Dire threats were made that Paddock would not be allowed to accompany the next Olympic expedition of the American athletes to Paris. Thompson’s View Recently on the coast, it was printed that Col. Robert M. Thompson, president of the Olympic committee, was inclined to think Paddock was guilty only of a political offense, if any, and that he was eligible for the Olympic team. Aroused, the New England association of the A. A. U.. sought to learn if Colonel Thompson knew what kind of a track “criminal” Paddock was and to ascertain if the Olympic committee proposed to supercede the authority of the A. A. U. in parsing upon tho eligibility of athletes. As far as can be learned here. Colonel Thompson is keeping his opinion to himself. Case to Come Up The National Collegiate Association, which has some ideas at variance with the A. A. U., on the selection and management of the track and field team. Intends to take up the case of Paddock at the annual meeting in Atlanta and ask t,he reasons for the suspension of Paddock. In the annual meeting of the A. A. U., in Detroit, the president's report aocused Paddock of being a professional because he was making money on a lecture tour and it charged his expense account from the Antwerp Olympics never had been balanced. Paddock is worried about the case, but he need not worry about his chances for making the Olympic team. No politlcial difference with the A. A. TJ. Is sufficient cause to keep the world's champion sprinter off the team. SIO,OOO for Omaha Hurler By Times Special OMAHA. Dec. 20.—The New York Yankees have purchased Pitcher N.
