.E, J. FoGARTY.


Like q bomb shell the above state
ment came into South Bend Sunday
afternoon and for a time great was
the futter in political camps. Warden
Fogarty's withdrawal from the pri-
mary race for mayor practically puts
things IN the democratic field in the
same shape as 10 days ago.
What the warden's future plans are
could not be learned Immediately
upon rec aipt OF his withdrawal from
the race a long distance telephone
call was sent to him at Michigan
City. He confirmed the statement OF
his withdrawal. but would not discuss
the natter further. AS 20 his future
plans he refused 10 say anything.
With FOgarty out OF the race the
democratic field is once more left 20
Joyce, Niezgodzki, Weidler, Fink and
Ward. With seven candidates i'm the
field. the issue had been problematical.
Effect il Question.
What effect the sudden Withdrawal
Of FOgarty will have on the rest OF
the democratic candidates is prob
lematical. Everything was set for
the beginning Of a battle royal with
the opening of the present week
The big warden had just completed
campaign headquarters in the sum-
mers building. Letters and litera-
ture had already been printed by the
bale and distributed. Posters and
other advertising matter was thickly
distributed through the city. Every
thing pointed 10 a stiff fight at the pri-
maries. Aug 6.
With all these plans Of political
battle laid, prospects for a hot cam
paign were many and the withdrawal
OF the former mayor was the last thing
expected

The legislature meant we'll in
passing the anti-cOupOn law, and it
is a good law. Business men and
many of their patrons are tired of
the coupon nuisance, which brings
no profit to anyone except the trusts.
But, as in many other good meas
ures, the bill was passed in bad
shape. 1t would pay the legislature
to employ couple of good lawyers
to decide on the legal points of ev-
cry law presented before it is passed.
There are good lawyers in the legis-
lature, but when one of them objects
to bill from legal standpoint he
is often voted down by the we'll
meaning but unlearned majority.

good condition of its hotels and
boarding houses, and he also COM
.mended the city authorities for their
prompt cooperation with him, clos
ing several places that he reported

Says John NJ. Caldwell, the sage
OF the Jasper News: 1T is announc-
ed that Frank Chase Of Jacksonville,
will be a candidate in the fourth dis
ar1ct for Congress against Claude
L'Engle. Mr.. Chase is clever, So
cial and talented, but, he would do
better to save his breath to cool his

The Star lives in the second ward
and does not find among its citizens
any uprising of sentiment against the
decision of the council that no spe-
cial election for alderman is needed
before the city election in Deem
Der. The ward is well represented
Mr.. Taylor is on the job, and the al
derman at large, Mr.. Livingston, also
resides in its bounds, and the other
wards are not trying to impose on
it, anyhow. A special election would
cost enough to pay years interest
on $4,000 of the city debt, and there
is no use in throwing that much
money at the birds. We have too

1t is a rather unavoidable discus
sion that is going on in some Of the
state papers, about what would have
happened to Wilson if the so-called
Florida reactionaries had not sup
ported the democratic ticket. The
Star has taken no part in the said
discussion, but if it isn't too late to
contribute its mite it will say if the
reactiOnaries had come out against
the democratic ticket they would
have been run over, stamped fiat and
politically annihilated. The gentle
men who honestly supported Under
wood or Harmon or Clark before and
in the primaries were not reaction
aries, and as for those who were
supporting Underwood in order not
to beat Wilson, but the party, the
contempt and distrust in which the
Times-UniOn' political utterances
are held is proof of how much they
amount to with the democracy of
Florida.

The Star again mildly objects
against the too common opinion in
the United States that Mexicans
can't fight. A hundred battlefelds
have given indisputable evidence
that they know how to fight and
know how to die, and more in war
men cannot do.

Harry Thaw proposes to buy land
in Canada and become a British
subject, in order to escape extradi-

States. Seems to the Star that it
would be a good scheme to let Har-

part at once to take up residence
thereon.

The Star highly approves of the

EXPERTS TO DECIDE.
 WHAT AMATUER IS

Experts in athletic matters from all over the globe will soon assemble at Lausanne, Switzerland, for the con ference of the. International Olympic they will discuss is, What is an am ateur2" Is is a subject offering a lot of room for discussion and one about which there is more than a, little diff ference of opinion, and much poppy cock. To the mere layman, some of the present fine distinctions and de- marcations between the amateur and the professional seem overdrawn and visionary. Packey Mcfarland shouldn't be permitted. to enter an amateur boxing tournament, but if he wants to play checkers, or tennis, or run a footrace, as amateur, why shouldn't he?
 By the same token, one J. Thorpe, winner of the penthalon and decath- a.lon in the Olympics, should not Hbe disqualified just because he had played baseball for money According to present definitions, Christy Mathewson, by reason of earning a living in the way for which he is best qualified, couldn't play tfddlewinks or authors as an amateur. To the lay mind, this distinction between persons IS put an evidence that those who control anna teur athletics are still welded to the snobbish theory that amateur and gentleman are synonymous, and that a gentleman is a person who doesn't work for a living, but lives on an In come or "sponges'' on dad"
 Of course, this theory is not now carried out to its logical conclusion. A policeman or a parson may be an ann ateur, and the fact they pound a beat or preach for a living does not affect their standing. Why, then, the dis continuation against those engaged In professional sport? Why can't a pro fessionaI ball player be an amateur boxer or vice versa2 Do the athletic authorities consider professionals as lo0w-browed and vulgar persons who might contarninate the refined and del- icateIy 1l11rtured young men from the colleges and athletic clubs? Or WhatE
 The present definition of an anna teyr is filled with absurdfttes and out worn prejudices. Moreover, 1t ts a, mat fer of general knowledge that the ann aterr code is not lived up to in any country The United States is. the worst offender because it has the most amateur athletes, but, proportfonately. it is probably no worse than any other country England probably enforces a amateur rules better than any other country, but it is not in a condition to throw stones. France is notorious ly lax, and Germany little better

WILLIE BEECHER NOW
 AFTER RIVERS SCALP

Here is what Dick Curley, the New about his boy, Willie Beecher:.
 willie Beecher Is. the frst of the local crop of lightweights to do some thing substantial in the way of get ting match with Joe Rivers, the Los Angeles fighter. Through his man. ager Dick Curley, Beecher has posted $500 to bind match and guarantee living up to any condition that R1v- CTS may exact for a bout.
 Its against the law to bet in New York.'' declares Curley, "or I would bet Rivers that Beecher can beat him in a bout of any length, one round or forty But will do this and that is that if Beecher does not beat Riv- CTS in ten rounds, I will let my for felt which I have posted go to any charitable institution, Rivers may name.
 'Beecher watched Rivers box Cross the other night and it's at his request that this challenge is issued. Beech CT would have beaten either Cross Or Rivers on Tuesday night had he been in the ring with them He en- tertains. no fear of any man in the lightweight class and just to show the idea of getting some cheap adver- Using, I have the forfeit up and if -Rivers wants the match he can have it."
 That Beecher is entitled to a match with any lightweight in the world is the reading of his record. He has boxed every lightweight of any ac- count for the past three years and among those who have continually re- fused to meet him is Knockout Brown Brown had, a few tastes of the East Side boys ability and whenever a match was suggested after their last meeting, Brown found some excuse for getting from under.
 And it was Beecher who gave Jack Britton his hardest fight in this city. He forced the clever Chicagoan all around the ring and has the distinc- tion of sending Britton spraw1ing on the flat of his back, this Is something the peerless Mcfarland failed to ac- 'complish. Now Br1tton wants no more of either. Beecher is not a fan cy boxer but he is surely a fighter.

HAL CHASE SAYS
 KNOCKERS INJURE PLAYERS CHANGES

New York, April 1EEvery baseball player expects to get his full share of roasting and Is not disappointed. A man may go along for weeks play ing a fielding game, batting at a. 400 clip, and then a muffed fly or an easy one passed and the hammers are out. Ask Snodgrass. It's all in the game, however.
 Here are a few words of wisdom from Hal Chase, who has had his full share of knocks and boosts:
 "If fans only realized how little good and how much harm knocking does a ball player they would not be discourages a player, and as a result he plays even worse; while a word of encourag cement may be the cause of him making a good play.
 Anyway, that's how I felt if you want to know-and at times I felt as though I didn't care. But the great CT part of the time I tried not to hear those hammer throwers, and just bear in mind that I was playing for my self, and did the best I could," ex- plained Hal.
 ''Of course not all fans knock. The real fans doesn't-the fan who has the interest of the team at heart never knocks-no matter how great the pro- vocation. He sensibIy realizes that if his favorites are going to win they must play good ball, and as favorable conditions make it easier to play ball he Is always there with a word of cheer and encouragement.
 II often wonder if the knocker really realizes how utterly obnoxious he makes himself to the people around him as we'll as to the players. There may be ladies and gentlemen who have come out to witness 8 ball game and not listen to a tfrade of abuse, so you can imagine their feelings in the matter.
 A'I am sure that if 1t were possible for him to look on himself and listen to himself from a point a few seats away he would not make such 8 fool
