AMATEUR SPORT BIG
AFTER-WAR PROBLEM
Professionals Will Continue to

Resumption Of Golf and Tennis VIII
Place These Sports on Footing
Never Before Observation-Disclosures
Will Be Revived.

Afterthe.war problems confronting
the sport world include questions of
what Is going to happen In the ranks
Of the amateurs2
Amateur sports always have been d.
vided into two classes--amateurs which
competed with professionals and ANA
tours which had the field practically
to themselves.
In the latter class may be grouped
football, basketball. track and field
games and other such sports. Baseball
and boxing are the two most prominent
Of the professional sports competing
with amateurs and which give wide
margin to the professionals, writes II.
G. Hamilton in New York dispatch
to Chicago Evening Post.
Baseball probably will continue the
uneven tenor Of its long and troubled
existence. The professionals will con.
tinue to dominate the game. Amateur
baseball is so decidedly lacking In at

class professionals perform that It has
no hold on the nation.
OCCASIONALLY there are games among
the amateurs which produce such phe-
nomena as that which attended a game
in Cleveland where $4,000 persons were
present ut a game for the amateur
championship. But they are rare--ex-
tremely so.
The same facts hold good for box
ing.
Therefore, the conclusion may be
drawn that, despite the popularity of
sports In army and navy, the American
public will continue to patronize the
professionals instead Of staging Its own
entertainment.
This will not hold good In golf and
tennis, which, as amateur sports, have
vet to be touched by the hand Of the
professionals to a great extent. Golf
enjoys Its professional tournaments,
which are greatly similar to It's anna.

The resumption OF golf probably will
