its little waistcoat. You can have
one for every day Of the week

waistcoats are also worn, made OF

Their Death Not in Vain

Probably the most disastrous Arctic
expedition in history was that of Sir
John Franklin of the British navy.
OF the 129 confident and courageous
explorers who sailed with him from
England in the summer of 1916, not
one returned. Yet this attempt to dis.
cover a route to the Pacific cannot
be branded as failure, for while the
adventures who set forth so hope
fully in the Erebus and Terror
persisted wretchedly a few years
later, disaster and death did not over
take them until they had achieved the
main object of their voyage-the dis
covery of channel Of communication
from Baffin bay to Boring strait. Thus
did Franklin's volunteers realize the
centuries-old dream of European
navigators-the finding of a north
west passage. They were conquer
ors, even in death.-Dearborn indie

WOMEN'S CLUBS PLEA IS
FUTILE; BOY WILL DIE
(Preston News Service)

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 17.-For
the second time within a fortnight
the Cleveland Federated Colored
Women's clubs Thursday presented
an 11th-hour plea to Governor Don
ahey to save Emmanuel Ross, Cleve-
lands boy slayer, from going to his
death in the electric chair Friday
night.
Mrs. Lethia Fleming, wife of the
councilman, and president of the
Cleveland Federated Colored Wom-
ems clubs, sought recommendation
from Common Pleas Judge Waller
Mcmahon to the governor to save
Ross. Mcmahon refused, declaring
he had no course other than to follow
the recommendation of the jury that
found Ross guilty of numbering Isl
dore Steech, grocer.
Mrs. Fleming went to Columbus to
seek the Communication for Ross to a
life sentence. Governor Donahey,
following a refusal by Mcmahon to
reopen the case here, already has
declared he would not save Ross.

YOUNG SINGER DRAWS
PRAISE FROM CRITICS

Pittsburgh. Pa, Sept. 17.-Ralph
E. Banks, brother of Miss Ruth
Banks, the accomplished pianist, has
received considerable praise from
local white musical critics through
the white press. Burt McMurtie,
writing in the Pittsburgh Press, calls
Banks "Pittsburgh's Hayes" Nc
Banks is a young singer, a for
mer pupil of McClurg Miller, under
whom he learned the first essentials
of good singing. Following his work
with Miller he went to New York,
where he studied with Charles Tam
me. He possesses a tenor voice of
rich, warm quality, a tone that is at
once lovely and entirely masculine.
There is Imagination in his reading
and color to his singing.
"The singer leaves this fall for
Italy, where he will spend the next
two years in study. One feels that
Banks will do much to increase the
respect that Hayes has already raised
to such high degree toward the
seriousness of the Negro voice."

CAREER OF RUDE FOSTER
ENDS IN INSTITUTION
(COntinued from page 1


cago. 1t will be remembered that
last year Mr.. Foster, while in Indi-
annapolis with his club, was severely
gassed in bathroom where he was
stopping at that time due to a
leak in the gas pipe of hot water
heater. He suffered very much from
this adventure and it is thought that
the effects Of this experience, coupled
with the many worries of his ball
club and the business of the league,
caused his breakdown.
Fought Way Upwards From Ranks.
The rise of Andrew "Rube'' Fos-
ter in the baseball world reads like
work of fiction. Born in Calvert,
Texas, Al years ago, RUDE adopted
baseball as his life work and made
steady progress until he reached the
uppermost crest of the peak. He
started out in baseball as pitcher and
in short time he had reputation
of being the best in the U. S. A.
The late Frank C. Leland brought
Andrew to Chicago in 1901 to pitch
for the Leland Giants. He pitched
for Leland for two months and new
er lost a game. He left Chicago aft
er this and finished the season in
Michigan with a white club without
suffering a defeat. The next season
found Foster in New York with the
Cuban Giants under E. B. Lamar.
RUDE lost his first game in New York
14-0. He knew something was
wrong with him or the club. He
thought it over a while and the next
time he went to the mound they had
new catcher. With his new catch
er he ran up string of A wins in a
row. He was never defeated in any
championship games and retired
from pitching having lost but six
games in twenty-four years to col
ored clubs.
Organized Giants and Later League.
RUDE started forging ahead in a
big way in Chicago in 1911 when
he organized the now famous Ameri-
can Giants baseball club and by
bringing to bear his knowledge of
the game from all angles he soon
had the club going in great style
and known from coast to coast. 1t
was the first club to create a desire
in the fans to have other clubs of
this type formed into a league.
Mr.. Foster added the final jewel
to his crown when in February, 1919,
he founded the Negro National
league at Kansas City, Mo-, along
with the late c. I. Taylor and others.
At the time of the organization of the
league there were only three colored
ball clubs in America on a salary
basis, which combined did not equal
100000 annually.

Strictly speaking, there are no

simply system of marking certain

plan was worked out by the federal
bureau of good roads, but the mark
