NEW TORK. Feb. I7.-No trouble over
the failure of the American league to
ratify the new national agreement at Its
meeting In Chicago, because of members'
objection to certain sections. Is antici
pated by the National league dub presi
dents. Judging from the talk of several
who were Mil In the city today after at
tending the league meeting which closed
yesterday. President August Herrmann
of Cincinnati waa one of these.
"I received several telegrams today
from Ban Johnson that tha American
league merely objects to a few minor
point In the agreement," said Mr. Her
mann. "The matter la nothing of Impor
tance and can readily be fixed up by the
two leagues.'
Pre 41 dent Lynch saw no reason to be
lieve that the American league objected
to the spirit of the new national agree
ment "To tell the truth," said Mr. Lyach.
"several members of our own league
were In favor of making aome changes In
the agreement, but as the commission
spent the greater part of the winter on
It they decided to let It stand. There
will be no trouble In having aome of these
objectionable clause chanted and this
can he readily accomplished by a mall
vote. Many of qur own club owners will
be glad to get a chance to propose some
minor chsnges In tha system of aaking
for waivers."

Stiff Schedule of
Cornhusker Cinder
Pathers Given Out
LINCOLN, rah. .-f4peclal.)-The Uni
versity ef Nebraska will undertake new
fields In track work under the schedule
arranged and made public, by Coach
Jumbo" Stlebra this week. Tha season
calls for the (tlffest schedule tb Corn
husker have yet undertaken In track
athleUoa.
Three dual meets, tha Missouri valley
conference meet and the Weatsrn Inter
oolleglata meet comprise tha Cornhuskars
schedule. The date fallow: Ames, April
It; Kansas, May 1; Minnesota, May 11:
Missouri Valley Conference, May 3;
Western Intercollegiate meet. June L
Heretofore the Cornhuokcrs have usually
held a preliminary meet with Morntngstde
or some secondary school, but the Ames
Aggies replace Mornlngald. The Aggies
bars always bean stiff rivals for the Corn-
buskers, and tha meet coming early In
the aeason will force tha Nebraskans to
start training much earlier than usual.
Sttehm ha little use for Inside training
and la sow patiently waiting for the
weather to moderate sutldently to allow
eut-of-door work.
The Kansas and Minnesota, meets have
always been en the Cornhusker schedule
and Nebraska haa been uniformly auc-
itul against both schools. Tha K an
sae meet comae a little earlier thl aea-
bob than heretofore, while the Minnesota
meet wsa put later.
The big meet of the year for the Corn-
husksrs Is tba Missouri Valley conference
gathering. - The Cornhuskera. although
able to defeat Kansas last ssbsob In a
dual meet, were not able to make even a
satisfactory showing in the Missouri
Valley mast.
Whether the Cornhuskere will enter the
Wester Intercollegiate meet will depend
entirely upon the previous showing of the

Big League Scouts
' Travel Many Miles
Eunning Down Finds
NEW TORK, Feb. 17.-8coutlng for a
big league base ball club la far from be
ing a sinecure. Aside from the respon
sibility of spending other people's money
la the endeavor to secure young but high
class diamond talent, there Is ths personal
Inconvenience of hopping from one part
of the continent to another on very short
notice. Rumors of possible "finds" are
constantly reaching headquarters from
every section of the "bush" country. To
run down all these report Is a physical
Impossibility, but there are frequent
"leads" that look good and must be Investigated.
This Is the duty of the base bail scout.
and It keeps him on the Jump eight months
In the year. Journey of 1.000 miles, many
time useless trips, are common and the
scout, provided he la married, sees as
little of hi family during the busy ttea-
t as the commercial traveler with a
long swing around the country to cover.
Take the case of Bobby Lowe, the De
troit Tlger'e base ball talent searcher.

miles. Ills Itinerary for 111, a part of

tion and the longer he fought the better
he became, while Westergaard ' deterio
rated. Tha Turk wa always moving and
It was hard for Jess to get a hold on him.
The Iowan on several different occasions
seemed to have hi opponent In a tight
position, but had not the strength or en
durance to follow It up for a fall.
Westergaard Wears Oat.
In the first round the lewan waa th
aggressor, but won himself out so thst
after about half ' an hour' strenuous
work be waa easy prey to the foreigner's
attacka In tb aecond fall Mahmout
went after hia man with the Intention
of settling it without much, elapse of
time and it aeemed that he would do so
In a very few seconda but Westergaard
took a new lease of life and kept hlm
seir Out of danger until after a fall to
the mat the Turk fell on htm with his
whole weight and secured a heart scissors
which his opponent could not break.
Prior to the match Fred Beell In a
telegram challenged the winner to a fin
ish match and Mahmout says he will
accept.
In the preliminaries Jo Solomon of
Omaha took two straight falls from B,
E. Pope of Sutton. Neb. He took the

AMATEURISM CAJTT EE DEFINED

linner Vacation.
NEW YOiyC, Feb. 17.-AI this time
when the college athletic world la striv
ing either to legttlmatixe or to prohibit
absolutely summer baa ball the note
that wa sounded at Brown university
recently is of particular interest. It baa
to do with the problem of th brand of
semi-professionalism that has grown up
of recent years In every college in the
country. Brown haa already settled to
It own satisfaction the question of sum
mer base ball, and Brown students are
permitted to play ball during the summer
months for compensation, provided they
do not He about it when they return to
Brown and try for the varsity team. The
problem to which tt ta turning It atten
tion now Is that of the college man, be
be track athlete, base ball player or what
not, who spends his summer at a boys'
camp, coaches a boys' club team In gym
nastic of coaches a high Bchool team In
any form of athhvtica.
Th whole question hinge n what Is
to be th proper definition of amateur
lam. It la a question that haa to be
solved soon, and the sooner a sane agree
ment on what an amateur really Is Is
reached the better It will be for all con
cerned. It Is Indeed a serious problem
with a great majority of college athlete
who must have financial assistance, and
at the same time are unwilling to forego
the privilege of representing their col
lege in competition. The National Col
legiate Athletic association, through It
subsidiary organisation, the Athletic Re
search aoclety, has been endeavoring tor
tbe last two years to obtain a satisfac
tory definition of the word amateur, but
at each annual meeting- It I reported
that although progress haa been made
there Is a yet nothing definite to re
port. And still tbe college men must
either perjure themselves or drop out of
athletics altogether or compete as pro
fessionals, which they really are not,
ethically or otherwise.
Drawing the Mae.
It seem that soma decision could bo
arrived at which would distinguish be
tween professionalism In the commonly
accepted use of that word and amateur
Ism which would permit the man In the
college or elsewhere to teach boys' clubs
and the like In the more rudimentary
forms of athletics and gymnastics and
still retain their amateur standing. Per
haps some rule could be framed that
would permit a man to catch athletics
In a boys' club or school provided he
does not coach a team that is to com
pete In any sdvertlsed contest. Thii
might solve the problem for the time
being. ,
Meanwhile the following extracts from
the Brown Herald are of Interest:
"livery year about this time It be
comes necessary for ths member of the
track squad who are to compete In va
rious athletic meets to register under
the rules of tha Amateur Athletic union.
The registration blanks require the an
swering of a number of question which
some of tbe member of tb squad can
probably answer truthfully to tha satis
faction of tha rather exacting laws of
the union. One of the provisions of tbe
Amateur Atbletle union, however. Is that
pe man shall be eligible to compete under
their rules who shall nave received pay
ment for teaching, training or coaching
In any athletic sport The registration
blank requires a statement that the ap
plicant haa never violated thla law. Any
one familiar with the situation know
that th rule. If It could be enforced,
would keep a large number of athletes
out of meet. Usually, however, the run
ners are found ready to He rather than
be exduded from meets held under the
Amateur Athletic union.
"Thla la, on the face of It absurd, both
from tbe fact that It cannot be enforced
end from the fact that It, I unnecessary
in insuring true amateur -tending. But
whatever be the unreasonable attitude of
the Amateur Athletic union there la ab
solutly no excuse for the perjury which
takes place every year among our ath
letes, and which our athlete managements
too often encourage. No pretext of a
failure to understand the rules or plea
of their unreasonableness can condone
that"
