WASN'T AN AMERICAN RECORD
AT THIS TIME.

1.-THE recent history OF the A.. A. Y. Is
too well known to need ~recountlng.
There was practically no organized
amateur sport in America. and previous
to the formation OF the Union not one
worlds record was held by an Ameri-
can. The A. a. u. and no other agency
has made amateur sport in America
what 1t is to-day. with the result that
Americans hold world records for the
100. go. quarter. half. high and low
hurdles. pole vault. shot put and ham
mer throw.
1T is not generally known, also. that
Il was the A.. A. Y. that first suggested
Fairgrounds, public ~gymnasiums, public
baths and athletics in the public schools.
II has ever been the object of the Union
to promote athletics among boys. and,
having donc this. the Unions next work
will be organizing athletics among boys
and young men who have to work.
There are already under consideration
leagues for clerks OF various kinds.
America Is naturally the athletic nation
OF the world, and there Is no eason
why this supremacy should not be
clearly shown"
Mr.. Sullivan paid high tribute TO the
executive qualities OF the new president
OF the A.. A. u, Gustavus T. Kirby. de-
claring that ne has just the qualities
needed to push the work OF the Union
forward. He said that probably one OF
the first things the new head OF the
Union would attempt would be to bring
the National Playground Association OF
America into closer relationship with
the A. A. Y. Mr.. kirby Is treasurer Of
this latter organization, and according
to Mr.. Sullivan should be able to bring

and held the championships. All ths
meets were held up at the Mott Haver
grounds; they took you over the river,

hours. and finally you got there.
About 1879 there were a number OF

on Jan. I, 1855. the Amateur Athletic
Union was organized with a member
ship OF fifteen clubs and q board Of
governors composed CT fifteen represen-
tat!ves of the various parts OF the coun-
try. Naturally the National Association
objected to this as a usurpation or Its
powers, and so that year there were
two American amateur championship
meets. one in New York, held by the
National, and one In Detroit, held by
the a. A. Y. The following years the
A. A. U. had grown 50 large that there
was little difficulty in effectlng a con
solidation with the old body.
I'm 1859. also, A. q. Mills OF the New

tricting the Union. and from this sprang
the various locality associations of to-
day. Four associations started the sys-

year the Union had not a dollar in Its
treasury and that to-day II has a sur
