On Our Press Agents "
Team, The Good SignOr
Wins Quarterback Post
By BILL CORUM

~ ~@A'
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Speak-
ing Of press agents, as intend
to do, the all-time quarterback
of this columns all-time sport
press agents eleven is that now
slightly rotund field general, the
Signor Francis Albertanti.
Like most press agents who
are worth their salt, Signor AL
bertanti. began as a newspaper
man. Back in the days before
the late Frank MunSey arrived
at the conclusion that there
were too many newspapers in
New York City and that in the
interest Of that greatly over.

them all up into one. the signor
labored and kughe6. on the old
Evening Mail.
Fortunately for those of us
who look on newspaper work as
the finest and most satisfying
work there is, Mr.: Munsey nev.
er realized his ambition Of q
single one-man newspaper. That
other genius of Capitalization
and efficiency who overtakeS US
all. overlook Mr.. MunSey, leav-
ing the newspaper field reduced,
though not to the vanishing
point.
Not before, however. the Mail
had gone its way and its staff
had gone in different directions.
At least some members of that
staff have never had any cause
to regret it's dissolution. o. o.
Mcintyre went onward and up
ward until he sat in the honey
seat at the top of his chosen
field. Bayard Weller (spelling
not guaranteed) became sue
cessful playwright.
Reaps Rich Harvest
Grantland Rice continued to
reap a rich harvest as a sports
commentator. F P A, II. as
I believe, he was also a member
of that staff Il was not in New
York in those days and it is all
hearsay with me) surely he has
had no cause for complaint;
And the Signor Albertantl had
become one of the best known,
best liked, and best Of sports
publicity fraternity.

the other afternoon to pay Fran

naturally we fell to talking

wondered out loud why the Irish
had faded so rapidly and so al
most completely, and the signor
ratified off such an impressive
roll call of old time Celt bat
tiers that I stopped him.
"Why don't you .put that on
paper?" 1 said to him, "and one
of these days I'll print it,"
He said he would, did, and
here it is. If he should chance
to mention a young fellow
named Eddie Cool. who fights
in the Garden Friday night. and
an old fellow named Mickey
Walker, who probably will fight
in the Garden soon. Well, I

This is the signor talking
from now on:
Years ago in this town it was

chianti flows on Mulberry Bend
and gefultefish is the last word
in delicacies on Delaney Street,
the IriSherS ruled with an iron
hand. Today there's only a
handful left.

so suddenly and why, nobody
seems to know. But, oh, for an

Celtic ringmen as John Law

Nonpareil Jack Dempsey, Peter

Sullivan!
And before them the tradi-
tional hero, John c. Heenan, and
there was also John MorriSsey,
Jim Dunno, Mike O'Toole, Paddy
Ryan, and Jake Kilraln.
Today you can name the good
Irish fighters on the fingers Of
one hand, and that goes for
other sports, too.
The fighting Irish of Notre
Dame? Name one. Italians,
Poles and Slavs are the best foot
ball players, and as for the
diamond, gone are the King
Kelleys, the Jennings and NC
GraWS.
Rule Roost Now
All that is left Of the Irish
from a pugilistic standpoint are
Jimmy McLarnin, the ancient
Mickey Walker, James J. Brad
dock and a kid named Eddie
Cool, of Philadelphia.
Cool may be headed for the
lightweight throne. He holds
decisions over such good boys
as Johnny Jadick, Tony Falco.
Lew Massey, frankie Klick,
Buster Brown, Young Firpo, AL
Roth and Eddie Ran, among
others. Must mention that he
is matched with the German
Teddy Oder in one of our four
star ten-rounders at Madison
Square Garden Friday night?
You don't have to turn back
the pages of your boxing record
so far to find the time when
the harps ruled nearly every
division, whereas today only
one-McLarnin-iS at the top
of his particular heap.
The German Baer is boss Of
the heavies Cor if you prefer to
call Baer Jewish okay, he GER
tainly is not Irish which is our
only consideration at this time).
A boy, Olin, a Jew, is the new
light heavyweight king, Teddy
Yarosz, a Pole, is the middle
weight champ.
Barney Ross, another Hebrew,

Freddie Miller, a German, are
the feather crown bearers,

is best of the flyweights.
So with McLarnin winding
up his ball of yarn, it's high
time for Cool to come on, lest
the Irish be shut out alto
gether. And, I may add that I
have high hopes that Cool will
come on. Eddie is not over
looking any bets. He's picked

On Tuesday he returned with
two friends to the Floridian Fish
Dock with a catch of five sailfish,
10 bonito, two barracuda, two
jack and a mackerel.
With that as a reminder, it
won't be long before he goes
down again. Get it one time
and the desire to return lasts
forever. We have been doing it
for the past Is years and still
at it. Try it. Less than a day
by train and only six hours by
air. New York anglers have a
habit of going for the weekend
on what Eastern Air Lines call
their Fishermens Special.
Fishing is at it's best at Miami
now. The waters near the
Venetian Causeway are good for
snook during the night with
blues and snapper in the day.
Large Mackerel
Around Dinner Key in the
lower bay section you will get
large mackerel, blues and some
trout. The outside waters near
Everglades are alive with blue
fish and mackerel.
Today and tomorrow Baltimore
holds at the Emerson Hotel, the
first annual Statewide Maryland
Outdoor Life Convention. There
will be plenty to interest every
lover of the outdoors. Everyone
is invited.
Arrangements have been made
through Mrs. Eileen Seaman,
member of the executive conven-
ton committee, to entertain all
the ladies at afternoon tea at
the Baltimore Country Club while
the men are enjoying the old
fashioned oyster roast and the
contests at the Oriole Gun Club.
Many ladies are expected to
attend as there are a number
of subjects to be discussed in
which they are very much in
terested.
Early trial of two men arrested
in Louisiana for shooting 1870
coots and two ducks out Of season,
is expected by the Bureau of
Biological Survey. The case is
now in the hands of the United
States district attorney for trial
in the Federal court.
The men were arrested near
Raceland on october q and iden-
titled as market gunners. After
spending two days in Jail they
were released on bond pending
the setting of date for trial.
The hunting season for water
fowl, coot and snipe in Louisiana
did not open until November 2
and ends on January 6 at sunset.
During this time shooting is per-
mitted three days a week, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
Louisiana has real fish and
game laws and sees that they are
lived up to. We have the laws in
this section but we believe that
they should be more rlgidly en-
forced, particularly in regards to
our fast-dwindling ducks.
Killed at Night
All last winter along the Memo.
rial Highway, because of the ice
that kept them from getting to
their food supply, these ducks were
fed by day and killed with sticks
by poachers at night. We hope
the new importations with which
Reaches Run has been stocked will
fare better during the coming
winter.
They have been coming into the
blinds fairly good since the season
opened two weeks ago. Some can
vasbacks have been taken, al.
though it is rather early for them.

Legal Action

DOCTOR CHARLES THOMP-
SON Of the Howard University
Department of Education knocked
the nail squareiy on the head when
he advised colored citizens to use
the courts more in an effort to OBJ
tain their rights.
This newspaper believes in pro-
test and agitation. Those are eff
fective weapons in preventing col
ored people from becoming unable
to determine what are their rights.
But protest is not enough. The
Anglo Saxon takes PECULIAR
pride in the justice of his courts.
There are some judges and courts
so corrupt that under no circum-
stances win they give a square
deal But by and lares the Amer
lean courts are fair. When case
is properly presented and it is inn
possible to dodge the issue on a le-
gal technicality courts usually rem
der a fair decision according to the
law.
1t behooves colored Americans,
therefore, to use the courts more
frequently.

FOR HIS MONEY.

FULTON, Mo. (ANP)-One Of

recorded in Galloway County. IN
which Billy "slick" Howe. q Ne
gro farm hand was mistreated In
an effort to make him tell where
his money was hidden is laid by To-
cal officials to gangsters of st.
Louis.
Three men who tortured Howe
in an effort to compel him to give
them $500 were chased through
hills and hollows by farmers who
were attracted to Howe's cabin by
his pitiful cries. The men, in their
haste, had to abandon their auto
mobile, which bore a st. Louis Il
cense tag. They took 81 from
Howe when he told them that was
all he had.
The st. Louis gangsters are be-
heyed to be the same men who
robbed and tortured Howe on June
20 and robbed him of $40o which
he had sewed in his clothing.
Howe had several teeth knocked
cut, his head was badly lacerated,
his left arm was gashed in several
places and fractured, his feet were
burned and he suffered bruises all
over his body.
Not long ago Howe lost $500 in
a failed bank. This and the rob-
berries have taken his life savings.
His condition was reported as ser
ious.

10000 HARLEM
FAMILIES ARE ON
WELFARE ROLLS

NEW YORK - More than one
fourth of all the Manhattan famil-
les under the care of the Elmer
.gencx Home Relief Bureau here
are residents of Harlem and about
80 per cent of the entire Manhat-
tan relief appropriation is expend-
ed for their welfare, according to
Mildred Gordon, assistant director
of relief and head of the relief sta
ton at IA West 124th ST., last Sun
day.
In the nine months from Octo-
Der 1, 1888, to July 1, 1884, the
number of colored Harlem families
furnished with relief increased TO
approximately 10000, an increase
of about 80 per cent. Manhattan
families under Home Relief care
in June totaled 72,45S.
In that same month $2,855, $3.50
was spent for Home Relief in Man
haitian, $755, 900, or about 80 per
cent of the entire sum, going for
Harlem relief.
The Harlem district in question
includes parts of the three police
precincts whose headquarters are
the East 12sth St., West 123rd st.
and the West 135th street stations.
This section, according to Asst. Di-
rector Gordon, has unquestionably
serious and important problems, of
which the neighborhood should be
informed.
Declaring that disbursement
of an amount like $2,655, 948.80 per
month requires an adequate and
efficient administrative staff to in
sure proper spending and to pro-
tect the taxpayer, the assistant dl-
rector said that a continued effort
is being made to add on colored
relief workers.

Holden said, disclose that Harlem
is more than so percent unemploy-

crime of every description"
Harlem could be improved so po-
verify and unemployment and its
resultant criminality would be il
minated, Holden pointed out, if
the city got rid of the slums of
this section.
