In reference to a way Vof protecting dogs from being poisoned, 7 a New York exchange says: Some years since we paid a visit to the late Isaac Van Winkle, near Bergen Point, whose exteusive grounds, graperies and forcing-bouses, together with a great variety of fruits and flowers, offered a standing temptation to rascally night' prowlers, so numerous in the suburbs of. all large cities.

Mr. Van Winkle assured us tbat in two years he had. never beeu annoyed by rogues or even ordinary trespassers, because his grounds were vigilantly protected by a brace of first-class mastiffs, thoroughly trained to refuse all kinds of food except that put in the trough' of their kennel by the head gardener. They were thus protected from the poisoners. The great French writer, Balzac, al--.

This notice is mentioned to protect hunters who may unthinkingly enter the lands: only to. meet with arrest. The members of the Cordelia Gun Club, have been enjoying- good sport the past week.

Baird's Report on Reinstatements.

Football in the- North. George D. Baird, chairman, the committee on reinstatements, has filed his re! port relative to the applications of athletes who desire join amateur ranks. Those who applied were Charles Oakland, Malcolm 7 E. Thornton of Portland, Paul B.

Bernhard of San Francisco, W. B. Bray and W. W. of San Fraucisco.

Of the abjye applicants was the THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1893. only man whom the committee thought fit to reinstate. In Tye's case the committee, stated that the application was outlawed by a rule prohibiting reinstatement after February 18, 1893. .7 In reference to amateur sports end the necessity of. keeping tbem untarnished by professionalism.

MT.Baird says: Now; In oilier that tbe public as well as the applicants may be thoroughly. Informed of the reasons why these requests have: been refused or granted, aud that all may kuow and understand the rules and' prohibitions on the sub. jects of athletics, the- following Is set forth: First, we give an abridged definition of an amateur, as the prescribed rule would be too long for our limited space. Au amateur is one who has never competed for a stake, for public or (rate money, under a false name, with a professional lor a prize, or with one where gale money was- charged, nor' bas ever taught or pursued athletic exercises as a means of livelihood. Now there may be other considerations embraced by the published rule of the A.

A. but we cannot find anything that will further enlighten the public on ihe subject. 'The spirit of the amateur law aims at three First, to discourage gam of any kind but to keep toe -amateur and professional' apart; third, to overcome the undue advantage that a "professional or teacbeilposeste's because the time for training and opportunities for development, which none but such. persons and gentlemen of leisure possess. 'As' regards ibe second consideration, it is a sad and' wellknown fact that a large percentage Of proles-, sloaals are given to "ways that are dark and tricks that are There are Indeed many honest men among them, but they are nearly all "professors" or.

Consequently rules have been framed' setting forth the requirements and fixing the stern -penalty of ostracism op the guilty party. Amateur athletes, have always said and still say keep the' amateur and professional apart. At a meeting of this Amateur Athletic Union of the United Mates field not long' ago' the following cast-iron rule was enacted: "No person shall be reinstated as an amateur who became a professional after February 1893, and' applications for reinstatement by persons who became professionals- befoie that date shall be leceived and acted upon only by tlie board of governors of the It does hot require a keen perception t-o see that, the Committee was constrained. to keep the following taul considerations lv mind: A desire, to maintain a high standard of athletics; to act on prescribed by amateur law; to. kt-epln mind that the hoard of governors imisi lender the final decision, and to' act accordingly.

The meetiug ot the committee was most notwithstanding the fact (hat each member spoke and acted like a man accustomed to original opinion and decision, Nearly every case was received with; aifierent Views, but the conclusion was reached' without even a vote being tafci-n. committee were as one man in tlie determination to uphold high standard of.

Case This young man. who In many ways desei yes the clemency of the authorities, comes unfortunately under the. ban- of the rule of Februaiy 18, 1893.. It was his first' and only ofleuse.

but tlie rule Is inexorable and deprives us of the right to graht or refuse our indorsement. 7 Case ln considering' this case the firstdocument was. of course Thornton's, affidavit. If what was stated in this is correct, it emit him to consideration. A letter' was also.received from tit.

Mliaer, president of Willamette liowing Club, attesting to the truth. of the in the affidavit. the chairman wrote to Mr. Waiter A. Scott of Portland, formerly president of the Facitic Coast Association 'and cantata of the Olympic Club, a in in of jicuto percept aud broad experience.

Mr. Scott replied: Is Thornton's first and oniv as far as. I can learn, and he has -been waiting fur two years to get-back into the am iteu-r and has been very circumspect He received no money or prize of any kind In the tug-of-war competition referred.to. From what I can learn 1 would recommeud his reinstatement." The question ot "competing- with a professional Where gale money. Is charged," eveu though there is no prize received, is not easily, grasped by- the average -person.

I Thornton's has received our ment on two grounds: First, because it is his I hist aiid only offense; committed' thoughtlessly, and second, the unqualified recommendation -of a gentleman of Mr. Scott's standing, given with a full knowledge of the amateur-rule, -flii Cases -3 and 4- are Identical; These men came under the clause "taught pursued athletic. exercises as a means of livelihood." Wheu the committee began Its session it was distinctly understood thai, unlike cases at --noprecedeuis were to- be The amateur, was in danger of decline if Ht-rjfl-geut methods, were- not -adopted; it: was agreed that every case should stand ot fall on Its-owe merits. -While these men were at to make, their the commri tee felt that there were really no crouuds tor granting th.elr requests. Case In this case there aTe no grounds whatever for clemency.

"For several years lie gravitated 'around the. smaller. leagues." In words a professional in the fullest sen the word, -and Whose case Is. covered bynearly every clause of the definition, asks to he reinstated. Mr.

Bray and his numerous friends, honest-no doubt In their motives, see many reasons why he should be The committee, however, do pot see one eft 'her in law or reinstate: such- a mau would set a bad example, fix a dangerous and overwhelm the committee; with applications tor reinstatement ail the coist i- Case Precisely- the same arguments made, against No. 6- can be. applied to No. 6. there 13 one point' la SIM latter case.

On the Bth inst' a' reunion of wheelmen will be held at Sau Jose, and a run to Haywards will follow. In reference to this Robert R. Russ, captain of the Olympic Club Wheelmen writes: "It was suggested at San Jose on Admission day last, the occasion of the meet of the Associated Cycling Clubs, that a joint run and reunion at Haywards of all the clubs about the bay of San Francisco would 1 be au interesting and enjoyable event. "By common con sent of the club captains consulted 'the initiative was left the Club Wheelmen, and'i was in a measure understood that the second Sun- 4 ay in October, would be a convenient and litable date. "This date, October meeting of the board of governors of the associated clubs in this city on the evening pre: Ceding, seems especially appropriate.

It lias been suggested that in view of the dissatisfaction which is so likely to- result when an attempt is made to cater for.any great number of 7 persons masse" it Would be well to leave it to the captain of club to manage in advance for lunching his men at such: one of the many ex-'---cellent places of entertainment to be found. at-Hay wards as, his club may prefer. At the same time the wheelmen are willing to arrange to lunch such clubs as may so desire, provided that request is made not later than Thursday, October 5, stating the price "per capita'' 'it is desired to pay for lunch and the number of men to be provided for, it being understood that the Olympic Club wheelmen are guaranteed against all cost or expense by apy club for whose account lunch is ordered.
