At last Negroes ot this town have
been made to realize the tremendous
and bubbling enthusiasm for clean
sport and amusement that really dom-
. Inates them. We Colored Kansas
Cltlans, though credited with being
progressive In somo lines, havo been
criticised for our lack of accommoda'
tlons In these wholesome and vivify'
lng things. But we can now meet
this criticism and shout that we are
In the swing. No more will we de
pend on the vacant lot or the old Pa
rade grounds for their products of the
American game, we can all go to a
regular park and see the top notch
goods delivered by men of color. We
think this the greatest thing about
the WESTERN CIRCUIT OF NEGRO
NATIONAL LEAGUE in that It 1m-
Tho KANSAS CITY MONARCHS,
famous at once, represent us, and
have already become the pride of lo
cal fans, both colored and white. To
bo brief, they have 'em.
Are Kansas Cltlans Interested In
Negro Baseball Wo should say so.
Only "Interested" Is a mild term, let
us rather say that they are wild over
It. They've gone crazy about It,
daffy, loco or some other something,
not to exhaust tho vocabulary ot ad
jectives . These fans followed the
MONARCH'S games with big time
concern during their recent trip to
Belolt, St. Louis, indlauapolls and Chi
cago. where they played ball In grand
style, taking a fair percentage of
games.
The Black Kings opened up the
home Berles last Saturday. Local
fans made It a gala day, the Inevit
able street parade, 'everything. A
big crowd was in attendance.

opponents to meager and scattered

early In tho fourth session and "C.

Monday's (Decoration Day) Game
started off in regular one-two-three
crder so far as blanking each other
In scores was concerned. Neither an!
alphabet nor a king crossed the home
plate until the fourth Inning, when
the visitors scored one. Big league
ball was maintained clean up to the
sixth period, when the kings found
their batting stride, and incidentally
Dictah Johnson, who had been hurling
excellent ball for the Alphabets. Eight
runs were scored In the sixth Inning
by these hard-hitting K. C. boys. The
audience was well pleased with Cur
rle's work on the mound. His com
posed and leisurely style inspired con
fidence. There is something masterly
about this Monarch that Is very strik'
lng. ho might be unflatteringly call
ed the pitcher with the perfect de
livery. Add to that plenty of speed
and a liberal variety of curves and
you have our local mound star.
Though Currle had the game well In
hand, he was nevertheless pulled In
the first half of the seventh. Of
course the fans did not understand
the reason for this move, and when
the A. B. C's. begun to score In the
seventh they grumbled. The visitors
scored five In this round, and things
got doubly interesting. Blackburn,
Crawford and Donaldson succeeded on
the mound, but finally won out to the
tune of eight to seven. There was
timely walking of Pinch-hltters on
both sides. Carr. the Monarchs sec
ond baseman, made one of those im
possible catches In the sixth Inning
to the electrification of all fans.

the standard of good acting, which
includes most particularly stage man

cast played with ease and could be
heard distinctly. Mr. and Mrs. Louis
Cave were exceptionally good and
received roars of applauds. Both
can be styled second to none in ,the
amateur sphere, they show marked
improvement.
Mrs. Eva Fox was a decided suc
cess and a favorite. She carried her
audience by n storm. As usual Mrs.
Julia Morrison and Mrs. Gertrude
Reed were all right; they portrayed
the gypsy roles most pleasing, com
manding alternate roars of annlause
and laughter. Robert E. Bell, the
Squire, and O. L. Ramsey, the Major,
were typical in their portrayals and
carried the audience. C. H. Allen, the
villain, was as usual very good. Jo
