that Charles Paddock. California
sprinter. might go abroad with the
American Olympic team next June
was strengthened with the an
nouncement here today that the not
ed runner had applied for REIN
statement with the Amateur Ath-
letic Union. The letter was received
by William c. Prout, president of
the union, who said that he would
lay 1t before a special committee
IN Chicago next week.
A long and heated controversy,
which grew far beyond It's original
limits and threatened! tor a time to
disrupt the friendly relations OF
leading amateur associations OF this
country. followed Paddock's suspen-
sion last summer for what the A.
A. u. officials charged was unau-
thorized participation in n meet at
Paris. and for alleged irregularities
in his 1920 expense account. Two
weeks ago the Southern Pacific AS
sociation of the A. A. L. demanded
the sprinter's reinstatement, and
both the National Collegiate Athlet-
ic Association and the National ALL
ateur Athletic Federation were ex-
pected to come to Paddock's de-
fense.
The special committee which will
consider Paddock's petition Is COM

Ashton, Ida, Jan. 28-Tragedy

upper reaches of the Targhee forest,
where "Whistlin' Lyd" Hutchinson,

her team for the coming American
Dog Derby on Washington's birthday.

mistress had trained and coached

Four of her racing dogs, including
Old MAZE, her famous leader, We're

wonder, then, that the shriil whistle
that had urged their flying feet over
the crusted trail died on her lips as
it was formed to call them to break
fast, and utter despair and hopeless
ness settled in her heart?
Did you ever own dog, and have
him die? Wasn't he received on equal
fotting with the family, of which he
was virtually a member? Imagine.
then, the feelings Of "Whistlin" Lyd,"
who lost not only her dogs, but her
family as well, for the FIVE sinewy
brutes that pulled her sled were the
only family the girl from the Targhee
had or knew.
Add to that fact that the loss of
the dogs meant that her chance of
winning the 1924 race was gone as
surely as were Majc, or Freckles. or
the other two, for the event was less
than two months away, and there
was no time to train another team.

Thirty y-nine of the points scored dur

UP BOXING SPORT
SAYS SEN. WALKER

New York. Jan. 2S (By A. P.)-
Boxing Is shaking at it's foundations
in New York State and unless there
is a Lands to guide it's destinies in
the emergency, it may not survive
present attacks.
This was the gist Of a declara tion
made last night by State Senator
James Walker before the annual
dinner Of the Baseball Writer'S AS
sOCiatiOn.
The statement by Senator Walker,
father of the present boxing law here
and Democratic majority lesd in
the upper House Of the Legislature
was the first admission from an Of
ficial source that the fistic game
here Is in n precarious condition. Re-
ports have been current for some
time Of anti-boXing agitation, due
to alleged gambling. unpopular de-
cisions and other causes of dissat-
isfaction, but until last night they
had not been given official cogniz-
ance.
Without directly mentioning box
ing. Senator Walker declared:
There's another sport that's close
to my heart, against which some
things have been said lately. You
all know what I mean. That sport
is shaking at its foundations right
now but were there Landis at its
fead. 1t wouldn't even shivver In its
boots"
Within the past few weeks a num-
ber of measures have been intro
duced in the legislature designed
either to curb certain phases of box
ing or abolish it entirely in this
state. From other agencies attacks
have been levelled at the game. but
so far belief has prevailed that nc
drastic measures will be taken.
In some quarters it is believed
Gov. Smith will end speculation over
his attitude by filling existing vacan-
cies on the state athletic commits
sion. which controls the game. Two
Of the three commissioners-Wi William
Muldoon. veteran chairman and
Frank Dwyer OF Geneva-passed out
OF office the first Of the year with
the expiration Of their terms.

.FRANSEN Will LEAD
COLBY HARRIERS; tST
STRING TEAM PICKED
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

t0RCCldl " hClnCOCS SOAAho1A(
watervilIe, Jan. 2s.-Coach Mike J.
Ryan Of the Colby track team has
picked his team for the annual relay
meets as follows: Everett A. Fransen
|'z5 Of Lynn. Mass. Roy C. Hearon rs
OF White Plains. NY. Elmer n. Tay-
lor rs Of Winthrop. and Russell F.
Brown '2s Of Fairfield. The team was
picked late tonight by the Colby men,
tor in readiness for the several relay
meets which the Blue and Gray annu-
ally takes part in.
Everett A. Fransen rs Of Lynn.
Mass, was elected captain of the relay
team by the members shortly after
they had been chosen by the track
coach and will lead this years relay
team on the boards. Fransen was a
valuable runner last year and one of
the fastest runners at Colby. With
Hearon, he IS rated as the best relay
man the local college boasts of. Fran
sen has improved much since last sea-
son and should make a fine showing on
the boards this year. One unusual fact
In connection with the election to the
captaincy Of Fransen is that his broth
CT. Bobby" Fransen, is also a captain
on one Of the major teams at Colby
baseball-for the coming year. 1t is
not often that two brothers, in the
same class at college. are leaders Of
two of the important teams. Both men
are members of the lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity.
Coach Ryan announced that owing to
the stress of picking the men to rep
resent America on the Olympic team
this year. the authorities in charge of
the annual Millrose relay games had
called off the relay races of the smaller
colleges. and that this season Colby
would not run in Gotham. However,
by special invitation former Captain
Rollo Payne Of the Colby cross-country
team will compete in a special three
! mile event for amateurs and will rep
resent Colby and the State of Maine in
this special run. Payne at present
holds the State championship in the
cross-country run. which he won last
fall over the Colby course at the Maine
Intercollegiate cross-country run.
The Blue and Gray relay team will
leave Waterville the end of the week
for Boston. where they will race
against Tufts and Boston University in
q three-cornered meet at the Boston
A. A. carnival. From all accounts, both
Tufts and Boston University have
strong aggregations this winter. but
Coach Ryan is in hopes that his
charges will pull through with a vic
tory in the Hub.
George L. Mittlesdorf will go as al
ternate on the relay team and will be
| competitor in the 40-yard dash.
