SUSTAINS UMPIRE.
President Johnson Upholds Official
 Who Ruled Against Boston.

Chicago, June 9.-Presidents B. B.. Johnson of the American league has sustained decision of Umpire Chill in the Boston-Cleveland game last Saturday which, 1t was said, today, es- tablished precedent for plays in which an umpire interferes with a base runner. The decision of Chill against which Boston protested was that the runner return to his base occurred in major league baseball and is not covered by the rules.
 Turner, after making a hit, round ed first, and collided with Chill twice He then stopped and walked to sec ond base, where he was touched by the Boston second baseman He was called out at first by the umpire but after conference with Umpire Dineen the decision was reversed and Tur- ner was allowed to return to first base. The decision has received the sanction of President Johnson and Boston's protest was disallowed.
 President Johnson also dismissed a Wilmington protest against a home run decision at Detroit on Sunday Which was covered by ground rules. The official decision allowed a home run on ball which struck in the field and bounded over the ropes into the bleachers.

TED JOINS N. Y. A. (.
Contrary to Expectations, Ted Will Not Represent Irish American Club; Action Causes Some Surprise.

New York, June 9.-It. developed yesterday that Ted Meredith had joined the New York A. c. He will not be able to wear the Mercury Foot in competition until next October.
 Merediths going to the New York A. c. is somewhat surprising, in view of his having represented the Irish American A. c. last summer, and his friendship for Lawson Robertson. With Robbie helping coach the Penn sylvania athletes, it was thought that Meredith would again compete for the Winged Fist organization.
 With Meredith will come his young CT brother, Bob, from Mercersburg academy, who is also quite a quarter miller. The younger Meredith also ran for the Irish-American A. c. last summer.
 Paul Pilgrim is gathering formid- able aggregation of athletes for the New York A. c. summer campaign. He will hardly have all of them in dine for the junior metropolitan championships at New Brunswick week from tomorrow, but he will have enough on the job to make a New York A. c. victory almost a cer- tainty. Fred Murray, the Leland Stanford hurler, and possibly his teammate Norton will wear the Mer- cury Foot this summer.
 Paul Pilgrim has recruited a large number of high school and prep stu dents to represent the Mercury Foot organization in the junior metropoli- tan track and field championships. The New York A. c. entry list in- cludes the names of thirty men, the largest number that will represent any one club.
 Of the thirty athletes who will com pete for the Fifty ninth street club, the majority will be high school boys. The Irish-Ameri A. c. is second in so far as the number of entries are concerned with twenty. Many of the Winged Fist athletes also have been drawn from the high schools.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June D. Charles E.. Courtney, veteran coach of the Cornell crews, is serving his last year as director Of the Cornell navy, and at the end of the present rowing season he will retire from active participation in the coaching of rowing at Cornell. This startling announcement from the sage of the Hudson expected by Cornell men ever since last spring, when he suffered a fractured skull, came upon the row. ing colony with such suddenness that it was the sensation of the day. Not once since he was removed from the Cornell quarters at the Oakes on race day last year and rushed to the Ithaca General hospital has Court ney been unattended by a physician

THIRD MAN TO GET LETTER,
All Yale Point Winners in Harvard
 Meets to Receive the "Y".

New Haven, June 9.-The decision Of the Yale University Athletic asso- clatlon on the disputed point of award Ing the Varsity letter to athletes who win third places in the Yale Harvard track meet is in the affirmative. The resolution just passed by the associa- uon Is to the effect that all men who win one or more points in the dual meets With the Cambridge team, be- glnn1ng with the games held May 13, shall receive the award of the "Y' In the past only the winners of first or second place have been thus hon. ored.
 The change affects the following men: H. Berg, 1917 s.; J. l.. Davis, 1917; J. G. Putnam, 1916; J. J. Of futt,4 1917; c. c. Clifford, 1917 s.; G. E. Nichols 1917; H. Schmidt, 1918, and J. P. Walden, 1916 S. Two of these men have since won their "Y'' at the intercollegiate meet on May 27 and Putnam.

COURTNEY THROUGH SUNDAY.
Physician Orders Famous Coach to
 Relinguish Duties With Cornell Crew.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June g. Charles E. Courtney upon physician's orders, probably will leave the Cor nell crews quarters at the Oakes, On Sunday for his home in Ithaca
 After a long consultation with Dr. Lewis H Marks, a nerve specialist of this city, yesterday, Courtney de- cided, so it was said last night, to make his retirement, announced ts~ take place with the passing into his tory of the 1916 race, effective at once. He did not go down to the boathouse in the afternoon, and the crews went out under the direction If John Hoyle, assistant coach. as thvy have at all times save one since they have been here.
 No more profound sensation has been created in the rowing colony on the Hudson than that caused by the announcement of Courtney's sudden decision to leave the scene of his many triumphs even before the big race, which comes June IT. While his crews were on the river for their morning spin, Courtney, accompanied by a friend, crossed the river 10 Poughkeepsie and went immediately to the office of Dr. Marks
 For more than half an hour he was examined by the specialist, and then he had a long consultation with hims The gist of pr. Marks advice was that the veteran coach should quit immediately Realizing that the only way to make Courtney give up coach ing at such a time as this Dr. Marks ordered him to return home

ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEETS.

The New Britain High School Ath- letic council, will probably meet next Tuesday evening for the final session of the season. It is likely that man. agers and assistants of the various branches of sports will be selected. Those in line for places are John Bachulus, Merwin Peterson, Morris Lockwood, Edward Bassett and Sid- ney Dixon. These students have acted as assistant manager during the past term, and according to the sys- tenn in vogue in the past. are in line for promotion Herbert Corwen, who was also an assistant manager win leave school at the end of the term. The matter of securing perm <lent grounds for athletics will be discuss ed but no definite action is expected.

STUFFY MAY JOIN
 RED SOX SOON
American LeaguerS Hear RumOrs That Connie Is to Part With Jack

New York, June 9.-'Tis bruited among American League players that within the next week Jack McInnis will be sold by Connie Mack to the Red Sox While here with the Atn- letics last week Connie declared that never again would he sell a star, but it may be that on McInnis showing this season he is no longer rated a luminary by the maker of ball clubs.
 Stranger happenings than the likes of McInnis going to Boston have been recorded this year, so it is more than possible that Jack will be sold to Joe Lannin. McInnis does not fit into the present Athletic machine. With Barry, Collins and Baker gone, Jack feels out of gear and it is known that he would welcome a shift to the Red Sox, to play near his old pal Jack Barry.
 Another consideration is the fact that McInnis had his home in Glou- cester, near Boston. Jack would be a prime favorite with Boston fans and box office receipts indicate that Lannin had better get divers Prime Favorites in a hurry.
 Another factor that may prompt Mack to sell McInnis is Jacks annual stipend of $6,500. Nap Lajoie is get ting too slow for second base and with McInnis out, would be shifted to first. Mack has a new candidate for the keystone sack in the person of Lawry, the University of Maine star, who is to report within the next week. Bobby Watt, the Columbia captain, is a possible anchor to the windward.
 What would Boston do with Nc Innis with Hoblitzel hitting .305 and McInnis below the 200 mark? The assumption is that Hobby cannot keep up that pace, while McInnis, with a change of scene, will once more be@s come the wondrous Jack of yore.

CUBS SIGN KNABE.
Tinker Believes Former PhilIy and
 Fed Star Still a Big Leaguer.

Philadelphia, June 9-Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Nationals last night announced that he had signed Otto Knabe, the second base man who once starred with the Phil adelphia Nationals. Knabe was free agent, having been given his uncon- ditional release by the Pittsburgh club only a few days ago.
 Tinker declared that he had watch ed Knabe's playing this year and that the veteran was certainly entitled to a chance to show his wares. "Knabe is still there as a major leaguer and l expect him to prove that pretty con- clusively," said Tinker.
 . Knabe was let go by the Pirates when Jimmy Viox got back into shape. The club did not want to carry two second basemen and Otto was given the gate. He played we'll while with the Pirates Last season Knabe was manager of the Balti- more Federals.

RESTA IN LEAD
Speed King Ahead in Battle for 1916 Title of Champion Auto Driver-TO-
 morrow's Race May Bring Changes.

Chicago, Ill.,, June 9.-By winning the 3OO-mile race at Indianapolis on Memorial day Dario Resta assumed the lead in the battle for the title of champion driver of the year, and for the $13,500 purse put up by the Good rich and Bosch companies.
 The Indianapolis event was the sec- ond of the championship series as designated by the American Automo- bile association. More points were awarded by Chairman Kennerdel for first place in the Hoosier state event than for the Sheepshead Bay Bowls recent Metropolitan race trophy con- test, in which Rickenbacher's victory counted for 500 points. Resta's In- dianapolis win counted for 900 points in the A. A. A. reckoning, giving him the lead over Rickenbacher.
 It had been believed that Ricken- bacher would be given credit for a few points at Indianapolis because he took Hend dersons Maxwell and finished in sixth place. This brought up for the first time the question of whether or not relief drivers should be given credit for their performances, but Kennerdell ruled that after driver has started and broken down he has had his chance and should not be given another opportunity.
 The Chicago Derby, to be raced at the Convention city speedway to- morrow, may result in another driver forging past Resta to the leading po- sition in the championship race.
