HOW ENGLAND WINS
 BACK ROWING CUP
BY RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, October 27.-England is to re- gain at least one of her last sporting championships. The grand challenge cup representing the 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 defend it this year, and no foreign crew is permitted to enter the competition so England is bound to win the cup.
 The reason for barring foreigners from this years Henely regatta has, of course nothing to do with the fact that already tho foreigners have shown a very repre- hensibe disposition to wrest from Eng land her rowing supremacy. It is simply because the foreigners are to be given D chance to compete in the Olympic races, from which 1t may be said in passing there is no earthly way to bar them. even if they do not appear to have the best crews.
 That some of the English rowing eX- perts are not in sympathy with the ac- lion of the Henely stewards is indicated by their writings. For instance, Capt Frank Peddington write:
 No foreign entries are to be accepted at the next Henely regatta on account of the Olympic games. the regatta taking place over the same course a few weeks later This resolution was passed by the jlenely stewards long before the last Hen ely regatta.
 The Belglans, in consequence, will not be able to defend the Grand Challenge cup. which they now hold. They are the first foreign crew to win it. They have won it twice in succession.
 That they are not to be allowed to complete is exciting widespread com ment. Sportsmen generally regret that the exception cannot be made. Certainly if does not seem fair that the holders of the cup, unless disqualified, should not have the right to defend their title to it. In some circles the non-existence of a central governing body in a position to dictate to the Henely stewards is de- plored."

 NORTH BIRMINGHAM MAYOR ANSWERS JOHNSTON'S CARD

The Mayor of North Birmingham re plies to the card of w. H. Johnston son of Governor Joseph F. Johnston, winch card states numerous blind tigers are in North Birmingham. He states that the town of North Birmingham stands willing and ready with it's police to arrest any sdolator of the law, and have heretofore broken up every blind tiger that it's whereabouts was known Furthermore will say that MT. Fred Dimmick and Will Johnston know that all they have to do to break mp blind tiger is to have some one to buy one drink of liquor and inform the police or the Mayor of the parties selling same. If so much liquor Is sold here, why can they not find some one to do this?
 I will state as Mayor of this town that offer as a reward for blind tigers $5 for every gallon of liquor that can be bought in North Birmingham. l will go further than thai, will pay s5 for every drink of liquor that can be bought in North Bir- mingham, and the party buying same can have the drink. All I want is the name of the party selling same
 l am very much surprised to see a card of this kind coming from Will Johnston, written for the purpose of throwing Il damper on a prohibition town that has al- ways stood by his father in all his po- litcal battles. If Birmingham will con- trol liquor traffic half as well as North Birmingham. the open saloon will be of the past. Respectfully,
 J. II. BERRY. Mayor.
