bad weather in case Of a backward spring,

Presidents Johnson and Pulliam have been
at work on the rough drafts of their 1906
schedules, but the former discovered a way
to set back the American Leagues opening
five days without sacrificing that amount of
time in October and has made the sugges-
ton to Pulliam that he try to do the same
with the National Leagues schedule The
latter is working on that suggestion. and
in the interval, work on the American
Leagues dates has been suspended pend

SPLINTER DUFFEY
AFTER AMATEUR UNION.

NEW YORK, January 6.-Arthur Duffey,
the we'll known athlete, through his attor-
ney, C. P. Rogers. has made a. preliminary
demand upon James Z. Sullivan. secretary
and treasurer of the Amateur Athletic
Union to restore Duffey's records as an
amateur athlete in the Official Athletic AL
manac of 1906, and also to compel the Anna
teur Athletic Union, which has recently ex-
plunged his records, to restore them.
When seen last night Mr.. Rogers said that
the demands made are based upon the fact
that the Amateur Athletic Union has ignor-
ed its own rules and regulations, in that
they have not adopted In Duffeys case the
usual method of procedure, which Is to al
low any athlete charged with professional
ism to appear before the committee and be
heard In his own behalf before any action
Is taken ''In Duffey's case said the law
yer, "they passed resolution declaring him
professional without giving him a hear
ing"
When asked If 1t was not fact that
Duffey had publicly announced that he was
a professional, Mr.. Rogers said that he had
never admitted that he was other than an
amateur athlete. Unless Mr.. Sullivan and
the Amateur Athletic Union agree to re-
store Duffey's records Mr.. Rogers says that
the will bring an action in the special term
OF the supreme court to compel them to do
SO.
Mr.. Sullivan was not much disturbed
about the demands OF Duffey. He said, Let
them sue II they want to. We establish and
create the records. and we have the right
to do what we have done. Duffey Is looking
for notwithstanding that's ALL"

Y. M. c. A. SWIMMERS.
Life-Saving Club to Boom Water
Polo.

That interest and enthusiasm In water
polo and other water sports in the city is
growing was shown by the enthusiastic
meeting which was held in the Outing Club
rooms of the Y. Nj. c. A. building last
evening. 1t was a meeting of the Wash
ington Swimming and Life Saving Club Of
the Y. NJ c. A, which was organized about
two weeks ago. 1t is planned to continue
to develop water sports along general lines
and to take up water polo after the men
have had more general practice in the
water.
At the meeting which was held last even
ing officers of the club We're elected as fol-
lows: President, Phil III. kemon; vice pres
ident, A. A. Williamson; secretary, Ralph
A. Shepard; treasurer L. A. Clausel.
These officers We're elected in accordance
with the provisions of the constitution
which was adopted at the last meeting. In
order to fix the charter members the Off
GERS were made a membership committee,
and they will consider the applications for
charter membership and report at the next
meeting, which is to be held on January 20.
In order to become a member OF the club
the person must be able to swim 800 yards
without rest and release himself from the
clutch of a subject and carry the subject
one length of the pool by one of the stand
ard methods. BY these tests the member
ship will be limited to those who have al
ready shown ability in the line of water
sports and life saving. About forty appli-
cations Tor membership nave been received
by President Kemon. In order to deter
mine their eligibility the officers will be in
the Y. NJ. c. A. swimming pool on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday nights for the next
two weeks, to observe the abilities of the
applicants. All who qualify by the tests
stated will be favorably considered by the
membership committee and will become
charter members of the club.
Interest in playing water polo was mani
tested last evening, and that will be of
the special features of the club. But until
the membership has been determined and
the men have become accustomed to the
new pool active practice will not be taken
up. AT the next meeting, January %,
arrangements will be completed for regu-
lar practice in water polo. Already appIi-
cations for a game with the local team are
beginning to come in. The Baltimore Ath-
letic Association has made several inquiries
as to when the local team would get to
playing, and Mr.. Kemon this week has re-
ceived a challenge from the Yale water polo
team for a game this winter. Prospects are
very bright for an excellent team, as the
membership of the club is made up of some
good swimmers and some men who are ex-
perts in the water. Although only three or
four have ever played the game much, the
men who can handle themselves in the
water will soon develop into expert polo
players
