NO MORE FAKE ADVERTISING
FOR ORLANDO MERCHANTS

Orlando, Jan. 3-The advertising
pointed by the board Of trade during
November, took up its work last
week. The committee is composed
of j. b. Lawton, w. G. Essington
and r. b. Brossier and is to pass on
the various advertising schemes
which transient advertisers spring
upon the advertising public, and
which are mostly without merit. but
which the merchant feels he must
come into solely because his COM
petitor is thereby parting him from
his hard earned cash, which the
schemer takes out of town with him.
A petition was circulated by a
representative of the committee
among the merchants and business
men of the city, which read I'VE,
the undersigned business men of Or
lando, hereby bind ourselves and
agree not to patronize any advertis-
ing scheme not approved by the ad-
vertising committee of the Orlando
Board Of Trade"
The petition was enthusiastically
received by the merchants and bust
ness men seen, who gave their
hearty approval to the move. The
petition was in circulation but for
an hour If the representative did
not see everyone he will shortly. To
make the protection success it is
necessary that the petition be Sion-
ed by all the representative busi-
ness people OF the city and ii the in
terest which was shown during its
circulation IS continued there is nc
/ doubt of its success.

HOT ROAST FOR BALL PLAYERS

Madison, Wis, Jan. 3 Baseball
is a life of a loafer." asserts Prof,
James Paige, of the University OF
Minnesota, in explaining why the
Western conference professors pass
ed the resolution to abolish intercol-
legiate baseball.
with the exception of a few
hours a day spent in the idle talk OF
the grocery store, the pool room, the
saloon, the moving picture show,
among not altogether desirable as
sociates," Prof Paige says, Il have
never met an athlete or any other
man who wished his boy to play
baseball for money as a member OF
a professional or semi-professional
team
"The reason why the Western in
tercollce late baseball as college
sport is because it has become SC
thoroughly eommercializcd sport
that it is practically impossible L
continue it on an amateur basis.

NATIONAL SPORT COUNCIL
TO BE FORMED IN NEAR FUTURE

Nav York, Jan AS a result
of the various meetings and confer
enccs held in New York City during
the Christmas holidays to consider
likely that a national sport councl
will he formed in the near future tc
act as a supreme court of sport The
proposition has been discussed by
leading authorities and officials OF a
number OF sport governing bodies
and the formation of the council will
probably be undertaken within the
next few months.
While the powers and objects OF
the council are at present rather
vaguely outlined it has been SllS-
gestcd that the council be composed
of the presidents of the principal
sport governing bodies such as the
national gold, tennis, billiard, col
lege athletic, amateur athletic, soc
Ger and Intercollegiate football,
fencing, shooting, skating and KIN
| dred organizations. This council, II
formed. would consider all phases OF
amateur sport in a broad and imper-
sonal manner It's powers would be
limited in a general way to advisory
suggestions bearing upon new rul-
ings for the improvement of sport in
its national aspects ORGANIZATIONS
specifically effected by such sugges'
tions would not be obligated to ac'
cept the same but it is thought thai
such an amateur sports clearlne
house would materially improve con
ditions and brina about greater har
mony and cooperation among th'
various associations now controlllnt
the principal amateur sprts OF tho
nation.
