world and the ages in Cleveland. We are
treating men as men, even when they are

even then we deal with our prisoners as
citizens. All like the change; not only
the offenders, but the police. " . . In

let go without appearing in court. The
force was shown how by conscientiously
carrying out this policy they would save
many hours duty in court-a matter Of
great Importance to the officers on night
duty and to the public when officers are
on day duty. They would save the city
thousands of dollars in witness fees; much
work for the police judges, police clerks
and court attaches; wear and tear Of all
police apparatus. And they would cut
politicians and shyster layers out OF their
source OF revenue and drive them back 10

ENOUGH OF ENGLISH sport"
Characteristic Actions of B~rItishers
Unable to Win by Fair
Means.

It is hard to see how the Engllshman
ever got mis- reputation for fair play
and honest craftsmanship. From the
days of the Heenan-Sayers fight down
to the present moment they have played
at least against Americans-to win by
any means that it might be necessary TO
use. The Dictionary of National Biosra-
ply, a British publication, does Its best
to make out the English claim in regard
to tho Heenan-sayers fight, which took
place in 1860. We quote:
Time, and against Savers was KNOCKED
sufficient to finish the fight; but nc al
ways returned good-humoTed, though Sc
rious. and delivered blow after blow on
the Americans eyes, while on one occa-
sion he actually knocked MS opponent
down. Heenan, apparently aware that IN
fighting he could gain no advantage,
closed with Sayers whenever possible, ana
on one occasion got him In SUCH a POSI-
ton on the ropes that ~Tangulatlo wa
broke in and the referee was forced nom
his place; nevertheless a few more tonnds
were fought, when Heenan, VINO lldd
hitherto fought fair, behaved In a way
which would have lost him the fight had
the referee been efficient.
Enthusiastically British we should say.
A great point is made Of the fact Sdwyers
actually knocked his opponent down.
though IL is admitted that up to the time
the crowd broke in. in violation OF all
rules, Heenan had fought fair" and yet,
as justifying the action OF the crowd.
Il is said that Heenan was trying TO
strangle his opponent. There was, as the
writer says, nothing unfair in Heeman's
fighting, and yet the crowd broke into the
ring, displaced the referee, etc. You see
ii was necessary for the Englishman to
win. However, the referee, who Is con-
demned as inefficient" had the decency
to declare a draw. Even so the American
was prevented from winning. II all reads
very much like what is now going on In
London with the crowd hooting the Ameri-
cans, with judges and officials breaking
into the course and declaring races void
etc. We sincerely hope that we have seen
the last Of these international contests In
the dispatches is this:

Will not think of invading England until
the last memory OF the present Olympaid
college crews OF the United States will
consider future challenges. The consensus
OF opinion Is that England has given her
self the blacklist eye In athletics thai John
Bull was ever called upon to wear. " . .
The result will probably be that athletic
relations between Great Britain and this
country will be severed for years.
We hope that this is true. Any uni
versity that would think of sending a crew
to England ought to be severely censured
by its alumni and by the general public.
The whole proceeding is disgraceful. 1t
ought to be-but will not be-humiliating to
the English to reflect that in spite Of all
their unfairness they could not win. could
not defeat the despised Americans.-In-
