WILL STAND PAT.

The Boston specialist, who with
other travelling and fake doctors the
Tribune roasted last week, arrived in
the city last Monday. as announced
in that article. He came to the
Tribune Office and made great
bluff about libel suits, damage to
his spotless reputation, and damage
to his health by reason of the an
guish of soul he had suffered, finally
leaving this office with a threat of
bringing action In federal court for
libel. At one time in the argument
which was both interesting and
spirited--he offered to compromise
by the Tribune paying his expenses
up here and back to Denver. which
was Of course, refused.
We want to make this announce.

PHYSICAL JOURNALISM.

The personal journalism indulgec
in for years by the Denver Post ano
the News Times has at last reached
the physical encounter stage between
the respective publishers. In what
appears like a cowardly assault, +.
G. Bontils, proprietor of tie Post,
one morning last week knocked down
Senator Patterson, owner of the News
and Times. in vacant lot and beat
the old man severely until others
rushed in and separated the two.
Generally it is supposed that when
a newspaper light has once reached
the physical stage. it is nearing the
end. If this proves true in this
case Senator Patterson has bought
cheaply for Denver, a better journal
ism For Bontils and the Post we
have nothing but contempt, whether
their work b e journals or physical
encounter. For the old senator we
have some respect, because, while he
fights, he fights openly and hard for
what he considers principle. Bon.
fils and the Post have no principle to
fight for. and they could prove this
in no better way than by assaulting
those who criticised them.

SOLUTION PROMISED.

a pamphlet eulllieu ooiultioh VI
the Liquor Problem is being sent
broadcast over the country by the
Model License League of Louisville,
Ky. Although this circular is issued
by the distillers, brewers, wine max
ers, wholesale liquor dealers, and
what are termed, the reputable sa
loon men. there is great deal In the
suggestions offered that might be of
value to consider by temperance peo-
Pile. 1t might he added that it Is
probably not from any desire to be
good, all OF a sudden, that has
prompted the liquor men to offer
their suggestions for the regulation
of their traffic, but to provide for
themselves surt of cyclone cellar
against the remarkable storm of
temperance reform now sweeping
over the country. States and parts
of states that are voting in prohibit
tion are causing as much surprise in
that direction as If Kentucky wholly
went dry. At the rate prohibition
has gained ground in the last three
years, should 1t continue, the Omitted
States would practically be dry In
another ten years. In the face of
thu condition, (which nobody sees
palmer than the liquor men. 1t is no
wonder they are clamoring for regu.
lation instead OF annihilation.
Withal that the liquor men are
virtually acknowledging themselves
licked or scared, there Is probably q
bit of Justice on their side, in the
demand they are making for model
license law. They claim there are
good men and bad men In the liquor
business the same as in any other
and 1t is only the bad that violate
the laws of the country. That poin,
need not be argued now. The ques
tion here is whether or not there l.
any need for the liquor traffic at all
and whether or not the liquor tast,
is the cause of the traffic, or the trSf
. tic the creator of the taste. II tn,
J taste is the cause of the business
then the liquor men are fairly JUS
, titled in their business and are to h,
! commended for asking to have strin
J gent laws passed to govern them. |
1t Is the other way, then we woult
say, let prohibition take its. course
But it Is pretty near the old cues
] tion OF which was first, the egg O
the hen. There is big demand fo
S liquor, and the liquor men are alst
S doing all they can to stimulate tht
demand. There is this danger, how
. ever, in attempting absolute prohi
0 bltlon. it may cause failure of th
: whole scheme.
But to come to the reforms aske,

Philadelphia, Pa. April 26.-America's s
interscholastie rowing championship will
be settled on May % at the sixth annual
regatta Of the American Rowing Asso-
citation TO be held on the Schuylkil River.
The stewards have already received the
bona fde entries of FIVE school crews,
representing the strongest schooIboy
oarsmen Of this country. What is more,
there is every reason 10 believe that
this number viii be increased to eight
within the next two weeks, making this
the finest lot Of school crews ever gotten
together for any regatta.
The FIVE school crews whose entries
have been received to date are the Casca-
dilla School. Of Ithaca, y. Y: the Nc
Kiniey School, OF Washington, y. c.. the
Georgetown Preparatory School, of
Georgetown. u. c., and the Boys Cen
tral High School and the Central Manual
School, both of this city. The other
three schools which have written con-
cerning their entry are Stone School, of
Boston. De Witt Clinton, OF New York,
and the St Johns Military Academy, Of
DeIafield, Wis. The Wisconsin eight is
almost sure TO be represented, and IL is
almost positive that the other TWO eights
viii come, making eight crews in all.
The American Rowing Association stew
ards were the first 70 develop sehoolboy
rowing. and il is their plan 10 feature
race for the American inteTsCholastic
rowing championship each year. The
great interest now being taken in school
boy rowing is shown by the interest the
Wisconsin eight is taking in the regatta.
The race for sehoolboys will be over the
regulation course of one and hve-six-

Determined to place the ban on any,
thing that might interfere with harmony
in the ranks Of the Nationals. Joe Can
tillon has issued orders that in the future
there is to be no poker playing among
the members of the Washington team.
The manager is against all gambling.
and while it is not possible for him to
prevent the players from playing the
horses, he has advised them to leave ali
forms OF betting alone.
Gambling Of any kind ruins ball players,
In the opinion of the local leader. for he
believes that it not only robs them of
their effectiveness, but also takes their
minds from their work on the diamond.
Keep away from IT," said Cantillon to
the players. You can only lose in the
end, and before you know II the fascina-
ton Of the game will have you so firmly
you'll not be able to quit it. and you'n
always be broke
Odds Against Players.
How a man With common sense can
throw his money away On such things
is mystery to me" he continued. THE
percentage is always against you. No
man can stick TO the racing game. for in
stance, and have money. The ball players
have seen almost penniless through rae
ing, when they should have comfortable
bank accounts to keep them for a life
time, are by no means few in number.
Some diamond athletes have lost repu-
tatIons they have won after years Of
earnest effort on the ball field because
Of racing. They have lost all the money
they have saved and now they have
nothing left but the undying thirst for
gambling.
The ball player isn't like the average
human being. He must make his big
money while he has his strength and
speed. and he must save IL to prepare
for the day when his arm goes back on
him and his legs lose their swiftness.
When he plays the races you can see
the end II he sticks TO It,
But IL isn't only that; it's the matter
Of playing the game every day. II a
player has bet heavily on the races and
lost he is nettled and not IN the right
frame Of mind 10 play his game. If he
has won, his mind is usually of his work
because he Is figuring on getting to the
track or poolroOm 70 play some more.
There is a fascination about ball play
ing that is necessary for a man TO be a
successful star. When an abnormal in
terest in another thing makes itself ap-
parent the ball playing is bound TO SUI

DREYFUSS BESTS SOLONs.
Pays Tax and Laughs at CounciImen
Who Wnnt Passes.

Pittsburg, Pa. April 26.-President
Barney Dreyfuss. of the Pittsburg base
ball team. got ahead Of the local council
men, who are trying to pass an ordinance
taxing his team and property 1000 a
month because he refuses TO issue them
free passes, when he slipped into the city
treasurer's Office and paid the $3.50 tax
that has always been levied upon him.
This makes him immune from the
Sl.000 a month proposition for year. at
least. but the couneilmen have another
card UP their sleeve. An ordinance is
being framed by the discounted CITY
solOns to compel Dreyfuss to build a
cover over the sun-lighted bleachers, and
some even so SO far as TO insist upon
q steel covering.
Mayor Guthrie will not discuss either
ordinance. but is much amused at the
attempt OF the councilmen to retaliate
upon Dreyfuss. Il is understood by those
close to the administration that should
either ordinance reach him. the mayor
will veto it,
