DOC HULL IS
 OUSTED FROM
 \. A. U. BERTH ]

, a
 The Amateur Athletic Union yes terday removed Doc Hull as Com missioner of Athletics in New. Haven. The. A.sSA U. officials say they are displeased with the way Hull has been conducting amateur athletics in his district recently. Before disInis ing him they. asked for his resigna- ton, and when he refuses TO resign he was removed.
 Hull, it is charged, permitted a host of amateurs to compete in un- sanctioned meets in New Haven. Most of these meets were amateur boxing tournaments which A. A u. men say had not been sanctioned Following one Of the atournaments the Registra- ton Committee suspended all those who competed. Yesterday 1t was an 'nounced that all of these boys will be reinstated as soon as. they apply.
 Hull has frequently acted as bas- ketbaI1 referee in this city and is well known here.

Cold Snap Gives Crackers a Rest
Saturdays Game Is Called Off

RUDE is a bridgebuilder by winter

shape, except for the slight culinary
shortcoming mentioned above.
SPEAKING OF RUDE recalls a strange

a solution Of the mystery would pre-
sent itself. Not having interviewed
the parties concerned, the mystery
still obtains.
This is it.
In the second inning, domestic sec
ton, Flanagan led off with a base
on balls, after which, Eible famed
and Lynch scratched a single, on
which the Steamer pulled up at sec
ond. Joe Dunn helted a perfectly
good line drive into left-center, but
something slipped right there.
Flanagan started up toward third as

he had forgotten something. BY that
time, Memo Liehold had the pill and
Lynch was dancing and shrieking on
the8Steamer except third, so he put
in there, while the Maps We're too
surprised 20 do anything about it..
The reason RUDE recalls the Incl
dent is because he was coaching at
third, and we have not the least idea
that he turned Flanagan back on any
such wallop as that of Dunns, Our
own bunch so far is that some crafty
Nap infielder made a noise at Elan

Harry evidently is in good shape.
He has been working out regularly
with Clark Griffth's squad, and re-
turns to the Crackers with regrets
from the old Fox that he has no va

the promise that he will be needed
in Washington next season.
Harry unquestionably will be well

Freddie Welsh is more than a
clever boxer; he is the clever

The latest publicity stunt OF the
British boxer was to send neatly
worded eabiegram to King George V
of England. who, as we crude folks
understand the situation, Is something
of Ban Johnson sort of person over

And, what's more, King George
takes his pen in hand and fires back
with an answer. The cable probably
cost the King a couple Of bucks. It's
worth a thousand or so to Frederick
in the matter of grabbing off column
space to his personal use.
Seated in his training camp less
than an hour after he had jabbed Joe
Rivers into the second division, Welsh
saw in a local paper a news cable to
the effect that George was all puffe1
up with enthusias SIM over boxing and
had put the seal of royal approval on

leave second. neither by reason Of
the batter having become a base
runner nor for any other cause. Not
only did the batter not become a
haserunner-the fly he hit having
been caught-but even had he be-
come a runner there was no runner
on first base at the lime. and so the
runner on second would still not
have been forced off In other
words, he never had lost his right
to second base had he chosen to
stay there, and he was not obliged
TO advance.
| might say, however, that one
of the Alumni players stated that
the contrary ruling was made once
in a professional game I'm which he
participated. and he was very sure
of his ground for the reason that
he. the player, admitted that he was
the runner and lost the game on
the strength Of the umpire's deci-
sion that way.
HOW such ruling could have
been made I'm the face of the plain
English of the rule is beyond me.

the runner on second started for
