that has como out OF the countrywide
discussion Of tho amateur question as

Is the statemen. issued over the names
OF Richard Norris Williams I'd, ma

In brief. Williams and Nightman
make strong plea for those men who
have already entered the sporting
goods business and are hence under a
cloud as regards their amateur stand

Some Salient Points
The statement covers a couple OF
thousand words and goes into the sub
ieot under discussion IN more or less
detail. but il viii satisfy our purpose
here 10 pick out the salient points and
comment upon tfcm.
Williams and Wightman admit the
worthy motives prompting the national
association in advocating the barring
from competition Of men engaged in
me sporting goods business, but they
strongly object TO the methods 10 be en-
ployed, believing that II would work an
irreps rsble injury 10 those players who
already have gone into such trade. IL
other words, they do not believe the
proposed rule should be retroactive,
Int should apply only 20 those who
enter the sporting goods business after
me passage Of the rule due notice ha'.
ng been given.
Undoserving Of Black Eye
There are instances. "a the national
champion says, where a player has

Sound a Timely Warning

in truth a matter Of heritage. and other
they possessed into this entirely legtl-
mate business enterprise. These men,
according to Williams and Wightman,
should not be given black eye" in
the minds OF the public when no harm
has come from their acts so far.
The statement quotes George Town
send Adee, president Of the L. ). NJ.
/. T. A.. in support OF the declaration
that little harm has yet been done by
such cases. Mr.. Adee, in his letter 10
the various clubs and associations last
summer, said: Little harm has re-
suited up 10 date from tennis players
entering the tennis goods business, but
the tendency TO enter this line Of work
Is increasing, and unless checked will
develop into serious abuse
Using this official statement as
basis, Williams and Wightman argue
that II the danger is only a future one
it may be easily and effectively guarded
against by enacting an amateur rule,
very strict I'm its terms. which should
apply 20 all players who enter into that
business after the passage OF the rule.
1T seems terrible TO US" says the
statement, "to think Of barring these
men, against whom we have all played
many times, and whose true sports
manship has been tried again and
again. Is 10 not true that there is a
iaost fortunate solution i'm the rule we
propose. whereby we can keep for the
game OF lawn tennis what we already
have, and can enact precautionary
measures for the future generations ,"

TIMES
AT STATE

A4 S&AGG GAR11AL. J.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Oct. THAT
there viii be a change in the form Of
owners application for auto licenses
for 1915 was announced today from the
office of State Secretary Ed Jackson:
Owing to the large increase of bust
ness in the automobile department in
the office OF the secretary Of state, II
becomes necessary 70 make a change in
the forms of applications for owners
automobile licenses. TO which the at
tention of all owners OF automobiles is
called.
For the year 1917. about 20o.oo
automobile licenses will have been issu-
ed and this change In form is made for
the purpose of expediting the issuing OF
licenses and making prompt deliveries
during the year 1915 and 10 meet this
increased business some radical changes
IN the issuing of licenses must be made.
Automobile owners are warned that no
application made on the old form will
be accepted and it is important that
prompt service may be given that APP
plications be made on the new form. 1t
is requested that as soon as the present
year ends that all old forms for owners
licenses be destroyed and use only the
new. All applications for licenses on
the old form VIII be returned for cor
~rection. Under the new application form,
the applicant viii be required to fill all
blank spaces, there being two oupons,
one for 6ling purposes and the other.
the applicants certificate, both Of which
must be filled by the applicant. thus
the owner will receive his certificate at
the same time he receives his license
plates. both being given to the pur-
chaser at the same time.
Dealers. notary publics and others
who make applications for licenses
should make acquisitions for blanks
early IN the season. All acquisitions
received at an early date viii be placed
on file and q new supply sent during
the early part Of November. Dealers
and notary publics are urged 70 encour-
age making owners applications as
early as possible. to avoid the greai
rush that is sure to come after the first
Of the New Year. The first shipment OF
license plates for 1918 will be made on
December 18th and applications will be
received as early as November lst- The
public can very materially assist in eX'
pediting the issuing Of license plate By
making applications before the end OF
the present year and dealers notary
publics and all others are urged TO en-
courage early applications and impress
upon the minds Of owners the chahse II
rhe forms of applications. There VII
be no material change in the forms TO
motorcycles. ehaufeurs and other ap
plications. All application forms VII
be known BY numbers.
