ATHLETIC HOUSE CLEANING
Suggestion That More Is Need
e1 in a Little Rider"

Final action was taken yesterday in the
charges against the Tipperary Mems AS
ISOLATION by the registration committee
Of the Metropolitan Association OF the
Amateur Athletic Union, in the follow
ing statement:
Tn reviewing the testimony of the
protest againct William Powers, Of the
Irish American A. c., who had charge
OF the entries and the purchasing OF
prizes OF the Tipperary Mems games the
committee finds that Powers secured en-
tries by Offering valuable prizes in the
form of bags or suit cases; that he
awarded prizes other than stated IN his
letter TO the committee; that he turned
over TO a third party letters for the
chairman of the registration committee,
that requested an answer, and that his
testimony shows many false statements.
THE committee decided that William
Powers violated the rules OF the Amateur
Athletic Union and cancelled his card,
that the Tipperary Mems Association be
refused further SANCTION for athletic
meetings in the future
THE committee would like to call at
tention TO the fact that while there Is
not enough evidence to warrant the be-
lief, still the members feel that several
OF the so-called star athletes did not
compete merely for the poor prizes
awarded"
