HALPIN SATISFIED HE
HAS WON HIS POINT
With Swimmers Reinstated, 1t
Seems Likely N. Y. A. c. Will
Make Peace With A. A. U.
DORGAN REBUKES RUBERL

One investigation was begun yeSter-
day and another will be started in good
time to get at the bottom OF the trouble
over the entries OF the New York A. C.
swimmers in the sportsmens Show events
In Madison Square Garden. SO far as
tho inquiry yesterday is concerned, IL
will be OF little heneit to outsiders. II
was conducted by the athletic COMMITTEES
OF the New York A. G. and was quite
family affair. All the evidence was sup
piled by Otto wahle and Charles Ruberl.
members OF the club. and no details were
given out of the strange proceedings
which led TO the trouble with the A. A. u.
: The other Investigation will be made
by the registration committee Of the
Metropolitan Association OF the A. A. u.
but Il was some time before j. w. Stumpf,
chairman OF the COMMITTEES, would admit
that the circumstances called for an in
quiry and that one would be held. When
at last II dawned upon him that he had
been hoodwinked into believing that
entries were valid and IN good standing
on Monday night and that two days later he
had been convinced that these Same entries
we're not valid. he decided that hts COM
mittee would make an inquiry into the
management of the swimming events at the
show. He and John NJ. Connolly agreed
that there would be no time TO look into
the matter before the meeting I'm the
Garden ends tomorrow night. but that
eventually the causes OF the disturbance
with the New York A. G. would be
threshed out and the blame placed where
Il belongs
Just who will be the goat Is not clear,
but John l.. Dorgan. manager of the
Sportsmen's Show. still insists that so far
"a he Is concerned he considers the en-
ri anN H.. n
that Charles Ruberl. the New York A. c.
member who agreed to cancel them, had
no right 10 do no and consequently no
right TO send the letter to acting Captain
Corbett of the New York \. c. rejecting
them.
The suppression OF this letter until
after the men were suspended IL one of
the mysteries OF the case. Halpin says
that the first he knew Of tho existence
of the letter was when his committee met
on Wednesday night. He explained this
by saying that Corbett had read It hastily
and did not attach any Significance to Il.
The N. Y. a. c. athletic chairman also
called attention TO the fact that the man
who made the culls from the original
list OF entries must have been we'll versed
in aquatics, for the best men were re-
tanned In the half dozen who sub
sequently became suspended
At the meeting OF the ". Y. A. c. ath-
letic committee no action was taken on
abe resolution passed the previous night
recommending that the club resign from
the A. A. u. This will go before the
board of governors as originally passed
on next Tuesday night. The chairman
did not appear nearly so bitter as in the
earlier stages OF the controversy. Speak
ing for himself he said that tho action
OF the registration committee In REIN
stating the members OF his club was salts
factory, and that he had gained all that
he sought when that was done.
Ruberl and wahle were officiating last
night in the events at the Garden. It
was said that most OF the questions put
10 them at tho meeting OF the athletic
| committee were of technical character,
| That the New York A. c. will be willing
10 let the matter drop. now that the club
men are back in the fold, Ia believed
probable. Most OF the trouble has been
made by n. Y A. G. men, but whether
| they are in reach OF A. A. ". dis
| cipllDe is uncertain. Ruberl, the ready
| letter writer II was admitted last night,
will receive pay for his services In con-
| nection with the meet
