GOTHAM ATHLETES
OUT OF BIG MEET
Expenses to Portland Fair
Too Great.
FEW STARS MAY COMPETE
Talk of New York Athletic Club and
Irish-American A. A. Sending
Team West.
FEW STARS MAY COMPETE

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE announce
ment that the Chicago Athletic AsSo-
citation is preparing to send an all
star athletic team to the national cham
pionship meeting of the a. A. L. at
Portland, Ore, has aroused much inter-
est in athletic circles IN this city.
The question is being much discussed
as to what representation the metro
politan district Will have at these games.
At the meet in st. Louis last summer
the New York Athletic Club, and the
Irish-American Athletic Club were rep
resented by strong teams. Followers OF
athletics in this section would like
to see the metropolitan district equally
well represented at Portland. The Ques-
ton of expense, however, is one that
makes the trip one to be well considered.
The Washington times., 1905-07-16
Cost Too Great.

A prominent athletic authority in dis
cussing the question said:
The big clubs of the vicinity would
like to send strong teams to Portland,
but the expense makes them wary. 1t
would take about $3.50 to $1i5 per man to
finance a team to and from the games,
and when ii is considered that we'll
balanced team consists of close to If
teen athletes. the expenses can be readl-
ly appreciated. Probably $500 would
be a fair estimate OF the cost of the
trip. l am inclined to believe that the
n. Y. A. c. and the Irish-American A.
A. will have men entered. but L do
not think the number will be as great
as at other meetings of the past which
were held nearer home.
