1 are; but nevertheless, they exist But suppose, for instance, that the home team on which the athlete is playing l during the summer Is disbanded--it 1 is known fact that baseball teams in country towns are never certainties early in the summer The athletes
 hands are again tied for the remainder of the summer. He can play the na- 1 tional game nowhere, not even in his home county. It does not matter q he wishes to play for the mere sport and pleasure of the game, he can't com
 pete in any match game during that summer and be eligible for college ball. How Athlete "Dodges" Then what is the result? The an swer Is simple. No one can tell what he athlete Is doing during the summer
 months, especially in the smaller towns. He plays with other teams, and he sIgns the college statement that he ia eligible. He is not caught up with. Next summer he plays out of his coun- ty, and even here the chances are that he will still be able to play college ball. In many cases college athletes go out of their home states to play as by so doing their eligibility at college Is much less liable to be questioned. Practically all of those who play out of their states accept money for their services.
 These conditions exist, and they con- l not be denied. The day of the college l ringer" may be passing away, but the day of clean athletics is not accom- panying their passing. When the writer | makes the statement that such condi- | tions exist in the south. he does so because he is in a position to under stand thoroughly the inner side of Southern Intercollege Athletic associa- ton athletics. For the past four years he was a member of a Southern Inter- college Athletic association team, and during that time was thrown constant ly with just such conditions IS are de- scribed For three of these yeare he was ineligible to compete according to a strict interpretation of the associa- ton regulations concerning summer baseball playing, and each year he signed the statement demanded by the association that he was eligible and not once since then has he regretted his
 action.
 Athletes Not Blamed
 It may be added that 1t is not the intention of the writer to expose ath-
 letes who have evaded these farcical
 regulations. He has no wish to see any
 athlete ruled off of any college team,
 and in fact. he attaches very little
 blame to them for their present situa-
 tion The real fault is not theirs.
 Such situation is, as said at the be-
 ginning of this article. indeed to be
 iamented However, there Is but one
 remedy, and this must come from the
 association and not from the college or
 athlete. It is not the fault of the
 athlete if he refuses-even with his
 honor at stake. if you will--to conform
 to a system of regulations that are so
 totally unjust to him. If a law is sound
 and beneficial it can be enforced. bu,
 no law at all is better than one so weak
 that it cannot prevent wholesale viola
 ton.

WIBAUx LOST FIRST GAME

The basket ball team which
was recently organized by the
boys about town. and scheduled
to meet the Beach team at that
city on last Tuesday evening, but
owing to the absence of several
of the regulars, and rather than
disappoint their neighbors
across the line, a number of new
players were substituted. The
game resulted in a "walk-away'
for the Beachites. who have
had considerable practice of late.
Though the local quint did not
do so bad, in consideration of the
fact that it was their first game.
The score was 49 to Is.

As to Residence
on H0nleSteadS

By reversing itself and declar.
ing that a married mans family
only is sufficient residence in
proving up on a homestead the
United States general land office
has just made a new and impor-
ant ruling that will be hailed
with delight by homesteaders
and claimholders throughout the
west.
For years it has been under
stood that the general land office
adhered to the practice of forcing
a homesteader to personally re.
side on his claim, regardless of
whether he did or not. Several
rulings to this effect have been
made, and although some settlers
were willing to take chances,
the wise ones followed regula-
tions.
Assistant Commissioner S. V.
Proudfit at Washington has juss
rendered a decision in the case
Of Charles K. Zenor of South
Dakota that completely reverse
the land Offices former stand.
Zenor was barber at Boone,
Iowa, and came to Pennington
county where he filed on a home
stead. Unable to make his liv-
ing on the homestead he worked
at his trade in Pierre. and kept
his wife and children on the
homestead the full IA months
before attempting to commute.
The local land office ruled against
him, but Commissioners Proudfit
in reviewing the case holds that
it is an injustice to the home
steader. He declares that in
reading through past decisions,
he ;lnds the words personal
residence" used as meaning the
claimant himself, but that his
own Interpretation of this word
ing is that it may mean simply
the family if the homesteader in
good faith has established his
family on the claim and visits
them when he can.

Fr0St'S Athletic
Show a Winner

VIM. Frost's athletic show at the
Davis OF era house on last Thurs
day evening" was without excep-
ton the best of it's kind ever at
tempted or pulled off in this part
Of the country.
A few months ngo Mr.. Frost es-
tablished an athletic training
school with a number of "will be-
pugilists, who on this occasion
were given an opportunity 70 dem
onstrate their ability, and consid-
ering the short time in which they
were in training each and every
individual made an excellent show
ing.
The main features of the pro-
gram were wrestling, boxing, bag
punching and club swinging, and
each performance in itself showed
the careful and diligent training
Of the instructor.
Two good wrestling bouts were
arranged between Cecil Lynch
and Everett Terrell, and Bland
Orgain and Zelmar Jones, lasting
Is and 10 minutes respectfully.
Each bout resulted in draw.
Following the wrestling matches
four boxing bouts were put on as
follows: r. Graham VS.. Y. Nc
Lain: K. Orgaiu VS.. H. Chappell;
B. Orgain vs.. j. Burns; z. Jones
VS.. E. Rucker, each bout lasting
three rounds.
Among other pleasing features
on the program was til, clever
acrobatic clown work Of Frank
Reychler, who centainly played
his part in most creditable man.
ner.
Next IN. order came the bag
and club swinging by
MIR. Frost, whic!.. also proved merry
interesting, and especially the
swinging Of the fire clubs. Mr..
Frost's dog also gave very anus
ing exhibition at the punching
bag.
Last but not least, was the
three-round boxing exhibition be-
tween Instructor Frost and Mr..
Nelson, both of whom are pro-
with the gloves.
In fact every number on the
program proved very interesting,
and was carried out in a manner
that reflects much credit upon the
promoter as we'll as the local
athletes.

IS On Both
Sides at Once
(From The Dawson County RevieW.)

sltloh on the Miles CITY receiver
ship is the most perfect editorial
straddle ever witnessed. The sue.
cessive positions taken are, SO di-
vergent and illogical that one
would suppose this editorial must
have been written in different sec
tions by as many different people
and then stuck together afterward.
Briefly epitomized, the Gazette S
position is rs follows: LIST, that
Dixon's contemplated action is
being opposed without rhyme or
reason;' End, that the misrepre.
sentation in regard to Mr.. Auld's
eligibility to reappointment was
unnecessary, because two terms
are considered sufficient for any
man anyway; 3rd, that Maxwell
has been a faithful party servant
and should receive the appoint
ment ''in order to keep the party
intact;' 4th, ''that Max we'll is
failing in health and this appoint
ment would make an excellent
political reward" 5th, that j. c..
Auld has been a very efficient man
and in view of the press of work
in the land Office ito disturb the
office would be to the detriment of
all concerned;' 9th quoted direct
from the Gazette-"We believe
that efficiency and qualification
for the position should be the gov
erning principles for any public
office, and that great wisdom would
be shown by his (Auld's) retention
even if Maxwell succeeds in secur.
ing the appointment. This would
be the most philosophic solution
of very complicated case.' 9th
and tinally-appears the following:
"We believe that whatever may
be the upshot Mr.. Auld should be
retained for his past record. A.
good man ought to merit some re-
ward, which should be a continu-
ance of Office. This would satisfy
those who are anxious for Max
WE'LL appointment as well as those
who are urging Auld's retention.'
Teken all in all, that's about
the best vaudeville act in the line
of editorial acrobatics / ever read.
Think of all that appearing in one
and the self.same editorial!
Just how Editor White expects
to accomplish the happy solution
of appointing Maxwell and also
retaining Auld he does not make
clear. If it were possible, that
would indeed be 'philosophic
solution.''
Perhaps Editor White would
have Mr.. Maxwell appointed re-
ceiyer, and then give Mr.. Auld a
clerkship under him. And think
! see Joe accepting it with pro.
found saIaam, and with heartfelt
thanks! The only other alterna-
tive FOR giving Maxwell soft
berth and also retaining Auld
would be to fire Register Kircher.
And who knows but what that's
in the wind, if the Gazette is
speaking by the card?
One thing stands out very clear
ly: In view of his failing health,
as mentioned in the Gazette, the
receivership of the Miles City land
office is the last job on earth Mr..
Maxwell wants to undertake. No
possible occupation will, during
the next five years, require more
sedulous attention to confining
and ardous office work than will
is receivership. And if he were
to accept i under conditions of
