Mrs. J. Garfield Riley, Presi-
dent, Protests Delay in
Regulation.

The women's City Club Is the
latest organization to join In the pro-
test against the action of the ZontnS
Commission in postponing for year
enforcement of the regulation for the
erection Of detached houses exclusively
in areas zoned A restricted.
Mrs. j. Garfield Riley. president Of
the club. In prepared statement
issued last night. declared that while
the club Is greatly interested in the
beauty Of Washington and the grow
ing regard manifest by the commits
sion for the esthetic. it feels that this
purpose will not be served by the de
lay in making the regulation effeC

THE Women's City Club is not
greatly impressed with the argument

permit some garden space for the
average person. the statement con-
tinued. Some of this land rezoned

that would make the assessed value

tiplying the assessed value by 10. and
raising the price Of the lot 10 $1.75o.
there is no question that builders are
making money building detached
houses on lots at that price.
But even supposing this were the
case. and the land is too expensive In
the areas for which rezoning has been
asked. we see no reason why the en-
tire restricted area should have heen

Classification of Property Pre-

Classification of property in Chillum
Castle Heights, previously zoned resi-

Commission. The proposed change
was considered at the public hearing
Wednesday, but action was postponed
so that members of the commission
could make a personal survey of the
territory.
The change was indorsed by the
Manor Park and Chillum Castle

The Amateur Athletic Union is I'm
American in principle. 1t is based
on the assumption that an athlete is
guilty until he proves himself limo
cent. The whole fabric of the or
eanization was started with this pre-
cept. The whole working out of the
idea since the days Of James 4. SUI.
Ivan, has been that OF bossism
fauoritism and a dictatorial policy
which brooked no interference.
Over a, stretch of more than 20
years now the Amateur Athletic
Union of America, launched to con-
troll all amateur sports, has made lit
tie or no Roadway save over fleld anu
track athletics. Basketball has Iar
outstripped the field and track game.
Swimming. hockey, soccer and other
sports pay no allegiance to the A. A.
u. save IN sections OF this country.
The SUM and substance Of the
uower of the A. "A. u. Is based
upon its ability to enroll and con-
troll the ko-calIed athletic club ath-
lete and the high school boy.
In Olympic. committee arrange

other forms of non-commercial spot,
the "A. Al. u. gets along nicely. Be-
yond that its sovereignty is assumed
and, unqEe STONED. save in few in
stances, is an aetuality. This is the
means of bluffing the thing through
and, until hallenged. by the recently.
formed National Federation Of Anna.
teur Athletics, the A. A. U. got away
Earlier the A. A. U. gesture to-
ward the control of intercollegiate
athletics became mere wave. The
colleges were found able to take
care of themselves and their atfl-
letes in their own organization.
The A. A. u, knowing that its
talent for the Olympics and notable
meets, had to be recruited from the
colleges, acquiessed In good grace.
Besides the college man was fine
publicity bet.
Nationally the actions of the A..
A. u. are well known. The Olympic
trip fiasco where stars of this ma
ton had to beg and borrow to get
home, the mismanagement OF the
boys abroad have been told before,
by the boys themselves. The ex-
ploitation of United States athletes
