1. A. U. MEETING
PROVES TO 8t
HEATED AFFAIR
Committee's Proposal to Bar
Women Swimmers Meets
With Protest.
IS FINALLY VOTED DOWN
Definition of an Amateur Is
Adopted—St. Louis Gets
Next Convention.
NEW Y<»RK. Nov. 21. The Ama-
teur Athletic Union of the United
States Monday night decided to hold
Its next annual convention at St.
Louis in November 1917. George J.
Turner of Baltimore was re-elected
president of the union and Freder-
ick W Rubien of New York again
was made secretary treasurer.
Vic* presidents elected were:
First. R. W. Dodd of San Fran-
cisco; second. Thomas B. Watts of
St. Louis; third. William A. Prout
of Boston: fourth. Joseph Ritchie of
Chicago.
No Dates Announced.
No dates or places for the na-
tional championships were an-
nounced. hut it was recommended
to the championship committee that
the national outdoor senior cham-
pionship be awarded to St. Louis
and it was regarded as probable that
the national indoor junior titular
meet will take place at Buffalo New
Year's night.
Hitherto the annual meeting has;
been held in New York. Western i
delegates urged that the change be
made and when the vote was taken 1
it was unanimous in favor of St. I
Louis.
Delegations from eleven associa- i
tlons and allied bodies were in at-
tendance when the meeting began
and the report of the record com-
mittee which was announced Sunday
was accepted and adopted.
Charles P. Havlicek. employed as
a life guard at the Chicago bathing
beaches was declared to be in good
standing as an amateur. They de-
clared all life guards employed as
water front policemen who do not
accept compensation as swimming
instructors are eligible amateurs.
The definition of an amateur as
"a sportsman who engages in sport
solely for the pleasure and physical
mental or social benefit he derives
therefrom and to whom sport is
nothing more than an avocation
was adopted.
Amendments Are Adopted.
All the amendments relating to
the disbarment pardoning and re-
instatement of athletes who trans-
gress the rules which were enacted
here last January were adopted.
An attempt to make it imperative
that all delegates to the annual
meetings should be amateurs in good
standing caused a heated discussion
and was voted down.
In the future when a student

The return of Butler a giant tackle

CLAPHAM HERE FOR
i FRIDAY NIGHTS BOUT
British Light Heavyweight
Champion in Prime Phy-
sical Condition.
Jack Clapham. British lightweight
champion wrestler who is matched
to meet ’ Pet” Brown middleweight
champion of the world in a finish
match at Beethoven Hall next Fri-
day night has arrived in Ban Anto-
i nlo. The British ’ Lion” as he is
known to the followers of the mat
game is in first class physical con-
dition. having had a set-to with Joe
I Spasek in Rosenberg Tex. last Sat-
[ urday night. Spasek was no match
I for the Briton who downed his op-
ponent in one minute and a half.
Clapham according to his record
'is a fast worker and does not let
an opponent stay any longer than
necessary. According to clippings
from San Francisco papers. Clap-
ham surprised the coast fans there
recently by throwing Takamura the
Jap. in seven and a half minutes
the Jap refusing to go on the mat
again. |
Takamura is the Jap that made
Adolph Ernst wrestle more than an
hour to gain a fall and (’laphams
[victory over the Jap made the fans
want a match between him and
Ernst. Ernst won this bout but it
took him more than two hours to
defeat the Briton who undoubtedly
is one of the most skillful catch-as-
; catch-can artists n the business.
The Englishman is a native of
Bradford England and speaks with
a decided accent.
In speaking of Ernst's prowess
the Briton says he undoubtedly if
the greatest man he has ever wrest-
led with the exception of Joe Steeli-
er the Nebraska phenom. Clapham
was the wrestling partner of Hack-
enschmidt the Russian who wrest-
led Gotch for the world’s champion-
ship in Chicago.

JOHNSON WOULD NOT
"OPPOSE” THIRD LEAGUE
Baltimore. Buffalo. Toledo
and Other Cities Suggest-
ed for New Body.
CHICAGO Nov. 21. Ban John-
son. president of the American
League would not “oppose’’ the
formation of a third major league
he said Monday when recent gossip
concerning such an organization was
brought to his attention.
“In fact.” he said ’ I rather like
the idea.”
As Mr. Johnson was the foremost
foe of the Federal League his atti-
tude was regarded with unusual in-
terest.
“The Federal League.” continued
Mr. Johnson “never had a right to
exist because it was formed by trying
to legislate a league into existence
rather than by any public demand."
Cities suggested in connection
with a third league are Baltimore
Buffalo. Newark and Toronto in the
East and Toledo Indianapolis Louis-
ville and Milwaukee in the Middle
West. The plan ns at present dis-
cussed is to raise these cities to
major league standing by placing
them outside the draft.
“Would th© new league be given
representation in world series?” Mr.
Johnson was asked.
"That would have to be worked
out later” he replied. "The game has
not prospered in some of these cities
and by giving them the highest rap-
ing the whole game would receive a
boost.”
The American League head said
that Washington would remain in
the American League.
