down as follows:
Opponents will be treated as
do not reciprOcate. No unfair advan-
tage will ever be taken of them. Good
plays will be suitably acknowledged.
Officials will be considered as i'm
partial and competent arbiters. Decis

even when they apparently are unfair.
Advantage will not be taken of lax
rule enforcement. lll-feeling of any
F. kind will not be publicly manifested
even when an official is palpably ncom

Athletic rules will be considered
as mutual agreements between con
testants for the purpose of providing
basis of honorable competition be-
tween gentlemen. The letter or spirit
of the rule will no more be ignored or
evaded than will gentleman S word
of honor.
Every honest and earnest effort
will be made to win contest, but
dishonorable victory will note be ac-
cepted.
AN amateur will always be loyal
to his teammates in every conceiv-
able endeavOr and will do his utmost
to prove worthy representative OF
his institution or club. y

NO PLACE FOR BIG FIGHT
Curley Says Juarez May Be Picked for
Johnson Willard Battle

FL Paso, Texas, Dec. 29.-Jack Cur
ley, promoter of the Jack Johnson-J ess
Willard heavyweight boxing contest,
yesterday said tine date and place for
the bout had not yet been selected. He
denied a report that the fight had been
set for Juarez, Mex, March II, al
though he said the Mexican border town
might be selected. He thought the date
probably would be March 6 or s.
According to Curley ring followers in
the West are enthusiastic over Will
lard s chances and the fight will attract
large numbers from that section of the
country. Out on the coast where Will
lard met defeat at the hands of Gun
boat Smith, the giant Kansan is looked
upon as a false alarm. Around Mil
waukee and Chicago Willard is regarded
as a joke fighter pure and simple. In
fact, the big fellow has ben dealt with
more kindly in New York than any
where else. But with Jack johnson on
this side of the Atlantic and actually
in training his match with Willard will
attract more or less attention from now
on.

BILL CGUCHlIN HAD To
PAY FOR Charley MILLER
Scranton Manager Wanted to Get
Local Catcher In Trade But Sen
ators Would Not Listen-Win Re-
lease Bergen

Scranton, Dee. 29.-Bill Coughlin,
leader of the local New York State
league team, activity engaged in build
ing winning team for this city in
1915. made what he considers a ten
strike when he succeeded in landing
Catcher Charlie Miller from the Har-
risburg champions Of the Tri-State
League.
Coughlin tried to make desirable
trade for Miller, but the Harrisburg
bosses would not hear of it, and
Coughlin had to offer a tidy bunch of
cash before he prevailed upon them to
let Miller 60. 1t is likely with the
acquisition of Miller, that Bill Bergen,
the vetergan big league receiver, will
be surely traded or released.
In the event that the deal with the
Elmira team for the services of Pitch
err "Sweet" Caporal for Bergen goes
through, Bergen may be retained as
second catcher.
Miller broke in with Harrisburg in
1912, the first year the local club
landed the pennant in the Tri-State
League. Miller was drafted by Pitts
burgh and sent later to Toledo. During
the 1913 campaign he went to Mil
waukee. He was dissatisfied there and
when Harrisburg needed catcher last
season it did not take lot of dicker-
ing to get him back here. Miller was
a valuable man to the team, his inside
knowledge of the game standing the
team in good stead. He has always
been heavy hitter and has won more
than one game with his stick work
This is the third star of the Harris
burg nine to leave since the season
closed. Chabek was drafted by Brook
lyn, Adams by Pittsburgh and now
Miller goes to Scranton. Miller will
get higher salary in Scranton. Man
ager Cockill believes that the players
deserve higher salaries and if they can
get it he is sure not to stand in their
way. Myers and 'Connor went to the
New York State League circuit from
Harrisburg.
