The Amateur Speakeasy.

Inc Amateur SpeAke3SJ. lsr
Mr.. BRUNDAGE'S statement, which
1v1 Is intended to be q broadside
against the slowed-down Fastest HUI
man, turns out to be q naive admission
Of the ineffectiveness and the tncompe-
tence Of the A. A. U. TO perform those
functions which 1t has assumed to en-
force. II. prior to the Olympic games,
the heads Of the A. A. U. were almost
unanimous In voting that Paddock was
not truly an amateur, why was 1t that
Paddock was not read out Of the
A. A. U. long before?
The statement, In order to en-.
phasize the fact that the notion Of
Paddock's professionalism was so
strong, points out that when he Vas
certified as an amateur Vice Presi-
dent Wightman of the Olympic COM
mittee resigned in disgust. But the
= fact remains that none Of theA A.
A. u. officials who were 80 certain
that Paddock had violated all anna
teur ethics resigned In disgust or
In any other mood, either 1T that
time or subsequently.
If the A. A. U. offlcialS were 80 keen
on keeping their athletes in the same
status as Caesars wife, they might ut
least have voiced their convictions at
the time. Their attitude was weak and
vacillating and it still Is weak and
vaccillating. They permitted . member
Of their organization, according to their
admission, to sail with the Olympic
team under false colors. They did not
admit it until the admissions came
from Paddock himself.
This thing, following the Barbuti case,
strengthens the indication that the
A. A. u. could not keep the amateurs
amateur even If all the officials Of the
organization were set on doing It,
which Is not apparent from what comes
out every now and then. And It Is my
notion that while there are gate re-
ceipts and other perquisites, no other
organization could keep athletes with
one talent from getting all they can
through the Amateur Athletic Speak
easy.
Michigan gridmen, who finished In
1928 with Q rush, are nearly all back.

The National Tennis Scramble.

one or two French tennis

~ coste. stirs up more enthu-
siasm for the national cham
pionship. But this time their absence
win make the next show one Of the
most interesting In many years. 1t will
be doubly interesting to see what two
such veterans as Tilden and Hunter can
do against the swarm Of younger stars
now coming on like the surf. This next
championship should be q free-for- all.
where any one Of five or. six entries
might win with the right break.
There will be no one dominating fg-
ure, but there will be q number who
are well matched, and the scramble
to outiast the field should be one Of
the keenest ever known. In the old
days 1t had to be either Tilden or
Johnston. Later It had to be one Of
the Frenchmen, Cochet or Lecoste. Now
there will be no set final round, no
one or two picked stars good enough
to romp through the mass without any
great trouble. Outside Of Tilden and
Hunter, the veterans, there win be such
stars as Lott, Van Ryn, Allison, Doeg,
Mercur, Bell, Mangin, Hennessy and
four or i've more who will have at least
some sort Of chance.

Association studying the results OF the

afternoon, with the object Of recon-
mending to the American Olympic com.

Olympic team. This group was the
track and field selection committee OF
the Amateur Athletic Union, composed
OF experienced athletic omcialS from
all sections Of the country.
Discussion developed that prac-
tically every man In the room felt
that Charles Paddock had repeat
edly capitalized his athletic fame
and therefore forfeited his amateur
standing. When the American Olym-
Die committee met, another and
different group Of athletic ofncias.

branches of amateur sports, ex-
pressed the same opinion, only more

ants and because they did not have
definite evidence at their immediate
disposal, Paddock's name was included
on the list, with the specific recon-
mendation to the president. of the
American olympic committee that the
selection committee felt that his rec
ord was blemished and that inasmuch
as American representatives IN the
Olympic games should be like Caesars
wife, he should not be allowed to wear
the American shield until he could
prove conclusively that he had lived up
to the amateur code without cheating.
