Republican Representative George

ment of the Everett Colored Citizens
League in his candidacy for Attorney
General of Massachusetts. After care
full consideration of the field of can
didates for this important office the
League, which is non-partisan and a
leading civic and political influence

the steps of another youthful Massa-
chusetts public servant, Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, Jr., as Republican
leader.
George w. Roberts is no stranger
to the colored people of Massachu-
setts. For ten years he has repres-
ented them and represented them well.

ODD FELLOWS
Meet IN PHILA.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The semi
annual meeting of the Committee of
Management, Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows in America and Jurisdic-
ton, was held in Headquarters Build
ing, Philadelphia, Pa, the week of July
8-13. The daily sessions were pre-
sided over by Grand Master Edward
H. Morris, of Chicago.
Among the matters adjudicated was
that of District Grand Lodge, No. Al,
jurisdiction of Puerto Rico, which had
been pending for some time. This
jurisdiction sought to have its status
changed from that of district grand
lodge to a subcommittee of manage
ment." whereby it would acquire an
autonomy different from that of the
several grand districts of the North
American Continent and those in
Africa, Panama, and the West Indies.
In the opinion written by Grand
Master Morris and fully concurred in
by his colleagues-it was pointed out
that the unity, power, might, and
strength of the Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows in America and Jurisdic-
tion consist largely in the fact that it
has one executive head and one legis-
lative body. A dual head would beget
conflict of authority that would bode
no good for the Orders future. So, in
the interest of harmony, peace, and
undivided authority, and with the
ardent desire that the Order should
grow and prosper, it was decided not
to grant such autonomy.
Grand Master Edward H. Morris
will deliver an address at the Chicago,
Ill. Exposition, on the occasion of "Odd
Fellows Day." which is to be celebra-
ted Wednesday, August 7.

replied by saying that the matter was
up to the members of Peoples Church,
and after the presiding elder put the
matter before the people they voted
unanimously that Rev. Fuller should
not be released and that they would
accept no other pastor. So I defy any
body to deny the truthfulness of the
above statement, for I have the court
decisions and other documents in my
possession to verify what I have said,
and which | shall be very glad to let
anyone review if there is the least doubt
about the truthfulness of the above

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Barring an
upset of the most startling variety
the Chicago Bears and Washington
Redskins will play for the national
professional football championship
next month in the Nations Capital.
Each has one victory to go to
clinch play-off berth, unless their
closest pursuers lose a game. But
the luck of the schedule pits the
Bears against the Chicago Cardinals,
Western cellar team, in next Sum-
days finale while the Redskins meet
Philadelphia the same day. The
Eagles have lost nine straight games.
Bears in Track Meet.
The Bears warmed up yesterday
for the important task ahead by
stepping briskly through a track
meet against Cleveland, winning. Al
to Is. The Rams pushed across an
early touchdown, but Chicago re-
taliated with four touchdowns and
field goal before Cleveland reached
pay dirt again. The winners dis
played their most potent aerial at
tack of the campaign. rolling up 295
yards on 10 completed passes and
scoring three times on pass gains Of
a. So and SIS yards.
Green Bay, which still has an
outside chance to tie for Western
honors, ran up a 50-to-7 decision
over Detroit, largest total scored by
the Packers in 81 years Of league
play. The defending champions
amassed 80 points in three quarters
and then Inundated the Lions with
20 more In the final period.
Brooklyn, which likewise has n
mathematical chance to tie in the
East, watched the Chicago Cards
run up 80 lead before Ace Parker
went to work to achieve a 1919 VIC
tory. The former Duke star tossed
a 54-yard pass to Rhoten Shelley.
then ran Is yards to score. He
spanked another long drive. passing
II to Shelley and running Is before
hitting Perry Schwartz for 25-yard
gain and the decisive tally.
A long and heavy rain resulted
in the Philadelphia Pittsburgh game
being postponed probably until
Thursday. Reports that it would
not be played until after the Eagles
Redskins clash next Sunday were
not confirmed Immediately by League
President Carl l.. Storck.
The four Sunday games attracted
l09,786 customers, an average Of
27,446 a game.

that he has gotten away with the
same play countless times in the
past. After Hank Soar hit the line
for yards, Barnum again passed
to Howell who again was hit, and
this time halted, by Justice on the
1-foot line. But Soar carried 1t
over through center on the next
play and Barnum's placement made
it 14-0.
Thanks to the sensational run
ming and passing Of the rockies, Roy
Zimmerman and Bob Seymour, the
Redskins had no less than six
scoring chances, but could capital
lie upon only one. Some question:
able strategy by Coach Ray Flaherty
removed the two rocks from the
game after Zimmerman had just
tossed long pass to Bob Masterson
to reach New York's 80 in the
waning moments of the first half.
Flaherty explained later that there
was so little time remaining that he
thought the Baugh- Todd combina-
ton could score quicker than Zim-
norman and Seymour, but after q
reverse gained yards, Barnum in
tercepted Baugh's pass on the 10
yard line to halt the threat.
Blocked Kick Averts Shutout.
The Redskins lone touchdown re-
suited from a blocked kick, Justice
throwing his frame into one OF
Barnum's punts and Wee Willie Will
kin recovering on New York's 10.
Todd picked up IA yards in four
plays and Baugh then passed to
Justice just in the end zone for the
score.
Their next best chance to score
came at the start of the last period.
Getting the ball at midfield, Zim-
norman passed, ran and sent Sey-
mour into the line to reach the
8-yard line. But on first down, Sey-
mour fumbled on a reverse from
"Zim," Jerry Dennerlein recovering
for the Giants. Both youngsters
looked extremely good in their first
real test together, though, and
should be even better with a bit
more experience.
Andy Farkas, whose 1910 debut
had been eagerly awaited, saw action
only during the last two minutes
of play Flaherty had the doctors
orders to play Andy no more than
S minutes of either half, but it is
said that Farkas should be ready
for as much work as is needed here
after
So dark was the day that the
Polo Grounds lights for night play
were turned on four plays after the
second period started.
