Amateur Won't Rule
In Peace-Time Sport
RY II. C. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-After-the-
war problems confronting the sport
world include questions of what is
going to happen in the ranks of the
amateurs.
Amateur sports always nave been
divided in two cIasses-ama(eurs
which competed with professionals
and amateurs which had the field
practically to themselves.
In the latter class may be grouped
football. basketball. track and field
games, and other sue sports. Base
ball and boxing are the two most
prominent of the professional sports
competing with amateurs. and which
gives a wide margin to the profession
ais.
Baseball probably will continue the
Uneven tenor OF Its long and troubled
Fxistenee. The professionals will.
continue to- dominate the gmae. Am
ateur baseball Is so decidedly lacking
in attractiveness to the persons who
have become accustomed to seeing
high-class professionals perform that
it has no hold on the nation. Occa-
sionally there are games among the
amateurs which produce such. phe-
nomena as hat which attended a
game in Cleveland when $4,000 per-
sons were present at a game for the
amateur championship. But they are
rare-extremelye 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 Ameri-
can public will continue to patronize
the professionals Instead o~fs.staging
its own entertainment.
This will not mold good for golf
and tennis which. as amateur sports.
have yet to be touhed by the hand of
professionals greaf extent Golf

OUR PUNISHABLE" CONSTITUTION.

THAT little organ of big business the Oregon Voter is
much concerned over the alleged destruction of the
Oregon constitution by the initiative and asserts that
stable government Is impossible as long as a majority
vote OF ballots cast no matter how small proportion Of
voters vete, pass amendment to the constitution
proposed by initiative vote
There may be some merit in the contention that it
ought to be harder to pass amendment than statute
but as a rule only those who have given the subject
thought do vote upon either or statutes and
as only comparative minority either study or vote upon
them the result is intelligent verdict by thinking peo-
pie by those best qualified to pass upon the ssuesas has
been empty proven in the past.
Ii tWo-thlrds majority majority Of the reg
stered voters or OF the number of votes cast for can
ddates was required few amendments would be passed
because the rank and file have neither inclination nor
time to study the subject end pass it up The result would
be constitution as rigid the present is eastc-a re-
SUIT that would be hghy pleasing to reactionares of all
classes and most satisfactory to big business.
1t quite much the fashion among seekers of spec
la privilege TO sneer at the people it is among sesee
ers to be nosv socitous in their behalf but the people
somehow or other estimate both factions at their true
value. Neither is able to fool them all the tme-and the
recorded judgments of the people compare most avorabv
with those OF the legislature The people pass fewer
tfeak bills than our Wlse-acre solons.
No one has any to fear the verdict of the peo-
pie even though expressed by minority unless he is
seeking something ordOing something that will not stand
the glare of puhcitymuch less reason than to fear the
legislature for the people inherently believe in the SQUARE
deal End the legislature in og-rong The people make
honest mlstakesthose of legislatures are not always
n0nest AND the people commit bunder is it easy
Tor them to remedy it under the present system? And
somehow other, manage to progress DESPITE our
unstable constitution.
The greatest value however of the Oregon system is
the TACT that it leads the people to study government to
think public issues to form judgments and deve
ones them IN American citizenship IF it did nothing
more than secure these beneficial results has proved it,
self we'll worth while. ~"
