His Presence Objectionable.

George II. Rosson called at the Bijou
Theater Saturday afternoon just after the
close of the performance. and said he was
looking foc a member OF the troupe. To
find him he went behind the scenes. His
presence there proved objectionable. and
he was ordered to leave. His exit was not
hasty enough to suit William II. Madden,
and a display of his athletic prowess re-
suited in Rosson going down the steps
head first.
When picked up. Rosson was so badly In
jured that Policeman Goss had him taken
to the Emergency Hospital DR.. Juene-
mann, who attended him. found that his
arm was broken. His hip was also in
5ured. Yesterday the injured man was

THE FARRELLIRWIN FIGHT

At a meeting Of the intercollegiate Asso-
citation of Amateur Athletes in New York
Saturday the association declared against
the registration scheme of the Amateur
Athletic Union and decided not to be gov
erned by it.
The resolution. after pointing out that
this rule of the A. A. L. is detriment to
amateur competition and should either be
abolished or modified, declared that an ath-
lete competing for a college Of the 1. C. A
A. A. has, by reason of his membership in
such an association. a full and sufficient
record Of all that the registration scheme
requires. and should therefore be exempt
from registration.
1t was decided that In future contests
points will be scored as follows: 1. six
points; 2. four; 3, two; 4. one. In the
makeup of the championship events the
two-mile run was substituted for the one
mile event. It was at first proposed to
make the distance three miles to conform
with the English list.
