 St Louis, Aug 21.--The Amateur Athletic unions Olympic committee, vested with full power to arrange for the Olympic games of 1904 at the worlds fair held their final meeting here this week with ]. E Sullivan. chief Of the department of physical cul- ture. The members of the committee present were President Walter H. Liginger of the Amateur Athletic union, E. B. Babb, Harry McMillan, H. G. Garneau and John J. O'Connor. As all the athletic events that will be held during the year will take place under the rules of the Amateur Ath- letic union, whereby athletes Eno com- pete must be amateurs ara% registered athletes, the committee discussed at length just how they would proceed in relation to the foreign athletes right to compete without registration. It struck the committee as being only fair that some concession should be made on this particular question, and after a lengthy discussion the repre- sentatives Of the Western association of the Amateur Athletic union which control this district, John J. O'Connor and H. c. Garneau, decided that their association would register free or charge all athletes from any foreign country who have with them or send with their entries a statement from the secretary or president of the ath- Ietic association governing sports in that country to the effect that they are amateurs and eligible to compete. This settles what promised to be an intricate matter to handle.
