A, A. U, PLAN IS APPROVED Ten Clubs Are fo Be Granted Charters in State New York, Nov. 20.—(UP)—The formation of a new association to re- | place the old Connecticut Association 'of the Amateur Athletic Union, | which has ben dissolved, has been |approved by the board of governors of thesA. A. U. in conventiof here. | A charter will be granted to ten clubs to form the basis of the new organization. The charter members {of the new body are Yale university, |New Haven Swimming club, New Haven Harriers, New Haven Fire Department, A. A., New Haven Police | A. A, Young Men's Republican A. C., {Cygnet A, C., Duell A. C., Village Center of New Canaan and the Board of Recreation of New Haven. The Connecticut ,which was suspended last winter for | protessional boxing activitiés o some |of the member clubs, forfeited its | membership yesterday. A speclal committee of five diss. trict presidents, headed by Joseph A. Reilly, president of the Metropoli- tan association, investigated the status of the old organization and recommended the dissolution. The old officers of the dissolved associa- tion concurred in this opinion. , In making his report to the con- |vention President Murray Hulbert {mentioned the Connecticut case as | follow “I afforded William Kennedy, president of the Connecticut asso- ciation, an opportunity to correct these conditions,” President Hulbert said in his annual report to the con- vention. “This he carnestly, ener- getically and honestly tried to do. Unfortunately the clubs in that as- sociation legitimately engaged in promoting amateur sports were out- numbered by those who in my opin- ion organized and conducted sport events solely for profit, and the latter outvoted the former in their efforts to cooperate with President Kennedy.” FIGHTS LAST NIGHT | By the Associated Press. | Philadelphia — Hilario Martinez, ain, outpointed Tommy Murphy. |Trenton, N.

A. U, was expected to be {drawn closer to the amateur play. A serious internal clash was nar- | [ rowly averted in the opening day's session between the college faction, led by Gustavus T. Kirby, past presi- dent of the A. A. and head of the L. C. A. on behalf of castern eol- leges, and amateur athletic leaders, championed by L. DI Benedetto of New Orleans. | Kirby's resolution to permit a col- lege or university maintaining a proper system of amateur standards to certify the amateur status of its athletes for A. A. U. competition was passed anly after two defeats and two revisions. The amateur leaders objected to the resolution on the ground that profeasionalism might creep into the ranks of the A. A. U. pointing out that many colleges allowed their |mmen~. to play semi-pro baseball in the summer and receive as high as $150 a month and still retain their amateur standing for intercollegiate athletics. With the registration of college athletes now accepted through the colleges by the A. A. U, the way has been cleared for closcr relations be- tween the A. A. U., and the national collegiate A. A. U., which had quar- relled with the former body on this point. It was even rumorcd that the Big Ten, the foremost conference under the National Collegiate A. A., might be induced to join the A. A. U. Only Towa University of the Big Ten Conference is now a member of) the A. A. U. With Brundage as president, it was said the A. A. U.anight launch 1a campaign to bring the Big Ten into the fold. Several outstanding records were approved including Sabin Carr's in- door pole vault of 14 feet, 1 inch Emerson Spencer's time of 47 sec- onds for the 400 meters; De Hart Hubbard's time of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100 yards; and Lloyd Hahn's 1:51 2.5 for the $80-yard indoors. ! Elgyen track and field rccords | were'rejected. Among those turn d down were Lee Barnes' application for a mark of 14 feet, 1% inches in the pole vault; I'rank Husscy's ap- plication of 6 4-5 seconds for 70 vards; and Charley Paddock’s apyli- cation for a record at the odd dist- tance of 175 yards. Hussey's mark was discredited because it was be- lieved humanly impossible to run 70 yards in 6 4-5 seconds. Louls N. Goldsmith, chairman of the record committee, pointed out that at the rate Hussey was running he would have covered 100 yards in less than 9 seconds.

C. Friday night in the Church street hall, Gullo has become the leading lightweight of the state among the simon-pures and always draws full houses in New Haven. He has been bowling over all opposition in recent months and at the present time finds that Byra Is the only obstacle in his path for a clear road to the title. His opponent, the Capital City slug- ger, is a tough customer for anyone to meet. He has a string of victories to his credit and he expresses a world of confidence that he will be able to beat Gullo in the melec. Because of the great rivalry be- tween the two sluggers, the bout is considered as a “natural.” Both are of the slashing, slugging type and there should be plenty of action when the two clash Friday night. Another which might rightly be termed the semi-final, will be fought between Barney Fox of Terryville, an understudy of Ray Hogan, Terry- ville Terror not in the professional ranks, and Al Gainer of New Haven. Gainer is given' the edge over his Terryville opponent because of his clever style of boxing but word from Terryville comes to the state that boxing will not prevail against Fox's ability to punch. 4 Eight other bouts are in the mak- ing, according to Matchmaker Paul Glickstein who has been placed in charge by the officials of the new fight club. He announced today that the Franco-American club of Water- bury has entered an application for places on the card and this team will meet the New Haven arena team in the remainder of the card. The full card will consist of 10 bouts, the first of which will take place at 8:30 o'clock. The return of the game to this city after the mess of last year, will be welcomed by the fans, Will Allow Mullen to .Stage Another Fight Chicago, Nov. 20 (UP)—James C. Mullen, Chicago fight promoter, will stage another show Friday night atter having been suspended recent- ly for not paying state tax on his fights. He pald up yesterday and was told to go ahead with his plans. Billy Light, 8t. Paul welterwelght, end Gorilla Jones, Akron, will be the principals in the feature bout Friday night.

Hartford will most probably get the third and deciding game in the series being played between the Nutmeg A. C. football team of this city and the Hartford Giants.” New Lritain has been eliminated from the possibilities because of the fact that Memorial Field in Willow Brook park, New Britain's sole foot. Lall field, will be occupied Sunday, The New Britain Blues and the Pawnees, two locgl teams, will meet at Memorial Field Sunday in a game to decide the semi-pro championship of the city. Efforts of Manager Henpy Zehrer of the Nutmegs to have this game shifted to another date were fruitless and for that rea- son, he has no other alternative than lo take his team to Hartford. A definite dccision on the site of the battle will be made today at a conference hetween Manager Zehrer ond Manager Brott of the Hartford team. Although the Hartford man- ager was entirely willing to Mw the third game played here if the > local men won the toss, the refusal of the managers of the two local semi-pro teams to give up the field, forestalls any chance of the gama* being played here. Manager Zehrer stated today that he will have additional men in the backfield this coming Sunday. l.ast Sunday's game convinced him that the team is not equipped with suf. ficient reserve strength. He was not ready at the present time to divulga the names of the players he hopes to secure. Another lineman or two will also be secured for this Sunday in order that more of the players may get a rest. Conklin and Radzewich were both Injurcd last Sunday and although these hurts were not serious, it is doubtful if either will be able to play in the third game. These men will have to be replaced or alter- nates secured for them in case their injuries are aggravated provid- ing they do play. This will be in line with the move of the Hartford man- ager last week iIn getting Johnny Grip and “Zev” Graham for his team. Although, as was expected, Graham didn't do anything, Grip starred for the Hartford team. New Britain fans may rest on the information that the third game will be played at the Velodrome in Hart- ford and they can make their plans accordingly. The game Sunday aft- ernoon will take place at 2:30 o'clock, Mushy Callahan Will Continue Fighting Chicago, Nov. 20 (UP) — Mushy Callahan, Chicago middleweight, is not punch drunk and may go on fighting, a medical board has ruled. He responded satisfactorily to tests, members of the board reported te the Illinois boxing commission, which established a precedent in or- dering the examination. Callahan was suspended two weeks ago. The commission has instructed its sec retary to file a list of boxers whe are supposed to be slightly demented” and have them examined also.
