CONDEMNS MODERN ATHLETICS.
Prof. Royce Of Harvard Argues for
Different Training.

BOSTON, Mass, March 23.-Prof. Josiah
Royce of Harvard, in a lecture delivered
before the Physical Training Society OF
Boston yesterday. declared modern athletic
contests engendered hysteria. and the un-
natural excitement of these contests caused
warped view by college and school athletes
in regard to their opponents.
Physical training, Prof. Royce held.
should develop a true devotion to cause
the loyalty OF groups to cause and the
spirit Of fair play. The first moral duty
of the physical trainer was to inculcate In
his pupils a sense of devotion to the work
in hand and so foster this spirit that in
later tasks the pupils might be able to be-
come loyal to other causes.
Prof Royce said there was more In fair
play than sticking close to the letter or
the rules of the game, and he spoke dis
paragingly Of the term recently substituted
for flair play''-the square DEAL This
la tier term he said, did not fully cover the
ground and brought in the matter of keen
competition too strongly. The game should
be played for the pure toyousness of play
rather than with the fierce desire to elimi-
nate ones opponent at any cost.
The hysteria of modern athletic contests
must be avoided, If possible, the professor
argued, and the training throughout must
tend toward the development clearhead-
edness in the midst of great tasks, rather
than the weeping and maudlin condition.

SERIES OF TRAGEDIES.
Murder and Desperate Gamblers at
Bay in Forth Worth.

FORT WORTH, Tex, March 23.-Follow-
ing an attack on an alleged gambling
house yesterday, County Attorney jeff D.
Mclean was shot and killed and Hamil p.
Scott, a member of the attacking party,
was fatally wounded by William Thompson,
proprietor of the resort. Half an hour
later Thompson was surrounded in lum-
Der yard and captured after a desperate
fight, in which Thompson suffered bullet
wounds that may prove fatal.
The series of tragedies was seen by hun
dreds of men and women, including many
legislators attending a stock show. The
resort Is in Main street near 9th, in the
heart Of the retail quarter.
County Attorney Mclean, heading party
of deputies, forced an entrance to the
place, arrested several men and loaded a
furniture van with paraphernalia. The
wagon with the confscated furniture had
just moved off when Thompson approached
Mclean on the sidewalk and fired a bullet
into McLean's throat, breaking his neck
and causing death.
Thompson ran west on 9th street with
Scott in pu<suit. Dodging behind bill
board at 7th and Throckmorton streets,
Thompson shot Scott three times in the
body Scott fell, and Thompson discarded
his empty pistol for that carried by Scott
and fed.
By this time score of policemen and
deputy sheriffs, followed by hundreds of
excited men and boys, were in pursuit of
Thompson, who found temporary refuge
in a lumber shed just across the street.
rom the Touraine Hotel, the most fash
ionable hosiery in the city, Patromen
Bell and Lloyd opened fire on Thompson.
who returned the shots, while the crowd
shouted Lynch him."
AS soon as Thompson had emptied his
revolver the officers, whose own pistols
were emptied, fell upon him with bare
hands and made him prisoner, as he
was suffering from three severe wounds in
hicted by the officers.

the 'cochers" were never without fare,
and their tips were both numerous and
generous. H..
Finally some of the male cabbies de-
cided it was more profitable, instead of
soothing, to try to share in the golden
harvest by masquerading women. Ac-
cordngly, they shaved off their muStaches
discarded their high glazed plugs for the
fat variety affected by their comrades of

coats.
At distance the disguise was complete.
