There must be notifications of these
principles, especially of the amateur
clause.
This position cannot be maintained
without the support of the great ma
jority of school and college men. This
support can be secured by showing two
things: (a) That the law is necessary
to protect seekers after pleasure, recre-
alton and exercise, with all their edu-
cational implications, as against the
mere seekers after material gain. 1t
must be shown that the rule is valid,
which will require clear demonstra-
tions and an educational campaign.
OBJ That the future athlete can be
protected from ignorant. technical
violations of the law through a dis
semination of information concerning
the meaning and purpose of amateur
ism and by creating a national board
of eligibility, with power of reinstate-
ment. If the present amateur rule be
supported and baseball be retained as
an intercollegiate game there must be
an agreement concerning policies. "a
There must be an agreement concern
ing the practice of college teams play

sional teams, or any team other than
college teams under faculty control,

dents playing on teams under other

BURNS FAVORI7E
OVER PALMER
EVEN BRlTONS ARE SLOW TO BET
AGAINST AMERICAN
Tommy Says the Bout Will Be Short,
as Some Money Is Awaiting
His Attention in
France
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-Tommy Burns,
the American heavyweight pugilist,
who will meet Jack Palmer of New
castle tomorrow for the heavyweight
championship, has been forced to fore
go a part of his usual training during
the past week owing to a severe cold
and a strained tendon in the right
foot, but he is confident of his ability
to make short work of his opponent.
The American is still a strong favor
lite in the betting. Even the north
countrymen, who are noted for the way
in which they will back an Englishman
against a foreign fighter, are asking
long odds before laying their money.
They have offered. however, to place
$4,000 at 2 to that Palmer will stay
six rounds. Burns hackers have not
taken this bet. but Burns nevertheless
believes the fight will not last longer
than that. He said today that he in
tended to make the fight as short as
possible, as he has an engagement 10
give a number of exhibitions next week
and must get into shape again for the
fight in Dublin on March II, for which
Richard Croker, the former Tammany
leader and one of the hackers of Jem
Rowe, the Irish champion whom Burns
will meet, is returning from Egypt.
Palmer is credited as being a some
what better fighter than Gunner Moir,
whom Burns put away in ten rounds,
but has a reputation for hitting low, IL
being or an alleged foul blow that NOR
was given the decision over him when
last they met.
The betting at the club Is to in
favor OF Burns. Robert Watson, a
sporting writer whom Burns wanted
as referee in his fight with NOR, will
act in that capacity in the fight tomor-
row.
Burns has been offered $4,000 to go
to Paris in April to meet a French

MEXlCO'S LATEST BANDIT
AWAITS DEATH SENTENCE
TIGER OF SANTA JULIA HAS MANY
NoTcHED GUN
Did Wanton Killing Of Rurales and
Gendarmes Just to Spill
BIood-Cornered
at Last

Returning tourists from Mexico tell
of the jubilation that is felt there over
the fact that Pedro Negrete, known as
1.-The Tiger of Santa Julia" is about to
be tried for his bloodthirsty acts.
Under the preliminary review of the
career of this noted bandit five death
sentences and twenty years imprison-
ment await him for his latest crimes.
Negrete is now confined in the peni-
teniary at the City of Mexico.
Among other charges are the assas-
sination of a gendarme and a rurale,
the shooting of rurale and the as
sassnation of two citizens. besides at
tacks on policemen and on haciendas.
Negrete first attacked the hacienda
de Aragon, fatally wounding the chief
employe, merely to get $50 worth of
tools.
At Tacuba he assaulted a policeman
to prevent him from arresting man
whom he did not know.
Negrete and two others found
Leonard Enriquez drinking at the par
at Santa Julia and quarreled. Negrete
and his two friends told Enriquez 10
go home and get a weapon, but Just as
the man entered his courtyard Negrete
shot him dead. Two rurales chased
the trio and the bandits hid behind a
clump of magueys, bordering small
canal. The rurales dismounted to
search the brush and Negrete and his
pal, Pedro Herrea, fired, killing one
rurale and wounding another. Ihey
wounded Herrea and killed the third
desperate, but Negrete, with his usuai
luck, escaped.
Negrete kept on the go continually,
n number of women who feared him
assisting in concealing him.
Francisco Chavez, second chief OF
the detective force, ran him down near
Mixcoac. The bandit was surrounded
before he could use his pistol, lying
near by, the officers pointing their
pistols at him, and he was taken TO
Belen and later to the penitentiary 10

MEELICK TO
MAKE DEBUT
HILDRETH'S CRACK COLT GOES
IN HANDICAP
Must Beat Such Clever Mud Perform
ers as Magazine, C. w. Burt and
Harvel to Win Nice
Purse
nY 1RvING B. CLEMENT

Dig down deep for your mud dope, as
the track will be a quagmire at Santa
Anita this afternoon. An exceptionally
good card is offered, with the Orange
handicap as the feature. The race
going public will have chance to see
the Sis, 900 beauty, Meelick, for the first
time at this track, and such good ones
are opposed to him as Magazine, c. w.
Burt, Harvel, Smirker and Sparkles.
AS the program has a lot of mud
runners carded the blue pencil VIII
probably have not much to do and big
fields should face the starter in the
majority of the events.
Sixteen are carded to go over the
five-furlong route with scale weight
up, and some of the clever heavy
weight riders will have chance 10
show their ability. This should be
hotly contested race the entire journey,
as the field is well matched, and such
good ones as Mary Glenn, Rey del
Mundo, Firm Foot, Virginia Lorraine
Lady Kitty, Search Me and many
other good ones will start.
Two-year-olds are asked to go three
and a half furlongs in the second race.
and clever mud performers like Anti
och, Colored Lady, Madeline Musgrave,
Aunt Aggie and Marion Delorme VIII
meet. A good post rider will have the
advantage in race like this, as ne
will be in a position to pick the best
going after getting away.
A mixed lot of three-year-olo
maidens will start in the third number,
a seven-furlong affair, and it is an
open race that should result in close
finish. Lake View did well the first
out and ran like a good one Henry
of Shennamere should show improve
ment over his last race, as he met with
hard luck. Waldorf is a slow beginner
but likes the route. The Hammer is
a good looking youngster and speedy.
STRAIT Martin can do better than his
last out.
Handicap Is Feature
The feature event of the day is the
Orange handicap, which brings out the
best sprinters at the track. and the
way Secretary Smith arranged the
weights will keep all the handicappers
guessing as TO the ultimate winner.
Meelick will sport the colors of S. c.
Hildreth and Dugan will ride. Maya
zine is r. F. Carman's representative,
and Burns will probably be up. c. w.
Burt belongs to r. l.. Thomas and
Shilling will be pilot. L. u. De Amman
owns Harvel and Preston rides.
Smirker belongs to F. Regan and is
clever mud performer. This should
be hotly contested race as all entered
are speedy and game.
Sam Bernard, Box Elder, Ellie,
Liberto and Nadzu will meet in the
mile and q quarter race, and 1t should
result in good sport as no one can run
slower than the other. The best TO 40
here is watch the leaders splash mud
i'm the others faces.
A -furlong dash for non-winners
at the meeting winds up the days
sport, and such good sprinters as Cos
siper II, Black Mate, Pal, Lady Vashti
and Columbia Girl are carded to start.
AS the field is big one the ones hold
ing positions near the rail will have
the best of it.

PROFESSOR AIDS
SUMMER BALL
SAYS COLLEGE BOYS SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO PLAY
Missouri Pedagogue Argues That Pay
in the Summer Is Not Pro-
fessionalism in
Winter

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The question
of summer baseball for the members
of the university teams is one when
has troubled the dictators of college
athletics for some time, and 1t has re-
ceived considerable attention both from
the Intercollegiate Athletic association
of the United States and the smaller
body, the western college conference.
At the recent meetings of these bod
les exhaustive reports on this phase
of the sport were submitted but APP
parently that is as far as the action
went Professor G. w. Hetherington
of the University of Missouri has come
forward with much writing on this
subject, and some of his thoughts are
worthy OF consideration by those who
have the disposal of college athletics
in their hands. He says
Baseball stimulates the most Seri-
Gus violations of the amateur rule,
first, from the standpoint of frequency
of occurrence; second, from the stand
point of conflicting opinions concerning
the seriousness of the infractions, and
from the standpoint of differences in
the remedies suggested for lettering
conditions. Nowhere in the whole dis
cussion of college athletic problems is
the craving for relief from responsible
ity so clearly shown. Because of its
character baseball has produced an
other intolerable athletic situation and
destroyed finally the faith of many in
the amateur law.
Is Not Professionalism
There are those who argue that
playing summer baseball is not profess
sionalism. A professional is one who
makes his living by playing ball.
Summer players do not make their liv-
ing in this way. Making a few dollars
here and there does not make a pro-
fessional in anything. This is quib-
bling on a word. The question is not
how much a man receives, but what
effect his being allowed to receive any
thing has on the development of ath-
letics. The issue is squarely between
athletics as a force in the lives of
young men and athletics for the spec
tator. Some argue that many baseball
players must make their way through
college. If they are not allowed to
play summer baseball they will have
to labor in the harvest field 1t is
only an act of humanity to give them
this easier opportunity to make neces-
sary money for an education. Now.
there is absolutely no objection to col
lege men playing on summer teams.
They have right to all the money
benefit they can get through their skill
in the game; but when they exercise
this right have they also the right to
play on the college team? This larger
right Is questioned.
Present Evils in System
"The present evils connected with
secret professionalism cannot be toll
Grated; one or the other of the two po-
sitions must be assumed: (a) Either
there must be broader agreement
among college authorities concerning
the principles upon which baseball, as
well as all intercollegiate athletics,
