This branch of the A. A. L. was for
and. on account OF some differences re-

Sanctions for Games.
Mr.. Thomas Il Barrett, chairman of
the registration committee of Amateur
Athletic Union. located at Baltimore.
gives notice that all games in which
members of athletic clubs or other or
CARNATIONS registered in the A. A. L.
participate must have a sanction from
the latter and that all persons who com
rete in unsanctioned games disGualify
themselves from competing at any games
given under A. U. auspices
This matter CT sanction was brought
directly TO the attention OF persons in
terested in athletics by the failure of
the committee having in charge the
games given last week in one of Balti-
more's parks and known as municipal
games to secure the proper sane
tion. The committee having the mat
ter In charge We're informed what the
consequence would be if they failed to
secure sanction. They neglected to com
ply with the requirements of section 20 |
Article Xl. constitution OF A. A T.. and |
as result those who competed whether |
or not aware of the requirements. are
disqualified from competing in future
games. From now on to the fall there |
will be grand scurrying on the part of |
these athletes to have their disqualified
tion removed by the executive commit |
tee.
The cost Is so little and the benefit /
Is SO great that the matter OF sanction .
and registration should not be neglected |
by either athletes or their clubs.
