Cohan has reformed, Tlio vorsatilo young nctor, playwright, song writer, slnglst, dancer und slang sllnger has begun n now drniua that Is a distinct departure, from anything ho has done in the past. C'ohni Is wrltr lug Tho play for himself. Ho expects to appear In It In tho fall. The remarkable, thing about tlio play Is that It will be a pluy that Is, It will be n legitimate drama and not a me lungo ot variety stunts strung ulong on n lno and measured off to suit tho man ager with tho price. How Cohan could norvo himself for tho ordeal of writing a real play Is dllllcult to Imagine. Evi dently ho realized that ho had got all tract with tho Portland (Ore.) univer sity. Halm Is to train tho track loam at the university and will cast nn eye in a managerial way over the candidates for teams In other branches of sport. Halm's advent nt Portland will mark u new era In sport there, as he will seek to put tho University on n footing, ath letically, with tho big Institutions of Ihe east and middle west. Some peoplo have told Halm that his hopes as to limiting Portland's ath lete natlonnl figures will require years In the fulfilling, but It Is only fair to Halm to say that If any one can .do It In a brief period ho s the man Jack Palmar Again. Jack Palmer, the Urltlsh "near lighter," who was walloped to a fruzxlo by ono of the Sullivan twins, asks the public In a lengthy epic sent to tho newspapers to think kindly of him, to blame It alt on tho sudden change of climate to believe that some time ho will appear ns n real scrupplst. Like many another lighter, Palmer looks better In print than ho does In Ilia ring. Also he seems to know' moro about press agentlsm thiin nbout lis tic maneuvers. But ho should remember that while the pen is mightier than the sword (according to tho dreamy poets) J hut docs not necessarily mean that tho pen ha3 anything on well made boxing gloves, stuffed with horse hair and bony knuckles. - At this moment It would seem to be evident, almost, if not ,ulte, that Jack would do'wellito stick to the writing game that Is, of two ways of fooling the public choose tlio easier. In other words, thoro Is nothing ac tually ludicrous about Palmer except Palmer himself. Those Columbia Football Reports. Many and, various and likewise dl verslnod nro the reports that Columbia university will allow Its young and lusty sluggers to play football next fall. Just, why Columbia should con cern Itsolf about this real sport Is not qulto plain. Ono' would almost Imaglno that a Columbia football team would add something to tho interest of the annual gridiron campaign. Ono would utmost think that iho public cared to view the brandjof football put up by Columbia In tho past. "Why not, fair Columbia, let the dead past kcop deud tho dead ones of -the past? Football has had a good many hard knocks of late, and it Columbia takes up tho game ngain there will bn only ono thing left to happen to It to have President Koosovclt cull tho.gumn "un truthful." . i BEN TAVIS.

As for stories, I'm willing to wager I hold the record of America for rejected manuscripts. 1'vo had moro stories rejected than any man In tho United States. Once I tried to sell a story to every editor 1 could think of, and hod It refused on all Hides, until I finally sold It to a newspaper for tho sum of S6.G0.'
