| Text | The managers of the Athletic club have under consideration an excellent idea which will undoubtedly be fully matured before the opening of the next season. It is to bring under their management a fine amateur club to be chosen from players in this city who desire to enter the ranks of professionals. This club will occupy the grounds of the Athletic club during the club's absence and will play with Inter-State and other clubs. When the club is home the amateurs will be taken on short trips and games will be arranged so as to keep the club playing nearly every day. The details of this movement are not yet all completed but will probably be so before very long. By this means the Athletic club will bring into prominence many an excellent amateur that is destined to shine as a bright particular star in the ranks of professionalism in seasons to come, and at the same time will have the effect of enlarging the professional circle and doing away with the exorbitant salaries that are now demanded. |
