NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Although
few. If any. individual track athletes
in the metropolitan district will feel
the effects of that provision of the
war tax law just passed by congress
and signed by Pres't Wilson, levying
tax of 10 per cent on dues and
membership fees in sporting or ath-
letic clubs, the National Amateur
Athletic union must pay a small
amount.
With the exception Of the New
York A. c. none of the 1913 athletic
clubs which go TO make up the Met
ropolitan association of the A a. L.
charges an annual membership fee
OF S12. the minimum amount which
the law touches.
In fact it is probable that none OF
the athletic members of the New
York A c. will be obliged to pay a
tax, because, under special provi-
sion of the club constitution. dues
for this class of membership are
$40. and this class includes all the
