Race Prejudice

So Sayeth James E. Sulli-

NEW YORK, Dec. IS-The little
municipality Of Philadelphia, situated
somewhere in the wilds Of the State Of
Pennsylvania. has stirred ur an awful
muss in the A. A Z. and incidentally
detected a little OF the attention that
was being given 10 almost everything
else.
Philadelphia became unnecessarily
wrathy because the A. A. L. recently
passed a rule relating to college ath-
letes. And Philadelphia said that this
was the outcome Of racial partialism.
because IT would bar James b. Taylor,
the great colored runner, from compe-
tition in amateur games. Philadelphia
did not read the rule, but says that MS
q shame. The Philadelphia newspapers
are the mouthpiece % all the indigna-
ton.
Sullivan Laughs.
James z. Sullivan, the president of
the A. A. u, heard ell about It yes
terday. and. after leaning back in his
comfy armchair and making Il Warren
street echo with laughter, remarked:
a why, this is the funniest crouch
that 1 ever heard Of in all my expert
ence. The A. A. L. adopted a rule that
barred college athletes from register
ing as members OF clubs that are not
I'm the district Of their educational in
situations. What's that got TO 60 with
Taylor? An amateur athlete can enter
any set Of games In the country as long
as he is IN gOOd standing. The only
thing we regulated was the matter OF
the club he was to represent.
How He Can Do It.
Taylor IS not registered IN the Net
ropOlitan district, but he can enter
any set Of games IN Il. as LONG as he
holds himself forth as a member OF

OF the clubs situated in the Middle
Atlantic district The papers say that
the new rule was foisteI upon the A
