Editor World: Replying to the letter of
'Sporticus' which appeared in Mondays World;
his point liz we'll taken and his query very likely
reflects the thoughts OF thousands of others
whose feelings OF sportsmanshlp have been out
ragged
In any contest involving skin. endurance or
both, when directed and engaged in by human
11eu,sS 1Is ueIu 10 ai"ays room ior an eIenent OF
doubt or skepticism, 1t Is this ever-present
question which inspires the "rawhiding" OF n
baseball umpire, the cries of fake" at IA boxing
contest and the accusation of "frameup" at a
horse race
The inference Of crookedness exists regardless
OF the integrity Of character of the participants
IN the contest, because the opportunity for
crookedness presents Itself. There caR be no
fraud without opportunity.
70 unquaiifedlE condemn all sports as I'M
piled by "Sporticus" because some sports have
become tainted would be unreasonable as to
condemn all money because some money is
counterfeit. However, his plea for honest
sportsmanship Is pertinent and not without some
foundation.
It is deporabe that the incentive OF victory
the satisfaction OF being "A winner is not always
sufficiently strong in the realms OF sport to
offset the temptation OF easy money"
Far from any intent of being the modern

evidently sincere search for sport untainted
by downright dishonesty" would flguratively
and literally advise "Sporticus" to go to the
dogs" There shall he find that honesty which

I speak advisedly and refer specifically to
The. ,hs greyhound races as conducted at Emery
vile. Calif, n suburb of Oakland. Ever since
last May the dog races there have Increased In
popularity until they have taken a firm hold
on the public favor, principally for the reason
hat the races are absolutely above all suspicion
and from the very nature Of the contests are
free from every human influence.
At Emetyville the dogs are weighed. classed

THE CONSPIRACY uSMasKED

Governor cox continues 70 be the most effec-
! tive campagncr Senator Harding has. In Civ
! ing publicity 30 the cable correspondence be-
! tween President Wilson and William n. TAFT,
! while the former was busly occupied In getting
| his country into scrapos' at Versailles. tho
democratic nominee performed genuine and
| praiseworthy service.
FOR that correspondence proves beyond the
poradvcnturc of a doubt tho charge Oft repeated
during tho past - months that the league Is
IN tact a gigantic conspiracy OF bipartisan aspect
10 involve this nation IN scheme for the ad d.
vantage or forces that are even yet under cover
This Wilson -Taft correspondence shows that
10 was never ut any time the disposition Of
either one the other to cure the document
of existing dcfccts but TO fool those who critI-
riscd It and force their adhesion TO It through
the power OF public opinion.
you need have no uncasncss about my
yielding ANYTHING with regard 10 the em-
bodimcui of the proposed covenant In tho
trcnty" the president cabed his cu-workcr
and bipartisan sympathizer at homo.
TO be sure not The lntcrnationnists had in
sisted that the covenant be so intertwincd In
iho peace treaty that separation would bo inn
possible, 80 that tho universal demand for peace
would force tho senate even against its viii to
ratfy the treaty and thus give peace to the
world
Then Taft proceeds to instruct the apostle
abroad to how best fool the folks At home.
III you bring back the treaty with the league
of nations In It," he cables "do thus and so"
And again the ex-presdent cables his colabor-
ntor that the republican senators are attempt
ing to stir up anxiety" and suggests what to
do In order to "cut the ground from under
them"
II is pleasing. too. though not surprising to
lind that this a. Lawrence Lowell. president OF
Harvard. who declared that "thc constitution
was great document in its day. but 10 also
we're the ten commandments" likewise contrib
uted to tho correspondence with suggestions for
the betrayal Of his country.
What Governor Cox hoped to accomplish by
giving publicity to this significant correspon-
donce we do not know, but we do know that he
has performed n splendid service to this coun-
ry In doing 40. We now know the conspiracy
hat was going on over those cables, which the
president had thoughtedly commandeercd be-
fore he set out on his adventure. and we are
humiliated to discover that not alone our presi-
lent, but also our only living ex-president and
he president OF one of our greatest institutions
II learning, were plotting to circumvent the
ust national aspirations and patriotism OF their
people.
Mr. Taft may support Senator Harding IL he
desires to do 80, but The World has no hcsitancy
is saying that his place is behind Cox and that
1t would feel relief II he would bolt the repubu-
can ticket Too amply has he demonstrated that
he is out of sympathy with the republican party
and Its program OF Americanism.

WHALE CHAMPION JUMPER
Sea Mammal Breaks all Records for
High Leaps.

From Answers, London.
If you were asked the question:
What animal can jump the high
est? you would, in all likelihood,
guess wrong 1t is the whale.
Oh, yes, the whale is an animal
not a fish, and he can jump out OF
the water to a height Of % feet
with the greatest OF ease. This Is
about twice as high as the tiger
who can manage 121s feet to u
feet. A dog has been known to
clear ten feet, and the horse follows
next with feet sla inches.
Mans record high jump was
made in 1914 by a Californian, who
reached feet 5-16 inches In 1919
the tremendous height of feet 5s
inches was attained for the standing
high jump, though in 1892 a man
reached 6 feet, with weights, at this
jump.
AS regards the long jump, with
out weights, the record, "a feet ia
inches, was made in 1901, and II
has now stood for nearly 90 years.
The longest jump backwards Nith
weights, Is IL feet IL inches ara
the holder OF this record also holds
that of the standing long jump OF
l2 feet / X inches without weights

kangaroo TO hold the record. but ne

long jumps, how about the grass.

THE WALL OF THE AFTER DINNER

Copyright 1920, by Edgar A. Guest)
Think not that l too bitterly complain

I'm glad to bear my portion OF It's strife
To know the rugged highways ana the rain,
The dIsappointmcns and the clouds OF

which come at times to test and try me
out
But. friend o. mine, of you now bcscech.
Don't call on me To make a little speech.
Let me sit here and eat my evening meal
without that inward throb of fear and
dread;
Let me be gay while l am breaking bread
And know the charm OF fellowship is real;

And not be deaf ana lost to all OF Il:
Let him who likes the job get up to preach,

And spends his evenings bitterly alone,
Friends never come to make their friend

And yet sometimes | think | envy himl

Jupiter and Mars are in benefic
aspect today, according TO astrol-
ogy Uranus Is strongly adverse
The lunation OF this day takes
place with the Luminaries in the
third house applying to the sextile
of Mars. This Is read as beneficial
to railways and Is believed to in
dicate increased efficiency and bet
ter working conditions.
The rising position of Neptune in
square to Mercury and Venus IN
the fourth house Is held to presage
increase OF vice and immortality.
There is sign said to fore
shadow many religious movements
toward broader usefulness. New
sects or cults will gain ground.
All the indications seem to prom
ise increase OF trade and extension
of commerce.
Venus and Mercury in the fourth
denote a mild autumn that is long
IN duration. There will be sudden
cold following almost summer
weather
Warning is given that much ILL
ness may mark the winter and the
best sanitary conditions should be
demanded in every center OF popu-
ldtion.
The forecast for labor Is most
encouraging, for there will be great
advances in the course of the next
presidents administration.
Defeat for a United States Senator
who has been unfriendly to the in
forests of western women whom
he represented Is prophesied, for
his horoscope contains aspects de-
noting the end OF public work.
The scers declare that congress
will show many changes In MEM
bership the lower house having new
representatives from many south

While women will exercise tre-
