FASTEST HUMAN"
TELLS HIS SIDE
OLYMPIC RUMP us
Willing to ForegO Noted
Event Without a
Comeback
BY United Press Leased Wire


PASADENA, Dec. 24.-If the
Amateur Athletic Union National
Committee refuses to sanction
Charles w. Paddock, he will abide
by the decision.
According to statement written
by Charley, himself, before the pub
lie today, the "fastest human" is
not making any apologies for what
he is accused of. In fact, Charley
states his ease very ably and ignores
the uncomplimentary personal re
ference contained in the commit
tee S refusal Saturday.
The statement follows in part:
~ have never attacked the ANA
teur Athletic Union as an organic
alton. / have never authorized an
interview in which / 'villified' the
A. A. U. or charged it's officers or
athletes with professionalism, he
said.
But I have said that it seemed
to me that some of the actions of
certain A. A. L. committees were
unjust and arbitrary and not to the
best interests of the athletes.
cit seems that this whole matter
has grown out of my competition in
French college meet without A. A.
u. sanction. | was a college man,
competing in q college meet, sane
toned by my own University, and
the National Collegiate Association
Day About Over
"My day of active competition
is probably about through. If those
who have the final say in who shall
60 to the Olympic games do not
wish to have inc as a candidate, I
am content to retire. 'A-.t...
"In good faith | was invited, and
in good faith l have competed,
Paddock concluded.
The action and words Of the A
A. U. in Paddock s case have been
censured by nearly every coast
sport writer and student. Ramifi
/ cations of their prohibition of Pad
dock may be so far reaching as to
split up the organization, it is said
At any rate, should Paddock be
finally barred, America will lose not
only one of her best runners but an
athlete who has won the admiration
of every good sportsman with whom
he has been associated.
NEW YORK, Dee. 24.-One
chance still remains for Charley Pad
dock, the worlds sprint champion
to become eligible for appointment
to the 1924 American Olympic team
If Paddock apologies for several
statements which the A. A. U. in
terpseted as being "insulting" and
if he makes a satisfactory explana.
tion of some financial matters he
may be reinstated as an American
amateur in good standing.
Paddock, however, must take tho
initiative i'll asking for a hearing
before committee of the A. A. T.
that has been appointed to review
and pass upon his case, it was learn
ed today.

some water in an old copper kettle,
lighting a fire with an emery wheel,
cotton waste and gunpowder from a
cartridge.
When picked up the crew had al
most no clothing left.
