SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SOLD.

The Salt Lake Tribune has been
sold to Perry S. Heath, formerly
assistant postmaster general in the
Mckinley administration.
This releases c. c. Goodwin. the
long time editor of that paper. the
impress of whose writings have had
marked effect upon the people OF
Utah. Perhaps no writer has done
so much to break down the barriers S
of the Mormon church and over
throw the polygamous relations ex>
isting in the early days of Mormon
dom than Goodwin. For twenty
one years Goodwin has fought a
relentless battle, never swerving
from his position of hostility. 1t
took man of iron nerve to mains
tain such battle in the early period
of the Tribune's history. Goodwin
belonged to the same class OF wrl>
ters as Greeley. Dana and Bennett
and with them believed that the
editorial page was primarily the
most important department OF the
paper Goodwin was prolific
writer, with a sarcastic vein run
ming through all Of his writings, his
enemies oftimes receiving most
cruel thrusts. Withal he was the
soul of honor. untainted and pure
in his life and his works. Spend
ing whole life working for others,
he retires a comparatively poor
man. AS a reward, however, for
his constancy Pat Lannan, who has
owned the Tribune, has provided
an annual pension of $4,000. so
long as Goodwin shall live.
At least one man, that man his
employer, was appreciative OF his
great work.
Judge Goodwin is about seventy
years OF age. His writings have
shown no sign of weakness. he

other capacity. as he i, already an

The Land Of nrenms.

Away from the City of Sorrow and Hare, !
In a vision of glory 1t CLEANS,
And scourged by the rod of the malice Of
Fate,
The world-weary toiler may enter its gate
The beautiful Land of Dreams;
And serene In the sight of the sun-litten
goal,
Know the raptures Of Aidenn, thrice blest
In his soul.
And there flee for refuge the kings Of ths
earth;
With the throng of the conquered II
teens;
Unmarried by the pride and the envy OF
The triumph Of wrong and the scorning Of
worth,
The beautiful Land of Dreams.
And the sweet sound of music is soft in
the air;
Lo! each pilgrim becomes what he hoped
In his prayer.
Oh. land of my longing; so may / indeed
Be restored in the glow of thy beams;
So may I, when thralled in the stress of my
need,
Be led from the bondage of spirit and
freed
My beautiful Land of Dreams.
Aye, when passion and fancy alike havt
their cease,
May find the abode of an infinite peace.

the only one who had knowledge
of the French game and he ex-
pressed willingness to meet any
foreigner in the old world at the
game. 1t has been suggested that
the advertising that Mccoy got out
of his def" to the Champion Charlie
mont was what he was after, not a
match.
Corbett was willing to learn the
game, but Fitzsimmons declared that
only unfair fighters would think of
that style of contest. Jimmy Bar
ry, Tommy Ryan, Jack Root, Terry
McGovern-in fact whole galaxy of
lesser stars expressed themselves as
unqualifedly against savate, and
more than one said that Americans
might study the mode of defense and
attack in gymnasiums but would
never permit it as an exhibition.
Those who think that savate is but
mild form of calistnenics would do
well to bear in mind that many big
brawny sailorman has met his match
in small, wiry Frenchman in sea-
board town melees. Great strength
and endurance is necessary to be a
good savate artist. Boxing, fencing
and the hardest kind of athletic work
are combined in this method of de-
fense and offense. There are rules
which govern the contestants in the
ring, much the same as the famous

have had pugilistic entertainments
at intervals of a few years. The re-
cent shutting down on boxing in
New York, followed by the deter
mined stand of Ohio, Illinois, Ken
lucky and other states has made
many critics ask why ''savate" is
not taken up by the pugilists as a
form of prize fighting and a certain
and novel money-maker.
"Savate," or boxing with the feet
and hands, has been brought to a
high state of perfection in France.
Followers of ring sports will recall
what astonishment was caused by
the report from France that Charlie
mont, the French champion at ia
savate," had won fight from jerry
Driscoll, the pugilist, by well-di-
rected kick. Charlemont was a nov
ice in the use OF the fve-ounce glove,
but he had all the tricks of "la sa-
vate," and they conquered over the
arm strategy of the Irish pugilist.
American pugilists will go out cut
ting marble, driving nails or molding
iron before they will attempt to
master s'la savate."
There are many American students
of the distinctly French form of
pugilism, but none will ever attain
proficiency. Furthermore it is doubt
full whether the public has been edu-
Gated to bite on the palpable hook

Rubin to resume their former bel
ligerent attitude and appear in a
24-foot ring prepared to show Charlie
mont's own game of savate to pay
for beefsteak supper for the two
principals.
More than this, it is doubtful
whether a community that would
strain at a five or six-round boxing
exhibition between pugilists who hat
secretly agreed not to hurt one an
| other, would tolerate display o.
| savate. The latter could be made
fully as brutal as bullfight. Once
when there were many pugilists con
gregated took the opportunity t.
ask several of the fighters what they
thought of the prospects for savatt

the shin it is easily parried by spring
ing forward and striking the oppo-
nent ON the side of the head. Or
if you are expert, throw up your foot
and you will fling him back. The
coup de fame is one that is always
delivered with the heel. 1T may be
high or low and aimed at any part
of the adversary's body. Il the blow
is toward the chest, both arms
brought down on the extended foot
will stop the blow. If the blow
strikes for the face, both arms
thrown up will parry the blow and
throw the antagonist sprawling back
on the carpet. Should the attack be
made for the sides, sweep of either
the right or left arm will checkmate
the blow.
However, even in parrying these
various blows the fighter has to be-
ware of the most formidable quick
return blow of the game. 1t is called
the coup de tournant. l would say
that it comes nearer the jaw jolt or
the uppercut than any other blow
in savate for effectiveness. The wise
old savate fighter will work every
ruse to get you where he can de-
liver the knockout blow in the
face. If after parrying a side kick
YOU are not quick as flash with
your guard your opponent turns on
his foot and kicks backward for your
face. 1T is blow that has terrific
force behind it,.
The cross kick-chasse croise-is a
fierce heel kick that experts work to
advantage on novices. When the ex-
pert takes a sort of a hop and de-
Iivers kick, it is called coup deyache
Those who have tried the hitch kick
will appreciate the speed with which
the shifting of the feet must be ac-
complished to do this.
If an expert agrees to handle you
easily he may seem to be in the act
of delivering terrific kick and you
will find the toe of his buslSin sim
ply grazing your cheek. That is one
of the fancy moves, the artists leg
being so completely under control
that the blows are like those of /,
big steam triphammer. Imagine a
professor who will first flick the
ashes from n cigarette held in the
mouth of an opponent, then kick
away the cigarette, and finally knock
out of his mouth the holder. That is
what yon may see any night at a
sayate school in Paris.

The French eeLa Savate" as
a Successor to Prize Fighting


marquis of Queensberry rules. It is
ludicrous to an American to see the
preliminaries the Frenchmen go
through before beginning an affair"
First they bow profoundly, then plac-
ing their right hands on their heads
they shake with the left hands and
retire to get within proper kicking
distance.
Although savate means ian old
shoe," the exponent of the game
wears chausson, or light leather
buskin, instead of shoe on his feet.
The gloves are made something like
those used by American pugilists,
but they are provided with gauntlets.
The contestants generally wear trou
sers of fine duck and the men, con-
sequently, do not look so much like

pugilists do who appear in the ring

There are so many combinations Of
| bewildering blows, passes, uppercuts
| and contortions that to the novice
| it would seem that French master
of savate was much quicker than Il
fast bantam-weight champion. Every
form of kick, be it high, low, heel kick
or toe kick, has it's particular use,
! but each is to be foiled by a parry
suitable to the case. The fundamen-
tai law of the savate is to learn to
keep the weight of the body on the
leg which is the further back. Seri-
Gus trouble will follow putting this
weight on the wrong leg. The center
of gravity will be lost much quicker
than in ordinary boxing where the
"sidestep" and shifty footwork plays
such an important part. An expert
will have no trouble in throwing over
his opponent if the latter stands
squarely on both feet. 1t is quite
possible for the man who forgets and
places the weight on the forward
foot, to get quick kick on the shin
which will break bone.

de savate," an ordinary kick with
