A S AMATEUR, says Mr., /» W, biter, is “one who praetices an art not as a livlihood or a profession, but for the love of it.” Weil it is a broad definition and the line of demarcation is exceedingly thin. At least we find the latter occasionally true where modern day athletes are concerned. "Expenses” cover a multitude of bills! The recent turmoil regarding the status of Paavo Nurmi, Finland's great distance runner, revived the time-worn arguments about amateurism. The rules regarding expenses for star amateur athletes of track, field and courts have certainly brought some exceedingly wordy mixups. And the problem, instead of clearing, becomes more muddled day by day. Sticklers for true amateurism point with pride to Bobby Jones as an example of the perfect amateur. Thev tell and retell the story of hew Bobby turned down the gift of a $50,000 home which his Atlanta friends proffered as a token of their admiration. Bobby was in fact a true amateur, but there is . ,1 of a majority of Alabama's 24 votes at the Democra'ie national convention in Chicago as result of the state primaries Tuesday.- ] The Roosevelt slate was oppos- ] d by a slate which would go to i Chicago "uninstructcd” but not necessarily opposed to the New Vork governor. The primary was | for selection of eight delegates at | la-g". with one half vote ea h. I ’li.l two delegates from each of I ihe slate s 10 congressional dis- I * nctf. BOMB KILLS JAP MARINE ' CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE/ American soldiers dangerously close to an open clash. The Japanese commander released two Chinese prisoners, who were being dragged to the Chapel quarter, after an argument. - The incident was the third in four days to disturb the peace hire and threaten completion of t truce between Japanese and Chnese. Tne five highes' Japanese efii ials were wounded Saturday when a Korean threw a bomb an the pjatferm where they were reviewing a parade ’honoring the emperor's birthday. One Japanese civilian died. 0., Monday, a group of youths, invaded a reception at the home of Chinese Vice foreign Minister Quo Tal-Cbi and beat him severely. The Japanese accused Chinese oolies in the American defense •eetor of stoning marines on dnty ••tcr.pat .Sonehow creek. Lieut. ' mmander Katsumo. commanding b ’ Japanese, said that if marines -c e stored again his forces would return and exact vengeance "no matter who interferes.” DANCE TONIGHT SUNSET. I

,no telling just what an asset his; 1 status a- the world's greatest ama- j teur golfer was to him. It did win , far him a small fortune in mpvie contracts, but Bobby nad the courage to give up his amateur standing when he accepted the chance to make money out of his ability to play golf. George Von Elm, once Jones’ closest amateur rival, designated himself as a businessman golfer ! when he agreed to accept the money prizes offered to winners of open tournaments. And more re-; eently Jerry Travers, star of j twenty years ago, gave up his amateur toga to seek cash as a I professional golfer. These men had the courage of their convictions, but there is no denying the fact that there are many star amateur athletes "cashing in” on their ability. Nurmi is not the only prominent amateur who has been embroiled in "amateurism” controversies. There have been many. And there comes to mind the more recent squabbles centering about Charley Padd-ck, American sprint star, and Jules Ladoumegue, French middle distance champion. Paddock was refused a registration card by the Amateur Athletic Union thisc.

lyear, while Ladoumegue was sus- | pended under charges of professionalism. Latest rtparts have the French champion reinstated, and if that is true then there is promise of a pulsing duel between he and Gene Venzke. Recently Phil Parkins, doughty British linksman who 11 has been playing in this country for several years and incidentally plans to be come an American citizen, came in for a severe lashing in one of the j British publications. Perkins fori merly a clerk in England, was in ! dieted in the article for falling into the deplorable American ways of dress on the links. Mention was also made of the so-called American system of rich men financing amateurs. Well it certainly is a mess. Ama teur golfers can play with proses sionals and keep their amateur standing. If an amateur baseball player or a college football player even engages in a game with professionals he is tarnished with the “pro” brush An amateur fighter must refrain from engaging a professional. Truly the rules of amateurism are strangely and wonderfully made. Copfrighl 1932 6v Kim tVatuye* fenoLvte. Id*. mans. 15. Negro, was arrested in a meat market oil a bu glary charge.

‘WHITE COLLAR’ JOBLESS FOUND i KARO TO KELP I’nemployment And Relief Organization Finds Them Problem Washington (U.R) No group oi unemployed arc more difficult ito help than tin* ‘’white collar" workers, the President's Organize ’ tlon on Unemployed and Relief de,clares in a bu'letin. [ In the first place, the bulletin' states, the unemployed clerk, or (Office man, is the last to udmit ids plight and apply for aid. In the second, it is most difficult to find or make relief jobs for these men. In an effort to help solve this problem, the President's organization has had the woman’s bureau ‘of the Department of laibor make i a survey of the best methods of j approaching the "white t oller" problem. Aitir investigating methods in 31 different cities, the bureau lias submitted a number of suggestions. First the bureau suggests a sur- ' vey and a special registration of the office class unemployed. This has been found the liest method 'of breaking down their natural re sist ince to charity. The bttroau lists the following types of special work which have been provided for the "white collar" job.ess: Traffic counts, study of traffic accidents, tree suggi-ory. chauffeur service, bringing city records up to date and attendink to special work In public offices. ! The unemployed office men also have been found useful as extra welfare workers and relief inves tigators. the bureau rejiorts. o Duck', Flying Formation Ducks ib- not ofii-n ftv in V f-*rmH Mon.
