SHEPPARD Under FIRE AGAIN
Registration Committee OF 4. 4. L.
Wants Another Item Explained.

There was a four hour executive session
OF the registration committee OF the Metro
politan Association 4. 4. L. last night
AZ the Astor House. Messrs Obertubessing
Hughes and Warner had many witnesses
before them at the secret conclave who
entered and left the room with a stealthy
air. The cases NAV be heard from later.
but the commit eemen. although they had
gloomy eyes and wrinkled foreheads as
they left the meeting room had little to give
out.
The committee has been obtaining de-
tailed statements from its members regard
ing all disbursements at sets of games. A
response from Ira T.. Kaplan OF the G. g. y. Y.
showed that Mel sheppard the great half
miller, had been paid SIS for expenses and
Bellairs s.. The committe then wrote to
Sheppard asking how he had eSpend ed
the money. Having been suspended a nd
reinstat I'd In December. Sheppard's reply.
which was addressed TO Chairman Obertu-
besslng, was somewhat caustic. IL read:
SIR: Your favor OF the 18th inst. regarding
c. Z. " y. games held last December 10 hand
and In reply would say that In January when you
and bring my prizes and itemized expense lists
OF games had competed In from August TO Janu.

The ruling last night was that the reply
was not satisfactory and unless Sheppard
explains by March 10 he will be under sns-
pension. There was protest received
