IS anticipated.

SPORTSMANSHIP is developed by
such affairs as the junior tennis
tournament now under way in this
city. The tournament is managed
by a committee of boys with an
advisory committee Of adults and
the youngsters are handling the
tournament in a way that is very
pleasing. Boys have been acting as
judges and officials and some of
their decisions have been open to
question, due to lack of familiarity
with the fine points of the game.
However, the contestants take
everything in good part and it is a
case of every one, committee, Off
Gals, contestants and all, working
together in harmonious manner to
make the tournament a success.
VICTORIES for Phoenix and
Tucson in Wednesdays ball
games helped to tighten up the race
in the Rio Grande association. FL
Paso has won five of its last eight
games and the Dukes have been Just
as successful. That pace would soon
put the western clubs out of the
Pennant scramble and spoil the race.
Anyway, no real fan likes to see
even his home team win all its
games. From the fans standpoint,
close, well-contested games are the
desirable thing, even though the
home team wins only a shade better
than half-of them.
+
GIRLS are busy calling up E. E.
Neff these days with a sugges-
ton that a girls tennis tournament
be held shortly and conducted along
the same lines as the boys meet
which is now under way. Why -ot?

SOLDIER BARTFIELD, a prac-
tically unknown welterweight,
held Mike Gibbons to even terms in
a ten round bout recently and is
now challenging either Gibbons or
McFarland to meet him in a decision
contest for the welterweight cham
pionship. Nike Gibbons has about
as much chance of making 142
pounds as I have-and I'd have to
cut of a couple of legs to do it.
Bartfield and Willie Ritchie might
get together as Willie is said to be
hunting bouts in the welterweight
division.
HUGH JENNINGS, of the Detroit
Tigers, has decided to give a
tryOut to Steve Regan, a Cornell
pitcher, who is to report to the big
leaguers on July 4. Regain has done
some fine work in college ball and
the number of successful collegiate
pitchers now in the majors has
caused Jennings to do some sleuth-

stars.

EDITOR
STOCK MARKET REPORTS.

From the New York Times of recent date
comes the following editorial paragraph
About a year ago the shares of the Distil-
lery Securities Company were quoted around
10 and 20. Then they tobogganed to something
like IA; had fluctuations generally downward,
and yesterday went over the precipice with a
fall Of 212 to 51a.
This is a new record and the direct re-
sponsibility for it is credited to the fact that
recently some distilleries in Kentucky have
gone into voluntary liquidation, while in Ohio
and Illinois brewery companies have been
placed in the hands of receivers"
This is in<line with the report that comes
from Pittsburg where the German National
Bank, some of whose officers are officers of the
Pittsburg Brewing Company, is financially in
volved The failure is laid to the fact that
West Virginia has gone dry by statewide pro-
hibition and a large portion of Eastern Ohio
has gone dry by local option.
A devout and courageous sswet', NAV refuse
to get alarmed over the fact that there are
eighteen prohibition states. He,may see moth
ing to get excited about in the action of big
employers of labor opposing the drink habit.
He may not get panicky over the action of Rus
STA and France and England, or even Germany
He might even be unconcerned that one fourth
of the daily newspapers of the United States
are refusing to advertise liquor, but what
answer will he give to the stock market re-
ports?
But it would seem as though the brewer and
dstiller, who are in business purely for the
money they get out of it, would at least take
the hint given by the stock market-that the
end of their business is at hand
