Echoes From A.A.U. Convention
By Jack Masters

The annual convention of the mot
rorolitan district of the Amateur
Athletic Union lasted only five hours
but it was one of the iveliest ses-
sionS held hereabouts in long while
At the outset it was evident that there
ould be fireworks" The delegates
OF the small clubs were instructed to
Gust certain officials, and they certain
ly followed orders. About 4,500 ath-
letes were represented.
Proposed amendments to the rules
governing competition were as plen-
tiful as cries ot Steam Roller" which
rcse unded from the rear of the hall
whenever the chairman attempted to
put through a vote without calling the
roll. The little fellows were taking
no chances and neither did they let an
opportunity pass to throw the wrench
into the machinery of the big clubs.
Charlie Ebert, treasurer of the or
ranization, proposed that the annual
Registration fee of the athlete be
reised from 25 cents to so cents He
was not allowed to finish speaking.
Diplomacy was a thing unheard Of.
bcos and ycils Of derision lasted sew
era! minutes. More than an hour was
consumed before .comprcmlse was
effected, the fee being fixed at 35
cents.
The representatives are anxious to
know just how the American Olympic
committee expended the money collect
ed by public subscription, as is evil
denced by the following resolution
adopted: I've ask that the American
Olympic committee give a detailed re-
port of its receipts, expenditures and
activities so that those who subscribed
may know to what use the funds were
put. Also that all details in connec-
ton with the raising of funds for the
tcsm and the management OF same be
gone over so that the complications
which arose may never arise again"
The demise of the famous Irish
American A. c. was brought to mind
forcibly during the convention. A
fey years ago this organization was
tht most prominent in the country.

able to compete with it, so powerful

Are Evenly Matched

Contrary to general opinion, Mike
ODowd will have little or no advan.

Mrs. Breck Wins

Golf Tourney
Siwanoy Player Takes the
Low Score Prize From
so Women Competitors

Women golfers Of the metropolitan
district to the number of fifty gathered
at the Scarsdale Country Club yester-
day for miniature two-day tourna-
ment. This meet was or is not regu-
lar do-or-die struggle for highly
valued crown. 1t is more an outing
with little' competition thrown in to
make things interesting and, accord
ing to Mrs. Percy Thompson, .ne genial
and energetic secretary Of the w. G. A.,
the first days results were far more
successful than had been expected.
Mrs. Thompson and other had figured
that regular tournament of thirty-six
holes was a bit too strenuous for
women who do not play golf regularly.
SO 1t was decided to try out the plan
OF competing over nine holes. Mrs.
c. W. Breck, OF the Siwanoy Club. was
the winner of the low gross prize. with
score Of "a. The qualifying round
was played over eighteen holes, but the
individual matches will all be decided
over nine holes. Mrs. Breck's winning
card was as follows:
in':::.... Hs':':::.. sE:t 1850
Siwanoy figured prominently in this
tourney as it has in the various mems
tournaments this season. Mrs. j. ].
Thomson, of Siwanoy, finished in a
triple tie for the low net prize with a
score of 9s-7-92, and then won the
play of from Mrs. E. S. Byer, of Deal,
who had score of 99-7-92, and Mrs
3. Timm, of Hollywood, whose score
was 101-9-92
In the first round Of match play an
upset, was registered at the very outset
when Mrs. j. ]. Thompson defeated
Mrs. F. E. Du Bois, of Baltusrol. one
OF the stars of this district. From
the foregoing it can plainly be seen
that Mrs: Thomson was quite on her
game. Also it can be CLEANED that for
Siwanoy it was banner day.
In the other matches Mrs. Margaret
Wolfe, of Sunningdale, defeated Mrs,
A. Macdonald, of Cherry Valley, by
score Of up. Mrs. C. W. Breck main
tanned the honor Of Siwanoy bv win
ming from Mrs. B. Timm by a score of
2 up, and Mrs. E. S. Byer eliminated
Mss, F: A.. Herzog from further conpe-
tltion by her victory of and 2. Be-
sides the first eight three other flights

Match play at nine holes will be con-
tinued to-day. There will also be an

.alloran Seems Sure
OF Fordham Berth

The work of molding Fordham's s
young football aspirants into a varsity
eleven is progressing rapidly. Coach
Joe Dumoe put his charges through a
series of snappy signal drills at Ford
ham Field yesterday afternoon that
kept the players on their toes right
through the practice.
The opening Of classes at the Bronx
institution yesterday increased the
number of candidates materially, and
over forty men have reported. Dumoe
divided them into three tentative
elevens and spent the better part Of
yes esterday's work out teaching them the
fundamentals of team play.
The only candidate who seems to be
sure of regular berth at present is
Halloran. the former Boston College
star. Halloran is ful.back and is a
good line plunger as we'll as a shifty
open field runner.

they might be a bit more lenient on
football players. These athletes should
be given month after the season
closes to make up any studies they
might be down in, for no fellow can
grind out his daily lessons and take
his beatings on the gridron at the
