THE OMATTA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 31. 1010. i The Omaha Sunday Her jfM' MA HA, NEB., Bt'NDAY. JVLT 31. 1910. i Judgments Embryo School Masters Who Are Also Athletes w 'ITMOUT taking slJes olther way. we wish to refer briefly to the controversy arising from the re- oent nnnlraintn at Vnm an read a letter written The Bee by Um pire Nelson of the Nebraska Stat Uavue. Mr. Nelson make the statement that Kear ney fans attacked him because Home of thfiti had bet and lout on the garni and that there waa a faction of men In that city habitually betting on the gam, which corstituted a source of' trouble for th unplres. Kearney fans atard by Manager Murphy of the local team, who waa fined by President Rlevers of the league. It la not the province hers to discuss the merits cf the controversy, but it la our right and desire to warn the Nebraska Plate lengue and every club owner and fan against betting at a danger to be avoided. Base ball and betting cannot go together; one or the other jnuct give way. Bane ball la a sport, clean and Irreproachable, as conducted fr thaa mmy years and If It ever countenanced betting It would c as to be anything mora than K those forms of sport are which have given way to this pernicious Influence, If ""the Kearney fans or any other fans, who bet on the results of the games habitually to ths extent of letting It Interfere with the aame and the league, really hive the Interest Ot their team, their league and their gam at heart as they profe, they will stop their betting. Major league fought out this battle long years ago and when they did they gained ft victory large enough to shed It benefits upon the minors as we'l. It would be foolish, therefore, for the minors to Aatiy themselves these advan tages. I tv, the early stages of the national same, petty gamblers, who never weto 1 real sports or real frier 1 of base ball. sought to get hold of bass ball, but they failed and have never since made a second - . . . t la A Ka hrtnn thai I lendld start tie Nebraska State league I wis made will not be- marred by such a nire. , Walter Johnson, the premier pitcher of the Washington team, Is rated by as good a Judge as Hugh Jennings as the best pitcher in the American league and on of theittiree best In the business. There can b ftfttle doubt of the accuracy of the estimate. Johnson pitches winning ball tmtlnually, though he docs not come out fhth as many "wins" to his credit as other pitchers, like Mordoual Brown, Mathowson " and star with winning testae behind them. That Is the fat of a ball player, though and Johnson take his like a philosopher. He Is not only great pitcher, but a most valuable man to the team because of his sunny disposition and his aver readiness to work. No matter whether he has worked th day before. Manager McAleer f s he will go In again if asked and do so cheer fully. This 1 what tends to lighten the burden of the manager, and what too few manager meat up with. It seems a pity that soma team Ilk th Cubs, or New Tork or Detroit could not land Johnson. Then h would show up much better and would be th talk Of the diamond. But .after all perhaps It Is best he ts where he Is. It la the life and virtu of baa ball that the weakest team can sometime beat th strongest and this Is facilitated by th fact that' good player are scattered throughout ail teams. Hot la an Item from Indianapolis to the Sporting News which w desir to print without comment: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 23. (Special CorTesDondeno.) Th anvil chorus Is busy at Washington Park. Host of the fans are armed with great big hammer and all of th Players com in for their share of abuse. Manager Carr cornea In for most of th k nor h. and h ha been forced to reply to sevsrJl of the fans whose remark have been vary Insulting. If th men who vent their spit and cheap wit on Carr were In as crippled a condition as he, they would be In bed with a trained nurse waiting on them. Carr ha on foot In very bad con dltion and the dootor has advised him to vrt out of th game, bitt he refuse to Xssert th team when It la so badly In need fof his service. Tha knocker are also hard on the trail of big Simmy Murch and th continued abuse Is affecting the big fellow's playing. It Is true that th team has been playing Boor ball, but knocking by th fan will not heln tha players any. though a little : (encouragement might go a long way toward getting them to play better. Manager Carr haa alwaya been noted as a areat finisher and It may b that he will get the team going soon and finish In th first division. At least, w nope mo. a Wilder Jones, th old White Sox man ' mgttf, I angling to get back in base ball and he may reappear as a magnate or manager. Cleveland ha out the report that he I to be engaged 'a manager of that team. Certainly Cleveland could us him to good advantage. But befor th story get strong It had better Include the report that Jones I to b allowed to buy a share In th club, for he haa ld that his pur pose In getting back la to own a team or In part, and h would have been back long ago with th Box xopt that Comlskey did not oar to sell any of hi Interest. Cleve land la now th property of on man, th deal being mad last week, and It la prob able Jones can buy In. With the material Cleveland haa It ought not be hard tor whip It Into a winning club and If any man can do It that man la Fielder Jones. Any man who could win with those nondescript Box can do most anything. It seems certain now that without some remarkable upsetting of conditions Detroit cannot com back for another pennant. But It la nothing to th disparagement of Hugh Jennings. H started right In to the business of winning pennait when he took hold of tha team and that he Is to fall on year la nothing to hi discredit. For that matter b Is still fighting. Schlpk I back in th game, broken finger and alt That 1. he haa tried to help out by playing in left field. It Is hoped ..King will be In th gam befor the week Is over and that by th time th team re turn from Its western trip August U It will be In much better form. They all get their. ?h same day that f Wichita banged out ten run In on inning off Omaha, th peerless Mordecal Brown waa walloped by St. Louis for eight runs In one Inning and Christy Mathwson waa driven from th box th next day. 1 V i ' : 0 V o..

Clements, pitcher of the team, Hayes deoided to continue athletics through the summer term at th Peru Normal school the standard sine maintained by Coach Moore's pupils did not seem easily attain able. Their rank I second only to that set by the veteran varsity of 1910. Peru has to date been playing against salaried teams and has only lost one game of the Captain Gary, Third Baseman Parriott and Outfielder Colburn have records too well known to Nebraska college base ball to need any reproduction: They, are playing In their old time form and as members around which to build a team furnish Moore with unexcelled help and hearty sup port. Of new material, contrary to expec tations, there has been an abundance and of good quality. The hew men have worked hard and have demonstrated their ability to fall In where the veterans left and learn the playing system. Albln has held down the Initial sack with great grace and Beck on second is making good. In the outfield the Schott brothers and Sims and Zlnk have played around Colburn In a way that made him feel at home. Zlnk has also acquitted himself with great credit behind the bat. The hitting of the new men has been especially strong, their clouts having won all the games thus far. Peru's pros pects for next year's team are especially bright, as many of these men will be here and the teaching system of Brumage and Moore reaches townrd next year's pennant with no uncertain hand. All the boys feel that they must hold the pennant. 1 WES1ERN LEAGUE AVERAGES ina -till Leads, bat Cannot Get Into the .300 Clasi. ttOxtlAHTY HEADS THE FIELDERS Pa's pitcher Are Not Forarlnax to fih Front Very Rapidly, and la Team Work Omaha Take Sixth Place.

Herbert V. Jones, the chairman of the committee of the Kansas City club, which Is In charge of the tournament, writes that they are very anxious to get the same class of players to attend the Mis souri Valley meet as come to Omaha, and while the players are all in Omaha they will make a special effort to get as many as possible of them to come down there the following week. MANY DIFFERENCES OF OPINION Not 1)1 aro a rag-eel by Failure to 4rt (ieaeral Rale, Committee Take Baageatloaa from Corner. . oa Aatherltl. NEW VOIIK, July n.-For a couple of years or so to universal definition of an amateur hus been troubling the Interna tional Olympic committee, and It ha de voted a lot of time to the framing ot an amateur definition that would suit all coun tries uod all claasoa of ania.cr. About a year ago an English spoiling paper in vited tha opinion of men interested In amateur sport and It published th opinions of a long siting of authorities. All this matter was turned over to th International Olympio committee, and It formed a sub committee to take charge of tha question and report within a year. This report was read ut the recent meet ing of the International committed at Lux emburg by Theodore A. Cook, representing Great Britain. The failure to resell a com mon standard In no way discouraged the members ot the committee, who are de termined that it must come, and some day there will be a definition of an amateur that will conform to all classes. As a sort of beginning with that end In view the international Olympic committee In ac cepting Cook's report selected two sporw for disciiHsloi.. It was decided that Franco should have the task of defining an Iran teur fencer, and England should draw tip the. definition of the track ani field ama teur. Kngland ad France itiiiuit. 1 Following Is the teport: 1. Many ot our best racing men. mem bers oi the Juvay ciub, anu oinera, and many of our boat yachting men, members ot tne Koyal achl Syuauron and others, habitually receive money prises and pay proiesHiunals to help tnein win their race. But if they lollowed a similar course of action In tne case of athletic", lawn tennis, swimming, etc., they would be debarred for competing for tne amateur champion ship in these sports. 2. In athletics a man who has competed against a professional lose Ipso faoio his amateur status, whereas In golf, In racing, In court tennis Oeu de paune). In cricket and some other sports suoh competitions are frequent and entail no penalty.- 3. In some sports, such as rowing, It ha only been found possible to hold out against the increase or proieasionansm vy nwimi the amateur definition extremely rigid. The Amateur Rowing association probably recognizes that this rigidity necessarily limits the scape ot tneir competitions, oui thev might with Justice argue that the laxity introduced Into certain other sports has produced evils which make them both unrepresentative of local effort and useless to the national life. No argument is at present likely to change this point of view and no amateur definition of a simple and inclusive kind can now enjoy the approval ot the amateur rowing association. Universal Opinion Later. Th result of my inquiries I a logical as It Is definite. From a general point of view they prove that a universal defi nition of the amateur for ail sports is at present impossible. In their special ap plication, however, to our own task and to the Olympio games, they are not of so neg ative a character, for they go to show that when an athlete Is entered for a particular event, by his national association govern ing the sport In which that event forms a nnrt hla amateur status can b fairly guaranteed by that association and will be accepted by competltora of his .own ns tionalUy. It must be our task so to unify the Ideals of the great associations . con trolling sports In all countries that the entry guaranteed by one auch association shall be accepted oy ait associations gov nrninir th ume snort In all countries. So far this task only reached Its first stage when associations In other countries accepted it for the purpose of the Olympic game of 1908, the amateur definition of th association controlling each particular sport In tho United Kingdom. In several cases tha Swedes will be using In 1912 deflnl Hons which are either exactly similar to those of 1908 or Improved by wider experi ence in certain forma of sport In 1912 at Stockholm, as In 1908 In London, th great associations of all competing countries will accept for the purpose of the Olvmplo games of 1012 the amateur definition put forward by the country In which the. game are held. The same process will be re peated In 1916. And obviously, since all are animated by the same general principle, w Khali all gradually arrive at a series of de tail tending to become more and more similar and less and less numerous. But at the present moment haste In any detail r excessive rirldltv in any attempt at uni fication can onlv result In offending tho scsociations which we may perhaps guide and snpnort. but to which we can never Issue definite orders. Committee Mtarht Help. The international Olympic committee may well lend some practical and useful aid to this slow but sure development, so that th result of the. efforts Inspired by Count Bertler de Sauvigny'a report shall not be sterile. What then can we do? I venture to make two suggestion: 1. In the country we can try to persuade two, three or even four associations to ac cept th same deflation of an amateur for th sports they control. W can ask B, C, D, E, for example, to state their Ob jections to A' definition after this defini tion has been reduced to It most elemental form. These objections we may gradually endeavor to overcome by argument and ex perience, until one country at least can ssy thst for the majority of its sport th definition la the same. We may also endeavor to secure th definition of an amateur, such, for Instance, as one of those definitions accepted both In London In 1908 and In Stockholm in 191?. In one sport which may commend Itself not only to two, but to three, four and even five nations when It has been authori tatively brought to their notice by a mem' ber of this committee. In swimming a solution of this kind haa already been tried, but It seems to have been reached only by the Insertion of reservation In favor of Germans end Swedo. which will hav tha effect of barring an Italian, a Frenchman or an Englishman from entering a com petition open to Swedes and German of precisely the pa me status ami qualifica tion. Thi latter Instance Is mentioned only to show the difficulty of our task, not to dis courage the ardor of our efforts. It Is, however, even more valuable to Indicate the rlht line Mi which labor may profit Mv he undertaken than to Intimate ac tivities which will In the end prove fruit less, and It Is In this spirit thst my report Is offered, with great renpect. to the Inter national Olympic, committee. The member hn i.ext year centring to our meeting onlv one of the two tnaka I have suggested, completely and satlsf sctorlly achieved, will have ilenerved well tmt only of his col leagues but of the wholo world of amateur sport.
