Joe Lynch. former bantamweight

belt emblematic of the championship,
to be competed for by Pete Herman,
the present title holder. and Johnny
Buff. fyweight boss. in their fifteen
round bout in the Madison Square Gar
den ring tomorrow night. Promoter
Richard has been endeavoring for sew
eral days to get in communication with
either Lynch or his manager, Eddie
Mead. to ask them to bring back the
prize. but to date has been unsuccess-
full.
Lynch was awarded the belt last
winter In the amphitheatre when he
detroned Herman. To become the
calls for three straight victories, so
that when Herman turned the tables
on Lynch. even though the contest
was not held under Richards auspices
the belt reverted to the promoter.
1t is expected that the West slider
will see his way clear and have some
one return the belt in time for to-
morrow nights affair. Buff already
has strangle hold on the flyweight
belt
Both Herman and Buff will wind UP
their training this afternoon and be
ready to weigh in at 11S pounds at
p. NJ. tomorrow. The former got a
bit of cut over his right eye Tues
day but 1t has healed completely. Over
in Jersey City Bluffs admirers are
picking him to beat the title holder
Herman. as they point with pride to
the wonderful condition the veteran
campaigner is in. They are taking
all the 21as and Ss in sight. They
complain they can't get even that Her.

Evans Has Peculiar Day.

To take the rest OF the matches in
their chronological order. Chick Evans
had rather a peculiar day of 1t, with
r. Il. Bockenkamp. a st. Louis product,
being up on the first nine, up at
the thirteenth and only up at the con-
clusion of the first eighteen. In the
afternoon Bockencamp squared the
match on the first hole, then Charles
the First came out of his shell and sim
ply played Mister BoclSencamp into a
cockleshell rowboat and set him adrift
in stormy sea. And this despite the
fact that Bockencamp himself went out
in 81. Chick won the third. fourth and
fifth and ninth. to turn 4 up. Coming
home he added the tenth, eleventh and
thirteenth.
Sweetser had L. r. Burning of Edge
wood, Chicago, to grapple with in the
second round. Jess got his strangle hold
working early, for he was out In 80 and
4 up. He did not score SO well coming
home, but 1t was stout match play
game nevertheless, and what is more to
the point, 1t left Sweetser still holding
on to his four hole lead as he went in

BRITISH PAIR SHOW
FINE GOLF IN RAIN
Duncan and Mitchell Beat
Barnes and HutchisOn 5 and 4
Score Near Record.

George Duncan and Abe Mitchell. two
mighty good golfers. defeated Jim
Barnes and Jock Hutchison. pair of
open champions, 8 and 4. before a wet
and bedraggled gallery In a thirty-six
hole professional match at the Garden
City Golf Club yesterday. Although
they met a pair capable of defeating
them now and then. Abe and George.
day In and day out. probably make the
strongest best ball combination to be
found anywhere. Barnes and Hutchi-
son, who have had several samples Of
their gams since last July. can vouch
for this statement.
Despite the weather the pair from
overseas worked in a best ball of 60 and
II for 140. figures rarely seen over this
layout, recognized for so many years as
among the best In America. The use or
the words, despite the weather. may.
atter all. be superfluous, for 1t Is doubt.
ful II mortal man could have accom-
plished more under any conditions than
Mitchell did yesterday. To reel off
H-only stroke above par-in a driving
gale OF mist and rain, as Mitchell did
IN the afternoon, while standing for
remarkable performance still further
goes to stamp golf not only as a game
TOT all ages. but for practically all con-
ditions.
one reason why Duncan and Mitchell
prove SO formidable a team is that
George. almost always dependable, en-
courages Abe to go for everything with
out having to worry. consequently when
Mitchell slips into one of his happy
scoring veins there's nothing to il. He
was at his best yesterday.
On the other hand, neither of the op
posing players was in anything like top
form. Barnes throughout the day had
q q tendency TO sky his drives, and then
he was as apt as not to be too strony
on the second shot. In the afternoon
Jim picked up at the tenth and thir-
teenth holes. which were approximated
in each.

sweetser Gets Into Trouble.

In the afternoon Sweetser lost two
holes in the first three-the second and
third. The latter Is a short one, but
Jess got into trouble and took five for
it. The fourth was weak half in 5, but
there was good golf on the next three.
particularly by Sweetser. who had
brides on the fifth and sixth and par
3 on the seventh. The New York star
won only one of these, the sixth. On
the eighth he was only 2 up again with
n s. but he cleared the first nine UP. a
giving him the turning hole.
Inward Sweetser won the tenth hole
and then lost the next two. each to par
figures a FIVE was good enough to
make Jess 3 up again on the 56S yard
thirteenth and two holes beyond this he
closed his days work, qualifying for the
third round by and 3.
Bob Gardner's fighting heart helped
him in his match with Tom Armour, the
Scottish star. for Bob was down at the
end of the morning round The former
champion did not play any too well In
that morning round. nor for that matter
did Armour. At best 1t was only a good
Scrap with feature here and there.
On the first Gardner laid his second
dead to beat par. and at the ninth he
made It two under par by holing n
mashie chip from the right hand corner
Of the green.
Armour was 1 up On the first nine.
Toward tho end OF the round Gardner's
game became ragged and Tommie ran
3 in a row, beginning with the fifteenth
Gardner would have rome into the club
house with this lead but for the fact
that on the home green the Chicagoan
holed nice twelve foot putt for 3.
Where Armocr lost his chance was on
the third hole In the afternoon. He had
held the fighting Gardner to two halves
on the opening holes. but on the third.
after laying his tee shot within fifteen
feet. he missed the cup twice, allowing
Gardner to get nalf after being short.
At the fourth Armour was short with
his second, while Gardner holed five
foot putt. This went to Gardner. OF
course. and the Ch!cagoan picked up
the next two as WELL taking the lead.
A beautiful tee shot within yard OF
the cup for Gardner squared the match
on the short seventh. Then Armour lost
the eighth and ninth. the former to a
poor and the latter to "a good 4.
Beginning the inward journey Gard
ner raised his lead to up when Ar
mour missed putt of about eighteen
inches. The overseas player was now
In desperate plight and he was as good
as beaten when he lost the thirteenth

his own doom by slicng out OF bounds

FEATHERING ONES NEST.
BY e. w. GiIIes.

The time to feather ones nest, is
when one has something to feather it
with. =
The rainy day, as we call it, is sure
to come.
1t may came in the form of sick
ness, or something else, at any time;
and, it will surely come in the form
of old age, if one lives long enough
If you are simply earning money
and spending. it, that is an awful
thing.
Mr.. Blank earned from $1OO to $2Oe
per month for dozen years, and then
lost his job in the midst of fnan.
cial depression. In the meantime the
money had gone to the bow vows
and, now, with a wife and two babies
on his hands, and no job, and ne
money, he was in a bad fix. ....
l hope to encourage you to put one
tenth of your income in savings
bank as permanent reserve fund.
l hope to encourage you to get a
home of your own, on the installment
plan, if necessary, but get a home of
your own. VI
Thus, with your own home and
with your savings bank account in
creasing from week to week, you will
have something to GO on in case of
reverses, and something to live on
when old age overtakes you.

NOT A MAGMA cARTA

We are sorry to notice that some
colored man has written an article in
which he says that President Hard
ing's Birmingham speech is "Magna
Charta Of Negro rights" Evidently
the gentleman, like President Harding
has not thought the question through.
Instead Of being great charter of
liberties, it is really a curse hurled at
the colored people from which it will
take a thousand years to recover.
We have gathered together and re-
print in this issue many columns of
comment on the Presidents Southern
speeches and we recommend that the
people who have been disposed to
swallow the discourses in toto, should
read the articles carefully and learn
Of the dangers which lurk in the
Presidents utterances.

JIM CROW LEADERS.

We present in this issue a sympo-
SUM of views Of colored editors in
various parts of the country on the
speeches of President Harding in Bir-
mingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga.
One of the strongest of these is an
editorial from the Richmond (Va.)
Planet, by that fearless journalist,
John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the
desire Of President Harding to have
more NEGRO" leaders developed, The
Planet says: .--.
THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS
KIND OF LEADERS. DR.. BOOK
Err T. WASHINGTON DID HIS
PART IN DEVELOPING THIS
KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT
Err YEARS HE REALIZED THAT
HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE
EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE
PRINCIPLES OF M HOOD,
WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN
RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. ~
This is a strong statement yet it is
absolutely true: No single thing in
the history of the colored people in
the United States has done so much
to prevent the full attainment of citi-
zenship as that speech of Booker
Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ca.
in 1895.

THIRTY-EIGHT LYNcHED While
CONGRESS DEBATES ANTI "
LYNCH BILL. -

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth Ave-, New York, has made pub
lie statement to the effect that since
the introduction Of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill in Congress on April
II, 1921, there had been 38 persons
murdered by mobs in the United
States, of whom two Were burned,
four bodies being publicly burned
after lynching. One of those lynched
was a colored woman. Three were
white men.
Since the Dyer bill was favorably
reported by the Committee on the
Judiciary, on October 81, 1921, there
have been seven lynchings, one body
being publicly burned, in Helena, Ark
Among the causes assigned for
these lynchings are the following:
. 1. A colored man called to inquire
Of white girl why she had not re-
piled to a note he had written her
He was lynched for this offense.
2. An old man was accused of as
sisting a man to escape.
8. Two colored men were lynched
for aiding third to escape.
4. One colored woman was thrown
from a bridge and drowned for as
sisting a colored man to escape.
Georgia leads in the list Of lynch.
ings since the Dyer bill was intro
duced, having had 10. Mississippi is
second with 7, South Carolina third
with 5; Louisiana fourth, with 4, and
Arkansas and Texas each have 3.
From the above everyone may read
lily see the urgent necessity of writ
ing to. the state Representatives in
Congress urging their support for the
early passage of the bill.

DEATH OF ABDUL BAHIA.

A cable from Haifa Syria, an
nounced the death in that city of
Abdul BAHIA Abbas, one Of the great
est men Of the day and the leader of
the Bahaist movement.
Abdul BAHIA, "servant of God,"
travelled through the United States in
1912 and visited St. Paul among other
places. He was the guest Of the large
congregation of Bahaists in Chicago
the latter part of April and early in
May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedi-
Gated the site at the Sheridan road
bridge in Wilmette, suburb of Chi
cago, where the Bahaists are now
building temple costing several mil
lions Of dollars, to be the world CEN
ter Of Bahaism.
Abdul BAHIA was born in Teheran,
Persia. He was the successor of the
Bah, "gateway Of knowledge who
began about 1914 ,proclaiming
throughout Islam the coming Of a
messenger of God and made much
headway until executed at the age of
81. The noble father of Abdul BAHIA
was Mira Hossein Ali of Nour, a
disciple Of the Bah.
Father and son were banished in
1868 to Akka, a prison city in Syria.
Forty years later the Young Turks
overthrow the despotic regime in Con-
stantinople, and Abdul BAHIA was
freed.
The death of Abdul BAHIA will be
mourned by millions of his CORE
ligionists all over the world and it is
now claimed that there is at least
50,000,000 of them, who practice as
we'll as preach that "of one blood God
made all nations" ~ ~
There are many thousands of COL
ored people in the United States who
have left orthodox Christianity and
have become Bahaists because of hy-
procrisy Of the so-called Christians on
the color question.
The Appeal., 1921-12-24

Since. then the descent to hell has
been swift and sure and the depths
were sounded when the other day,
Warren G. Harding, President Of the
United States, stood by the side of
the Grady monument in Atlanta, pro-
nounced a eulogy on Henry w.
Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and
insidious enemy Of the colored people
that the country has produced, de-
clared that the race question must be
settled by the segregation Of Ameri-
can citizens.
Lured on by the enthusiastic recep-
tion by the South Of the B. Washing
ton speech and the white mans
good negro" pat on the shoulder, the
jimcrow leaders tribe has increased
so enormously that it is now men
ace to be reckoned with in every COM
munity in which there are a hundred
colored men.
Before he died Booker Washington
repented in bitterness what he haG
done and longed for life to wash ou,
his unwise course but it was too late
Although it may be news to many, il
is fact that after his death an ar.
ticle, written by him, was printed ir
a leading magazine, in which he re.
pudiated segregation which he had sc
long championed. -
No greater calamity could befal
the colored people than the harvest.
