New York. April 2l.-"Pittsburg Philp
is out after the man who is always yelling
fake, and he wants the racing authorities
to make him prove his cry or hold his
peace. Charges were made against him last
season which were unfoundcd. He says:
"When a man makes a remark publicly
on race track which reflects upon the
honesty of an owner, trainer or jockey
concerned in the race upon which he is
commenting he should be required by the
stewards to give his reasons for making
such reflections. Should he be able 10
show that he had good grounds for
testimony given by him may result in
bringing some crook to justice, while on
the other hand, il he be merely making a
loud-mouthed echo OF someone's sense
less clamor he should he punished by a
fine or exclusion from the track.
ut is serious thing to give anybody
the name OF being dishonest, and. as
you know, it is not easy for an owner,
trainer or jockey to disproye these vague
insinuations in which no authority and no
specific cases are mentioned. They are
practically anonymous attacks, and un-
less the traducer can be caught in the act
and brought to account by the stewards
the men slandered and injured have prae-
tcaly no redress. When a man OF any
standing in the racing world mean a
man who is supposed to know something
about racing-makes a charge rejecting
upon any turfman while on the track
and under the jurisdiction OF the stewards,
he should be called to account and made
to tell upon what grounds his reflections
were based and should he happen to be
unable to furnish any reasonable grounds
upon which his charges had been based
he should be promptly punished. | am
not talking about any new turf legislation
on this point, but only a matter easily in
cluded in the enforcement OF good order
and decorum. | think that il notices bear
ing upon this matter were posted about
the entrance gates, the stands, betting ring
and stables it would be rarely that the
stewards would be called upon to act, and
rarely that the rules would be broken in dn
offensive and aggressive fashion, to say the
least of it,
"Now, you know do not wish to stand
up against the freedom of speech. A
man has perfect right to express his
views, honestly and freely; but he has
no right TO assume to be an oracle when
he is really a novice, and he has no
right to slander turfmen simply because
he is angry and doesn't know any better
If man were to turn loose a big six
shooter in a crowd he would be held re.
sponsible for the harm he would do, and
the mere fact that he had lost few bets
and was sore would be looked UPON a.

FLOY FUDGE TO FIGHT
POSTOFFICE EMPLOYEES

Whether Floy Fudge can really fight or
whether he belongs to that class called

certainty with the Butte followers OF the
ring.
Mr. Fudge is an employe OF the Butte
street railway. lie has attained consider
able clcverness by sparring III the little
gym that connects with Mr.. Wharton's
private Office and some time ago he sent
out challenge through the Inter Noun

the street railway in four rounds.
Since then several amateur boxers have
replied TO him. but none we're willing to
put up the coin that they could stay the
limit Now Mr.. Fudge is out with an:
other challenge and offers to stop any OF
the postoiice employees who work for Post
master Irwin.
The challenge, which has Just been re.
Ceived. is as follows:

AS the writer said some days ago, the
Los Angeles team lacks the harmony of
action that it takes to beat sluggers like
Butte. We will win the series with the
Angels.

The Non Compos Meniis team of bowls

down to defeat before the. 1horntons at

good. however for the Thorntons made a
total OF 2.756 and the Non Compos Alentis

high score OF 40.

HIS HEAD AND II ANDS.
From the Youths Companion.)

When a brilliant pupil at length over
takes his master in their chosen art, and
perhaps surpasSes him, interesting devolp-
ments are likely to occur in their personal
relations.
\ fellow pupil with John $. Sargent in
the famous studio of Carolus Duran has
recently given an amusing account of the
older painters failure to realize at first
the value of his former students time or
the dignity Of his position.
In tn" studio the young aspirants for
fame often served their master as models
at his request, and were pleased to do so.
Mr.. Sargent had been called upon especial
| ly often to pose for hands-hs own being
singuiarly ShGpcly and expressive.
After he had left and had set up a studio
of his own, Mons. Carolus Duran coutn-
ucG his demands, to which Mr.. Sargent,
at much Inconvenience, good naturcdIy
Submitted. But his engagements with his
sitter, became more numerous as his
Reputation grew, and at length there came
a day when a hurry call to come at once
to pose for hands i'm the old atclier had
to be politely declined.
The master could not understand it.
Such oftrontory was incredible. particu-
larly as he had not long before, painted
in the head of the offending individual
among the decorations of the ceiling of
the LuXemborg Palace. with those of his
other faVorite pupils.
| rev days after Sargcnts refusal to
pose for him, Carolus met a friend t.
whom he had already told his anger al
his rCcalcitrant pupil.
| "Well," said the friend chow is ii with
Sargent? Have YOU made up? How Is
| hc?'
".Ah, no" said Carolus and he looked SAD
and his shoulders went M, How Is il
with sargent? It's all oVor-it's all over
| | have been to the Luxembourg. | went
ANA got a ladder, and | painted out his
head
"And Sargent, you know" says the mar
rator has never been heard of since"
Most of us have heard of the painter of
the noble prophets in the Boston public
| library, and of so many wonderful por-
traits but it is true that his countcnanct
does not, with those of his other bright
studio-comrades, since known to fame
look down upon the Visiting tourist from
the ceiling of the Luxembourg.

when the MidanltcS carried Joseph down

succor HIM and to bless his aged father,
its fultlmcnt involved the destruction of
all forces that We're to bless and redeem
the world, Whereas his brief suffering
