Insurgent Legislation Their Theme, Says Senator, and the Colonel is in Fighting Trim. Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 28 Robert M. La Follette. United States Senator from Wisconsin and the father of Re publican insurgency, has spent two hours talking politics with Theodore Roosevelt He left Oyster Bay wear ing a broad smile. Senator Elmer Burkett of Nebraska, another out-and-out insurgent is com ing to Sagamore Hill after Col. Roose velt returns from Boston. He, too, will talk politics. Representative Madison of Kansas, irreconcilable insurgent and ardent de fender of Grifford Pinchot as a mem ber of the Ballinger-Pinchot Congres sional Invigating committee, will be at Sagamore Hill probably late this week. His theme will be politics. Within the last few days Col. Roose velt has talked politics with Gifford Pinchot and his ally. James R. Gar field. Senator LeFollette arrived yesterday afternoon. He had with him G, EL Roe. a New York lawyer who was for merly his law partner. Col. Roose velt's chauffeur was waiting for them and whisked them away to Sagamore Hill. The Senator had pulled his hat down ever his eyes and tried to escape unseen. But he was caught fairly at it by a group of newspaper men who saw the Roosevelt auto. They tack led him on suspicion, although nobody recognized him. for his hat hid his famous pompadour. "Not a word." h eg said. "I am going to Sagamore Hill, but I don't want a word said about it." When he returned just in time to catch a train for New York he look ed like a schoolboy Who had just won a medal. He was smiling" his most expansive, persuasive smile. "It's all right, boys," he cried jovial ly. "The Colonel says I may talk to you." The train pulled out and the inter viewers Jumped on with the Senator and rode to the next station. "Did we talk politics?" he replied to the first Question. "We did." And he emphasized the affirmation. "We talked of the legislation of the present session of Congress, from the attitude of those members of the Re publican party whom the newspapers are pleased to call insurgents." "Can you go into details?" "No. I prefer that they come from Sagamore HilL I am very much pleased with the result of my visit with Col. Roosevelt, very muoh pleas ed, indeed." The Senator paused a moment, re calling the happenings of the after noon. Suddenly the smile left his face for the first time, and he said impres sively: "I want to tell you that Col. Roose velt is the greatest living American, and," he added slowly and significant ly, "he is in fighting trim!" An hour later the Colonel received the interviewers, who told him just what Senator La Follette said about him and their meeting. The Colonel smiled as though he liked it. "I think there is nothing I can add to what the Senator has said." he com mented. Speculation among Oyster Bay poli ticians is keener than ever because of these occurrences. One story going the rounds is that the insurgents have come and seen, but have not conquer ed. Yet there is another group of equally positive persons who insist that the Colonel has shown clearly by his acts that he is veering toward the radicals. All agreed, however, that it is entirely a matter of opinion.

From time to time dissatisfied in dividuals have endeavored to create dissension in the Amateur Athletic Union, and criticized that body un justly, but such individuals have in variably failed, as the majority of those interested in athletics know what the situation would be without the governing body. The Amateur Ath letic Union is absolutely responsible for the healthy condition of track and field athletics and the general interest that is taken in American sports. Criticism and abuse can never take away from that body the credit for its twenty-two years of hard and honest work in the interest of wholesome amateur athletics. The Amateur Ath letic Union has established laws for the government ,of itself, its associa tions, its assocfaflon members, com peting athletes, the clubs and the pro moters, and these laws were enacted after careful deliberation. At times the enforcement of the rules affects, by what is termed by some, "an un fortunate", but as the Amateur Ath letic Union is a voluntary organization. those who are not satisfied with its laws and who do not like- the penalties imposed are not compelled to remain members, if they are clubs, nor to con tinue their registration cards, which entitles them to compete, if they are athletes. Prior to the formation of the A. A. U., sport in the United States was controlled by an Association known as Khe National Association of Amateur Athletes of America, referred to in brief as the N-Four-A's. This asso ciation had very few members. Its president was Walton Storms, and the present Secretary-Treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, James E. Sul livan, was Vice-President. The Nat ional Association interested itself very little in the developement of athletics throughout the United States, and Mr. Sullivan resigned in 1887 and became the prime mover of the Amateur Ath letic Union. The formation of the Amateur .Ath letic Union of the United State! and its public proclamation that it would control amateur sport in America, led to a bitter warfare with the old N. A. A, A. A. in 1888. Recognizing the in jury that was being done to athletic sport by the continuation of the war, Mr. A. G-. Mills of the New York Ath letic Club and Mr. A. C. Stevens of the New Jersey A. C, who were two of the most able men on the Amateur Atheltic (Union board, terminated the hostilities, the N. Y. A. A. A. agree ing to relinquish control and go out of existence and bring its club into the Amateur Athletic Union. The Amateur Athletic Union as it was organized in 1888 was a union of clubs, with a board of governors of twelve but the organization and expansion of sport in the United States under its auspices met with such spontaneous approval that clubs sprung up all over and it became at once apparent that the mechanism of government was be coming unwieldy. Pacific Coast and "New Orleans matters had to be ad justed in New York, and it was realiz ed that something would have to be done if the organization was to remain intact and still have control. In 1889 Mr. A. G. Mills worked out what has since been known as the "Mills Reor ganization Plan," whereby each sec tion of the country would have home rule, and instead of the Union being an association of clubs, provided that it should be a union of Associations, active and allied. The plan was adopt ed unanimously. The wisdom of the Mills plan was immediatedly apparent, as from it started what has proved to be the most remarkable growth of ath letics known in any country of the world. An estimate of the competing athletes in 1&88 would be about three thousand: today statistics show that there are millions. Recognizing- the strength of the Amateur Athletic Un ion and the strength that would accrue from organized athletics in their own spheres, other governing- bodies quick ly formed alliances with the national body. Among the allied bodies today are the Intercollegiate A. A. A., Ath letic League of Y. M. C. A.'s Athletic League of Young Men's National Cath olic Union, North Amercian Gymnas tic Union. National Cycling Associa tion. International Skating Union, Mil itary Athletic League. Amateur Fenc ers' League, Federation of Motor Cy clists, and the Union des Societes Francaises de Shorts Athletiques. Since the first authentic amateur athletic meet held in Hoboken in 1838, progress has been steadily made in track and field athletics. In 1866, with GROWTH in America Rapidly the foundation of the New York A. C. the regulation of athletics was at tempted. The first American track and field championship was held in 1876. The New York A. C. arbitrarily took con trol of the government of athletics at that time, and gave championship events until the formation of the N. A. A. A, A., which was absorbed by the A. A. U. in 1888, since which time all control of amateur competition has been under the jurisdiction of the pres ent governing body. As long ago as 1888, the A. A. U-, in its constitution, put itself on record very strongly on fte question of pub lic play-grounds and baths, as will be seen on page 73 of the A. A. U. Hand book. This proves conclusively that the Amateur Athletic Union early realized that the future of athletics rested in the play-ground movement. The organization believes in play grounds and its entire record has been consistent in furthering what is now conceded to be a necessity in every large city and town. The officials of the A. A. U. helped to organize the Public Schools Athletic League, the largest athletic organization in the world, and year after year, at the an nual meeting of the A. A. U. the dele gates assembled are instructed to ren der every encouragement to the leagues in their various districts. The Catholic Athletic League. another large and important organization, was also suggested and organized by of ficials of the A. A. U. The A. A. IU. has never been derelict in its efforts to help the physical welfare of the youth of the country. Amateur sport would not be on the plane that it is today were it not for the Amateur Athletic Union. It would exist in certain locations only. The A. A. U. believes in nationalization and strong national organizations, and, as a matter of fact, the first cham pionship meeting of the A. A. U. was held in Detroit in 1888. in preference to some one of the larger eastern cit ies where athletic meetings were not uncommon. The success of the De troit meeting in attracting athletes who otherwise would never have been seen in the West was so pronounced that the A. A. U. since then has fol lowed the custom of holding the an nual meetings in various parts of the country from the Atlantic to the Pa cific. They have been held at different times in New York. Chicago, Milwau kee, Seattle, Portland, St. Louis and Jamestown, and on October 14th and 15th, this year, they will go to New Orleans, this being the first time the national events have gone to the Cres cent City. The A. A, U. from the day of its in ception has annually conducted the championships in the various lines of athletic sports sometimes at a great loss in track and field and all-around events, and it is ever ready to help the cause of amateur sport. Records have fallen one after an other under its guiding hand until at the present time they are at such fig ures that it seems hardly possible for them to be surpassed. The success of the A. A. U. has not been achieved without hard work. It has had many hard knocks, because there is always an element that does not want to be controlled for various reasons, and that element has to be fought. The Union is built on sound grounds and cannot be destroyed. Its officers and its board of governors may come and go, but new blood will constantly fill vacancies. If the lines laid down at its organization are fol lowed, the Union is sure to succeed. It is recognized by every American sportsman and denounced by a few for personal reasons. Any old-time ath lete of the decades prior to the late '80s could interest the present day reader if he would tell him of the chaotic condition of affairs prior to the organization of the A. A. U. Track athletes competed under assumed names for money prizes; professionals were brought from different sections of the country and competed one day for prizes and the net for money. Often an athlete who won a prize was lucky if he ever got it. Money or ders were given as prizes, returnable or marketable at certain stores. The athlete could buy a necktie for a few cents and get the remainder fn cash. The A. A. U. has made athletics re spectable by a uniform system of reg istration and control, and a young man can compete today without danger of being unjustly criticised or unfairly dealt with. Contrary to the genera! belief, the A. A. U. has no quarrel with the rec ognized professional. The Union is Bottom row: Representatives Campbell, antagonistic, however, to the alleged amateur who is in reality a profes sional. As an illustration of A. A. U. work, one only has to glance at the monster Fourth of July celebration arranged by the A. A. U., under the guidance of the Mayor of Greater New York, Hon. Wm. J. Gaynor. The Amateur Athletic (Union realized that an extra feature for the celebration would be athletitcs, and will have athletic games in all the parks of Greater New York, twenty in number. Speaking of the growth of American athletics, and the policy of the A. A. U., what the latter has done for ama teur sport is best told by glancing over the figures showing the number of men and boys competing today and twenty-two years ago. We can care fully say twenty-two years ago we Mid not have over fifty athletic clubs in the United States, and today we have thousands. Few colleges and schools took up competitive sport then, but to day there is not a school or college that has not its athletic association. Twenty-two years ago the number of athletes competing in the United States could be safely placed at two thou sand, and today the figures that have been compiled by the A. A. U. show that millions of young men are com peting in athletics under the control of the A. A. U. and its allied associa tions. The last statistics filed with the secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U. prove that over two million boys are taking part in competitive athletics. That is the kind of work the A. A. U. has accomplished during its twenty two years of control. The activities of Greater New York show conclusively the value of the A. A. U. control. It is the stronghold of the A. A. U, and its good work there of twenty-two years sfSmds out as a monument to its usefulness. All groups that are doing something for the betterment of the boy, for the bet terment of the city's affairs, from an athletic point of view have been or ganized with the assistance of the Amateur Athletic Union. The strength of the A. A, U. in New York can be understood when one glances at the numbers that are being controlled and benefited by its work. The latest addition that has been made to its membership is that of the Play-ground Association, which will control twenty play-grounds in New York. The A. A. U. officials, in co operation with the Park Commission ers, Messrs. Stover, Higgins and Ken nedy, organized during the past week this monster play-ground association, with Howard Bradstreet as its secre tary. It means the direct control of millions of youngsters in the ity of New York who use the different play grounds for athletic purposes. There are now in New York city controlled by the A. A. U. and working under its rules, five hundred thousand young lads who appreciate the true value of athletice exercise. The Amateur Athletic ITnion for twenty-one years has been fortunate in its selection of officials. During these twenty-one years it has never been called upon to pay a cent of sal ary to the many officials that work in its interests, nor even their expenses. It has a board of governors consist ing of fifty-nine men, located in all sections of the United 'States, and these men cheerfully give up their time and money for the cause of ath letics and in the interest of the Ama teur Athletic Union of the United States. It has in its treasury over $17,000, and is today the strongest ath letic governing body in the world. YOUNG MORSE A COWBOY.
