1 - lA" 8 GRAFT AS THE BEAM i**/* .. . . Prof. Conway MacMillan. Intimates -..That "Professionalism" Is Rel atively a Here Mote. i \V ^ ft. He Places the Honest AthleteiAhove the So-Called "Pure Amateur." J I % ' Professor Conway MacMillan of the tate university is impelled* by the charges of graft in twin city inteitscholastlc ath letics to take up the cudgels against the amateur code of American colleges. Pro - fesssor MacMillan has lomg maintained that the rules defining amateurs were wrong both In principle anti. in practice, and in this position he is supported by The Journal. Discussing the charges of graft in the high schools, Professor MacMillan said to-day: "In connection with the annual report of Dr. E. V. Robinson of St. Paul, who has called attention to a great evil in scholas tic athletics, I am impelled to say a few words. The evil is not always limited to the high schools. It has been well known that in some instances even college and university athletics have not been free from dishonesty and graft." "All right-minded men will condemn this sort of thing. "Yet it must be remembered that im perfect human nature is prone to err and honesty, among the young, is not neces sarily more universal than among the middle-aged or old. If there is crooked financial management In municipalities, business and professions, so may there also be dishonesty and manipulation in the affairs of athletics in the schools. "In my opinion the bad ethics of ama teurism is partly responsible for the ser ious conditions which exist in American sport. In this view perhaps I shall have few to support and many to criticize me, but there are possibly not a large number of men in Minnesota who, by reason of long experience and careful study of the conditions, are better qualified to speak and perhaps it is a duty to emphasize what I believe to be right. "It is wrong to steal, to lie, to defraud, to deceive. It is not wrong to take pay for one's services. The boy who robs the box office in an athletic association is laying the fcmudation for a life of vicious ness and crime. The boy who pitches good ball for a country nine at $5 or $10 a game is perhaps earning money for the support of himself or his family. "There is a tremendous difference be tween the two. Most sensible men will agree with me. "But what are the facts? The boys in the high schools are led to believe that se verest condemnation awaits only the 'pro fessional.' 'Is it true,' one is asked, 'have you ever used your athletic skill for gain? If you have, you can not play with us. W e are gentlemen amateurs. There is no reform possible for you. You are with out the pale. It is j?aid that once you ran a race. There was a $5 prize. You won It. Never again can you compete in games in the schools or colleges. You are a pro fessional. Go find your level with the pugilists and the jockeys. We cannot tol erate your presence now. We can never tolerate it in the future.' "What sort of confusion does this neces sarily produce in the mind of the young athlete? "I can find nothing in the laws or in the scriptures that justifies this un-American attitude. Upon a former occasion I pointed out that it was an outgrowth of the Eng lish class system. It has no place in a de mocracy. An English university may be a place for English gentlemen of leisure. They may protect their class by whatever restrictions they will. That is their af fair. But an American school or univer-, sity has no right to deny any man his op portunity. If he has been a professional athlete but enters a school as a "bona fide" student. I hold that he has the same right to its social life and educational priv ileges that any other man has. I firmly believe that this is the true American po sition and I shall maintain it in the face of all the criticism of the 'genuine ama teurs.' "Athletics rightly administered are at the very foundation of right education* Athletics wrongly administered are as wrong as any other wrong thing. "The days of expensive hired coaches, big gate receipts,, excessive expenditure for training, must, in the nature of things, be transitory. A saner spirit must make itself felt and I believe it will. Meanwhile, why should not the men who are particu larly interested In the management of in terscholastic athletics forget their mad anxiety to toady to the opinion of the English "gentleman amateur" and focus their attention upon the development of simple, American, manly sport, upon a simple, American basis of common hon esty and progressive excellence? "One way towards reform is to wipe out the amateur code. Is not the honest man of more importance to America than the 'pure amateur?' Yet the boy who lies and steals and deceives and defrauds may hold his place upon the team. He may be for given all that. The boy who has 'used his athlltic skill for gain' can never be for given. What sort of a wretched and snob bish ideal is that to hold before the young? "Let us get down to first principles." $s H . ^ SMASHES AUTO RECORD Barney Oldfield Makes Mile in 56 2-5 Seconds.

The start was close, Allimac II. being the only boat slow in responding to the 3 o'clock gun. Th e first leg was a hard beat to windward. The boats split immediately after crossing the line. Argo chose the south shore and the rest held to the north, hoping to get the shore breeze, but the wind shifted several, points, which fa vored Argo, and at the turn she led Alll mao II. and Calumet by three minutes before the wind spinnakers were used, and Argo, sailing free, easily took first honors.

Victor Fails to Show Championship FormContest Was Quite One-Sided. Fort Erie, July 6.With his hands ex tended and his body poised for further bat tle, Jack Root was counted out Saturday afternoon in a battle which gave undis puted possession to George Gardner of Lowell of the title of champion light heavyweight of America. Four thousand excited men saw the game Chicago boy go down Ave times from the vicious and seemingly awkward swings of the fighting demon from Massachusetts, but there was no objection raised when, after having been knocked down three times in the twelfth round, he was tech nically counted out when on his feet. It would have been inhuman to have sent him further. H e was weakened and his vim was gone. Gardner was ready and eager to administer the coup de grace. If one was to base an opinion strictly on the composite opinion of the hundreds of experts. gathered in the sunbaked are na, the fight was Gardner's from the start. He had the better of eight of the twelve rounds, Root showing to advantage but twice. H e reached Gardner time and again, but without .force, seemingly fear ing to cut loose and extending himself. It is too late to say what might have hap pened even to predict what may happen, but Root fought one of the worst fights of his career. He was slow. He was clumsy and missed again and again, hooking for Gardner's jaw, only to swing wildly around his head. He stabbed his left to Gardner's face a score of times, but without enough to send his head back. There was no snap, no jolt, no ginger. It is only fair to say that Gardner failed to show cham pionship form. He won a championship in a bad fight, and to retain it he must do better than he did Saturday. CRICKET The Minneapolis Cricket club met the Minnesota team of St. Paul at the locals' grounds, Thirty-ninth street and Bryant avenue S, on Saturday and gained a most decisive victory, beating the St. Paulites by 105 runs, thru the agency of the Broth ers.

Runs came slow ly, Swarbreck being dismissed with the score at 18 for a well-played 15. Rich ards made 11 and the team was all out for 57. % Minnesota started batting after lunch and were completely at the mercy of W. H. Godwin and P. Godwin. Minnesota could gain only 10 runs against these crack bowlers. Minneapolis, In the sec ond innings, made 67. Minnesota's sec ond innings was but a walking match to and from the wicket.
