ship IN the interhIgh school football

Unfortunately for Central several OF
its fastest men have been disciplined,
and will not be on the field tomorrow.

instead Of S:45, as heretofore in the high

LONDON, Oct 2S.-England is to re-
gain at least one of her lost sporting
championships
The Grand Challenge Cup representing
he world championship in rowing is to
come home The process is simple. The
Belgians. who have held the cup for
Two years. are not to be permitted to
iefend it this year, and no foreign crew
s permitted TO enter the competition, so
England IS bound TO win the cup.
The reason for barring foreigners
iroln this years Henley regatta has, OF
course. nothing 70 do with the fact that
already the foreigners have shown a
Fery reprehensfbIe disposition TO wrest
from England her rowing supremacy.
II IS simply because the foreigners are

DisapprOve Action.
That some of the English rowing ex-
perts are not in sympathy with the ac-
ton OF the Henley stewards is indi-
patad by their writings. For instance,
Captain Frank Beddington writes:
NO foreign entries are to be accepted
Rt the next Henley regatta on account
Of the olympic games, the regatta TAX

weeks later. This resolution was passed
by the Henley stewards long before the

Sees Defeat in Olympic Games.
Captain Beddington further paves the
way for the defeat OF the British
champions when tney are compelled
10 meet the worlds oarsmen at the
olympic games. He says:
The Olympic games OF 1868 VIII bring
60 England the cream OF the amateur
rowing talent Of the world The Eng
iish viii impose q handicap on them
selves when competing against foreign
crews, owing 10 their amateur defipi-
ticn. SO limited is 1t that very often
tile man possessed Of exceptional ath-
lCtic ability is precluded from becoming
an amateur oarsman on account Of
rules which I quote:
The Provisions.
Here no person shall be considered
an amateur sculler OF cOxwain who has
been by trade or employment for wages
mechanic or laborer, or employed in any

Thus il can readily be seen how this
restricts the class and field selections.

Would Have Drawn Well.

The Georgetown-George Washington
game has been the feature OF the local
gridiron season for the past three or
four years. and Il Is regrettable that
such trouble should arise at this late
hour over the game for this season. In
past years, regardless OF strength, these
two aggregations have had some thrilling
contests on Georgetown Field, notably
the games OF 1905 and 1906. The game
this year gave promise OF being hard
fought, as neither team has shown
startling strength against its oppouents

merit When seen this morning. Man

Sues for Half of Earn,

Charging that Harrison Assay and his
children, Ella 7. Assay and Mary E. Asay,
of Burlington township, are wrongfully
in possession of half interest in a farm
in Burlington, Catherine Magill, of Phila.
delphia, has brought suit against the
Assays to recover what they now hold and
to secure an accounting of the profit re-
ceived from the farm
The bill of complaint filed alleges that
January IA, 1904, the property in question
was sold to Alice 7. Assay, wife of Harri.
son Assay, and the complainant, as tenants
in common, for $4,000. Mrs. Assay was
the sister of Mrs. Magill 1t is charged in
the bill that previous to the purchase the
complainant gave to her sister, Mrs. Asay,
81, 200 with which to make the purchase.
1t is claimed that at that time there was
verbal agreement made between them that
Mr.. Assay was to rent the farm from the
complainant. The purchase price above
the 81 900 was represented by mortgage
of 81, 200 on the farm.
1t is averred that Mrs Assay caused the
deed to be made in her name and the name
of the complainant as tenants in common
whereas the complainant having provided
the $1,000 and assumed the mortgage the
farm should be her sole property.
Mrs. Assay died intestate December is,

gether in accordance with the true situa-
ton. A gentleman in the drug business
says he has been resting under the impress
sion tina the town is particularly free from
victims of the drug habit. The law pro-
hibiting the sale of cocaine is very strict
1t is chapter 70 of the laws of the session
of 1904, and recites that mo person shall
knowingly sell, furnish or give away any
cocaine or any patent or proprietary
remedy containing cocaine, except upon
the prescription of a registered practicing
physician, or of den fist in his own prac-
tice, or of veterinarian in his own prac-
tice; nor shall any such prescription be re-
filed. nor shall any physician or dentist
prescribing cocaine, or any patent or pro-
prietary remedy containing cocaine, for
any person known to be an habitual user
of cocaine; provided that the provisions
of this law shall not apply to persons en-
gagged in the wholesale drug trade, regu-
Larry selling cocaine to persons engaged in
the retail drug trade. Any person violat-
ing any of the provisions of this act shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
on conviction thereof shall be punished by
a fine of not more than one hundred
dollars. or imprisonment in the county
Jail where said violation was committed |
for term of three months, or both, at the |
of the court before which such |
offender shall be convicted"
1t does not require very particular read
ing to get the meaning of this law. Co.
caine cannot be given away or sold except
upon prescription that cannot be renew

son known to be a victim to its use. The
