Plea o. ADMISSION OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS TO BERSHIP.

neFEeles,s Crack Athletes CARR on the HOn-
ora at Hudssn-Chnmpion ChrtStensen on
for n Eurspean OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or
the Local and National Associations.
Athletics arc practically dead at the schools
in the New York and Long Island interscholas-
tic districts. The national championship ter
minated tho outdoor season, and after many
months OF consistent training the track teams
broke ranks. II was a welcome change for the
boys. Athletically the season has been a most
successful one. Many records have been
broken, remarkable performances have been
made and altogether a standard has been estab-
lishod Of which the youngsters may we'll be
proud. But the games have not been patron
izod as we'll as in former years. There was .
gond-sizcd crowd at the local championships but
at tho national championships only a mere hand
full Of spectators showed UP.
The attendance question has done much to
strengthen the cause of the admittance of public
school athletes to membership. Harry Cornish
OF the Knickerbocker A. @. 10 one OF the most
ardent supporters of the movement. He says:
think It q splendid idea to permit the pub
lie school athletes to compete, not only in tho
national Championships, but also in the local
scholastic meetings. In Boston several public
high schools are members of tho New England
Intcrscholastic League, and they get many fine
athletes from that source. Properly governed,
the public school athletes would eventually be
as strong MS tho present New York Interscho-
| lastic Association. Should it be deemed mex
pedient to admit the public schools to member
ship in the present association. they could hold
their own championship meeting, and n dual
competition between the athletes of the two
associations would prove very interesting.
Those who are interested In the matter should
call q meeting now to form an association so as
to be prepared in the fall"
p. H.. Christensen, the crack miller. Of Berke-
Icy School. sailed for Europe last Wednesday.
He intends to make a tour OF Scandinavia and
Germany. occasionally competing in some OF
the games. Christensen Is accompanied by W..
H.. Grace OF the Knickerbocker A. c. Together
they will tuko partin tho English and German
championships Before no sailed Christensen
said that he expected to return to this country
in September. He attributed much Of his own
and Berkeley Schools success during the past
season to the competent manner In which
Trainer Ernie Hertzberg, the veteran runner Of
the Now Jersey A. c., handled him and the team.
The National Interscholastic Athletic Asso-
citation held its annual meeting at the rooms Of
the Knickerbocker Al c. on Friday night. Juno
10. There was a heated time over the election
Of officers for the ensuing year. and when the
New England delegates had found out that their
candidate had been defeated for President they
left the room. This caused quite a commotion,
but a quorum still being present, the election
went on and resulted as follows: G. P. Smith.
New Jersey I.A.A.. President; D. H. Browne, Now
York L. A. A., Secretary; II. c. Remington,
lew England 1. A. A., Treasurer. The latter's
not to have Vice-President. The idea OF al
lowing regularly or Ranizod athletic associations
of public schools to become member was dis
cussed but laid over. 1t was decided to hold the
noxt meet in New England. .
