IN Defence Of OUR SPORT
u. S. Amateurism No Sham, Say
British Writers.
REAL COACHING ESSENTIAL
Semi. Professionalism OF the
Foreign Brand Non Existent
in America.
lBy Cable to The Tribune

London, June 30.-Sporting writer's
who continue to discuss the necessity Oh
special training for competitors in the
Olympic games, say that the results OF
the American Athletic Association cham
pionships only emphasizes the value or
proper coaching and training we
have quite a respectable team at Stock
holm" says one writer. but it is absurd
to compare IL with the United States
amateur combinations. 1t Is equally
useless to deny that We are lamentabiy
weak in some sections OF track racing
as well az I'm the field events, but the
aspect is far brighter now than 1t was
twelve months ago.
ut is an uncalled for suggestion that
other countries are encouraging sham
amateurisn. OF course, we know IT IL
the United States that is back OF the mind
Of most Of the Britishers who refer to
the semi profe' sionaism Of other teams.
but il Is by 10 means certain that the
standard of amateurism here is any bet
ter than across the Atlantic, where there
and where a man who sells or pawns
prizes or accepts money testimonial is
ipso facto n professional
LAS regards the present American
team, there Is no trace Of seml-profes-
sionalism in the preliminary prepare
ton; nothing more than intelligent or
ganization Of a proper system Of trials
and amalgamaton Of forces. Men are
not taken away from business or studies
to train. The great J. L. Jones did not
compete in the tryouts because Of his
studies: nor did Matt McGrath, be
cause Of his police duties, and so on.
Obviously our own varsity athletes are
open 10 the same charges of profession
alism. We really cannot understand the
trend OF thought that brands the visitors
as anything but the very best kind OF
amateurs"
The Canadian team, which mad been
training this week at the Crystal Pal
ace, sailed on Saturday for Sweden. J.
G. Merrlck, president Of the Amateur
Athletic Union Of Canada, said: I'VE
have a fairly good team and hope our
hoys Will do well, though they have not
had the best possible training this
spring. Personally. ! think the team will
do better than the CURES show. OF
course. We must remember that. with
the exception 81 the Marathon. we are
not after the great things IN the games
so much as tho unconsldered trlfes.'

Supervision Not Drastic.

The matter Of supervision is being eX-
aggerated throughout the country. Al
matter of absolute fact the supervi-
sion which the bankers require is far less
drastic than might be expected. particu-
larry with all the reports OF stolen ana
sauandered money which are going
around.
The Department Of Finance of the
Chinese government has been asked TO
esta blish an auditing department. Thern
would be two audftors-one paid and ap-
pointed by the bankers, foreigner, ana
the other by the government. The sec
ond auditor would be q Chinese. THESE
two men We're TO have supervision over
the advances. Before the government
draws any Of the money placed at its
disposal by the bankers it must hrst
make requisition on the auditors the
object of the proposed expenditures must
be made thoroughly clear 10 the auditors,
the banks not TO deliver funds except
against the signed order Of the auditors.
The Ministry of Finance must also Keep
the bankers informed Of the eXpendi-
lures made. The Advisory Council,
which is practically a parliament now
must also approve the expenditures be-
forehand.
To pisband the Troops.
The second important point concerns
the payment and disbandment Of the
| troops. To carry this out Is one OF the
most important and necessary things the
government has 70 do. At first the bank
ers proposed that foreign military officers
supervise this work The proposal
brought such roar Of protest from ali
sides that IL was quickly dropped, and
| the suggestion is now made that the
troops be paid and ds5anded through
rious provinces, all of whom are foreign
ers. and high ranking Chinese military
| officials. The customs men and the mill
tary officers would cooperate and send
| in full statements to Peking for use OF
| the bankers and the government. This
| also has met with much outside opposi-
| ton.
! The situation thus is rapidly becoming
| impossible. Every day the government
is in receipt Of great number Of dis
patches from all parts of the country
urging that there be no foreign loans.
At the same time come all sorts OF de-
n7ands for immediate advances Of cash
from the central government
Huang Hsing, for instance, sent In his
violent telegram, protesting against the
foreign supervision and threatening
! trouble A day or so later the man sent
another vehement message, this time de-
manding money. His activity Is arous
ing curiosity and causing some concern
! He may take II into his head 70 start
another revolt down south. This revolt
might have some degree Of success for
the present poverty-stricken government
can't possibly carry on campaign. II
must be said. however, that Huans
Hsire hasn't much money. either.

ment of the Second District Court Of

Inc, recovered damages against Isaac
Fried. The suit was brought fer

stalled in connection with the steam
heat plant of the defendant.

a delivery of materials. The court
held this point TO be for the jury.
The Supreme Court, in another
opinion today. affirmed the conviction
of Nellie Lytton. dancer, in IN
Elizabeth police court. The woman
gave a performance in house. the
proprietor of which had not obtained

tended that only the promoters OF
the exhibition and the proprietor OF

tion. The Supreme Court said the
contention was erroneous and said the
individual as we'll comes within city

WHO IS MATRON
At COUNTY JAIL?
Deep, Dark Doubt Disturbs
Happiness of Several
Persons.

The question of who is matron at
the county penitentiary bobbed up
again today in the Supreme Court
before Justice Francis J. Swayze, sit
ting in place of Chief Justice William
S. Gummere. who is taking vaea-
tion at his plantation IN North Caro-
lima.
The matter came up on an applica-
ton made by Alonzo Church as ooun-
sci for Mrs. Lillian c. Martin, who
was recently succeeded as matron by
Mrs. Anna A. Hosp, wife of Warden
Ferdinand J. Hosp who likewise re-
Gently replaced Warden Samuel c.
Martin. following a ruling made by
the Court OF Errors and Appeals.
In the application Mr.. Church set
forth that Mrs. Martin had been mp
pointed rnatron OF the Jail on October
Is, 1910, and that on January l, 1912,
Mrs. Hosp had been appointed to the
position by the Board of Freeholders.
Court proceedings on the question as
to whether the warden's and matron's
positions were protected by the civil
service act kept Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin in their positions until about a
month ago, when Mr.. Martin lost out
on the court ruling.
No court action had been taken in
the case of the matron. 1t being tacit-
ly understood between the parties at
interest that If Mr.. Martin lost his
fight for the position of warden, Mrs
Martin would retire with him. This
she failed to do. and in the applica-
ton for rule to show cause today
she claims to be protected by the
civil service law.
The question of whether she is SC
protected win be argued by Mr.
Church and County Counsel Benja-
min F. Jones before Chief Justice
Gummere on January 13 next.
