LIBERIA AND AFRICAN DE-
MocRAcY.

Hampton, Va, Feb.-That it is
the duty of some Negro Americans
to go to Africa and help build up q
democrhcy in which there shall pre-
vail international justice and good.
win was the vigorous plea recently
made by the Rev. DR.. N. H. B. Gas
sch, president of the College of Lii.
IBERIA, West Africa, to the Hampton
Institute student body. DR.. Cassell
said:
"God places duty upon you Afro
Americans, to whom He has given
these wonderful opportunities, to 60
into Africa and build Africa up and
establish there democracy in religion,
in politics, in sociology, and prove
Liberia to be the open door to de-
mocracy. That is the message which
l bring to the Afro-Americans, and
particularly to the, younger Afro
Americans who are in school.
"Afro-Americans are not really
and truly awake to the fact that there
is a point of contact between them
selves and the Republic of Liberia.
They have been disposed to associate
themselves from the African prob
lens. In the methods they have pur-
sued for wealth they have begun to
feel that the God in this world is
the almighty dollar. Possibly they
have believed that God is a God of
force, just as the Germans did. There
is only one thing that is going to last
everlastingly and that is the good we
do for men, the help we bestow upon
men, the lifting up of men,"
President Cassell described the
contributions which Africa has made
to the literature of the world, to the
arts and sciences, and to church his
tory. He condemned. most heartily
the caricatures of Africa which have
commonly appeared in biographies
and histories.

Liberals Future.

Liberia stands for quite a differ
emit thing in Africa than the methods
of the European peoples who have
been colonizing in Africa. Liberia
stands for republican ideas in Africa.
Liberia stands for the establishment
of the religion Of Jesus Christ in
Africa Liberia stands for the adop-
ton of a national idea and a ma
tional ideal
Let rs hope that Liberia shall be
upheld; let us hope that Liberia shall
be given fair chance; let rs hope
that the pressure and the disadvan-
tages which have been the experience
Of Liberia in the past years, are all
going to pass away and that, As .
small nation, she shall be regarded,
sac shall be supported. she shan be
upheld

Jeffries and Bill Brown Also Mentioned for Third Man in Willard Dempsey
 Fight.

New York, Feb. 12-The possibility of having Jim Corbett, former heavy weight champion, referee the pro- posed championship bout between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey was discussed yesterday by Promoter Tex Rickard. This question and the site for the bout are the only details re- maining to be arranged.
 To Promoter Rickard Is left the f. nal choice of a referee. The partici pants will have an opportunity to agree mutually upon an arbiter, but in the event that the boxers are un- able to reach an understanding Rick ard will do the choosing. The pro- moter yesterday declared he was con- sidering the advisability of having Jim Jeffries offlciate. It was pointed out that Jefrries since he abandoned the ring has been rather out of touch with the trend of pugilistic affairs. His age and long period of comparative inactivity were declared against him. In favor of Corbett, 1t was pointed out he had kept in close touch with ring connections. Bill Brown, vet eran promoter, was another referee suggested. Brown enjoys wide pop ularity throughout the country, gain ed through his fearlessness and his known integrity.
 Promoter Rickard will leave here Sunday. He expects to go to Chica- go and subsequently to Kansas City, where he will discuss final details for the bout with Willard.

The promoter will start away Saturday to look over the field, and by the time he returns he thinks he will have some news on the subject. Quried yesterday as to whether any of the propositions re- garding a site for the big fight ap- pealed to him, the promoter replied:
 There have been several sugges- ttor , made to me that look good. can't say anything as yet for publi- cation, as 1t might interfere with the plans of all concerned. I don't ex- pect to have any trouble in finding a place for the bout, but I certainly will not announce a selection until the various boxing bills in a number of states have been disposed of one

JOE LYNCH 10
 MEET jIMMY WILDE
New York Bantam and Eng fish Flyweight Champion
 to Box in London Mar. 31.

London, Feb. 11-Joe Lynch, the New York bantamweight, has drawn the highest pugilistic prize here, a contest with Jimmy Wilde, the cham pion fiyweight of the world. They are to meet in a 15-round bout in the National Sporting Club on March 31, at 11S pounds, the Welshman conced- ing some six pounds to his prospect i've opponent. There was some ques- ton as to Wilde's physical condition, but the National Sporting Club phy- sician made a complete examination of the champion yesterday and pro nounced him fit to train for the bat tie.
 The match grew out of the three round bout in the international com petition in which Wilde was declared winner over Lynch. The New Yorker in explaining his defeat. asserted that he had not had sufficient time in which to train for the bout, having come out of the trenches and gone direct to the ring.
 Lynch expressed 8 desire for
 another match with his conquerer and said he would prefer long bout in which stamina would count as we'll | as cleverness. His wish Is to be grat- filed, and as he will have plenty of time in which to prepare for battle he will have no excuse to offer if again defeated.
 No title will be at stake in the bout | because of the weight conditions. AL though Wilde has demonstrated his superiority over both bantams and featherweights In this country and could easily capture the titles of those classes. he has not challenged the holders for championship battles, and the Welshman's only title is that of fyweight champion. The limit of the class in England Is 112 pounds at
 p. m.. which weight Lynch cannot make

Jason Confident His Team Can Beat Blue Ribbons Wants the First Game in Ansonia.

Jason Wright, promoter of athletics and president of the board of alder men up Ansonia way was in town last night and issued a formal challenge to the Blue Ribon team to meet them in a series of games.
 The challenge follows:
 The series to be best three out of five, or four out of seven.
 The first game to be played in An sonia, the second the week following in Bridgeport, then q lapse of week and the same program resumed until the series is concluded.

BROOKLYN MINUS ASHMEAD BEATEN
 BY LOCAL TEAM
Joe Ashmead Fails to Show Up and Seaman is Sub
 stituted.

More than 1,200 people turned out last night to see Joe Ashmead, for mer Cornell basketball player and known as one of the cleverest men in the game play against the Blue Rib bons. but more than twelve hundred people were disappointed. Joe did not show up, but one player on the Brooklyn team who did attract quite 8 bit of attention was Skeets Wright.
 Skeets played center against Powers ! of the local team and between the two of them the floor could not have been e1o big. Skeets started the funny work by caging g. basket from the middle of the floor. The next time he got the ball he was probably three quarters down the floor and somebody dared him to try 1t and he did which added two more points to his teams total. This naturally made Powers sore but in the first ! half he was helpless in the hands of Skeets.
 In the second half, though 1t WAS ! just the opposite, and Wright was practically helpless in the hands of Powers, who had taken on a new lease of life. Powers tried quite few long shots but the basket seem- ed to move every time he shot and he was unable to cage but one. Nat Holman and Barney Sedran also played a good game for the locals as did Ripley and the veteran Jimmy Clinton. Seaman and Wright put up the best game for the Brooklyn quin- tet, Seaman especially making some nice shots and playing a pretty floor game.

 Defends WiIlard's Action.
 T have heard that Willard's war record might detract from the public Interest in the bout but I fail to see why such should be the case. While Willard did not go to the front, the same is true of many other boxers I am having compiled a statement showing the amount of money earned by Willard for patriotic objects in comparisn with that of other boxers think it will prove a surprise to the public. While Willard did not box So often es others, he drew more money to each of his exhibitions.
 Another thing I have heard is that Willard has 8 disagreeable person ality and that people will not go to see him box. I am not paying s100.- 900 for sweetness of disposition. I am giving him the money on the SUD- position that he can fight in the ring. By the same token I am not giving Dempsey s27,500 on the strength oi his reputation as a Beau Brummel or a social butterfly. but because of the indications he has given of being a worthy contender for the heavy weight championship of the world.
 Purely a Fighting Proposition.
 This contest is not to be one be- tween drawing room favorites, bnt between two fighting men, and his, tory records the fact that fighting men are not noted for docility ol sweetness of temper. The Huns who bumped against the doughboys vii testify to that fact

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 12. - Full assurance that Harvard's sport pro- gram for the Spring would be carried out with much of the vigor of pre- war days was given in a. statement by the athletic authorities today. Fred erick Knapp, acting graduate athletic manager, announced that the usual Harvard-Ya ale regatta would be held at New London, June 20; that liar yard and Cornell crews would raco at Ithaca, May 31. Harvard and Princeton would meet on the Charles river, April 19; triangular and field meet for Harvard, Yale and Prince Ron probably would be held in Cam bridge May IT, and the university baseball schedule would differ little from the days before the war.
 Freshmen who will row on the Thames river at New London will not have their usual two weeks practice there before the Yale race, and there will be no spring training trip of the baseball team, but these are the only evidences Of curtailment of the old time order of things
