JOSEPH M'CABE
 DIES SUDDENLY
Prominent Member Of A. A. U.
 Passes Away at Convention

Washington, Nov. IS P-Ihe
 sudden death of Joseph E. MacCabe
 O. Boston, one of the most prom irent members of the Amateur Ath- lctic Union, cast gloom over the { concluding sessions here today Of the A. A. |. convention
 When the kindly little man, who
 \ as known and respected in anna teur sport circles throughout the
 United States and Europe. suddenly collapsed and died Of apopIexy dur ing a caucus last night, all the i machinery of the convention was : brought to a standstill.
 For a time, President Avery Brundage of Chicago, considered ad-
 burning the convention but he sub-
 nitted to the urgings of Boston dele gates who declared MacCahe would have preferred the work to go on uninterrupted.
 Accordingly. the concluding ses- slons were to be held today as scheduled. Occupying a prominent 1 place on the program were the cleo ! tion of officers. the final awarding 0: various championship meets, the
 choosing Of next years convention city, and the naming of ten athletes
 adjudged the outstanding figures in
 amateur sport during the last year.
 MacCabe himself. as president of the James l.. Sullivan memorial committee, had looked forward 10
 announcing the names of the ten

 vas president in 1895 and 1906 and
 at the time of his death he vas 1 chairman of the important foreign
 relations committee as well as the Sullivan memorial committee. He . lad expected 10 observe his seventy ! second birthday here tomorrow by
 attending the quadrennial meeting ! of the American Olympic AssoCia-
 ton. of which he was a member. ] Although apparently in excellent . health for a man of his years. Mr. ] MacCabe told Daniel J. Ferris, A. A. i I., secretary treasurer. yesterday
 that he planned to withdraw from athletic affairs for fear of overdo-
 ing things.
 'I may look all right but I am not all right he said, "I feel that
 owe It 10 my health 10 rftire from A. A. |. activities"
 Not 24 hours later MacCabe, an able parliamentarian and fluent
 speaker, had aided in the organiza- l ton Of the convention caucus and was about 10 go 10 another room
 when he slumped 10 the floor. utter ! ing the words: My heart hurts He died few moments after. at

 formerly a Massachusetts state sena- tor and chairman of the Boston re- publican committee.
 Not even the prospect Of a battle
