A Boom for Amateurs.

The recent feaJs of amateur athletes are to
me the most pleasing signs in sporting affairs,
because they will do much toward popularizing
Ams'eur contests throughout the country. For
the sake of sport and fot tine success of anna
teurism 1 would, indeed, like to see Carey's
record be accepted. l don't hesitate to say
that in recent years professionalism has done
more TO ruin, and even degrade, good and
honest sport than years of labor will redeem.
don't even exclude baseball. In that branch
Of sport, which has degenerated into business,
it seems to me that professionalism is on its
trial, and that from now on much care need be
eXercIS d or else the entire business will be
honelessly ruined. Well, nothing will prove
such powerful antidote to the poisons of
professionalism as the success of the
amateurs. / have had a strong love
for professional sports for very many years.
but the present tendencies of the pro-
fesSionalism of to-day in almost every branch
Of sport is of downward course. This is
sweeping sertion. but if we take the trouble
to examine each branch we will discover its
truth to the fullest extent. During the last
few years amateurism, particularly in the
United States, has made very rapid strides
There are now hundreds of amateur performers
where there were not scores, and this being the
case we need not be surprised to find an i'm
provement in quality. Human nature is not
stationary; we must either go forward or
backward, and with amaTeurism increasing in
popularity We ought to expect to find an i'm
provement in amateur talent

forgery case. in which o. s. McCausIand is
charged with the forgery and J. 8. Cook as an
accessory before the fact. was continued before
Justice Patrick this morning. Judge Galushs
Parsons represented the state, and W. H. Doo-
little the defendant, Cook. F. o. Cheezum was
put upon the stand for the prosecution, and
from his ramb bling statements as TO how he
came into possession of the property and the
transfer to the Des Moines Land Company, it
would seem that clear title does
not exist, only that which rests in
the original owner, John Moore, ST., who
has been an inmate of the Steilacoom asylum
for nearly twelve years. He testified that he OBJ
tst1sa the deed through 3 man named James
Bell, OF Seattle. and paid him $500 for it. He
had the deed in his possession four months be-
fore placing it on record. This deed was re-
ceived at the time that he thought John Moore,
ST., was dead. At the time of receiving the
deed from John Moore, jr., he had been in pos
session of the property for over year. He did
not know just where John Moore, jr., could be
located, but thought that he could be found
without much difficulty.
After taking Cheezums 8 testimony the case was
continued until July 80
