They would say. too, the Amateur
Athletic Union desires to put Jim ia
the background class by making him
confess who were the other college
amateurs who played with him on the
same team for money and their daily
bread.
Don't squeal, JIM"
Do you know the difference between
the amateur and professional?
It's an English difference-and
there's no sense to it all in America.
Track sport originated in England
the English have always been sports

No man who worked with his hands
would ever get into athletic games IL
England except as a professional.
All the amateurs were gentlemen. -
The idea was imported to America.
and instead of calling the classes

called them amateurs and profess

YOUNG BUSINESS men
SCORE high HONOR
WILLIAMS 4 DEWOODY LEAD
SAFE.CABINET SALEMEN
THROUGHOUT ENTIRE
WORLD BY GOOD
MARGIN.
Declared They Would Smash Records
and Lead Country and More Than
Made Good At 1t.

Signal honors has fallen to T. Sor-
rells Dewoody and Thomas j. Will
liams, two Pine Bluff boys, of the firm
of Williams e. Dewoody, who lead
the country in the sale of safe-cabinet
ware, for which they have the agency.
When it is considered that they beat
out such large cities as Philadelphia,
New York, Chicago and in foreign
lands, it must, be confessed that they
accomplished business feat worth
while, and which goes further to place
Pine Bluff on the map of progressive
methods.
In the current issue of "Ammuni-
tion," the publication of The Safe
Cabinet Company, of Marietta, Ohio,
is given quite lengthy article con-
corning the pair of Pine Bluffians and
their efforts. and the article is fur
ther enhanced by excellent pictures OF
them.
This enterprising brace Of young
business men when they started in
the lists made remark 10 the effect
that they were going to lead the sales
list. At the time, when it is considered
that the field in some of the larger
cities is thought more promising, it
was believed that this was but an idle
boast Of youthful enthusiasm.
Their prediction was more than
made good and not only did they dc
enough business to lead the list OF
statesmen the world over, but while in
Hot Springs, sold eight OF the cab
inets, enough to cover all expenses
while attending the Arkansas State
Fair held at that place.
In referring to what these young
men have accomplished, the Ammuni-
ton says:
1--WE know now that those young
fellows down in Arkansas that made
such good impression at the Sales
Assembly We're not the ones who put
the bluff in Pine Bluff. They said
they were going to hit the center Of
the target and they did in November.
Their success is no doubt due largely
to the efforts which they made at the
business show in Hot Springs. They
saw the opportunity there and made
the most of it. We believe the re-
suits of their work will be heard from
for some time to come.
1.-The credit which has been handed
to them in large quantities, not only
is matter of pride to them and to
their friends, but reflects greatly on
the commercial enterprise of one 81
the Invest business cities of the middle
west.
