BY Johnson 0 HARMONY -OUT OF DISCORD Former President of Athletic Union Predicts success of Kroruanlsutlon NEW TORK, Dec 81. Harmony out of diHcord, and more compleia organisation out of disruption, a new national and International birth for sport, ls what James K. Sullivan, former pres. dent of the Ameri can Athletic union, believes the futura holds ln store tor sporting in general. "All these controversies," he said, to day, referring to tne breach between east and west In golfing, tennla, skating and some of the Ittser departments ui national sport, "are much to be regretted, but mark this: They will all result In a oleaner and broader basis fur athletics ln this country." Although the winter has seen already more dissension than ln several years, It ls Mr. Sullivan's firm belief that the pres ent sectional division of sports will con stantly broaden toward the national Idea. And one necessity to effect this growth, ha holds Is a supreme court of appeals in all sport. "There are three or four millions of peo ple ln organised athletics of all sorts In this country," said Mr. Sullivan. "And the center of that athletic population is con stantly moving westward. , .Thirty years ago it was concentrated in and. around New York, but we have been forced time after time to acknowledge that the west ls rapidly effecting a balance ln tha coun try's athletic Interests. "The A mm loan Athletla union this year held Its national championships in Seattle, In the coming year they will be held in New Orleans, and a Chicago man Is now president of the union. These concessions oame naturally and hava resulted in gen eral benefit to sport. ' "We must have, and ' shall hava soma day, an International board of full control, with International rults and regulations. ' Though the tennis and golf , sttnatlona hava developed no new phases within the last few day a, it la evident, the leaders say, that the breach between the east and west ls a wide one. Kapeclally, It would appear that, If tha National Lawn Tennla ' association, which meets here soon, does not recognise the western demand for a clay court national tournament, tha west erners will withdraw, iMr. Sullivan ls inclined to favor tha western attitude, though the matter la ad mittedly outside the Jurisdiction of tha American Athletla union 4 Indlanoin Defenta Sooth Omaha.
