~ from New York gives the infor-
nation that number of affida-
Wits have been filed accusing Platt Ad-

9ouotedly the only socaIled amateur ath-

laken money or who is, in reality a
professional. Yes he is-not.
Gntll few years ago the New York
annette club harbored most of the
prominent athletes in the country.
some time about 1900 a clique, which
was in reality the Tammany Hall
crowd, decided to organize an athletic
PUB IN opposition to the n. Y. A. c.
I was then that the Irish American

Ter the world has ever produced, made
public confession of having received
money on numerous occasions. This
money, he stated, was received mostly
in enormous expense accounts In his
confession Duffy named any number OF
athletes, some of them still active in
athletics, whom he accused of having
done exactly as he had. What was
done about it? Duffy was kicked out
Of the Amateur Athletic union and the
records which he had made were ex-
plunged from the books. Was there

Duffy had made against other men?
