We do not know whether this master shares the
view of the London letter writer who accused the
Americans of debauChing the ancient game Of tennis
with their trick service Probably not There is
ample slackening Of interest in cricket In England
to account for his perturbation without imagining
any dislike for modern tennis. He simply feels, as
do so many Of his countrymen, that cricket IS the
backbone Of the empire and that when 1t goes the
sun will have set on England
AS the recent victOrs over England in several
sports Americans will have great difficulty in shar-

in sport and out Of IT, Other nations, however. have
bucked down TO learning her games and Just he

The Fusion Choice for Mayor.

The Tribune regrets that the Citizens fuSlon
Committee did not nominate for Mayor the man
who in our judgment had done most to earn tha'
recognition from the friends of good government
We believe that District Attorney Whitman Wouiu
have been a much stronger and more logical cholce
than Mr. Mitchell and that the fusion cause would
have Jared better in the approaching campaign
under his leadership.
We should have preferred Mr.. McAneny to Mr.
Mitchell. If choice had to he made between them
We have no hesitation therefore about saying that
to our mind the outcome of the protracted discus
sions in the fusion subcommittee and in the full
committee is distinctly disappointing.
Yet The Tribune is heartily in sympathy with the
idea of non-partisan fusion in municipal campaigns
as the chief If not the sole check on Tammany mis-
government. 1t puts the movement above the
candidates Tammany must he beaten, If possible
next fall and united anti-Tammany action is neces
sary. We hope that Mr.. Mitchell will prove
stronger candidate than anybody Tammany may
name against him.

Time for Discretion in Mexico.

The opinion Of Mr. Henry Lane Wilson that Ma
dero was murdered without the knowledge or con-
sent Of Huerta is not convincing. Other opinions
and testimony no less worthy Of consideration, are
10 the contrary effect.
But If Huerta were proved to have been innocent
and ignorant of that crime, what them Why, by
that very fact he would stand convicted OF an In
capacity so colossal as turn into the grimmest Of
Jokes the pretence that he was worthy to be recog
nized as President For there Is no exaggeratlon in
saying that there rested upon him peculiar and
UNIQUE responsibility for the safeguarding OF Madero
If he failed in that supreme duty what efficiency
can be expected Of him for the protection Of others
in remote parts Of the country?
There is no convincing force, either, in the rumor
Of further pressure" by European powers upon this
country It Is not be believed that such influences
are being exerted 1t IS certain that the recent talk
of such foreign representations to our government
was greatly exaggerated. OF course, it Is easily
conceivable that Huerta and bis friends would en-
plot anything of the sort far beyond its merits, In
the hope OF forcing the United States to recognize
him as an alternative TO something worse.
Nothing in brief. has thus far appeared which in
dicates the need Of an Immediate choice between two
such evils as recognition of Huerta and forcibe in
PREVENTION. The resources Of discreet diplomacy,
which are TO be tried in advance Of such extremes
are not vet exhausted.

THE AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER
Its Success in Preventing Dangerous
