HERMANN HANDS KNOCK
TO RULES OF AMATEURISM

The national baseball commission
showed a fine lack of knowledge of the
true meaning of amateurism and an
legant Observation-Disclosures as to the eX-
act nature of the offense of Jim Thorpe
1gainst amateur athletics in a state
nent just issued by President August
Hermann.
President Hermann said, in part:
The stand which tine rulers of anna
eur athletics take against professional
baseball is a relic of the dark ages. 1t
was while the game was still in an I'M
happy position that the laws that still
govern amateur athletics We're formu-
ated. Baseball, since those times, has
advanced to a standing of integrity and
public conference.-the amateur laws
nave. practically. stood stock still.
The college boy who goes out and
plays ball in the summer months
should not be confronted with the al
tentative of either deliberate falsehoods
or the penalties now inflicted by the
amateur rules.
Both common justice and the honor
we owe the game demand that some
early action should be taken-and the
governing forces of baseball should be
tAe hlst to cope with the situation"

Everybody is either picking the

have no intention of rolling up
sleeves and wading into the mess;
! will merely venture a few ran
dom reflections upon it,
James Sullivan, president OF
the A. A. T., took characteristically
energetic hold of the situation and
probed it to a quick finish. Then he
promptly called on Jim to 'send
them presents back and now he
Is returning them TO the Stockholm
committee without waiting to be
asked, and even in the face of their
own statement that inasmuch as
Thorpe wasn't protested by any
body within 80 days after the 0lym-
pics were held, as the rule calls for,
they are powerless to take them
back at all. This unequiyoeal stand
of our associations head has stirred
up for us no little praise and COM
mendation from the entire Euro
pearl press. 1t shows that we meant
well. anyway.
Fact Is, no country can be held
responsible for every incident, big
and little, in the past careers of its
supposed amateur athletes. 1t can't
be supposed to know of every pos
sible infraction of the amateur
rules, and so long as it does its
best to rectify the trouble as soon
as it does find out, that's about all
that can be asked Sweden's mag
unanimous attitude in this matter,
as well as England's kind words,
are going to do much to make all
countries more courteous and ami
cable to. each other at future con-
tests than they have been in the
past.
Many will waste breath explain
ing how. to their minds. 1t makes
no real difference that Thorpe took
money for playing professional
BASEBALL seeing that the prizes he
won at the Olympics were not for
experiences in that branch of sport,
but for athletic contests OF a total
ly different nature, and that he
ought therefore to be permitted to
retain the trophies and the credit
that goes with them Not so.
Every game has it's rules, and the
Olympics have theirs Whether
reasonable or not, it is a rule that
one who has ever taken money for
any athletic event is not eligible to
participate in these or any other
amateur contests. Thorpe says he
didn't know this when he played
the professional baseball. Perhaps
not, but he certainly knew it when
he entered the Olympic games, for
his eligibility papers told him so.
And for this reason ! lose no sleep
over Jim's loss of his splendid
trophies
Some will sympathize because
Jim confessed. Was there any
thing else he could have done?
Didn't they have the "deadwood''
on him? Some slap him on the
back for returning the prizes
would ne not be competed TO 40
so? Had he any other choice?
About the only consolation | can
see for this great Indian athlete is
the fact that he really did make the
superb marks and records recorded
for him at Stockholm last summer
and these prove beyond all argu-
ment that he is the greatest living
athlete-call him professional be-
cause he accepted some money as
a mediocre ball player or what we
will.
But, hallelujahl we still made
enough points in the track and
field events. after dedueting
those made by Thorpe, to count a
win for the American team, after
all.
