people of the city The bowlers, after years of ef

Feldenheimer trophy and there is little reason to be-

Amateur sport is the only legitimate sport The
professional baseball player is out at all times for
the money. He does not accept long chances at
fielding because he is playing for record that will
net him more salary The great interest in the game
however brings out in such towns as Portland crowds
of 5000 to 10000 people who pay so cents each to
watch the efforts of some professional who is trying
to make good fielding record by refusing to accept
chances that apt to result in error on his part
His interest in the contest is purely commercial

On the other hand, the amateur is striving to up

for him to undertake, either on the gridiron or on

at Portland during the present season aver the game
here week ago between the Commercial Club and
Fort Stevens teams was far more interesting than
any which they had witnessed in the metropolis
Here they watched game played by young men who
were anxious to put up the very best quality of ball
Of which they were capable; there they saw a game
played by whose interest in the sport was purely
commercial
Amateur sport is always far ahead Of professional
sport. The true interest in the game actuates the

him. In view of this fact, the people Of Astoria
should give hearty support to the athletic club, which
is just now prepared to successfully meet all comers
at any Of the three branches Of sport with which t
has taken up.
