DECLARES TENNIS
PLAYERS RECEIVED
MONEY ON TRIPS

New York, Feb. Robert D.
Wrenn is chairman of a committee
to conduct vigorous campaign for
the proposed amateur rule which will
come up for action at the annual
meeting Of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association on Febru-
airy 8.
The fact that the New York Lawn
Tennis club, one of the Oldest mem
bers Of the national association, came
out fatty on Tuesday night in opposi-
ton to the amateur rule worked up
the committee to greater activity yes
terday. A lengthy circular letter as
to reasons why it was imperative that
the rule be established was prepared,
printed and arrangements made to
mail it throughout the country.
The committee has been busHy en-
gagged in securing Evidence from vari-
professional practices Of some of our
players.
An effort is being made to comb
out the evidence which will show fla
grant attractions of the amateur spir-
it and rule. Some Of the clubs have
indicated that they are sceptical as
to any real concentrating of play
ers They want to be shown.
A hint at one Of these revelations
was to the effect that as certain un-
named players journeyed across the
continent last season they took part
in certain tournaments.
Their appearance was based on
their receiving a more than gener-
GUS share of the gate receipts in lieu
Of expense money. From another
source the information was forthcom-
ing that competitor in an eastern
tournaent last season demanded and
received $1,CSO before he went out on
the courts for the edif1cation of the
lovers of the game.

Hitting The High Spots

The Players Fraternity has few
supporters left. Pitchers Tyler and
Allen and Infielder Fitzpatrick of the
Boston Braves have announced they
will not sign until Dave Fultz gives
the word.
The Fraternity leader, says he is not
downcast over the fact that Shortstop
Scott Of the Bostno Red Sox has
agreed to sign contract. He claims
Scott never agreed net to sign until
the strike question was settled.
It is said that the Army football
team may soon return to Yale's
schedule. The Army officials have
ruled that after 1917 the team may

ton to the Navy game.

Billy Sullivan, the famous old back

a score of years when he was releas-
ed by Comiskey early in 1915. Billy
began his career in the old Western
Association, playing with Cedar Rap

Rapids. While with Dubuque he
caught 124 consecutive games. Sui
Ivan broke into fast company with

victory over Phil Bloom on Tuesday
night, Benny Leonard, the Harlem
lightweight, will enter the ring
against frankie Callahan Of Brooklyn
in the main ten round bout at the
Clermont S. c., of Brooklyn this even

local boxing enthusiasts that in meet
ing Callahan, the popular Harlem
boxer, will be facing really formid-
able opponent, and many expect the
Brooklyn lightweight to force Leon
ard to extend himself to secure the
z honors of the bout. Both boxers
combine c1everness with heavy hitting
ability. and both are in fine condi-
ton.

VICTORY FOR FOLWELn.

Give the Plebeian Peanut a Chance


Peanuts are the cheapest and most
commonly used OF ell nuts, and yet
their real food value is not generally
appreciated. There is a class of vege-
tarians who use nuts, and particularly
the peanut, as a substitute for meat,
but most nuts are more expensive than
meat as sources of protein and energy,
the peanut being the exception.
The government analysis shows that
peanuts are richer in protein than any
other nut except the pine nut or pig
nolia. Ten cents spent for peanuts
will purchase more than twice as much
protein and six times as much energy
as will the same amount spent for poF-
terhouse steak.
The cost OF a pound Of protein OBJ
tanned from peanuts is only 50 cents.
while that amount from porterhOuse
steak costs at least $1.31. and q pound
OF protein from cheese about So cents.
