ATTITUDE IS
PUZZLE
Italian Athletes Fail to Under
stand Wild Leaper.s
Psychology

Italy boasts some marvellous ath-
Ietes. Some of our best fighters
come from the stock that is nur-
tured by the hot sun of the south.
Their representatives in other sports
have set high standards-Frigerio
Georgetti and hundreds of others.
They understand their own games,
and those that have been imported
for their pleasure from other lands.
But, apparently, they do not quite
grasp the psychology of such gen
tlemen as Steve Brodie, who made
his name famous by jumping off
the Brooklyn Bridge.
Just the other day. in Bergamon.
a shoemaker, ilnbued with the
Brodie spirit, made a bet that he
could jump 100 feet into u pool Of
water with an egg in each hand,
without either himself or the eggs
being injured.
He succeeded, but the authorities
clapped him in jail on the suspicion
Of being insane. "
This indicates q lack of humor
on the part of authorities. No one
arrests six-day bike riders, wrestlers
or prize fighters. Why should this
Brodiesque character Of Bergamon
be held in durance vile?

all. There are others, though not
so prominent. Ken Smith, Of Mont

against Yale in 1922. His young
brother is now at Yale. Then there
are the Stevensons-Bi who was
Princeton track captain in 1922, and

other brother, Don, is now at Yale.

Perched atop the National
Capital League heap, two games
ahead of the Belmonts, is the
Joseph Phillips Company team
whose high man has an average
of substantially the same pro-
portions as the Belmonts' weakest
pinshooter. Joe Toomey, Al
Works and Earl Lewis of the
PhiIlipsmen each is carrying a
mark of 113 and a fraction.
In point of individual aver
ages, the BelmOnts clearly out
class their rivals, yet, unless
welI-fOunded calculations are
amiss, the Belmonts will be
nOsed out in the National
Capital League pennant race.
How come the weaker team on
top? Bowling is as uncertain, in
that respect as baseball, but there
is a partial explanation in this
case. The Belmonts took over a
franchise deserted by a weaker
team early in the season and was
forced to overcome losses for
which they were not responsible.
A match tomorrow might may
settle the pennant scrap. The
Belmonts will meet the T. T..
Eeane team and should they drop
a game or two the jig will be
ur for the Joseph Phillips Com
pany bowlers have only one more
set and that with the T. T.
Keane bowlers who share last
place with the Linwoods and the
Nationals.
1t is unlikely that the Keane
team will stop the Phillips :
men. And even should the
BelmOnts whitewash the Keanes
tomorrow night, they still face
Q the LinwoOds, who with the
BeImonts, will finish the leagues
schedule a week from tomorrow.
Among the Belmonts' achieve
ments is a set of 1851 which
stands as a record for all time
in this city.

ment in that respect.
No one was requested to render any
financial support to it when it was
first started in this city until after il
had been running for one month, and
for the first six months after launch
ing it on the more than uncertain and
very dangerous sea of journalism, at
this port for be it remembered that
this city has been the graveyard for
more Colored newspapers, than any
other city in the world, for within the
past twenty-siX years more than so
newspapers have been brought forth
to the light OF day and the vast
majority Of them only breathed the
free air Of journalism las it were)
for a few years, months or weeks.
Then they gradually gave up the
ghost or ceased to exist, but during
all those years or from July Is, 1899,
down to the present time The Broad
AK has, like a well-oiled and well-reg-
ulated clock, in season and out of sea-
son, through hot or cold, rain or
bright sunshine, bravely surmounting
the adverse waves and the many OBJ
stacles which have from time to time
been unsuccessfully cast before it, like
the ever-fowing rivers, has continued
to run on and on.
What We started out to say was sim
ply this, that for the first six months
after starting the paper in this city,
in order to keep down our then small
printing bills and other expenses so as
to enable us to promptly meet all Of
our obligations. each Friday evening,
after the papers came from the press,
they would be tied up in a large bun

little home at 504O Armour avenue
In the meantime, the good, dutiful
and noble wife of our youth, Mrs.
Taylor, would address the few wrap
pers for its regular readers during
the week and after arriving home with
the papers she would make some paste
out of flour and water, then, after
eating a little dinner, we would pitch
in and fold the papers for our dear
life, while Mrs. Taylor would do the
wrapping and by half past 10 or IL
o clock we would have the papers
ready for the mail, and either late
that same evening or real early the
next morning, long before breakfast
time, we would wend our way with
the papers on our back to the State
street cars and climb on the front part
Of the old cable car, headed for the
main postoflce, which was then To-
Gated on the lake front at Madison
street.
Frequently we would return to our
humble little home on foot in order
to save carfare, but today, after firmly
waiving all pleasure aside for twenty
SIX years whenever any business has
been in sight, The Broad AK has
hundreds and hundreds of friends and
staunch supporters in all parts of this

SHORT REVIEW OF THE PAST
HISTORY OF THE BROAD AK
CHAPTER /.

L L l.
On this memorable date, Saturday
September Il. 1925, The Broad AK
completes its thirtieth year in the
journalistic world.
On August 81, 1895, it made its
first appearance in Salt Lake City
Utah, the fair or the beautiful city
OF Zion, which lies midway between
this great city and San Francisco
Calf, and its publication was con-
tinued in that far away western city
once each week, until June 4, 1899,
at which time its publication was dis
continued there and the writer
moved back to this great and won
derful city where we had resided for
seven years prior to 1895, and began
its publication in this city, (the fairest
of all the great cities for the colored
people to reside in.) July IS, 1899,
and from that time to the present,
which is twenty six long years, it has
made its appearance once each week
without missing one single issue,
which is a feat which has not been
accomplished so far by any other
newspaper published in the interest
of the Colored race within the walls
or within the history Of this great
and far-famed city.
1t also has the further honor and
distinction of being the only news

Did you ever hear Of two bath
rooms on the front porch?
Well, a fellow advertised that rs
one Of the attractions OF large two
story house. He didn't mean it OF
course, but that's exactly the way
his ad was worded.
It read like this:
Large front porch two bathrooms,
p big Colonial home with beautiful
grounds, $500 cash, terms to suit.
However, that's nothing compared
with what another enthusiastic real es-
tate owner wrote when he handed his

day.
Here's what he said:
Brand new four rooms and bath
with breakfast nook and four-piece
plumbing.
Think Of all that plumbing in

Isn't it funny, the things people put
Into classified ads. Hundreds and
hundreds of classified ads are written
every day for The Lights Classified
columns. Dozens Of funny express
sions, odd phrases and just plain, bum
Cling mistakes occur. Sometimes the
writer makes them, sometimes, in the
rush and hurry of getting out a daily

Editor knows that the Classified pages
of The Light abound in snappy humor,
real, clean fun. He wants to stimu-
late interest in finding and publish

object. They like IL. They sometimes
purposely put humor into their ads.
Some Of them have very happy way
Of writing Classified Ads.
What could be more fun than to
