Rev. Robson Returns.

Rev. w. M. Robson, of Marshall,
Texas, but who was years ago pastor
of the local Cumberland Presbyterian
Church and who lived in this city for
ten years or more, is holding series of
meetings here now.
Mr.. Robson, though twenty years
older than when he left here, looks but
little if any older and retains his old
time vigor and zeal. He is incidentally
meeting old-time friends and recount
ing experiences of former days on Reel
foot Lake and over the county.
No man could be more welcome
guest to Union City than Mr.. Robson,
nor is there any one who could gather
and hold larger audiences at the church
than he.
Notwithstanding the disturbed con-
dition OF things over our financial ex-
element, large audiences are attending
the services day and night and much
interest is manifested in all meetings.

and this building will be built II the
financial problem can he solved.

completed this fell. As soon as these
buildings are finished the proposed

Contracts have been let for the boat

BIG REFORM STARTED
AMONG THE AMATEURS
Menaces to Present Popularity Of the Game May Be
Removed-Ask Strict Amateurism- Players
Must Cease Jumping

A reform wave which may shake am
ateur baseball in this city TO its founda-
tons has been begun, and unless pres
ent plans miscsrry next season will find
baseball hourishing on the local sand
lots in a most healthful state.
As far back as the memory OF some OF
our oldest fans runs there has been a
slight faint TO amateur baseball in this
city, although taken altogether the stu
alton has been pictured much blacker
than deserved. 1t is true that a
certain degree Of professionalism has
thrived for many years, but no one
in particular is blamable for this situa-
ton. on several occasions individuals
have tried to find a remedy for the evil,
but the failure Of all concerned to act in
harmony has offset these legitimate re-
formers. There is p time and place
for everything, and until now the
time has not arrived for the adjustment
Of existing conditions in the amateur
leagues.
Game Is Popular.
1t is doubtful IL amateur baseball has
ever enjoyed the popularity III Wash
ington that Il does at present. The
game IS now an institution, and. on the
whole, based on sound principles; but
it is only reasonable that efforts should
be made along the line Of eliminating
the detriments. One Of these is the
faint of professionalism. The other is
the lack of power of the amateur COM
mission
For years it has been custom
among many of the local mana gers to
obtain select talent by paying for il II
no other course was left open. While
the game was in A state Of develop
ment this may have been more or less
excuse BILE. As amateurism is the next
goal to be reached this sort of thing
must 20 before perfection of the insti-
tuition can be attained. A player must
not be blamed too barshly for accepting
recOmpense for playing. Just so long
as the managers are allowed TO pay
their players for their services, just 50
long will the coin be accepted.
Players Would Stick
There can be no loss 20 the amateur
ranks entailed in the passage OF some
code Of rules which will tend 10 abolish
cash inducements. There probably
would not be single player in the city
who would give up the game IL the pc
cuniary return was cut short. A benefit
TO all concerned would doubtless fol-
low. The sport would remain az solid
as IL is today, and where at present we
have an aggregation OF stars brought
together by the alIurement Of money we
would have teams composed OF men in
the sport for fun.
This would greatly facilitate the hand
ling OF the many misunderstanding
which arise every year
A generally accepted remedy hor the
trouble lies in giving the amateur com
