SAY TAC0MANS APPROVE FIGHT AGAINST BOARD
Black and Tan Blackhawks To Defend
Title Against Highly Rated Knights
BY Al Smith

On Sunday, september 20, at z
p. M, the 1888 edition of Black
hawks will be out fighting for the
second championship. This will
be tough season for the boys, for
the battle cry of the Community
League is Beat the Blackhawks."
The Blackhawks are virtually on
the spot by all the teams with
most of the teams picking up many
new players, and the Knights of
Columbus and Italians getting new
coaches.
The probable starting backfield
will be that same pony backfield
of last year, composed of Bruce,
Allen, Perkins, and Height, with
Singing" Jack Tanner trading
off. Tanner will see much action
this year as he has shown great
promise in practice.
On ends we may find ra-gy r.
ME Lewis, that sensational pass
snatcher from last year, who was
responsible for many of the teams
victories. Frank "Doghouse" Hou-
ston, who may be either end or
guard, the smallest man on the
squad, and the toughest. Dog
house" is dynamite to the opposing
lines. Watch this lad closely SUM-
day.
At center will be a new player,
Arlen Wilson, standing six feet one
inch and weighing close to 200
pounds. The two centers of last
year will be missed very much.
They were Jack Doozier and Bert
Allen, who are out of town.
The guard and tackle positions
are not certain as there is a hot
battle for these positions, but Rog-
er Robinson and Joe Station of last
year will probably be in one of
these positions.
Many new players will grace the
Black and Tan squad, notably,
Willie Skillet" Stockard, speedy
backfield ace, also Rex Rector,
halfback. Also new line men:
Chubby Simmons, Harry Earls,
Brady Watts, Hank Allen, Charlie
Winston and yours truly, "Snoop"
Al Smith.
Lost for the first part of the sea-
son, Otis "Playboy" Reese, who
fractured his collar bone in prac-
tice. He will be missed very much
for he would have been in the
starting lineup.
Fans, if you remember last year
when the boys won the champion
ship, one of the biggest crowds of
colored fans ever to attend a sport
ing event in Seattle were present.
The Blacl1hawks have another fine
team, this is your community team,
support it by being out Sunday to
cheer the boys to victory.
The Blackhawks again offer you
thrills, drama, excitement, color,
and a wide-open style of football
which has made them one of the
most popular teams in the North
west.

Mrs. Kate Drake, well known ci-
tizen of the Northwest, died We'd
nesday morning at Harborview
hospital, from complications. Mrs.
Drake had been ailing for several
years but her active life belied the
seriousness of her condition.
The community has suffered a
severe loss in the death of Mrs.
Drake, who was one of the most
active and militant of persons
whenever some pertinent issue was
involved. She never failed to be
present and would always arise
and give voice to her opinions
which were noted for their sage
advice.
Mrs. Drake was the widow of

What Are They Doing?

Washington, ID. c.: Washington
is such a quiet and peaceful city
in comparison to New York. l
like it here. People have taken
time and pains to have lawns and
shrubbery and otherwise beautify
their dwellings. They have num-
erous well managed Negro bust
nesses also, well thought of and
patronized by the community. I
would like to see Dr. Andrew King
established here. The young peo-
pie on the street were not bois-
ferrous but poised and well be-
haved wonder of the work of
the thousand teachers here does
not have a great deal to do with
this happy condition.
Howard University with it's corps
of professors and asso ciatcs have
deal of influence on the cultural
life of the community as well as
the professional people and gov
eminent employee. am told that
one-third of the employed Negro
community are in government SER
vice. Some one said to me, "In
New York it is what you have,
but in Washington it is what you
are"
I did not see any former Seat
tleites in Washington, for Bonita
Harvey had not yet returned but
among Washington's first families
I found very dear friend of Mrs.
James Ralston; DR.. Parker broth
err of Mrs. Candace Black is on
the Howard University faculty.
You know of course that Miss
Harvey is working in the Bureau
of Census. Mrs. Dean S. Hart has
a cousin who is very gracious and
kind.
Pittsburgh: The Smokey City"
built on a number of hills, is
withal very friendly city. The
steep inclines and beautiful views
seem to have their effect on the
good nature of the people. At
least those that I met through
Reverend and Mrs. H. B. Can't
were altogether charming and in
teresting persons. Reverend CAN'T
is Pastor of historic Bethel Church
with a membership of 1900. Dur
ing my stay all of them we met
were begging their pastor to re-
turn for another year. Confer
ence is now being held in Wash
ington and Reverend and Mrs.
Can't have many influential
friends outside of the church who
want to see him remain.
Pioneer residents of Seattle will
be happy to know that met Wal
ter Merguson. Mr.. Merguson left
Seattle in 1906. He spent II years
in France, and now is the for
eign correspondent for the Pitts
burgh Courier. 1 also met ]. D.
Champion Phi. G., a Pharmacist
of National repute. He sent
message to his sister Mrs. How
ard D. Brown. Others I hored to
see but did not have their adj
dress.
The Pittsburgh Urban League is
one of the finest institutions Of
it's kind in the country. They have
established unit system that COW
ers the entire city. Pittsburgh's
topography is such that one CEN
trail meeting place would not be
well attended because of the diff
ficulty of going from one section
to another. The league here in
Detroit has many wealthy con-
tributors.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, May IA
Commodity prices strengthened moder-
ately during the second week ending

vance marked the first rise after nearly
two months of declining prices. Out

changed from the previous weeks level.
The industrial index declined moder-
ately, as strength in hides and leather,

more than offset by weakness in the

coarse textiles and vegetable oils.
The agricultural group strengthened

The advance in the livestock group
was attributable solely to higher cat

The hides and leather index
strengthened moderately as slightly

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Commodity
prices, under the leadership Of farm
products, staged the sharpest rally
since last summer this week.
Grains, livestock, cotton and food
scored the widest advances. Indus
trial staples, on the other hand, were
mixed, increases balancing declines.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale spot COM
modities rose to 6667 per cent of
the 1926 average this week from 66 90
week ago and compared with 9l29
last year.
The reversal of the long slump in
staple quotations resulted largely
from reports by field representatives of
dealers that yields per acre might
be lower than currently figured on.
Taken as Bullish Signal.
This, of course, would mean some
curtailment in the final harvest, and
therefore was taken as bullish
signal by some analysts.
The snap-up from last weeks four
year low carried wheat, oats, rye. cot
ton, hogs, and cattle substantially
higher. Moderate losses were chalked
up by corn and lambs.
Mar ket-basket items also rose. Eggs
cocoa. flour and lard, for example,
moved up while sugar and butter
fell back.
Industrial raw materials experienced
little of the bouyancy noted among
agricultural staples. Textiles slipped
back as wool and silk moved con-
urary to the upward trend.
Others Are Mixed.
Other commodities in this category
were mixed, zinc, bituminous coal and

PRICES DEPRESSED

Dealers Maintain Attitude

on Crop Exports.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 14-Prices for new
wheat slumped fractions today in a
slow grain market, with most dealers
maintaining an attitude of watchful
waiting pending crop and export trade
developments.
In the absence of outside interest,
the market was quiet and dull. Broad
enough commercial and speculative
participation to give the pit its GUS
tomary whirl of activity has appeared
infrequently in recent weeks.
Trade factors followed the routine
pattern. Wheat belt precipitation and
declines of u to % at Liverpool in
the face of yesterdays late upturn
here held buying in check. July and
September contracts, which can be
satisfied by delivery of new winter
grain, sagged as much as rs cents at
the opening, and despite frequent
rallies. showed little recovery power.
May wheat. however, which represents
old crop grain, was 81 cents higher at
one time and closed practically un-
changed.
At the final bell wheat was un-
changed to q cent lower compared
