A. A. U. UPHOLDS AND
REFLECTS SULLIVAN
BODY Passes Resolutions Which, In
Effect, Sever Relations With
British Athletic Bodies.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated PTeSSb
NEW YORK, Nov, l6.-Closing a
year of well nigh unexampled activity
and probably the most important IN
its history. The American Athletic
Union OF the United States held its
annual meeting here today and took
action that will have an important
bearing upon the holding OF future
International athletic events.
1T again elected as It's president
James f. Sullivan, who In accepting
said he consented to serve q third
term only because his retirement
might be construed abroad as an ad'
mission on his part. and that of the
American Olympic committee. that his
acts as United States commissioner
had not received the sanction OF the
A. A. U. of the United States.
Uphoids President Sullivan.
The union not only unanimously
reelected Mr. Sullivan. resembling us
rule against a third term to do so
but resolutions unfolding him in the
course he pursued during the pro
cedure OF the games in London
when frequent disputes arose be
tween the American athletic authorl
ties and the committee in charge OF
the events at Sheperd's Bush.
Since the conclusion Of the Olym
piad a few months ago. and the re-
turn of the officials and athletes to
this country. there has been a bitter
feeling between the American and
British athletic associations.
Ties Of comoetition Severed.
This practically eliminated today
in the adoption Of resolutions which
bring about the severance Of the Ties
OF friendly competition between
these bodies.
There never was q really binding
agreement between America and
Great Britain In athletics. but today's
action Of the A. A. U. ofiicials Is SUI
ficiently dramatic TO insure IAN
treatment for American athletics In
all future International contests. The
sense of the meeting Of delegates to
day was that unless the American
Athletic Union had a share In the
management Of such meetings. none
OF the registered athletes from thi'
country should be permitted to com
pete in them The unions endorse
ment OF Presiden. SuIlivan's acts as
commissioner carried with IL approval
cf his action In the case OF J. c
Carpenter. Of Cornell University.

SP0TTY AND IRREGULAR
uixed Views Prevail as 10
Speculative Outlook.
TOBACCO Decision CAUSES ALARM
More Attention Also Is Given by
Traders to Question Of Tariff Revi-
sion-Upward Movement Is Con-
strained and lanouid.
(By Associated PreSs).

, NEW YORK, Nov l6.-MiXcd views
over the speculative outlook found
their reflection in the spotty ana
somewhat irregular tone of the stock
market today. The upward move
ment was constrained and languid by
comparison with last weeks vigorous
movements and the prominence OF a
stock of a minor grade in the rise
left il with less convincing power
on sentiment towards the market.
Specific reasons for the check to the
speculative accumulasions were not
clear. II was based apparently more
on the general consideration Of the
extent to which distribution had been
going on at the high level OF prices
and the suspicion that with such dis
tribution effected the market would
enjoy less fostering care from the
powerful interests which had been In
control all through the summer ana
UP to The time O. the election.
The court decision that the Ameri'
can Tobacco Company is in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law Is re-
ceiving closer attention. More atten'
ton was given also to the question
of tariff revision and its probable
bearing on business activity and on
special interests. News Of the gov
ernment's suit to collect back taxes
from the American Sugar Refining
Company weakened that stock. Inc
foreign sales of stocks stiffened the
foreign exchange market, but the
money market was little changed
