Sullivan, piesident of the
Amateur Athletic-Union of the
United . States, who has been
appointed honorary . director of
athletic . events, is planning to
have continuous sports during
the entire period of the exposi

selected for the building of the
stadium, in which the sporting
contests are to be held, and the
running track, when completed,
will be one of the best cinder
paths ever built. It wilL be 440
yards in circuit with a 230-yard
straightaway course, and will no
doubt be the scene of many re
markable athletic performances
during the coming summer
Among the most important
events to be given at the expo
sition are tbe National Amateur
Athletic Union track and field
championships, which have been
scheduled for September 6 and 7
In these games the world's great
est athletes will be seen in
competition.
A feature of this year's
championships will be the intro
duction of the Greek style of
discuss throwing a new event
in American athletics . This
will not take the place of tbe
American or free style. It ' has
been decided to give contests in
the two methods.
On July 4, the all-around
championship, the "Blue Rib
bon" event of the Amateur
Athletic Union, will be held,
and it is expected that several
prominent athletes from all over
the world will enter the contest.
Arrangements are being per
fected thereby the Amateur
Athletic Union basket ball
championships will be held out
doors at tbe exposition during
the second week in August.
The tournament will be divid
ed into three classes, as follows:
115-pound class 180-pound class,
and unlimited weight class.
These classes will be open to all
registered amateur teams, and
will brine to Norfolk the coun
try's fastest players.
The swimming and water
pole championships of the
Union have also been awarded
to the exposition, and will be
given during the week of August
5. The best of the European
swimmers will be invited to take
part -in these courtesies. .. .. .
During the month of June it
is planned to hold a Jamestown
college championship meet,
open to the colleges of the
world. Assurances have already
been received from several col
leges that they will be repre
sented, including the Univer
sity of Michigan, Princeton,
Georgetown, Virginia, Poly
tecnic Institute and Tulane
University. One week is to be
set aside for a military athletic
carnival, and it is the intention
bf the authorities to have co
operate with them tbe Military
Athletic League. During the
week of September 16 an open
tennis tournament will be held.

tion to-day placed their body on
record as unequivocally endors
ing tbe Exposition, both as a
place of instruction and a resort
for pleasure, and expressed ; tbe

pleted in every detail by June 10.
At the conclusion of a lunch
eon in the Swiss village, and
altera dozen prominent South
ern newspaper men, Exposition

Major J. C. Hemphill, of Char
leston News and Courier, offered
the resolution, which was sec
onded try Edgar M. Foster, of
the Nashville Banner, the new
president of the organization.
The resolution follows: , f
"The Southern Newspaper
Publishers, Association, after
making a careful and complete
survey of tbe conditions at the
Jamestown Exposition, desire to
place on record in this ' formal
manner their full appreciation of
the magnitude of the nndertak- j
ing and the marvellous success
its promoters have accomplished
in their patriotic ' work. . The
Southern Publishers deny the
accuracy oi the stories as to the
incompleteness of the Exposi
tion. They are satisfied that by
the middle of June every build'
ing on the grounds will be finish
ed and every exhibit in these
buildings will be in. place. They
declare that it is the opportunity
of the South to make . its re
sources known to the' world,
that it is their duty to themsel
ves and to tbe country ta give
their most loyal support ' to the
great enterprise. They declare
futher that between now and tbe
middle of June, every intelligent
and appreciative man And woman
in the country. North as-well' as
South, East and West, will find
here ample opportunity for both
instruction and pleasure.":: -
