1000 FANS WITNESS
DEFEAT OF GIANTS
BY PHOENIX TIGERS

Over 1000 baseball fans crowded
into the grand stand at East Lake
Park last Sunday to witness the game
between the Western Giants and
Tigers. These teams are old rivals
and good game is always the result
of their meeting.
On Sunday the Tigers proved their
superiority over the Giants by win
ming the game with the score to O..
The Giants played excellent ball, no
question about that, but they were
simply outclassed. Wiz White, for
the Giants, pitched a heady game,
tanning eight men. Salazar, pitcher
on the Tiger team, famed seventeen
men and with the wonderful support
he had, the game was cinch. Whites
support was poor and it is next to
impossible for the pitcher to win a
game by himself.
The Tigers now stand at the head
of the City League and unless some
thing out of the ordinary happens,
the pennant will be won by them.

BOMBING OF HOMES

CITY CONTINUES
(By The Associated Negro, Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Sept. 1.-For the seventh
time in less than two years, on last
Thursday night the $4,000 dwelling
in the Englewood residential district,
owned by Jesse Binga, the Negro
banker, was bombed. Two men in a
large automobile were seen to speed
north, woman's voice cried, Look
out!" and then the roar of the ex-
plosion sounded. AS usual, the pillars
of the front porch were blown out of
place and scores of window panes in
the neighborhood were shattered.
Binga and his family were out of
the city and the only one in the house
was a maid who locked herself in and
refused to open the door. The last
time the home was bombed was last
November. Previously, explosives
had been hurled at the residence no
less than five times in six months.
Enmity of a number of white persons
against Binga because he had sold
property in white" districts to Col
ored persons is thought to be respon-
sible for the bombings.

White PROFESSOR
SPEAKS OUT AGAINST
INJUSTICE TO RACE
(By Fdererick G. Detwiler for The
Associated Negro Press)

Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, nlS Seph 1.-Colonel
Robert T. Kerlin, who wrote to the
governor of Arkansas an open letter
published in the New York Nation in
which he asked for justice for the
Elaine men condemned to death, has
been summarily dismissed from his
professorship by the Board of Virginia
Military Institute of Lexington, Va.
Colonel Kerlin, who is a Doctor of
Philosophy from Yale, has been for
sometime professor of English at the
colored people as the author of The
Voice of the Negro, a work setting
forth the appeal to the nation made
by te Negro Press; and also as mem
Der of the Interracial Committee of
the state of Virginia. For several
years, he has given himself without
stint to the cause of racial justice, and
there is not a man among the white
group who has done so with finer
ideahsm or truer spirit of democracy.
One June 18th of this year The Ma
ton printed over Col. Kerlin's name
an open letter to Governor McCrea
pleading the cause Of the condemned
men in connection with the so-called
'insurrection" near Hoop Spur, Ark
ansas. The facts of the farcical trial
of scores of Negroes without legal
counsel, without witnesses" are re-
cited and a most solemn appeal is
made to Magma Charta, the American
Constitution, and the Bible itself.
The Board of Virginia Military
Institute, school that receives part
of its support from the government
demanded Professor Kerlin's resigna-
ton in "a meeting held August I'd at
Richmond. On his refusal to resign
the board automatically dismissed
him with these words:

flecting upon the administration of
justice in that state, and those upon
whom the solemn duty rests of en-
forcing the. laws therein lin which
connection the Board has considered
his general activities in interracial
matters), has rendered his further
connection with the Virginia Military
Institute undesirable, and his reten-
ton in the professorship instead of
promoting the beneficial ends for
which the Institute was established,
would prove harmful and detrimental
thereto, and embarrassing to those
responsible for its conduct and man.
agement and prejudicial to the inter-
ests which it is their duty to guard
and protect"
Professor Kerlin will not be without
friends in this experience who will
stand by him to the last ditch 1t is
for Virginia we are sorry, for it is
hard to see such things happen in
state so rich in American traditions.
Why should Virginia soil her soul by

BISHOP FLIPPER
OF A. NJ. E. Church
FACES UGLY Charge
Especial To The Tribune)

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. II am fully
prepared to vindicate myself by most
positive and convincing evidence"
declared Bishop ]. S. Flipper, of the
A. NJ. E. Church, concerning charges
of immortality laid against him by
Mrs. Candus M. Davis, of Hawkins
vile, Ca, at Chicago session of the
Bishops Council.
In lengthy affidavit Mrs. Davis
charges that the Bishop has been her
sweetheart for seventeen years and
she has borne him one child, al
though he was married man with
children.
Mrs. Davis alleges that she met
Bishop Flipper in 1904 when she was
but 16 years of age, and that he was
at that time married man, the
president of Morris Brown College
Yet, she says, he withheld from her
the fact that he had a wife, and made
fbye to her, promising to marry and
educate her
Very shortly after that Mrs. Davis
alleges that she found out that he
was married, but taking advantage Of
her youth influenced her to continue
the alliance.
Breaks Up Her Family
The affidavit further recites that
the affair between the two continued
up to the year 1916, when she was
married, but that Bishop Flipper still
pursued and harassed her to the ex-
tent that her husband finally drove
her from home on account of the at
tentions paid her. The Bishop then
bore her expenses, she says, in or
der to keep the matter out of court
and avoid unpleasant notoriety for
himself.
Buys Back Love Letters
In the meantime Mrs Flipper had
died, and according to Mrs. Davis,
Bishop Flipper, fearing that he would
be forced into marriage with her
gave her $500 for return of love let
ters he had written her. She says
there were SO of them.
Appeals to Bishops Council
Charging that she had borne a baby
to the Bishop, and despairing of any
relief, Mrs. Davis says she finally
