FOOTBALL -O|SREPUTABLE
SAYS JUDGE WHTs0N

Federal Judge Edward Whitson,
not prizefighter, declares that
football is more brutal than prize
fighting. Fighters have made this
statement since time immemorial,
but Judge Whitson created a stir
when he voiced similar sentiments
at a banquet at Davenport's last
night in the interests of Spokane
college. '-.-'-
Football is more injurious than
prizefighting and more disreputa-
ble," declared his honor.
We disagree with Judge Whitson
on the latter part of his declara-
ton. To the former we agree-the
game of football is undoubtedly
more injurious physically than
prizefighting. But as for the dis
reputable part of it-next to horse
racing, prizefighting is the most

OLD-TIME BALL
PLAYER SEIZED
WITH DEMENTIA
HindIe, as Catcher, Was Frequently
Struck on the Head Before
the DAYS of Masks,

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 14.-Al-
fred Hindle, aged SO, an old-time
baseball player, was taken into GUS
tody by the police today when he
was found to be demented. On the
way to the police station in the
patrol wagon he attempted to cut
his throat with a pocket knife. He
will be sent to the Farnhurst asy-
lum tomorrow.
Hindle was manager, captain and
catcher of the Quickstep baseball
team of this city when the team
won the national championship in
1872. He caught behind the bat
when masks and gloves were I'M
known, and was frequently struck
on the head with the ball. 1t is
supposed that he is now suffering
from the effects of those injuries.

Horse racing and prizefighting
are disreputable, not because it is
considered wrong to race horses or
wrong for men to box, but because
of the crookedness of the games.
Fixed races and fixed prizefights-
pockey and an owner ruled off
the track, a prizefighter confessing
to a crooked deal-are the things
which have brought these great
sports into disrepute with a large
number of people.
College football Is clean-gener-

consider the reformer justified in
attacking it for it's physical bru-
