34 There Really Is No Such Thing As a Professional in Sporl, EVEN THOSE PAD 0. RUNNERS A IN GAME FOR FUN Often Are Better Sportsmen Than Amateurs, Asserts Walter Trumbull. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. OU frequently see references to the professional in sport. There is no such thing. A professional may be, and frequently is, a better sportsman in spirit than the amateur, but in fact his game is his business. Sport, as a matter or true definition, is play, frolic, amusement, fun. Earning a living from skill at games is a profession and an honoralde one. ‘There is no quarrel with material re- wards, if fairly gained. But no player of a game is remembered solely for what he made out of it. For professional or amateur there are intangible rewards which rust cannot corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. ‘When Babe Ruth hits a home run or ‘Walter Hagen breaks a course record, I doubt whether either one of them ever pauses to think of what it may mean in dollars and cents. Man o' War, a pro- fessional, since he ran for money, cer- tainly never thought of the purse as he came under the wire. Here are competi- tors filled to the exclusion of all else with the will to win. Their fame will rest, not on what they made, but on ‘what they did. Often in this game of life we do not recognize at the moment the effort ‘which brings the lasting reward. There, for example, is Henry Strong Durand who died recently in Paris. Shakespeare says “The eagle suffers little birds to sing,” yet Dr. Durand, inventor of sur- gical methods, donator of parks, & man who had a distinguished, successful ca- reer, will be remembered mainly for & song. When an undergraduate at Yale he wrote “Bright College Years,” the last line of which runs, “For God, for coun- try and for Yale,” claimed by Harvard men to be the greatest example of anti- climax in the English language. But it is that youthful anthem which will keep Durand’s memory green. And s0 it frequently happens that some pointed act of sportsmanship, im- pulsively made, will leave its mark on the sands of time to remain long after high-bullt structures have colla] and been washed away by the ess roll- ing_o! the years. 'he real rewards which sport offers are far beyond physical upbuilding or amusement and relaxation, Competi- tive sport is a futile thing unless it de~ velops such qualities as courage, initia- tive, patience, self-sacrifice and leader- ship. The player who finds none of these in rt derives neither pleasure nor profit from it. Unless sport teaches him sportsmanship, it would be nation are more than mere y places of entertainment. They are the proving grounds of youth. Tt §8 there that you may see how the player acts in an emergency and how SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1929.

And have you ever considered the vast opportu- nltglwm::h games offer for observation? )l the thousands of base ball, foot ball and golf games played in a season, no two are exactly alike. New situa- tions, new problems, new_opportunities constantly are arising. No completer test of mechanical and mental ability could be offered. In the heat of com- pe 5 and spo; ip show themselves for what they are. But flelds of sport are more than roving grounds. ~‘There is no boy of ation who does not vision himself as the hero of & game. In his brightest dreams he brilliantly snatches victory from defeat and hears the excited plaudits of the throng. And if he has the heart and brain and the necessary stamina or strength or speed, and if he gets the breaks, some fleld of sport is sure to be situated in the land where dreams come true.

Rosanna Robinson, former wife of Paul | Thomas J. Hickey of the American Ase Berlenbach of New York, former junior heavyweight champion, announced last night that she and Berlenbach had been reconciled.
