NEW YORK. May 4 (By the As-
swiated Press) .—-I-‘ear that the juris-
diction controversy between the Ama-
tour athltic union and the National
collegiate Athletic association. which
'. broke yesterday, will Jeopardizc the
quality of the 1924 American Olym-
pic team. was expressed today by fol-
hwers of athletics.
Net only is the dispute. which con-
hl's around Charlie Paddock. Cali-
fornia sprinting champion. seen as a
trouble maker for the Olympic com-
mittee. but as a wedge of internation-
al proportions that may drive apart
the amateur and collegiate athletic
authorities of Europe which may hurt
their Olympic teams.
Brig. General Palmer F. Pierce.
president of the N. C. A. A.. in an-
nouncing his organization's support of
Paddock in disobeying explicit orders
of the A. A. U. intimated that cells-
giate athletic authorities of the world
may organize an Olympic of their
own. independent of the renewal
planned for Paris next year.
Paddock was refused permission by
the A. A. U. to participate in the
international study tournament in
which he ran yesterday in Paris af-
ter the Californian had appealed from
the general order of the A. A. U. bar-

ring at American ,athletes from par-
ticipating in games abroad this year.
This was in line with the policy of
the Olympic committee which wishes
to concentrate on_ organization of
the 1924 team.
The break came last night when
Frederick W. Rubien, national sec-
retary of the A. A. U.. announced
that Paddock had automatically lost
amateur recognition of that organi-
sation by defying it. It was not until
this statement came. however. that
it was known the N. C. ~A. A. sup-
ported Paddock's stand.
Brig. General said his organisa-
tion had not been formally notified
of the A. A. U.'s objection to Paddock
running abroad. and since the N. C.
A. A. had approved he was not in a
position to comment. But he said
he was surprised at the A. A. U.'s ac-
tl0n as it was his understanding that
the Paris meet had been widely sanc-
tioned.
The A. A. U. ruling also antag-
onized the women's swimming as-
sociation of New York, which intend-
ed to permit Gertrude Ederle. Helen
\Valnwrlght and Aileen Riggin. noted
aquatic performers. to compete in the
British Isles this year. The A. A. U.
banned the proposal. drawing public
criticism of the W. 8. A.

NEW YORK. May 8.——Just at wes—

all-absorbing topic of conversation in
this burg .
With Jess Willard at Yonkers get-
ting in shape for Floyd Johnson. and
Luis Firpo making ready to annihilate
Jack McAuliffe. the pot is boiling
among the big fellows.
Willard certainly looks in great
shape. if he was a younger man by
five or more years, I certainly would
be willing to concede him a line
chance against Dempsey. There isn't
a bit of superfluous weight. on W!!-
lard. He looks to be in the best con»
ditlon of his career.
Some years ago I saw Willard be:

tine condition. I am unable to believe
that he possesses the reserve strength
to take a lacing and go a long way.
it strikes me that Willard must do
the big things in the early rounds of
any fight in which he takes part.
Let us pass up Willll'd and con-
sider his opponent, Floyd JohnsouJD
the heavyweight elimination emair
that is to be staged here llay 13*.

Does Johnson's wallop lack dyna-

His failure to drop Lehman and

pose of Bob Martin. once a highly.
touted contender for Dempsey's title.
Despite the fact that Iartin is only a'
shadow at his former self, fighting

was imprcuive because he showed
promise.
Since then Johnson has beaten a
number of soon heavyweights. A

Johnson is courageous. He showed
me that. However. he lacks e
lance and Willard may upset some of
his plans for a Dempsey meeting.
At present Johnson.wonldn't have a
chance with the champion. He needs
at least a year more of preparation.

Matthews looks more like a college
student than a big ieaguer. He bats
left_ handed, is fast and —:nixes them‘
up at the plate. He can drag. bust!
or take a healthy swing. as the no.
cesion demands.
Mack says Matthews is intelligent
and is troublesome at the plate. He‘-
waits out the pitcher and keeps the
opposition in the air trying to figure‘
