GIDEON UPHoLDs THE A. A. 0.
An Important Question Regarding
Professional Players Among CycIprs.

Ny ENfIH
Some few dogs ago Secretary Sullivan
Of the A. A, y. received a communication
from G. B.. Hansen. of Chicago, as follows:
Mr.. ]. e. Sullivan
Dear Sir-We would like to have you
settle a little question CT dispute which
came up at q recon meeting of cycling
clubs who met for the purpose Of formfng
an indoor baseball league. The point is,
Can a professional bicycle rider be allowed
to play with an amateur indoor baseball
team composed OF amateur bicycle riders,
and if he is allowed to. DOES it make 9TH
er members Of his team professionals?
Kindly let me have your reply 50 that
! can be posted on the matter Monday
the I'D.
Very truly yours,
tSigneD G. B. HANSEN
Secretary Sullivan notified Mr.. Hansen
that under the rules of the A. A. u. if a
professional bicycle rider played en- an
indoor baseball team or any other team
50 far as that Is concerned, the other
members Of the team would make them
selves professionals, n ne requested that
ne write to Chairman Gideon for a deci-
SIGN as OF whether the aforesaid bicycle
riders after becoming professionals atal-
letee fer competing with professional nd
eFs would become professional riders.
Chairman Gideon wrote TO Mr.. Sullivan
as follows
Referring again to your question, if the
"a a. u. Sf1Culu suspend OF uEJu4HIy an
athlete, or ii he should make himself in
eligible to compete under the A. A. U.
rules from any cause rejecting upon his
as an amateur OF fair name as a
sportsman, the L. A. W. would undoubt-
eddy back up our disqualihcations.'
The araywer has an important bearing
the future of athletics. It proves
concfasiveIy that Chairman GIDEON is
and soul with the A. A. u in en-
forcing Its rules and regulations. and will
uphold the A. A. u. in any suspensions or
disqualifications that 1t infiets, This
means a great deal TO the A. A. o.. and
athletes should take warning. In case
they are suspended or disqualified by the
A. A. u. or any Of ITS branches they cam
not compete in amateur bicycle paces IN
der the raless of the L. A. w. This deci-
sion of Chairman Gideon has been re-
eeiyed with pleasure by the officials of
the metropolitan branch, and no doubt it
Will be enjoyed by the officials Of the other
associations throughout the country, as it
strengthens them a great deal and ia fu-
ture athletes viii fear suspension more
than they have In the past.
