The Western Conference intercollegiate
association is the seat Of reform in college
sports. Many OF the laws enacted in that
association later have been adopted in
other sections. An altogether new thing
now Is proposed, and by A. A. Stage OF the
University OF Chicago. He wants to have

the second institution men who come from
another college. The present regulation is
that men coming from another university
must be in residence for an academic year
before they become eligible, and then may
not play II they have had three years OF
varsity competition in their first institu-
ton. Generally, however, there is no OBJ
lection to a man who has become eligible
properly through his year of residence tax
ing part in sports.
The one-year rule is designed to bar the
athlete tramp. In other days some men
tried as many as three colleges in turn,
leaving one to go to another as they saw
ut. Under the old system, or lack OF sys-
tenn, they became eligible the moment they
paid their fees in the college they entered.
1t was a very bad thing, indeed, because 1t
led to all sorts of actual corruption. 1t
was the sort OF cOITupllOH that toulu nv

the athlete In question was supposed 20
nave enough money to put him above be-
ing bought. But it worked out in many
cases just as If the man were a profess
sional ball player trading his allegiance for
interest and conducting himself in sport
altogether as II he were a pro and nothing
else.
One-Year Rule il Forced.
Later on when the demand for some re-
came strongest the one-year rule wal put
in force. This, together with the fresh.
man rule, put an end, it Is assumed. tc
the old type of floa ing. However, it IL
within the possibilities that a man good
enough to be valuable to a college athletic
association might even be maintained 8
year in the institution, with the surety
that eventually he would take his placS
on the varsity team in the particular sport
in which he excelled to an extent to make
it worth while to keep him on. This pos

folks who do not know how Jealous alumni

The ball player of the present day Is a
business man In very many cases. He is
laying up snug competencies from his
plethoric pay envelope. Very many OF
them are in positions where they could
safely quit playing IL they wanted TO-. And
this suggests another thought and that is
that the frugal, diligent businesslike ball
player OF today Is easier to deal with from
the managers standpoint than was the
tree-easy fellow OF the past. Big salaries
and SINUS fortunes do not turn his head and
make him arbitrary in the matter of con-

blacklisted players today as compared with
that OF by-gone years Is a testimony itself
to the fact that present conditions are salu-

Louisians can recall a year when a whole
team OF all star big-leagers, with Jack
Rowe ana Jack Gleason. brother Of old

IN MEMORY OF E. |. JORDAN
MONUMENT WILL BE UNVEILED
IN GLENWooD TOMORROW.
Tributes Will Be Paid by Messrs.
Gompers, Powderly and President
Foley Of the Plate Printers.

The plate printers of the District of
Columbia have completed arrangements
for the unwilling of a monument to the
memory of e. l.. Jordan, in Glenwood
cemetery, this city, tomorrow. Mr..
Samuel Gompers. president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, will deliver an
address. and Mr.. r. V. Powderly will be
orator of the day.
f. l.. Jordan was prominent in the af-
fairs of his craft for many years in this
District. having been employed in the
bureau of engraving and printing. and
was largely instrumental in bringing
about the present organization among the
plate printers. He was a member of the
Business Mems Association. Evidence of
considerable literary ability were fur
nished by the publication of a number of
poems in the daily press from time to
time.
The movement for the erection of a
monument to MIR. Jordan's memory was
begun at the time of his death, and a
handsomely carved stone now marks his
grave.
In addition to the addresses delivered
by Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Powderly, the
international president of the plate print
ers' organization, William Foley of BoS-
ton. will speak, having been instructed
by the convention of the plate printers in
July to pay tribute from the plate print
ers of the United States and Canada. Mr..
Jordan was an active Elk, being a mem
Der If the Alexandria, Va. lodge, and it
is expected that large number of the
members of the lodge will be present.
Appropriate musical numbers will be
sung by the Schubert Quartet. Exer-
cises will begin at 4:3O clock.
AS Mr.. Jordan was an active worker in
labor circles. organized labor will be well
represented.

upon by the orators. The personality and
the many qualifications of the democratic
candidate for President were described by
several speakers, one of whom predicted
the overwhelming defeat of the republican
party in New York state. declaring that
the next governor of that commonwealth
would be a democrat.
Bryan and Jefferson.
The principal address was made by Maj.
Mcdowell Darlington, president of the
Confederate Societies of Washington. He
is a native of the south and in defining
the position of that section in the cam
pagn said: 1.-THE solid south will remain
intact because it realizes that not only
the south, but the north as well. will ben
eft by democratic administration. which
will stand for the Jeffersonian doctrine
that the people are able to rule them
selves rather than for the Hamiltonian
idea that the people need to be cared for
by a centralized governing body. Bryan
stands for the strongest and best of the
Jeffersonian doctrines
In his speech upon some of the prin-
ciples of democracy, Gen. Yoder criticised
the republican platform and the policies
of the republican nominee. Speaking of
Secretary Root and the recent New York
republican convention, he said:
The other day very elegant and fine
ly educated gentleman, the Secretary of
State, made a speech and it has been
quoted to me several times since. He
said that when Mr.. Bryan says that mill
lions of the American people can be in
1uenced and corrupted he is libeling them.
You know what took place in that repub
lican convention-the band, knowing the
history of Root; knowing that he knows
how New York Is carried often. and how
