A. A. U. TO RAISE. FUND FOR SPORT AT ARMY CAMPS

Chicago, Nov. 22-Special attention to athletics in the army and navy camps of the nation is to be the chief aim of the Amateur Athletic Union at once. according to Charles A. Dean, who returned yesterday from St. Louis, where he was chosen presi- dent of the union at the annual meet ing.
 Rules governing amateurs are not to be adhered to strictly at the army cantonments and naval stations, and should an amateur soldier or jackie find himself opposed to a professional he will not be haled before a critical committee.
 'The A. A. U. has been a great or ganization and has been ably con- ducted in the past" said Dean, 'but new problems confront us, and it is just as we'll to cut the red tape. That was the spirit at the meeting in St. Louis, and I am going to bend every effort to make the union useful to the country at large. The biggest things before us now are the army and navy camps, and that is where we are going to begin.
 My effort at present will be to raise money and encourage athletics at all of the camps. We want the | money for equipment and the activity Tor the good of the boys who are pre- pairing to go to the front for indoor sports which will fit into camp life right away.'' f

FRENCH AND DUTCH BULBS
 JUST ARRIVED JOHN RICK & SON ROAM HAL BRINGS
 $4,0OO ON BLOCK

New, York, Nov. 22-The highwater mark of Old Glory sale. in Madison Square Garden was reached yester- day afternoon when Roan Hal,- one of the most brilliant pacers of the last two seasons, was knocked down to the bid of w. B. Eckert of Reading, Pa, for $4,00O. Roan Hal has won more than 5000 on the half mile tracks this season and has captured IA of the big free-for-all events. He has a record of 2:00A and on half mile track paced a mile at KutztoWn, Pa in 2.03A, which is a record for a gelding.
 There was spirited bidding for what Is considered the prize of the sale and one that is likely to become a com petitor of the great Directum l. 5. 5. Shurter, who owns Directum l. was the chief contender of MT. Eckert in the interesting session for the pos session of the speedy pacer. Bids Jumped quickly until MT. Eckert finally made all others quit With the figure that exceeds by $1,500 the price paid for any other horse at the sale. The new owner of Roan Hal is no novice at the racing game, as he al- ready owns the paeer Peter Stevens, 2:01A, one of the very few horses that has shown the way in race to Directum I.
 Prices ruled much higher than on any other day of the sale. Pacers ap- peared to be in demand, for Homer D., 2:O61a which has a good winning record, brought $2,400. He was bought by James Clark of Buffalo for a sportsman in Columbus, Ohio. and will join the string campaigned by Speck Erkskine.

DAN O'NEIL BACK
 FROM BIG MEETING

Dan O'Neil, president of the East
 ern League, is back once more after
 his recent trip. to Louisville, Ky, to
 attend the annual meeting of the Na-
 tional Association of Professional
 Baseball Leagues. When seen yeSter- day afternoon at'his place of business
 in Hartford, he was full of converse tion about the meeting of the minors,
 but most of all he was pleased by the
 fact that he was elected to member ship on the board of arbitration, as with the death of Timothy H. Mur- nane, the former head of the Eastern
 League, New England was without a representative on this most important body, and the Eastern league needs someone here to look after it's in- terests at all times. Suffice it to say, that the club owners in this circuit can feel satisfied that they will get a good run for their money. with -O'Neil
 on hand to :watchs proceedings. The eastern executive was much
 pleased with the doings of the minors
 annual session, more so than he has
 been in former years when it has been his lot to watch proceedings from the standpoint of a club presi- dent. He spoke for a moment about the movement to form a new league between the American Association and the International, and said that | the. resolution presented to bring this about namely the restriction of the entire minor league field, failed o1 passage because there. was nobody who seemed real interested in offer | ing it. When it first came before him as member of the committee
 on revision of the constitution no one
 on that committee sponsored, it, and when it reached the board it foun6
 scarcely any more support.

OVER THE TOp:-::

Another ring on the telephone, an- other call for the sports editor (dang, these calls are becoming frequent), and a voice on the wire: Did you see that article about Chic Brown, Young Blades and Battling Kunz in the paper this morning?'
 No. we hadn't. but we are willing to look. and learn. So we picked up the only local morning paper, turned to the sports page, and glanced at the sporting editors personal column, and read;
 ''Donlev did not dispute the pos session. of the New England title to Blades. He knows that he is not eligible for competition for the New England title, being a resident of New Jersey And further along:
 'tMcCoogan of Brooklyn also de- feated Blades when that sorapper was champion. but Coogan did not win the championship. Willie Ritchie lost the worlds lightweight championship to Freddie Welsh. but he still held the American title. Welsh lost the same title to Benny Leonard, but Freddie is still the English cham pion. The same principle involved in those two battles fits the casc of the Blades-Don1ey fight.
 And right here let us, for the sake of those who jump at conclusions SC quickly. state that in the event that Benny Leonard knocks out the es- teemed Chic Brown. the New Ha- vener will still be the New England champion. To lose that title Brown
 must necessarily be defeated by a lightweight who is resident of this section"
 All of which. in clear English, points
 out that a man holding residence ir
 one place cannot win a championship | in another. Our i1lustrious contem- i repeats it for emphasis various times | We presume he was taking excep- l tion to articles we wrote with refer ence to New England title. etc., SC will proceed to show what an imbe- l ellie argument She makes.
 i Taking our contemporary's last par l agraph quoted above as an example | '"To lose that title Brown must nec- bessari1y be defeated by a lightweight who is resident of this section" we
 will show conclusively that this Is Q
 statement directly contrary to fact. | Miss Mo1la Bjurstedt, Of Norway
 who IS @ Norwegian now, and who has not even a permanent address 1T
 this country, won the Metropolitan tennis championship on May 5, 1916
 How could she do this. if she wasn1 | a. resident of the Metropolitan dis.
