wARR1NG FACTIONS IN THE ATLANTIC AssociA-
T1oN ALLOWED TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFER
ENcEs THEMsELvEs-ALL ALLIED OR
CARNATIONS IN PERFECT ACCORD
Tho annual convention or assembly OF the Anna
teur Athletic Union of America was held at the
Astor House in this city yesterday. IL was ahuei
pated in some quarters that Vexed questions iie"'
cause a disruption among the members OF the
organization or with some OF the allied oodes
The only differences. however. which were not SET
fled 10 the satisfaction OF everybody were the
troubles Of the Atlantic Association and these con-
ditons were such that the delegates consiueieu
that the best thing that could be done was 10 alo"
the warning factions Baltimore and PhiIade'phia
10 settle their differences themselves. Ihe rumors
that difference might crop up between the Union
and the League OF American Wheelmen was SHOWN
TO have been unfounded. and the matter OF discoh-
tinung the alliance between the two organizd'IoiiS
was not even referred to. In fact. the two orsahi
cations are now more closely allied and understand
each other better than ever.
Several Of the Baltimore clubs have been dlssa'-
ished with the Atlantic Association for some time
and a delegation attended the meeting 10 ASK 'hd'
the Atlantic Association be subdvided into the Az
lantc and Southern Atlantic Association. Two Vi
the leading clubs Of Baltimore objected 10 any
division. and. as the Orioles were not uiu ~
the clash the Board Of Governors decided to alo"
the conditions to remain they are. Ihe Atahtio
Association members will now have an opportunity
to hold a meeting and come to an unders'dhui's
or in other words TO fight 1t out among 'heni'
selves Dr. NJ. Hopkinson, OF the Baltimore |'n

ISOLATION
DOUBLE CHAMPIONSHIPS
One of the most important actions taken was
the adoption of a suggestion from secretary SUN
van which will practically double the contests at
the annual championships. Hereafter the cham-
nionsb,ns will be divided into two classes Sc
nior and a ilnlor series. AS soon as a junior mas
captured a contest 1t will make him senior IL"
change is made with the idea OF encouraeihs Youne
athletes in clubs. schools and colleges LIE hide'N
le,rs and Flannagans can continue to capture Sc
nior prizes but they cannot get any OF the Juh'oi
trophies The chances are that the junior con
tests will take place in the morning and the senior
games in the afternoon. ,., ..,~oA for
