The Staten Island A. c. Resigns From the
A. A. U.
The Staten Island Athletic Club has thrown Q
bombshen into the Amateur Athletic Union
camp by resigning its membership in the Metro
politan Association Of the A. A. U. There was
a long discussion on the question. after which
the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas We are not in accord with the
methods Of the A. A u, therefore be it
Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to
forward our resignation as a member of the
Metropolitan Association Of said organization.
A copy Of the resolution was mailed to Sec
rotary Sullivan.
When Secretary Gould was questioned con-
corning the reasons for the action taken by the
club he said:
Simply because we are not in harmony with
the present methods of managing the affairs of
the A. A. u. We had the step in Contemplation
for some time past and our action was urani-
nous. There was no friction. The resolution
was submitted and adopted instantly. Yes the
Staten Island A. c. is in favor Of the plan of
forming new league
1t is known that President Faber made q
long address, in which he set forth that there
was really no good reason why the club should
remain member OF the Metropolitan Associa-
ton, as there is no sympathy between them,
and the latter had apparently lost its power as
a promoter OF the athletic interests of the dis
trict. President Faber's remarks were ap-
plauded.

RACING COSTUME.
The League Bulletin Of last week, speaking OF
racing costumes called attention to the crack
riders in this way: IA few years ago the brevity
Of the racing mans garments became 20 alarm
ing that the L. A. W. formulated rule requlr-
ing racing suits to cover knee and shoulder.
For time things went better, the league even
enforcing this law against indecency to the ex-
tent of defending itself against . lawsuit
brought by q member who thought his reputa-
ton had been ruined because he was not al
lowed to race in clothing contrary to the leagues
specifications. During the past season the racing
costumes of our cracks have grown beautifully
less and less until they have become in many
instances positively indecent. We do not desire
to pose as favoring those ultra-purists
who think Apollo should wear bloom
ers and Diana . hoop skirt, but we
do want to 60 on record as most decidedly
against the appearance OF men upon q track
barely quarter clad. There is no necessity for
such practices, and if the innate decency be
lacking in those who thus expose themselves
we are in favor Of supplying the deficiency by
the strict enforcement Of the L. A. W. rule
against barring knee and shoulder. Any racing
man who cannot compete under such restric-
tons had better forsake cycling and adopt
swimming. where the minimum Of clothing is
not 30 much of an offense against modesty and
good morals"
