AMONG THE AMATEURS.

The recent agitation concerning the reor-
ganization of the Amateur Athletic union
and the proposition that amateur athletics
Of America be divided into divisions, is en-
actly what the Western Association Of Am
ateur Athletes proposed almost year ago
The westerners have refused over and over
again tn amalgamate with the A. A. IT,, but
they have been willing To take care of ath.
letics in the vicinity of the Mississippi river
under the name of the Central or Western
association, and be subservient to the main
body, made up of delegates from the yari-
GUS other divisions or associations which
would be known as Eastern, Middle, South
ern or Northern. The proposed plan calls
for these four or five sections, combining
into general body, which would be the
supreme court of athletics Each section
will manage affairs in the vicinity II repre-
sents, and be entitled TO three delegates to
the general body.

by Sir Edwin Guinness, which will decide
the court championship OF the world. The
contestants will be Thomas Pettitt, OF Bos-
ton, and Charles Saunders, OF England.
The circumstances which have led up to
this match are peculiar Mr.. Pettitt is an
attache of the court built by Mr. ii. ii.
HunnewelI, In Boston, in 1876 This was
the first court In the United States. Mr..
pettitt was one of the first men to become
connected with the Hunnewell court.
Pettitt was born In England, and began
his residence in America in 1876, being one
OF the first attaches OF the Hunnewell
court. lie soon showed his superiority,
and his friends arranged match for him
with George Lambert, the English cham
pion. Pettitt won this match ut Hampton
court, England, in the spring of 1885, and
then defeated nearly every player Of note
In Europe.
After he had returned home, Charles
Saunders, n young English player whom
Pettitt had met and defeated In Europe,
visited America, and played three days
exhibition match with Pettitt, the latter
giving odds of half Is for n bisque. Saund-
ers barely won.
In 1857 Pettitt went TO Europe. lie was

games elsewhere than in Boston, but hs
tried unsuccessfully To get Saunders to
meet him for money.
