GRAFT.

Graft is a word Of very frequent
occurrence In these latter days. II
is iterated and reiterated over and
over again, day in and day out in
the public prints, and is in every
mans mouth, being uttered from
time TO time and between times.
A word is the sign of an idea.
Many who Use the word graft,
seem to think it is the sign of
some new idea. 1t is not the sign
of new idea, but is a new sign Of
a very old idea. The idea of which
the new word, graft, has become a
sign, is as old as human greed,
and human greed is about as old
as the human family. As far up
the stream OF time as history goes
that which we now call graft may
be found mixed up with the affairs
of men.
To get back to the time when
there was none of what we call
graft, the historian would be forced
to delve into times anterior to the
time wnen men began to obtain
sustenance and accumulations by
means of their wits-when all men

CHICAGO FEELS
SORE In SPIRIT
Athletes Say that Yale Was Given
a Preference in Philadelphia
Games.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Chicago, May 1.-The opinion that the Uni
versityH OF Chicago relay team was not dealt
with fairly at the track games in Philadelphia
on Saturday, which has been felt strongly by
supporters of the maroon team, was strength
ened by the reports of Chicagoans who saw
the meet and by the statement of Coach Stage
of the Midway school, who returned from the
east last night. st< - IT
The action of the Judges in awarding the
mile relay event to Yale, say those who saw
the race. was downright robbery as Groman,
the last runner for the maroon team, finished
fully yard and half ahead of the Yale
runner, and, altho he fell at the tape, it is
asserted he fell completely across the line and
should nave been given the decision. Further,
1t Is charged. the Yale runners were allowed to
steal from three to five yards every relay,
the runner who was starting getting away be.
fore the preceding finished.
Coach Stage, according to his usual custom
was conservative in the extreme in his state
ments, but it is evident even he feels strongly
in the matter.
Several students who accompanied the team
however were stronger in their statements thar
the maroon coach.

WORLD CAN ROLL
ALONG ONCE MORE
Cleveland Players Daubed the
Sphere with Licorice and
Ruined Pitcher.
New York Sun Special Service.

: ------ -----
St. Louis, NO., May IA solution has been
found for the dreaded "spit ball. and the
players of the Cleveland club are the originators
of the scheme that practically renders the
'lyddite shell of BASEBALL null and void.
According to several members of the Cleve-
land team, licorice-just plain everyday stick
ckjack-vgorousy applied to the hide of the
ball makes it SO sticky that the pitcher cannot
get it away from him In the proper manner.
Yesterday the blues, knowing that Howell
the second greatest spit-ball artist to
pitch, got together and evolved the licorice
scheme. Every time player of the Cleveland
club secured the ball he would apply the licorlce
to the cover of the ball. rendering it sticky
that it would not leave the pitchers hand with
the proper angle. Howell tried for the "spit
ball' time and time again. but he could not
get it working, and in Ave innings Cleveland
sent Harry to the bench. wondering why his
''spit ball" refused to work. ,@
