ATHLETES POW-WOW.
Captain Jordan Rejects Charles
Titles Entry.
The Alpine Club Threatens to Withdraw From
the Observation-Disclosures Entered
for the Meeting Next Week.

The wind did not blow favorably last evening
at the Olympic Club when the representatives,
OF the Alpine Club handed in their list OF en-.
tries for The championship meeting
Captain Jordan OF the Pacific Coast Amateur
Athletic Association glanced over the ro-
gramme and Immediately detected the name
of Charles Little among those who were booked
TO appear as contestants.
Jordan did not approve OF Little's name
figuring on the list, and in very terse language
Informed Mr.. Moody of the Alpine Club that he
bad preponderanee OF evidence against Little
which would convict him before any jury OF pro-
Iessionalism.
"Pror to The games at which Little took part
under the guse of being an amateur" said JGr-
dan, II heard that he was professional and
have used my utmost endeavOrs since then TO
establish his Identity with professionalism.
Last Sunday Little and a professional rum
ner named Kendall ran a foot.race In Alameda
for money consideration, which Is in open
defiance OF all amateur laws. have now In my
possession a document. sworn TO before no.
tary public by two gentleman, who saw Little
and Kendall race last Sunday for money.
Is THIS NOT ENOUGH.
This should be sufficient evidence to con-
vince the most skepiical that Little should not
be entitled TO recognition among amateurs, and,
more especially, as contestant at an amateur
championship meeting. | certainly do object TO
his entry, and VIII not accept IT,"
Messrs. Moody and Gaffney OF The Alpine Club
took a differ ent view OF the Little case and Oh
iected most emphatleally 10 JOrdan's decision in
the matter, on The ground that Jordan, as Cap
tain Of the p. c. A. A. A, could not, as a com
mittee OF one, decide the question.
Z" You may be in possession of charges sworn
TO 10y men who saw Little run against PROBES.
sional," said Moody. " but doubt very much if
these people who preferred the charges could
prove mat Little knowingly competed Tor a
money consideration. l think this matter ought
TO he decided by the officers OF the association"
Little did not appear at the club although lie
remained outside the building for some time, ex-
nectlng 10 be called before The examining board
OF officials. He acknowledged having run with
Kendall last Sunday, but emphatcally denied
the charge OF having contested fer money.
REASON FOR DIRECTING.
The officers OF the Alpine Club limited that the
Olympans did not desire 10 have Little contest
against Scott their champion half-miie runner,
and for this reason the strong objections against
The Aipines were raised. IL IS very probable
that Little will be disqualified, and 1t is also
probable that the Alpine athletes will withdraw
their entry from the association.

pie, University Alpine, Oakland and Garden
City clubs, have entered. Those OF the olympic

testants.

meeting as representative OF tile olympic Club
IL was In even fair condition." said Nj r. Purcell
"but l would feel indeed very much disap-
pointed II was unable TO come up TO the records
have established In this country and also In
England and Ireland"
The Olympic Club relies upon Southeastern
and Purcell 10 win the laurels attached to an
athletic victory on the Both Of this month.
The r. e. A. A. A. feels somewhat disap-
pointed that time will not allow iG to Invite Mrs.

would certainly be an attraction In the hurdle
race
