AMATEUR GAMES
HIT BY D|CTATORS
Ex.Stars, Not Business Men,
Needed to Run Affairs,
Big Bill Contends.
BY BILL TILDEN.

why are so many amateur
sports officials men who never
have been prominent In the
sports they govern and often men
who never even have played the sport?
This question has puzzled me ever
since came up in tennis. I first
thought 1t peculiar to tennis but the
more meet athletes and officials in
other sports, the more it seems q
general condition.
Perhaps these positions provide
outlet for the dictator" complex
inherent in many men. Some anna
teur officials. successful generally,
nevertheless cannot make their word
law at home, in business or in social
life.
SO they find satisfaction in auto
cratically running the destinies Of
the athletes.
Bill Suffered as Amateur.
OTHERS who never reached fame
in sport, but who played it.,
find solace in thinking they control
the men who actually gain fame on
the field.
Certainly once this sort gets in Of
flce, he has delusions Of knowledge
Of the game, amounting almost to
an obsession.
Every year as an amateur I SUI
fered through hours OF advice on how
to play tennis, how to make strokes,
how to beat this player and why
lost to that one-from men who, at
their best could not win game in
three sets from me.
It was amusing most Of the time,
but not during an important Davis
Cup match.
Get . group Of such oficials in
solemn meeting and some strange
spirit closely allied to mob psychology
seises them. 1t dwarfs all tact, Il not
reason itself.
Officials Deemed Tactless.
OUCH situation apparently led to
the Eleanor Holm Jarrett case.
One ounce OF consideration and one
person with the athletes viewpoint
would have averted it.
4I Wdo III UC dkdlll al Illc OC6oC oWC1lS
affair after the Olympics.
Certainly I know the famous row,
when I was removed from the Davis
Cup squad in 1928 at Paris and REIN
stated on the eve of play due to the
tActful Intervention of Ambassador
Herrick, would not have developed
had it not been for that peculiar mob
psychology in the committee.
Sports exist only through the ability
Of the men and women who play them
and need management from the sport
ing angle. Amateur sport must be q
game not business.
Once officials regard it as CONNER
cial enterprise dictated by the gate
receipts, 1t Is professional even II the
players are not paid
No Business Men Needed.
TO-DAY many amateur sports are
50 highly organized, 10 commercial
lied BY their organizers, that all real
game flavor is gone. The only way
back Is to place players In charge.
They still have some part Of the
sgame for games sake" slant.
I can't solve it, but will say:
If amateur sport is to regain its
reality In the old sense Of the word
it must clean its official house, do
away with stuff -shirtism," break
down reorganization and centraliza-
ton and appoint men who have played
the sport.
We need stars and ex-stars, not
business men, at the head Of amateur
sports.

THE PANAMA CANAL

On August Is, 1914, the Panama
Canal was opened, but during its early
years traffic was not great, owing to land
slides which closed the channel from time
to time, and also because of the reduced
movement of shipping due to the war.
The canal was not declared officially
opened until 1920 since which time about
$4,000 commercial toll-paying vessels
have passed through it, paying tolls ex-
ceeding $500. 100000 In addition, many
American warships and other government
vessels have used the canal toll-free.
Up to 1885 expenditures in building
and improving the canal had reached $40
per cent is more than Is million dollars
a year.
Contrary to the general belief, the
Panama Canal has not been paying
proposition for the United States govern
ment, when its investment in the project is
considered. During several years the
deficit exceeded four million dollars a
year. The only way in which the canal
can be considered an asset to the federal
government is by taking into account its
supposed value to the national defense.
Whether the canal could be defended
against a first-class power in time of war
is one of the country's important military
problems. This problem did not arise dur
ing the World War, as the Central Powers
had no fleet in either the Atlantic OF
Pacific after the United States entered the
struggle.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

One of the perplexing political prob
lens is that of campaign expenditures
How much should a candidate for office
be permitted to spend in behalf of his
candidacy.
Some of the amounts expended by
candidates seem unreasonably large. and
in some cases Investigations of campaign
funds have resulted in the barring of sue
cessful candidates.
With our ever growing number Of
voters it takes lot of money to reach
every voter in the larger states with even
one piece of campaign literature. In New
York state there are about five million
voters. If single piece of literature were
sent to each of these. and the cost of each
piece, including postage, printing and adj
dressing, were only five cents. it would
take quarter of million dollars to do
the job. This sum would leave little mar
gin for the expense of compiling lists,
travel for speechmaking, newspaper adj
vertising or other expenditures inseparable
from an aggressive campaign.
In Illinois and Pennsylvania the mum
Der of voters is approximately one-third
less than in New York, so it would take
about 100000 20 reach each voter with
one piece of campaign literature and leave
a small amount for other expenses in either
of these great states.
These figures would only cover pri-
mary expenses, while in all three states
mentioned there would be additional out
lays necessary incident to the general
elections.
All of which illustrates how futile it
is, generally speaking, for poor man
without rich supporters to aspire to high
office

and yet il is almost impossible to en-
gage domestic servants there.
This peculiar situation. Mr.. Purvis
thinks. may be due either to the fact
that wage rates have not yet been
restored 70 pre-depression levels. or
to the fact that relief rates are in
some cases too high. and suggests
that both OF these causes may be OPP
Grating together. Two remedies. then.
seem to be indicated: first. let en-
plOyers pay higher wages: second. let
there be downward revision OF re-
lief payments.
Unfortunately, the farmers Of Man.
itoba and the other prairie provinces.
most OF whom are deep in debt, are
unable or indisposed to pay higher
wages. even in summer: and the mer-
chants and small manufacturers Of
Winnipeg and other cities. being none
too prosperous. cannot do much in
that direction without shifting their
added costs TO the ultimate consum-
ers. who. being mostly farmers and
wage earnerS. cannot or win not stand
for il.
Pending further recovery, there
fore, the logic of the situation seems
to point toward a more careful dis
tribution of relief payments. II not
toward a downward revision. As the
Montreal Gazette puts it: Clearly
situation Of this kind is capable Of
correction by maintaining reason
able margin between relief and the
industrial wage level. In addition, by
an adequate system Of classification
and checking il should be possible to
determine what men and women are
employable, to offer them whatever
employment is available, and If they
refuse it drop them from the relief
rolls altogether"
All of which goes to show that eco
nomic conditions and human be-
havior are much the same in Canada
as the United States.

THE YOUTH PROBLEM

From the earliest times it appears
that the problem of directing young folks
in the proper way has engaged the serious
attention of reformers and uplifters-and
busybodies
A book OH etiquette published in 1850
gravely warns young women of the perils
of the waltz and declares that unmarried
ladies should refrain from the waltz alto
gether, in public and in private 1t is as
sumed that married ladies were supposed
to be immune to its demoralizing effects.
Every once in a while someone digs
up an old newspaper or magazine contain
ing an article which throws light on this
tendency to worry about the young people
of the past. The boys and girls of the
present generation are causing consterna-
ton among the self-appointed guardians
of morality.
There is little reason, however, for
believing that the young folks of 1897 are
any worse, morally or otherwise, than
those of former times. Like others before
them, they will probably grow up to worry
about their own children and grandchil-
dren.
