Soccer Shown for Year

London. July Some remarkable
figures are shown in a number Of bal
ance sheets issued by several of the
big English soccer clubs as the result
Of last seasons working. EvertOn,
which lost S743 in the season 1876,
turned in a profit of $780,, which has
resulted in the club paying a per
cent dividend Gate receipts for the
season totalled S35079, and in addition
TO investing s12,500 in the war loan
the famous club carries forward the
large amount of SS6,917.

well by making profit of S8,38l, which
compares with S6l46 IN the previous

Big Athletic
Clubs Rouse
Ire Of Flynn

Mike ]. Flynn, chairman of the junior
'cross-country championship committee
Of the Metropolitan Association, is up
in arms against the big athletic organ
izations which, he maintains, entice
athletes from the smaller clubs.
"This wholesale Stealing of run
ners'," declares Flynn, "is directly re-
sponsible for the uneven competition
among the clubs of the city. The dele
gates of the local district should adopt
at its next annual meeting law that
will prevent this state of affairs.
"When an athlete breaks his novice
and in doing so looms up as promis-
ing individual agents of the big clubs
scramble all over themselves in en-
deavoring TO have him leave the small
club which he represents and JOIN
bigger organization. These lieutenants
point out the benefits TO be derived
from joining the big moguls,' and al

the loser, as during this period the big
club promises TO pay all the entry ices
incurred by the athlete.
at is known that athletes compete
in races when they are not in the pest
of condition. and thus compel their
clubs to pay their entry fees. THIS
cuts deeply into the treasury, especially
il the club should be a small one: 1t
is athletes Of this kind that have
caused the passing of the Xavier A.
A., the Star A. c., the Mott Haven A.
c.. the New West Side A. c. and many
other small clubs that were the big
clubs of not many years ago;
"This evil can be remedied If all the
athletes are compelled to pay their own
entry fees. If any of them should sue
coed in finishing in first, second or
third positions. thus gaining points for
their organizations, the money should
then be refunded to them by the CLUB:
This will do away with considerable OF
the practice of engaging in compen-
ton when the athlete positively knows
that he is not in condition TO give the
best In him. In all championship meet
ings the club should stand the expense
Of the competition of its members, pro-

Long, Hard Climb

Il took Ivy long while to establish
himself in select society. He was
born in Kansas City in 1885. His first
professional engagement took him TO
Muskagee, Of TIE Three | League. The
next year he was with Webb City, of
the Western Association, playing third
base. The following season he went 10
short.top and attracted such favorable
attention that lie was drafted by Port
land, Of the Pacific Coast League.
Portland could not find use for Oh
son and the following spring, in 1908,
loaned him 70 Hutchison, of the West
erE Association. As shortstop in lao
games that year Olson hit .225. In
1909 he was again with Portland. He
played shortstop all season, and in 2l0
games batted for an average Of .251,
stealing twenty bases meanwhile.
Charles A. Somers, president OF the
Cleveland club az that time, who also
owned the Portland team. called Olson
up to the Maps in 1911. This was
before Chapman had been acquired by
the Indians. Olson was a regular
shortstop for Cleveland this year, and
in 40 games batted .25l. He played
four consecutive years with Cleveland
and during his stay there appeared in
every infeld position.
In the spring of 1915 Lee Foil, the
Cleveland manager, asked for waivers
on Olson. Cincinnati claimed him, but
though hard up for infelders at the
time. decided TO turn him loose after
a short trial. Brooklyn put in a claim
and was awarded its present star tow
ard the end of the 1915 season. Ivy Is
still in Brooklyn. He is going to be
there for q long time 20 come, espe-
cially II he maintains his present bat
ting squirt.
Olson will do. There are better
shortstops, in the defensive idea. But
diligence and effort cover a multitude
Of baseball sins.
