II is impossible TO subscribe 10 the statement
that American colleges do not at heart be-
leve IN the English amateur ideal. I am Of the
opinion that our amateur ideal is quite high
as that in England. and that it is inherent in
all true sportsmen and has not been doing
duty as 'hand-me-down." If the English
amateur ideal, or any amateur ideal is undemo-
cratic-Which. by the way. does not appear ap-
plicable-then it would be well for all amateur
sportsmen 10 be undemocratic to the end of
the chapter. 1T is quite as honorable for a man
who has athletic ability earn his way through
college by means Of It as 1t is for him TO do 50
by any other means" II certainly is; but not
at the expense Of sowing the seed Of CONNER
cialism among his college mates or Of casting
discredit his college on the ground Of pro-
fessionalisrn. As ] said before in this column.

work hardship to a few, but this is more than

who made voluminous report on the subject
70 the Intercollegiate Athletic Association Of
the United States last December, when he said:
Between the professional and the amateur
the distinction is one OF motives. Amateurism
is the flower of one Of the most fundamental
Of animal and human instincts-play.
Because Of its peculiar dual professional and
amateur character. baseball has produced an
other intolerable athletic situation and again
exposed an athletic apotheosis and destroyed

The validity Of the amateur law is involved.

"THE JUDGMENT"
Subject of Sermon at Baptist
Church-Best of Series.

Subject of Sermon at Baptist
ChIrch-Best of Series.
"The Judgment" was the subject OF
the sermon at the Baptist church last
night. Evangelist Bledsoe took for
his text, IF the Righteous Scarcely
be Saved Where Shall the Ungodly
and the Sinner Appear" I Pet. AIS,
He showed with what difficulty
men We're influenced to turn from
sin to God. If those who are saved
are persuaded to turn to salvation
with such difficulty, when shall the
ungodly appear?
His answer was that the Judgment
awaited them. The man who believes
and serves God has already passed
Judgment. As to his salvation, that
has been passed upon His life will
be judged, and he will suffer loss or
receive reward according to his SER
vice for God; but his salvation is not
brought into question. That is Sc
cured when he plead guilty and Jesus
Christ paid the penalty.
But the ungodly shall stand in the
Judgment alone, without the advo-
cate, Jesus Christ. Who can stand
thus before the Judge of the whole
earth?
Evangelist Bledsoe appeared at his
best and the general verdict of the
large crowd present last night was
that the sermon was the best of the
His subject tonight is Making
Excuses"

KEEN SIGHT OF KAISER
RESTORES LOST SHIRT

Berlin.-Nothing is too insignifi-
cant-not even a lost shirt to escape
the Kaiser's attention. While riding
in the Thiergarten recently Wilhelm
II noticed a clean white shirt lying
on the grass, and ordered his groom
to pick it up. 1t had apparently been
dropped by a messenger carrying
clean linen. The shirt was sent to
the lost property department, and
marked, Finder, His Majesty the
Emperor and King" This is by no
means the first time the department
has had charge of lost property found
by the Emperor.

property. The dispute ran from
skin Poplar Gap to the Mercer line

The dispute was settled in favor oil
Raleigh county, which gets all the ter
ritory disputed, amounting to several
thousand acres OF fine coal and timber
land. The dispute arose from the
fact that an act OF the legislature was
enacted tn 1872. but inadvertently was
not printed and was not a matter OF
record. senator Meoreery happened
to remember it And on Information
from him the authorities aslyed Into
musty archives and found tfe Original
act, which practically settled the dis
pute. as this act established and fixed
the line by explicit meters and bounds
and landmarks.
