MahIe Appeals for swImmers

AS chairman of the swimming COM
mittee of the Metropolitan Associa.-
ton of the Amateur Athletic Union,
Otto Wahle appealed yesterday to
the South Atlantic Association for a
reconsideration of their action in sus-
pending the swimmers of the New
York Athletic Club for six months
for competing against the unregis-
tered Annapolis midshipmen last Sat
urday. Mr.. Wahle, in letter to the
southern officials, said that, while he
recognized their authority to punish
the offenders, the case, in his opin-
ion, did not demand such a severe
penalty. Mr.. Wahle argued that sim
liar attractions of the Amateur Ath-
letic Unions rules had not been
treated as severely by the same Off
Gals; that the majority of the New
York Athletic Club squad were not
aware of the illegality of their COM
petition with the navy swimmers, and
that, in consequence, they were de-
serving of leniency, and that the
action of the officials would cause the
few swimming clubs in this city to
lost interest in a sport that needs
every encouragement.

have added one more star sprinter to
our string of European riders who
will compete at the VelodroTne the
coming season Cesare Moretti, the
famous Italian sprinter, was signed
by me yesterday, and he Will race in
America during June and July.
Moretti is, in my opinion, the clas-
siest of the Italian riders, and will be
big winner in the States. Last
year he finished second to- Walter
Rutt in the Grand Prize of Paris and
won the Grand Prize of Buffalo, In
the latter race he defeated Hourlier,
Friol, Dupre and Ellegaard. He also
won many other big races in Europe
last season and has been a star for
three seasons.
Moretti is giant in stature and
beahtifully-built athlete. He is
twenty-e eight years old, weighs $50
pounds and is about six feet tall. The
Italian makes a fine appearance on
the track and he is a gamester of the
type of his countryman, francesca

Moretti's best season. He is one of
the few riders who have defeated
Walter Rutt, which is his best recon-
