Jockeys Widow Denies
Story About Sullivan

Recently The Star published an
Associated Press dispatch from
New York concerning the haz-
ardous careers led by jockeys, in
which it was set forth that
Jimmy Sullivan, Washington
rider who was fatally injured dur
ing a race at Aqua Caliente last
winter, had entered the race be-
cause he was badly in need of
money. The story said that
Charley Rosengarten, another
jockey, had, out of sympathy for
Sullivan, turned over his mount
to him.
In that connection The Star
has received letter from Mrs.
Sullivan in which she says that
some of the statements in the
article were not correct.
MY husband" she writes, was
by no means desperate for the
mount which he accepted; he
only took it because Rosengarten
had to leave before the last race
and therefore there was q loose
mount, and naturally Jimmy was
anxious to make the extra ten.
(Who wouldn't?) ""s
$50 you see I cannot let things
like this be written when 1t was
Jimmy Sullivan who was the 81
lent hero. am relying on
you to Immediately rectify this
erroneous article"

Griffith 10 Aid Pitt
Put Athletics on
Big Ten Basis
Only Cooperative, Not
Step to Group Berth,
Says Commissioner
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH. Feb. 1.-The Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, expressing
determination to maintain its ath-
letics on an amateur basis" today
voluntarily placed itself under Big
Ten regulations.
Full-time coaches and the univer-
sity's Faculty Committee an Ath-
letics ratified cooperative agree
ment under which Maj. John L.
Griffith, veteran commissioner of
the Western Conference, will super
wise Pitts athletics in accordance
with Big Ten rules.
THE plan is one simply of mutual
cooperation" Griffith said in Chi
cago. There is no movement under
way that I know of to enlarge the
membership of the conference"
First Such Agreement.
The agreement is the first made
by the Big Ten with any school out
side the conference.
James Hagan, Pitt athletic direc-
tor, said the plan was first submitted
by Pitt an dapproved by the con-
ference to assist the university
guard against violations of eligibil-
ity. subsidization and PROSECUTING.
The athletic situation at Pitt has
been hotly debated since the an
nouncement more than a year ago
by Chancellor John G.. Bowman of
the Bowman code." a policy that
placed the university's athletics on
strictly amatuer" basis.
Frosh Trouble Brings Action.
The discussion reached a peak
several months ago when 80 fresh
man members of the 1888 football
squad protested they were being
"dunned" for tuition fees. The first
year players admitted they had
signed notes for tuition, but asserted
they were under the impression this
was only "formality."
Termed the best freshman team
In recent years at Pitt-where good
football teams have become the
rule under DR.. John Balm Suther-
land, the head coach-the players
talked Of leaving school unless an
adjustment was made. The uni
versity then waived the tuition fees
for one year only.
Will Make q Survey.
Griffith will come here to survey
Pitts athletic setup and is to receive
full information respecting the
present status of athletics at the
university" Hagan said.
The agreement apparently ends
Pitts post-season games, since Big
Ten rules ban such contests.
