MEREDITH CASE A PUZZLE
Whether "Ted" Meredith Is eligible to
tun for Pennsylvania and the Meadow
brook Club on the samo night is the ques
tion which will now have to bo solved by
the Amateur Athletic Union officials.
Opinions on tho matter differ. President
Alfred J. 1.111. of the A. A. U.. has In
stigated tho point against Meredith and
will work to havo him disqualified at the
Boston Athletic Association games next
month if Meredith attempts to run for
Penru President Llll asserts Meredith
by virtue of having represented )tho
Sfeadowbrook Club In open Barnes of the
A. A. U. this winter Is not eligible to
run for the varsity In open competition.
60 far the A. A. U. rule on this point Is
clear. President LIU is right on this
point. However, when he says Meredith
will not be permitted to compete for the
local institution on tho samo night that
he represents the Meadowbrooks Is a dif
ferent matter. Tho strict Interpretation
of the rule, in the opinion of tho writer,
la that Meredith may compete for both
organizations on tho somo night If he
cares. That is, one of the raceB must bo
a closed one. For example, the two-mile
relay race at the B. A. A. games has
been advertised clearly ns one "closed"
to colleges. Therefore, Meredith is per
mitted by amateur law to go Into that
race a closed one represent his varsity,
nnd then later. If he cares to, wear the
colors of the Meadowbrooks. As a mat
ter of fact, "Ted" has said he does not
Intend to run two races that night, and
thus the matter, ends bo far as he Is
concerned. The A. A. U, has the point
to settle. The meaning of the rule la a
bit ambiguous, and It will be well if the
legislation Committee clarify It. It Is
just another of those pujiles which has
given the Officials' Club of Philadelphia
. chanco to display Its tatent. Let's hear
from some of the Officials' Club members
on this point.
"All About I"
There's a new series of articles being
attributed to "Jesa" WUIard, a cow
puncher, who Is scheduled to aot as a
punching bag for one "Jack" Johnson.
They aro entitled "All About I." He has
manufactured more alibis than any fighter
In the world, and the fight lias not taken
place yet. Hero's only one sample. "If I
ouffer defeat at the hands of Jack John,
eon, no ono ever will hear a chirp out of
ine. Then and there I will be through the
flshtine game." Evidently friend "WUIard

Spntola Fights Back
"Johnny'' Spatola, who Is well known
In local ring circles ns manager of
"Tommy" Howell, sont In quite a lengthy
letter today emphatically denying that
ho had glvon up Howell, or that Hon ell
had thrown him "over." Spatola asserts
that ho nnd Howell aro Just ns thick as

sumo chargo of Howell will find a tough
proposition on his hands. So there!
Connlo Makes a Hit
The acquisition of Larry Lnjolo by tho
Athletics looks to bo another stroke of
Mncklan genius. Nnturnlly, nfter dis
posing of Edillo Collins, Connlo Mack
needed another second baseman. It was
generally supposed by those supposed to
bo In close touch with tho Athletic af
fairs that Blllv Kopf wouldn't bo tho
man for tho place. But Maok, desplto
the repeated stories to tho effect that
thero would bo nothing to tho American
League pennant raco In 1318 but tho Red
Box, was on tho Job as Usual. Ho de
cided that tho Itcd Sox would not bo
tho only club In Ban Johnson's league
with a regular team, desplto all rumors
and prognostics to tho contrary There
fore, lcmemberlng thnt tho Naps had
asked waivers on Larry Lajolo last sum
mer, Connie betook himself to Cleveland
nnd. In conferenco secret with Somers,
completed quickly and quietly the no
gotlntlous for the purchaso of Lajoie.
As n technical export of tho sccond-basc-posltlon,
thero Is not a man In tho coun
try, not even tho brllllnnt Eddlo Collins,
who can show any more knowledge than
Lajolo. This fact not only insures the
Athletics a second baseman extraordinary
for 1915, but for tho years to come, bo-
pnliwn. lllf TTnri-v TVnvIn T.nt-i-v In nrlv
I and willing to teach his understudy all
1 ho knows about tho playing of his posi
tion and a Mtlo more on tho Bide. Thore
fore, when Larry has finished with his
playing careor with tho Athletics ho will
havo doveloped somo ono nblo to take
his plnco Just ns Harry Davis developed
Mclnuls, Stuffy Mclnnls. Lnrry's under
study Is sure to bo Billy Kopf, nnd when
that youngster has learned all of tho do
tails of tho game from a man of 'Lajolo's
experience, he will bo qualified to tako
IiIh place with the best of them.
Lajolo's return to Philadelphia after an
absence of 13 years Is a sourca of pleasure
to every ono Intoiestcd In tho Athletics,
In Lajolo himself and in baseball, nnd It
Is to bo hoped that Larry will measure
up to tho standards which tho fans aro
euro to set for him.

itf IS'IS p. w. vestcrdaif when
Mack told me M wanieA me em if
ciifb. At 1SHB I ta a member of
hl club I'm delighted over the deal.
1 hate to leave Cleveland. I have
thousands of friends here. 'I have
spent the happiest hours of mV life
In Cleveland. The people of Ofet'C
lanrJ hai-e 6e3 rcneroin ttnrl ffoort
to me, thouoh t feel that It is for the
Merest of everv one concerned for
me to go to Philadelphia, vet it
hurts a trifle to think of leaving
Cleveland.
J to with onli good wishes for
those whom I am leaving. There are
no hard feelings between milsclf and
any one on the Cleveland Club, even
though there have been decided dl
fcrencs of opinion on many subjects
in late years. In all sincerity I wish
that She Cleveland Club Is as suc
cessful as I hope to be, and that If
our club, wcrwOif fftc Athletics,
doesn't win the pennant, that the
Cleveland team will.
The thought of returning to the
city where J secured my real start
In life gives me some satisfaction.
There's no place to which I would
lather go. In fact, Philadelphia,
liaston and JVcto l'orfc are tho only
cities tn f7ic pountry to which I
would have consented to go.
