Irish American Athletic Club : ウィキペディア英語版 | Irish American Athletic Club The Irish American Athletic Club was an amateur athletic organization, based in Queens, New York, at the beginning of the 20th century. ==Early years== Established on January 30, 1898, originally as the "Greater New York Irish Athletic Association", they shortened the name to the Irish American Athletic Club a few years later. They purchased a plot of land in what was then called Laurel Hill, Long Island, near Calvary Cemetery, Queens, and built a state-of-the-art athletic facility on what was farmland.〔"A New Athletic Club: Greater New York Irish A. A. has already Secured Quarters." ''The New York Times'', January 31, 1898: p. 4.〕 The stadium, called Celtic Park, formally reopened after renovations on May 9, 1901, and until the facility was sold for housing in 1930, some of the greatest American athletes trained or competed on Celtic Park's track and field.〔"Athletic Field Remodeled. Celtic Park in New Garb to be Re-opened Monday." ''The New York Times'', May 10, 1901: p. 10.〕 The Irish American Athletic Club adopted a winged fist adorned with American flags and shamrocks as their emblem, with the Irish Gaelic motto ‘Láim() Láidir Abú’ or ‘A strong hand will be victorious,' and were often referred to as the 'Winged Fists'. At one time they had clubs in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Yonkers, New York.〔''New-York Daily Tribune'', November 25, 1910.〕
