This Section of the Amateur Athletic Union-Frst
Time List Has Ever Been Compiled
By JOSEPH TOWNSEND ENGLAND,

The Handicapped Of the South Atlantic
Association Of the Amateur Athletic
Union has frequently been asked for
the track and field records of the as
sociatiou
An examination Of these marks reveal
ed that the best performances were in
an extremely chaotic and uncertain
state. This may possibly have resulted
from confused ideas Of some Of the
marks formerly awarded as State rec
Ords by the old MARYLAND board of rec
ordS- while those who remember the vi
cissitudes of the old Middle Atlantic AS
SociaJion and its sharp. but interesting
encounter with the so-called 'insurgent'
body, which mostly drew its strength
from Maryland. may find in this some
reason for the confusion OF the records.
II has been my aim to put this matter
in as accurate a shape as possible, and
invite criticism from all registered ath-
leteS. as 10 the correctness of any per-
fOrmances hereinafter set forth. As for
the plan adopted and the classification
secured. this has only been decided up
on after careful consideration of its
feasibility by those most interested in
A. a. Z. affairs in New York. chief
among which has been James Sullivan,
a former president Of the A A. T.,
whose advice has been most helpful at
all times.

Examine Programs.

The compilation itself has required A
careful examination Of countless pro-
grams of athletic events, newspaper. re-
ports and personal affidavits Great as
sistance has also been received from
those athletes OF past days familiar with
the correctness Of various results, while
the compiler has been aided 10 a GER
tain extent BY his own memory in these
matters. II is believed that the marks
as now recognized are substantially cor
rect Those who feel that they have
performed better than the present record
holder in their particular event, are re-
quested to communicate with the handi-
caDper and verify their performances It
Is only in this manner the matter can be
thoroughly settled.
In many events, as will be seen here
after, the record has not as vet been
established.
The plan adopted is new I'm this asso-

THE FORKSv|LLE FAIR,

The annual fair of the Sullivan
County Agricultural Society will
be held on the grounds at Forks
vile on October 4, 5, &, and 7.
This fair promises to be better than
any of previous years and a much
larger attendance than ever before
is expected.
Among the attractions there will
be athletic events on Wednesday
and baseball on Thursday and
Friday. These features alone are
worth much more than the price of
admission as Sullivan County can
boast of some fine athletes and ball
players who have the ability to
put up an interesting exhibition of
the various sports.
The merry-go-round will also be
there to delight both young and old
Many other new and up-to-date
attractions will be open for the
fair goers.
A new stock barn much superior
to the old one has been erected by
the Society. Increased premiums
will be paid this year for exhibits.
