THE OLYMPIC
AMATEUR rule

New York. Jan. 1.-THE Revue
Olympique, the Official organ of the
international Olympic committee, de-
voted a lot of space recently to the
unification of the amateur definition,
and it frankly admits that after two
years of hard work upon the question
the agreement to a rule which would
suit all countries is well nigh impos-
sible. AS to what is to be done with
regard to the games of 1912 Theodore
Cook of England is of the opinion that
the wjsest policy to pursue is to let
the Swedish definition of the amateur
prevail at that meet. Until stand
ardized definition of the amateur is
unearthed it is better to let the coun-
try holding the games attend to the
matter.
When the international committee
started to get at the universal defini-
ton of the amateur an English sport
ing paper sent queries TO every coun-
try i'm the world asking for the opin-
ion of men Yersed in amateur sport.
Very few questions were asked of Am
orleans, and 1t was curious that those
in a position were not asked for their
views. For example, no man at the
head of the intercollegiate A A. A. A.
or the American Athletic union. the
two great governing bodies of amateur
sport in America. told what they
thought would be good all-around
definition of the amateur. The views
of a few Americans were published,
but they were useless because they
came from men who were not versed
in the modern statistics of track and
field sports or else knew little or Moth
ing about amateurism. 1t was remark
able that one or two Americans gave
opinions, and they were never inside
an athlete field in their lives or had
animation with any athletic associa-
ton on this side Of the water
In referring to the Information from
America The Revue Olympfque says:
aThe replies from the American assoc
Citations and universities are perhaps
1.-THE most interesting of all the series
in that they exempIify the variations

to the European associations but they

Hans Holmer established himself as
one of the foremost professional mara
thon runners when he outstripped, at
Edinburg, Eng, contestants from many
other countries. He has been coming
to the front as a champion distance
runner only in the last year or so
in the professional ranks. He was
born in England twenty four years
ago, but came to live in West Farms,
Bronx borough, at the age of 5. He ran
away from home at is and enlisted in
the Canadian militia; where he served
four and one-half years. 1t was in
Canada that he started his running
career as an amateur. His chief vic
tories in the Dominion were the Hall
fax Herald and Hamilton Herald road
races. although he captured several
other marathon championships at
various distances.
His first appearance in New York
was in a fifteen mile indoor race two
years ago, in which he ran only four
miles. In the big marathon at the
Polo ground in March, 1909, Holmer
led by a lap for nineteen miles, but
was forced to retire because of trouble
with his feet In the last year Holmer,
with Bill Queal, has been winning
practically every team race of note in
America. They hold the record for
twenty miles. of hour, 29 minutes, AZ
seconds, and also the marathon team
mark of hours, 2 minutes, 16 1-5 sec
onds. Holmer has the indoor record
of 1 hour, q minutes, 4-5 seconds.
The purse for the race was 6 so, but
it was big betting event Bonchard,
the Frenchman. was the favorite, and
Holmer was quoted at 5, 2 and even.
1t is said that the Yankee bet 800 on
himself. Holmer's time was more
than minutes better than the
record made by Jack Price. The
American sails for this country today
and will compete with O'Neal in a
team race at Boston, Jan. 81.

Attorneys For Eastern Trunk Lines
Consider Only Legal Phases Of

nying Increase.

New York, Fef oS.-Only the legal
railroads propose to do in the face Of
the decision of the interstate COM
MERGE commission denying increased
freight rates, were considered at the
general conference held in New York.
1t was a conference exclusively Of
general counsel. in which executive
heads and bankers, so far as can be
learned, took no part. Fifteen attor-
neys discussed the situation for sew
eral hours in the Offices Of Vice Presi-
dent A. II. Harris, of the New York
Central who is the head OF the legal
department Of the Central's lines.
After the conference Mr.. Harris
made the following statement:
"A conference of counsel Of some
of the eastern lines was held in the
New York Central Offices at the Grand
Central terminal for the purpose OF
considering the freight rate decision
handed down by the interstate com
merce commission. IL was stated that
no conclusion was reached as to the
course the companies would decide to
follow and might not be for some
days"
1t is understood that the confer
ences Of the attorneys will continue
informally for several days, without
public announcement, until 1t Is def
nitely decided what action is TO be
taken. Wall street interprets the
change in plans-that is the abandon
ment OF the general conference idea,
which was to have been in the nature
OF an indignation meeting-to a shift
In sentiment.

exception pessimistic when the decis-
ion was first made known, but subse-

and many powerful financial interests
also took this view of optimism.

SENATE IS DEAD 0CAiD
Advocates Of Tariff Board and Lorimer
Supporters Lock Horns.

Advocates Of Tariff Board and Lorimer
Supporters Lock Horns.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-The situation
in the senate reached a climax and the
arrangement OF the contending forces
on the legislative checker board is now
apparent.
The unfolding of the factional plans
finds tie senate in a deadlock, with
every prospect of the sessions Of the
remaining four and half days dc.
veloping into mere endurance tests.
The advocates Of a permanent tarin
board have locked horns with the sup
porters OF Senator LOrimer and de
cline to lel that case come to a vote
unless they are assured Of action on
the tariff board proposition.
Several friends of Canadian reel
prociiy are lowering on the outskirts
OF this situation. with the iDtimation
that they will demand action On thai
proposition before they will give theiI
consent to a vote on the Lorimei
case.
The Lorimer resolution is in fact
being held as a club over the heads
OF the tariff board opponents, and Il
is likely also to be invoked by the
reciprocity advocates. It is conceded
that fear On the part Of the LorimeT
people that their case will be thrown
over into a special session is now the
only factor that may lead to a com
promise and the averting Of an extra
session to consider reciprocity.
President TAFT has his back against
the wall and will listen to no propo
sition that doesn't provide for a free
and fair vote on the reciprocity agree
ment
