Twenty Athletes Of Washington Suspended From the Amateur
Union for Periods Ranging From Two Months
... To One Year.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Twenty athletes Of various clubs in
the District and Baltimore are today
cooling their heels outside the Amateur
Athletic Union Fold. wondering just
what they are to do during the time
between now and the lifting Of the A.
No meeting Of the board Of managers
Of the South Atlantic division of the
Amateur Athletic Union ever made such
a sweeping and wholesale action in
night at the Carroll Institute placed
twenty men on the blacklist with those
who were suspended some six weeks
ago.
AT the present time forty athletes Of
the District are without the bounds OF
some action taken by the Memorial
Athletic Club and the allied association
OF the District Federation shall ameiio-
rate conditions.
SUSPENSIONS for from two months to
one year were meted out by the board
of managers at the Carroll Institute last
night upon twenty athletes. Stecker
and Mahoney, Of the Washington A.
A.. drew year suspensions. Boss.
Cross, Linden. and Jenkins. Of the
for six months. Grace and Newton. Of
Memorial. drew a like term. while
Shishamian and Klugy. of the Atlas A.
c., were included on the list Of six
months probationers. Cash. Dreismon-
ston. Ouch. and Hays were also set
back six months.
Kohr and Morris drew two months.
while Mcneil and Rathbone got
months layofr. In addition to these
runners. Paxton and Hillery, Of the
Memorial A. c. were blacklisted for
year.
The registration committee is COM
posed of DR.. ]. p. Burdick. of Balti-
more; Joseph Rettaliata. Of Baltimore,
and John Meauy. of Washington.
The board of managers Is composed
Of the following: Latrooe Cogswell,
president Of the South Atlantic Branch;
Rettaliata, John Stowell. John Meany
and Clarence Dean.
At this time 1t Is intimated that more
District athletes will come under the
ban. and It Is expected that before
the registration committee and board
of managers gets through that there
will be but few men outside of the
athletes from colleges and high schools
here that are not under A. A. U. sus-
pension.
Opportunity was given all athletes to
state their cases last night at the
Carroll Institute, and those who availed
the nselves of the opportunity were
given the why's and wherefores Of the
actions taken. There appeared to be
the disposition on the part Of the board
to take cognizance of every plea en-
tered. and reasons were given in every
case where suspension had been in
fiicted.
1t became generally known that the
A. A. U. would deal in no light way
with future cases of athletes partici-
pating in unsanctioned meets. and the
committee appeared to have the cases
well in hand at all times

has agreed to give a definite answer
when the winner Of the Pardello- Calvin

The entry Of John Bolac, who last

for the race on April L. and expects to
do even better than last year.
Another entry received is that of Rob-
ert williams, the Washington A. A.

Washington.
Covert, Healy, Sullivan, Lynch, Gala
CHER, and Fisher are also entered from
the Carroll Institute, and will make a
strong bid for the team trophy. Other
athletes were expected from the Mem
tration committee Of the A. A u,
which met last night, failed to REIN
state the boys will somewhat mitigate
against Washington's chances In the
race on April L.
Seventeen in Line.
So far seventeen men have entered
from Washington, and while this Is less
than half of those expected. there is
every possibility that Washington will
land the individual prize with either
Bolac or Williams.
The Memorial A. C. has something
like twenty-five long-distance men under
the A. A, ban, and while these are
out on q six-months' suspension. there
IL no chance for them to get In the big

won the last Times-News Marathon
race held from Laurel to Washington
In 1911, has sent in his entry blank to
the Baltimore News with the assurance
that he was never In better shape tnan
he is at the present time.
Elphinstone Is one of the veterans
of the game in these parts, having been
connected in almost every distance race
held during the past three years. For
reasons best known to himself, Elphin-
stone has severed his connections with
the Baltimore club, and will run unat-
tached.
To Make Fifth Try.
His entry into the race this year will
mark his fifth try at the prize. Com
peting in every Tmes-News race since
the inception of the event as an annual
affair. Elphinstone has acquitted him
self well on each occasion. and now
makes a strong bid for the honors
again.
In the modified marathon of the Elm
wood A. C., in Baltimore On Monday
night, EIphinstone gave liberal handi-
caps to others and managed to win the
time prize from scratch. covering the
course over the streets in the best time
of any Of the others. Tonight. Elphin-
stone runs in Philadelphia and should
be in tip-top shape later on.
In the very first race Of The Times
News in 1903, Elphinstone was a promi-
nent bidder, for he finished in second
place In a sensational affair. Emory B.
Enzor, of the Washington Y. NJ. c. A.,
Oained undying local fame when he won
Mis- event from the Baltimore boy in 2
pours II minutes and 80 seconds. Elphy
finished in 2 hours Is minutes / second.
John Stecher, of Washington, was third,
Mitchell Griffith of Hopkins fourth. Har-
old Russell of Hopkins fifth, and John
Geigan, c. c. c., was sixth.
Elphinstone was also a factor in the
1910 race from Laurel to Baltimore, but
