(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Philadelphia, Pa, March 14.-Phila-
delphia has set the pace by being the
birthplace OF eastern organized color
ed baseball. This is really due to the
sterling efforts, and reliability of Edw
BOlden. 1t is the consensus of opinion
that no other manager Of color could
have called such powerful aggrega

concrete organization holding the
guiding hand through constitutional
Tits, and emerging as head with every
body satisfied pledged to work untir-
ingly for the success of the Mutual AS
sociatiOn of Eastern colored baseball
clubs.
For nineteen years Bolden has been
clerk in the Central Post Office in
Philadelphia. The past fifteen years
has seen him hold an efficiency record
for case examinations and floor work
unsurpassed and seldom eau1 lied.
Without neglecting Uncle Sam he
sacrificed time and energy enough 70
