DO you all know what is meant by
false pretenses?" In law, there is
punishment for any one who secures
money under false pretenses," which
means, the one who got the money
had promised something in return.
and did not give it.
In literary and newspaper fields.
there is another crime which. in the
eyes Of writers, is as great as that of
taking money under false pretenses,
and it is called plagiarism; it
means stealing the writings or the
ideas Of another. I really think
writer's have more regard for the
thief who steals pocbet-book, than
they have for the plagiarist.
Maybe, without realizing it, great
many Of You who have been writing
letters, have been guilty of this;
some Of the letters have been badly
written as to spelling and cOnstruc-
ton in the first part, and suddenly
they viii blossom into language
which is instantly recognized as that
Of another.

l learned that it had been the
regular custom for the graduates to
ask their friends to write their grad

the audiences would applaud the
essays of doctors, lawyers, newspaper
folk-and many OF them gave credit
to the young readers, for those
articles.
This is, | understand, a common
custom; look at it squarely and see
what you think of it,
Is it honest? Is it fair? Is any
thing gained by it?
And in the same degree, those of
you who write letters and use page
after page from books, not giving
credit to the writer's whose ideas you
have borrowed, are guilty of "pla-
giarism" and of fraud.
There is nothing so honest nor so
much to be desired as originality. If
you really understand a subject, you
will always be ready to discuss it
intelligently, and while your discus
sion may not be profound, and it may
not add anything to what is already
known of it, it will be of benefit to
you personally.

Washington Boy Meets.
Patrino in Columbia, S. c.

Having succeeded in winning his
match from Walt Evans at the Gayety
Theater last night, Joe Turner, the
Washington middleweight, leaves for
Columbia, s. c., tonight, where he will
take in Patrino, an Italian wrestler of
much fame in the Southern section, on
Monday. Patrino is somewhat out of
Turner'S class, but the Washingtonian
believes that he will be able to outdo
him in two out of three falls.
Indications are that Walt Evans and
Joe Turner will again be matched in
this city, the Tennessee boy claiming
that the third fall of last nights bout
was unfair to him. Turner has agreed
to meet Evans again provided the
Southerner defeats Con Albright, who Is
here trying to get a match with Turner.
Albright is touted as being one of the
best mat performers who has yet turned
up in Washington, and II he wins from

Offered by Spaldings and Ed

Managers OF the various team in the
amateur circuits are expressing them
selves as confident that the eighteen
men clause drafted in the constitution
will meet with approval and strengthen
the different teams. AT meeting of
the commissions at Spaldings last night
a change was made in the constitution
which now allows all teams to sign
eighteen players.
President Graft, of the Northern Asso-
ciation, started the movement for the
eighteen men clause, and the vote of 4
to carried the amendment. 1t is now
thought that the teams will be strength
ened by the addition of three players,
and the followers of the leagues say
the measure will, no doubt, be more
fully appreciated later in the year.
The Government, Treasury, and Navy
Leagues, drawing men from the various
departments were invited to join the
amateur commission. 1t is not expect
ed that these circuits will be regarded

matter was set over for consideration,

NEW YORK, May 1s.-Bombardier
Wells, the English heavyweight cham
pion, arrived in New York yesterday
on the Mauretania for the sole pur-
pose, as he expressed 1t, of getting a
bout with AL Palzer. Wells was &C
companied by his manager. Jim Ma
loney, and expects to remain in this
city until arrangements for a bout with
Palzer are definitely settled.
Wells, who is making his first visit to
America, looks like a runner rather
than a fighter. He is of the tall and
rangy type, and weighs 1876 pounds. He
has blond hair and blue eyes. and does
not carry a mark of any of his ring
battles. Wells stands 6 feet 21S inches
and has the appearance of an ideal ath-
lete. He was prominently identified
with track athletics before he took uI
professional boxing, and is credited
