See the number, three lodges of Masons, three Eastern Star, one Elk, one Ruth, one Oddfellow, one Court of Calanthe, one K. P., and three churches, and one very young church. It is plainly seen that there can be nothing else but lost fraternal energy among so many lodges for a small population. The various duties are limited to burying the dead and assisting the sick. However, it would be out of the question to attempt to bring these organizations Into harmonious consideration for saving of energy, for the Negro divides easily In business according to his church and fraternal connection, and that weakness carries on in social and family life. However, when the race gets a deeper and better understanding of value of reservation of energy in the various organizations, less time will be wasted In the fraternal and religious life, due to the real meaning attached to such efforts. subject for the morning service being H }} " Q B I "The Difference Between a Believer a le . rown and a Christian" and at night.

8 ,. .. THE PORTLAND TIMES Sporting Editor Denver Ed Martin's Annual Review A Summary of Fistic Encounters---Records of the Golden West Athletic League---Boi,,ts Held in Portland / EDDIE PALMER Middleweight TED MEREDITH Lightweight For a long time, lovers of the boxIng game were unable to witness bouts In Portland like many other cities throughout the country where the lid was on tight because the game was classed as vicious and brutal by those shortsighted and nar· row minded who claimed to be lookIng out for humanity, when In fact, they were kllllng the greatest, fairest and most beneficial sport In the world -the manly art of self-defense. Time Proves Truth Time has proven the truth of the assertion, for now boxing Is the most popular sport In the country, being advocated by the most prominent people, Including army officers, doctors, ministers and a part of the curriculum In the universities of some states. Portland Conduct• Bouts Today, boxing is being conducted In Portland on the highest standard and much credit must be given to the colored man for the part he has taken to put It on this high standard and part he Is still taking to keep It there. Before we had the Boxing Commission, several local boxing clubs or so called clubs were stagIng bouts here. The fans were so hungry for the game that they attended In large numbers, all contestants being white boys; no colored boys ever appeared untll George Moore, president of the Golden West Athletic League, the only legitimate athletic club answering a.11 the requirements of the law, entered the ... field against strong opposition and promoted bouts. Moore Securea Beat Talent Moore spared no expense In ob· talnlng the best talent, Introducing something new to the fans by staging bouts between colored and white boys, a thing a great many thought could not be done here. The Golden West A. L. bouts soon became known as th11 best In the city, proven by the large attendance, because the card was the most evenly balanced. Fans Uahered to Seats Each fan was properly ushered to his seat. The bouts were started as scheduled with no delay. The fans were able to get home early after the smokers. The public gained confidence and the boxing public appreciated the manner In which the bouts were conducted. The conduct of the colored boxer who took part In all the shows held him while in the ring and out of It, has been a credit to the game. Some decisions given· against the colored boys were not exactly fair, did not meet the approval of the fans, but the gentlemanly way In which the colored boxers took them, without any display of anger, gained them many friends an4 made them favorites with the public. List of Colored BoxeM1 Here Is the list of colored boxers who helped put boxing In Portland on the high standard which It is today. Ted Meredith, 135 lbs., sailor of the U. S. Navy; Y:>Ung Jack Johnson, 168 lbs., Boston, Mass.; Lee Johnson, 125 DENVER ED. MARTIN LEE JOHNSON Lightweight lbs.. Oakland, Cal.; Sam Langford, 126 lbs., Oakland, Cal.; Danny Ed· wards, 115 lbs., Oakland, Cal.; Eddie Palmer, 158 lbs., New Orleans, La.; Pat Bradley, 160 lbs., St. Paul, Minn. Lee Johnson, one of the best little men on the coast, fought many battles here with marked success, giving away weight In most of his bouts. He beat Joe Benjamin when he was featherweight champion of the coast; beat Billie Mascott twice and fought him a draw once. He knocked out Billy Nelson, who towered over him; beat Joe Gorman twice and fought two draws with him; beat Chet Neff 1of Seattle, and Stanley Willis of Philadelphia. He lost to Muff Bronson twice, beat him once and fought a draw once, giving away many pounds In weight with Bronson. Little Danny Edwards the Favorite Little Danny Edwards Is the best liked boxer, colored or white, on the coast, always trying to make friends wherever he goes. Whlle In the Northwest he beat Able Gordan when Gordan was bantam champion of the coast. He won and lost one decision to BIily Mascott. He beat Bud Rid· ley of Seattle and Jimmy Lewis of Tacoma, and his hard battles with Weldon Wing wlll be long remembered. Ted Meredith, the Gentleman Ted Meredith, the sailor boy, has a great following, always a gentleman, made many friends. He gave a good account of hlmselt, boxing such men as Dan O'Brien, Peter M!t- • I GEO. P. MOORE One of Portland's Most Popular Fight Promoters chle, Joe Benjamin and Chet Neff. Young Jack Johnson Great Favorite Young Jack Johnson, always smil· Ing, and a great favorite, fought and won from the best middleweights here, Including Al. Sommers, Valley Trambltas, Lowe Sims and Leo CroBB. He went with the A. E. F. to France, and ls a much better man now and Is fighting good In Boston. He will return to the coast soon, where he will be welcomed by his many friends In Portland. Young Sam Langford, Good Little Man Young Sam Langford, a good little man, has fought the hardest white boys her&--Peter Mltchie, Joe Gorman, Chet Nett, Stanley Willis, Leo Houck, Heinle Schuman and always good account of himself. Eddie Palmer was one of the best mlddJewelghts In the country, but only boxed a couple of times here. He did not seem to be able to get going In these short bouts; he Is a long distance fighter, and a good one. Pat Bradley, a M lddle-Welght Pat Bradley has many friends here. He fought Monte Farrell, one of the cleverest men In the world, to whom he lost the decision. He beat Romeo Hagen, the tough. baker boy; knocked out Joe Swain, the butcher boy, and beat Billy George of Bend, Oregon. Pat Is well liked tor his manly ways and was always trying. When the boxing game opens in September, we may see one of the best middle· .. weights In the country, Scotty Williams, known to be a great man. He has been away since 1916. Scotty Williama Resides In Chicago President George P. Moore received a letter from Williams, who Is living in Chicago, stating he ls anxious to come here and box. The field should be good for him, for there are many good middle and light heavyweights on the coast to meet him. Among whom are Battling Ortega, Valley Trambltas, Al. Sommers, Frank Farmer, Mikey King, and Frank Ba· reau. He has been looking for just such a man to meet these boys. Frank Hayes Is another good prospect. He 111 the son of old Ike Hayes of Butte, Montana; ls young, weighs 155 pounds, and with a little more experience will bear watching. BASEBALL Denver Ed. Martin 1919 Is a great year for baseball all over the country. Attendance at ball games the previous years had fallen off a good deal on account of the war. Many of the best players bad been drafted Into the army. The National and American League clubs are drawing big and a good brand of ball Is being played. New York looks the best in the pennant race In the National, with Cincinnati crowdIng her for first place. Chicago, New York, Cleveland and Detroit are having a hard fight In the American League for the flag. Vernon and Los Angeles are the YOUNG JACK JOHNSON Light HeavYwelght DANNY EDWARDS Bantamweight best bets In the Coast League. Judge W. W. Mccredie, ,president of the Portland ball team, can feel proud of the support given his team by the local fans. The Portland team was out of the Coast League last season and was just re-Instated before the 1919 season opened. Mccredie did not have the chance to gather as good a team as some of the oth'er club. Seattle was also admitted to the Coast League, making an eight club circuit, and It looks as though all clubs will make money this year. Considering the hard luck Portland bas had with their best men, either crippled or sick, with only two dependable pitchers, the club 111 doln1 pretty good. Next year wm see a strong team. The Golden West A. L. has been trying hard to get a team of good ball players to cope with the best semi-pro in the city, state and the NorthW!)Bt. When the season opens next year the Golden West A. L. expects to have the best colored team In the country to present Portland. Good colored ball te11ms always draw well on the coast. Rube Foster's American Giants are still remembered here. In Europe, where lnter-all!ed sports are being-held, the American army boys are carrying ott the honors. The colored boy Is a great facter, taking part with credit In all branches of sports. There is no reason that he should not do It right here. We need to have champions In all lines of sports, and we can have them, If we try and work hard. •

l ,E THE PORTLAND TIMES Few Enterprises Among Portland Negroes ..•... : · ,· -. ...:-.- : ~: , __ ' THE GOLDEN WEST HOTEL, THE LARGEST HOSTELRY ON THE PACIFIC COAST.-18 NOT SURPASSED IN THE UNITED STATES The Golden West Hotel, located at Broadway and Everett §treets, is thf! business center of the Negroes in Portland. W. D. Allen, a shrewd busine11s man, is \)!,6prietor, and has supporting him some very efficient assistants. Nowhere In the United States is there a better appointed hostelry for colored people, the size of this hotel, furnished throughout conveniently. This line of business is new to the Negro, and the fact that this enterprise has been successful speaks well of the business sense of the proprietor. It may be Interesting to know that this hotel Is supported largely by transients and the many railroad men who come Into Portland daily, who find all the conveniences of home In the hotel. Left to the absolute support of the residents, this place of business would be an absolute failure. It is convenient to all the railroads, that is the greatest thing in Its favor. Mr. Allen keeps a system of bookkeeping, under the supervision of an expert bookkeeper, and these business methods are applied to the several departments. Connected with the hotel is a well appointed barber shop owned by Waldo Bogle; the finest ice-cream parlor and candy shop west of Chicago, serving Its patrons with all kinds of delicacies and soft drinks, under the constant supervision of A. G. Green, the proprietor; a well-appointed restaurant serving all kinds of dlshe11, Wo Gong, manager; a well furnished club room with Turkish baths and gymnasium for the Golden West Athletic League, under the management of Geo. P. Moore; all provide for the amusement and satisfaction of the guests. New York City cannot boast of the equal, and such a hostelry located In the larger cities of the East, would prove a wonderful success. However, the accommodations for rooms is inadequate, for you will find many Negroes rooming In Japanese hotels and other places around town because they cannot find rooms in private families nor accommodations in rooming houses. Another hotel with the same number of rooms would find ready demand, for the problem of housing le very acute in Portland. The race men associated with this enterprise are among the most progressive in the city. The hotel spends large amounts of money In the city for supplies, due to the railroad trade which supports it. During the war the many drives were well supported and thousands of dollars were invested In bonds and war activities through the activity of the race men, who felt it a duty to interest themselves in the success of Portland. Red Crose work, Y. M. c. A. drives and every charitable endeavof found generous support from the proprietor and guests at this center. There le no doubt that this business enterprise should prove an Inspiration to other young men who are seeking e. field of business. Learn how to meet people, then go into the hotel business in one of e 'T~ succees will crown you as it has crowned W. D. Allen, a self-made man. F. D.
