PLANS CONFLICT FOR
SULLIVAN MEMORIAL
Two Different Schemes for
Raising Needed Funds May
Cause Difficulties.
MONEY BEING COLLECTED

Friends Of the late James f. sullivan
were somewhat disturbed yesterday over
circular sent broadcast and asking for
"A popular subscription Of $4,000 for
memorial to the athletic leader Previous
to the appearance OF this circular fund
had already been started by the American
olympic Committee and many subscrlp-
tions had been received from clubs and
individuals connected with the Amateur
Athletic Union.
The circular. unauthorized by present
\ A. T. officials. names the maximum
sum of 81 ms the amount to be subscribed.
This Is at variance with the policy
adopted by the American olympic Com
mittce, which already has accepted indi-
vdual subscriptions Of 500 and as much
as $500 from the Metropolitan Associa-
ton.
According To the latest circular some
men well known In amateur athletics
favor the 81 idea. but there Is considerable
doubt among the present rulers as TO
whether a fund sufficient to commemorate
adequately Sullivans efforts for athletics
can he realized with the individual sub
scrlptions TO the fund so limited Their
belle: Is that each man wishing to con-
tribute should give just what he Is able
10 afford. from the nickel OF the school
boy to the slOO of the wealthy athlete
who will misss this amount little more
than the schoolboy will his nickel.
There was no attempt yesterday to dis.
courage the efforts NJ the Old friends OF

fund and among the dollar subscribers
arc named eight members Of the board "
