Old-Hat in the Eing
Farmer Burns, tho grand old man of
the wrestling game, Is celebrating in
Chicago today IiIh fifty-third birthday in
tho company of his mother nnd five sis
ters, who live In tho Illinois metropolis.
Tho farmer Is not ns young and sprightly
as he wan somo your ago and n few
soft lines of age crcaso the .firm but
tender face, but ho still asserts that a
man Is only aa old oa he feels, and he
will wrcstlo any man of hla site and ago
In tho world.
The name of Farmer Burns Is probably
ono of the most familiar of all wrostlers
While Frank Clotch waa active champion
Farmer wan always by his sldo In tho
capacity of trainer and adviser, The
Farmer wan also a considerable" wrestler
himself and tha years are not so far gone
when ho throw such men as Beall and
Holler.
Now the Farmor Is not anxious to tusUo
on the padded mnt, but he Is not averse
to do so. A few nights ago at the Krug
he wrestled ono of his youngsters and
showed he won still strong and fast by
winning tho match In a few minutes. Ho
Is training both his boys, Itaymond and
Charlie, in expectancy of developing two
wrestlers who will keep the champion
ship In the United State for several
years when thoy get older and larger.
Bums Is at present manager and
trainer for Yousltf Huasano. When the
farmer picked the Turk up Hussano was
but an ordinary wrestler with lots of
promise. Now he Is on extraordinary
wrestler, because Farmer is tho kind of
a man who can take such an Indefinite
virtue as promlso and transposo It Into
facL
The grand old man maintains a gym
nasium here, where wrestlers and ath
letes of all kinds train. Hussano and the
Farmer's boys are constantly working in

Captains of Teama Can See No Itea
aon Why CoIIcko Men Should
Not He Allowed, to Enru
Honest Dollar.
NEW YORK, Feb. 14. It will coma as a
iudo shock to those who aro striving to
make college sport of all kinds typify
real, gcnulno and unpolluted amateurism,
to learn that the captains of Yale. Prince
ton, Johns Hopkins and the Navy aro In
favor of permitting summer baso balL
Surely tho Views expressed by theo
men do not represent tho sentiment ot
the great body ot college undergraduates.
If tlwy do, then It Is high tlmo that the
rising generation wcro given a stiff
courso In tho ethics of amateur sport.
How these college captains can possibly
think that a man can play base ball
In tho summor for money be a profes
sional In other words and then return
to his coltego and be received as a slmon
pure amateur Is past all comprehension.
Isn't nn amateur ono who practices a
sport "merely for tho lovo of it?"
Captains Vlossom, Rhoads, Porter and
Vaiden all advance tho old nrgument
that a poor man should bo permitted to
earn money In tho way that comes easi
est to him to enable him to pay his col
logo expenses. Well, then. If you allow
him to play base ball for business, why
not let him fatten his bank account In
the prize ring, by taking .part In six-day
blcyclo races, riding aa a Jockey, or, it
ho bo a gymnast, by working for Bar
num & Bailey's circus doing stunts on
the trapeze in pink tights?
Might Earn Honest Money,
Somo of our gridiron heroes might
earn a few honest dollars tackling tho
untamed mule, while tho swimmers might
Improve the shining hour at Coney Island
or Revere Beach by eating banamyj un
der water in a plate glass tank with a
sea lion.
A well-planned attempt to solve tho
summer base ball question was mado at
tho last annual meeting of. the National
Collegiate Athletic association, which fi
nally adopted a resolution prohibiting
colleges and universities from allowing
thoso who havo received money for play
ing any game from competing in inter
collegiato contests. Here Is what tho
four captains think of the matter:
J. P. Blossom, Yale "A great many
men playing baso ball really need the
money they can earn by playing during
the summer to help pay their educational
expenses. It seems unfair to prevent theso
very often talented players from putting
their abilities to use during the summer
baso ball season,
' Define Their Views.
"However, tho oollego player should
confine himself to hotel teams and the
like, and not bo permitted to tako part
in games with teams under the national
commleslpn. My objection to this is the
great publicity usually accompanying It."
Bernard K. Rhoades, Princeton "I can
not see why a man whose talent runs to
base ball should not help himself through
college by using that talent just as well
as a roan whose ablUtlea are more scho
lastic and who earns money by tutor,
lng."
C. C. Porter, Johns-Hopkins "It does
not seem reasonable or Just to' me to bar
men from summer base ball.' The fault
Is not with the players, but with the
system. It is not Just to restrict many
deserving players for a system that Is
all wrong.
"A man who goes to college to get an
education and needs help to pay his ex
penses won't bo hindered from playing,
and he Is the man who should be pro
tected. "College athletics, when run by the
college authorities tor their primary pur
poses, will never be commercialized. It
is only when over-ambltlous coaches and
graduates are given the reins that such
a result Is possioie. '
J. L. Vaiden, Annapolis "The playing
of summer baso ball makes a man a
more experienced and finished player, so
that during the next season he will bo
able to do more and better work tor his
college team."
