NEW DEFINITION OF
 AMATEUR WILL BE
 PLACED IN RULES
Adopted at Recent Meeting of COnference-EXecutive Committee Will RecOm-
 mend Changes

New York, January 16.-Propositions of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletics of America here March for the adoption of a new code of eligibility relative only to amateurs, were discussed at a joint meeting of the executive and advisory committees of that organization here today. The committees recommended the striking out of article 20 of the constitution which covers the definition of an anna teur and toinsert in it's place the anna teur rule, acts of disbarment and the pardoning power voted upon and ap- proved at the sports conference held in this city during the final week of De- cember 5.
 With some changes in the phaseology the new rules are virtually the same as those suggested at the last special meeting of these two committees. If the proposed change is adopted by the Intercollegiate A. A. A. an amateur athlete, by obtaining permission from the faculty committee of his college, can compete against one or more per sons ineligible as an individual
 Another clause will permit an anna teur to take part in any public com
 
 team on which there are one or more members who are receiving pay or financial benefits, by receiving per mission from the proper faculty au- thoritity. This will give an amateur the right to play summer baseball without infringing the amateur rule.
 A third clause deals with amateurs playing as members of team against another team, one or more members of which are ineligible to compete as anna teurs. This will be permissible when the team competed against represents a well established organization and the contest or exhibition is in generally recognized sport and between either groups of players participating at one time or consisting of a series of indi- vidual contests, which both as to num- Der and character would constitute q generally recognized series of events.
 Where an amateur has ceased to be eligible through having committed an act through ignorance of the character and not the consequence thereof, the committees recommend that the eXecu- tive committee shall have the power of relieving such a person of the effecI of his commission, when shown to it's satisfaction that the act was com mitted through inadvertence or error in a sport which at the time there was no general competition by amateurs or was made obligatory by military authority

QUESTION OF FREE
 TRANSPORTATION
 NOT CAUSE STRIFE
Leading Golfers of Western Association Will Accept Offer of California
 Club

Chicago January 16.-Leading members of the Western Golf association expect no war over the question of accepting free transportation to California next summer at the invitation of the Del Monte Country club, despite the rather heated discussion last night, which preceded the award of the amateur championship meet to the coast organization.
 That the directors of the association probably would vote to accept the courte sy of the special train offered was pre- dicted tonight by golfer in close touch with the directors. The delegates at the annual meeting expressed by vote their sense that the invitation be accepted. The board is not expected to meet for two or three months.
 'rThe Western Golf association is a SOW ereign body; it can make it's own rules regarding amateurism, including the tech nical phases involved in the Del Monte offer,'' said the golfer mentioned above.

 The district in the vicinity of the aviation field had been repeatedly searched after bombs had been dropped by aviators. It is probable that the bomb found by the children had been driven into the ground and only be- came exposed by heavy rains.

German Success at Verdun.

Evidence that the Germans have not
relnquished their design upon Verdun
appears in a new attack west Of the
Mouse, where the latest achievement is
the capture of the village of Malan-
court, which the French evacuated after
fierce fight. This achievement is
viewed as of considerable significance in
view Of the fact that Malancourt COM
mands certain roads of great i'm
portanee in the maintenance Of sup
plies and communications. The French
claim merely to have withdrawn from
tho village to a stronger position at the
southeastern edge, but this does not
alter the fact that the German advance
was of moment inasmuch as the French
held the village outpost with despera-
ton as long as it was possible. The &C.
tual advances are not great In point Of
distance, but for strategic purposes
Malancourt was highly desirable.
1t is evidently the German purpose
at present to smash in the French
salient at Malancourt, Avocourt and
Bsthiacourt. If this can be accomplish

Relief for Augusta.

The city of Augusta, swept by a most
devastating fire some days ago, needs
help. It was thought at first by the
municipal authorities and the leading
citizens that they could care for the
needs of the people through their own
subscriptions. Some $4,000 was raised
in this manner. But it was found that
this was not adequate and more could
not be supplied in Augusta owing to
the general devastation of the fire.
which affected all classes Of people. So
an appeal has been issued for assist
ance, and it will doubtless be answered
generously and promptly. The Star has
announced it's willingness to receive,
acknowledge and forward to the Augusta
relief committee all contributions of
cash for this purpose. Early giving is
urgently required, for many hundreds
of people are homeless, business is
paralyzed, and there is acute suffering
among the victims of the conflagration.
Not only all Georgians now living in
Washington but others will doubtless
be moved to give to this most worthy
cause. The Districts subscription for
Augustus relief should be large.

employed for the assaults and ammu-
milton in unstinted quantities is being
expended. It is in truth Of the most
vital importance to the German cause
that definite gains be accomplished at
Verdun, where for six weeks a battle of
appalling ferocity has been waged for
specific goal, with terrible losses. A
failure to reach that goal would react
most seriously in Germany and SO, even
though the military advantage ultimate
ly to be gained by the capture Of Yer
dun is questionable, the German COM
manders are compelled to continue in
order to avoid the defeat of non accom-
plishment.
Therefore, the Crown Prince keeps
hammering away. He is fighting for a
great stake personally. Should he sue
coed in taking Verdun, at whatever
cost, he will be the foremost military
figure in Germany. If he fails, whatever
the territorial gains accomplished, the
sacrifices that have been made by him
will, when the truth is known, cause him
to be probably the most execrated.
