It is claimed by those at the head Of the
1 movement that the new athletic associa-
/ ticn with headquarters in Baltimore is
/ proving success far beyond their ex!s eta
/ tions
! Ii viii be remembered that several
months ago when the Atlantic Division of
the Amateur Athletic Union held its an
nual election several of the Baltimore
| clubs, feeling that they had been unfairly
| treated in the distribution Of offices. with
drew from the meeting and filed protest
| with the parent body, at the same time
| asking relief The protest was returned 20
! the seuders with the suggestion that they
/ get relief from their division association.
! This, Of course, they did not get, and as a
result designations followed, and the new
! organization sprang from the concerted eff
! forts of those who fathered the movement.
and who claim to have the interest of anna
! teur sport really al heart
The Atlantic division Of the A. A L. has
/ not been at all active in atheetics in the
! past fiye or six years. The field is a good
/ one, including as It does Delaware and its
/ active little towns. Baltimore and other
! Maryland cities and this city and Ports
/ mouth and Norfolk. The new organization
/ viii be known as the Middle States Ath-
| letic Association" and it is claimed by
! the promoters that they include in their
/ lists nearly every one of several hundred
! really active track and field men in the
cities named and that the strength OF the
association win be shown in a big indoor
/ meet to be given at Baltimore late in the
coming month
As the association is not allied with any
| other similar organization its members.
/ when they compete for honors will win on
y championships of their association and
cannot compete for open championships in
! the a. 4. L. unless they retain or secure
/ membership or registration in the latter
! organizations, ZOO.
There are several organizations in this
/ city which belong to the A. A. L., and
/ which have been approached upon the sun
! 1ect OF joining the new association, but /
! is very doubtful If they Will seek imme-
date membership therein unless they are
assured that the association will he re o.
nized By the A A. L. or the number Of
clubs here who are not affiliated with The
A a. L. several have under consideration
the inducements held out by the new asso-
4 citation regarding a membership therein
| As the new organization has promised to
/ create and revive an interest in ata.e
/ IN its bailiTick, il has a large following
| even outside Of clubs who wish for it every
I success in its undertaking.

games with the Saengerbund. The asao-
/ citation team has won thirt5en games and
4 lost hve, with percentage OF .T72, with
! which ii holds first place. Its next neag-
/ est competitors are the CAROLS and Golden
Eagles, tied for Second place, with $50 p1r
cent. The loss Of a game or two woU

are taking plenty Of practice, and promise
20 make it interesting for the sturdy
Saengers.
The frs game scheduled By the Basket
