The Middle Atlantic Association of
Baltimore which is the legislative body
composed of clubs which withdrew from
the Atlantic Association Of the Amateur
Athletic Union has in contemplation the
holding Of a; least three indoor meets
this season.
One Of these IL proposes to hold in this
city under the direction of the Woodside
Athletic Club. The dates for these events
have not been fixed and it has not been
decided if this city will open the season,
or II its date will be sandwiched in be-
tween the two Baltimore dates. The as
sociati0n last year gave two of the larg-
est and best attended meets ever held in
Baltimore.
This time it is proposed to top all for
mer efforts in every way, just TO show the
Amateur Athletic Union what the So
called split from the parent body can do.
Amateur athletics would be benefited if
these associations could combine their ef-
forts.
a Foreign Shot-Putter's Record.
Another evidence of The necessity for
going about things in the right manner
and in accordance with established rules
and customs. especially in athletics was
shown in the case of Dennis Horgan, Ire
lands greatest shct-putter, who sailed for
home last week a disappointed, but in no
wise disheartened man.
He sailed away with not an American
record TO his name, although he made
many remarkable attempts TO lower exist
ing figures. One of these attempts was
seemingly successful but when the weight
was scaled it was found to be light.
another attempt was an exhibition and
although it was greater than any per-
formRnce recorded. the rules of the A. A.
U. requiring that all records be made in
competition. prevented its acceptance as
6 record.
Now Horgan failed 10 go about things
ie the right way, first. in not reading up
and posting himself and then. in his fail
ure to see that he was properly directed
properly managed. His managers should
have known and warned him of his mis-
takes.
He will probably reach home with a tale
of great unfairness while on this side
whereas the truth is that every one con-
neeted with tine a. A. U. would have been
only too glad to have seen new marks set
by an undoubted master OF a great athletic
sport. He called on Mr. J. E Sullivan
Secretary OF the A. A. u. and bade him
farewell, and whle he did not say so in so
many words. he suggested that he had
made mistake in coming here and indi-
Gated in some OF the remarks he dropped |
why he did not take with him few rec, |
ords. He was well treated while here-a-. |
all foreign athletes are well treated-and
ii is TO be regretted that he did not leave |
In good humor.
