Reinstated

Petkiewicz. "Diplomatic courier of the Polish State Department ... his expenses in the U. S. are defrayed by the Polish Government. . . ." So ran a letter from the Polish minister, signed by V. Podoski, First Secretary of the Polish Legation. Read to the Amateur Athletic Union in Manhattan last week, it caused the Executive Committee--now puzzled only to know why he had never told them he was a diplomat--to rescind its debarment of Stanislaw Petkiewicz (TIME, Jan. 13), and give him permission to run in those U. S. meets in which his entering has not yet been announced.

Browne. National woman tennis champion in 1912, semifinalist in the national tennis championship twelve years later, finalist in the national golf championship the same year, Mary K. Browne earned some money in 1926 by touring the country in exhibition tennis with Suzanne Lenglen. Because of this the U. S. Golf Association decided that she could not play golf as an amateur. Last week, influenced by a petition signed by 50 women, including Champion Glenna Collett, the Golf Association reinstated her. Said Miss Browne: "That's what makes this thing so fine, to know that the women really wanted me reinstated. I can't tell you how much I think of Glenna--she has been splendid, and I know she is responsible for that petition."
