ENOUGH OF ENGLISH "SPORT"
Characteristic Actions of Britishers
I'nable to Win by Fair
Means.
It Is hard to see how the Englishman
ever got nlu repntajlon for fair play
and honest sportsmanship. Frim tho
days of the Heenan-Sayers fight down
to the present moment they have playeJ
at least against Americans to win by
any means that It might be necessary to
use. The Dictionary of National Blosru
phy, a British publication, does its best
to make out the English claim in regard
lo tho Heenan-Sayers fight, which took
place In 1860. We quote:
Time and against Hayers was knocked
down by blows, each of which seemed
sufficient to finish the fight; but he al
ways returned good-humored, though s
rlous, and delivered blow after blow on
the American's eyes, while on one occa
alon he actually knocked his opponent
down. Heenan. apparently aware that in
fighting he could Kaln no advantage,
closed with Payers whenever possible, and
on one occasion got him In such a posi
tion on the ropta that strangulation waa
imminent. The ropes were cut. the crowj
broke In and the referee was forced fiom
his place; nevertheless a few more loiinus
were fought, when Heenan. who Had
hitherto fought fair, behaved In a way
which would have lost him the fight had
the referee been efficient.
Characteristically British we should say.
A great point Is niafte of the fact Sawyers
"actually knocked his opponent down,"
though It Is admitted that up to the time
the crowd broke In. In violation of all
rules. Heenan had "fought fair," and yet,
aa Justifying the action of the crow.1,
it Is said that Heenan was trying to
strangle his opponent. There was. as the
writer says, nothing unfair In Heeman's
fighting, and yet the crowd broke Into the
ring, displaced the referee, etc. You see
It was necessary for the Englishman to
win. However, the referee, who Is con
demned as "Inefficient." had the decency
to declare a draw. Even so the American
was prevented, from winning. It all reads
very much like what Is now going on In
London, with the crowd hooting the Ameri
cana, with Judges and officials breaking
into the course and declaring races void,
etc. We sincerely hope that we have seen
the last of there International contests. In
the dispatches Is this:
Certain It Is that a Yankee athletic team

will not think of Invading England until
the last memory of the present plympnld
has vanished. It Is doubtful If even tho
college crews of the I'nited States will
consider future challenges. The consensus
of opinion la that England has given her
self the blackest eye In athletics that John
Bull was ever called upon to wear.
The result will probablv be that athletic
relations between Grent Britain nnd this
country will be severed for years.
We hope that this Is true. Any uni
versity that would think of sending a crew
to England ought to be severely censured
by Us alumni and by the general public.
The whole proceeding Is disgraceful. It
ought to be but will not be humiliating to
the English to reflect that In spite of all
their unfairness they could not win. could
not defeat the despised Americans. In

JAG COURTESIESJN CLEVELAND
Reform That Looks Like Henl Thing.
In Tom Johnson's
Town.
Chief of Police Kohler of Cleveland has
evolved a new plan for dealing with In
toxicated men. In a recent article wh'ch
he contributed to Leslie's Weekly, Chief
Kchler explains his scheme as follows:
"We have broken the custom of t!n
world and the ages In Cleveland. We ar
treating men as men, even when they art
drunk, even when they diBturb the penci,
even when they Insult the dignity of a
policeman. We often make arrests, hut
even then we deal with our prisoners at
citizens. All like the change; not only
the offenders, but the police. In
toxicated persons were to be taken or sent
home, unless It seemed necessary for th
protection of their lives or their property
to confine them until sober. And In thut
case they were to bo allowed to pleal
guilty, and, by signing a waiver of trial,
let go without appearing In court. Tha
force was shown how by conscientiously
carrying out this policy they would sivs
many hours' duty In court a matter of
great Importance to the officers on night
duty and to the public when officers are
on day duty. They would save the city
thousands of dollars In wltnesa fees; much
work for the police Judges, police olerki
and court attaches; wear and tear of all
police apparatus. And they would cul
politicians and shyster layers out of their
sottrco of revenue and drive them back tJ
good, honest work mabye.
