HAND BOOKS AND PrKER BETTERs
Basis of the Trouble Kicked Up over
neuufuRr.

Henntngs.
WASHINGTON, April 4-''The whole
trouble over racing here has been caused
by the handbooks," said a business man.
They became so numerous that It really
was very bad state Of affairs, Clerks and
boys were piking around and neglecting
their work until the business men of the
city got disgusted with il all. The races
might run here for hundred years and
the Washington people would never object;
in fact, the best people go to the track and
like the spring and fall meetings. The fa-
natics and reformers have seized upon the
occasion to make fight on racing.
LAS between congress and the racing peo-
pie, the majority of the business people
here would welcome the latter. A lot Of US
are glad enough when congress is gone,
for there is never any telling what these
men from other states, who have nothing
to lose here and show neither regard for
nor interest in the Washingtonian, will do
In the way of injury. Because their county
in their own state has voted prohibition, for
instance, they would just as soon as not
make II so in Washington. All they want
is to get back another term, and so we
have the capital of the country ruled by
men who are foreign to it and all it's inter-
ests."
The spring meeting at Benning will pass
off without any interruption Of the bet
ting.

HUFF OF GRNNELI MAY BE OUT
Allegation He Competed for Money
and Is Professional


IOWA CITY, April 4.-(speciaI.) Ut now
seems inevitable that the Iowa Collegiate
association will be called on to pass on the
eligibility of the foremost track athlete In
the state before the state meet on May o.
Harry Huff of Grinnell Is the man who
will be in the limelight when the investi-
CATION begins and the decision OF the au-
thorities on the point may have far-reach-
ing consequences, even TO barring the
speedy Grinnell man from the Olympic
games and impairing the chances OF the
American team to win the honors Of that
event
Huff is undoubtedly in a class by him
self In the west and was the winner of
the 1O0-yard event at jamestown last year
over Dan Kelly Of Oregon. A rumor of
diminutive proportions started some weeks
ago to the effect that Huff is barred on
two counts from the state event. It is al
legged on good authority that he is on the
pay roll of the college, being listed In the
catalogue of the institution as an instructor
In commercial branches. II this charge is
proven II will bar him from competition in
the state meet under the rules of the state
association. But the most serious charge
is to the effect that Huff was a member
OF hose team in the Dakotas last sum
mer and ran for money in several races.
A decision against Huff on the count will
stamp him a professional under the rules
OF all athletic organizations and will dis
qualify him from competing in the tryouts
for the Olympic games. Several Of the
colleges Of the state have taken the mat
ter up and the rumor is now developing
into demand for an investigation. Grin
nell says nothing and HUFF is silent on the
question. With Huff out Grinnell will lose
at least eight points at the state meet and
as many or more In the conference event
In Chicago. This will be enough to shift
the dope on winners, requiring q new card
entirely. Miller Of Iowa is the logical sue
cessor Of Huff in the state meet and the
Iowa relay teams seem to have It on the
rest OF the schools with Grinnell out OF the
running. The track fans Of the university
are seeing visions of first at the state
meet II Huff goes out and the same may be
said of Drake and Ames.
