FEATURES OF SPORT NEAR AND FAR

Having been unable to Withstand the
pressure upon its waning influence in the
domain of outdoor sport, brought by the
successful career of it's vigorous young
rival, the National Association of Amateur
Athletes of America is no more.
Under the name OF the National Anna
teur Athletic Union, the vigorous young
rival is now the great Legislative athletic
organization of the country. In conse-
quence, harmony and good fellowship
again prevail among amateur athletes,
all of whom will hereafter be on an equal
footing.
This admirable condition of affairs is
due to the adoption last evening by the
A. A.. u. and the N, A. A, A. A. of the
reports rendered to each organization by
its contingent of the Joint Conference
Committee, recently appointed to arrange
for the consolidation of the two assocla-
tons.

on this point, but q complete opinion OF
