Rufianlsm seems bound to creep into
any pastime in time If It is played by
professionals. Il is an invariable rule,
to which few, II any, exceptions can be
found, that the golden age Of any sport
Is comprised by the period in which II
is played purely by amateurs. BY

interest in baseball were before the in

than anything else to kill of interest

the summer game, It was recently used
IN a dastardly manner in an unproyoked
assault on the umpire during game Of

College football has for several years
past drawn far larger crowds and
aroused more enthusiasm than any
other sport. The reason for this Is OBJ.
vious The game is played strictly on
It's merits, and the players get no Pc
cuniary remuneration for taking part
In a word, II Is an amateur sport in the

Speaking Of Major Taylor It is not
generally known that there are two
well known professionals in this coun-
try whom the colored phenomenon has
never defeated in a race. One OF these
is "Old Kaintuck" owen Klmble Of
Louisville. It is said that Taylor pre-
ferred TO meet any other man in a race
than the tall Kentuckian, Kimbes
blood always rebelled at the thought Of
being defeated by a colored rider and
on this account when In a race In which
Taylor was also a contestant he always
rode like a yeritable fend, and when
Kimble put all his energies 10 1t he was
practically unbeatable At any rate,
Taylor could never get his wheel home
in front,
The other man Taylor never defeated
Is Tom Butler When cycling was In It's
prime some years ago and Taylor and
Butler were doing the circuits the lat
ter was specially enjoined by the firm
for which he rode that he must always
manage to cross the tape ahead Of Tay-
lOr The latter soon caught on 10 But
lers game, and It resulted in some in
teresting duels on their wheels. In one
particular race the spectators were
amused to see, when the first bunch Of
riders crossed the track and the race
was really over Taylor and Butler
nearly a quarter Of a mile behind. Nel-
Their seemed to be aware that the con-
test was over, and both were jockeying
away as II they were the only two men
In the event The spectators at once
caught on and cheered the two men in
their endeavors. The real winners Of
the race we're forgotten In this bit Of
byplay which ended as usual in Butler
coming home ahead OF his dusky rival.
