EFFORT TO RESTORE
HARMONY n
ATHLETICS
Former President Sullivan Of
A, A, b, Believes Present Day
Controversies viii Result in
Broader and Cleaner Sport,


"''' WV
New York. Dec. S0.-Rarmony out
, OF discord and more compact organic
alton out OF disruption, "A new national
n International birth for sport, is
what James E.. Sullivan, former pres
ident of the A, \. o., believes the flu
ture holds in store.
All these controversies. he said
today, referring to the breach be-
tween the east and west in golf, ten
mis-, skating and some of the lesser
departments of national sport, ARE
much to be regretted, but mark this.
They will all result in a cleaner and
broader basis for athletics in this
country"
Although the winter has seen much
dissension. it is Mr.. S|ullivan's firm be-
lief that the present sectional divi-
sion of sports will constantly broaden
toward the national idea. And one
necessity to effect this growth, he
holds, is a supreme court of appeals in
all sport.
There are three or four million
people in organized athletics Of all
sorts in this country aid Nj. Sulli-
van, and the enter OF that athletic
population is constantly moving vest
ward. Thirty years ago II was con-
eentrated in and around New York,

1t was evident at the headquarters
of the Eastern Amateur Skating asso-
citation today that there was much in
dignation over a report from Chicago
that the International Skating union
had eliminated it from the governing
body OF skating.
THAT announcement is premature"
said Presiden j. c. Hemment of the
Eastern assoc. alton.
Mr.. .Hemment took the position that
the whole dispute which has now de-
veloped into a fight originated in the
alleged failure of Edmund Lamy. the
skating champion, to pay 20
cents registration fee in the Eastern
association. The act that the
association has broken off re-

Though the tennis and eofr situa-
ions have developed no new phases in

eaders say, that the breach between I
and west is wide. Especially il

the fact that the town has such bright future pros

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

Champ Clark of Missouri, Demo-
cratic leader in the house of repre-
sentatives, believes the prospects for
his party in congress are most prom
Using because of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. Writing in the September
Van Norden magazine. he figures it
out thus:
In the F'ifty-ninth congress the Re-
publicans had a majority in the house
of ia. In the Sixtieth congress they
had a house majority of So. In the
present house their majority is only
AZ. So that even blind man can see
that the current runs against them.
Holding all the seats that we now
have, we must gain only "a in order to
control the next house.
Surely the tariff fiasco ought to give
us not only "a seats now held by Re-
pub1icans, but twice "a. Indeed, the
Payne-Aldrich bill Is such a defiance
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1909-09-01

of public opinion, such a thwarting of
public desire, that we ought to have
as big a majority in the Sixty-second
congress as we had in the Fifty-sec-
ond, when even New England sent
more Democrats than Republicans to
the house, as fruits of the Mckinley
bill. History has a strange and in
structive way of repeating itself.
A few figures may serve to elucidate
the situation, and here they are: There
are 10 Republican members whose
pluralities range below 1000; nine
whose pluralities are below 1000 and
above 1000, and eighteen whose -plu-
ralities are below 5000 and above
1000. That makes 46 all told. With
the current running against them, not
a man jack of the 46 is certain of re-
election. When they think of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and then of
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, 1910, the cold chills
creep up and down their spinal col
umnS.
One other thing is quite likely to
help US in 1910. In any event the SEN
ate will remain Republican till 1918.
When the benehciaries of the Payne
A1drich bill reflect upon that fact and
upon the further fact that they will
hold the White House till March 4,
1918, they may conclude that there is
no sense in squandering their wealth
in electing a Republican house in
1910, and therefore leave Republican
candidates to paddle their own canoes.
Democratic prospects are improving
every hour.
