West Point Romance.

Next Sunday happens to be the nearest
Sunday to the Fourth. and therefore il
is appropriate that our Sunday Maya
zine of that date should publish stories
having somewhat to do with that patriotic
occasion. And. so, in line with the spirit
Of the day, the leading feature is MOLLY
Darling" a delightful West Point love
story written by Florida p. Sumerwell.
The story was so good, as well as time
ly. that 1t has been put into the prize
competition. There isn't much to say in
advance about the tale. for 1t Is one of
those that have to be read to be thor
ou.-hly appreciated.
An old army general was visiting the
military academy with his beautiful
daughter, when he encountered one of his
old associates and left the lonely girl
in the hands Of q dashing flrst-classman
to show her the sights. OF course, the
to-be officer did the honors properly. and
before he got through placed a mort
gage on the heart of the fair creature.
But he was not to get his girl SO easily,
for there had to be another competitor.
That Is what makes the story SO enter
tanning OF course. though. to relieve
the mental strain Of our readers. we are
privileged to announce that the whilom
rough road Of love did finally become
amooth for the amorous youngsters.

ST. LOUIS, June 26.-Minor league ball
players of major league attachments. or
even major league prospects, are mighty
scarce. Scout Fred Lake says so, and
he knows.
Lake has been searching the highways
and byways of minor base ball since
early spring and hasn't recommended to

single player. He has seen a few worth
while taking chance in the draft, but
nobody that is worthy of a price has
come under his scrutinizing glance.
If the Browns are to be rebuilt speed

man who shall do the job. He turned
mighty good job for John l. Taylor of
TO repeat in some measure for the
Browns.
During the last few weeks Lake has
been in New York state and New Eng
SAnd but the picking there, is very
scarce. He saw some athletes who would
do credit to the hosts of Hedges. but they
were tied up by major league clubs which
had farmed them for further instruc-
ton
Within week or two Lake will return
to the west and gaze at some players
who have been recommended to Magnate
Hedges by friendly managers hereahouts.

By "Curley" Byrd.

After considering the facts which were
brought out at the meeting Of the anna
teur commission Saturday night and
after listening to the testimony of several
Of the league presidents in regard to the
amateur investigation which has been
going on, there Is but one conclusion for
one 10 draw and that is that there should
be made no attempt to detect and punish
the men who are paying the players for
their services, and the clause in the con-
sttution which governs professionalism
should be eliminated altogether If there
is rule in any code which cannot be
enforced the best thing to do is to abol-
ish II. The dignity of the body which
makes the ruling is at stake unless that
ruling can be upheld, and when it can
not for the safety of the lawmaking
body that statute which 1t cannot en-
force should be done away with. There
is no doubt that this is the condition of
affairs in the District of Columbia in
regard to the status of the law which
governs the paying of ball players by
the teams which come under the amateur
commission.
That the practice is going on and

Cleveland paid that much for him be-

Young was no longer much more Of q

sequently Young remained with the Maps

as long as he could do as well as break

longer than that.
Young was attacked with pneumonia

the Maps. He could not work. Recover

would be able to win many more games,

salary was $500 year the Cleveland
