From this time on baseball will| take al! of his attention and he'll drop out of other branches of athletic com-| ‘petition. No doubt Jim Thorpe would have be- come a professional baseball player in any case, within @ year or e@0. ANY people have written me ar- M guing that, since the A. A. U. doesn't control baseball, 1t has no right to disqualify amateur athletes who play professional ball. It ts urged that the A, A, U. should allow amateur tradk and field athletes to play baseball fob money. This would be @ very handy thing for college athletes who find that they can pic& up « living during the summer and help out with winter college expenses much more easily by playing baseball | than by hoeing potatoes or selling ency- clopedias to the intelligent and unwilling | farmers, | But after all baseball is a branch of | Athletic sport, and a professional ball | Player is a professional athlete, It ts) ntirely different thing with bowling, | and billiards, chess and other ‘pool games or amusements that are not ath- letic sports. These things the A. A. U, doesn't control, and never will. So bet- ting on a bowling game or playing pool or chess for a wager or @ prize doesn't make one a professional athlete. Track athletics, baseball, football, and strongly competitive eporte of thet sort) ere either amateur or professional in character, aad they are more er less related. y that 1 don't see why prefes- A siona! athletic sports should be jgnored in the Olympic Games. The theory and purpose of the Olym- pics, it seems to me, are greater than the amateur idea, The Olympic Games uid bring together the world’s best letee—the best athletes of all coun- ules regardiess of whether or not these tnen have competed for money or gilded tim medals. I've known « great num- ber of profesional athletes who were Just as ood “porta” as any amateur. ‘And they were great athletes, too, « credit to any country. The amateur organiaations, of course, would Aight this proposition tooth and nail. Why? Oh, just for financial rea- sons. From the start the A. A.

Why don't you give us all the facts?’ Unfortunately, Carl, there was ono game im which the rune were even less than @ dozen. The facta ought to be well known, In a game between the Nettle Rashes and the Poison Oaks they tried to fool Swat by substituting an eg@ for the ball eo as to make him sinash it and look ridiculous.

The chemicals had taken effect und the exe was as hard and resilient as a rubber ball. Swat took a healthy swing at it and with a loud report sent tho rubber-like sphere whistling toward the timber. He had been oarciess in his aim, however, and the vulcanized egy struck tho swaying Magataff over the centre fleld fence, keep scoring until the ball was recovered, when the ball bounded back with ter- rifle force and struck the Peerless Hitter in the middle of the back ‘The umpire called him out for being hit by @ batted pat!
