SuLLIVANS ATHLETIC MESSAGE.
President OF the 4. 4. 4. Points Out Need
Of intercollegiate Gov erning Body.

IN a long letter defining his policy and the
vital needs OF the Amateur Athletic Union.
James L. Sullivan, the newly elected presi-
dent, among "A lot OF things touches on the
state Of college athletics and its connection
with the A. A.. L.. He urges some radical
changes for the good of college sport and the
formation Of one great national association
to govern tho East, West, North and South.
He sayr.
From an athletic standpoint to-day the
colleges lack organization. There IL too
much of a desire on the part of each college
to play in its own back yard and go il. alone.
As a matter of fact the only sport to-day at
college which is properly conducted is that
Of track and field athletics. but IL is only
controlled in spots. We have the interCol-
legiate \. \. \. \. composed of the largest
colleges IN America in the East. They con-
troll sport, track and field, but their right TO
claim control of college sport In America Is
disputed, as We have ~ the central West the
big Conference OF Colleges controlling athletics
among themselves and in a healthy manner.
Then We have college organizations in New
Englau nd and in the South. But We have not

Such an association VIII be built 1t has got

through the college representatives now on
its board, must work for such an association"
Regarding the summer baseball player
Mr.. Sullivan SAYS:
The words summer ball pla yer' are coined
and are merely substituted for the profess
sional ball player because the man who
asks about his status as a summer ball player
is invariably "A professional. And as the
term IL understood IL il one who Is getting
paid for playing ball or one who plays
with a professional ball player. Word comes
10 us that some colleges will permit profession
ais to play on its cams. such colleges should
be banished from amateur competition.
II they want professional sport let them
have It, and play among themselves. Such
colleges or athletes from such colleges should
not be recognized by any association of the
4. 4. T.. as amateur clubs. 4 college man
has a right to take money-he has a right to
be a professional-but he should not pose as

Regular Nominations wnl Ne Posted To-
dAy-HnubOld for Captain.

The New York A. c. members who will
visit the clubhouse at Central Park South this
afternoon will have a chance to study the
regular ticket on the bulletin board. IL will
be the same as that published exclusively in
II SUN of Thursday last, with a sli ght adj
dition-that of the Office Of captain. which
had not been finally arranged at that time.
y, r. Haubold Is the regular nominee for
the office and Gibson $, Whitson has been
renominated on the governing board for an
other term of two years. When Haubold
was first spoken of for captain he intimated
that he could hardly find the time to devote
TO the post. but il was understood that II he
did not accept the captaincy he would go ON
the board of governors anyway. Finally he
consented to be captain and whitson was
nominated on the board. He is a member OF
the building and finance committee in char We
OF the Travers Island new house and it was
only natural that he should have a seat In the
board for another term.
After the ticket had been made known 10
Immediately put the different ~coteries on
their mettle. Thu names pleased some. while
others said it was all wrong and a weak selec-
ton. The friends OF Alfred II. Curtis. and
they are many. would be pleased TO see him
al the head of the list and not a few have sug-
gcsted that he place himself in opposition to
kuhlke. There IS a TumOr afoat that the
nominating committee never offered the
presidency TO Curtis AZ all. However, the
situation has become very interesting and the
ticket with "A probable opposition Is the only
subject in the mouths Of those keen on the
clubs politics.
The real possibilities OF an opposition havs
narrowed down as the time wears on to a
peculiar situation. Al the last moment
Curtis may run on the opposition with J. u.
Haslin as n mate for the vice-preeidency.
This would mean one OF the stiffest fights in
the clubs history. Then III Curtis runs Stow
will withdraw, but friends OF Stow say that
II, Curtis does not run STOW will face the music
alone.
Isaac Bell Brennan, who acted previously
on the nominating committee and Is q promi-
nent member of the club. gave John r. Muir,
one OF the present nominatOrs. n piece OF his
mind last night. Brennan and his friends are
displeased with the ticket and they make no
secret OF the fact.

Columbia scored four points 10 the second

intercollegiate chess tournament. played
yesterday at the rooms of the West Side Re-

doubt. In fact they need only to score ons
more game to-day OF TO draw two games
in order to secure the coveted trophy.
