Warning TO Amateurs.
This scheme Of monthly publication in
the newspapers was one advocated last
year. but was never put into active
practice. Considerable confusion has
been caused in the past by the fact
that the lax supervision OF the A A Z.
over the South Atlantic territory re-
suited in pros. and amateurs becoming
mingled In ali sorts Of games and on all
sorts OF teams. When the amateurs
were called 10 account for playing with
pros they were wont to plead ignorance
Of their fault, and got away with it in
great shape Now that the names are
to be published at stated intervals
every man Will know the standing Of his
team mates. ani will not be able to hand
the registration committee the I-didn't-
know-he-was-a-Pro. talk with any de-
gree Of success

and managers TO make their matches
more in conformity wilh the champion
/ ship weights, fl is thought the games
will he closer and more interesting for
] both spectators and players. Some time
will be required 10 implant this idea
/ firmly. but il is expected TO grow rap
| idly after once grasped, and produce
/ hot competitions for championship hon
/ ors in every district Of the A. A. T., and
/ in all the larger cities.
] Also. by balancing the weights. there
/ Will not be so many chances for injuries
/ by little teams foolIshly tackling those
