In view of his admission, there was Moth

him. Cabanne has many friends in this

Titus declaration will be welcome news.
A very UNPLEASANT feature of the affair was
the bitter and unjust personal attacks made
by the accused upon Mr.. Robert, the local
member Of the racing board, who preferred
the charges on which the men were sis-
pended. In the light of Titus admission
of guilt, it looks as if MIR. Robert were en-
titled to an apology. Recent Developments
have completely indicated him and the
action he took in this case. 1t is a matter
OF regret that the board did not reinstate
Cabanne as we'll as Murphy"
As a consequence of this action of the

The undoubted success ct the intercoi-

amateur sports. There is no sport so sat-
lGlActory as these college games, where
the spirit of alma mater is the guide to the
winning post. No one who saw the field
day ON Saturday, and noticed the great
crowd and the enthusiasm displayed could
help feeling that amateur sport in it's best
and purest form is very, very far from
death.
The Southern Pacific bicycle meet at
Santa Monica was in different way quite

been entered from half q dozen teams.
Certainly the introduction of professional
racing was all that could be desired.
