mmmmmmmtmm encouraged amateur ball, looking upon the amateurs as feeders to the professional game and figuring that there would be benefits all around if the amateurs helped create a base ball atmosphere. Little did the magnates know that in a short time the amateur game would actually threaten the health of their enterprise. That such a thing has happened cannot be denied in view of the situa tion in Cleveland and the wonderful country-wide boom in amateur sports of all kinds. There is nothing the clubowner can do to change conditions. It is simply up to them to wait and see if, by offering a high-class article of ball, with less commercialism involved, they can regain patronage lost dur ing the past two years of inferior ball, due to the baseball war. Until this is decided it behooves them to hold down a bit in their hopes for the future. The amateur propo sition is getting bigger all the time. Basketball Scores Whiting Owls 48, Hamlin Tri. 42.

CapL Collins issued the order last night following a con ference with Chief Healey. Too many girls have gone into court and told that they met their downfall after drinking at dancing clubs in the loop. Some of the clubs are at swell hotels. The Morrison hotel has twice been mentioned in court by girls brought in on morals charges. Some believe that Capt Collins' newest edict is a result of the tale Ruth Crist told Judge Uhlir"bf early morning fox trot parties at the Lin wood, which is on Morrison hotel property. The Linwood, it is said, has fallen heir to patronage of the Boosters' club, located in the Morri son hotel, which Judge Uhlir recent ly put out of business because of the stories of girls who went wrong. Capt Collins intimated that the Linwood would be closed. "Most of these dancing clubs are in rooms up stairs," said Judge Uh lir. "No one can get into them un less one has the password or is known to the proprietor." m mtammmmmmmm
