WL WTHORAN FROM THE A.A U Big Local Club to Take Dras- tic Action To-Day as Result of Trouble Over Swinmiing Races in Madison Square Garden. ‘The New York Athletic Club intends to withdraw its membership from the metropolitan branch of the A. A. U. to-day. This was the gist of a statement made by Matthew P. Halpin, Chair- man of the Athletic Committee of the club, last night in Madison Square Garden when be was informed by Jacob W. Stumpf, Chairman of the Registration Committee of the Metro- politan Association, A. A. Uy that the swimmers of the New York A. C. who had refused to take part in the events at the Sportsmen's Show had been suspended from further com- petition because of their non-appear- ance ' Halpin further stated that he had given the Registration Committee fair warning that if any adverse action, ich as suspénding the -lub’s eth- letes, was en, and the club dis- criminated against in behalf of a professional promoter, an action would be taken which would not argue particularly well for athletes hereabouts. The New York Athletic Club's leader stated that he was not for having his mates put under the ban for any such supposed breach of the rules of the governing body as Stumpf stated they were guilty of, and before he would give the Registration Committee an opportunity to take the further action they promised for to-night he would attempt to clear up the whole matter by placing them outside the pale of the Amateur Athletic Union's juris- diction, In this stand, he stated, ho felt that the whole club was behind him, and at any rate he was sure that his con- tentions to the end promised would be supported by the rest of his com- mittee. The committee of the Winged Foot organization who, if they uphold Hal- pin in his announced stand, will ald in making athletia history, consists of Jeremiah T. Mahoney, ward J. Benson, Powhatan Kobinson, George ever. Arthur MeAleenan, the » incoming Captain of the club, is in rd with the proposed action of Halpin to have his club pull away from the umion, and stated that a similar action was very nearly fulfilled last year when a number of the N. Y. A. C. swimmers were disciplined for competing against — thi uni od Naval Academy team. The men who came under the ban because of their refusal to co! te (which was because of the action by the Swimming Committee of the club) include the organization's star performers in the aquatic line— namely, J. R. Wheatley, James A. Reilly, A. E. Downes, Nicholas Nerich, W. Zimnock and George South. These men had entered the series as Individuals and not according to the club rule, which warrants all entries being made through the club captain.
