LOOMS WARNED TO
AVOID PHONE GAMES
Stays Out, but Local A thletes,
With No Word From A. a.
t., Go Ahead and Run.
MEET Is NOT SANCTIONED

The \. \. L. lnterfered and prevent, d
Joe Loomls, the Chicago athletic wonder,
frcm giving another exhibition Of his
sprinting ability at the indoor games OF
the Telephone club held in the Seventy
first Regiment Armory last night. Tue
Triple champion. who is an employee Of
the telephone company in Chicago, was
introduced to the crowd, which filled every
seat in the armory and monopolized every
foot OF standing ROOM
Even had the champion not received a
friendly warning from the powers that pc
to keep out Of the meet he would have
been handicapped in the 300 Yard spe-
cial. for which he was entered. As re-
suit Of fall in the preliminary skirmIsh
over the hurdles In Madison Square Cav
den ON Thursday night his leg was bruised
and an injury to his toe neces sitated the
removal Of the nail and the taking OF sew
eral stitches to close up a bad cut.
The warning given to LOOMS by Chair
man j. W. Stumpf Of the registration, COM
mitiec to the effect that he might get in
trouble II he competed. as the games were
not sanctioned by the =. \. L., seems TO
Indicate that at least three prominent
local performers have plunged into the pit
from which the Westerner narrowly es-
capped. Except for one event open only TO
members OF the Telephone Club, the events
were for employees of the telephone COM
pany. That constitutes an open meet and
the games should have been sanctioned
by the registration committee.
Among the competitors were w. j.
Fisher the Irish American \. G. middle
distance runner: l.. l.. Zines OF the
Bronx Church House, one OF the best
standing jumpers in the country. and
Frank Ruggiero. long distance man OF
the same club. Under the conditions
of the meet LOOMS was as much entitled
To compete as these cracks and. the
chances are they will have to reckon with
the committee FOR thc breach OF the rules
There was no member of the registra ion
committee at the games and so far as
could be learned the local men mad not
received the warning vouchsafed to the
visiting athlete.
Fisher was very busy man and car
ried of the Individual point trophy, with
3 points, winning the 220 yard, 800 yard
and taking second in the 20 yard events
Ruggicro won the two miles and Zines
took fourth place in the running high
jump IN spite OF the fact that he had
run half mile race previous to the event
and took his trials standing instead OF
running. The summaries:
