Thanking you for the space this
takes UP, am.
Yours very truly,
LIE ROY S. FALES,
A. A. u. Commissioner
don't know why, but bowlers who
compete for cash prizes have never
been considered professionals. The
sport, it seems, has never been con-
sidered by the A. A. U. The same
thing applies in golf. A professional
who takes up golf is looked upon as
an amateur and is admitted in anna
teur tournaments. If Commissioner
Fales's decision is backed up by the
A. A. u, Plat Adams and other ia
nous athletes will have to be disquali-
fed. 1t is radical ruling, indeed,
though it is perhaps a just one. AS
to amateur boxing, Commissioner
Fales cannot be too strict

]. p. NJ:
Kindly tell me through your val
table paper what Frank Kramer and
Bob Spears expect to do all winter?
Don't you think a race between Nc
Namara and Oscar Egg, behind mo-
tors, would be a good race In New
York on the Saturday night before
the six-day race?
l would like to see them put cover
over the Velodrome and have races
all winter.
How is my writing? TAD.
This winter Kramer expects to have
a good, long rest. So does Spears.
II six-day race is held in California,
Kramer would go out there to ride
exhibitions. There are too many good
pace-followers around to think of
matching Mcnamara and Egg be-
hind the motors. Write to Messrs.
Million and Uppercu anent covering
the yelodrome. Your handwriting is
great. but what about g. typewriter?

Getting back at Central High School,
a correspondent says:
J. P. NJ:
Being a constant reader of your
interesting columns, l see that "A
Student of Central High School,
makes an appeal to you that his
alma mater be dealt with more par
TALLY by the games committee of the
Newark High Schools League. He
accuses the officials of the above COM
mittee as caring only for their per-
Sonal desires, and goes further to say
that the committee is made up
of other gentlemen than those of Cen
trail, which is as far from right as
the North pole is from the South
Just to convince the public that the
student is wrong in his argument,
when the A. A. U. rules were revised
by the local high schools, each school
had equal representation, including
Central and therefore no one school
could carry things It's own way. Cen
trail offers as an excuse for their
non-appearance Saturday the ineligi-
bility of one of the runners on the
team. That is a poor alibi / think
from a school of CentraPs size they
could farm out another runner to fill
in the vacancy. But they have been
so accustomed to winning, and seeing
they had strong field of runners
against them, they decided to stay
1U1 in11 erix lon CT
ton of sportsmanship. I very seldom
take pains to write about such things,
but | have noticed Central High
School always offering alibis when
their teams are defeated, which is un-
like the spirit displayed by other local
schools. When the student accuses
the committee of such things as he
has he is not only putting a blot
on Newark High schools, but also
his own. Hoping to see this in your
valuable columns, and thanking you
in advance for your kind courtesy, l
remain, yours truly, SPORT.
