ASSERTS WE ARE TOO
BUSY WITH BASEBALL

CHICAGO. Jan. S.-This is the mat

American public is so busy studying
baseball It has no time to appreciate
dramatic art.
This is the opinion OF Arnold DAILY,
the actor who made an address before
the Drama league here.
So long as baseball attracts greater
interest than the drama, there is no
hope for good plays in America, he said.
our people have not yet had time to
cultivate a degree Of culture which
makes them capable of approaching
true art and because America is n
new country, many good plays must
fail. he declared.

Extreme Case Has Been Made
of Indian Who Received
Money for Playing Ball.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

1t is pleasing to hear from Sweden
that Jim Thorpe. the Carlisle Indian
declared a professional by the mcguls
of the A. A. u, should be allowed
to keep his trophies won in the Swed-
ish Olympic. games last summer. The
Swedes say that the question Of his
amateur status has been raised too
late and that he evidently did not con-
slider himself professional proving It by
his manly admission Of the charges
against him. In Sweden they are real
sports.
Thorpe played bush league baseball
for money, little as 1t was. Rocky
Mount, N. c. does not pay major league
salaries, and IL the Indian got SIS a
week. he was doing well In the money
line. But the amount does not enter
into the argument. He professionalized
himself as a baseball player by taking
any money.
However, being a professional player
on the diamond, how Is ii reasoned
that he is thereforea a professional ham,
ner thrower. sprinter. pole vaulter or
football, player? His achievements on
the diamond do not enter into any way
toward his success at these other lines.
Indeed, Clark Grifith's refusal to make
him an offer indicates this better than
anything else.
Being a professional in one line
doesn't necessarily professionalize a
man In others. This is shown by Percy

as skillful as professionals. Almost IN
better than the amateur. That is one
Of the ideas of amateurism. giving the
sportsman a chance at prizes Q pro-
fessional could easily win from him.
A cant phrase is. why. he's only an
amateur,'@i It is always used In dis
paragement of ones abilities.
Rule Is Unfair.
This rule is distinctly unfair which

Arthur Duffy, Georgetown's star sprint
er. was declared a professional. No
complaint was made against this de-
cision, either. He had taken money for
sprinting. But II Arthur Duffy wants
TO enter an amateur golf tournament
today. 1t is doubtful IL any opposition
John NJ. Ward took money for years
as a professional baseball player. his
own line of athletic endeavor, and yet
he can enter amateur golf Journeys all
over the country. Haughton is q pro-
fessional football coach and yet he can
enter an amateur recquete tourney.
However. Duffy cannot enter an anna
teur sprint race. Ward cannot play on
a college varsity nine. Haughton can
not play on college football eleven.
Each is professionalism In his own line
the term. is considered better than the
amateurs he would compete against.
But how about Thorpe? Is he a bet
tetr football player because he took
money for playing bush league base
ball? Is he better broad jumper or
him his expenses last summer for play
ing ball? This Is something for A. A.
U. folks to explain before the real break
comes.

Association and other small leagues of

lima Association that Jim Thorpe played

Three local men, Dick Smith, Spar
row Sharpe and Ike Hoey. played in
the Carolina League at the same time
yesterday and were requested to give
the names of the collegians who played
professional ball. All refused to give
any names, and asserted that SO far
as they knew, there were no collegians
on the teams of the league. They ac-
knowledged, however, that they knew
of Thcrpe's playing.
IF the A. A. U. is going after all the
college men who play baseball in that
league there will be some trouble The
amateur ranks will look like a mu-
tilated blue book unless everybody
agrees to keep quiet; That is just what
man who plays in that league NAV be

at IL In that way, and very few people
do. Il is all very well to purge anna

work last year endeared him to the

In wheat the Dodgers have one Of
the best outfielders m the league, and
Moran is q very fair outer gardener.
Stengel hit .31s last year and may again
prove a sensation at the bat. This trio
should make an outfield stronger than

Miller. Erwin. Phelps, and Fischer
give Brooklyn as much strength behind
the bat as any club In the league with
the exception Of New York and Chi

and II he could hit a little harder would
be a catcher second to none. He is
not a weak hitter as catchers go, but
he Is not in the Me7ers-Bresnahan
class.
In the box Dahlen has that king of

southpaws in Allen and Yingling. who
have at times twirled good ball. Knet-
ger, Ragon, Stack. Kent. Curtis. and
Wagner are the right-handers and most

golfers are not contaminated by his
playing among them.
1t is poor rule which doesn't work
both ways. II the A. A. U. bars a man
from track sports because he plays
summer baseball for money, the organi-
xation should carry the thing through,
barring him also from all other branches
OF amateur sport, golf, racquets. tennis,
