Opposed to Professional Athletes Who Go Prof. E. L. Richards, chairman of the Yale | athletic advisory committee, speaking of the graduates from Yale athletic teams, recently | id ‘OF late years it has seemed to be the grow: | tom to offer increased indncements for ng athletes to come to college. In many cases those importations have been in- duced by a Gnancial consideration, though often otherwise. It has come now to be a reality that the college giving the biggest inducement has caught the best athletes. I am a firm be- liever in governing athletes in an educational institution by an educational standard, and allowing only men who come tocollege to study to compose the athletic teams. There is prac- tieally no examination required for entrance to ar professional schools, and here the evil of | congregating those perennial athletes or ‘rev- elers’ is witnessed, | “At the perpetuation of this system the rule recently adopted is aimed. It has been felt to bea necessity for some time. Last fail at meeting of the Yale athletic advisory comm: tee it was finally decided to put the rule in op- eration, and this will be done. The captains of | the athietie teams acted on our advice. ‘The | constitution of the Athletic Association allows the captains of the various teams to decide just what men shall compose their teams. ‘The new rule will be adopted in due ordi fove, the mass meeting of the university called for Wednesday night has been summoned.” Prof. Kichards was asked whether he did not think it unjust to keep « member of a graduate | school who had just come here with an und: standing that he would be allowed to play with | the athletic teams from becoming a member of | those teams through any such rule as that just adopted right in the middle of the season. ” said Prof. Richards, “while a college gets one good plaver by such an accession to ing prom: three candid: graduate d knowled, the position in the under- nt are shut out by the that there is a sure candidate for the | thas the three men lose the valuable | they would get in training. As to | putting this rule mto execution in the middle | of aseason—because a robber's friends have Jan easy time in sacking a town, it is no | reason that he should not be pounced upon in | his depredations, ix it? We want to get rid of | all such men, if ‘there are any in college, and | as there does not seem to be any other way at hand the proposed new rule seems to ais their case pretty hard.” Peter Spencer, the Plunger, Dead. encer, famous for his ability to pick out the winning horse and for the amount of money he made on betting, is dead. He was | -known resort at Bowery and Hester streets, New York, and was worth $100,000, a large part of which was made p! ing the reces. Me had a great faculty for hit- ting upon winning horses, and almost daily | sent ageuts to the various pool rooms in the city. So persistently did he win that many porting men made it « practice never to bet ntil Spencer's agents had ap; and placed their money. Then they would bet likewise. Slosson Hard at Work. George Slosson is hard at work practicing for his matches with Jake Schacfer. He will not attempt to improve his style at cushion caroms until the balk line match takes place, which will be the latter part of April. His play so far has been nothing more than ordinary—that is ordin- noon and evening games his average has varied, for the most part between 20 and 30. Sometimes he gets as high as 50 and 60, and oceasioually he fallsas lowas 17. Following bis uvual custom when preparing for a match, he bas stopped smokingand drinking.

Ata largely attended meeting of the Federa- tion of Labor last evening the following reso- lutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas the hours of labor of clerks in the government departments in the city of Wash- ington have for many years been fixed at seven hours per day; and 3 Whereas an effort is now being made to in- | lighta of the Washington county bar, the presi | and other prominent Washington county insti- tutions, followed today by that of M. 8.

To the Fditor of The Evening Star I wish to say a few words on the above sub- ject, as viewed by one of the “pensioners in office,” in reply to the communication of W. A. T.m Tue Stan. Would Congress enact a law | requiring all persons employed in the govern- ment civil service having a private income to forfeit the same to the government during their tenure of office? When I enlisted to aid | in preserving the Union as it is I did so with a firm faith that the government would provide for me in case I should become disabled in her | service, and 1 freely acknowledge that I was not | mistaken. I was wounded by the enemy's while in line of duty, and was pensioned under | the general laws for the disability I incurred. | ‘That matter was equitably and finally adjusted without the forfeiture of any of my rights as a citizen or debarring me from secking em- oyment in any vocation. Years afteward F'found employment in one of the depart- ments and have had no trouble in retaining my ince. While so e:nployed I have never claimed exemption or preferment on account of my service or my wounds. ‘The record will show that my work is equal in quality and quantity to that of civilian clerks employed upon the same work who receive #200 and €400 more per year than Ido. My case does not differ from the cases of a majority of the “pension- | ers in office.” In most cases our pensions are expended (and frequently a good slice off our salaries) in physician's and druggist’s bills to alleviate our terrible suffering and enabje eep at our desks, We claim to have an equita~ ble right to our pensions, and we claim to have anequal right with civilians to work for the government we helped to save at an equal com- | pensation, So long as we perform sutiefactory service in the departments we should be exempt from persecution and our vested rights should be respected. It appears that the only offense | we are charged with ix that we were mained and disabled while fighting for the government and are oned for our disabilities, A few “W, A. T's” begrudge cs our pensions, but not | our disabilities. “W. A. T,” asserts that “If the matter could be tested not one of the large army of pen- sioned officeholders would be willing to give up hs position for the take of retaining his pen- sion.” L would be one among many pensioners who would resign before such a bill could affect us. There is u question of principle involved that “W. A. T-” does not understand, We have fuil faith in the integrity of our lawmakers, re- gardless of polities, and we do not fear that they will deprive ‘us of @ pension they so graciously bestowed. GR M. pik Surrendered by His Bondsman. In the Criminal Court this morning, Mr. Henry P. Waggaman, surety for Wm. Simms, who is charged with assault and battery with in- tent to kill, appeared and asked to surrender him. Mr. Clagett stated that Simms had been in the employment of Mr. Waggainan and was now under arrest for drunkenness and was in the custody of the Police Court and asked for a bench warrant, which was issued. He was brought up and committed. — ‘A Suit for Damages. Theodore L. Trimmer, by next friend, through W. G. Raines and G. W.
