A TRIBUTE TO NERO EEWSDOl
THOUSANDS ATTEND FUNERAL
OF BILLY RUGH.
Crowds, With Te7r-Dimmed Eyes, Join
In Singing Hymns in Streets
of Gary.

Gary, Ind, Oct. 22.-The funeral of
Billy Rugh. the newsboy who gave
his crippled leg that skin might be
grated onto the body of Miss Ethel
Smith thereby saving her life, was
held here and practically all Gary and
many people from surrounding towns
attended. No building was large
enough to accommodate the crowd and
the services were held in the street.
Four brass bands played funeral
dirges, six uniformed policemen were
pail bearers and fire department au-
tOmObile was the funeral car, while a
company of firemen carried the flow
cilmen and other leading men of the
city with barred heads, walked at the
head Of the procession which convey
ed the body to the railway depot where
it was put aboard a train for Rock
Island, III.
Many women were in the line, which
required more than an hour to pass
the bier placed in the middle of the
street Miss Smith was not able to at
tend but her father and brothers were
in the audience.
Led by the church choir and with
had donated their services. the crowd
reverently sang old gospel hymns as
Rev. J NJ. Avann stepped into the fire
department automobile and utilized its
seat as his pulpit. The throngs Of
persons upon nearby porch roofs join
ed in the singing.
The pastor likened the dead man to
''the christ who saved others, yet
Himself could not save"
"What means this concourse Of peo-
Ple?" he asked why has the heart
OF Gary been touched as never before?
We are told a man Is dead.
"Why, men die every day. Yet this
man had no office and was almost I'M
known He was only a newsboy But
he made the great sacrifice. He risked
his life, then gave it that girl whom
he never knew might live. His was
the sacrifice of one who loved his fel'
low man. In life his CHEEKY smile and
kindly greeting were worth going a
mile to see and hear. In death he
has attracted an assemblage to pay
him tribute that would not gather for
self-centered man. This was the
spirit of Rugh. the spirit of self-sacri.
fee, and If you are inspired by it, my
words will not have been in vain."
Tears dimmed the eyes of the thou
sands as they united in singing, Jesus
Lover of my Soul"

HUGHlE SAYS BALL
PLAYERS ARE WORTH
ALL THEY ARE PAID
PAGE SEVEN

VERY often / hear people eNclalming
oyer the alleged monstrous salaries
paid by big league ball players said
Hughie Jennings recently. and the re-
ark Is made that few il any OF these
men could earn anything like this
much money in any other occupation.
u seems 30 me hardly fair to the ath-
letes 10 entertain the idea that II they
lad not gone into baseball. they would
have been struggling along on $40 OF
SIS a week all their lives.
ii IS true that the majority Of play
ers would not be able to earn more
than 81 500 "a year or so-much less
than The average baseball salary--it
suddenly obliged TO quit the game and
go into some other pursuit But why is
this so? Because the bali tossers have
spent all their lives TO improve them
selves in their present occupations
and have had little chance To acquire
special training in anything else.
"Ban players as a class are fntelli-
gent. purposeful, earnest, courageous
and aggressive men. and these same
qualities would have brought them
success i'm other walks OF life had they
started along another path at the same
time they started in baseball It is just
as fair to say that a doctor couldn't
make a living in the law or the min
istry as TO make a statement that a
baseball star wouldn't be any good
were he to give up the game for an
other field of endeavor
1T requires something more than
mere manual deXterity TO become "a
big leasue star Brains. courage and
perseverance, are absolutely essential
nowadays. and the man who can boast
Of these three isn't likely to be a to-
tai failure at anything.
The heroes of the diamond are not
overpaid. They are men who can do
one thing better than any other peo-
pie can do It and that means good
earning power everywhere. Cs,ruso
gets thousands Of dollars for singing
one evening. but nobody thinks him
overpaid. He IS the top notcher in the
world Of opera tenors and demands The
top price"

A SALOONS QUEER NAME.
"The Case Is Altered" is a Relic o.
Oliver cromwell's Time.

London have Just discovered what
must be the most queerly named sa-
loon. in all England. You do not need
to be told. of course, that q saloon
over here Is not a saloon" but a
public house"-or pub to use the
popular expression.
Moreover although the proprietor's
name may be. and generally u.s. above
the door the place never is. as at
home, known thereby, but invariably
by some odd name, which may be any
thing from the Spotted Dog or Dun
Cow" To the Prince of Wales the
Grown" or the Angel"
The latter by the by. is rather a
favorite name for pub" incongruous
though ii seems. There are fourteen
ANGELS in London. including the fa-
nous one at lslington, and goodness
knows how many in other parts of the
country.
But what do you say to "The Case is
Altered?" This strikes me as queer
er name for n saloon than any | ever

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
WILL BAR PROFESSIONAL
SKI JUMPERS IN FUTURE
THIS ACTION LIKELY TO BE
TAKEN By ASSOCIATION.
Secretary OF Association Finds SENT
ment Very Favorable.

Ashland, March 19-Secretary Alsel
Hotter. of the National Ski association
is just back from two weeks trip
visiting various clubs throughout the
Northwest, and il is his opinion that
in little over a week professional
ism will be officially eliminated from
the National Ski association and this
national body will be recognized on a
strictly amateur basis.
Mr.. Hotter states that an extraordin-
airy meeting of the association has been
called to be held at Superior on March
%. This is the first time in the his
tory that a meeting has been held
outside Of the regular annual conven
ton and it is considered that this
meeting will probably be the most i'm
portant that the National association
has ever held.
The purpose of this meeting is 10
decide the question as To whether the
association shall be reorganized on q
strictly amateur basis or remain as al
present. authorizing tournaments for
professionals to compete i'm.
While Mr.. Hotter was adverse "a
giving the stand taken by any indi-
vidual clubs ne stated today that there
was no question but what two-thirds
of the clubs at this meeting to be held
In Superior would vote I'm favor of do
ing away with the professionalism en-
tirely and that the association would
become strictly amateur organiza-
ton. the same as is the international
Ski association which authorizes the
tournaments i'm European countries.
Mr.. Hotter has not only received let
tiers from different clubs on this sub
ject. but in his recent trip of two weeks
he received personal assurances from
the officials of many of the clubs that
they would send delegates who would
insist upon a reorganization of the as
ISOLATION by eliminating the profess
sional rider.
Since the annual meeting was held
i'm Chicago two clubs have entered the
association. these being from Roches-
ter, Mimi, and Dalton, MINI.
In addition 90 these eight other
clubs have made application for mem
bership, but Mr.. Hotter has requested
them 10 hold their applications In
allegiance until after this annual meet
ing as practically all Of them desired
to come in on an amateur basis. These
eight towns that have thus made APP
plcation are Rockford, ILL.,. Elgin, ILL.,.
