That Amateur Puzzle.

The question as to the amateur code
is developing into very broad field.
People are beginning to realize that
the principal thing to do is to de-
velop a clean. fair amateur spirit. In
the early days it was accepted as a
truism that man who did anything
that was forbidden by the amateur
code became professional and moth
ing that he could do thereafter could
alter matters. We have gone so far
afield from this idea that we make
men professionals one day on account
of some act of theirs. and reinstate
them as amateurs the next when they
stop doing the forbidden thing This
is treading on dangerous ground in
deed
of his athletic prowess and ability it
is not fair to set man up against
him who has to devote the greater
part of his time to making living
some other way, and who then in
dulges in sport only for pastime. But
seem to be what troubles the amateur
himself. He likes to try out his abil-
ity against his superior. 1t is by this
means he improves. When it comes
to team games we get another ele-
ment in it; that of craftsmanship, and
shadows all else. 1t seems, however,
that team is not so DESTROYS OF
playing against superiors as is an
individual. A college nine likes to
play against professional club every
day as is an individual--the golfer.
for instance. Court tennis players like
to take on a game with a professional.
1t is probably true that the individ-
ual realizes more than does team
the value of meeting more skillful
players.
The person who seems to be the
trouble maker is the disguised anna
teur. That is, the man who makes
not his entire living. but portion
of it, by means of athletic prominence
and still wishes to compete in the
amateur ranks. The schoolboy and the
collegian are f1attered by financial Of
fers, dictated by the fact that they
are good players. and having once
made some money in this way boy
is inclined to feel that it is unfair to
deprive him of the opportunity to
make more. Just where and when his
sporting spirit changes is difficult to
analyze and nothing will give us
real information on this. except a
thorough and frank statement from
collegians and others who are ex-
pected to abide by the amateur code.
but who tacitly or openly conde
these rules for weaknesses.

MIDGET PLAYERS'IN BIG
LEAGUES MAKING GOOD

Buster Cation, who is playing third
base for the Pirates, is one of the
smallest men ever seen in the major
leagues. He is shorter than Rabbit
Maranvnle of the Braves, but is sew
eral pounds heavier. Meanwhile is
faster on his feet and more brilliant
infielder, but, Cation appears to be the
heavier batsman.
Memo Leibold of the White Sex is in
the same class with Cation and Mar
anvile as to size. Tommy Leach. who
covered third base for the Pirates for
many years, was a veritable midget,
but was a trif1e taller than Cation.
Probably the shortest and lightest
player that ever drew salary in the
National league was yale" Murphy.
who played shortstop for the Giants
III 1898. Murphy, who came from The
Yale varsity nine that year, was a
brother to the late Mike Murphy the
famous athletic trainer.
Shorty Fuller, who succeeded MuS-
ply in the Giants infield in 1894, and
Cal!iope Miller of the the Pirates IN
1889. also were little men who played
fine ball. Eddie Foster of the Wash
ingtons and Ray Schalk of the White
Sox are small in stature, too.--Chica-

SCOTT PERRY PITCHING
FOR SURPRISING SALARY

According to story told the
other day one Of the greatest pitcners
in the game is receiving salary
Of only $4,000 for this. year. The man
in question is Scott Perry of the Atm
letics. We understand that Perry
after a short period of holding out:
succumbed under the necessity OF
ready cash and signed with CONNIE
Mack for $3.50 month. AS we got
it, Perry had g. contract calling TOT
$4,000 last season. When the national
commission awarded Perry to the
Boston Nationals George Sta!ling s
wired the pitcher an offer OF S4.ooo
to finish the season with the SraVes.
Perry showed the wire to Mack VINO
told the pitcher to stock by MN. ne
promised that he would make IL
worth his while when the new con.
tracts were sent out. When ferly
got his 1919 document he found that
he was asked to pitch for $3.50
month. He demurred and raised mop
and had to give in. n, 80
Mack always has I'D a way OF
making players work Br him for less
than they could get from other clubs.
His famous 100000 infield: whlcn
won the world championship, cost
him less in salaries than Cobo cost
the Tigers that year. When Lew ma

G1eanillgs From Sportdoln
Bu Walter Camp

induce a man to go in for athletics
who does not care for them and to
whom they are a bore. Perhaps
many of these men have some definite
reason which is a good and sufficient
one, but which they are averse for
personal motives to divulge. A man
in college might have knowledge
from his own physician at home that
he ought not to exercise violently.
Such man is far from willing to
confess this to his fellows. Then.
too. there are great number of men
who, while they may be sound phys
ically. haven't knack or adaptability
in sports. These men are especially
diffident about taking part in sports.
Birdseye speaks about encouraging
daily alongside of them. 1t is diff
cult to find boys from seventeen to
twenty who are willing to do this.
A man who is a good tennis player
hardly is willing to go in and play
daily with a man who is dub,
even though he may be helping the
weaker performer to improve. A
golfer who is rated at scratch is not
very keen about going around the
course with a beginner when he
might be playing with his equal in
! rating. The same is true in practi-
cally all the sports.
Few expert players. whether pro-
to sacrifice their pleasure by taking
part with men whom they regard as
"dubs." They not only get little
pleasure out of it, but probably de-
teriorate themselves. But we GER
tanly are going to see the day come
when the public and the university
will realize that in order to get
more men interested in athletics we
must have men of high character and
good principle, who also are thor
oughly educated in the matter of
teaching athletics and producing
physical fitness. Until more of this
class of men are developed we shall
never raise the standard of the mass.

BY W. n. HOTEL

The Baltimore Tennis Association is
insisting that the Washington cham
pion team play two matches in the In
tercity title clash, one in the Monu-
meaal' city, Saturday, August %, ana
the other on the courts of the District
tftleholder week later. Louis L
Doyle. secretary of the Washington
Association, has agreed that the first
match should be played in Baltimore
ON August %. but would leave the
matter Of a second engagement to the
winner of the local championship.
Baltimore has been advertising all
season that two matches would be
played on the dates mentioned II IL
likely that the team that wins the
District title will acquiesce to this
plan
no difficulty in playing off the matches
postponed during the past week,
said Louis I. Doyle, secretary or the
organization, but if there should
happen to be any more we VIII nave
to run in clashes each week in addl-
ton to the regularly listed ones on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. Previous
to the past week we had arranged
for the playing of all postponements
BY ming in the dates left open for
that purpose. but matches that were
nreyented last Tuesday and Thursday
can be played during the week OF
August 4. But if any more postpone
ments occur we will have to inter-
Irvine them in order to declare our
winner for the District title play.
Only one match was played in the
DEPARTMENTAL League during the past
week. Commerce making a clean
sweep in an engagement with Smith
sonian to intrench itself in second
place, Commerce. with twenty-four
wins and six defeats, is six contests
behind the War team, which mas a.
clean slate of twenty victories, put
is six and a half ahead OF Interior

II the Departmental League matches
postponed from the past week are
played on August 4, War Will nave
two of its hardest clashes of the sea
son to play within a brief period
war is down to meet Commerce on
July 81 and If it plays OFF the post
ponement with Interior the following
week it will have met the now second
and third place teams within less than
ten DAYS. However, this should work
to Wars advantage and not against
it. Should War keep a clean slate
until the flag end of the season its
battles with Commerce and Interior
would add spice to the wind-up OF the
campaign.

It is planned to have a round robin
tourney in the Suburban League Ioi-
lowing the close of the regular sched-
ME in which each club would be rep
resented in two singles and two dou-
bles. Matches would be played twice
or more a week until the circle was
completed. Under the plan. as fos-
tered by Louis l. Doyle and l.. e Nell
son, the same players would not have
to appear each time. the clubs making
the selections as they saw lit. one
reason for the round robin matches
is the short schedule, so arranged as
to permit the title winner to play in
the city championship matches. The
Suburban League in previous seasons
has played to the middle of Septem-
Der. The round robin idea looks Xix
a good way to fill in the gap and is
bound to meet with the approval OF
the players in general.
At least sixty of the best known
tennis players of the country are
slated to play in the Newport invita-
ton tournament which will start on
August 4. Lieut.. Craig Biddle has
given much aid to the Newport Ten

completion of the invitation events a
tourney for children will be held.
A lot of followers of the net game
were prone TO discount the reported
prowess of Suzanne Lllenglen. the
youthful French tennis star. until she
won the English championship in
such easy fashion. For one of the
few times a youthful star was not
over press agented. Her victory at
Wimbledon has created greater inter-
est in her in the United States, but
there is little hope of seeing her in
America this year She may possibly
be induced to come next season.

School Girls Object

Nashville, Ind, Dec. 1O.-Either
the pupils of the public schools here
will have to give up skunk hunting
or they will have to change clothes
before they return to school after a
profitable skunk chase.
1t all started when girls attending
the school cpmolained to the teacher
when compelled to sit close to the
mighty skunk hunters.
The skunk hunters are standing
firm, declaring they will not forfeit
the profits of the chase.
The girls are also standing firm,
declaring they will not attend school
unless something is done with the
hunters.
The school board has taken the
matter under advisement and decis-
ion is expected within the next few
