How strong he looked with deep chest, mighty bulg , ing muscles, broad back and thick arms. That reasoned I is such a man whom I’d love to be like when I’m grown and from that time I deter miner! to grow and Ire strong. Follow these articles and learn how I in creased my {rower and retaied my health. Do you know that the recent drafts ,-howed a startling amount of men un fit for military service. Yes, it is true that of every one hundred ex amined a large per cent were found to be deficient, suffering from some form of ailment, some form of physi cal defect, some trouble that should not have been. Now it must be remembered that the first drafts were of men between the ages of 21 and 31 years, a period that man is and should be at his very best. Yet statistics show that hun dreds of thousands of those who should have proved the bulwark of the na tion’s strength were actually a hin d rence to our cause. Why ? Because if every man called had been in first i class condition the government could have saved millions of money and much valuable time and every soldier knows what time means to an army. Now that we know the facts, the naked truth is staring us in the face, what are we going to do about it? Overlook evil that is gnawing at the very vitals of the republic, a condi tion that is sooner or later if con tinued, to help effect the downfall of this mighty commonwealth, a truth that will cause us untold dishonor i should we chance to be at war with some power, however, not equally strong and wealthy, but whose man ] hood is superior to ours. To Be Continued.) THE COLORED MAN IN SPORTS The day of the Colored boxer like that of the Colored jockey of a de cade ago seems fast drawing to a close, and the question often asked is: Have Colored men lost that spirit of courage possessed by their fathers, or is it the unfair stand and law of the white man that caused him to give up in despair and seek vocations in less strenuous and prejudiced fields? I am inclined to adhere to the part that unfairness and the ever presence of prejudice has had more to do with the passing of the Negro in sports in which white men are competitors than all else. Twenty years ago and until a short time back we had great Col ored jockeys, cyclists, boxers and fol lowers in other sports, today we boast of but few with rarely a headliner. Of the runners we have Sol Butler, | recently crowned by the king of Mon tenegro for winning the championship in the interallied races and broad jump held in Europe and Howard Drew, Binga Desmond and a few oth er stars. A score of years ago no race course was complete without an army of Ne gro jockeys, trainers, rubbers, stable boys, etc. Today the sport of kings boasts few if any Colored man of prominence on the tracks. Of the football players, Pollard, one of the greatest pigskin kickers of all times is still a star. There are also several other Colored players of note. In the boxing game a sport in which Negroes from the days of Molineaux to Jack Johnson won fame, but few remain. Of the big fellows we have several who are handy with their dukes, chief of whom is Harry Wills of New Orleans, believed by many to be the best man on earth. Dempsey is by far the best white man and holder of the crown, but millions of sporting men believe that Wills would prove his superiority over the Salt Lake mauler. What a pity conditions have come to a stage that we will not see a con test that would stir the blood and give to old times a chance to breathe in that spirit and atmosphere as was their wont some thirty years ago. Surely a Dempsey-Wills match of twenty rounds woyld stir the sporting world from center to circumference. Wills, be it said to his credit and to the credit of his race and the pro fession he follows, is in every way a clean man.
