RATE PROTEST IS LIKELY CIIAMRF.lt CONSIDERS AGREEMENT FOR KEIUCTION NOT MET. Statement That toss pa a Ira Are Laalng Meary Ala la Belittled aad Fewer Flaea Are Mentioned. A protest against the recent rise in Insurance rates In Portland, promul gated by the Underwriters' Equitable Rating Bureau, probably will result from the meeting of the executive com mittee of the board of directors of the Portland Chamber of Commerce next Tuesday. At that time the recent ad vance In rates will be taken up for con sideration and some plan of action mapped out. Officials of the chamber assert that previous to "Cleanup week an under standing was hsd that In case of u suc- cessful campaign rates would be re duced. As a consequence, tney now say that the recent adjustment of rates, which means an Increase of 15 per cent In most Instances, Is uncalled for. They point out that tbo fire loss In the city has been becoming less and. conse quently, the argument that insurance companies have been losing: money Is faulty. James N". MrCune. secretary of the Underwriters' Equitable Rating Bureau, In a circular letter to agents of board companies yesterday urged them to use as an argument In explaining to clients the revision in insurance rates that the companies have been losing money through heavy fire losses. It Is said that the Underwriters' Bu reau was not consistent Ira its revision ol rates. AMATEUR IS DEFINED Colleges to Bar Men Who Take Money or Assume Names. SUMMER BALL IN DISFAVOR Coaches Who Take Pay Barred Only From Competition in Line of Sport In Which They Are Benefited Rales General. NEW TORK, Dec 30. After an ex haustive discussion of the amateur rule the conference of delegates from sport- governing bodies throughout the coun try. which was adjourned from last Monday until today, concluded the ses slon late tonight with the understand Ing that a similar meeting will take place in this city about the same time one year hence. Qustarus T. KIrby. of tne advisory Board of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, pre sided over the session and made it clear that anything adopted by the meeting would be only In the rorrn oi recommendations to the governing bodies of the different sports, with the hope that In the near future the different organizations will recognize one another's rulings until they can establish an alliance. Asaatear la Defined. It was unanimously agreed that an amateur sportsman is one who engages In sport solely for the pleasure, and physical, mental, moral and social benefits that he derives therefrom and to whom sport Is nothing more than a vocation. By competing or giving an exhibition In any of these sports under an assumed name or by being guilty of any fraud in connection therewith, it was decided the penalty should be dis barment for life from amateur eligibil ity. For other Infractions of the rules. such as receiving pay or pecuniary benefit In consideration of or as a re ward for participating in any public athletic competition or exhibition, or disposing of prizes for personal gain, the offender shall never thereafter be permitted to compete or exhibit as an amateur in the sport or sports in which such act was committed. Coaching Acta as Bar. Anyone who directly or indirectly generally benefits for Instructing or preparing any person in or for any ath letic competition or exercise shall not be permitted during the period of the coaching to take part in any competi tion, but on ceasing to be a coach he may be privileged to amateur eligibil ity In any other sport, and after an elapse of five years, be replaced In good standing in the sport in which he bad acted as coach. On the question of Eummer baseball and Summer camps where amateurs take part in games with professionals, or where the amateur is a player on a team or playing against a team on which there are professionals, it was the sense of the meeting that such competitions between amateurs and professionals should not be favored. The capitalization of athletic fame by granting or permitting the use of one's name to advertise or promote the sale of sporting goods, prizes or other commodities for use in connec tion with athletic games shall not be permitted. It was unanimously decided that none of these rules or penalties should apply to bowling or shooting with revolvers, rifles or shotguns, in all of which events money prizes are invariably of fered.
