Ninety-three Records Were Made
Amateur Union Lays Plans
for 1914.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE year
1913 was the banner one in American
athletics, according to reports made
at the annual meeting of the Amateur
Athletic Union here to-day. Ninety
three new records were set up. These
were divided as follows:
Running, 3d. hurdle racing, 3;
standing high jump q sack racing, /:
throwing weights. 4; throwing ham
mer, 3; relay race, 4, all -round track
and field, / swimming, H.
The formation of an organization
to have control Of all athletics on the
American continent and which would
have the power to bring about meet
ings between amateurs and profession
ais was advocated before the dele
gates by Gustavus T. Kirby, the re-
firing president.
Kirby in his address took the stand
that meetings Of amateurs with pro-
fessionals would not faint the anna
teurs, and would bring about keenei
contests than are staged at present
when amateurs meet amateurs only
and professionals are permitted &c
compete with professionals only.
Some of the leaders in the affairs
OF the union have disagreed with me
in my stand" declared Kirby. "bu'
1t has not changed my belief thai
the sports interests would be better
served in competitions between pro
fesslonals and amateurs II track ant
field events were permitted"
Kirby suggested number of safe
guards which he thought might en-
tirely eliminate any professionalism
from these meets He suggested thai
the organization be called THE Amer
lean Federation Of Amateur Sports"
