 Charley Paddock, master sprinte
 Of them all, has asked the A. A. U. t
 reinstate him.
 Let us hope that the board wil
 drop its fiddlededee business and re
 instate him..
 The fact that Paddock does no
 look up to the A. A. U. as a little til
 god has nothing to do with the fac that he's as good as they make eG and that isn't maybe. when it come to running.
 He has not broken into the profes sional ranks but he has broker through the pride of the A. A. U.
 Pride goeth before fall and un- less Paddock is on the Olympics team the chances of the A. A. U. taking a tumble are not ineligible.
 Then there's the case of Hal Cut bill, the flying parson," who was disbarred by our own state A. A. U. board for charging excessive ex- penses.
 It has been rumored on good au- thority that another star athlete who took part in the same meet in Hart ford put in a bill that was fabulously high, but his expenses were okeyed by the board. This star was in the heydey of his popularity and he got away with it.
 AS far as we know, Cutbill has not applied for reinstatement.
 Charges that registered amateurs do violate the rule by accepting large foes are not new. Neither are they entirely false, many believe.
 Manager Coach John Tobin of the Rangers has some stiff work ahead of him to remold the Rangers into a winning five.
 The Panthers are reported to be getting very cocky in view of their long string of victories.
 There are several teams that feel they could take a tumble out of them, among them the Broad A. c. of Hart ford. Inability to get playing floor alone prevents a clash.
 The Belgian hockey team gave the American hockeyists good workout yesterday---all Of them. After rolling up a commanding lead the Americans used their entire string of subs.
 uteritz. star quarterback of the Uni yersity of Michigan football team, IS us good performer on the diamond as gridiron. It is said that he intends taking a whirl at major league ball. It is also hinted that Manager Branch Hickey of the St. Louis Cardinals already has him tied mp.
 Ernie Goozeman. only Spaniard in the professional prize ring, continues to make a noise like real star. Goozeman all but knocked out Joe Burmap some weeks ago, and more recently he gave George Butch of St. Louis an artistic trimming.
 Edith Cummings Of Chicago, new woman's golf champion Of America, is one of the longest woman drivers in the game. Few Americans can hit a golf ball as far as inc slim Chlca- goan. and the Misses Wethered and Leltch of England have to step 10 l keep up with her, long as they are off l the tee.
 There hasn't been an out-and-out | champion in the Ohio football con- ference for five successive years. | Just that often the title at the end | of the season has wound up in deadlock with two or more elevens having an equal claim. The confer ence has membership of 20 and is, of course, too unwieldy.
 '1 regard Herbie Pennock as the best southpaw in the American league" says Babe Ruth. "I am glad I am playing on the same club with him. When Miller Huggins secured him from the Red Sox he made tho Yankees pitching staff. Pennock, more than any other man on the Yankees, made possible our recent world series victory over the Giants He rounded out our ball club. His victory. after the Giants had trimmed us game after game, was the turning point in the series"
 Few, if any, American amateurs will cross the sea to play in the Brit ish amateur championship this year. Last fall a full team went over to compete in the title event and for the team trophy. Max Marston, new na- tional champion, did plan to go over, but will probably change his mind.
