MISS DIDRICKSON’S STATUS NOW A PROFESSIONAL. Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, December 12. The Amateur Athletic Union (national division) has informed the Australian Press Association that Miss Didrickson has forfeited her amateur status following her derision on Dcember 12, 1932, to turn professional. She had then won the right to reinstatement as an amateur following her disqualification by the A.A.A. on December 5, 1932, on a charge that she had permitted her photograph and an interview to be used in an automobile advertisement. She denied that the advertisement was authorised by her. The denial was accepted and her reinstatement followed. She, however, turned professional as a direct result, as she said, of the controversy. At the present time she is touring the country with a professional basket ball team.
