SIR THOMAS AND HIS sPoRTSMANsHIP

TNHE wholesome compensations Of being
l. good sport" were imperceptible while
the war lasted Germany broke all the
rules at the outset and Britain soon trag-
ically realized the impossibility of pre-
serving her traditional code of Cricket"
in the midst of a shambles.
To call the struggle, as did some sen.
timentalsts at first, "a big game" was
sheer sentimental nonsense. 1t waJ a
gigantic contest between international
policemen and a gang of thieves and MUIR
derers. Spurtsmanship in a world of ocean
mines and deadly submarine, Of bombed
cities and gassed regiments cuts an un-
happy figure. But it inevitably quckens
into life the minute the madness caused by
a clustering malefactor is dispelled.
Sir Thomas Upton, good sport, If
there ever was one, has sensed the passing
of the eclipse with veritable hairtrigger
promptitude. His gallant challenge for the
Americas Cup is a heartening index of
the good fun obtainable under conditions
of a sane civilization. 1t is doubtful if even
reformed" Germany could yet comprehend
his action. 1t forecasts international rivalry
and to the Hun that is something to be
fostered only with machine guns and
goose stepping cannon fodder.
The sense of sport must be instinctive.
America and Briton have long enjoyed it
and seldom more wildly than in the inter-
national yacht races-not for colonies or
trade routes but for paltry cup lifted"
off Southampton one interesting day more
than a half century ago.
The Irish baronet has contributed more
than his share of zest to the contests.
After three failures he so invigoratlngly
bobs up again that only the most re-
spectful sense of sport subdues the temp
tation to give him the trophy as a merited
honor
With the cup races once more in pros
pect and. significantly enough. with the
same Shamrock " and Resolute which
were to have competed in 1914, the i'm
preston that we are at last getting back
to normal is spiritedly speeded.

MORE EVIDENCE

TN POTTSVlLLE and other coal region
towns and cities street railway traffic is
not SO heavy as it is in Philadelphia. Nor
is efficiency in trolley service SO imperative
necessity. Yet the street car companies
have voluntarily abolished the skp-stop
introduced at the suggestion of the fuel
administration, as it was introduced in
Philadelphia to conserve coal when coal
was war essential
1t was found in the coal regions that
the skip-stop was an annoyance to the
public and that the system did not operate
to conserve any considerable quantity of
fuel. Baltimore reports a similar result
ana a similar decision. The experience Of
these cities and the testimony of corpora.
tions outside of Philadelphia ought to be
studied by the committee appointed by the
p r. T. to make a report of the skip.stop
here.

ANOTHER CITY CHARTER COMMITTEE

HNHE liStt of members of the newest city
- charter revision committee, announced
this morning by Russell Duane as a result
of last Tuesdays dinner conference, is a
roster of impeCcable respeCtability Many
of the names are familiar in important
business and civic welfare connections, and
the good faith and sincerity of such body
are beyond question.
But with all due respect, it ought to be
suggested to Mr.. Duane and Mr. Winston,
the chairman, that there should be a still
further expansion of the roll so as to
include more men with practical. first
hand knowledge and experience in the
devious ways Of municipal and legislative
politics If the effort is to be successfully
steered through the shoals of enactment at
Harrisburg
There are no members who may be said
to be truly representative of either the Re-
publican or DEM cratic party organizations
and this may prove unfortunate, because
1t will give some Of the old guard Oppor-
tunity to label the movement as merely
another emanat!on of "theorctic reform"

should be eminently nonpartisan in ITS
