RULING ON CASE REVERSED
Resolution of Principals Throw
ing- Down Gauntlet to the
Athletic League.
More trouble is brewing in school athletic
circlet. It turned out yesterday tha' the
High School games committee reversed it
self on a ruling at th^ irregular meeting
on Wednesday, and that in all probability
an appeal *'U1 be made to the games com
mittee of tho Publi.- Schools Athletic
League, which at present is not recognized
by the High School Principals' Association.
It appears that Newton High School,
■which now leads in the tight for the bas
ketball championship, has been using a boy
who had been attending another school.
Permission to do so was asked and grant
ed by the Hii;r. School games committee,
but following protests by De Witt Clinton
and the High School of * "oramerce this rul
ing was reversed.
Bailen i«= the name of the boy in question,
and his ski!; has been largely responsible
for the success of the team.
It also developed yesterday thp.t the High
School gam's committee has the full sup
port of the High School Principals' Asso
ciation in its rebellion against the Public
Schools Athletic League. At a meeting of
the principals on December 3 the gauntlet
was tiirown down by the adoption of the
following resolutions:
j Resolved, That it is the sense of th«
High School Principals' Association that
; the- representatives of the high scnools
derive their powers in high school ath
letics from their principals, and not from
! the Public Schools Athletic League.
« Resolved. That it is the sense of the
: Hi£h School Principals' Association that
I the high school games committee is not,
! and never has been a committee of the
Pvblic Schools Athletic League.
Resolved, That it Is the sense of the
High School Principals' Association that
the high "school games committee was jus
tified in assuming complete jurisdiction
in the Green case, subject to the review
! or the Board of Education or its commit
' tee on athletics.
Resolved. That It is the sense of the High
| School Principals* Association that the
j hi?h school gamps committee was Justified
.in deciding the Green case and awarding
the chamnionship.
i Resolved. That a copy of th«» above res-;
! olutions be sent to the president of the
; Public Schools Athletic Leagrur., the chair
1 man of the hitch school (tames commit
; tee. and the chairman of tbe hi?h school
! committee of the Board of Education.
The Spald.np baseball trophy was for
mally awarded yesterday to the Commer
cial High School by General George \V.
V.'ingate. The boys gathered in numbers,
and cheers rocked the building when the
award was made. Gold medals also were
distributed to members of the winning
team, including Pete Green, the necro
pitcher, acainst whom charges of profes
sionalism were lodged. The disposition of
this case was the cause of tfte present con
troversy in school athletics.
At the annual meeting of the Public
School Athletic League on Thursday an of
fer was made of a gift of ?1,000 from
Colonel Robert M. T!nompeon to defray the
expenses of a bis- set of school games at
Travel* Island next summer.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1910
,/Vofce/ Come* the Auto-Sleigh
Fred Waters Predicts That His Craft Will Run
at Sixty Miles an Hour.
! By Teiesrruph to Tl)« Trioun'-.]
Red Bank. N J.. Dec. 23.— An auto-sleigh
is the latest attraction on the Ice of the
North Shrewsbury River, and the novel
eight is exciting more than ordinary in
terest amone ice yachtsmen.
Frer? Watt-re, who has an inventive turn
of mind, has been working at Intervals day
and night for the last month on this sleigh.
which Is about nine feet in length, weighs
one thoi. pand pounds, and is equipped with
a 10-horsepower air-cooled engine. There
are two runners in the front and back of
the sleigh, while a small wheel in the cen
tre, on which are sixteen steel spikes, pro
vides the motive power.
The driver steers with a wheel, the steer
ing gear, clutch and brakes being manipu
lated like those of an automobile. A rub
ber shock absorber under the seat makes
smooth riding.
GOODMAN IN FAST BOOT
Outpoints Lew Powell After a
Hard. Bitter Battle.
lac k Goodman, the 'West Side lightweight,
; outpointed Lew Powell, of San Francisco.
I in ons of the fastest ten-round bouts ever
seen in this city at the National Sporting
Club of America, last night. Bouts have
been termed as fast, but the contest of last
night was sensational. Boxing of the clev
erest, footwork and in-fighting of the fast
est were exhibited from start to finish, and
when the bell ended the struggle opinion
was divided as to the winner.
; One of the biggest crowds of the season
was on hand, including John A. Murphy.
brother to the owner of the Chicago Cubs,
John A. Urake and Foxhall P. Keene.
Thfi bout was a source of great satisfac
tion to the admirers of Goodman, for the
Wti-st Side youth proved beyond a doubt
ti-.at he can fight when pressed and fight
like fury. He disregarded the blows ot
Powell and had slightly the better of the
majority at the rounds.
Goodman was in perfect condition and
went at top speed from start to finish.
Powell battled furiously at all times, but
did not settle down until the boat was half
over and Goodman had earned an advan
tage ou points that ,va= impossible to over
come.
Goodman hau the better of the early ;
rr.;md>. He beat Powell to the punch and j
made him miss his blows time and again. !
His footwork was almost perfect, and car- j
rled him out of danger time after time, j
His blocking, toe, was good, and many of j
Powells well meant hooks and counters
landed only on a glove or *>lbow. lack's
left hand was a constant source of worry j
to Powell. and«it was not untU late in the j
bout that the Californian perfected any;
adequate defence for st. Jack slammed it j
home through the guard or hooked It over j
or uppercut. it to the face until L«wis was i
cat and bleeding.
! Toward the end of the bout Powell tried
hard and forced the fight, but Jack met
him more than half way at all stages and
j even outslugged the "Westerner when he
was forced to abandon science and skill
and rely on his brawn. He shot home
many a hard hook to the stomach and
blocked with an easy skill which made it
appear as if Powell was not trying.
Trie eighth round was a wild session of
incessant boxing in which Goodman had a
shade the better of It. Jack jabbed his left
to the face, and then shot home a right to
the face. Powell clinched ami hooked two
lefts to the neck and poked his left to the
stomach. Goodman worked out, of the
clinch and landed two lefts, and then
ducked a savage right for the head. A
clinch and some vicious infighting followed,
with honors about even. Powell led his
left for the head, but Goodman stepped
aside and crossed a fearful right to the
head. It was big* and did no damage. A
session of wild in lighting followed, and the
bell found the pair mixing it up in the
centre of the ring.
Powell b^at Goodman up in the sixth
round and closed the latter's left eye with
a right hook. He kept up a constant as
sault on the sore eye. but Goodman came
back more. The last round was a fast
period, with honors even.

Mr. Waters first rigged the sleigh with
two wheels and only one rear runner, but
ff-und in yesterday's trials that there was
less tension on the axle and lighter puling
with the use o? a single wheel, and that he
could steer easier and steadier with two
back runners.
He covered thirty-two miles In an hour
yesterday, but with the changes he says
he will be able to make sixty miles an hour
with little trouble. He is making the neces
sary alterations in his shop at Red Bank,
and will put the sleigh on the ic^ again to
morrow for another spin. He is also put
ting a hood over the engine.
Mr. Waters says the sensation of riding
in his auto-sleigh Is more pleasing than
either in an automobile or on an iceboat,
and that when the engine Is put at high
speed th*> sleigh almost jumps out from
under him.
PLAN AN ACTIVE SEASON
Ranks of Professional Motor
cyclists Growing Rapidly.
Bigser and better things are promised for
moton ycle raoing next season. This prom
ise is held out to followers of the sport in
the constantly swelling ranks of profes
sional motorcycle racers. Professionals are
bobbing up In every state — amateurs and
trade riders who have been tempted bjr
the cash prizes hung up at various race
meets.
With the Increasing: number of profes
sional riders will come larger prizes, the
ranks of the professionals growing In pro
portion to the prizes offered. Now that
the ball has been started. It is expected
to do. some rolling before the end of next
season, and that the summer of ISO. will
find a great body of active professionals
In competition for prizes that an* really
worth while.
This increase in professionalism is viewed
with favor by officers of the Federation
of American Motorcyclists, President Fred
I. "Willis, of Indianapolis, having no hesi
tancy in giving the professional his ap
rrova!.
r "It will not be Ion?, ta my opinion." said
1 President 'Willis, "before there will be a
j great number of professional riders In the
iF. A. BE. rank?. A grpat many people
all over the country, particularly the best
people who are interested in athletios, and
members of the Amateur Athletic Union,
have a great horror of professionalism in
sport. I. myself, have no use for the pro
fessional athlete. But motorcycle racing is
a different proposition. The initial cost of
The machine and its upk°«r for racing
purposes will make a big hole every year
in ELSO*. The initial cost to the athlete of
his machine is nothing— because his Tna
chtae' is hi? own body. And, further, the
upkeep is very little in addition to what
his regular Joard bill would be. Therefore
thp poorest man <~an become an expert
athlete without expenditure of money or
waste of time, and there is no reason why
be should take money for what he does.
"Motorcycle racing is a business and a
pr^fpsslon m Itself, ani I cant see why
a man should be held In disregard for mak
ing his living in this way any more than
he should be held in disregard for making
a living by repairii:«? motorcycles or manu- I
facturing them."
MORRIS HIGH GUNNERS WIN

CHESS FIGHT GOES ON
Columbia Takes Lead When Yale
Defeats Harvard Team.
TIGERS IN DIRE STRAITS
- #
Deserted by One Player, the
Princeton Four Loses All
Hope for Trophy.
Yale defeated Harvard by a score of 2
; games to 1 in th« second round of the nine
i teenth annual intercollegiate chess tourna
j ment at the West Side Republican Club, in
| this city, yesterday, and thereby avenged
; the defeat sustained in. the annual match
on ten boards at New Haven on the eve of
the big football match. This upset made
it possible for Columbia to take a strong
lead in the fight for the trophy, as the New
; Yorker?, helped as they were by a for
! felted Batn» at the top board, experienced
! no difficulty in defeating Princeton, by the
score of 3 to 1. the same score by which
they downed Yale on th* opening day.
Columbia will meet Harvard In the final
I round, beginning at noon to-day, and if the
' figures here given are any criterion they
. appear to spell certain victory for the
Morningside Heights players.
Before play started yesterday morning:
! announcement was made that Princeton
■ would be minus one player In consequence
j of the departure for the South of L. M.
j Bament, who had played first board on
" ! Thursday. As a result of his withdrawal.
| Princeton forfeited one game, and an un
earned victory went to the credit of C. H.
; Ramsdell, of Columbia.
S. H. Childs, fourth board, for Columbia,
i was the first to bring: his game with Ken
1 j yon, of Princeton, to a conclusion, winning
by means of a brilliant coup in the middle
stage, which netted him a rook. There
after he was at the Columbia player's
mercy, the latter scoring after thirty-four
| moves.
Captain J. B. Beadle was again to the
j fore in behalf of Columbia, and succeeded
; in defeating Shafer. of Princeton, at the
! third table. Beadle succeeded in driving a.
i pawn to the seventh row. thus forcing his
! opponent to give up a piece. Beadle tallied
in fifty-one moves.
E. L. Gluck, second board, for Columbia,
was again defeated, and, as on Thursday,
he owed it to impetuosity. Gluck took the
initiative at an early stage and in the
T course of play sacrificed a rook for the at-
I tack. Later he had an opportunity to draw
| by perpetual check, but disdained it. Van
' Vllet placed the game in the Princeton col
| umn after forty-four moves.
The hardest fight of the round was be- |
tween J. R. Chandler, of Yale, and John- j
i son. of Harvard, the Yale man finally win
' ning a well played ending after seventy
j eight moves. Chandler started out none-
I too well, losing a pawn at an early stage. ■
j This he recovered by dint of hard work, i
i and he captured another into the bargain. ]
! "With this advantage and with a bishop
against a knight he entered the end game,
which he handled in excellent style.
Captain Byerly. of Harvard, saved his
side from being- blanked ' and administered
defeat to Hooker, of Yale, who had been
the only one to score for New Haven in the j
: first round. Byerly captured a pawn in the
morning session, and, although his own
pawns were somewhat disorganized, he
nursed his advantage until the end, scor
j Ing after forty-seven moves. At the forty
i fourth move Hooker missed a chance of
i queening his pawn, which might have ,
j enabled him to make a better resistance.
G. Burgess, Bishop Burgess's son. won |
| for Yale at the seventh board against Had
| ley, of Harvard, the game lasting thirty
; four moves. After winning one of his op- j
: ponent's pieces, Burgess had everything ;
; his own way.
E. E. Steams, of Yale, defeated Harris, !
1 of Harvard, in a hard struggle lasting* |
fifty moves. The Cleveland player sue
: ceeded in winning a pawn in the opening !
I and doubled this advantage in due course. !
i It was a long, hopeless struggle on the j
j part of Harris.

ONE YEAR FOR OLDFIELD
Not in Jail, but Under the Ban of
Auto Body.
LAST CASE TOO FLAGRANT
Promotion of Unsanctioned
Meeting* at Los Angeles Cause
for Further Suspension.
Once more Barney Oldfield, the daring:
automobile driver, has incurred the dis
pleasure of the contest board of the Ameri
can Automobile Association, and has been
punished again. This time the suspension
is for a definite time— a period of twelve
months, to and including January 1. 1312.
This suspension, as the former ones. In
cludes his cars, and prevents him from en
paging in the sport of automobile ra •::.<
as promoter, owner, entrant or driver.
This action has been taken by the con
test board because Oldfleld sought relief
from his former indefinite suspension in
the courts and because he organized and
promoted an unsanctioned automobile race
meeting In Los Angeles on December 11.
The ban of suspension also Includes a; I
contestants at that meeting, and In some
cases this suspension lays for two years
against them.
The officials are suspended also, and may
not take part in any sanctioned meeting
for a year; and to make the matter abso
lutely binding and final the action of the
board will be reported to the International
authorities, so that the men against whom
the suspension Is operative may not race
on foreign tracks which are affiliated with
the American Automobile Association.

the contest board, held at th national
headquarters of the association, at No. 437

decisions of a sport-governing body; and

PUTTER A LIVELY ISSUE
Wore Golfers Have Their Say on
Mooted Question.
OPINIONS DIFFER WIDELY
Western Club Said To Be in
Favor of Following- Lead of
Old St Andrews.
j Now that pome metropolitan golfer? '-*•*+
•declared th-mselves either for or against,
the ruling of old St. Andrews on the mal
let-headed putter, the controversy Is spread
ins. According to a Philadelphia critic. on«
outcome of the saltation may be that jo:?
era here .— likely to ask for a r»r>r»i«st*.
tlve advisory hoard to work in conjunetitra
with the Scottish committee, not appoiiit«d.
! but elected on a territorial basis.
Several of ■" leading Philadelphia play
ers have been asked to express themselves
on the putter question, -•: the net result
shows that, as In New York, opinion Is «
j vided. A. W. Tlllinghast eaya:
I must confess that I do not approve it
the law. but at the .same time I resrret IBM
I St. Andrews should deem it necessary to
. rush to a conclusion without at least a mi
nority opinion from this country- As to th*
■ clubs used in the pam». I have always con
; tended that should all players limit them
, selves to a common type. the more nearly
j would results represent pure skllL.
Howard Perr:n. winner of the Quaker
j City championship on several occasions, •■
another who does not approve "of the St.
Andrews action. Schenectady putters ar»
j not In the freak class, he thinks. H. .B.
i McFarland stamp?" the action of the rules*
i committee of the Royal and Ancient Club*
i as ridiculous.
i A Western man writes In part as follows*)
I do not believe that th* rules are any
, where near perfect, and have never minced
words in so statins', but one set of rule*
is far better than several sets. If any one*
is relying on Western votes to bring about.
the forecasted split with St. Andrews he is
going to get badly left You will find after
the votes are counted that the Western
i clubs will be with C. B. MacdonaM and for
harmony and compromise. 3 H. :?rra-vri
I can control all the Chicago clubs, and a.
j few more of us west of here. That will
; give those who think one cod* the beet
! fifteen out of the seventeen Western clubs.
This leaves only the two Plttabur? cluB»
not accounted for.
Continuing to discuss the question. Leigh
ton Calkins, president of the " Piatnfiett
j Country Club, says that he was partly n:is
quoted in yesterday's Tribune. He say»
j in a letter received last nigrht:
In my talk yesterday I did not mean -•-»
give the impression that I would favor a.
i new national association in the event that
r the United States Golf Association adopt?
the St. Andrews rule. What I meant to say,
I was that I would have a great deal morm
! sympathy with a movement tor a new as
j sociation than I ever have had, because I
■ never have had any.
I would, however, continue to work in ta»
; interests cf the United States Golf As-
I sociation for the purpose of effecting *.
I change of sentiment; but I would work:
1 within the United States Golf Association,
and outside.
Ido believe, however, as I told youv «at
if the United States Golf Association,
follows St. Andrews there will be a snlit
in thi3 country, and the Garden City jo * '
Club and other clubs takins similar action.;
will be responsible for the deplorable re
sult. -' • :;
There is one thing which I said in my.
' address at the Plalnfleld Country Ct«S>!
meeting which all of the newspapers seem
to have left out. and which is of coo- j
siderable importance, because it show* •
that I deplore the necessity of takirtsc ;
issue with St. Andrews. My susxsstion;
was that the United States Golf Asso
ciation, at its annual meet!" vote not!
to accept the St. Andrews rulins at th* !
present time, bur instruct the secretary •■» '
write St. Andrews requesting- then to hold
the new rule in abeyance at least until
we have had a chance to present our argu- ,
ments against it. In other words, I be- !
lieve in giving St. Andrews a. Chinee to '
reconsider before we break aw?. But.
most emphatically, if they decide to b*
dictatorial. I. with equal empnasist, shall
support any honest effort within the United \
States Golf Association to har» ocr own;
rules.
