The Clarkson Case
What does the sanctimonious cry foeamateurism in college athletics amounttoThat question has been askod over and-over again by men who are most
interested In keeping college sportsfree from a professional taint but theyhave never been able to HIM a satisfac-tory answer
Georgetown men are particularly in-
terested In the problem for their schoolhas been charged with more heinouscrimes against the amateur code thanmost any other school of prominencein the country and now that the boysare back st the old stand ready for ahard years study and the football sea-son they are beginning to take stock ofthe other schools which have contributed to the professional ranks in thepeat seasonRival Investigated
When Georgetown begun to clean upeverything in sight in the spring withIts star wirier Cromley an Investiga-tion started by rivals and It wasfound that Cromley had played severalgames for the Indianapolis AmericanAssociation team for the experience butso tar as known had not received anymoney He was promptly suspendedfrom the team Thls was used sostrongly that he became an out and outpro Joined the Indianapolis clubpermanently He has done ftplenditwork there and has been drafted byDetroit for next season

in review to make the indictmentstronger But what about the otherschools
Tis query Is a subject of conversationamong Georgetown students now inview of the announcement that Caldwell of Pennsylvania who shut out theGeorgetown nine last summer hassigned with the Philadelphia NationalLeague team Not only has Caldwellsigned with the Phillies but there isreason to believe thai he has playedsemiprofessional or straight profes-sional ball with Atlantic City for twoor more seasons yet has been posing as-a college pitcher and pure amateurIn re Caldwell
Caldwell played with Atlantic Citythis summer under the name of Grantand if he had not signed with Philadel-phia it is not at all improbable that hewould have posed as an amateur againnext year although the grounds for hisdisqualification were known to scorsof college men This WitS a neat piece ofwork for those who have been throwingstones at the Washington university
Then what about Clarkson of fairHarvard He continued to for hUalma muter after ho had signed withthe New York American League teamThere way a howl when he was uncov-ered but the college public stood asidein reverent grief over the incident forit was the pure and righteous Crimsonthat was stained but had it been theBlue and Gray how different wouldhave been the comments The Clarkson deal was about as raw as theymake them It was reported in all the
with Now York before he admittedit but he allowed to keep on pitch-ing
The case of Mike Lynch of Browntnlverslty 1 worthy of note He-MKned with PlUsbunr and has been doing great work His university deservescredit for not allowing him to pitchthis season but all last season there

thought the sale returns will warrantits being published again next seasonThe idea 01 having the records givento the public book form was suggested by the plan followed by theamateur leagues of Chicago
In no city in the United States probably has amateur baseball Increasedmore in favor in the past year thanin Washington In 1908 there was butone organized league of any consequence In the city the Church Leaguewhereas this season six were supportedIn addition to more Independentteams than heretofore This increasemay be attributed to baseball
players who werenever heard of developedInto some of the beet In theSplendid Patronage-
The games played by the boys thisyear while not MS fast and brilliantas those in the American League fur-nished equally as good contests andwere patronized as well If not betterthan the big league games Many ofthe boys and managers yet have muchto learn but they have doubtless
by the seasons experience In themanagerial end of many of the clubsmuch fault can be found There hasbeen too much switching around ofplayers too frequent experimenting
An example of good management canbe found in the Fourth Presbyterianteam which won the Church Leaguebunting At no time this season hasthe club carried over ten men and theboys played in their positions so longthey excellent team worksomething which cannot be gained bytoo many changes
The book is expected to be ready forsale in a few months
were rumors that he was not an amateur in the proper sense of the termIt should likewise be remembered thatthe entire Brown University team of testyear got together this spring organizedas an independent team and arrangeddates with professional teams for money
Now that the football season is onthere are many spicy stories in the paner about the way In which the collegesare stealing gridiron material from oneanother Princeton Cornell and othereminently respectable institutions havegrubbed youngsters who had agreed togo to other schools When theknock against the Georgetown team ishanded out it be well to lookthe little adage about glass houses andthose throw bloies for It Is not customary for young men to leave oneschool for another after they have madeall their arrangements for the sessionwithout an extraordinary inducement
