SULLlvAN'S QUESTION
ON WOMEN ATHLETES
ANSWERED BY COAST

SAN FRANCISCO. March 5.-sec-
rotary James E. Sullivan, of the
Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States. wants to know why
women are permitted to compete in
Pacific Association swimming meets.
Has this been going on long on
the coast, and what is the idea OF
it?' Sullivan inquiries in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Chairman George
James of the Pacific Association
Registration Committee The A. A.
u, he writes, refuses to recognize
women athletes. and as no one can
take part in an A. A. U. meet unless
registered. he asks an explanation
concerning the women swimmers.
James, in his reply to Sullivan,
counters with the question as to why
women are recognized as amateurs
in the International Olympic games,
naming several famous girl swim
mers who competed at Stockholm last
summer.
He explains that the local contest
about which Sullivan is concerned
was merely an exhibition race.
Women, swimming races are by nc
means new on the Pacific coast,
though they never have been on
ciallv sanctioned by the local branch
| of the A. A. U.
