teams as its baseball objective.
"We had no idea how easy it would
be to get games in the South Atlantic
section" Is the way Byrd puts Il.
Letters written e, the South Atlantis
intercollegiate Association members
brought 8ttth ael1earty response. The
swapping of games with these coll
leges and the greatly lessened expense
OF our triPa over the sxorbitantS de-
mands OF the NortheFners found a
willing welcome.
VIII visit First.
I'VE will visit the others first and
then have scheduled games with
those colleges here. We are taking
up the matter Of entertainment. When
South Atlantic colleges come to State
to play we will house and feed the
teams. They in turn will do the same
for the State teams. with the result
that the guarantee can be used for
railroad expenses.
For many years past we have been
paying Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Har-
ward, and other college teams any
where from $175 to S225 for single
game. As We are not allowed to
charge a cent for admission at Col
lege Park these sums were a dead
financial loss.
This year and in years to come we
will play each other and will save
money and have just as good, IL not
better, competition. It is a peculiar
hn
ways ready to come South in the
spring, but can find no place for US
when we want to go North later in
the season.
Dead Loss Resulted.
THE trips the colleges here have
taken North have resulted in a dead
loss financially on account Of the fact |
that few colleges would schedule re- |
turn games, and then in such in
stances as to make the jumps be- !
tween games so long that railroad |
fares are too expensive. 1t costs a |
small fortune. for, instance. to take a |
team from Lehigh University, at |
at Medford. Mass, for the |
next game. We could not stand it"
That the South Atlantic colleges
are more than glad of the arrange
ment is vouchsafed by c. A Bernier, |
Of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, at /

Bernier offered the solution OF en-

Denses.
Teams Fell In Line.
The other S. a. I. a. A. teams read
Iy fell in line with the proposal. and
Is a result it will be easier to sched-
lie games, knowing that entertain

n basketball as we'll as baseball the
policy will be carried out l.
Football teams leave town the day

generally so that the arrangement

THREE THINGS NEGRO WORKERS
WANT.

One OF the things / find colored
men and women all over this county
want is a fair and square chance
to work at whatever they can do and
in whatever place they can do 1t.
They are simply asking for plain,
ordinary justice, and for a chance
to get Jobs; and, as long as they
can do those jobs, to have chance
TO hold them.
Second, working men are asking
for an opportunity TO be trained for
their jobs. What we want is the
equipment TO do whatever work we
feel ourselves called upon to do
that the world wants done, whether
that be writing books or following a
pillow, editing a newspaper or preach
ing sermon, laying brick wall,
building a ship, or giving council,
at the peace table We want educa-
ton at the expense of the public
funds; we want the great bulk of the
people taken off charity list for their
education, and put on the basis of
taxation.
Third, ! find that Negro men and
women all over this country want
a share in the common benefits of
the community. l mean those pub
lie facilities in every community be-
sides education. find common
consensus of opinion among work
ing men all over this land that they
want those ordinary benefits that
every modern community now has
provided for the residents. They are
beginning to feel that they want
sewerage, and paved streets
