Negro Candidates
Enter Primaries

st. LOUIS Mo-, June 30.-Colored
candidates for the August primaries
are more numerous this year than at
any time in the history of the city,
and they are aspiring for some fairly
representative places. This has come
to pass in the past in the house of
their friends, and have learned the sad
lesson that it is possible to trust poll
ticians too blindly. Among the more
prominent candidates are Charles Tur-
pin and Langston Harrison for Consta-
BILE; Walthall Moore for State Repre-
sentative and DIR. G. H. Powell for
Committeeman of the Sixth Ward. 1t
is expected the colored voters will
black most of them solidly, and as
their districts are heavy Negro sec
tions, number of good men ought to
be nominated. The Negro is beginning
to do like others-take what he wants.

Senate Judiciary
Committee Votes to
Report Out Dyer
Bill

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People today
announced at its national office, 20
Fifth Avenue, the receipt OF informa-
ton from Washington, d. c., from its
National Secretary, James Weldon
Johnson, that an agreement has been
reached by the Senate Committee on
the judiciary to vote out the Dyer
anti-lynching bill, which has been be-
fore this committee of the Senate ever
since it passed the House of Repre-
sentatives on January %. Mr.. John
son went to Washington on Wednes-
day, June %. to work for favorable
action on the bill upon receipt of n
wire from the Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee that the committee
would act on the Dyer bill on June
Doth.
The bill in its present form is fun
damentally in the same form as passed
by the House. The committee adopted
a proposal by Senator Cummins de-
signed to meet some of the objections
made to the constitutionality of the
bill. The amendment requires n state
ment in Federal indictments against
those alleged to have participated in
lynchingS, that the state in which the
lynchings took place failed to give the
victim the required constitutional pro-
lection. 1t is the opinion of supporters
of the measure that the amendment
will give the bill added strength.
In commenting on the action of the
Judiciary Committee, Walter F. White,
Assistant Secretary, said:
"The action of the Judiciary Com
mittee gives a definite answer to those
persons, both white and colored, who
have declared that the bill would never
be reported out of the judiciary Com
mittee and it shows what organized
effort will do. We must now work
with greater vigor than ever before.
Every interested person should tele-
graph or write his senator today 70
work and vote for the bill. The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People appeals for
united support that the Dyer anti
lynching bill may soon become law"

Williams Jubilee Singers
Denver Auditorium, Tuesday
Night, July II

They're coming back again! Den
ver's favorite Colored vocalists, the
world-famous Williams Jubilee Sing
ers On this, their seventh visit to
Denver, they will appear one night
only, in concert, at the Auditorium
Tuesday evening, July IL.
There is IA marvellous potency and
fascinating appeal in the true AFRO
American songs, from the primitive
folk songs, lullabies, plantation melo-
dies, river and boat songs, with their
plaintive minor harmonies, to the
rousing camp meeting songs and fer
vid spirituals. Because they. echo the
joys and sorrows of a people they
touch the hearts poignantly, and in
their lighter moods and in the care
free Darky comics they set toes to
tapping and shoulders to swaying
with their matchless rythm.
- Dvorak, the great composer, knew
the beauty and artistic merit of these
songs and embodied them in several
of his American-created compositions.
Musical critics everywhere have de-
clared the Williams Jubilee Singers
to be the finest interpreters of Afro
American harmony. Each member of
the company is Il star in his or her
own right and has added to inherent
native musical talent, the study and
training that has made him or her Il
finished artist. Certainly no group of
Colonel singers has the national and
international renown and the peren-
nial popularity today possessed by the
Williams organization. For twenty
years nearly they have been delighting
American audiences and they have
toured England, Scotland, Wales, Bel
GUM, Germany and France. In Lon
don alone they gave 13O performances,
appearing in all the principal theaters,
including the Coliseum. While abroad
all received additional training under
Miss Ida Aldridge, early teacher of
Jenny Lind and one of the greatest
vocal masters abroad.
In the company this year are Robert
S. Killebrew, lyric tenor; Charles p.
Williams, second tenor and singing
comedian; J. II. Johnson, baritone and
musical director; J. S. Crabbe, the
peoples favorite Negro basso; Vir-
ginia Greene, prima donna and one of
Dixie's sweetest singers; Julia Mac
Wilkerson, soprano, with voice ad-
mirably adapted for the lullabies and
ballads included in the company S
repertoire; Hattie Il. Johnson, the
talented accompanist who also has a
rich mezzo-soprano voice, and Inez l..
McAlister, Pueblo, Colo, girl with a
remarkable contralto voice.
All members of the company have
been educated in some of Americas
best schools, including Fisk University
at Nashville, the school that intro
duced the original Jubilee Singers.
Mr. Killebrew was Il sergeant in the
A. e. f. and participated in several of
the hardest engagements of the Meuse-
Argonne offensive.
Tuesday nights program will in
clude jubilee songs, plantation songs,
Negro melodies and lullabies, Negro
comics, cabin and river songs, camp
meeting and sacred songs, sentimental
songs and ballads, and classical and
operatic selections. The concert will
start at :15 o'clock.
Seats are now selling at Knight
Campbell's and, beginning Monday
will be on sale also at the Auditorium
box office.

F0RDHAM TEAM
PREPAREOFOR
MAJOR GAMES
Maroon's Light Eleven to Face
Some Of Toughest Grid Ma
chimes in East.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-Having
passed through the seasoning stage
in its game with Canisius, Rutgers
and Boston College, the Fordham
University football team is pre-.
pared TO defend against some of
the best teams Of the East the
reputation II has made for itself.
The eleven promises results which
IL fulfilled will be a great improve
ment on last years attainments.
Last fall a squad OF seventy men,
a wealth OF football material. was
poorly developed and was able to
win but as many games as were
lost. the total Of victories amount
ing to three. An odd game with
Boston College ended in scoreless
tie.
During the winter radical
change was made in the control Of
athletics at Fordham. Charlie Brick.
ley. football mentor, was discharged
and Artie Devlin. ex-Giant, was
signed as scout by the Boston
Braves. To Frank GarGan. Ford.
ham 10. who was all-AmeriCan end
in 1909. was assigned the graduate
managership of athletics. Gargan
secured Billy keane as baseball
guide and he himself assumed the
role of football coach.
The football team has already
shown the results Of Gargan's lead
ership. A victory was gained over
Canisius College by the score of
13 to 0. Next a more formidable
opponent, one whose eleven should
cut quite a swath in Eastern col
legiate football circles, was en-.
countered in Rutgers. The Jersey
men. who outweighed the Ford
hamites twenty-five pounds to
man. finally won by the close score
of 20 to Is. Foster Sanfords s sys.
TEN, which calls for no signals. but
for whispered conferences to de-
termine succeeding plays. discon.
certed the New York team no lit
tie. However, had not an untimely
tumble given Rutgers her first
touchdown. the result might have
been vastly different.
Fordham's showing thus far this
season has excited much favorable
comment. 1t is one of the lightest
elevens in the East. The backfield
is exceedingly light. having an aver.
age weight of II pounds. McDon-
ough, left halfback, tips the scale
at exactly las pounds.

Higgins Predicament.
MILLER HUGGINS has

A'A KEGS for another year, which
puts him in a strange predica-
ment.
Right off the reel the wee man.
ager must drive that gang of
swell-headed athletes. II he gets
off on the wrong foot, every New
Yorker will be on his back. He
cannot afford to hesitate a second
in impressing the public with the
fact that he is the manager and
in control Of the championship
club of the American League.
Many New Workers. have decided
to "lay off" the Yankees simply
because Huggins has again signed
to manage the team. They have
seen how things went with those
prima donnas in the past. They
have no faith whatever in Hug
gins as leader.
1t was well known around the
league last year that there were
at least five managers in the
ranks. The year before ill-advised
friends suggested Roger Peckin-
paugh so loudly as a successor to
Huggins that Roger, who probably
never was in the scheme whatever,
found himself traded to the Yam
kee farm in Boston.
Fights started before the Yanks
left their training camp. Carl
Mays was fined 5000 on the train
ing trip. Waite Hoyt, fresh
youth, had a fist fight with Hug
gins on the Yankee bench in New
York. Babe Ruth was heavily
fined for not keeping in training.
Next spring the same players
are likely to find themselves under
the direction Of the same manager.
Huggins' troubles will be worse
next year than they were last. He
may report in the spring as leader
of the champions, but many wise
ones believe he will decide that his
health is not good enough to per-
nit his remaining in major league
baseball. Then New York fans
will cheer loudly, for nobody up
there thinks Higgins worth a
plugged nickel as a leader of
athletes.
The Washington times., 1922-10-17

The Cincinnati eleven, not
having possession of the ball as
much as Georgetown, was penal
lied but four times, though a fifth
penalty might have been inflicted
but for the sportsmanship Of the
Hilltoppers, who declined half the
distance to the Cincinnati goal
line when Right End Prather was
banished for kicking Paul Flor
ence in the fact deliberately.
Three times Cincinnati was
found offside and once they were
holding, making a total Of thirty
yards lost on penalties.
Offside play usually results
from overanxiousness, the desire
of a player to leap into the fray.
1t is usually caused by dragging
quarterbacks. Some quarterbacks
are positively impossible because
of their method Of barking their
signals. They set nervous fellows
by the ears, resulting in offSide
play and loss Of distance.
Loss of fifteen yards for hold
ing usually comes from too great
a wish on the part of forwards to
provide interference for their
backs. There is much blocking
that verges close on holding. 1t
is this which all capable referees
are watching for at all times.
Penalties are unwelcome at all
times, but they are most unwel-
come when they come close to the
opponents goal line. They halt
the advance of the ball. Ere
quently they cause an entire
change of play, resulting in fail
ure to score.
The most common penalties are
those for offside play and holding.
They are indicative of a fast,
aggressive team. Interference
with the receiver of a forward
pass occasionally brings it's pun
ishment, but that is not so common
as holding and offside play.
The Georgetown team shows all
the signs Of a well-coached football
team, but offside and holding
comes to the best-coached elevens.
All the coaches in the world can't
hold some young fellow tugging at
the leash as the quarterback howls
his numerals.
