REFORMS IN ATHLETIC UNION
New York Club is Not to he Allowed
to MonOpoIize star At
fractions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-It is stated that
Amateur Athletic union of America the
ment overwhelmingly against it, will make
which will come up for action at the annual
meeting of the union, to be held at the
Astor house, beginning at II o'clock tomor-
row morning. Among the majority of clubs
of the various associations there seems to
be only one object, which is to prevent
the New York Athletic club from corralling
all the leading athletes of the country to
the detriment of smaller clubs that have
not the money to keep in operation a train
Ing table such as Is maintained at Travers
island.
Barlow S. Weeks of the New York club
says he expects the amendments pro-
posed by the legislation committee of the
union to be passed. The amendment most
affecting that club places the same res trio
tons upon col lege athletes as upon others.
This If passed will prevent the club from
getting such star athletes as Kraenzlein,
Grant and others, who do not live in the
metropolitan district.
Those who are pushing the matter say
that the growth of athletics has been re-
tarded by not placing eligibility restrictions
upon college men. 1t Is their opinion that
by requiring every athlete to be an active
member of club at least four months and
a bona fide resident of the district at least
six months before competing, interest in
athletics will not be confined solely to
New York, but will spread throughout the
country, They think also that the sport will
be purified.
