For some time past the athletes at the public schools of this city have
felt that they could make a good showing in various branches of sport if
they only had the opportunity, but as the Interscholastic Association
admits to its competitions students from private schools only, the
public-school boys have never been able to meet them. It is reported
now, however, that a meeting is soon to be held by representatives from
a large number of the New York public schools, with a view to
establishing an association similar to the Interscholastic Association.
It is greatly to be hoped that this movement may prove a success, and
that the public schools will hold tournaments, as the private schools
do; and in baseball and football it would be well if, toward the close
of the season, the best teams of the two leagues could meet and settle
the supremacy of New York schoolboy teams.
