laws in
the Southern states, and they deplore
the agitation of the question by Mad
den and his Negro friends mt a time
when the race question is regarded as
acute throughout the country.
