APPLEGARTH'S STANDING.
Noted English Sprinting Champion Is
tInIer Cueo;ooo

Under Suspicion.
England may lose her star sprinter
before the time for the 1916 Olympic
games at Berlin rolls around. w. R.
Applegarth of the Polytechnic Har-
riers, by long odds the greatest sprint
err that England has developed in the
last decade, is under suspicion as to
his amateur standing, and it is a
pretty we'll known fact that the of
fclals of the Amateur Athletic asso-
citation are seriously considering start
ing something in Applegarth's direc-
ton. %Applegarth is a messenger by
profession. and as such he is supposed
to draw down a very small stipend.
Despite this fact, since he has become
prominent as an athlete Applegarth
has been able to he away from his
work a great deal and has become
nearly as amous as q tourist in Eng
land and Scotland as has Secretary
Bryan in this country. In England
athletes are not allowed to accept
car fare expenses from the promoters
of athletic games, and the English
officials are considering asking Apple
garth where he gets the money to do
so much travelling.
The British officials never start an
inquiry as to an athletes amateur
standing until they have 1.-The goods
on the man they are after. Therefore,
IF AnD1oparth iS cal1ad hoforo an in
vestigation board, it is fair to assume
that he will walk the plank, as Alfred
Shrubb did several years ago.

JOHNSON SIGNS FOR $4,000.

Washington Pitcher Now Highest
SaIaried Of His Craft.
Walter Johnson, the Washington
American league clubs great pitcher,
signed his 1914 contract at a salary Of
$4,000 for the season. 1t did not take
Johnson and Manager Griffith long to
come to terms. The Washington man
ager wanted the pitcher to sign for a
term Of three years. but Johnson re-
fused.
1t is believed that the salary the
Washington club has agreed to pay
Johnson next year makes him the high
est salaried twirler in baseball. and
the opinion among fans is that he is
worth every cent Of it.
Johnson has been Il member of the
Washington club since the fall of 1907
and was Il success from the start. He
is twenty-five years old and, according
to experts. should be a better pitcher
ten years from nov than he is today.
as he possesses an easy delivery and
cuts loose with terrific speed with APP
parently no effort.
JohnsOn's record this season is the
best he has established since he en-
tered professional ranks. He has won
thirty-six games and lost seven. He is
leading both leagues in the matter of
games won.
The big pitcher signed a three year
contract iii April, 1910, calling for 81 ,O0C
a season, after holding out for nearly
a month.

WORkiNGMAN CAN'T BE AN
AMATEUR GOLFER IN
ENGLAND.

Abe Mitchell, the noted golfer.
says that he was driven into the
professional ranks Oh account of
the intense hostility shown to
him in the last two amateur
tournaments because of the fact
that he is Il workingman. He
says:
My chief offense has been
that | waS born an artisan. In
following my occupation to get a
living. first as Il gardener, then
as 4 chauffeur. | had more oppor-
tunities to play golf than the or
binary British artisan has the
right to expect. There are golf
game classes in England, and an
artisan golfer is not wanted in
amateur circles
Mitchell says that he fully in
tended to cross the Atlantic to
compete in both the amateur and
open tournaments. but was
warned before his departure that
measures would be taken to pre-
vent him from driving from the
first tee.
