CRUASDE AGAINST
 PROSELYTING EVIL
Presidents of Colleges Say it De- moraIizes Preparatory Schools

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-A cam paign for the purification of college and school athletics was launched here yesterday at meeting of the Association of College Presidents or Pennsylvania. The association, Whlch includes in it's membership the heads of all the prominent educational in stitutions in this state, decided 10 aGopt a one-year residence rule for students coming from other colleges and to frown upon the practice or granting scholarships for athletic ability. This method of proselyting is regarded by the association as de- moralizing to the preparatory schools.
 After a protracted debate as to the best methods of eliminating intercol-
 legiate athletic practices, which, speakers declared, were rapidly sub
 ordinating intellectual development to athletic superiority, the problem
 was placed In the hands of com
 mittee consisting of Dr. J. w. A.
 Haas of Muhlenberg, chairman; Dr.
 E. E. Sparks of Penn State, Dr. Isaac
 Sharpless of Haverford, Dr. William
 A. Granville of Gettysburg, and Dr.
 S. R. Linhart of the University of. Pittsburgh. ..
 The committee adopted the follow ing resolution:
 tt is the sense of this body that the
 migratory rule, that Is, the rule that
 student coming from one institution
 to another shall be registered as a
 student in the latter institution for
 one year before being permitted to#
 take part fin intercollegiate activities,
 should be adopted by all institutions. | (colIeges and universities) in Penn syIvania. "It Is the sense of this body that the that 1t is prejudicial to the best in- terests and good name of our colleges and universities to grant scholarships on account of athletic ability"
 pr. Edgar F. Smith, provost of the 1 University of Pennsylvania, is presi- dent of the association.
 | pr. Sparks, in opening the debate before the appointment of the conn-3
 mittee. declared that the whole ath- Ietic situation in the colleges today is abnormal. 'I am not opposed to the
 diversion of athletics from its origins q purpose. I believe that interest in college athletics grew out of the de- sire to play. But at present there is
 very little play provided.
 l Ut is necessary for each institu-
 ton to have highly trained teams in every game or contest, and the | greater number of students simply
 stand on the side lines and look on.
 think if we required each student
 to have legal residence in the col@ | iege for one year before being per-
 ,nitted to participate in athletic con- | tests, we would do away to a large degree with the migration of athletes
 and the angling after preparatory 1 school stars by large institutions. Dr. Granville bitterly denounced l college athletics as at present com ducted. T know this is perilous | ground for college presidents to ex-. i plore but I am willing to become an
 ex- president, if necessary, to fight this thing through" he said. "Our 1 institutions were endowed with prS- l vate and public moneys intended to | provide education for the youth, not
 sporting amusement for the public"

Red Sox, Tigers and White Sox have the way to first place in the American league pretty we'll blocked from any other club.
 But there is at least one camp ft flower who figures otherwise. Re- gardless of the fate which has pur- sued the Browns for many seasons, this man believes that Fielder Jones is genius enough to disperse the boodoo and report with the merchan- disc He recently put before Jack Doyle the proposition to bet $1,O00 against s1o,000 that Fielder Jones landed not only the 1916 pennant, but the world series championship. Any pcp-eyed fan with $10,000 who doesn't believe the Browns will be 1916 champs can get action here in a brief interval of time Perhaps.

 Around the Ringside.
 It was a good mill and everyone ap- preciated it.
 Jimmy Murphy certainly covered himself with glory. This boy will bear watching, don't forget it.
 In our midst last evening was that redoubtable trainer of alleged cham- pions, MT. T. F. Cunning of Hartford This fellow does not care any more for the spot light than a farmer does for @ load of hay. When his part of the evenings entertainment was over, he insisted on sitting on the stage where the calcium lights would play on him. Hereafter managers should hang his picture over the ring.
 Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport was introduced as one of the next participants in a coming show in this city. He is anxious to meet "Semmy" Waltz of Hartford.
 Ding Prendergast entertained the crowd during the wait for the star millers, by his attempts to brace up the ropes of the ring. Ding" holds the indoor and outdoor records as a bracer in this section
 Charley Bergen was introduced and he challenged the winner of the Drummie- Medar bout. Our old friends George Mulligan and Joe "Kid'' Shea were at the ring side. Neither has lost any of their popularity judging from the reception | they received. ] Manager Walsh showed that he in}- tends to conduct bouts along the prop CT lines, when he entered the ring and 1 warned the "hoodlums'' that the bouts would be stopped if they continued i with their noise. Walsh has the fans and authorities with him in this. Joe Ryan has been signed by the matchmaker of the Liberty A. c. of Hartford to box Young Mack of Mer- iden in the preliminary of the Waltz l Ketchell bout in East Hartford on February g. The boys met recently in 1 this city.
 It was learned last evening that tn e return match between Battling Lahn and Semmy Waltz is practically com 1 pleted.

The Sole Survivor.

Jones is practically the sole sur vivor of his last world series outfit. They go fast in this game, once the impetus is imparted. He won his last big series less than nine years ago. yet the entire list has faded out. Billy Sullivan, Ed Walsh, Nick AL trock, Doc White, Jiggs Donahue, Frank IsbeI. George Davis, Lee Tan rehill, Pat Dougherty. George Rohe and Hahn have skidded from the white flame. Walsh is still around,
 but apparently all through. The others left the Big Tent well behind.

Then and Now

Forty-fve years ago in certain American cities there was a law to the effect that any ball player caught on the street after dark was to be arrested and locked up as a bum.
 Ten years ago airy man caught with a golf or tennis outfit on his person was immediately branded in business circles as loafer and No-Use-AtAll.
 In place of being help, golf and tennis crlmped the bank roll and left e dent in ones business status.
 But when Everyone, as the saying 1G. began doing it, a sudden change arrived. In place of being a, draw back, ability to get around in 72 or slam one to the back line suddenly became a keen financial asset. A champion golfer or a champion tennis player, whether engaged in the in surance, sporting goods, tailoring or what-not business, began to find his bank roll bulginG, largely through the flme secured upon the field.
 The Change.
 Quite naturally, this sudden change in affairs upsea those controlling, or attempting to control the destinies of amateur sport. Now the tangle Is terrific. The sudden shift in the viewpoint of the sporting public has tossed various Censors into un- Ilumbed depths.
 This is shown in the case of the Lawn Tennis association. It has ruled that one who sells tennis goods exclusively is 8 professional; but that one who sells tennis goods in fair pro- portion with other products is not a professional.
 Obviously this ruling is farce. If Mclaughlin and Bundy are to be rated professionals for opening a sporting goods store, so must all tennis players be so rated now en- gagged as salesmen in any sporting goods house. There is no other way out.
 The man who sells $100 worth o1 tennis goods a week is as much g Drofessional-or as much an amateur as one who sells $1,000 worth. A player who gets $50 a month play. ing ball is as much a professional as Tv Cobb.

Gaudette and Myers by their brilliant work kept the league leaders in the fore in the first two frames, but the Buckle Makers were not to be denied of some of the fruits or a victory and took the final game, by six pin margin.
