BOUGHTON LOSES HIS
CASE BEFORE A. A. U.
Committee Denies Registration
Application Because Youth
Acted as Play Leader.

Charles Boughton, the Newark High
School boy who holds the two mile in.
terscholastic record, was put outside the
pale OF amateur athletics yesterday by
the decision of the registration commit.
tee OF tho Metropolitan Association. rhe
committee rejected his application for
registration on the ground that the posi-.
ton he held during the summer Of 1914
as play leader In the Essex county play
ground makes him Ineligible for regis.
tration in the A. A. u.
Boughton still has the right Of appeal
to the board of managers of the Metro.
politan Association, but there is little
chance OF the board upsetting the verdict
Of the committee. In due time II Ia
thought that II Boughton applies to the
national registration committee Of .he
a. A. u. for reinstatement he may be re-
admitted TO the amateur ranks
II appears from the testimony that
Boughton first applied for "A position In
which he would have TO run plough
during the summer months and that
when no such position was open he ac-
cepted the job of playground leader at
salary of $50 a month. ~ the time
he had no idea that he was transgress-
Ing the amateur laws and his applica.
ton 10 the national committee could he
based on Ignorance Of the rules.

MYSTERY OF DELAY
IN SALE Is SOLVED
Last Mortgage on New YOrks
Causes Club to Make 1t
Known in Court.
HUNTED HIGH AND Low

one Of the causes for the delay in con-
American League Club by Frank J. Far
rell and his associates to Col Jacob
Rupert and Capt. 7. l.. Huston was the
mysterious disappearance of a $4,000
mortgage ON the franchise OF the club
and the lease Of the grounds formerly
occupied on Washington Heights. This
became known yesterday through an APP
plication filed in the Supreme Court by
the Greater New York Baseball Club.
The application. made TO Supreme
Court Justice Page. was for a mandamus
against Register John j Hopper to
compel him TO mark the mortgage can
celled " record without the production
Of the mortgage itself Such applications
are granted as a matter OF form when
good reason for failure to produce the
mortgage is shown, but until the mort
gage is recorded as cancelled 1t stands
as u lien on the property covered by the
mortgage.
The petition stated that in 1903 the
club was the owner OF a lease for ten
years on the Washington Heights
grounds, owned by the New York Inst-
tute for the Blind. which was sold to the
club by James Il. McNally. and was also
the owner OF franchise I'm the Ameri-
can League. ON March 10. 1903. the
mortgage on the lease and franchise,
together with all players CONTRACTS. was
delivered to Carlisle j. Gleason of Eilius,
Gleason 4 Proskauer. attorneys for the
club. as trustees under the mortgage,
which was given to secure a bond issue
Of $4,000.
The mortgage was recorded on April
Z. 1903. and was then returno1 to the
clubs attorneys. Frank ]. Farrell made
affidavit that he had personal charge
OF the transaction and that he has seen
nothing Of the mortgage since II was
executed. slthouGh he searched at his
residence. S95 West End avenue. and
a. his office. 80 East Forty-second
street He also caused a search to be
made by all the officers agents and at
torneys OF the club among all papers
and securities In whatever places they
were kept, but no trace was found OF
the mortgage. MIR. Farrell said he was
not accustomed to keep documents OF
value anywhere but in the clubs safe.
hut the safe and all desks in the office
were searched WITHOUT result.
The petition stated that the bonds for
which the mortgage was issued were
paid in 1912 and the mortgage was then
cancelled, and that unless the court
orders satisfaction piece filed now
without the production OF the mortgage
IL will materially damage the club"
The petition stated that Farrell thought.
Lawyer Gleason had the mortgage and
the latter thought Farrell had it. No
clue is disclosed as to what became of
