CALLS FOR ACTION.

A story Is told in the news columns
elsewhere In this paper. which viii
probably be read with more than or
binary interest. II is plain, IN
vanished recital of a scene which oc.
cured in the city court on Tuesday
evening, in the case OF the man who
had been arrested on the charge II
obtaining money under false pre-.
lenses. to which brief reference was
made In Tuesdays Bulletin. The case
was one in which the weakness ot
some human natures in the presence
of temptation-esp where snch
temptation seems to offer wealth
without tolls portrayed and also
the power of woman's tears and a
pleading childs voice. The scene was
a painful one TO all, and it must have
been particularly SO 70 the culprit
who stood at the bar Of Justice and
on the threshold Of the peniientiarg
because he had permitted him If To-
become involved too deeply and
tempted too far. while reeklessly ig
noring the most solemn obligations
that any man can assume in this life
The story is given as fully as pos
sible and without any establishment.
In order that the reading public may
Judge fairly and without passion;
and because il is the first of perhap
number of like nature that might
be told, which has come TO this paper
through the proper channels as legiti
mate news Ii is given with the full
realization that it's publication must
cause deep pain to those directly con
cerned, the husband and the wief
more particularly. But il Is neces
sary to give il TO the public in order
that the public and others NAV b.
brought 10 a realization of the fact
that the professional gambler is al
lowed 100 free a hand in Cairo: and
if this case shall lead to such cuybins
of the gambling evil in Cairo. as has
been demanded by practically the en-
tire press of the city for weeks past,
then the evil presented in this story
and in the publication of it will not
have been without its eompensatine
good.

country next season 20 challenge for the trophy,
which viii be offered under conditions similar to
those under which the Davis international Cup
was offered. The names Of Mrs Barger-Wal-

were willing 20 offer trophy should Miss Nav
sutton be successful In securing the promise Of

turning from abroad believe that the American

English Championship doubles, and who is an

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.


The Highianders lost ground IN the race for
TIE American League pennant last week, as they
won only two games out OF the six played, while
Philadelphia won four and lost two and Cleve-
land won three and lost two. A week ago the
Eighlan6ers were tied with Philadelphia for first
place, with percentage OF .613. while on Satur-
day night Philadelphia, the league champions,
held the lead by a margin OF d points
over New York and Cleveland, which were tied
with a percentage OF 593 each The Highland
evs suffered in comparison with Cleveland IN the
series just completed and this was particularly
true in the double header, when the home team
had 70 acknowledge two defeats. Il don't see
how Cleveland can ever lose q game. an enthu-
slastic rOOter FOR the Highlanders remarked. "if
that IS the kind OF baseball they play" The
work OF the Cleveland team that day
worthy OF the highest praise, as it was scientific
baseball from first to last. The Highlanders are
not discouraged and neither are their followers,
pace which viii make II necessary for the team
% play IN its best form TO hold place near the
TOP.
The champion Giants were clearly outplayed
ty Chicago last week. and, moreover met a
crushing defeat at the hands of Pittsburg on
Saturday II begins to look IL the chances
OF again winning the National League pennant
are infniteslmally small. The Giants won three
games and lost three last week and on Satur-
anG were 63 points behind Chicago. Chicago
won four games out of six, while Pittsburg won
three and lost two. The Giants have another
hard week before them, and while they may
work back into second place they can hardly
hope TO gain much on Chicago.
