KID POLITE MAKES HIT IN KAYO
WIN OVER ESPENSO

LOS ANGELES-Richard "Kid"
Polite, 1875, New Orleans Colored ban
tamweight, made a profound impress
sion on the boxing fans here Tuesday
night at the Olympic Stadium when
he stopped Gene Espenoso, 129, Phil
Pine, in four frames of torrid milling.
The bout was scheduled to travel ten
rounds. The game and rugged little
Espenoso had little chance against the
fast-moving New Orleans battler, who
launched a furious leather attack
against the Filipino in the first round
that had the fans fairly humming at
his style of consistent milling. The
sepia fighter had Espenoso holding on
at the end of the first stanza, admins
tering savage body attack in the
third and fourth frames. The New
Orleans leather-tosser came here with
brilliant racord earned in Southern
rings.

DOLLY KING IN THRILLING DASH
AS LIU WINS, 1912

TOLEDO, Ohio = The glue-like
hands of fiashy Dolly King, Long
Island University's shifty Colored left
end, oozed LIU to a one-point victory
of 1912, over the University of
Toledo before 1000 fans Saturday.
Taking the ball on their own 20 after
a Toledo punt had rolled over the goal,
the Blackbirds arrived at their AT
yard line after a gruelling pace.
There on fourth down, Bob Trocular
zooned a long aerial to King, on the
Toledo 20. King had too much speed
for Captain Francis Maher, Rocket
safety man, shaking him off success
fully as he dashed across the goal line.
Dick Craig in Rocket Lineup
Dick Craig, veteran Colored half
back, shot the Rockets into the lead
in the first stanza, when he scored on
the final play of the first half, turning
his own left end from the Long
Island 33.

CAL HOLMES FINDS 1T HARD TO
GET OPPONENTS

Cal Holmes, one of the most promis-
ing Colored welterweights of New
York State, is making Boston his
home for the winter. Holmes, a
clever boxer and terrific puncher, is
finding it particularly hard to obtain
bouts in his section. He has brilli-
ant record, having met and defeated
many of the country's leading welters,
among them George Martin, currently
rated as the best welterweight in New
England. The sepia star holds two
decisions over Martin. In his last APP
pearance in a New Bedford ring,
Holmes made Dem Wakerlis, sensa-
tional Greek welter, look like novice,
only to lost the verdict to the latter
after receiving a butt that opened
deep cash over his eye.

HUMBOLDT TIGERS HAND THE
LADY OF THE LORDS A LACING

A large crowd of ardent grid fans
saw the swift-moving Humboldt
Tigers overpower The Lady of the
Lord pigskinners, 60, in a heated
fracas at Franklin Park, Sunday
afternoon. The Ladies entered the
tilt confident that they could give the
Sugar Killers their first defeat of the
season, executing several plays that
had the later fairly bewildered the
early part of the first frame. Freddie
Saunders, Tigers, fullback, after
clever and powerful blocking by
Robinson, Corbin, and Glass carried
the oval up to his own 46. The Ladies
blocked Tigers kick, and recovered
on the Tigers "a. The Ladies picked
up first down on the Tigers 81. On
two spectacular end sweeps, Francis
Ahern, quarterback, did the scoring
for the Ladies. The Tigers made sub
situations, Coleman for N. Colbert; R.
T. Woodson for A. Glass. Glass
played one of the best games of his
career, and was persistent with power

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for mess Of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done SO. Many Of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe withinl

full lunges through the Ladies' lines,
stopping long gains. Billy "Killer"
Thomas, right halfback, checked the
Ladies' maneuvers with his blocking
and tackling tactics, stopping Ahern
in his tracks. The Ladies started to
move up the field in the fourth stanza,
with Nick Mazolla, doing most of the
carrying. The Tigers halted the
Ladies on the formers 35; here, Gene
Corbin ushered the oval to the Ladies'
81. after two sweeping runs. Frank
Johnson, Tigers, fiashy halfback,
moved the ball to the six-yard line on
an end sweep, but the Tigers lost the
pigskin on the second stripe. The
game eliminated with the Tigers in
possession of the oval in midfield.

 Adaptability
 One of the most important quaN- bility to modern homes. None of the sometimes cumbersome characteris- tics apparel 1t in some antique re- productions is evident in the Metro politan "Trutype' exhibition. The reason for this is that the reproduc- tions on display at the Mayfiower shop are carefully selected, copying only those famous pieces of antique furniture whose lines and qualities are beautiful in any age or period, piec $ whose beauty springs from their function.
 It is indisputable that the many people with an eye and taste for the genuine in furniture will remain more than favorably impressed by the beautiful exhibition that the Metropolitan Co. has so painstak- ingly assembled.

A sixteen room "Trutype House" i" featuring magnificent collection of early American reproductions in solid mahogany and maple, will be open to the public tonight at the Metropolitan Furniture company's Mayflower Colonial Shop, l56 Grand street, opposite the post office. The exhibition, one of the most beauti- ful and unique ever assembled in this vicinity, will run for three days, tonight, tomorrow night and Satur- day. from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock.
 The sixteen-room Colonial house is bull within the Mayfiower shop, the maple furniture occupying eight attractive rooms on the first floor, while the second floor is devoted to the mahogany display. To step in- side this house is to enter another world, so megically has the atmos- phere of another century been cap- tured by the skilllful artists of the Metropolitan Go.
 Colonial Variety
 Suites of every colonial variety, copied iron original antiques found in the eastern section of the United States, from New Hampshire to South Carolina, mainly up and down the Atlantic seaboard, are placed in perfec: settings. Such delicate ar tistry is evident in the beautiful settings that the exhibition is ri- umph even if one considers the in- terior decoration alone.
 The suites and individual pieces of furniture have been copied from very famous collections and from private homes. Some have gone from the workshops of such distinguished American designers as Savery of Philadelphia, Goddard of Rhode Isl- and, or Phyfe of New York. Some of the most interesting pieces from their reasonable cost as well as their artistic value, have been copied from antiques treasured through many generations in homes of old fam lilies.
