registration committee deemed it best to
suspend the men for year.

The suspensions of Donaldson and Neil,
of the Y. NJ C. A., were lifted, as they
stated that Gordon Law, coach of the

CONNIE MACK HAS
SURPRISED PLAYER
During, Southpaw Recruit Cannot
Believe He Is with the
Athletics.

Burning, one of the young pitchers
Connie Mack has gathered for the Ath-
Ietics, is a surprised young man. Mod
esty is his trouble. and his modesty
got a shock-is getting shocked every
day when he thinks that he is still
lingering in fast company. After saz-
ing at Bender. Coombs. and Plank at
San Antonio, burning decided that he
was no major league pitcher. But he
still fingers among the headliners.
Just what Connie intends to do with
this long southpaw is a mystery. The
kid assembled from the sand lots OF
Louisville to the Athletics with one
swift lump. He is still with them. Not
only that, but Shibe told him to hunt
up a boarding house in Philadelphia
burning had no idea that he would
be retained by Connie after the club
reached Louisville, and he got 1t into
his head that he would be dropped on
the way North. When any of the players
made a remark about the way he work
ed on the mound he thought they were
kidding him and did not hesitate by
telling them of II. When Shlbe went
to him and told him to write >ahead
and get a boarding house, the rookie
came back with $50 you are trying TO
kid me, too" 1t was two or three days
before Shibe could convince burning
that it was on the level
Judging from that it seems that Mack
is counting on keeping Che kid and give
him a twirl to the batters in practice
at Shibe Park this summer. Mack may
figure that burning will pick up the fine
points of the game by sitting on the
bench. and then again he may place
him with some minor league club.

BY G. w. SWAN.

Twenty athletes were suspended last
night by the Registration Board of the
South Atlantic Branch of the A. A. u,
the suspension varying from one month
to one year, for participating in an I'M
sanctioned meet
Eighteen runners and two wrestlers
were placed on the black list at the
meeting held at the Carroll Institute. and
at least fifteen more will be suspended
within the next few days.
Johnny Stecher and Johnny Mahoney,
the Washington Athletic Association
stars who won the National Guard meet
for their club, were suspended for one
year. while twelve runners were put on
the other side of the wire for six months.
The real climax Of the meeting came
when v. w. CogswelI, president of the
board of managers of the South Allan
tic Branch, offered Coach Howard Foley,
of the Memorial club permission to re-
open the clubs case.
Some five weeks ago the Memorial
club was suspended by the A. A. o..
and that the A A. U. offered to give
Foley a chance to come back within
the fold speaks well for the local club
Foley Declines Offer.
Needless to say, Foley declined. say
ing, I'VE will never re-enter the A. A. U.
until Washington has a separate branch
think that 1t will not be long before
We have our own body. and then local
boys will have a chance. AS 1t is. the
Memorial club prefers to remain loyal
to the Federation, and will stick until
the ship either sinks or sails into port
with flying colors.'
Al
Only four Memorial men were sus-
pended last night, but the registration
committee will suspend at least ten
more Memorial men in the near future,
and eight other athletes, members of
local clubs.
Coach Foley, Of the Memorial Club, is
confident that the A. A. L. governing
board in New York will consider the
application Of the local body with favor,
and that before the present year is out.
Washington will have its own branch Of
the A. A. q.
The registration committee met at $50
clock, with v. w. Cogswell as the pre-
siding officer The first case to be tried
was that of Walter Rathbone, the for
mer Business High School star, and who
has been competing under the Blue and
Gray Of Georgetown University.
Rathbone stated that a local sporting
writer put him in bad by stating that
those competing in closed events in the
Guard meet would not be suspended.
The registration committee, in view Of
this fact, suspended Rathbone for one
month.
Wrestlcrs Suspended.
The two wrestlers, Paxon and Hillery,
were suspended for six moths, for COM
peting in the National Guard wrestling
tournament, an unsanctioned event. Six
more Memorial wrestlers will be sus-
pended in the near future for competing
in the same tourney.
Six months suspensions were meted out
to four members Of the Y. N. ". A., two
members Of the Memorial A. c., two
