MAY SUSPEND OFFICIAL

That the officials of the Amateur
Athletic Union will not tolerate mixed
athletic meetings between men and
women Is shown by the following
letter mailed by James p. Sullivan,
the secretary of the Amateur Athletic

man of the national registration COM
mittee, to e. C. Brennan, of the

day:
Mr.. r. C. Brennan, American Life
Saving Society. Tribune Building,
New York city:
Dear Sir-I notice in the papers of
this morning that you are conducting
schoolboy races in connection with
women's events. I understand what
your excuse is and you are hiding
behind the fact that these are school
boys.
OF course, you know the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States
does not permit women or girls to be
registered in any of its associations,
and does not sanction open races Tor
women in connection with A. A. U.
events. You have gone a bit further,
and you have done what you should
not have done as a member of the
A. A. U. You have given schoolboy
races with open races for women In
the same tank on the same day; abso-
lutely something that should not have
been done.
The Board of Education and the
Public School Athletic League are
very pronounced in relation to open
competition for girls in athletics.
They have no desire to make the
girls public characters.
If you desire to continue your men,
bership in the A. A. U. you had bet
ter play the amateur game straight
and true, day in and day out. I can
assure you any of the boys that rep
reesnt the p. S. A. L. in any mixed
meeting you have announced for the
future will be prohibited thereafter
from taking part in scholastic events

VISITING RUSSIANS
STRONG FOR BASEBALL

NEW YORK, July 12.-The sixty
visiting Russian teachers, who lately
arrived here. have taken up eagerly
the study of American baseball AS
guests of the Merchants Association
they witnessed the Chicago-New
York game yesterday, after having
sat up late the night before to hear
their interpreter lecture on the fine
points of the great American pastime.
The interpreter, Boris Marachess,
sat in the midst of the party at the
Polo Grounds, and in addition to
keeping a careful box score in Eng
fish, as he Is a thorough baseball en-
thusiast, he explained the plays. His
countrymen and countrywomen
seemed to enjoy the game immensely.
One young woman was eager to
know why the players chatter" all
the time, putting the question as she
pointed to a New Yorker who was
doing vociferous coaching on the side
lines.
Another woman teacher, seeing one
of the players run back to second,
when the ball beat him to third,
wanted to know If 1t was not con-
sidered disgraceful for man to re-
treat from his goal and fall short of
his ideal in the sight of ALL
look at that sly fellow" ex-
claimed one sharp-eyed girl when
Doyle stole third. Then she spoiled
1t all by asking: what means the
Strikes have two and the Balls have
one? I thought they were the New
Yorks and the Chicagos?"

BARGER DISCREDITS REPORTS BY HIS
EXCELLENT PITCHING AT PROVIDENCE

The work of Cy Barger for the
Newark International League Club
on the slab at Providence yesterday
discredits the reports sent out by
Providence scribes about the misbe
havior of some of the Bengal play
ers, including Barger. 1t was ru-
mored that Barger and Bell had been
suspended Cy, however, went the
full route and never pitched better
ball He kept the Grays away from
the plate for seven innings and held
them to one hit for two thirds of the
distance.
The report about Aitehison and
Myers is denied by club officials,
Myers is teetotaler and his alb
sence from the game at the Monu-
mental City recently was due to the
heat. Aitchison was overcome, as
was Swacina, during the Bengals'
visit. Aitchison's behavior this sea-
son has been above reproach, and
the fact that he is the leagues best
pitcher speaks for itself
No ball player could dissipate and
twirl so successfully as has Aitchi-
son. Those who thought the pennant
lost because the Tigers dropped two
games in row and believed the ex-
aggerated accounts from the mag

WILL MAKE THINGS
HUM, SAYS R|TCH|E
Champion Declares He'll Keep
on Job and Meet All
Corners.
FREDDIE WELSH NEXT

If Champion Willie Richie adheres
to a program he has announced there
will be plenty OF activity in the
lightweight division during the next
six months. Richie proposes to be a
fighting champion, and theatrical en-
gagements will be placed in the back
ground in order that he may be in a
position to defend his title against all
challengers.
II am going to do some fighting this
winter that will surprise the gang"
remarked Richie, according TO n dis
patch from San Francisco, after ex-
pressing a desire to box Freddie
Welsh right away. Make hay while
the sun Shines" the champion de-
clared, land get the money while it is
hot and while you have the punch to
get 1t. You can't be champion all
your life. I believe in wearing out
rather than rustling out, like a lot of
fighters have. Rest is all right for a
time, but what's the use of resting
tWo-thirds OF your time?
'"The only rest I expect to take Is
when go South with the pictures.
When they have the pictures on at
Los Angeles and San Diego l may go
along and put in little time there,
but 1t won't amount to much"
"Ritchie was asked whether he
wanted to box Cross and Murphy ten
rounds each in New York in August
Boxing ten rounds is easy money"
chatted the champion, but / don't
think much of going back there when
1t is so hot. Rather wait a couple of
months. That hot weather, you
know, gets US Californians."
A telegram that Richie did answer,
the dispatch says, came from Van
couver to fight Freddie Welsh. The
promoter wired that he would give
Willie so per cent. of the house and
so per cent. of the pictures. which
could be exhibited all over Canada,
for his end. Willie sent back mes
sage calling for the promoters high
est guarantee. Fighting on percent
age in a city the size OF Vancouver
didn't strike his fancy.

International League Doings

Seven full games to the good.
Now, if the Bengals win again to-
day and the Hustlers lose two to the
Bisons, why-"we should worry"
Is Cy Barger in poor shape? Not
by the looks of the box score. Cy
held the Grays to six hits.
Reisigl is no more a puzzle to the
Tigers. Eleven hits were secured
from his delivery yesterday.
Billy Zimmerman led the Bengals
in batting with three safe drives.
Eddie Zimmerman, Gus GetZ and
Harry Swacina were there with two
apiece, while Eddie Gagnier and Lew
McCarty collected the other two.
That was surely a slug fest down
in Baltimore between the Orioles and
the Shelters. Thirty hits were made,
fifteen for each.
Billy Purtell led the Pests in the
batting column with four hits, one
of which was good for a double.
Harry Smith, the Bengal leader,
saw the Dodgers lose their ninth
straight games, yesterday, 10 the
Reds.
Harry Swscina says he made the
longest drive ever poled off Bill
Bailey. the Grays southpaw. "Swats"
says his wallop knocked down fence
and let ten thousand people into the
park to see the game.

New York regained its stride, Brook

slump yesterday, and Boston, after a
brief squirt, was checked by st. Louis.
The Cubs had the satifaction of stop

Thursday, but the Giants evened
things by handing Everss men a ter
rife walloping yesterday. The score
