Text	This coming season there ought to be a more distinct rule made making the boundary line of professional playing. Hitherto professional clubs have consisted only of such clubs as employed regularly salaried players; while clubs which either paid their players under the rate, or pofited by gate-money receipts, have claimed to be amateur clubs, though they have regularly received their share of gate-money from grounds-keepers. It is to be hoped that the new amateur association will establish a code of rules which will distinctly place clubs of this latter class in their proper position among professional organizations. The fact is, that any club–not owning a ground–which shares the gate-money receipts at match games with ground proprietors, and just as much professional clubs as those who pay their players regular salaries.
