MiddIe Atlantic Branch Takes
No Official Action, as Be.
ports Indicated They Might.
MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE
TO COMPETE IN MEET
mel" Sheppard's Name Is Also
Mentioned at Meeting Of
Registration Committee.

Georgetown University Athletic Asso-
citation is today awaiting some official
word from the Middle Atlantic branch
Of the Amateur Athletic Union in re-
6ord to the alleged question of Johnny
Gallsgher's right to enter athletics al
the Hilltop. Reports emanating from
Philadelphia state that the registration
committee of the Middle Atlantic
branch have Gallagher's name on a
list of athletes whose past record viii
be investigated.
At Georgetown no fear is felt for the
outcome of such an investigation, should
one be made. According to the dis
patches, Gallagher made sudden jumr
. from Yale. where he made such an en-
viable record in the freshmen cross
country, and 2-mile events. to George.
town. The dispatch intimated that per-
maps Gallagher received some induce
ments to matriculate at the Hilltop in
sttution. Gallagher is a student of the
Georgetown Law School
The case of Thorpe" said George z.
sutton. member of the Philadelphia
registration committee. has opened up
a large subject 1t Is now the duty of
The A. A. u. TO divide the amateurs
from the professionals, and the only way
10 DO Ii Is to have complaints lodged
against amateurs who have accepted
money owing to their prominence in
amateur athletics We are seeking
such complaints, and are ready to go
10 the bottom Of every one of them
Some amateurs have a mistaken idea
that they may sell their names to news
papers and still remain amateurs. We
have under consideration now the case
OF Philadelphian who represented
America at the Olympic Upon his re-
turn. We are Informed that he sold his
name TO a certain newspaper SO that
some articles descriptive of the Qlympics
might be written and his name signed to
the articles So greedy was he that he
refused to grant an interview TO the re-
porter of the paper, declaring openly
that he proposed TO make money out Of
his trip to Stockholm"
During the conversation the name OF
.'Mef' Sheppard, one of the greatest men
that ever put on a racing shoe, was
mentioned. -
I'VE have investigated probably 100
complaints regarding Sheppard" said
Mr. Sutton but the people making them
never could substantiate their state
ments. For this reason, Sheppard still
is an amateur.

MAY GIVE
FINAL EXHIBITION
Johns Hopkins Indoor Meet May
See CarIisIe's Famous Star
for Last Time.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 5.-That
there is just a chance that the Bal
timore public may have chance to
see Chief Jim Thorpe. the worlds
greatest athlete, recently disqualified
after taking the lions share of honors
at the Olympic games last year. once
more exhibit his prowess in running,
jumping and putting the shot at the
Johns Hopkins-Fifth Regiment games
on February Is, become rumored in
this city yesterday. 1t is likely the
games committee of the two organiza-
tions will take up the matter tomorrow
night at its business meeting.
While it will be impossible for
Thorpe to ever compete In track and
field games as an amateur again, and
he is therefore barred from contest
ing in the coming games against other
amateur athletes by the rule of the
Amateur Athletic Union. II is thought
in some quarters that there may be a
chance to have Thorpe give an eX-
hibition as a professional for the last
time before he joins the New York
Giants and enters the field Of base
ball as a mighty star. The idea Is
that such an exhibition might be Civ
en- after the regular games are over,
SO as not to offend the dignity of the
Amateur Athletic Union, tealously
guarding amateur ranks.
1t has already been announced that
Thorpe may also be asked to be an Of
fcial at the coming games, so In case
the plan falls as far as Thorpe per-
formining is concerned, she Baltimore
public, and especially the baseball fol-
lowing, may have chance to see the
redskin who was crowned by the King
of sweden as the greatest athlete on
earth. Any appearance of Thorpe in
this city would be a big drawing card.

Nationals Exception
In Losing. Ball Game:

In nine years no American League
team has won 60 per cent Of its games
in the aggregate.
Philadelphia has come nearest to 1t
with a grand average of .5S9. Con-
versely, only one team has failed to
win at least 10 per cent of its games
covering that interval. Washington Is
the exception, and the Senators have
won over 30 per cent of their combats

Five teams have won more than half
their games in nine seasons and a sixth
team-New York-has a grand average
of .4S7 for the period. Next to Phila-

To Be Taken Up Today

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The most i'm
portant question to be settled at the

SION today is whether the rule provid-
ing for the assignment of referees to
the various clubs without their ap-
prevail should be allowed to stand.
Twenty-Five referees are to be ap-
pointed.
In view Of the opposition from several
clubs, it is likely that they will be al
lowed to select their own referees. sub

future. Inquiry will be made at this
