Following participation in foreign
games last summer without sanction
of the A. A. u, Paddock was sus-
pended by that body and it is alleged
he has since made statements derog-
atory to the A. A. U. This organi-
Zatiop. which controls amateur track
and field athletics in the United
States, has been criticized freely for
its stand in the case.
Col. Thompson's statement, which
follows, gives a concise account Of
the circumstances:
"The case Of Charles Paddock is
attracting an amount of public at
Importance. The question that is
raised is whether or not Paddock
will be permitted to appear in the
Olympic games to be held In Paris
in 1924. The decision of this ques-
ton depends upon the rules adopted
by the International Amateur Ath-
ietic Federation. The public should
understand that the rules that apply
to US apply to every country when
sends athletes to the Olympic games:

stripped of all unimportant de-
tails the facts are that Paddock went
TO Paris and competed in athletic

Gate club, calling itself university
club, but having no connection with
any French college or university. AT
the request of the French federation
the international federation outlawed
these games and suspended all the
Gthletes who took part In them.
ssThey notified the A. a. U.-their
correspondent in the United States
that an American athlete. Charles
Paddock, had taken part in the games
and requested that he be disciplined.
In compliance with their request the
a. A. u. suspended Paddock.
"The French and other athletes
asked for a hearing, made explana-
tions which were quite satisfactory
, and were released from their suspen-
sion. Paddock has not asked for a
hearing. The A. A. 1.-THE body

Neither is anxious for war, but
neither is afraid Of it and battle lines
are drawn: On one side will be the

The fight probably will be precipi-
tated by the introduction of pro-

the federation to conduct competition
of any sort. Gustavus r. Kirby,
prominent in A. A. L. ranks, will at

about if the N. A. A. F. is to mean
anything. 1t is not that the N. A.
