ON RACES
TO STOP AUGUST

Betting on horse races must stop
on August 1 in Canada. The govern
ment has passed an order to that eff
feet. 1t practically means that horse
racing is at an end in the dominion
until after the war, for it is not ex-
pected that the jockey clubs will UNI
dertake to hold meetings unless they
could derive some revenue from the
pari-mutuel machines.
Closing the tracks on August 1
means that Connaught Park, Blue
Bonnets, Dorval, Windsor, Woodbine
and Fort Erie, according to present
schedules, can hold only one meet
ing each, while Hamilton can have
two. Hamilton's dates are June 26 to
July 8 and July rs to August 1.
The possibility Of conducting the
meetings minus betting has not been
seriously considered by any Of the
larger clubs. One Montreal paper
states that the clubs will continue, as
the $1,000 tax will not be imposed,
and private wagers may be made.

OFTEN IN ROW
Tener has Several Officials
Lacking in Ability to
Command Respect.

Chicago, June 15.-There seem to
be only certain umpires in the Ma
tional league who have most of the
trouble with the players and man
ayers.
Umpire Byron is one of them. 1t
can be easily understood why he does.
Apparently he has not learned h art
Of dealing with the players in a man.
near that is gently effective. He takes
exception to everything and shouts t o
the men in a tone that makes it only
natural for them to resent. AL Orth
is another of the same type. Quigley
is much the anne but he Is learning
to treat the players in q fashion that
gives him little trouble.
Hank O'Day seldom has any clash
es with players. He has protests the
same as any other member Of the
are worth.
He has been in the game so long
that he can laugh at a players OBJ
jections and retort in such a way
that the individual mas no chance to
continue or to become abusive. Bill
KLEIN doe the same now. although
years ago he was like Byron, refus-
ing to let a player utter a word in
protest.
Rigler has mastered the art Of
treating his players and has learned
that it is not necessary to be too
drastic to u the warlfke spirit of
the men and that they do not have
to be talked to in a sarcastic, sneer-
ing tone.
President Tener of the National
league is in duty bound to uphold his
umpires. If he did not they would
lose control of the game, but at the
same tim, he does not object to a
player ob1ectinS to a verdict when he
thinks he was safe" or that the ball
put his foot down on the player who
insists upon using obscene language
and who goes through movements
that incite the fans to ride" the UNI
pires and make it uncomfortable for
them when they are impartial in their
decisions.

B0XlNCSTATUS
IN new YORK
CAUSES WORRY
New Slater Bill, Which goes
into Effect November Is,
Leaves Much in Doubt

New York. June 15.-The status OF
professional boxing in New York state
after November is is causing pro-
motors OF bouts and owners Of. boxing
clubs considerable worry these days.
When Governor Whitman signed the
Slater bill at Albany, recently, it
marked the beginning of the end of
the Frawley law, which. since July,
1911. permitted the holding Of ten
round glove contests in New York in
legally licensed clubs. The Slater bill,
which will wipe the Frawley Law off
the statute books nex November, is
expected to leave the legal issue as to
the holding Of glove contests in New
York just where it stood prior to the
Horton law, some twenty years ago.
According to eastern boxing authori-
ties. fights and sparring contests in
the Empire state prior to 1896 at
which an admission fee was charged,
either directly or indirectly, were vio-
'lations of the penal code. In 1896 the
statute prohibiting sparring was
amended and allowed athletic clubs to
hold boxing and sparring matches,
providing h club owned the build
ing or had a lease for at least one
year on it. This was known as the
Horton law. In September, 1900, the
Horton law was repealed and boxing
and sparring We're forbidden up till
July, 1911, when h Frawley law
came into existence.
"Men in Chairs" Denounced.
In insisting upon the repeal Of the
Frawley law, Governor Whitman en-
phatically expressed the feeling that
he did not have so much objection
to the boxing as he did to the crowd
of lowbrows that the game attracted.
He said it was not the men in the
ring but the people in the chairs that
he took exception to. He generally
denounced the crowds that the sport
was attracting and for h a reason
threw a monkey wrench into h cogs
of the game.
Tint the Frawley Law was a fruitful
source of revenue to the state Golfers
during the first five years of its en-
actment and operation Is shown by the
annual reports of the New York state
athletic commission. Including the la
test, which was for the fifth fiscal
al ended Nov. 80, 1916, these re-
ports show that h grossa receipts of
502,2SO.51 and the total tax on this
was $%262,259.25. Taking into consid-
Grafton that almost a\full ear will
have elapsed before the Slater bill
becomes operative inc that many i'm
portant ring contests are to be de-
cided in the meantime, it is fairly safe
to predict that the sixth and finaI
years boxing under the Frawles
regime will be productive of a taa
which will bring the total amount OF
income up to one-third of a million
dollars.

iRE-INSTATE SPORTS.
BUT LACK ATHLETES

Madison, Wis, June 15.-When the
athletic council and faculty Of the
University of Wisconsin decided last
Monday hat athletics should be re-
sumed during 1917-1s, after having
been discontinued some time ago on
account of the war. they did not reck-
IN with h inroads which the army,
the navy Inc the ambulance service
had made in the coaching staff of the
institution. The resumption of sports
will come with the football season,
and at present there is no. coach in
sight. The same is true Of other
branches of athletics.
DR.. Paul Wilmington who coached
the football team last year.; has COM
pleted his work in the Harvard medi-
cal school and has notified Athletic
Director Tom Jones that he is pre-
pairing to go to France.
Nearly all Of the assistant coaches
have either enlisted in the military
service or have drifted to other
schools.
Athletic Director Jones has already
started to build up his department,
but he said today that under the most
favorable developments the Wiscon-
sin team which will play out the
schedule Of. sports next season will
be composed of hastily-developed
athletes, as enlistments Of veterans
have almost annihilated every squad.

when the stripes are horizontal,
the Union Is always in the upper left
corner. When the stripes are per-
p%endicular, the Union is always In The
upper right corner. When the flag Is
hung between a building and the
curb. with the stripes perpendicular,
the Union Is always out toward the
curb. When the national emblem IS
used on a casket at a funeral. the
stars or Union should be placed at the
head. At no time should the f1ag--b a
allowed to touch the ground. When
the national emblem and other flags
fly together. the stars and stripes
should always be on the right"
An unwritten law Of sentiment de-
mands that the national flag shall, II
possible, be hoisted at sunrise and
neve later than eight o'clock. tt Is
against the law to use the American
flag for advertising purposes, in reg
istered trademarks. or in any disre-
a pair Of shoes or hose decorated with
the American flag is not In keeping
with the dignity Of the emblem. The
flag should be honored because OF
what 1t stands for-liberty. honor and
united patriotism.
The emblem today bears forty-eight
white stars in a blue field. The thir-
teen stripes of alternate red and white
typify the thirteen original states in
the Union. On June IA, 1777. the
Continental congress took official &C
ton fixing the character Of our ma
tional emblem, as previous to this
there had been many try-outs Of de-
sign and considerable confusion in
consequence. It is because Of this
that June 14th Is celebrated az Flag
day.
This year the observation should be
universal, and many Of us will hang
France beside of it. Let us see that
our flag is hung correctly. By the
way, it is a good time to teach the
children just how to do It.

SHOALS LOOM
UP FOR MINORS
Minor Leagues Having hard
time to Keep Circuits In
tact and Out of Debt.

st. Paul, Mimi, June 15.-Minor
baseball leagues in every part of the
country are having a difficult time
keeping their circuits intact and side
stepping gobs of Indebtedness which
it might take years to wipe out.
The Western league, one of the
largest of the minor organizations, Is
now playing six youngsters on each
crew. the purpose being to keep down
expense. The International. South
ern, Pacific coast, Eastern and Cen
trail leagues have adopted much the
same plan for financial retrench-
ment.
This coming Friday the fans of
Fargo will give a booster day for
the Northern league crew Of that city
in the hope of placing $500 in the
club treasury. The money is said to
be sorely needed. Attendance in the
Northern league is said to be at the
lowest ebb this wear.

buttons of time and money voluntarily
given, without waiting for conscrip-
ton, by every prominent banker, rail-
road man. captain Of industry and
professional man are the best proof
Of loyalty and un~selfshness.
The revenue bill passed by the
house of representatives is Is rank as
it is Ubiquitous. Its trainers did not
intend that it should be so, but II it
were made the law Of the and it
would level many industries to the
ground. 1t would bring ruin and
despair to business and involve great
err desolation than would be wrought
by invasion by a foreign army or the
Smelling of our seaports by an alien
feet.
We say this in all soberness. It is
the belief Of every thoughtful citizen.
However good their intention. the
dominating members of the house Of
representatives have made a scandal
Gus muddle Of the val revenue bill.
Personal political. sectional and pri-
vate considerations had too much to
do with its framing. On the floor Of
the house one great industry was
most unjustly charged with being re-
sponsible for the war and therefore
Congressman were heard to say that
they were taxing certain industries
them. These are exceptional in
stances, but they bear evidence to the
lack of craftsmanship in the house.
There is nc excuse for the muss
which the house has made Of the rev.
enue bill. 1t took plenty Of time.
Precedents, too, could have guided 1t.
We had war revenue measures to
meet the enermous cost of the civil
strife and the much smaller cost of
the Spanish war. These war taxes
were enforced without imposing un-
bearable burdens upon the country.
We have also the lesson taught by the
experience of nations abroad, and es-
pecially England, in raising war rev.
enues or a tremendous scale. In
Great Britain only rs per cent of the
war costs Is now being collected. The
house bill would double this burden
upon u people. We agree with SEN
ator Weeks OF Massachusetts,. who
says: t"There is no particular reason
why this generation should not pay
for the war, but there is every reason
why it should not pay one-quarter
because they had a grudge against
or one-half the expense in one year,
Canada, too, has shown us how to
meet war expenditures in q reason
able way and business has flourished
in the Dominion while the war has
been going on. incidentally we might
note that the Canadian postofflce
charges only half a cen a pound for
the transportation Of newspapers and
periodicals throughout the Dominion
and has no deficit and no arbitrary
zone system such as the house seeks
to infiict upon American publications
The Canadian second-class rate OF
postage is just half the rate paid in
the United States. Yet the house bill,
would increase these charges from
200 to 600 per cent and cripple the
press at the very time when its serv.
ices are most needed.
The hope of the country now rests
with the senate. But for the, conf.
dence of the people in the upper house
Of congress an outburst of indigna.
ton would have overwhelmed the
lower house.
