ers-The Coneorsiia Clubs Contests
AT the annual meeting of the Amateur
Athletic Union held in New York las
Monday. the Representatives of the Mid
die Atlantic States Association were
given a lengthy and respectful hearing
The clubs represented were the Maryland
Athletic Club, Druid Athletic Club. ant
Druid Outing Club of Baltimore. ant
Woodside Athletic Club, of this city.
The petition presented prayed for re
districting of the Atlantic Division of the
Amateur Athletic Union, so that the
clubs added to the Baltimore end Of the
union might have a fair representation il
the conduct of its business.
But alas, and alack, the Board of Gov.
errors of the Amateur Athletic Union
couldn't or wouldn't see it that way, and
as a personal affront. They seemed to
feel that to grant the application would
be to countenance disloyalty to the Union
and would be reflection upon the pres
ent officers of the Atlantic Association.
The insurgents. as the Amateur Ath-
letic Union calls them, are the petition
ers, and they certainly deserve better
treatment at the hands of the Amateur
Athletic Union officials, who are seeing
to it that they are reelected forever and
aye and that no one dares trespass uron
their preserves.
The petitioning body did what the At
lantic Association has not done before in
Baltimore and vicinity in four years. and

separate sets of open games last year.

territory. II has caused the organization

good. that IT can very well go 1t aloae.

encourages dry rot and will finally cry
up and blow away.

Athletics at Y. VI. c. A.
Notwithstanding its lack Of regular
pracriee and professional coaching, the
Y. NJ C. A.. football team has made
good showing on the season. Mcqueen
at end and Bielaski at right guard have
played their positions in clever manner
and their work has helped materially to
land several games. Smoot is new man
at centre but he holds his end up well.
Stanley at left tackle is learning to
tackle properly. and nearly always lands
his man. Morley in another season Will
make a good fullback. IS.
The team was unfortunate in losing
twice to the Mount Peasants. but they
hope to redeem their laurels in part in
another game, which is now being ar
ranged.
