NO AWARD YET
OF PRIZE TROPHY

The 81. Patrick's Association has
been holding the cup pending a de-
cision by tho registration committee
Of the Middle Atlantic section of the
A. A. L., which has been expected
every day. and Mr.. Sullivan's opinion
is given merely as from an expert,
but not as an oficial. In his letter
he says;
II have gone thoroughly into the
matter Of the dispute Of which you
speak. and as far as I can sec. Il
should certainly be decided that tho
hammer throwing competition was an
open competition and that the Irish
American Athletic Association Of New
York won the trophy. This Is as the
matter has been presented 20 me.
From a legal standpoint, the case
should be decided by the registration
committee of the association In which
you arc located. My decision carries
absolutely no weight. except as from
the president OF the A. A. U. II Is
not an Official decision. and is merely
from an interested person and perhaps
