EVASION OF AMATEUR RULES.
How Summer Ball Players Utilize
Technicalities.

The so-called "amateur rules are
easy to evade, because being merely
collections of technicalties themselves
they can easily be evaded by use of
technicalities.
One college ''summer baseball =
player has neat little scheme. He was
to earn $25 n week. But he did not get
it for playing baseball. Perish the
thought. Every Saturday night the pro
prletor of the resort wagered $50 with
him on game of pool. The proprietor,
naturally, always lost. The college
athlete, technically, didn't receive a
cent for playing the game.
Another hung his clothes up in n
handy place every Saturday evening
upon retiring, and in the morning was
always surprised to discover $25 in bills
in his right hand trousers pocket.
OF course il WASH t his fault if some
unknown person accidentally put some
paid for playing ball; certainly not.
There S story of another college attn
lete who PLAYED ''summer ball. for all
there was in it.
When he arrived at the hotel he
openly deposited paper-eovered pack
age in the hotel safe. Whenever he
wanted money after that he asked for
the package and pulled bill ont of it.
The package, when he left it, was only
. roll of wrapping paper. He couldn t
! help it if his property increased in
value when out of his possession.
These are only a few of the ordinary
ways of getting around professional
| ism.
The theory of the athlete is that the
crime lies in getting caught. Unless
some one or other furnishes proof OF
professionalism, the athlete is simon
| pure amateur.
An amateur athlete is one who com
petes for sport s sake. A professional
is one who takes part in sport fol
profit There ism t such q thing as an
amateur professional or q semi-pro.

While the newspapers throughout
the United States were busily an
nouncing the warlike operations of
Gen Sancho Fernandez here, there
and elsewhere that December, it was
fact that the revolutionary dictator
of Mexico was really in Washington,
d. c., where he had been perenptor-
lily summoned by the president.
His conference at the capitol was
short and very much to the point. 1t
was pointed out with painful decisive
ness to the Senior General Fernandez
that hereinafter he would have to
make his ragged army respect the
rights Of u. S. A.
The pill that General Fernandez was
thus made to swallow was not sugar
coated but it unquestionably did him
good He went down the White House
steps that day before Christmas a
So oder and a wiser man. However
the dictator of Mexico was a philoso
pher.
General Fernandez muff1ed his face
deep in the soft warmth of his fur
collared greatcoat, and started off
down the avenue.
BY and by he came to the business
district where throngs of last-minute
shoppers were bustling about. Snow
had begun to fall heavily-great f1eecy
fakes that filed the whole air and,

ed over the shortcut trail to Durbin-

thing in the air; l thought It was snow.
There seemed a terrible silence over

him alive. "Good-by, Uncle Sam," he
shouted from the hill as he waved his
hand; "ard a merry Christmas TO you;
and don't get drunk. Be sure to make
good resolutions for the New Year.
Good-byi"
He stopped at the Widow Jones
house On his way to Durbin, and she
made him drink a cup of hot coffee,
which she and the kiddies were hav-
ing at breakfast Then he told her
about the Christmas he expected to
spend at hcne. He was just bubbling
over with Joy, and the widow started
to cry. At Christmas, she said, the
thoughts Of the Cnes that are departed
are green in ones memory as the
holly leaves that grow on the holly
tree, and like a circle of holly leaves
are they entwined in a wreath of
memory.
Then Billie tried to comfort her,
and asked her why she was crying.
She said that her kiddies wanted to
know about Santa Claus because the
Paxson children, who went shedding on
the hill, told them what Santa was
going to bring them, ard they asked
their nav when Santa was coming to
+ them. She told them that he wasn't
coming; there wasn't going to be any
