Failure 20 abide by the training
rule against smoking resulted this
week in the dismissal OF six players
from the Olympia high school baseball
team by the school authorities, bring

most successful season for the high

PLANTATION of the situation: THE Olym-
pia high school baseball team will
probably not complete its schedule this
season. The reason for disbanding is
the failure on The part Of the players to
live up to the training rules. The
school authorities have been doing
their best to discourage cigarette smok-
ing among the pupils, and special eff
fort has been made to prevent smoking
by members of athletic teams. 1t has
been understood by all the boys taking
part in the high school athletics that
the rule would be enforced as nearly
to the letter as possible. Those who
are habitual smokers promised to keep
this rule before they were given pO-
sitions on the team or made the state
ment that they had already quit smok-
ing before the season opened. Some of
those asked to turn in their suits have
been violators of the rule only to 4
slight degree, while others have fire.
quently disregarded their pledges. Six
members of the regular squad admitted
that they had violated a rule which
they had clearly understood. For the
protection of high school athletics, it
was necessary that those boys be asked
to turn in their suits. This Is no dis
couragement to athletics in the high
school, but on the other hand is an
encouragement of clean sport for it's
physical value"
