"GIANTS" Irish-American President Declares Our Men Will Take Place of "Big" Men of Emerald Isle In an interview with Henry King in the Xew York World, P. J. Conway, president of the Irish-American Ath letic club, declares that sports are making giants of the American people and that the activity of the country's ' °unc men will cause Americans to take the place of Ireland's sons as tho "big" men in track and field events. Mr. King says: "Before the next generation Ameri ca will have displaced Ireland as the home of athletic giants. The men from the Emerald Isle will continue to grow to a gigantic size, but our men will surpass them physically. "Athletics will accomplish this; sports made the Celts the most power ful race physically in the world, and they will do the same for us; they will make our men bigger and stronger, healthier and heavier, and before an other decade the -Irish giant and 'whale' will be heard of only in his own land. It will be the American who will attract the atention of the world for his powerful phvsique " This is how Patrick J. Conway, the veteran president of the Irish-Ameri can Athletic club, began an interview in which he was asked to tell his im pressions of the jport. Mr. Conway is 56 year old. When a youth in Ireland he was a great ath lete. \v hile he participated in all kinds of sport, he made a specialty of throwing the heavy weights. To-day his physician says he is physically per fect. Like the late James E. Sullivan, Mr. Conway is a student of athletics He has made a study of the game and knows all the intricate points of all track and field sports. He has been president of the Irish-American Ath letic club for twenty years, and has directed the development of many of the world's greatest athletes. What the Irish lad did centuries ago. our boys are doing now," con tinued Mr. Conway. "In all parts of Ireland athletic sports were consid ered part of the boy's duties. Their parents were athletes and they were compelled to take them up too. No poor boy was too poor to be an ath lete. It he lacked sufficient money to belong to an athletic club where he oould he taught alt kinds of sport he formed a little club of his own; if implements or track togs were not within his reach he hurled heavy stones as weights and ran races in "homemade" togs. He was seeking strength and health, and he got it. "Now that is exactly what Ameri can lads are. doing to-day. Their par ents and teachers realize the good athlettcs will do for the youngsters and they compel the children to take up some kind of sport. They send the huskier ones to run across coun try, others to take short runs, still others are sent to the ball field, the gridiron, the gymnasium, the basket ball court and even to the boxing and wrestling rInRS. "Any of these are good for boys. While I personally believe track and field sports are best to develop our young men, I know too that baseball and boxing and all other kinds of sport will work wonders for a hoy. If the parents and teachers will keep the boys from overdoing it, I repeal that many youngsters of to-day will develop into men as big and strong as our McGralhs. Ryans, McDonalds and Flanagans .who were Imported from the Emerald Isle." 1 FEDERAL LEAGUE I IN FIELD SATURDAY Beat Majors to Game by Four Days; Many New Faces in This Season's Line-up New York.
