Indications are that Harry Krauss
and Johnny Vaeth, Washington's two
most skiIIful bowlers, will clash later
in the season to decide supremacy
When it was first proposed that a
match, or series of matches, be
rolled, friends of the two argued
that neither had anything 20 gain by
staging such an event, as Vaeth re
fuses to compete for money. 1t has
been a Iong-standing principle of the
former BaItimorean never to use the
game as a means of gambling, but
he is willing to meet any bowler for
the mere sport. As to. neither gain
ing through a clash on the alleys
this argument is squelched in the fact
that hundreds of teams and individu-
ais get together every week, and
roll, not to gain anything In par,
ticuIar, but for the sport.

All, the wickedness Of football! In
1905 twenty-one deaths were charged
to it. The next year newer and more
open style Of football was adopted.
Five fewer fatalities occurred. Then
they went up, until in 1909 thirty-two
died. They have fuctuated between
twelve and thirty-two for the past
ten years, tending to show that the
rules count for little in the argument.
Baseball7 Oh no, that's a gentle pas
time. In the same period deaths from
baseball run from eleven to fifty-three
annually. In all that time baseball
has killed sixty-nine more than foot
ball. What's that hear you say
about the dangers of sport?

1t Is not true that the National
League IL preparing a third division
for the Reds and Cardinals.
Now 1t develops that the offer of
$4,000 rendered Les Darcy for a
match with the winner of the Miske-
Weinert bout was pure bunk. The
promoter has admitted that he had
no intention of paying more than half
of that amount. Probably in the fu-
ture that enthusiastic promoter will
wonder why space is not given to his
dream pictures by sporting editors.
He'll rant and roar about the par
tiality and unfairness of the sporting
editors" Sure, they all do 1t, for
getting that the sporting editors
know their business. A promoter who
delights in such announcements de-
serves no better treatment from the

An impossible Mixture

The twelve democratic members of the house who

Of things. without going beneath the surface
dictment Of treason to party would
lie. That there was a so-caled caucus in which the
thirty-one democratic members took there is no
doubt that it a party and legislative
conference we know, because the four republican
members Of the house excluded What took place
in the caucus we do not know but we believe there
was agreement for the carrying out of an agree

sent to the enrolling and engrossing committee by the
vote Of all the members who took part in the caucus
But that far twelve of the members would

But the accusers themselves erred in the first
instance in the organization OF the caucus inviting

that the legislature is misunderstanding of demo-
Gratis re9ublicaas and Hunttes There is no bond
between any two Of these factions any stronger than
the bond between any other two
The nineteen democrats had one object in view
the passage Of appropriation bill The Huntites
had another entirely different thing in view-the de-
feat Of the appropriation b-its defeat by hook or
crook-any way, that the regular session might be
brought to an end without this piece of legislation SO
that Governor Hunt whose return is as confidently
expected by them Aztecs expected the return of
qaetzacoatl the White God from the east might have
an excuse to call extra session-so that it. might
be held up as reproaeh against Governor Campbell
that he, no more than Governor Hunt could prevent
extra sessions.
In these circumstances the nineteen democrats
who were responsible for the caucus made the mistake
OF hoping to accomplish the mpossipe of seeking the
coaescence Of oil and water. They cannot therefore
claim that they were deceived by the minority No
