While the trip next summer of college golf players from this country to
the famous courses on the other side of the big pond is announced simply to

out that they will take pains to avoid being in England at the time of the

The best of the Intercollegiate players will go abroad, among them being

of Yale a former ttehodm: w. Il. West and Ralph Peters. j, IF Prince

occurred in the proposed wrestling bout

Minneapolis, who was instrumental in
getting the foreigner to consent to

agreed to wrestle under his auspices.
The American wrestler denies this and
states that he is open to the most ia
vorable offer.
DIR. John j. Message, Of Chicago, says
he had a talk with Gotch, and that
the latter will wrestle under his aus

LONGBOAT is NOW OUT
OF AMATEUR RANKS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-"Tom Long
boat, the Indian, is now out of the
amateur ranks for good" said James
q. Sullivan, president of the Amateur
Athletic Union, yesterday. Mr.. Sulli-
van made this remark after reading
the story that Longboat had com
peted against three men in a relay race
in Boston Thursday night, defeating
them, and how the A. A.. u. rules in
regard to Longboat's suspension was
c~ircumvented by securing a sanction
from the Canadian Association, and
having two Canadians and a Scotch
oman run against the Indian.
Mr.. Sullivan was asked why he did
not take steps to prevent the race be-
ing held under these peculiar condi-
tons.
"How could WEI" answered Mr.. Sui
liyan. did We try to stop the profess
sional Shrubb running in Boston? Now
that everything is clear to me, under
no circumstances will the Indian get
back in the A. A. u. If he applies
for reinstatement it will not be con
sidered."
Longboat's race in Boston will un-
QOuDlcdly ulSQudllly ulIl vi lie great
Marathon contest at the Olympic meet
in London. The Canadians may send
him across the Atlantic, but the Eng
fish committee is pretty sure to stand
by the American association in the
matter of his unfitness to compete
against amateurs.
The belief is general in athletic cir
cles that Poor Lo" made money in his
Boston race and that the men he met
are really professionals.
The Athletic League of the United
States Volunteer Life Saving Corps is
up in arms and the A. A. u. has one
more fight on it's hands. The life saw
ers are mad clean. through because the
registration committee decided that
their -cross-country run tomorrow is an
open event, and that the great distance
runners Nobis and Hayes, would be
suspended unless the III was n
toned by the A.. A. u. Nobis and
Hayes are members of the live saving
corps and also registered athletes in
other clubs. The life aver claim
their event is a closed affair, and can
not see why a sanction is necessary.
They mean to fight the question out.
