NEW A.. A. Y. COMMITTEE

There Is trouble IN store for Roy
Morse, the national champion at 22o
yards. who. according to report, went
across the border and competed In the
Toronto exhibition games last Saturday
without receiving the permit required
by the A. A. l.. rules. Morse was
chronicled as winning the 100 and 22o
yard races at the Canadian meet n
Frederick W. Ruben Immediately be-
gan an investigation OF the circum'
stances under which he went TO an
other COUNTRY without the necessary
permit. Several other athletes travelled
to the exposition games. but all except
Morse were provided with permits.
Ruben has written to Norton II.
Crow. secretary OF the Canadian A. a.
who mad permits 20 compete He also
has written to Morse to know why he
made the trip and competed without a
permit. 1t is just possible that a per-
NIT may have been granted to MORSE
by the Buffalo Commissioners of the A.
A.. L.. but in default of that It appears
az though the crack colored sprinter
is in for a period of suspension.
Local athletes are discussing the
probable make up OF the next registra-
tion committee which will he elected AZ
the annual meeting OF the Metropolitan
Association of the A.. a. L. next Non
day. That the real governing body Of
the sport will be greatly changed Is
sure. as 1t is understood that Chairman
y. w. Stumpf. John NJ. Connolly and
John j. Deignan will not seek reelec-
ton. This will leave only c. A. Elbert
of the Anchor \. c.. Jersey City, and
George T. Mathews as the members OF
tn" old committee who are willing TO
serve on the new. The names Of IAN
didates mentioned are Harold Dibblee
of the S~eventy-irst Regiment =. J.
Walsh. New York A. c.. and j. r.
O'Hara, Caldwell Field Club. y. J.
Secretary Andrew F. Tully Of the
Metropolitan Association explained that
many Of the clubs which had not paid
their dues In time 20 vote at the annual
meeting had no idea OF dropping out
OF the A. A. T., but had not sent in
the dues because the club officials were
out OF town or were waiting for n
meeting authorizing the payments. The
Larchmont Yacht 1t has resigned its
membership on the ground hat there
Is not sufficient activity in A. A. T..
sports at Larchmont to make It worth
while remaining a member. Other clubs
that have resigned are h Bohemian
American Workinmen's Gymnastic As
ISOLATION. Yonkers Catholic A. L. and
Y. VI. G. L., College Point.
There are 1855 clubs in the a~ssocia-
ton and ll6 have paid dues, though
three sent in the money too late to
allow them the privilege of voting at
the annual meeting. Columbia rniver-
sity \. a. is one OF the clubs which have
failed to pay dues. but that IL because
there Is no n here m authority 10 do
so. There are many similar cases among
the following d~elinquents:
