M0ROCCANS ATTACK FRENCH
WITH KNIVES

Paris, Oct. 12.--While threatening
war clouds are gathering heavily in
the Near Eastern sky, where the
armies of British Imperialism are
attempting to block the patriotic
Turkish Nationalist army, lead by
Mustapha Renal, fresh from his vic
tories over the Greeks, news comes
from Northern Africa of a war of
another kind, in which Moroccan
Moustain tribes are valiantly fighting
with knives and chunks of rock
torn from their rugged hillsides
against troops armed with machine
guns, air bombs AMI all the latest
machinery of modern warfare with
which the French invading army is
armed.
In the wild, mountainous country,
heabily yelled with thick mists which
hamper observation and render areial
attack almost impossible, the French
have teen worsted in many fierce
hand to hand battles with the warlike
Chleus tribe. Only in the plains is
French control possible at the pres
ent time when all the country is
stirred by the news of the brilliant
victories of Mustapha Renal over
the troops OF Greece.
The situation in Morocco is typi-
cal of the situation in many other
French African colonies. The British
and French Foreign Offices are deeb-
ly concerned over the solidarity of
the Islamic World in whose ranks
are included the fiercest and bravest
of the tribes of Africa and Asia.

NATIONAL MICRO BASE BALL

RUDE FOSTER INTERVIEWED.
BY Chas. A. Starks.


Cor The Associated Negro Press.)
There are at least ten cities in
the country that may boast Of being
thriving baseball centers for the
clever pastime as played by Negroes.
Chicago, New York City, Detroit,
Indianapolis, Cleveland. Pittsburgh.
st. Louis and Kansas City, are in
cluded as members and associates.
Kansas City, however, ranks foremost
as beneficiary of Negro National
League Baseball. This town was
saved from dangerous lethargy
in the matter of some engaging
amusement or sport in 1920 by the
introduction of the League. At once
it was apparent to the Observant that
here was an institution. not only to
provide amusement of the progressive
sort, but was to provide great field
for the expression of athleticism by
Negro athletes upon the lucrative
basis Of industry and economy. Ger
tainly new and right for our peoble,
So we naturally think of league base
ball in these parts as wonderful
asset to the people. This is very
likely true of each Negro baseball
center 1t has given the race a
medium whereby it can express its
enthusiasm upon celebrities of the
race Heroism manifested and apprec-
lated within our own ranks has its
natural good, effect.

to the effect that if it berifies the
reports that Sikh is coming to the
United States under contract for
very large sums, neither he nor
the men to whom he is under con-
tract will be permitted to operate
in this state.
The commissions statement follows
There was filed at the office of
the state athletic commission today
a challenge, issued by Kid Norfolk
and supported by forfeit of 50. 500
for the light heavy weight champion
ship held by Battling Sikh This means
that If Sikh comes to this country.
it will be in line for him to dispose
of this challenge; first either to
accept or decline, and if it is true
that he is coming here under con-
tract for the very large sums that
have been mentioned in the news
bapers recently, neither he nor the
men to whom he is under contract
will be permitted to operate in this
state One of the rules in this COM
mission stipulates that all boxers in
main bouts must work on percent
age basis"
1t is reported that Sikh has been
offered $4,000 to fight Johnny Will
son, middle weight champion in
Braves Field, in Boston, on October
26th.
Jack johnson, former heavyweight
champion, is reported to have sent
a challenge to Sikh. Jack was hailed
into court in New York last Thursday
on account Of debt he owed Barney
Gerard, a theatrical producer for
seven years, The amount being $4,000
Johnson was asked to pay $1,000 on
account by Gerrard's council and
Johnson replied:
you follows ought to wait until
| tackle that man Sikh. He looks
just like the man | want to fight.
and when / get through I'll have
money enough TO pay you" Johnson
then announced that he was sending
challenge to Sikh.
Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, announ-
ced on Saturday that he was willing
to meet Sikh, any where for any
reasonable amount Of money.
Greb is the American Light Heavy
Weight champion.
What Jack Dempsey is most anx-
ious about is to have things so turn
out that Sikh will have to fight his
way up through the long list of
American contenders and then fin
ally to Harry Wills. By this means
contest between Wills and Dempsep
will be postponed for considerable
time. The continued Sailing of
Dempsey in reference to bout with
Harry Wills has gotten on the nerves
OF the sport writer's and practically
all the big white daily papers
throughout the country. Close obser-
vers of the tactics being used by
the various persons interested direct
ly in the fight game see clearly that
Dempsey desires to hold his title as
long as possible and he fully realizes
that he is no match for Harry Wills.
Colored people throughout the coun-
try are exceedingly proud Of the
conduct OF Harry Wills. He is quiet
sober, unassuming gentleman and
should he get chance with Dempsey
the championship would fall into
hands of man who would not act in
manner TO lisgrace the race. Wills
is fully aware of the existing condit-
ions between the races in this country
and make it a rule of his life to
do nothing to increase the difficulties
which now confront his race.

sell.
Occasionally Wills would land a
,stinger on his opponent. Johnson
was certainly willing to be saved
from the terrific pounding that was
coming tot him. Although Wits nevel
landedo a blow which would have
taken Johnson Off his feet in the
early stages Of the contest.
One ring-side fan said: eff Wills
was trying to win in rush, this fuss
about a Dempsey Wills fight seems
out of order. Harry showed awkward
judgement, by letting his man escape
whenever he had him dizzy and he
showed very poor aim in shooting
his fists at Johnsons head until the
knuckles popped, when he might have
touched Clementine on the button and
called it night as early as round 1.
Johnson is young, strong and
heavy, and that is all you can say
about him. Now, if 1t took Wills IL
rounds to stop Johnson, the only
question is how long would it take
Dempsey to send Wills back to the
docks.
This kind of propaganda is just
what Wills wants. Because it will
give Dempsey some confidence and
possibly will hasten an agreement
for a titular bout between himself
and Dempsey. Wills is patiently
waiting for an opportunity to meet
Dempsey and he is now. according
to those in the close circles, endeavor
oring to meet Dempsey's stalling
with another kind of stalling. The
battle on Wits part is to get
match with Dempsey; while ii is
the problem Of Dempsey to evade
meeting Wills.

PATRONIZE OUR OWN BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES TO HELP RACE.
(Preston News service)

Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 12.-There is
a great deal of talk amoung Negroes
all over the. country about the
necessity of patronizing race enter
prises. A great many of those who
do the most talking about this do
not always practice what they
preach. But they are contantly
find something to do; and they are
few opportunities for the trained
young man and woman of color to
finl something to do; and tire cos
stantly "cursing" out the white race
because they will not give Negroes
equal opportunities. There is moth
ing. then left for us to do but create
business of our own and make these
opportunities for our own people.
To do this we must patronize our
own race institutions. Anent this
phase of our life in America, Il. d.
Canady has the following to say
elitorially in Portland, (Oregon)
Advocate of which he is editor:
Eve were recently very much
interested in discussion we over
heard among number of our people
as to why they didn't patronize
colored businessmen One said his
reason for not patronizing our colorel
groceries We that once upon time q
colored merchant short changed him.
and from that time or he vowed he
would never trade with a colored
man. We wonder if some white mer-
chants hasn't cheated this man out
of more than did the colored business
man? However, it is interesting to
note that he dill not say he would
patronize another white businessman.
Another said: II wouldn't put my
money in a colored bank for any
consideration. When asked his reason.
he said, Now didn't the Freeman's
bank in Washington, D. C. go bok9
an a OF of core peope Dose their
money? And didn't John Mitchell's
bank in Washington, d. c. go broke
and lot of colored people loose teir
ated by whites which had been closed,
Perhaps this colored brother hadn't
heard of the number of banks oper-
ated whites which hal been closed
causing thousand of people to loose
their money. Right here in Portland
the State hank has recently gone
out of business, leaving many Of its
patrons in poor financial circrmstan-
ces. But no one has heard anysens!ble
person say that he would not denosit
any more money in white banks. This
same colored man. if he had any
money to deposit in bank. we
wager. would he found in the front
line in white hank.

SIKPS VICTORY In PARIS MAKES
DEMPSEY HAPPY.
(Preston News Service)

New York City, Oct. lin 1.-THE
present situation of affairs in pugi-
lism the ole thing to happen recently
to make Jack Dempsey happy was
the victory of Battling Sikh over
Georges Carpenter IN Paris last
Monday night. Dempsey had about
run to the end of his string of ex-
cuses for not meeting Harry Wills in
q title bout. Skis victory has given
Dempsey a new line of defense to
keep out of the ring with Wills for
some time at least, Excitement among
fight promoters Is at fever heat here
SOW and Sikh is the most talked of
man in the world today.
Accoring to latest dispatches from
Paris Sikh has accepted Tex Richards
terms to fight SON abody in NewYork
City on November 30th. Last Friday
night Richard announced that he had
definately, CONCLUDED arrangements
to import Battling Sikh. the Sene-
galese here for bout with some
body here on Thanksgiving Day.
Followers of the rugged game Ct
fistcuffs are specializing as to whom
Sikh will meet.
All that can be gotten from Rick
ard is that he does not know just
who will be Skis opponent, but
that he can assure all that it will
not to be "set up" He said, there
are three or four high class men
in the light heavy weight group In
this country and will select one of
these men after thte foreigner arrives
here.
Some are inclined to think that his
first opponent will lbe Harry Cred
of Pittsburgh, others contend that
he should meet Gibbons. or Miske,
and sill others contend that SKI
should meet Kid Norfolk first. In
fact Norfolk has deposited forfeit
of $4,000 binding a challenge to Sikh
and will be entitled to first consider.

BATTLING SIKS'S ACTION IN
RING LIKENED TO LEOPARD.

The physical makeup of Battling
Sikh has been likened to that Of
the leopard. In action his great
muscles play fascinatingly under a
copper skin; he is EXTREMITY fast
OF foot and is wont to make great
leaps when evading the punches of
an opponent This form is in strik-
isg contrast to the graceful Carpen-
tier whose foot movements is that
of the aesthetic dancer.
Sikh is typical of the brigades of
picked Sengalese soldiers brought to
the Western front during the world
war. Stalwart, possessed of great
strength and endurance, and an
irresistible foe when excite hecrouch-
es and bundles together his massive
muscled shoulders, much after the
fashion Of Jack Dempsey.
Grin Changes to Leer.
A broa grin, exposing the perfect
white teeth so typical OF the Negro,
lights up his face as he goes into
fistic combat. At times this grin
narrows until it becomes somewhat
of leer, perhaps intended to frigh-
ten an. adversary.
In all of his ring engagements in
France Sikh has been successful. But
in none of them prior to his bout
with Carpenter did he display any
terrific punching power. He knocked
out Harry Reeve, a. former light
heavyweight champion of England,
in the sixth round of a match in
Marseiles, and received the decision
over Marcel Niles in fifteen rounds
in Paris. After the latter bout
Carpenters manager, Francois De-
camps, who is credited as being a
shrewd judge Of fighting ability,
asserts that Sikh was suhch a poor
tighter that he would not permit of
Carpenters meeting him. Sikh also
outpointed Paul Journee. the lumber
ing French heavyweight. who bislted
the United States and helped to
train Carpenter for the fight in
which he met defeat at the hands of
Jack Dempsey. Journee twice was
defeated by heavyweights OF the
second class while in the United
States.
The success of the Sengalese pos
sibly will start talk of a match
between him an Harry Wills, the
American Negro heavyweight, who
is being groomed as a prospect for

THE TEAM WITH ~THE BIG PUNCH

Fortunately for Kansas City 1t has
a team composed Of topnotchers, who
always do crelit to the game. The
team is practically finishing second
in percentage of games won and lost
Up to date the ID. G. Monarchs have
won 40 games and lost 93, having
played so league games, with final
percentage of 59S. The Monarchs have
played 80 more games than the Ameri
can Giants, the League Leaders"
The American Giants boast of play
ing SO games, winning "a, losing Is.
with a percentage of 654. Now they
say that figures never lie, but these
do If you present them as a moral
test of playing strength of the two
teams. This condition is like sup
position in Batting Averages" where
Nc Nair is at bat Fifty times and
secure rs hits, gaining a percentage
of 500, while Torrenti is at bat only
4 times, gets hits, but also must
be credited with a percentage of 500.
SO well and good for that. 1t is
worth whole lot to know that Negro
baseball is improving in quality
each year, in time it will be the best
The MOnarchs, then, are advanced
here, not from a merely pertisan
angle, but as strong type Of an
aggregation of players possible under
the league. AS compared with the
American Giants, known for great
inside" playing; Detroit. of the same
school, with the added power of
young smuggling huskies: and with
the superlative in batting along with
a certain oriental Sharpness as seen
in mchine-like precision the Monarchs
show up AMI stack up in splendid
order.
The Monarchs summed up briefly
represent a team that has reached
the superlatibe in batting along with
as good feeling and pitching as the
league affords, this constitutes The
Big Punch.
WHAT'S The Natter With The League!
The league is alright If it will con-
tinue to progress. We are only three
seasons old, yet we have made some
rapid strides along several angles
which go to make up League Baseball
The fans. however, express a decided
lLlpdlISHN0 anu .sotNeTe CTlllClon Oh
the way the league is being conduct
ed. The concensns of opinion seems
to be that Mr.. Foster, the president
of the league is conducting the or
ganization soley for his own interest.
This opinion argues that the League
Schedule Is entirely too flexible in
Mr.. Fosters hands, claiming that as
manipulated it works havoic with all
other teams. This opinion further
points out the A. B. C.'s play over
the American Giants, and corrupt AMI
partial umpiring at Chicago handed
out to the visiting team. These are
the things the fans allege regarding
League management. The fan, after
all, is the chief consideration when
playing baseball is in question, and
he therefore has right to interest
himself in certain matters pertaining
to the League.
