SUPREME ORDEROFATHLETES ‘The Organization and Ite Officere— Championship Events and the Men Managing Them—Contestante for the Bai! jy, Banks dle Plaque. ins ASHINGTON has never seen and will seldom ever again see such an array of athletic talent at one time as will a week from today attend the great meet on Analostan Island, in the Potomac. This will beone of the largest and most im- portant events in all the history of amateur athletics, the annual championship meet of the Amateur Athletic Union of America, the larg- est and most influential organization of gentle- men athletes in this country. It is quite cer- tain that there has never been as fine a chance for the people of this city to see to what heights of perfection the human body can be trained. Every branch of the science of muscle making and muscie using will be exemplified at this meet, which is to bring to a close the most suc- cessful season which the union has enjoyed. The meet is to take place under the auspices ef the Columbia Athletic Club, and it isa source of congratulation that board of governors of that organization hown the enterprise to bring such s great event to this . Anslostan Island is an ideal place for the ding of such games, and it is now being put fm such shape that the large crowds that are gure to be on hand when the referee of the day calls the games up for a start will be com- fortably accommodated. Two extra grand stands Bave been erected, and arrangements have Deen made for the rapid and safe transporte- fion of spectators to and from the island. A force of men will be kept at work all next ‘week for the purpose of putting and keeping fhe grounds in perfect condition, and as the a day draws near the heart of Prof. Thomas jeill, renowned as the skillful master of the tack, swells with pride, and he predicts that many @ record will be broken as the fleet-footed Sect of the union speed around his per- wack. = ATHLETES WHO WILL CONTEST. 18M certain that there will be some of the wery best men ever trained present at this feet as competitors for the championship —— ‘The entries for the events are to close ht, and will comprise some names famous the lovers of sport, For instance, there Parmer Conneff, Day, Mitchell, , O’Brien and hosts of others, all men of in their chosen departments of sport. it is to be expected that the Washington tes, younger in the lists of competition, stand very much chance for cham- pionship honors as against these comparative Veterans of the track and field, but there will be teams entered from both the Columbia Club and the Potomac Club, the latter having tly become s member of the union. men will suffer from lack of experience more than from want of skill, as they have Given indications of being possessed of quite as excellent qualities as those who have now winning honors and medals for several years i, The games are all to be from the operate against the youngsters, who wil , learn many valuable points from the tact with their opponents. THE ATHLETIC UNION. The union, which is thus to hold its third panuel meeting, is practically the only strong body of athletes in the country that is com- solely of clubs. There are no individuals red, each member being an organiza- ion. Its roll at present comprises about eighty @iubs, mp Lenina condition, Son fmillons liars’ worth o! ty, an berabip of "over 50000, Tt is of igin, with all of its rity, most brilliant representa- clubs met New York in the winter of and formed themselves into # union. Athletic Association, and for a couple of years the fight for existence between these two bodies waged furiously. The union showed the greater strength, however, and although the association made a gallant struggle for life, it was forced to submit to the inevitable, and so last year it went out of existence and the clubs composing it became members of the union, which stands today in undisputed pos- session of the field of American athletics. Friday night there will be held at the Arling- ton Hotel the annual meeting of the union, which will be attended by three delegaies from each club having a membership in the union, one vote being allowed to each club. There will probably be upward of fifty actual dele- | ape many of the clubs being represented y proxy. This meeting will be an important even' in the history of the union, for there will be then decided a ques- tion of the most vital interest to the members, Bamely the proposed reorganization of the union on anew basis. A few months ago a scheme was proposed by Mr. A. S. Mills of New York for the amendment ot the constitution of the union, so that instead of being, as now, an organization composed of clubs it should have as its members several smaller associatious, to be formed of the same clubs that are now in the union, but associated according to their localities, hus the union would become the higher body, a final court to which all sorts of appeals should be sent, an upper house, as it were, that should have control over all matters of the highest interest, while the questions of smaller importance would be leit tothe lesser bodies, The proposition met with quite as much favor as opposition, according as the various interests were affected. and it will be warmly discussed at the meeting Friday night, when a final decision will be reached. It is not likely, however, even if the new plan should be adopted, that it wili be carried into effect for several months, so that for the pres- ent at least the union will pass through no transformation. The proposed organization is to be composed of the following minor associations: The New England Association, including all of the New England states; the Metropolitan Association, including New York and New Jersey north of Trenton; the Atlantic Association, comprising the rest of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia and West Virginia; the Southern Association, taking in all of the southern states, with Virginia, Ken- tucky end Arkansas as the northern border and Texas, New Mexico and the Indian territory as the western; the Central Association, including all of the northern middle states as far west as Dakota, Wyoming and Colorada, and the Pacific Association consuming all that are left of the states. That part of the new constitution referring to the objects of the union reads as follows: “I. ‘The encouragement and promotion of rational physical exercise and the promotion of physi cal education in the United States. 2 The improvement in and encouragement of ath- letic sports among amateurs. 3. The incorpo- ration of all eligible amateur athletic clubs in the United States into such separate associa- tions of clubs, with active membership and representation in this union, as may from time to time be deemed best adapted to advance the cause of amateur athletics throughout the United States, and to foster and promote the interests of the several clubs. 4. The estab- lishment and maintenance, by allied mom ship or otherwise, of alliance with associatio: of national or special jurisdiction and composed of clubs or otherwise designated bodies of individual members devoted wholly or par- tially to physical culture or to some specialty in athletics. 5. The establishment and main- tenance throughout the United States of a uniform test of amateur standing and uniform rales for the government of all athletic sports within its jurisdiction. 6. To institute, regn- late and award amateur athletic championships ia the United States. How IT 18 CONDUCTED, At present the affairs of the union are con- ducted by s board of managers, fifteen in num- ber, who hold frequent meetings during each Season in order to adjust the innumerable mat- ters that come up for settlement pertaining to such vast orgauization. The board is elected atthe annual meeting, so that Friday night will al the time for a renewal of the nerves and sinews of the association, thus making that occasion doubly important. The members of the board are chosen by ballot of clubs, and as soon as elected hold a meeting and organize by electing, from among their own number, the officers of the union, who serve for one year without compensation. The it officers are as follows: President, larry McMillan of the Schuylkill ry Athletic Club, Philadelphia; vice {eprint Frauk W. Eddy, Detroit Athletic Club; secretary, Jam E. Sullivan, New Jersey Athletic Club; trea- surer, Howard Perry, Columbia Atbletic Club of this city. With the exception of Mr. Sullivan these have been serving ever since the organization of the union. Mr. McMillan was at one time one of the finest 4 Goop PUT. amateur oarsmen in the he has not done much active work in this way for several years. Mr. Eddy has held a number of records of all sorts of events, 2 was, in his time, whicle does not carry one bi ft . ‘Mr. Sullivan, who isthe business manager of ths ing Times of York, has about the in the amateur athletic line, ha ing retired from active participation in sport. Mr. Perry, who is well known here, is the only one of the corps of officers who has not achieved honors on the track or the field, probably be- itling qualities, Tono one should the credit for the wonder- fal success of the union be given astrathfully as to these officials, who have constan! for the advancement not only of the interests of the union alone, but also for the improve- ment of the tone of amateur atbleticy fu this ya 5 eee eee nay” mowers ‘union is now composed of thoroug! far removed ss possible from the HH SESESEREE? i i 6 SEALTHY COMPETITION. An instance of this strife is to be had in the explanation that follows of the methods by which the matter of the olub championship of the union is decided. There is each year a certain amount of aes, pacer among the lubs, according to a fixed schedule and under Pe ag rulea, Early in the season come the indoor games of the union. This year they = ee ee potas @ way of running and other . There is alsc a match for the championships in boxing, wrestling and fencing, and again a swimming contest. ‘Thus, before the Octo- ber or fall meet takes place, the clubs have all had a chance to compete for the supremacy in all evouts not to be striven for on this latter occasion. Entries are made for these events by the clubs, the men who are to take part being named, together with the events in which they are to compete. The vic- tories of these men are credited to the clubs which they sepresent and the championship of the events belong to the clubs. A schedule is kept throughout the scason of the perform- ances on each occasion, and the clubs are given credit on this for what has been done by their men, E: an winning first place earns ‘NOW FOR IT. five points for his club, the second man th: the third man one. At theend of the counted up and the clab bav- ing the most is nounced as the champion of the year and receives as a reward the magnifi- cent placque presented through the Schuylkill Navy ‘Athletic Club of Philadelphia by the firm of Bailey, Banks & Biddle of Philadelphia. As is to be expected a very close watch 1s kept by the clubs over the progress of the record as the season advances, and it can be easily seon, before the finul games, which have the greatest bearing on the contest, just what effect will be produced upon the totals by certain happenings, and long before the games the enthusiasts are figuring upon winning this event and losing that one, and thus making « gain in the general total, | As the competition now stands the Manhattan Club of New York is but three points ahead of the New Yorks, these two being old-time rivals, and the winning or losing of any one of the individual champion- ships may defeat one or the other for the final honor, so closely do they hang upon each other's flank. : THE CHAMP:ONS"IP PLAQUE. It is not at all improbable that the club win- ning the Bailey, Banks & Biddle plaque this year will become owners of that magnificent piece of jewelry for all time, although the plaque was given to be competed for each year. The reason for this is that there is movement on foot, headed by Father Cur against the annual competition for the plaque, on the ground that it results too much in con- fining the interests in the competition to two or three large .lubs, to the exclusion of others, besides giving an additional incentive to the securing of semi-professionals as club mem- bers. This belief is growing among the mem- bers of the union, and it is regarded as one of the probabilities of the meeting on Friday night that the competition for the plaque will be declared closed in favor of whichever club may chance to win it through the gamcs on the following day. ‘The plaque is nearly four feet square, bordered for a consid- erable depth by a frame of richly carved oak. Immediately inside of this is an edge of velvet, and in the center is the plaque itself of silver In this are dozens of figures in relief, representing the various branches of athletic sports, each in an individual circle. At the top he frame is the emblem of the Schuylkill Navy Club, through which the presentation was made by Messrs. Bailey, Banks & Biddle, and along the sides are the names of the original thirteen members of the A. A. U. twined about crossed oars, At the bottom is a irieze of implements used in sport, the whole making a wonderfully rich and unique design. The trophy has been won by the New York club ever since its donation. Last year, before the amalgamation of the two organizations, that club went so far ahend that the Manhattans, who entered late in the sea- son, were handicapped. New York won by 164 points against 78 by the Detroit club, the nearest competitor. The Manhattan Club, although late in the games, made 57. Colum- bia made 9, AN EVIL TO BE REMEDIED. This system has one very decided disad- vantage, however, having its direct cause in the intense rivalry of the clubs, and this feat- ure may receive some warm attention at this meeting. Reference is had to the custom of some of the wealthier of the clubs, such as the New Yorks and Manhattans and some others near the metropolis, of what can bo described in no other truthful way than as employin efficient men who have established deserve reputations as experts on the track and field, who, becoming meimbers of the clubs they are to work for, seek only to earn their salaries—there nothing else to say. doing the best they can in their muscular, brute way. Of course, some of these men are refined and have become semi-profes- sionals simply because of its being quite a profitable business. But the union has about made up its mind, it is plain from certain ind: cations, that this matter has gone too far for the good name of the organization and an amendment to the constitution may be intro- duced at this meeting designed to remedy the evil. It is a difficult problem, as the men always become, if the: are not already, residents of the cities in whic! the clubs are located of which they become ostensible members. It will be a hard matter to adjust the rulesso as to bar this class of performers out of the contests, but it has been suggested as the nearest approach to a solu- tion that all men who have ever taken part in any but the most strictly amateur contests are to be barred from the championship games. A FLOURISHING FINANCIAL CONDITION. The union makes a good deal of money each year from these sources and it is now in a most flourishing condition as regards its bank ac- count. Atsome of the games there is a slight loss, but at such events as the indoor cham- pionship games, and at the boxing, fenci and wrestling matches, which in some large hall in New Yo! crowds large enough to make up ures ten times over. It ests revenues from the boxiffy, fencing ling match alone, this being the general expenses of the ti re but two salaried officinls, the offi- cial handicapper and the secretary's assistant. The former, Mr. E. C. Carter of New York, gets £1,200 e year, and is paid out of the fees that come to him for his services in handicapping the championsbip games of the various clubs belonging to the union, while there is enough left over to pay the other man, So it is to be seen that the union is largely self-supporting and does not depend to any great extent upon the payment of the regular dues of the clubs, which are as follows: For clubs of between 5 and 250 members, €5; clubs of between 250 and 1,000 members, $10, and clubs of over a thousand members, $15. THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMMITTEE, The arrangements for this great meet have been made by # committee of nine men, who have labored diligently for the cause of the union. ‘Their names are Howard Perry, C.A.C., chairman; Harry McMillan, A.C.8.N. Sullivan, N.J.A4.0.; W. B. Curtis, N.Y. W. Janssen, 8.1 A.C, Ww. W. B. Hibbs, Sam. Stinemetz CAC. In this both the local and the metropolitan interests are cared for, these being the most important as regards tho inter- est at stake. It is of vital importance to the Columbia Club that the meet shuuld bo a suc- cess, and it is quite as much a matter of con- cern to the grest organizations of and around New York it everything should be done to the end that the meet occurs without hitch or break of any kind.

He was one of the most potent factors in the transformation of the club into a general athletic club early in 1887, and his services were rewarded by the office of secretary, which he still retains, having become invaluable to the club through his indefatigable working in the interests of the organization. He attended the first meeting of the A. A. U. as the repre- sentative of the C. A. C., and as such is entitled to the rank of one of the original thirteen del- egates who formed tho grand body which now is to meet here. He has been treasurer of the union and a member of its board of managers since the organization. PRYSIDENT M'MILLAN, Mr. W. H. McMillan, or more familiarly known in athletic circles as “Harry,” is presi- dent of the union, as he has been for three terms, and is deservedly one of the most popu- lar men in the organization. He is a member of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy, Philadelphia, the main body of athletes in the quaker city. His athleticiam runs most de- cidedly to aquatics, both in taste and records, as he has been ono of the very finest oarsmen in the country during his racing period. He was one of the organizers of the Schuylkill Navy, and for twelve years represented the Vesper Club. He is now commodore of the navy, besides holding the office of treasurer of the Athletic Club. He began rowing in 1870, and for eleven years was one of the most active and successful amateur oarsmen in the coun- try. His Jast race was on the Schuylkill river in June, 1881, SECRETARY SULLIVAN, James E. Sullivan, secretary of union, is a member of the New Jersey Athletic Club, as well as one of the trustees of that organization, He is now what might be termed a “newspaper athlet but he possesses a record as an amateur athicte, of honors and medals won on the track and field that would make the yes of many @ younger man bulge with envy. It seems to be tho good fortune of the union that after the best men have outgrown their activity and are forced by their slowly stiffoning muscles to retire from the lists they do not desert the ship. but remain and do worl of good by their wise couns advice, iaspired by Mr. Sul- livan, Who occupies the position of business manager and sporting editor of the New York Sporting Times, is at present one of the most valuable members of the union. He used to be a walker of whom the best men wore afraid, He was at one time considered as good as any in his class with his fists at @ sparring bout, and asa wrestler, so says one of his biogra- phers, ‘he would always make it lively for anybody.” He has of late become an authority on the subject of athietic matters and his let- ters in the Sporting Times signed “Jess” have attracted wide attention, THE FATHER OF ATHLETICS, There is always a parent to every spost, as well as almost everything else, and there are juite a number to that of amateur athletics, but of all of the aspirants, or rather of all those credited to this honor, there is none who de- serves the position more truthfully than Wil- liam B. Curtis of New York. He, with two others, John C. Babcock and Henry E. Bur- meyer, both of the metropolis, are now very born! acknowleged to be the founders of the istinct department of what might be cal the association of all-round athletes and who were the originators of the New York Athletic Club in 1866. Mr. Curtis is still a member having held all sorts of offices in club during his connection with it, being president for two years. Although not « very elderly man—having been born in Salisbury, Vt., in the latter part of 183¢—he is nevertheless known through the union among amateur and rofessional athletes as “Old Bill Curtis” and is word is taken everywhere as the best of au- thority on any matter pertaining to athletics, ? y years he has been connected rit of fe Times, and as sport- ing editor he is now s censor upon all records that have Carer y seeds ae - ae ——_ thing for disputed questions referred to him and his word is law. His advice in the councils of the A. A. U., of which he is a mem- ber of the board of managers, is sure to be taken with grave consideration. He has an visble record in the athletic line himself, and it has been said of him that “‘he has probably the better claim than any other living man to the title at amateur all-round athlete. the best on record at two dumb belis at one time, at ite with and g Ht E H if E i F fi B é | E i a # e Z ; t | i i ! i 3 § : | . ALL-AROUND JANSSEN, It would seem as though Frederick W. Jans- sen of the Staten Island Athletic Club, editor of the Ace of Clubs and compiler of several handbooks and pamphlets uy athletic topics, would be « meet Curtis, to judy from the in- tense activity which he is now showing inthe cause of clean sport and the successful work b has done on the track and in the field. He is chairman of four of the ten committees formed by the members of the board of managers of the union: on records, investigation and _rein- statement, athletic rules and lacrosse and foot ball, besides being a member of those on base ball, club investi istration and schedule, This gives him enough to do to gees him as busy as any man in the country, yet he has gained the reputation of always be- ing anxious to find something new that will be to the interest of the union or of his own club. He has walked, ran, raced over hurdles, rowed, played lacrosse, base ball and foot ball, and in each department of sport to which he turned his attention he excelled. In 1882 he retired from active work, and since then has devoted hiimself to the ouilding up of the Staten Island Club, which is now close on the heels of the New Yorks and Manhattans for stren, and standing. His little paper, the Ace of Clubs, is one of the brightest journals published about athletic matters, and is one of the authorities. Mr. Janssen is a comparatively young man. @zoRce The interests of the Manhattan Club are cared for on the board of governors and the cham- pionship committee by President George W. Carr, who, although one of the newer members of the union, is at the same time one of the most active. It was thi ational Association and was the last to leave it for its successor, and now, putting forth all of the talent which has characterized it for years, it 18 coming into the championship meet with a determina- tion to win the Bailey plaque. 8. W. STINEMETZ, The other members of the committee are too well known here to need any introduc- tion from Tue Star. 8S, W. Stinemetz is cap- tain of the Columbia Club, and, begging par- don for the crime of quotation, “a right good captain, too.” He is one of the hardest work- ers in the business, and it is largely due to his tireless endeavors that the Columbia men have done so well in the past and promise so well for the future. Almost every moment that he can spare from business is given to the Columbia Club. go share of the credit for whatever success is achieved at the meet should be given to him, as he has worked night and day, in con- junction with Chairman Perry, in order to ar- range every detail at thisend of the line. has had charge of the arrangements on Ana- lostan Island.

The man making first place gets a gold medal, the second man a silver one and that given to the third place man is of bronze. These medals are all of the same design, which is reproduced here, and are made by the same firm of Philadelphians who produced the magnificent placque that is the principal bone of contention. ‘The medals to be given next Saturday will cost the union in the neighborhood of €300, each gold medal alone containing about @20 worth of the pre- cious metal, The expenses of the meet.including this item of medals, will be about $2,000.
