BALTIMORE TO AID
CAPITAL IN FIGHT
TO GET REGATTA
President of Patapsco Navy
Favors Sending Contest
Here Next Year.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 27.-President r.
Lee Williamson, of the Patapsco Navy,
and chief executive officer of the middle
States regatta association. said today
that Washington will have the unqual-
flied support of the dowing clubs OF
Baltimore in her effort to land the an
nual regatta in 1912.
1T is Washington's turn" said Mr..
Williamson. "and my personal efforts
will certainly be in behalf of the Cap
ital City oarsmen. 1 don't think WASH
ington will get the regatta unless con-
centrated effort is made, but l believe
that 1 can convince Philadelphia and
New York of the merits Of Washing
toms claim and see no reason why the
vote should not be unanimous. 1t is
gratifying to me to learn that WASH
ington has taken steps thus early, and
with Baltimore's support I don't see
why the oarsmen of the sister city
should not continue the battle until
the final vote on the question Is taken" "
Mr.. Williamson even went so far as
to say that the support of the Patapsco
Navy has practically been promised the
Washington oarsmen, and also states
that Baltimore, in order to help Wash
ington's claims, will make no bid for
the big affair.

TO me the mos interesting phase
in athletics is the making of worlds
records of American athletes" recently
| said Games r. sullivan. secretary
treasurer of the A. A. L.. Men who
have followed athletics for thirty of
thirty-hve years recall the good ola
| DAYS when we had a couple of hun
| bred competing athletes in the United
| States. and marvel al the growth of
the army.
To-day, including school boys. church
| leagues, prep and high schools, colleges
and other groups We have close to p
| 100000 in competition In New York
city alone are hundreds of thousands.
THE growth of American athletic is
interesting, but where an Individual,
with an implement that weighs ami
measures the same the world over, or
on a track. the distance the same
| everywhere. creates a worlds record, 1T
shows conclusively that in athletics as
in other walks the American is spe-
cializing with success.
1.-THE athletic performance OF the
| wear was the smashing by Jones N
4:t5 2-5 of II. p. Connects mile record
OF AIS S-5, made August %, 1896, at
Travers Island, in a special race with
~pacemakers.
ITO Americans the breaking Of this
| record means much Connect was not
| an American. He was a British subject
| and when we referred to his mile 1t was
recalled he was a foreigner. Some
credit belongs to the land which has
produced our greatest athletes-lreland.
THE worlds amateur mile record is
now 4:15 2-5 and 1t will be lower.
II have no desire to be an l-told
