Little progress has been made by the managers of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club Interscholastic Games, which are to be held in the Madison
Square Garden this winter. So far, at the meetings of the executives
many questions have been left undecided, and the events that are to be
contested have not even been announced. Neither is it possible to
announce as yet the names of any of the prominent athletes whom we shall
see come together there, but as soon as there are any developments we
shall take up the subject again, as this meeting will undoubtedly prove
the most important interscholastic athletic event in New York this
winter.
The skating races this year in New York are to be sanctioned by the
Interscholastic Association, although they were not so sanctioned last
year. Arrangements have already been made, and I hope to be able to deal
with the subject more fully next week. It will be remembered that last
season Morgan of De La Salle carried off all the honors. His records
were as follows: 220 yards, 23 sec.; quarter-mile, 50-1/5 sec.; 2 miles,
6 min. 36-2/5 sec. He was also a member of De La Salle's winning team in
the 1-mile relay race. This year undoubtedly there will be a greater
interest in these skating races and surely a larger number of entries,
for a number of skaters are already in training for the several events.
I believe that arrangements have been made to hold the contests at the
St. Nicholas Rink instead of at the 107th Street rink, which is no doubt
a change for the better.
The Cook County League has adopted a schedule for the in-door baseball
season as follows:
January 9--North Division at Hyde Park.
January 9--Austin at Lake View.
January 9--Englewood at Evanston.
January 16--Austin at Hyde Park.
January 16--Lake View at Englewood.
January 16--Evanston at North Division.
January 23--Hyde Park at Englewood.
January 23--Evanston at Austin.
January 23--North Division at Lake View.
January 30--Hyde Park at Evanston.
January 30--Austin at North Division.
February 3--Hyde Park at Lake View.
February 3--Austin at Englewood.
February 6--Englewood at North Division.
February 6--Lake View at Evanston.
February 13--Lake View at Austin.
February 13--Hyde Park at North Division.
February 13--Evanston at Englewood.
February 20--North Division at Evanston.
February 20--Hyde Park at Austin.
February 20--Englewood at Lake View.
February 27--Austin at Evanston.
February 27--Englewood at Hyde Park.
February 27--Lake View at North Division.
March 6--North Division at Austin.
March 6--Evanston at Hyde Park.
March 13--Lake View at Hyde Park.
March 13--Englewood at Austin.
March 20--Evanston at Lake View.
March 20--North Division at Englewood.
In every case the first-named team is scheduled to play against the
last-named at the home of the latter.
