Sheppard, Bacon, Porter, Bon- hag and Bellars Charged With Professionalism
 by A. A. U.
.EX0R8ITAMT EXPENSES
Athletes in This Way Received Pay for Seryices--AGtion Result of Buffalo Games---J. J. Lee
 Also Under Ban.

New York. Dec. 2S,-There was n de- clded shake up In amateur athletic cir eles tonight when announcement was made of the suspension of six prom inent athletes, five of whom took part In tho recent Olympic games at Lon don, Eng. The suspended men, against whom the charge of professionalism was made are: Melvin w. Sheppard, Charles Bacon, Harry r. Porter and George V Bonhag, all of the Irish American A. C.; F. c. Bellars, New York A. C., and John J, Lee. formerly of the Boston A. A.. but now unat- tached.
 The action was the outcome of searching investigation by the regis tration committee of the Amateur Ath- letic Union, which was conducted at the Westside Y NJ. C.. A. building to- night Chairman Obertubessing of the committee said that he and his fellow members had come to the conclusion that these athletes, and possibly others, had been demanding sums beyond what might be termed legitimate ex- penses, and the monetary claims of some of them were exhorbitant He showed statement from Major Wolf of the 74th Regiment, N. C., N. Y, at Buffalo which showed that Porter. Shepard and Bonhag were paid, ac- cordinS to the ideas of the committee, amounts far In excess of what were considered ordinary expenses. The three men took part in games at Buff falo on December 12 last.
 The committee also announced that information has been received by 1t from reliable sources that professional trainers and coaches have been de- mandlng money for the appearance at outside meets of members of their teams, This will not be tolerated by the committee and a warning has been sent to all amateur athletes that they must not allow themselves to be par ties to such transactions under pen- alty of suspension on professional grouds.
 Sheppard and Porter, two of the sus- pended men, and Martin Sheridan, of the Irish-American A. C., left to-day in charge of Trainer Ernie Hjerzberg to take part in an athletic meet in Pittsburg tomorrow night, but the ac- ton of the committee will prevent ths appearance of Sheppard and Porter, be- cause their suspension became opera tive the moment the committee an- nounced 1t.
 Chairman Obertubessing said that the committ-s would hold several ses- sions during the next four weeks and that every complaint against regis tered amateur athletes would be inves- tlgated thoroughly.

LONDON ON THE FIGHT.

London, Dec. 2S.-The sporting critics of the London dailles pay the fullest tribute to Burns game exhibition of pluck in his fight with Johnson at Sydney, while they indulge in ironical remarks about his boastful attitude prior to the match. Practically all re- ports concede that Johnson was su- perior 10 his opponent in every par ticular, even in reparteeo
 The Daily Mall in an editorial says: "In intelligence. not to mention man. ners, Johnson seemed a full match for tho white man The fight Is hardly likely to figure among the heroic ones of boxing history, and the conclusion probably will be that Burns obtained the championship in a period of de- cadence and hardly deserved his high reputation"

PLAYERS AVERAGES
Bobby Hart Jumps Into Lead as Best Goal Cager--Suther- land Putting Up Good Ex-
 hibition in Goal.

Tho most sensational jump in the individual averages of the polo play CTS during the last week was that of Bobby Hart of tao Worcester qum- tet in the matter of caglug goals. Bobby played in seven games anu in those seven caged thrty-two goals, thus passing hls old teammate "Tel" Lewis, who only played in six games
 Lewis has dropped to third place in taking rushes having been passed hy "Jigger' Hlgsins In this respect however Lincoln has perfectly saro lead.
 Anon the goal tends Ramon as vet is In the lead, but the way Harper and Sutherland are JumNng up is nothing short of marvellous Suthrr- land, who but recently joined the Worcester quintet is putting up d great game and undoubtedly win give Bannon hard run for his place.

DRIVES FOR THE CAGE.

If Holdencss or Jean puts uD such an exhibition as they did at the local rink last night blue envelope certain iy ought to come their way. Both or the New Bedford players wero really so slow that the local players could aI- most skate the length of the rink be, fore they even thought of driving. When they did drive it was only Into the clutches of the home players,
 The local players had Pence, the wis ting goal tend, doing all sorts Of handsprings in his cage last night with their drives First the Now Bedford tenders legs would shoot out 10 one side, only to be recalled and shot out to the other. The performance was certainly amusing
 Paul Gardner, the local halfback got struck in the rib in the second period at last nights game, Nothing daunted, however, he continued
 Tommy Leahy's decision that he did not see the manner in which the last New Bedford goal was caged was only far when he allowed it. When 1t comes to watching the players to sec that they don't commit any assaults and then have to see and follow the ball it certainly is big job for one lone man and when anything like last nights occurrence happens we will have to forgive him.

Second Rush Works Hard for Home Teams Victory--Duggan Per forms Well for tho
 Visitors.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
lnr thn Official Scorer.N

In very fast and exciting game the local polo team, putting up a star eX- hibitlon, proved themseves masters of the New Bedford quintet, who made their initial appearance at the local rink under their new name, by a score of 4 to 2, The contest was very clean one and was also proof of the fact that the message of Secretary Perrin was to be borne In mind by the players.
 It was mainly due to the off playing of Tommy Holderness at halfback and of Fred Jean at center for the visitors that the game went tho locals way so easily. "Kid' Duggan tried his best to put victory on the shelf for his team but his teammates were not so dis posed
 Bones playing, ns was that of War ner, was the feature of the homo teams exhibition. Showing himself all over the rink the New Haven captain manager certainly showed that his whole heart was ir winning and in that alone He was responsible for three of the four goals with which the home team was credited and 1t was by his clever blocking that the Whalers were unable to land further goals.
 Frank Warmers playing should not be forgotten. Capturing eight of the nine rushes the locals first rusher was not content with this honor alone. Jumping In throughout tho contest at unexpected places he showed up well. He started the scoring for the home team in the first period In little over seven minutes after play had com menced. Then Fred Jean came along and with terrific swipe put his team in on the scoring. Then after Duggan drove tho ball Into tho New Ha ven cage, only to roll out again Bone broke into the scoring side and gave his team m advantage of one goal over his opponents, winding the score Up for the first period.
 He also made the only score In tho second period and this on q rebound from one of Warmers drive Tn tho third period the local second rush again started the scoring, winding lt I'D for the locals with 9 lead of three goals. Harkins then either drove or kicked the ball into the locals cage at which there was a howl raised hy the home team Tommy Leahy, however. fave the New Bedford team the benefit of the doubt and as long as no moro scoring was done In the game, every thing ended we'll The score follows New Haven.
