P4LTRY PASTIINE

A London publication has discovered what is
wrong with English athletics. It's editor has observed
that England plays second fiddle to the United States
at polo third the United States and France at
lawn tennis, cut poor figure in the Olympic games,
and has even lost out in It's game of cricket be-
ing de1eaed year after year recently by Australians
And why? he does not nlnce words IN answering
that question. England has sunk into this sad state
a because the talents and enthusiasm that we ought
to devote to real games have been wasted on tnat
lazy, selfish, paltry pastime OF golf.
He should debate that with Scotchman in the land
where golf is considered real game" Or with any
devotee of the game in any land And IN the mean
time let him take heart. The lnsdious lnflu-
ence that he feels has undermined EnglandS athletic
prowess is at work in other lands. There more golf
in the United States than before. Soon, when
golf is universally played by old and young, rich and
poor all the nations Will be equal footing again
as they compete in the more strenuous recreations.

BUREAUCRATIC GOVERNMENT

Senator Borah declares that we are building up
in this country the arbitrary expensive and met
ficient form of government that ever existed lie
refers to the bureaucratic system at Washington.
No political party he says, seems willing to
stand against this subtle revolution, against this un
American undemocratic program There is not
practice custom habit but must soon be censored
from Washington there is not in all the relationships
of parent and child, of family and home anything
suf1lcentIy private sacred to exempt It from the fur
tive eye OF the special agent
The senator probably exaggerates in his zeal but
the tendency he indicates Power IS concentrated
more and more in Washington.
Yet there is no blaming the government, for it.
The responsible party is the private citizen at home
Power gravitates to Washington because local
governments allow it. If villages towns, cities, coun-
ties and states will take OF the duties that prop
erly belong them they need have no fear OF losing
their liberties.

The COMNON SCOLD

They're trying another woman in New jersey as
common scod'' under law dating from colonial
times The law has been almost obsolete IN recent gen.
erations-the records show only TWO prosecutions
under it in so years Still there are in New Jer
sey who think it ought to be kept alive and applied
freely
It's an interesting commentary on human nature
that ancient law. A philosopher might wonder why
it was applied only to women. Perhaps the answer
would be that men made the laws in oden days-and
still do.
Feminisrn may change that There are male scolds
as we'll as female and what they lack in numbers they
often make up in vigor If there are more scolding
women than scoldng men, possibly it is because wo-
mems tempers are more harassed than mems Many
man learns this for first time when he tries staying at
home looking after the house and taking OF the
children for few days.

THE YOUNG NEW YORKER

Fate comes to certain lad in the American me-

John was one of Is boys chosen by the board of

six others of the Is he will have the honor of going

Here is something worth pondering, especially by
those who foolishy assume, that there be good
in igrants-forgetng that all Americans are the
offspring of immigrants. John Sciuto may really be

American he is New Yorker. For it is spirit, rath

SEATTLE, June 20.-Twenty-five
straight and then a defeat. that
is the record Of the Pacific Coast
Torpedo Station at Keyport, but
Pitcher Al Jennings could only
count twelve.
Last Monday he was counting.
There's one. There's two: that
makes three, and SO on.
But he was not counting base
ball games, but rather baseball
suits. that he was laundering for
his mates.
For a couple of weeks ago tho
team had built its winning streak
close to the twenty mark, so they
made the agreement that the first
pitcher to lose a game must laun-
der the suits. Last Sunday, after
the Torpedo Station had been beat
en- in ten innings by the Wander
ers, the players undressed in their
shower room, and solemnly turned
shirt, socks. pants, ETC., over to
the beaten twirler, who, without a
word, gathered them up and got
ready for his scrubbing bee.

Former Students

Before many more days pass the
Philadelphia Athletics are likely to
have a complete nine composed OF
college stars. The latest acQuisi-
ton Of the Macknen is Charley
Berry, of Lafayette, a catcher.
Berry, 1t will be recollected was one
of the greatest ends of the 1924
football season. Quite q few critics
selected him on their All East teams.
Charley, who is native Of Easton,
Pa. already has reported to Connie
Mack.
Other varsity luminaries who have
joined the .Mackian standard are
Harry Griffiths. the Villanova
in the spring, and Bob Hips, a
first baseman from Furman, OF
South Carolina. While Wally Gau-
treau, the Holy Cross second base
man, says he hasn't signed with
the Athletics, such news may be
looked for shortly.
Small, the Bowdoin outfielder, who
would have been signed by a big
league club but for the fact that
he wears glasses, has Joined Roches-
ter. Lindberg, the Washington and
Lee pitcher, has joined the Giants
and Eddie Farrell, the Pennsylvania
second baseman, will report to John
McGraw in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Farrell was slated to play his
last game at Penn this week and
report to the Giants on June %,
but the injury to Lindstrom and
the fact that Frisch will not be
able to play for another fortnight,
If then, brought hurry call from
McGraw to the Penn captain.

would be unable to get away.
He has taken the matter up
with officials of the association,
who do not see any way of meet
