NEW RULES
AFFECT A. A.U.
Athletes Must Show Clear
Title to Participate in
Sports
TRANSFERS ARE
UP FOR DISCUSSION

Many local athletes who have fig
ured in track events in eastern cities
and who have also entered in Mara
thon contests at various times, do not
fully understand the meaning of the
new rule governing the transfer OF
athletes from one club to another.
There are times during a season when
the younger athletes figure in entries
Of different organizations and they
want to know il the new rule affects
them.
Joseph E. O'Toole who represents the
Amateur Athletic Union in Whining.
ton, will gladly furnish any informa-
ton desired. All events in Whining
ton are governed by the A. A. y.
rules.
One question that has arisen is in
relation to the authority of the regis
tration committee of any association
of the Amateur Athletic Union to
transfer an athlete from one club to
another after November 20, 1911. One
athlete asked, if he resigns from his
club. if that does not give the regis
tration committee the privilege OF
transferring him should he ask for a
transfer. The Amateur Athletic Union
has decided that resigning from a
club in no way gives to an athlete the
right to be transferred. The ques-
ton was, however, submitted to the
president of the Amateur Athletic
Union and the chairman of the legisla-
ton committee and the following is
their decision:
If. prior to November 20, 1911, a
registered athlete has presented to
the local resignation committee an
application for transfer. accompanied
by the consent OF the club which he
formerly represented, and action OF
said application was deferred for any
: reason, the local registration commit
tee would have power to grant the
transfer "as of November 10. 1911,
. If such application transfer was pre-
sented to the local registration COM
mittee. not accompanied by the con-
sent of the club which the athlete
formerly represented, the local regis
, iration committee would have had nc
power to grant the transfer unless
such other club had disbanded ol
practically ceased to exist.
, An athlete who is expelled from Z
club certainly can have no greater
right to represent another club ii
competition than he would have If h'
voluntarily withdrew from the frs
Club, so long as the first club con
