that Cannon, as soon as she was gone,
might have regretted his action and
telephoned from his office to stop thN
payment on 1t. She knew that once
the money was hers he would not
make any attempt to get 1t back. His
own reputation and that of his daugh.

with the transaction for him to dare
to apprehend or punish Berny for her
deception.
Her heart gave a wild leap as she
saw the teller returning, and then
pause behind the netting of his golden
cage while he counted out the bills.
She tried to speak lightly to him as
he laid them one by one on the glass
slab. She was hardly conscious Of
what she said all she realized was
that the crisp roll Of paper in her
fingers was her possession. If not Of
great fortune, at least Of something
to stand between her and the world.
When she left the bank she walked
forward slowly. the excitement which
had carried her on to this point hay

The above restrictions appear to
present the last word in the matter of
it's relations to track and field sport.
That the question of an amateur defi-
milton will be the means of an unusua
amount of discussion at the Lausanne
congress by both sociological histor-
ans and sportsmen is conceded, as it
is one which is connected with the
social evolution of the times.
Glass Distinctions.
In former days there was no dis
tinction between amateurs and profess
SIGNALS for the reason that no such
distinction existed. The field of Lon
don, several years ago, stated that
there were players whom we should
style amateurs players whom we
should style professionals; but no one
dreamed of dividing the players of a
two classes, according as they pur-
sued it for pleasure or for profit. The
reason is simple. 1t is to be found
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-04-20

in the fact that one great distinction,
far sharper han it is today, cut across
all sport, and, indeed, every depart
nent of activity, the. distinction,
namely, between those who were gem
tlemen and those who We're. not.
f"Nothing could alter or qualify this
distinction of birth. If a gentleman
turned PROFESSIONAL as we say, he
remained a gentleman. If a man not
a gentleman played a game for love
alone, he did not thereby break the
"invidious bar of his birth. In fact,
when a gentleman and not-gentleman
met in athletic rivalry there was far
less recognition of the leveling power
of the game thar there is now; even
the feeling that it was mar to man
yielded to the knowledge that it a
man against gentleman.
Games We're organized accordingly.
Gentlemen played them for pleasure;
others whom we should style profess
SIGNALS, also played them, but really
as the hired servant of the gentle
men. Closely following this stage in
athletic history came into use the term
amateur and used by the hired play
ers as a sort of deferential term of
pity or contempt for the inferior skill
of their patrons.
"a very interesting survival is the
title of the cricket matches, Gentle
men VS.. Players It's origin dates
from the period when the amateurs
were gentlemen the professionals
alone being players
"The point which this distinction
emphasized is that the game, as such,
had not sufficient empire over it's sub
jects to cancel class distinctions in it's
w sphere. Consequently a quite
arbitrary and artificial distinction was
drawn, confusing social and athletic
status.
In the present stage of evolution
game have been both d"emocratized
and universalized AS soon as the
patronage of the public was assured it
was inevitable hat some games
should be exploited on business prin-
ciples. This result has had it's good
influences. There is one interesting
effect of public patronage. generally,
which shows how public games react
upon social life; that is, that not the
professional only, but the amateur
also, lave become in a sense the serv-
ants of the public
"A famous amateur cannot disre-
gard the claims of his clientele with
out bringing upon himself an unoffi-
cial public censure. 1t is in such
conditions that the modern classifi-
cation between amateurs and profess
SIGNALS has arisen. There are. several
general reasons for the necessity of
the distinction. Amonp thesa u, ha
mentioned the preservation of the. es-
sential character of sport as being
play, not business; the protection of
the professionals, if not Of the anna
tours, and the very important reason
for guaranteeing fair play and purity
of motive"

AID Wolgast Is Eliminated
BY a Missed Right Suing
One Time Champion Holds His Oon for rs Rounds of
Fight With 'Hariem Tommy Murphy and
Then, by Missing BloW, Passes From
the Upper Level of PugiIism.

San Francisco, April 19.-For 1f
rounds Harlem Tommy Murphy and
Ad Wolgast battled this afternoon at
the open air Eighth street arena with
little to choose between them. Then
a missed right swing on the part of
the one-time champion proved the
means of effacing him from the roster
of top-notchers in the lightweight di-
vision of fighters n paved the way
for a fight-end decision in favor of
Murphy. Incidentally, it served to
bring the Harlem fighter to the front
ranks as a lightweight champion on
tender after 10 years of logged eff
fort. Such was the verdict to the
great majority of spectators who
cheered him today when Referee Jim
Griffin awarded him the decision after
20 rounds of heart-breaking milling
with Wolgast, with whom only a few
weeks ago he had fought a draw.
In the 18th round of today's battle
Wolgast essayed a terrific right swing
for his opponents jaw which fell
short. The ex-champlon spun around
like a top, and all but fell to the
floor from the effects of his mis-
spent punch. Quick to take advan-
tage of his unlooked-for opening,
Murphy smashed the spinning VOL
CASTS face until the blood sprayed
in every direction, and thereafter his
work was easy. Wolgast wilted, and
the best he could do was to stall and
clinch to save himself from a Knock
out.
In the 18th round Wolgast received
the worst beating of his long ring ca
reer. He opened the round with a
rush that threatened to carry the
New Yorker off his feet, but a
straight right caught him on the chin
and checked his fighting spirit.
Murphy fairly smothered his oppo-
nent with cutting half-arm jolts
to the face, and when the three-min-
ute session had closed it required the
services of Wolgast's retinue of nan
oilers to patch his face in a vain at
tempt to stay the freely flowing blood.
The 18th and Goth rounds found Muir
ply beating a ceaseless tattoo IN his
almost helpless antagonists body and
face, but the power to deliver a fin
ishing punch was lacking, and the
New Yorker was compelled to rest on
his laurels with a decision in his
favor. Wolgast presented a CHASTITY
appearance as he was carried from
the ring, his face being puffed to al
most twice its normal size.
Prior to the turning point in the
18th round the battle was almost a
repetition Of the previous meeting be-
tween the two fightors-Wolgast
landing frequently on the body with
telling punches and the sturdy Irish
man devotfng himself to his rivals
face and head. 1t vas noted, however,
that Wolgast's punches lacked force.
Wolgast, after the battle, had little
to say
THE decision was all right: MUIR
ply is the toughest ever he eX-
claimed between his puffed lips.
Murphy was much elated over his
victory, and added that he was ready
to meet Willie Richie for the title
at a moments notice.
The fight was witnessed by apprOXi-
mately 10000 persons.

Richie Willinu.

rBozeman, April 19,-"Will be tickled
to death to meet Murphy if the money
offer is q good one was what Billy
Nolan, manage of Willie Ritchio, had
to say when he heard that Tommy
Murphy defeated Ad Wolgast in their
20-round contest in san Francisco to-
day. He also added that he offers to
meet Joe Rivers or Leach Cross, and
was willing to meet either of the
three, taking the one that makes the
best offer.
Those are the big three now, and
Wolgast is out of it," is the way the
lightweight champion expressed HIM
self. THAT is what a few black
cigars and failure to observe proper
care Of ones self cost. 1t has cost
Wolgast a great deal; he was a good
man."
In regard to his W training meth
DDS he stated that he always aimed
to take proper care of himself, and
said that he had only smoked three
cigarettes in his life, and that when
he was a boy.
Round One.
The fighters closed in easily, Muir

opponent against the ropes, landing
left and right on the face and head,
Wolgast covered up. They exchanged
lightly at close range, and Murphy
sent his antagonist against the ropes
with the force of his rush, backed by
a left to the stomach. WOlgast fell
through the ropes, but was up in a

sparring the former champion. after
taking a right IN the face, landed

Wolgast into his own corner and
landed hald twice with right and left
