Open Field Running of West Reminds
One of Jim Thorpe, Famous
Indian

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. 90
SpcciaD-When Charles West, a
Washington and Jefferson back,
stepped off % yards for a touchdown
after taking a Syracuse kickoff in the
second hall OF the game played in the
Archbold Stadium on Saturday, Octo-
Der 20, of the present year, turning in
the longest journey of the year for a
touchdown, every spectator asked,
Who Is he, where did the Presidents
get a race horse like that" The great
throng OF Syracuse rooters sat stu
pcfed as the Wash-Jeff lad worked
his way down the field, and not until
he had chased across the final chalk
mark with his nearest pursuer far in
his wake did they rise to the occasion
and give the clever Negro lad the ova-
ton which he deserved.
The tale Of that touchdown Is worth
repeating. Washington and Jefferson
in the first half had kicked a field
goal from placement due to the
proves OF Captain Stein, all-American
tackle Then the Orange came back
with a similar tally and the score was
tic, 3 to B On the first kickoff
after the Syracuse field goal West
stood on the Washington and Jeifcr-
son hve-yard line and received the
leather As he caught the ball he
stepped back OF the two-yard line and
then began his sprint True, his com
rados took out" the opposing would
be taeklefs until but one remained.
West side=stcpped HIM and then flew
to the goal for his score. Later syria
eusc tied the score, but the Presidents
finally won the game by II to TO-
After that game they all wanted to
know about the colored youth who
had so distinguished himself Here IS
his football history IN brici.
West lives in Washington and IS a
product OF the Washington high
school which has turned out so many

Baseball Men

eggs for baseball magnates has been
a tough old bird, but its health is now
being threatened by apathy due to
Encouragement.
The Missing Link
And while the magnates themselves
are to be blamed for a whole lot of
dissatisfaction in baseball, the greed of
the players has gone a long ways
toward diverting progress in the
wrong direction. However, certain
facts cannot be discounted. We've
been developing the players, and they
have reached the highest state OF
efficiency they've ever attained. But
while we've been doing that we've
been making no effort to develop the
men to handle the administrative end
of baseball. That's been allowed just
to drift along and to take care of
itself And when you allow anything
simply to take care of itself you get
slipshod results.
What we need is to break in some
worthy men on the business end of
baseball. Give them responsibility and
let them acquire some ideas and when
they get the idea let us see that they
ct the chance to try them out. As
far as talent goes, we have no COM
plant with baseball, but we do need
new blood in the business end OF the
game.

and won plaudits for his wonderful
proves, standing out as the best
scholastic back in Western Pennsyl-
vania for several years. Then he en-
tered Washington and Jefferson, and
tried for the varsity. Like many stel-
lar preparatory school players West
did not shine so brightly in 1920 on A
college squad. He had bad habit OF
fumblinp. but he was injected into
many games and on several occasions
distinguished himself
As a football running back he much
resembles Jim Thorpe, the famous n

ripping tactics through would-be

avoid smashing the goose. We are not
presenting the Johnson case as that OF
the goose that laid the golden egg,
but we do contend on good authority
that his peculiar and selfish method OF
dealing with those who made his live
hhood possible is being used as dan
gcrous weapon in the fight against him.
It is true the laws of physiology
makes our contention appear indeed
small because Of his age. but we are
Of the opinion that Jack IS yet great
fighter and would undoubtedly make
the going anything but rosy Tor Mr..
Dempsey or any other fighter for that
matter, however do not, my dear read
crs. allow your minds to become use
lessly overtaxed with the thought OF
the results of an argument between
Dempsey and Johnson. for II we may
use the words of the song writer
johnson has had his chance, but it's
all over now"
Recently the writer CHANGED to over
hear a conversation in which sat a
prominent boxing official and someone
spoke of the tremendous harvest from
a probable Dempsey Johnson hight.
Now it was the statement of this very
official that started us to thinking his
comment being, well the promoter
who gets Johnson's end will undoubt-
eddy reap a harvest"
Now the world in general admires
the man who can successfully do
what our national leaders have failed
to do look after his own affairs and
gets what is honestly due him, but
there is little room left for those who
through selfshly glutton tactics make
the going hard for those who mean the
game well.
Moral: In order to demand fair
play one must be a fair player.

May Learn When It's Too Late

II
A serious warning is sounded for
Colored magnates by A. "Rube" Foster
in a series of articles running in many
of the larger papers of the States,
Gliding the men in control of the
game for what he considers an mex
cusable lack OF preparedness for prob
lens that seem certain to present
themselves before the season of 1922
is we'll under way.
There is much in what Foster says
that will appeal to the average man
who is interested in the welfare OF
baseball, however blind to conditions
the magnates may be. Colored profess
sional baseball promoters apparently
believe in no method of retrenchment
until necessary. When necessary it
will be too late, except by measures
that must be hastily devised and
which experience has shown. will
prove more costly than successful.
Fosters outburst gives some hope
that there will be some read justments
in Colored organized baseball next
season. If there are men in it who
are temperamentally unfit to guide its
destination, they should be gotten rid
of, if only for the sake of making the
game more profitable to those who are
fit. The goose that has laid the golden

DEFENDERS
MEET FIRST
DEFEAT
r. LNavn MIllIaIns


The Chicago Defenders met their
FIRST defeat this season on Monday,
January 2, at the Armory by the De
sofa Council (whitc) champions OF the
Central A. A. L. by the score OF 20
II. Though void OF anything that re-
sembled team work. the Desota boys
possessed a quintet OF stars whose in
dividual work outclassed the splendid
team work OF the Defenders Almost
at will, it seemed Desota Council boys
shot baskets from all over the floor.
SO dazzling and rapid was their play
that the many thousand spectators
wondered what would happen next.
They were easily as good on the de-
Tense; and even Captain Bluitt. whose
adeptness at dribbling has made him
favorite among the fans, was com
pletely cornered, so much so that he
often found himself where the ball
should have becn--on the floor. Never
theless. Butts sharp eve at foul
shooting added many OF the points
made by the Defenders
In spite Of their defeat Hubbard and
Rivers showed brilliantly. The Defend
crs although defeated were not demon
allied as the game had no bearing
upon the championship, which the De
tenders will undoubtedly capture be-
for the curtain is finally drawn for the
season. They are now down to hard
practice for the remaining games which
they should win with ease.

Regiment Armory the other night and
was attracted by a noise that sounded
like Uncle Sam making rush act to
sign another one of those Japanese

The first person to be seen on en-

son of the Geo. l.. Giles post of the
American Legion, who was all smiles
as he watched the clock like showing
of the team flying the colors of the

Something better yet:
The writer was told by an official
that the services of one of Chicago's
best tossers had also been secured,
however it was requested that the
name of this player be withheld for a
while 1t is understood that certain
well-known players are not in the very
best attitude toward their management
and would appreciate a change of seem

sport promoters to believe that Jack is
being driven from the fight game be-
cause he chose as his companion a
member OF another race or some other
outrageous question hinged upon racial

YOU ever stop to realize that the men

A football coach once worried over

an effort to give weight and size to
his team such as extra padding to

Poison In
Bonded Booze

CLEVELAND. Jan. 7.-Undertak-
ers will have prosperous year about
1926 in the opinion of analytic and
consulting chemists here-the victims
being prohibition liquor drinkers.
Hundreds of persons are slowly but
surely asphyxiating themselves, ac-
cording to J. M. Kovachy, assistant
city chemist, by unsuspcctfngiy as
similating the poisons found in almost
every sample of what was believed TO
be pure bonded liquor. Hundreds of
samples are brought to Kovachy each
month for analysis, he said, and all
thus far anayzed have contained high
percentage of fusel oil in the raw.
Fusel oil, Kovachy says, removes the
oxygen from the blood, causes the lips
and body to turn blue and has the
same effect as asphyXiation.
NJ. E. Curtis of the chemical labora-
tories advises drinkers to 'analyze well
before using" Traces of adu1teration
that clip year after year from life have
been found in almost every bottle OF
alleged bonded liquor, he asserted.
That bonded" whisky is being
grossly misrepresented by bootleggers
was revealed when a raid of printing
shop in the downtown section by fed
eral and police officials uncovered a
plant which is said to have been de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
of counterfeit labels and bottled-in-
bond revenue stamps.
Federal secret service operatives de-
clare that statements made by some OF
the six persons arrested in connection
with the raid indicate that $4,000 has
been cleared during the last year
through sales of the labels to bootleg
gers in Kansas City, New York, Chi
cago, Detroit and other cities.

the doctor in this that if he bungles
his case he may be able to correct his
error. The doctor generally cannot,
at least not when the patient is dead.
This thought is suggested by the ap-
pearance the other day before the
board of pardOns in Pennsylvania of a
lawyer, who made an eloquent plea in
behalf of a prisoner who is serving a
life sentence for murder. Eighteen
years ago the lawyer defended the
prisoner and he told the board that

he was green" and inexperienced and
