( DUBLIN, July I7.-Eamonn De Va

Irish Republicans, were released from
Arbor Hill Barracks last evening.
Since De Valeras arrest, while speak
ing in an election campaign last Au-
gust. he has been kept in strict con-
finement. and until few days ago

successfully taken against his COM

Manifestos have been issued from
time to time by his deputy. +. J. Rut-

lin Parliament. but there is no means
of ascertaining how far De Valera is
committed by what was said or done
in his absence.

and there is much speculation as to
whether the release of De Valera will
lead these men to reconsider their

to be good; he devoted his enforced
leisure to mathematical studies. espe-
cially of the Einstein theories.
Austin Stack has been De Valera s
chief lieutenant. In the chancery
court today the judge gave an order
that Stack be produced to give evil

Sim pletonS in Sport

THEY going to bar Bill Tden, the greatest tennis
player Of all time from the amateur game because
"he trades on what he knows" In other words Bill
writes about tennis for the newspapers AT price the
while he plays tennis as an amateur for cups and
and things His offense lies in his acceptance OF
pay for his writings and the eminent and discriminating
judicial minds at the head of that branch of sports look
on such conduct as professionalism
II is silly enough to invite outlaws. Amateur sport,
which is sport without pay does not bring its devotees
their living On the contrary IL makes them pay heavily
for the privilege of being amateurs Hence they must
have incomes from other sources-they must work II
they will trade on what they know" that is about
they have no inherited wealth. If they work, II naturally
follows that they viii trade what they know as that
is about the only way outside Of bandtry or bogus oil
stock that man may get money for his living in this
harsh world. Only smpletons would attempt any other
method and come to think of it, only smpeons would
suggest insist that attempt TO trade on what he
doesn't know The tennis judges TO belong TO this
latter class.
