NEW YORK.-What is an
amateur?
He's a tennis player who can
accept SIS a day for expenses.
But if, as a track man, he pays
1925 for a meal he's a pro.
He's a golfer who must pay
his own tournament freight at
all times except in rare instances
when he's playing for Uncle Sam
on the Walker Cup team or in
an intercollegiate meet for his
college.
He's a trapshooter who can
accept an unlimited cash prize
as an amateur, can't take any
thing if he's a professional.
He's a tennis player who can
be equipped with a half dozen
recquetS and a. drawer full of
strings-all for freely a sport
ing goods firm. But if a golfer
does the same, the USGA throws
him out on his ear.
Tennis Player Spends More.
He's a track man who can't
spend more than $40 a day for
room and board but if he
happens to be adept at hitting
a tennis ball he can go $5 higher.
An amateur is a crack. foot
ball halfback who can accept a
college scholarship plus a grant,
in-aid-side money for books
and board-without jeopardizing
his simon-pure standing.
Track men can take scholar
ships, too, without incurring
anybody's ire but just let a
golfer or tennis player try it and
-boom-he automatically be-
comes a professional.
An amateur is a tennis player
who can travel around the lush
play spots of the world on an
unending expense account but,
if he tries it in golf, he gets the
back of the USGA's hand.
Golf Code Strict.
The golf code is by far the
strictest. A player can't accept
expense money, can't get free
equipment and can't receive a
scholarship for golf ability alone.
Once there was a law that a man
who taught any sport-a football
coach, for instance-Was pro
in golf. This has been changed.

How to Define an Amateur:
1t Depends Upon the Sport

Tennis restrictions are liberal
and getting lighter. Players are
allowed first-class air travel and
SIS a day for an unlimited
number Of tournaments but they
ask and get more. In Europe
especially, top-f1ight players,
such as JaroSlav Drobny. can
demand high appearance fees to
enter a tournament. The
Wimbledon champion is said to
be able to get $500 extra for
every tournament in which he
shows up.
The Amateur Athletic Union
puts a ceiling of first-class rail
tickets and $40 a day expenses
on its track and swim stars and
specifies that no more than So
shall be paid for any one meal.
TrapShOoters Have Odd Plan.
The National Collegiate Ath-
letic ASsociation-after fumbling
around with the sanity code
has a vague rule on college
scholarships which permits
grants-in-aid. The only limit is
institutional control.
TrapShooters have the unique
arrangement which permits only
amateurs to accept prize money
such as the $4,000 to the Grand
American champion at Vandalia,
Ohio-but the pros, who work
for shotgun concerns, aren't per-
mitted to take a penny.
But the most realistic attitude
is held by the ice hockey people
in Canada. who pay their simon
pure athletes $500 a year and
up. Highest-paid performer
probably is Jean Paul Belleveau
of the Quebec Senior Hockey
League team, who is reported to
draw $4,000 a year.
Belleveau has to turn pro this
year or be drafted by Montreal
in the pro National Hockey
League. Tough luck. It'll mean a
so per cent cut in salary.

OF course, I can't ride! Look,
Ma, No Hands," or even pedal
and toot the horn simultane-
ously, but in two hours l
learned to stick on; so I am
full of advice for the ladies
who wrote the Clearing House
for help.
Age is no consideration. am
older than Time, and recently
a delighted friend who won't
admit to more than 70
took a long look at my free
style and said, II can do that"
and she did. Ingredients: One
bike and you. Don't form a
club of amateurs. Terrorized
cats and motorists climb trees
when I heave into view on a
cycle. A club could cause a
shortage of adequate refuge for
standers-by. Why, only yes
terday I am scudding along
when an ignorant dog yells
where's the fire?" and runs
ahead of me, but intermit-
tently. My progress is ir-
revocable, so naturally I run
him down and sustain con-
siderable damage to my con-
ceit and attire. All clothes
promptly secede from my
south side and I am forced
to proceed home wearing the
delighted creature draped
carefully to the rear as a
patch. Emergencies arise, but
so will you.
Enlist school patrols to stop
traffic at street corners. At
first you can't stop, but cars
are eager to, if properly noti-
fed. Choose a straight street,
no hills up or down. Get on
the bike and pedal like mad.
Going fast aids the balance.
If you go slow you will fall
of, first to the right and then
to the left, necessarily. No
sensible person will fall off
while going fast. When you
see the end of your straight
line trip approaching, take
your feet off the pedals and
use them for ground brakes.
OF couSe. you can back-pedal
for braking. 1t is more pro-
fesSional, but give due con-
Sideration to the inevitable
aerial gymnastics involved.
After learning to ride fast,
learn to ride slowly. Bank
for corners by leaning to the
inside of the circle. Now you
are a finished product. Go
forth and terrorize the town.
One warning. Never ride a
bike on country roads. No
motorist expects it, and the
highways are either too mar
row or too fast.

MIAMI.
Mrs. F. A. B., Arlington
For Mrs. j. T. K, Silver
Spring: For your trip to Mi
ami, be prepared for warm
weather for it can be hot there
in October. Summer clothes
are all right but I would sug-
gest the darker colors in
stead of very light sheers such
as we wear in July and August
up here. Of course bright
colors are always good in
Florida, too.
But do not fail to take a
warm coat or a little warm
clothing of some kind because
It can turn cool quite suddenly,
especially on the ocean side of
Florida. But the cool spell
will only last for a day or so
and then it will be warm
again.
Travellers checks are the
safest way to carry your
money and it is a relief not
to have to worry about it.
Any bank is usually glad to
cash them for you and most
large filling stations. Stores
are not too keen about it but
I have even had them accepted
there when paying for a pur-
chase.
