A POSTMASTER FOR kDlANOLA.
Continued from first pagc.J

man and her husband were held in high
esteem by the white citizens.
What rage there existed in the town
vas directed toward President RDoao-
welt.
No arrests were cvcr made and the
citizens took the best view OF a bad sill
uatioh.
The business men Of the town sub
scribcd to a fund to establish an iudO-
pendent Office. The postmaster general
ordered mail addressed to Indianola to
be forwarded to GrcenyiIlc. The In-
dianola ]postoiiicc was abolished. The
independent office fourishcd. Carriers
made two trips daily to Hcathman,
where an order was on file from all citi-
Of lndianola to deliver their mail
to the carrier. In the court house at
lndianola the independent Office was rq-
tablished.
After more than a year the president
appointed W. u. Martin, a white man,
postmaster, and the p~ostolicc at Indian.

RAN AWAY, BUT WON.

New Orleans, Dec 9.Race-goers at the Crescent City Jockey club course were treated to novelty ln horse Pac- ing yesterday afternoon in the first event. t
 Nervator ran away hile and half while on the way to the post, but ill spite of this ordeal won the contest in Ia galiop by three lengths.
 NervatOr was full of high animal spirits when he came out of the pad- dock. and on the way to the post he frisked and cavorted frequently. One of his jumps unseated Nicol, his rider Before he could be caught he ran once and, a half around the, course. Nicols wrist was badly sprained and he was unable to ride the horse. Lee was 'thereupon substituted.
 Meanwhile the runaway had caused great excitement in the ring. Nerva- tors closing price of 3 to 1 took an upward flight, and at the end 6 to l was obtainable.
 All Of his fire and dash were not lost by his spin around the track, and as soon as the barrier was released he rushed to the front like wild horse, opened up a gap of four lengths, and then won easily by three lengths from Walter Duffy.
 This exhibition of Nervator's speed and courage is one of the race occur. rences of the turf. Never before has a horse won race under like condf- fiOnR

CkESCkUS RECORD a<e ] &@~sf&'% WILL NOT STAND

Chicago, Dec 9-George H. Ketch- am, of Toledo, O., was found not gull ty of establishing a fraudulent record for his trotting stallion, Cresceus, at the Wichita QSan) track, on October 19, 1903, after hearing of the case before the board of appeals of the American Trotting association here last night. The alleged worlds record of 1.59A for the horse was thrown out. ..<>
 The board declared that the evil denee fell short of sufficiency in es- tablishing a criminal participation In the claimed fraudulent agreement for an illegitimate record, so far as, MT Ketcham was concerned.
 The persons expelled by the board besides Mir Swin were S. B. Amiden, Judge; A. c. Jordan, Fred Sterns and Fl. T. Barnes, all of whom were found by the board to have participated in the fraudulent record of the horse Cres- ceus.
 The expulsion of these officials also means that the worlds record for trotting stallions of 1.59%, claimed to have been made by Cresceus, is not allowed by the board.

THE DIAMOND.
BUSINESS OE AMERICAN .. LEAGUE MEETING

Chicago, Dec. 9-The American league concluded its work here yes terday and adjourned to meet in New York at the call Of the president, prob ally some time in February. The most sensational feature of the days ses- sion was the agreement to demand that the case of Jack Taylor, formerly pitcher on the Chicago National league team charged with having thrown game played between the Chicago American and National league clubs, be sifted to the bottom.
 c. w. Somers was reelected presi- dent and board of directors was elected comprising Boston and Phila- delphta in the east and St Louis and Detroit in the vest
 The rules again came up flor dis cussion, and while the foul strike was denounced by many and the hip and shoulder rule had several supporters the rules committee will go to the con ference with the National league un- instructed. The rule limiting each club to sixteen players was not brought up, but President Johnson practically admitted that the rule was a dead letter. rt
 A resolution was adopted amending the rule in regard to waivers, provid- ing, among other things, that waivers cannot be asked flor until after Feb ruary 1, in case of players drafted or purchased from minor leagues. The majority of the magnates left for their homes last night. The only trade that was consummated was that of Buck Freeman of Boston to St Louis for Jessie Burkett. The terms were not made public.
 1t was announced unofhcially yester- day that the Washington club would soon have a purchaser in member of the league and put money. enough there to make it good. The names of the prospective purchasers Wefes not to be obtained. The matter is practi- cally in the hands of, President John closed up satisfactorily within few son and he thinks the deal twill be weeks.
 President Johnson's contract runs for six more years, and as he is presi- dent, secretary and treasurer of his organizatio no other officers had to be elected. Boston, St Louis, Phila- delphia and Detroit were given di- rectorates.
 President Johnson's salary was raised to $10,000 year and this time he decided to accept the increase.

o,NDIL,s TEAM wITHDRAws.

It was announced in Natick Tuesday night that the Natick basketball team, which is owned by Dan O'NeiI has withdrawn from membership in the New England Basketball association. The withdrawal was not entirely un- expected, as the patronage in Natick has not been up to the mark, and the members of the team objected to a $50 fine levied by the league for the re' fusal of the Natick players to do their best work against Haverhill while the latter team had colored man in its lineup.
 The team is practically the same that represented Springneld for DOT ton of last season. It is unquestiona- bIy the finest basketball aggregation in New England, if not in the country, and was big favorite both ill western and eastern Massachusetts. It is saia that an attempt will be made by the league to keep it intact by continuing itin Natick or transferring it to Brock ton. w. s.

THE AMATEUR IN SPORTS.
He Eg One Who Plays Only For the
 Pleasure of Playing.

He Is One Who Plays Only For the
 Pleasure of Playing.
 An amateur is one who plays for pleasure only. He can play with whom he pleases, so long as he plays for pleasure alone. He may play with or against team which is being paid or playing for gate money. He may play with professionals or against them, There is no reason why an amateur should not play in any company he pleases so long us he enjoys #, pro- vided be plays only for that reason. The professional is one who engages in athletics for livelihood. This, however, would not make profession al baseball player a professional tennis player. Experience has taught that, as a rule, men who are playing for a live -lihood-that is, for money place a small value on pleasure and are ready to mar the game by quarreling, trick cry or unfair dealing. It is only when the professional hurts the pleasure of the game that he is objectionable. This is not the distinction perceived by our makers of rules, who have been so absorbed in the money, summer base ball and summer board question that they failed to notice how rapidly they were creating in the amateur world all the unpleasant characteristics of the professional the most notable of which Is quarrelsomeness and making busi- ness of 1t all.
 The colleges for their athletic inter- course need only. the common. rule. that an amateur is one who has received no compensation for his athletic skill, that those who have received such compen- sation are professionals and that pro- fessionals are barred. With all sub- scribing to this simple rule and living up to it only an agreement to meet an nually each year for certain period would be further needed. Outing.
