THE RIGHT IDEA

Philadelphia Times: President Fo-
gel and Manager Doom have at last
awakened to the fact that the interests
of the Philly fans are of paramount
importance and have buried the hat
chet and all is JOY and peace in the
camp. This is the right stunt and
one that meets with the heartiest COM
mendation of the fans. 1t was unfor-
tunate in the first place and while
matters have been patched up, the sit
uation would have been better if the
furore had w been created by the
passage at letters between the pair.
However. the executive of the club and
its manager have a chance to repair
matters before the season opens and
have an opportunity to put the Phil
lies pretty close to the top.

If the proposed finish fight between
Jack johnson and Jim Flynn is staged

fries-Johnson fiasco so soon forgotten?
What pleasure can there be in seeing
the big negro hammer into insensibil-
ity a white man some forty pounds
lighter, a nan game enough but with
nothing else to give him a chance in
a heavyweight battle. Public sentiment
forced the English promoters to call
off a similar fight which was to be
staged there between johnson and

July we in the United States will know
just how the agitation in England
started and experience the disgust
which made it effective.

RED HoT FIGHT DUE

Football officials. members of the
rules committee rather. will soon
have their meeting to reform the
present playing regulations and to act
on the recommendations Of those
coaches inc experts who have asked
for certain reformative legislation. 1t
would seem from the varied and d.
versifed views on this subject that the
rules committee is in for a red hot
fight between the stand patters and
the radicals. However, it is to be
hoped that the battle between the OPP
posing facions will result in the adop-
ton Of certain rules which will help
and assist rather than retard the
progress of the sport.

They failed, however, TO entangle the
governor In their muddle and also
failed to get him even outwardly en-
tangled in the mixup by appearing In
photograph with Mr.. Murphy.
Without being positively rude, the
governor was not receptive or even
half cordial In asserting to the plans
to make him seem to be party to O
consideration OF internal differences.
Most candidates submit TO the snap
shot artist, but perhaps because he
had in mind the photograph Of Mr..
Bryan shaking hands with Mr.. Muir
ply, which recently was brought out
OF the archives TO plague the Ne
braska orator, the governor sidestep-
ped abruptly and without hiding MS
annoyance When he addressed a
party conference later he held up a
|, high ideal OF duty.
In this incident we see the figure
Of determined as well as a wary
man. II Gov. Wilson had been a
palavering politician he would have
smiled on all parties and left them
guessing where he stood. Instead he
put his foot down firmly and re
fused to be compromised or placed
In a position where his attitude
could be misconstrued. This AFFAIR
can be taken as a prophecy OF his
purpose II sent to the White House,
namely, to go about the nations busi-
ness without having local expediency
on his mind or conscience when con
sidering public questions. A politician
would not assume such a position, but
statesman should be expected to
take lust such a stand.-Boston Globe
