Lean appears 10 be very muScle-bound-in
fact, he carries too many mountains OF muscle
on his body aud neither eXtTemitieS to enable
him 10 perform The cat-llke movements OF an eX-

on his opponent, the chances are IN his favor Of
retaining II aud carpetlng his opponent should
The lock be dangerous one. hOl0 Is however
as active as young Kitten and although Lean

the University OF Berkeley and the Olympic.
This year the change in affairs Will be especially
noticeable on tie held, as there Will be five or
SIX clubs representing Oakland, Alameda and
