athletics for cops and firemep is
laudable. 1t is too bad the folks
over in Baltimore failed to get
the most out of their big meet.
AS a suggestion which may not
even be seen, this writer would
say that the police and firemen
everywhere should form some sort
Of athletic association! The eligi-
bility rules should be brief and to
the point that no ringers could
possibly take part. Annual COM
petition would do all participants
world of good.
Also, many a small boy would
grow up with less contempt Tor
the cop who could catch him and
give him a young tanning for
some small deviltry. This writer
is sure about this last.

ROdger II. Plppen, sports editor
of the Baltimore News, has the
following to say about last weeks
meet:
Alleged ringers won nine firsts,
three seconds and five thirds in
tie P. F. P. games in the Balti-
more stadium. These so-calleo
borrowed athletes from the Uni
versity of Maryland, Fifth Regi-
ment, Y. M. H. A., and Washing

AS Chief August Enrich, of the
fire department, remarked bitteAy
"How can we win against all
these college athletes 2
"The men hooted by followers
of the Firemen were Foote and
Walstrum of the Police, and Sax

the Post Office. Walstrum, with

alleged ringers were RESPONSE
BILE for seven of the new records
hung up.
$50 far as the Firemen were
concerned, the spirit Of the games
was killed by the importation of
college men by their rivals. The
committee in charge should have
nipped this practice in the bud.
Instead it turned a deaf ear TO
the pleas Of the Fire Fighters for
a square deal.
"Whiteford, one Of the men &C.
cused by the Firemen with being
a ringer has already announced
that he will quit his job as special
messenger and return to the Uni
versity of Maryland. If the other
men quit their positions in the
near future, every point they
scored In the meet should be
thrown out and a new count rem
dered.
"There Is something wrong with
the makeup Of a committee that
cannot keep harmony in the
ranks; that left such loophole
in the rules as to permit athletes
being given special jobs and
rushed into games; that bungled
affairs so badly that the opening
parade was half an hour late,
and that so insulted the Camp
Meade Band over the arrange
rnents it protested and was told
by Police Commissioner Gather
to go home.
1.-THE crowd was smaller this
year than last, and it will con-
tinue to diminish until the COM
mittee is made UP Of few men
who know something about track
athletics. Five hours were re-
quired to run off few track and
field events. Something rotten in
Denmark"

The Other Angle.

W Els, there's another angle to
this. How in the world can
a college athlete get any
glory out Of entering such a meet
as that held in Baltimore last
Saturday? How can he look him
self in the face when he takes
the medal or the cup awarded him
for defeating man not in his
own class as an athlete?
This writer has always admired
the apparent good physical condi-
ton of the cops in New York and
Chicago. They gave every evil
dence of good health and ability
to handle any sort Of situation.
