ATHLETICS.
The P. C. A. A. A. Will Meet Next
Wednesday Evening.
Corbstt Plays Return Joke on Professor
Meihling-Entries for the Sheffield
Handicap-A Club Dinner.

In consequence OF a quorum not being present
last evening at the Olympic Club the Pacific
Coast Amateur Athletic Association postponed
Its meeting until next Wednesday evening. when
the annual election OF officers will be held. As
some OF the officers Of the association are
representatives of the Berkeley University. 1t is
somewhat unreasonable to expect them to at.
tend weekly meetings on this side of the bay
when only matters OF small importance are to be
considered. Now that the championship games
are over and the principal work attached to an
event of this kind has been completed, motion
WILL in all probability be made next Wednesday
evening that the weekly meeting. be dispensed
with and semi-monthly meetings substituted.
