Events in the sporting world again
emphasize the uncertainty of athletic
competition, and that the champions
crown is not a permanent thing.
Those who were dethrOned in various
spheres have accepted defeat in smil-
ing mood. and the public has been i'm
pressed, not only by the skill of the
winners but also by the commendabie
spirit of the losers. The benefit to
sport is generally emphasized.
Recent weeks have witnessed sew
eral startling upsets of the dope in
the world Of sport" says the Spokane
SpokesmanReview. in tennis, in
golf, in base ball and in aquatics the

manner. 1t is the uncertainty OF sport
that makes it so universally appear

Jones defeat was the clean sweep

The papers generally comment on
the failure of the Pittsburgh and
Washington base ball teams to main

goes to show that the seats OF the
mighty are uncertain" according to
the bridgeport Post, while the Chi

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
HOld-Up Men.

HOld-Cp Men.
Where is the hold-up man of yore
Who rode a gallant steed?
Where's Robin Hood, who lived of
yore,
An outlaw scorning greed?
Around the corner bullets stray
Where bandits" speed a f1iv.
Alas! The hold-up man today
Seems scarcely fit to live!
He smells of synthetic drink,
His manners are most crude:
His grammar is what we should think
Original. but crude.
Romance has but little chance
Where motors clang and roar
And fancy brings friendly glance
Toward hold-up men Of yore.

but in the secret recesseS of their

A young man, in order to avoid the
