GEORGE WASHINGTON
ENTERS A PROTEST
Coach Bryan Claims That Sterett
Should Get First Prize for Vault
at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Feb. T--Dr- William
Grant. chairman of the registration
committee OF the South Atlantic Assoc
citation OF the Amateur Athletic Union
has received a letter from Capt. w. c
Bryan, coach of the George Washing
ton. University field and track team Of
Washington. lodging a protest against
the awarding Of the first medal to
Strayer, of Jacob Tome Institute, in the
pole vault at the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity sarees last Saturday night.
Captain Bryan claims, OH the part Of
Sterett, of his team, that Strayer was
given one more trial than the Washing
ton man after the bar had been lowered
to ten feet. The men each cleared ten
feet six inches. but failed to go any
higher. 1t was then lowered to three
inches and again the yauiters failed to
clear the bar. Sterett failed at his at
tempt, but Strayer went over. Captain
Bryan claims that Strayer had two
trials. but according to several that
witnessed the event. the Tome man had
but one chance. 1t is further claimed
that he was coached while yaulting.
In reference to the protest lodged
against Herzog, of the Baltimore and
Ohio track relay team, the registration
committee has as yet not taken action,
DR. Grant has called a meeting to take
place within the next few days.

NATIONALS ARE WORRIED

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-During the
meeting of the American League yes
terday John NJ. Ward, counsel for Pitch
or Jack Taylor, found out that there
We're no charges against the player to
be taken under consideration by the
commission after all.
James A. Hart. who had originated
the stories of alleged -crookedness in
connection with the post season series
in Chicago in 1903. .lad made a complete
backdown. But Owner Comiskey, of
the Chicago Americans was not salts
fed to let the matter drop, and he pro-
ceeded to file charges against Hart,
which the commission will review at an
other session today. Hart will be asked
10 be present and make a defense. AS
Taylor il indirectly implicated in these
new charges, Ward viii also request the
right to be on hand to look out for the
interests of his clients.
Nationals Worried.
That the National League men are
seems TO be no doubt. Hermann, who
hung around the American Leaguers
the greater part of the day, finally sue
ceeded in cornering Taylor and pro-
ceede<i to lay down the law TO him in
the most vehement manner. While
Taylor refused TO talk Of the matter, il
was said that Hermann had warned
him to keep quiet and to refrain from
making any further trouble for his ac-
eusers, on pain of dire punishment.
An Outrage.
In regard to the Taylor case, CoEnis-
key said:
THE whole case is one of the biggest
eutrages L ever heard of. The Ma
tionai League looks to be Is. a pretty
hot pickle. Here they have been talk

sorts of raw performances. but when

Only One Test.
There was only one test Of strength
in the meeting, that which came when

naturalization Plan.
The naturalization plan which is to
be adopted was the subject OF the
greatest discussion Il has been
made apparent from the first that Mr..
Hyde did not object TO any nutualfZa-
ton, If it were desired by the stock
holders and policy holders, which
would leave the company protected.
He has objected strongly to any plan
by which policy holders could vote by
proxy, since such an arrangement
would leave the control of the com
pany In the hands of the men who
could get the proxies, at which the
agents and superintendent OF agents
would have the best opportunity. The
most likely plan, it was said, would be
one permitting only such policy hoi-
ders TO vote as were duly accredited
and attended the society's meetings in
person.
The nomination Of officers and their
election followed Senator Depew' s
speech, which made a great impression
on all the directors. There was no OPP
position ticket. The present officers
were unanimously reelected.
