There is now no doubt that the amateur
athletic union will become a member OF
the international association. The an
nual meeting OF the a. A. Y. will be held
at New York. at The Astor House next
Monday, and in the opinion OF Secretary
James L. Sullivan there will not be
dissenting voice against the proposition
to JON the international association.
SIR. Sullivan said yesterday that the A.
a. L. would surely become a member OF
tho international association and that he
is confident the next big meeting OF the
association would be held In the United
States. While he considered New York
and Chicago good places TO hold the
games, he thought the event ought TO 20
to Buffalo. where tire Pan-American ex-
position will be in progress next summer
and fall.

Great anxiety is felt for the safety OF

The tug stood by the drifters until Q

per cent. better when she goes UP against

team cannot therefore. be judged by any
game that IL has played this season. The
fact that the northern college will play a
hard. sure game against Brown Is abso-
lutely certain, and IL is on this basis that
the local colleges practice this week Will
be carried on.
The unfortunate thing about last years

Manager Spalding says that the demand

The demand for tickets for the Yale
