SHADOWS LONG
 AS MOOSE WIN THINNING GO
Elks Defeated in Thriller, 5-to-4, by Black
 Sox on Errors
RESULTS YESTERDAY Moose 5, Elks 4 (eleven in nings).

Long were the shadows at Base ball Park last night when, in the eleventh inning of a scheduled seven-inning contest did the Moose score the deciding run in 5-to-4 decision.
 Mark Jensen, the veteran, was pitching for the Elks. He had been the victim of hard luck in the seventh, when three errors by team mates aided in blowing two-run lead as the Moose tied the count at fall to send the tilt into extra innings.
 In the last of the eleventh, with darkness rapidly approaching, Jen- sen got by the first two men. Then, tall Dave Turner, who had been relieved of the Moose pitching bur den in the sixth by Claude Erskine, strode to the plate. He swung at one, then rammed a rattler against the foot of the right-field fence for a triple. Bill Ryan, the next man up, drew a walk.
 Curly Boobies
 Roger Stevenson was next. He hit foul; strike was called on him; then a ball. The next pitch, Stevenson hit directly at Curly Liv- ingston, the Elks' cool third base man. But, in making the play, Liv- ingston fell over backwards. It went into the score book as an error-and Jensen and the Elks had lost another tough one as Turner raced home with the winning tally
 The losers were ahead, 4to-2, go- ing into the last half of the sev- enth. But, with the bases loaded due to two errors and Stevensons single-and one away, c. H. (Big Mac MacSpadden, as cool a play CT as Livingston ordinarily, sudden ly fired the ball from his catcher's box to third base in an attempt to catch a runner. The throw was W&iOt diko III SdillC OllC llC tying score followed after Stan Grummett rifieG a clean single to left, scoring Jack Schmitz.
 Jensen hurled nice game, and deserved a better fate. Usually a curve-ball pitcher, he apparently has been working on control this season, for he was driving hard, fast one, right down the alley and getting by with it in fine shape. He whiffed seven, walked three, and allowed but two earned runs, while his teammates were collect ing three.
 Turner Hits
 The hitter TOT the day was Tur- ner. The former Anchorage lad spanked three for five, including his triple, and drove in one run. However, Erskine received credit for the pitching victory.

IMPORTS OF RUSSIAN
COAL ARE PROTESTED
Anthracite Operators and Union
Officials Ask Roosevelt to
Increase Duty.

Protesting against the amount OF
Russian anthracite coal being shipped
into this country, delegation of ON
GERS of the Anthracite Coal Operators
and union officials urged President
Roosevelt yesterday to increase the
duty from 81 per ton, the present
rate, to IS per ton.
The delegation declared the present
duty has proved inadequate because Of
the large increase in importation Of
Russian coal.
The delegation said afterward the
President would take the request un-
der consideration. 1t had been sug-
gested by the coal operators that this
increase might be effected by invoking
the anti-dumping regulations of the
Treasury Department.

BIG EVENTS HELP US

Clear through it's near quarter
century CT public. service THE CHI
CAGO WORLD has committed itself
primarily toward the general adj
vancement of the great mid-southside
district of Chicago 7. a city within
city where more than 100000
Colored Americans live and try to
make a living. It can be said without
any successful denial that every
phase Of human activity which has
been conducive to the economic, So
cial and civic development has been
strongly advocated by this newspa-
per regardless of the time, effort and
money expended toward this one end.
Unlike many Of the years gone by,
1885 has already offered two distinct
events which have given great in
spiration to this community and a.
long with other minor events, the
people in this area have been made
happy and also have been brought to
the realization that this territory
CAN be made great place to live
and an undisputed integral part Of
the city's general progress as the
greatest metropolitan district in the
world. We deem the Louis-Levinsky
fight and the East-West game as the
two great events, which aside from
being major entertainments, were in
spring to the extent that our pos
sibilities as racial group capable of
progressing has crystalized itself in
front of our eyes as well as in the
eyes Of our neighbors.
Slightly more than two months
from now there will be another big
event in our midst which will draw
people from many states in the nation
to the southside. Hotels and other
business places of the district will a.
gain be damned with people who will
willingly spend plenty Of money
More people will be employed for a
time, at least. Alumni and friends
OF two of our greatest educational
institutions will again exchange
greetings, and over a glass Of ale or
in the strictesr state Of sobriety will
proclaim to us the dwellers of |
Chicago's great southside, that this

An Observer Sees Need For A
Colored Police Captain

The information has been out for
weeks that on January LIST Of next
year several police captains will be
retired from service. Among them are
SO the information says, Captains
John Prendergast, Michael Hughes,
Shoes Shoemaker, William D. Rus
sell and Lieut. William Blaul, all white
men and all with an exceeding a.
mount Of fairness to our racial group
here in the southside section of the
city. Our policemen from Lieuts.
John A. Scott and William D. Middle
ton down to the patrolmen have all
done police work with these men and
in many instances helped to estab-
lish them as great leaders. Now that
the time when there will be some
captaincy vacancies in the police de-
partment is eminent, it seems expe
dent to many Of the districts fore
most citizens that we have Colored
police captain ir command of at least
one of the three stations in the dis
trict, if not all of them.
Why We Want 1t
Close observers, in response to
those who are always accusing others
Of wanting to start something are
asking these same people, who seem
to think there is not a need for a
Colored police captain, to take little
walk some night, particularly in the
fifth district and there are scant
places which bear close observance in
the Fourth district.
On any hot or cold evening, those
who are not informed about their own
district as they should be, are asked
to walk down Michigan avenue from
47th street On the east side Of the
street slowly to 18th street, turn east
on 46th and journey to Calumet ave-
nue.. Then walk south on Calumet
avenue to 48th street, and see what
you can see. Later on in the same
evening stand at the southeast cor
ner of 55th and State street for a mo-
ment and then walk east on 55th
street to South Parkway and return
On the north side of 55th street to
Michigan avenue.
Winks Pass Along
During this journey many squad
cars will have passed. They must
have seen the same ladies Of the
evening which you could not help but
have seen, but from the openess Of
the soliciting the police must blink
their eyes at the girls as the girls
wink theirs at the white motorists

ROSS D, BROWN IS
STILL FIGHTING
FOR HIS PEOPLE
By B. THOMPSON

The southside boasts Of many uni
que and colorful people in several
walks of life, but the, most outstand-
ing from the standpoint of doing a
great good for all classes who them
selves stop for a moment and listen
to his eloquent and glowing speeches
based upon the proposition that all
citizens of color should be loyal to
each other, is Ross D. Brown, noted
speaker who has specialized in reach
ing the great mid-southside masses
by stumping the important corners OF
this section of the city.
Brown made a contraption with his
own hands which far out.d the age
cid soap box or any other kind Of box.
When it folds up into compact form
not being larger than an ordinary
suitcase, one wonders in a peculiar
sort Of an awe how he could make
such a fine speaking platform. How
ever, it is said that Mr.. Brown made
two or three Of these contrivances be-
fore any of them suited him exactly.
Stresses Race Loyalty
It will be recalled that Mr.. Brown
has been an advocate of race loyalty
for many years, and most Chicagoans
who have been here dozen years or
more all know him as an orator OF
no mean ability and one who is able
q drive home his point to his ever

and white pedestrians.

anu WnlCo pedestrians.
One need not be reformer to re-
sent this sort of a condition, especially
when It continues until some weak
white fellow reports TO the police
that he twas just talking to Color
ed woman on the street, and when he
walked away he missed his money.
When this happens, the Gid" falls
off, is pushed off by some big ward
heller or something, anyhow it is off
again and the same things take
place over an over again
We know colored policemen and
Colored prostitutes don't get along at
all. Ii ever two groups hated each
other, it is these two. So if we had
Colored police captain, more Colored
plain clothesmen, and some assigned
to this specific violation, the decent
public would be sure to get the
break which has long been coming
to them while the police and the girls
have their little wrangle.
1t is the opinion of many southside
residents who don't like to be pushed
off the streets by this element and
threatened with bodily harm by the
'pimps' because they resent such
scenes as take place EVERY night,
especially at the above named locali-
ties that a Colored police captain
could alleviate matters and that he
would be extremely hard for the I'M
derworld to bargain with.

BIGEVENTS HELP us

community MUST be the best place
for big events or we would not have
so many of them. Exchange of ideas
between us and our friends and re-
latives from other parts Of the coun-
try, and a probable silent comparison
Of how each is living will most as
suredly give rise to greater urge on
cur part to keep building and to keep
thinking HOW, through our own in
telligence and effort, to maintain
what other people think Of us and to
carry on to even greater heights.
Heretofore the Tuskegee- Wilber-
force football game has been played
in Soldier Field in the loop, with the
exception of one time when Mills
Stadium was selected fifteen miles
away. THE CHICAco WORLD be-
iieves that the southside should have
this game above everything else. No
sound argument can be advanced that
we don't need it, nor thai there is not
adequate accommodations for such a
game.
This newspaper places particular
stress on matters Of this kind because
the management believes that thru
all of the color and drama attached
tc such events, amidst our praise for
the conquering heroes and pity for
the vanquished there appears What
something close to each Of our hearts
which will inspire every individual of
US to WANT to do something, that we
MUST do something outstanding in
the Business world, in the sport world,
il. SOME LINE. Hence we shall be
on our way to greater comfort, we
will be busy and shall have less fear
Of the plight Of our posterity.
Big events help US. The right kind
Of mass interest is what we want and
it is what we should constantly fight
for. When the masses meet for any
occasion, it indicates that something
is going to happen. Mass meetings Of
the nature we have had in our midst
in the past few weeks and the one
which is to follow where we can see
our exact condition and our friends
from elsewhere are the kind out of
which progress may be obtained.

day night that the weather permits.
Aside from this corner he can be
heard at intervals at 47th and Forest
vile, 43rd and Prairie and other busy
intersections.
Possessed of perfect enunciation
and unique knowledge Of English, Mr.
Brown has more than once swayed a
street corner audience to the extent
that in the trade centers in that dis
trict the next day, the result Of his
talk was clearly shown by the num-
bers Of people or lack thereof in plac-
es spoken of in his speech the evening
before.
He was one Of the malnstays in the
Chicago Whip job fight of q few
years ago, and it was at this time he
won particular admiration of thous-
ands of colored citizens when he went
about his duties fearlessly regardless
Of the many threats Of bodily harm
which were made.
A Real Man
By his actions, appearance and by
his speech, Ross Brown is known as
an individual very capable of taking
good care of himself. Judging from
the great amount of time he devotes
practically for nothing and for the
benefit of his people, no one can say
he is selfish or that he is seeking
en- easy living. There are thousands
Of the same opinion as this newspap-
