From the Chicago Chronicle.
A traveller recently returned from
Africa has a good word to say for
the generally despised hyena, whose
courage. he declares, is much greater
than is supposed generally.
"Hyenas." said the traveller. "do not
hesitate, when hunting in packs, to

DR.. Donaldson Smith. a well known
African explorer, in his account of his
journey to Lake Rudolph, tells stories
of lion hunting which corroborates the

attack upon them by a number of hy-

great fury and bravery In the excite

In this fight the lions were driven

rule the hyenas got the better of the

Referee Harvey Payne. who made
the decision declaring all bets off on
last Thursdays game, writes to state
why he made such a decision.
Mr.. Payne also explains why he dis
allowed Savannah's touchdown. This
decision has not been criticised in
these columns, as it was recognized as
being on a technical violation of the
rules, and was nothing but fair. Fol-
lowing is Mr.. Payne's statement:

just, and as it was TO him 1t should
be to others. My real reason for writ
ing this letter is to decide wagers on
Jacksonville not scoring. Your article
claims 1 overstepped my authority in
deciding all bets off. My reason for
doing so was as follows:
with the ball in Jacksonville's pos
session in Savannah's territory, with
an added gain of fifteen yards imposed
as penalty, the game was stopped by
Savannah's hackers crowding on the
field, rendering it impossible to play.
1t was either a case of giving the
game to Jacksonville or calling the
game and declaring all bets off. 1
think you will agree with me that with
the time left for play, there would
have been every prospect of Jackson
ville's scoring. My reason for not Civ
ing the game to Jacksonville was that
it was not the Savannah team proper
that made it impossible to play. Re

Some people says that the lions

In spite of this roar, however, there
are those who venture to call in ques-

for discussion. 1t is probable that
among lions it is the same as among
people-some are brave and some are

of the lion, the hyena gets a better
