IS PRESENT DAY AMATEUR|SM A BUNK?

But after several amateurs" had
been deprived of wigs they were
wearing, exposing his countenance
of well-known handicap sprinters to
the light, and sentences up to IS
months had been imposed by the
authorities, this thing became rare.
l don't believe the amateur def
milton in England is as fair as 1t
might be, but it bars takers and it
wouldn't be a bad idea if our A.
A. u rules were given shaking up
and some of the best points of the
English regulations incorporated.
1t is certainly time for thorough
cleansing of the amateur ranks. If
gone about honestly. without the
influence of the big eastern athletic
clubs swaying the investigators, a
number of classy amateur" per-
formers will be relegated to the
professional field. where they really
belong.

the spirit and letter of the anna
teur restrictions and who make
little on the side.'
One reason why they get away
with it is that the only penalty is
dismissal by the ruling amateur
body, when caught with the goods.
And, as usual thing, the men who
are getting the money while pos
Ing as amateurs are good enough
to go out and continue to get it in
professional company, when ex-
posed.
If we had laws such as they have
in England, which makes masque-
rading by professional as an am
ateur punishable by Imprisonment,
our amateur ranks would be more
respectable and a lot of otherwise
fine young men would not be hypo-
critics.
In the days when the Sheffield
handicap attracted the cream of
the sprinting world to England,
amateur takers were for a time
numerous. 1t got to be common for
men good enough to win off the
five or six yard mark at Sheffield,
against the fastest fields in the
world, to enter the amateur spirits
and either back themselves or have
some one back of them.

BY TIP WRIGHT,

Aren't these amateur athletes
and amateur athletic officials fun
nier than funeral? Honestly. II
comedians pulled off some of the
things that these fellows come
through with, they'd draw larger
salaries than Harry Lauder or
Alice Lloyd.
Just now the simon pure are all
het up over the suspension of Mel
win Shepard, the Olympic hero,
who was charged by the Military
Athletic league officials of Philadel-
phia with demanding more than
legitimate expenses for the New
philadelphia round trip.
Sheppard was invited to run in
some games in Philadelphia, and
was told his expenses would be
paid up to 500. 1t is charged he
wrote to the league officials that
$40 more would be necessary.
Some one has figured how much
an ordinary man could spend on
this trip, and returns $11 as the
outside expense, including liberal
tips for the length of time Shep-
pard was gone.
l don't doubt the amateur ranks
are filled with men who. If fairly

fessionals-men who have violated

LOUIE LONG AVS HE WAS
ROBBED AT VANCOUVER

Louie Long writes from Seattle
that he was handed the worst deal
of his life at Vancouver Friday
night, Referee Jimmy Hewitt,
whom Louie declares is part own
er in the club which staged the
fight between Long and Rod Stan
den, declaring it mo contest" and
all bets off. Long styles it the
easiest fight in years and states
that Standen did not give him near
iy the tussle that Eddie Merino did
in Spokane. Standen's victory
over Lauder, the Canadian cham
pion, made him look good to the
Vancouverites, particularly as he
fought at 1856 pounds against 131
for Long.
"In the third round l hooked
Standen in the stomach and down
he flopped,' writes Long. 81
dropped him eight times in the
third and fourth rounds and once
in the fourth round Referee He
witt counted eight and then came
clear over to where | was standing

not do that again.

to me, Standen would have been
counted out. l did not know what
he meant by telling me not to "do
that again. for l was pumping my
punches right into Standen's kitch-
en- and none of them were too low.
Finally, with Standen on the
floor face downward, the referee
called it no contest and the bout
stopped. The crowd was furious
and after the thing was over sports
of Vancouver came to me and said
they would back me for any
amount if got another match with
Standen. But l don't think Stan
den wants any more of my game.
II have had some raw deals in
my time fighting around in the
'bush,' but that trick turned by
Referee Hewitt Friday night just
about takes the bun and the
bakery 1t did not cost me any
thing, for l was fighting on a guar
antee, but if ever l licked a man
on the square handed it to Stan
den Friday night"
Long hopes to get another match
with Roscoe Taylor in Tacoma, and
if these two hook up the bout will
be worth seeing. He expects to be
in Spokane today or tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16.--Ar-
rangements for trans-Pacific
yacht race to be held between
some port on the Pacific coast and
a Honolulu port, are under way
here today. Thomas w. Hebron, .
former member of the Hawaii
Yacht club of Honolulu, who In
here, has been requested by tho
island organization to undertake
the work of securing entries.
Every yacht club on the Pacific
coast will be asked to enter Its
fastest pleasure craft.
1t has not been decided yet
where the race will start. but It IL
believed that the yachts will set
sail from San Francisco, although
Hawaiian people are believed to be
under certain obligations to have
the race start from San Pedro.
It is probable that the minimum
of 40 feet length will be lowered to
35 or 80 feet to permit yachts OF
smaller dimensions to enter the
