STOPS TRACK MEETS
New York's ArmerIes Closed to Pub
lie As War Nears.

NEW YORK, Feb. International
troubles threatened today to put a
stop to winter indoor sports in New
York staged in armories Of the New
York national guard.
Guard headquarters here has issued
an order forbidding any sports in
armories unless they are OF such a
private nature that huge gatherings
are not possible. This effectually
stops the annual indoor meet of the
New York Athletic Club, and casts a
curtain OF uncertainty over the an
nual indoor tennis meet. The latter
had been scheduled to start Saturday.
The tennis meet may yet be per-
mitted in the armory, officers having
admitted it is near enough a private
AFFAIR to preclude the possibility of a
large crowd attending. Negotiations
have been opened by the N. Y. A. c.
to stage the athletic meet in Madison
Square Garden.
The colonel OF each regiment will
be allowed to use his own discretion
in giving permission for games at the

BUSINESS Is OUT
OF TITULAR RACE
Eastern Takes Measure of
Stenographers BY Winning
Well Played Game.

Eastern eliminated Business from
championship consideration by win
ming a "a to 13 contest at the Y. NJ.
c. A. yesterday, scoring more points
in a championship game than in the
past three years, and earning a Glen
cut victory over the senographers.
Business was crippled by the
absence of Buck Wise and Karl Gless-
ner. Perley, Held, Snyder, and Flynn,
who took part in the fray for the
Stenographers, were unable to work
smoothly. In contrast to the efforts
of the Business team Eastern showed
marked superiority In passing.
Shots Drop In Basket.
For the frst time this season East
ern really got the breaks in basket
shooting. Coach Mccarfrey's lads
have had hard luck in dropping them
in, but yesterday was Eastern's day
and the ball readily found the ring
and dropped through for counters.
Cummings, of Eastern. set a new
mark for individual shooting for the
season. Eight baskets were register
ed by the Eastern guard. Thomas got
his usual two baskets and Baldwin
accounted for his customary four dur
ing the contest.
Got Out Ahead.
Eastern got out ahead at the start
Of the game and maintained its lead.
The nrst half ended with the score
10 to and Bushes was beaten on to
a driving finish. Macdonald was re-
moved from the battle and with
Ralph Wise trying to cary on the
whole offense Eastern was able to
smother Business.
Tech retains its lead in the title
series to date. The standing OF the
teams follows:

SUGGEST WADSW0RTH
Father Of Senator Named to Con-
duct New York's Boxing.

ALBANY, y. Y. Feb. Renewed
efforts were made today by men in
terested in elevating the boxing game
in the State to prevent the repeal OF
the existing statute. Some OF them
are said to have told the governor
that boxing. II supervised by a COM
mission of high class men. can be
made decent and freed from the
abuses that have called for the alb
olition Of the present commission
The promoters of boxing as a clean
sport further told the governor that
James W. Wadsworth, father Of
United States Senator Wadsworth.
probably could be persuaded to be-
come chairman OF the new commits
sion.
The appointment OF Wadsworth.
II was said, would insure the proper
conduct of boxing exhibitions. 1t II
planned to make the Job of Athletic
commissioner non-salaried.
The accomplishment OF the scheme
Of reorganization depends upon the
voluntary resignation OF Frederick A.
Wenck and his associates on the COM
mission. These men, IL Is understood.
will get out in order to make possib BILE
a continuation OF legalized boxing in
this State.

Long Takes Count.
Shortly after Daily had been re-

from a rap on the nose and resumed
the game shortly.
Baltimore appeared to have a sterl-

TENNIS DELEGATES
TO OPPOSE CLAUSE
Amateurism Will Be Discussed
When Big Meeting Is Held
in New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. when the an
nual meeting OF the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association is held
on Friday one OF the keenest skir-
mishes ever recorded is likely to be
precipitated by the mooted amateur
question. The rule which bars from
competition all persons engaged In
the handling, buying or selling Of ten
mis- goods" is not expected to cause as
much debate as subsection of sec
tion 5, which provides a person shall
cease to be an amateur:
"By accepting money, travelling eX-
penses, board or lodging or other
monetary equivalent, except hospital
ity at a private house or from club
belonging to the United States Ma,
tional Lawn Tennis Association: for
playing in any tournament, team or
exhibition match, or other compeu'
ton; but a player when representing
an association or club may receive
necessary travelling and hotel eXpen'
ses from such associations or clubs
through its recognized officials, If
permission to pay such expenses
tanned from the executive committee
by the executive committee"
Takes An Exception.
In a statement made by S. W. Mer
rihew, of the PIainfield Country Club
particular exception is taken to thai
clause in the subsection reading "ex
cept hospitality at a private house or
from a club belonging to the United
States Lawn Tennis Association.
1t is opposed as discriminatory. In
that it permits the National Associa
tion and some of its members to dc
something that others OF its members
are forbidden to do, /. e., to pay
travelling expenses" 1t Is further op
posed by the Plainfield Country Clut
on the ground that:
The subsection Is loosely drawn and
obscure. The term Hospitality is oper
to more than one Interpretation. and may
therefore be construed in a different
manner from that which is proposed BY
the executive committee"
Can Pay Expenses.
Under subsection Z. il adopted, the
National Association and all Of Its mem
bers can pay the travelling and all otheI
necessary expenses OL It's pldgiAb AbShi
I bers il permission has been obtained
( from the executive committee; that Is
/ a California club or association can send
/ its members across the continent to play
at. say LOngwood. and pay all their ex
perfses.
But IL a club. say at Buffalo or Cleve
/ land or Kansas City. wants TO pay th'
! travelling expenses OF an Eastern playel

| forbidden to do so.
I'VE who are opposed to this sub-sec
ton regard this as unjust because
favors one club at the expense OF an
other, and unnecessary because the prin
cipal object desired can be obtained II
an entirely different manner. as will b
seen later
"In other words. We believe that al
clubs and associations should be on tn
same footing: that there should be n
difference between sending and receiV
