During the swimming races there we're
rumors as TO the dissatisfaction that is
being voiced as to Otto Whale as a. mem
Der of the clubs swimming committee
Whale was much I'm evidence and he would
not allow any of the rules TO be in
game at the close, Daniels and another
swimmer endeavored 10 have Whale allow
the home team to play substitutes in
either half. Whale fatty refused to do
so, saying that the rule was that no PLAYER
could be replaced unless incapacitated.
This did not seem TO please Daniels.
especially as Whale made it clear that no
imaginary injury would pass as q reason
Tor substituting another player and that
any attempt so TO do would find the team
playing with one less man on its side
Ihe former athletic captain of the New
Sl ork Athletic Club, Jerry Mahoney said
that there had been considerable opposl-
ton TO Otto Whale in the clubs SWIM
ming committee during the past wear.
He had, however, found Whale a most
competent committeeman and had there
fore retained him. The ex-captain further
stated that he had always found Whale
fearless II the discharge OF his duties and
courageously honest and fair always in his
Judgment as TO matters connected with
the swimmers.
1t appeared that Whale was recon-
rlended for the committee position nv
James z. Sullivan, then president of the
Amateur Athletic Union. Captain Ma
honey said that despite many influences
Whale had maintained a high standard
In the sport of swimming. While the COM
rnittee appointments made by the newly
elected Captain Matty Halpin would not
be announced until next Friday night. it
was the opinion of Captain Mahoney that
Whale would continue his work Oh the
swimming committee of the club for the
coming year.
Harry Lyons, former track champion
and a club lieutenant, stated that the
opposition TO Whale was entirely due to
the inability of some of the swimmers
TO sway him He stood for the SQUARE
thing and fair play III sport, and it was
expected he would retain his position
Captain Matty Iialpin was not at the
club TO give his views as TO Whales fit
ness. which some of the swimmers seem
TO question.
