Sports to Be Gone Over Be-
fore Other Program.

Notice is given out today of the an
nual meeting of the South Atlantic d.
vision of the Amateur Athletic Union
at the Carroll Institute on Monday
evening, September Is.
At the present time Carroll Institute
and the Washington A. A. are the only
active clubs in the city with a right to
vote for officers in the union. A meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Washington A. A. has been called for
Sunday at which time it will be learned
just where the organization stands.
Rumors flying thick and fast in the
past two months have It that the
Washington A. A. has gone out of busi-
ness, and while it is reported that a
number of athletes have been signed
Up for the coming year. there is also
considerable criticism directed by the
members of the association about the
treatment received during the past
year.
S. Edward Reach, president of the as
socaition. is getting together with the
members of the board to see just what
will be done for the coming year. Dan
Hassett is reported as saying he would
have something definite done in regard
to the athletic work this year, and all
wish to know just where the body
stands with regard to winter activities.
At the present time but two offices
are held by Washington men in the
Amateur Athletic Union. OF the five or
six clubs which belonged to the union,
but two remain. The officers holding
down jobs in the union at present are
John Stowell, who is vice president,
and acts in that capacity iii the Wash
ington A. A; John T. Meany: chair
man of field and track on the A A u
and member of the registration COM
mittee, and S. Edward Beach, presi-
dent w. A. A, delegate at large
Carroll Institute is the strongest club
in the city at present belonging to the
A. A. U. 1t has entered its athletes in
practically every meet steadfastly re-
fusing to desert the ranks with the
other clubs which have bucked the
body for the purpose of having a Dis
trict of Columbia branch of the A. A. U.
The institute Is naturally expecting
several of its men to grab off good
positions in the A. A. L. this year and
while the delegation from Baltimore
will be unusually large and can swing
anything it wants in the way of cleo
uons, there is no doubt expressed in
the matter of number of positions
going to Carroll Institute.
Just where the Washington A. A. U.
is figuring is a matter which is caus-
ing speculations among the Washing
ton A A men. Bobby Williams has
been the only Washington A. A. man
with Bradley Gish who has stuck
throughout to the organization. Gish.
however, has not run since last spring.
1t has been rumored that the Wash
inyton A. A. men formerly members of
the Washington Cross Country CLUB
have begun to start revival of the
Washington c. c. again which will num-
her Holland, Schofield, and the old
timers, who first organized the dis
tance club.
The meeting for the election of Off
GERS is to be held at Carroll Institute
at s O'Clock Monday night. The WASH
ington A. A. meeting will be held Sun
day the time and place % be determined
later.
