SULLIVAN OPPOSES KIRBY
The remarks of the president had
hardly been printed before there was
a general outburst in New York from
various athletic officials. The most
strenuous roar CAME from our friend
Jim Sullivan, who is opposed to the
suggestion in every particular Sui
Iivan always was stickler for keep
ing the amateur and the professional
in separate baggage cars, as far
as competition is concerned.
Sullivan will make a determined
fight against the suggestion of Presi-
bilftv that factions will be formed at
the A. A. u. meeting for and against
the suggestion.
Kirby's ideas will find many sup
porters in various parts of the coun-
trv. but they will find just as many
amateur officials who will be adverse
TO the suggestions. The highest ones
of the branches of the A. A. u. of this
coast were in this city with their
teams to compete in the Portola meet
on Saturday and every one Of these
men is adverse to Kfrby's suggestions
and state that their delegates TO the
A. A. IT, meeting in New York next
month will be instructed to vote
against any motion which tends TO
bring the amateur and the profess
sional into competition.
From the remarks of the officials
from the Pacific northwest and the
southern part of the state, the SEN
timent Is exactly in line with local
ideas, and the whole coast is unani-
mously opposed to the ideas of the
