The above restrictions appear to
present the last word in the matter of
o definition of the word amateur In its
relation to track and field sport. That
the question of an amateur definition
will be the means of an unusual
amount of discussion at the Lausanne
congress by both sociological histo-
rians and sportsmen is conceded, as 1t
i one which is connected with the So
cial evolution of the times.
In former days there was no distinc-
tion between amateurs and profession
ais for the reason that no such distinc-
ton existed. The Field of London
several years ago stated that there
were players whom we should style
amateurs and players who we should
style professionals" but no one dream
ed of dividing the players of game
or the devotees of sport into two
classes, according as they pursued it
for pleasure or for profit. The reason
is simple. 1t is to be found in the
fact that one great distinction, far
sharper than it is today, cut across all
sport, and, indeed, every department
of activity, the distinction, namely, be-
tween those who were gentlemen and
those who were not.
