DEBARRED AMATEUR 5 REINSTATED Tewksbury Promises to Observe Rules of Association in Future Boston, Feb. 9.—One of the three Woodland golfers over whom a fight was instituted by the Boston club that almost disrupted the United States Golf association was reinstated to am- ateur standing by the national body yesterday. He is Paul Tewksbury Francis Ouimet and John H. Sullivan, Jr., the other two, are still under the ban, and according to all information no applications for, consideration of their cases have been received. Following the advice of Silas Strawn and other golf leaders that the proper method for reinstatement to amateur standing lies through the paths set down by the constitution of the U. . G. A. Tewksbury made for- mal application to the executive com- mittee. In that application he stated that he had complied with all regula- tions asked by the amateur golf rule. Howard F. Whitney, secretary of the U. 8. G. A, made public the finding of the committee, which follows: Will Abide By Rule. “The United States Golf association announces that by vote of the execu- tive committee the application ot Paul Tewksbury for reinstatement as an amateur has been approved. This action was taken after careful consid- eration of the merits of this particular casc and following a guarantee of Wright &Ditson that the applicant had definitely and permanently withdrawn from the position in their establish- ment under which he violated the by- laws of the U. S. G. A. covering the definition of an amateur. “Pewksbury has made a formal affi- davit confirming the foregoing and containing a pledge that he will in the future rigldly observe the U. S. G. A. rulés governing the standing of an amateur.” Although Woodland members may consider the reinstatement of Tewks- bury a victory in their war against the amateur rule anl the disbharment of the three young players, it is a vic- tory for the U. S. G. A., according to 4 local official. Even ‘should Oiumet and .Sullivah apply’ for ‘consideration of their status it will be impossible to reinstate thcm unless they resign from the business whick occupies their at- tertion at present, declared the same official. - During the recent annual meeting of the U. S. G. A. Silas Strawn of Chi- cago made it clear to all golfers pres- ent that the Wocdland club had made a mistake in warring upon the U. S. G. A. rules. He also pointed out that there is a rule in the constitution which makes it possible for any goif- er to seek redress. .In his speech Mr. Strawn said that should Tewksbury, Ouimet or Sullivan come before the executive committee and exhibit facts that would prove they are not violat- ing the spirit of the amateur rule the. committee undoubtedly would act fa- vorably in their cases. In his affidavit Tewksbury admits he violated the amateur rule, but states his willingness to abide by the rules in the future. This in itself seems a 1 stringent only upholds the present admission amateur law but wins an he has been in the wrong and not un- justly accused, as was Woodland officials. McAULIFFE Conn. Champion 'BEATS EGGERS Awarded Decision Over Fast New Yorker—Allen ‘Hands Sleep Potion to Ketchell Bridgeport, Feb. 9.—Young McAu- liffe, the local bantamweight, was awarded the popular decision over K. O. Eggers of New York, in a fast twelve round bout at the Casino last right. McAuliffe forced the fighting throughout and earned honors in ceven of the rounds wnile Eggers had the advantage in but one round, the second. Iour other were evenly dis- tributed. Both boys fought tip in practically every round ged one of best battles seen in this city in years. Referee Terry lL.ee was forced to warn .the principals several times for alleged illegal tac- tics. Previous to the bout McAuliffe was presented with a belt by his brother members of the St. Joseph's T. A. B.. In the sebi-final bout Al Ketchell was knocked into permanent retire- ment by Red Allen. Allen scored a knockdown in the first round and finished the Yankee boy in the fourth session with a left to the jaw.

Sharpe was on the T ceiving end in every round but took all Bennett could offer without a flinch.

[TENNIS SOLONS IN ANNUAL SESSION Several Cities Seek National Singles Championship New York, Feb. 9.—The thirty- sixth annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis asso- ciation opened at the Waldorf-As- toria beginning at 4 o’clock this af- ternoon and the amateur topic is sail- ient among a host of rather perplex- ing problems. As a prelude to the big conventior there were two minor meetings at the Waldorf yesterday. In the after- noon the committee headed by Edwin ¥. Torrey. secretary of the associa- | tion, to report on the proposed na tional championship doubles tourna- Jaent went over the various offers of clubs to stage the tournament. While no announcement was made of its findings it was said that the com- mittee had looked with favor on the proposition of the Crescent athletic club to hold the competition at Bay Ridge. If the West Side Tennis club fails to retain the national singles tourna- ment there is no question that it will be awarded the doubles.. There ap- | peared .to be some doubt last night as to whether the courts at Forest Hills would once more be the scene of the singles event. Considerable op- position to keeping *he tourney in New York appears to have been de- veloped by Philadelphia and = New- port agitators. Opposition to Committee. The opposition seems to have been organized not so much agalnst the West Side club as against the execu- tive committee of the national as. sociation, which favors the adoption of the proposed amateur legislation and the retention of the singles at Forest Hills. Various contrary mem- bers of the association are evidently in a mood for overruling the execu- tive eommittee. That body met last night and arranged the program for today’s session. While sentiment in this section is, and no doubt rightfully, in favor of the proposed amateur rule, it looks very much as if the amendments will be beaten. As the changes affect the constitution, they require a two-thirds vote and this, from ihe outlook last night, the supporters of the reform wiil hardly be able to muster. There are about 260 votes and the amend- ment will require approximately 180 votes to pass. As it will require only ubout 91 votes to beat the amend- ments, the outlook for the proposed iegislation is indeed dark. It was said by a Western delegate at the Waldorf that the -sentiment west of Illinois was strongly opposed to the changes and that a canvass of the various members of the associa- tion had proved that the opponents of the amendments were assured of a maljority of the votes. George T. Adee, | president of the association, was i very hopeful that the changes would be voted in. He would not concede 1hat opponents of the proposed strict smateur rule could gather 91 votes. Two New Officers. In addition to the prohibition against engaging in the business of selling tennis goods after April 1, 1918, the amendments on amateurism iinclude a clause which would pre- vent players from accepting expenses and other courtesies from hotels for competing in hotel tourneys. ‘That amendment is a good one, but is very badly worded and seems destined for defeat. The business on hand includes the election of officers. Mr. Adee and Mr. Torrey are to remain, but Rich- ard Stevens, for many yvears treasurer, is to give way to Bernon S. Prentice, and A. L. Hoskin, vice president, is to retire in favor of Dwight F. Davis. The institution of a doubles tour- ney similar to the singles champion ship event, the restriction of division. al championship, the ecreation of a new section in the Pucific northwest, the creation of forty-flve junior ten- nis centers and many other ques- tions will be voted on. The session will be started at 4 o’ciock p. m. and there will be an intermission for din- ner. Then the battle will be resumed. S TREATMENT. Factory Has Witnesses Against Man Seeking Compensation. Walter Chemelaski of this city ap- peared before Compensation Commis- sioner George B. Chandler vesterday to seek compensation for injuries re- ceived at the Landers, Frary & Clark factory on November 14. The plain- tiff said that his hand was badly in- jured in a chopping machine and he had not received any treatment. Witnesses for the factory testified that although treatment had been of- fered, Chemelaski had refused to be treated. Judgment was reserved. EVANGELIST MEETINGS, Rev. Thomas C. Henderson of Col- umbus, Ohio, will begin special meet- ings at Booth hall night. Evangelist Henderson comes from successful meetings which he has been conduct- ing in the west and closed in order to fulfiill his engagements in this city which were made last July. The | Emanuel Gospel church are planning several weeks of meetings every night j except Monday under the leadership of Mr. Henderson. A large chorus choir will lead the singing. The evan- gelist will be given a hearty welcome tomorrow night. l RULE SHOP BOWLERS - TRIM FAFNIR FIVE Cellar Guardians Make Strong Bid for Victory-Newington Loses The Fafnir Bearing company bowl- ers, occupants of the cellar position in the .
