SULLHH TELLS OF
PEIil RELAY RULES
Will Be Observed at Philadelphia
Meet Saturday Along With Other
A. A. U. Regulations
Philadelphia, April 24.—1t is certain
that all events on the bill at the an
nual relay races at Franklin Field,
Saturday, will be run according to
•Hoyle.
James E. Sullivan, who will referee
the events, was a little disturbed over
the criticism of an expert on the man
ner of running the relay races. This
was to the effect that the preparation
of American athletes would be hin
dered by the difference between the
rules to be followed at Philadelphia
and those in use at the last Olympic
games and likely to be in force at the
next.
It was stated that the U. of P. called
for a solid wooden baton ten inches in
length, while at Stockholm a hollow
baton sixteen inches in length was
used; also that the Quaker meet re
quired the men to pass the baton from
one to anather within a distance of
twenty feet, while at Stockholm sixty
feet were allowed in which to make
the transfer.
Mr. Sullivan said the meeting at
Philadelphia would be held under in
tercollegiate rules and not under
A. A. U. rules, also that the A. A. U.
rulo contained no reference to a baton,
short or long, as the A. A. U. method
is to have the men touch off in the
old-fashioned way.
"There is no doubt in my mind,"
continued Mr. Sullivan, "that when
the International Amateur Athletic
federation finally adopts its relay rule
the A. A. U. will change its rule to
comply with it. As a matter of fact
the federation does not call for a baton
sixteen inches long, which your expert
eays was in use at Stockholm, but for
one of thirty centimeters, or twelve
inches. That is only two inches longer
than the one to be used at Philadel
phia, which makes the discrepancy
much less and not likely to affect the
chances of men training for the
Olympics.
"With regard to the distance in
which the baton must be passed there
might be some trouble in effecting a
pass. The meet at Philadelphia will
be the first time this has been tried
here in games of any consequence. It
must be remembered, however, that
when using the touchoff system both
the intercollegiate and A. A. U. events
have been run off successfully with a
leeway of twenty feet. At any rate
those are the intercollegiate rules and
I do not see how the University of
Pennsylvania could run its meet under
nny others."
