Amateurs Are Suspended.

Cramer was not the only man to make
his formal debut into the professional
ranks last night. Barker. who was also
formerly a Carroll player. decided 10
cast his lot along with the money-taking
athletes and is now a member OF the
st. Stephens team. The work of both
men was creditable.
In connection with the playing OF
Cramer and Barker, Capt T. G. Ed
wards, the Washington representative
OF the registration committee of the
A A. L., stated this morning that he
had sent written notices 10 the TWO
men IN question informing them that
they had been suspended from the ANA

DIT. Grant, who will come over 10 Wash

MANY RELAY RACES

Prominent Local Athletes

IDEAL BUILDING FOR GAMES
Turf Floor Permits Runners to Wear
Outdoor Spiked
Shoes.

The first annual indoor meet of the
Norfolk Young Mems Association at
Norfolk on Saturday. March Il. bids
fair to eclipse anything Of its kind that
has been held in the South this season.
The horse show building. in which the
games will be held, is one of the largest
structures south of New York. and has
a seating capacity nearly equal to that
of Madison Square Garden. Besides
this great advantage. which permits of
much longer spirits and less turns in
the long runs, for the first time this
season in the South contestants will be
permitted TO wear spiked shoes. The
regulation outdoor running slippers will
be worn, as the floor of the show build
ing is turf
Long Entry List.
This last fact alone should make Nor
folk the first city of this part OF the
country for the holding of indoor meets.

next few years. the Virginia City VIII

Besides an individual entry list OF over
100 scholastic and college athletes who
viii compete in the sixteen events, there
are half dozen or more relays slated
for the evening. Pennsylvania, George
town. George washington. and Johns
Hopkins may be carded in two of these
popular exhibitions. II this one OF these
events cannot be arranged, II is probable
that George washington may again
have a Whack at the University OF VIZ

at the High School games in this city

Army and Navy Meet.
Another relay will be that for the
members OF the army and navy posts
at the Portsmouth navy yard. The Army
and Navy Preparatory School of the
District viii most likely be matched
with the Franklin Military Academy
Still another relay win be that between
Williams and Mary's College and an
other Southern institution There will
also be a relay for the grade schools Of
Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Sterrett, the Southern champion pole

The counsel will be chosen within

important and far-reaching that the

the desire OF the commission to secure
