Sam McVey, Famous
Negro Boxer, Dead

New York, Dec 23.-Sam McVey,
Negro heavyweight pugilist, died today
in local hospital, victim of pneu-
monia.
McVey, one of the most formidable
of Negro heavyweights during his ring
career was born in California in 1885.
Standing close to six feet in height
and weighing 200 pounds, he possessed
terrific punching power, more than
the average boxing skill and ability to
take heavy punishment without falter-
ing. His first appearance as serious
heavyweights contender was in 1902,
when he fought two twenty-round con-
tests with Jack Johnson, later worlds
champion, losing both bouts on deci-
sions.
In the years that followed, he met
all of the Negro heavyweight contend
ers and number of white heavy
able for the number of bouts with
Sam Langford. During the decade be-
ginning in 1911, McVey and Langford
fought more than dozen contests
ranging from short nO-decisiOn bouts
to twenty-rOund encounters. These
were staged in all parts of the world,
from Australia to South America.
Langford was the victor in majority
of the battles.
Recently, Mcvey had appeared in
the role of trainer and sparring part
ner for Negro and white heavyweights
training for important contests. De-
spite his thirty-siX years, he retained
his boxing skill and hitting powers,
and always was in demand in this ca
pacity.

The vehicle through which Bert

comedy productions in that Williams is
the only colored member of the organ

any other stage, can produce better

connection il is well to bear in mind
that whatever other sins the South
may be called to bear when it comes
to business, pure and simple, it is in
the South that the Negro is given
mans chance in the commercial world,
and in nothing is this exposition more
eloquent than in emphasizing this
chance. Our greatest danger is that
in the great leap from slavery to@free
dom we may overlook the fact that the
masses of us are to live by the pro-
ductions of our hands, and fail to keep
in mind that we are to prosper In pro-
portion as we learn to dignity and
glorify common labor. and put hEaiHsl
and skill into the common occupations
of life; we shall prosper in proportion
as we learn TO draw the line between
the superficial and the substantial, the
ornamental gewgaws of life and the
useful. No race can prosper till it
learns that there is as much dignity in
tilling field as in writing IL poem.
1t is at the bottom of life we must
begin, and not at the top.

ances to overshadow our opportun-
tiles.

say to my own race, Cast down your
busket where you are Cast it down |
among the eight millions of Negroes
whose habits you know, whose fidelity |
of love you have tested in days when
to have proved trecherous meant the
ruin of your firesides.
Cast down your bucket among |
these people who have without strikes
and labor wars, titled your fields,
cleared your forests, builded your rail
roads and cities, and brought forth
treasures from the bowels of the earth
and helped make possible the magnifi-
cent representation of the progress of
the South. Cast down your bucket
among my people, help and encourage
them as you are doing on these
grounds, and added to education of
head, hand and heart, you will find
that they will buy your surplus land,
make blossom the waste places in your
fields, and run your factories.
"While doing this, you can be sure
in the future, as in the past, that you
and your families will be surrounded
by the most patient, faithful, law-abid-
ing, and unresenting people that the
world has seen. AS we have proved
our loyalty to you in the past, in
nursing your children, watching by the
sick-beds of your mothers and fathers.
and often following them with tear
dimmed eyes to their graves, we shall
stand by you with devotion that no
foreigner can approach, ready to lay
down our lives, if need be, in defense
of yours, interlacing our Industrial,
commercial civil and religious life
with yours in way that shall make
the interests of both races one. In all
things that are purely social we can
be as separate as the fingers, yet one
as the hands in all things essential TO

CANNOT HOARD TIME

IN A certain time you can make a
certain amount OF money. You can
put the money away for years later,
but YOU can't put the time away.
Money, called by the economists
frozen labor, might also be called
frozen time.
But time is more than money. 1t can
be turned into many things that can be
stored away-education. cultivated
taste. pleasant and profitable memo
ries. But time Itself you cannot
hoard You must use IL as il passes,
or it is gone forever.
Time spent in recreation is not
wasted. unless you spend more than a
due allowance for recreation.
But time spent in absolute idleneSs,
or in activities that are worse than
idle, is sheer criminal waste.
If you could go back over your life
and gather back the hours that have
never been improved, you would still
have enough time to do great things.
But those hours are gone.
You can only. as Shakespeare says.
regret your dear times waste" and re
solve 10 waste less of il In the future.
Many men whose time had never
been turned to account until they were
past forty have stlll had enough left t.
accomplish great things in the world
But these are the most sincere
mourners for the years that might
have been utilized
If you will begin today to bear H.
mind that time cannot be boarded. and
If every hour of IL Is converted in.
to something that can be boarded, you
may lay the foundation for a furtune.
You will certainly lay the foundation
for happiness by and by.
Count your hours. and allot each one
to some task or to some profitable
recreation. See that none of them slip
by. They are as water through a mill,
which if sent over the wheel creates
valuable energy, but which spilled over
the dam Is gone forever.
