PHILADELPHIA THE HIRTHPLACE OF COLORED
EASTERN ORGANIZED LEAGUE OASEBALL
(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Philadelphia. Pa.. March 14.—Phila
delphia has set the pace by being the
birth-place of eastern organized color
ed baseball. This is really due to the
sterling efforts, and reliability of Edw
Bolden. It is the consensus of opinion
that no other manager of color could
have called such a powerful aggregn
tion together, and whipped them into
a concrete organization holding the
guiding hand through constitutional
tilts, ami emerging as head with every
body satisfied pledged to work untir
ingly for the success of the Mutual As
sociation of Eastern colored baseball
clubs.
For nineteen years Bolden has been
a clerk in the Central Post Office in
Philadelphia. The past fifteen years
has seen him hold an efficiency reco»\1
for case examinations and floor work
un-surpassed and seldom eqmlkd.
Without neglecting Uncle Sam he
sacrificed time and energy enough to
develop baseball to it s present status
around Philadelphia.
John II. Lloyd, who has played ba'l
coast to coast, and in Canada and
Cuba, will be field general, and judg
ing by the way star athletes are floe?
ing to the eastern organization will
no douht lead the strongest team in
Hilldale’s history. More effort in
schooling players to planes of greater
efficiency and promoting individual
and team fighting spirit so essential
to successful baseball will be put
forth.
Phil Cockrell, “the pitching wonder”
who is wintering at Palm Beach, Fla,
received a flattering letter from Rube
Foster. The letter is in Edward Bold
en’s hands and Phil declares he will
stick with the Hilldale team und sup
port his present manager who has
spent more money on, and has given
more consideration to ball players
than any other.

AFRICANS LOOK TO US
FOR HELP.- SIINGO
C. Kamba Simango and His Wife,
Both Well-Educated Africans
Speak at Hampton Institute
AFRICA HAS GIFTS TO MAKE
“Those Who Go to Africa Must Have
Big and Generous Hearts.”
(By Wm. Anthony Aery.)
Hampton, Va,. March 6.—C. Kamba
Simango). a native of Portuguese East
Africa and a graduate of Hampton In
stitute class of 1919. who 1ms just
completed a special course at Teachers
College. Columbia University, spoke
recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton In
stitute* on African forms of govern
ment. police systems, education, an 1
physical training.
“Africans” he said, “in spite of the
lack of highly organized police systems
succeed in apprehending wrongdoers.
They follow the customs and laws
which are useful to their tribes, but
they do not carry their rules beyond
their tribes to so-called ‘aliens.’ ”
THE LOT OF AFRICAN WOMEN
His wifet who Is a native of Free
town, Sierra Leone and who Is a
graduate of the Royal College of Arts
at South Kensington England, de
scribed the affection of African moth
ers for their children, especially' for
those children that are offered in hu
man sacrifice for the sake of bringing
peace to whole tribes, and likened this
nfrectlon to that expressed by other
mothers who send their sons to fight
in modern warfare. She referred to
the hardship whieh is brought on Afri
can women through the government {
conscription of able-bodied men for
forced labor. "There nre today'.” sTk»
snid "22(5 different languages and
over 900 dialects spoken in Africa.”
At another Hampton Institute meet
ing Kamba Simongo gave in appropri
ate African costume, vivid pantomimic
presentations of an elephant hunt, n
witch doctor’s incantations and -i
leopard-killing.
His wife described severe! phases
of African life gave an African dance
with piano music (originally written
by Coleridge-Taylor and later arrang
ed by Helen Hagen) which was played
by R. Nathaniel Dett, and displayed
specimens of native African work in i
brass, textiles* and basketry, which
had been made by men and women
who had not come in contact with out
side civilizing influences. She said:
AFRICANS JUDGE PERSONS
‘"The Africans need help in order
to develop themselves, but they also i
have important contributions which
they can make to the rest of the world
especially in the fields of art and
music.
"Those who go to Africa must have
big. generous hearts. The natives are
keen at detecting all insincerity or fail
ure to make works and deeds consist
ent. The African native judges individ
uals. He does not put many persons In
a single group because of the failure or
even meanness of a single individual.
Africans are carefully watching
American Negroes to see what they
will do to help Africa."
These two well-educated Africans
will leave the United States in April j
to (ake up their work of missionary j
teaching in the Mt. Silinda School, at j
Melsetter in Southern Rhodesia,
where they will help the native people
realize some of their worthwhile gift?
AFRICANS MAKE PROGRESS
• That the missionaries who have
gone to Africa have given the natives
the best that they possessed of relig
ion and civilization and that these mis
sionaries continue their work of bring
ing out the best traits of the natives
were opinions expressed hv Kamba
Simango before a large audience of
white and colored people, assembled
at Hampton Institute. He said:
"We find that the African is also
striving end reaching out to get those
things which will develop his happi
ness and welfare.
"In 1920. I understand the Govern
ment of Southern Rhodesia started
two Industrial schools. They have
tried to Interest mdr.slonarles to devel
op Industrial education to such an ex
tent that the natives will use the ma
terial fhrv have for commercial pur
prvres. This is tHe time that we need
the educated .otro to point nut tb?
wav The Government of Rhodesia is
extending Ubertv in education. Africa
is looking for inte’ligent Negroes to
do educational work In Africa.
"What Hampton Institute stands
for In Hie United states we mean to
makp Mt. Silinda School stand for in
Africa."
NAVY PROMISES INQUIRY.
Theodore Roosevelt. Assistant Secre
tary of the Navy, has written to the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, promising in
vestigation of complaints that free
speech is being denied the natives of
the Virgin Islands.
Complaint bad been forwarded to
Mr. Roosevelt In the following letter
written by James Weldon Johnson.
Secretary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple.
"I send you enclosed a clipping
from the March issue of The Nation,
the same being an article by Arthur
Warner on a recent trial of an editor
of a newspaper In the Virgin Islands
for criticism of local administrative
officials and h*s punishment for cuch
criticism. These facts have been tbor
oughly corroborated by personal cor
respondence with prominent Individ
uals In the Virgin Islands.
"On the surface this appears to be
a violation of the right to free speech
among tlie Virgin Islanders, which I
am sure you would not appiove.
"We are requesting that you be
good enough to institute an Investiga
tion of these facts and a correction of
what appears to be a gross evil. Wc
will appreciate your immediate atten
tlon to this matter.

local officials is Morenga Bonaparte
