the club has such poor showing"
Yes, the Olympic boxers are undoubtedly
handicapped in this particular, and unless
the merchants change their minds as re-
CARDS the restrictions they have placed on
their employees In this particular. the Olym-
pic Club might just as we'll abolish boxing
tournaments in future. The last one could
hardly be called success, as those VINO
took part were, in the majority, members
of unattached clubs, and their styles of
fighting proved beyond question that their

80 much for boxing and its future in the
Olympic Club.
The championship games can be quoted
as being another good Illustration of the
meageT support that is accorded athletics
by the gentlemen of the Olympic Club who
pride in the honor of being representatives
Of the finest athletic club on the Pacific
Coast
There were about 1000 people present.
1900 of whom were the supporters and
friends Of tile Berkeley University students.
Each time college athlete scored VIC
tory the club cry Of the students could be
heard blocks away from the grounds. 1t
was an honor which the athlete thoroughly
appreciated; and the plaudits OF his club
mates inspired him with further confidence.
How different was the result that followed
the victory of an OIympian.
Not sound from the grand stand was
heard. The recently introduced Olympic
Club cry was dead. Only the huttering
noises of the little flags that added to the
pleasant appearance of the picturesque
grounds spoke their acknowledgment OF a
grand performance.
The university men and their friends
were naturally surprised at the very poor
encourage ment and support the athletes
of the Olympic Club received from their
eliminates.
Indeed. the general belief was to the eff
feet that the Olympic Club was athlete IN
name only, and that ( q new leaf was not
turned over soon i: wOuld drift into its old
place-a social organization.
The all-r0und tournament will be the
next feature of importance, and it would
not surprise the athletes to see some of the
German clubs walk away with the first
Donors. The following are some entries
already made, viz; o. LEM, o. Hauser, L.

Becker. A. Keller and a. Lean.
The turner's Of Oakland, San Jose. Saera-
mento and Petaluma Will have men In the
tournament.
Keller and Lean will be out for first in the
100-yard dash. In the shOt-putting Lean

of first in the side-hOrse contest l.. Hiaz
thinks that he has a cinch in the buck
jumping. Hoffman and Keller expect to
ca ~ off either first or second IN the all
round contests. o. Hauser should make
matters interesting for his competitors on
the parallel bars.
Members of the San Francisco Turn
Verein are OF the OF iniOn that the Verein
Eintracht athletes will be good enough TO
capture second place at the san Jose tour
nament this month. The athletes who rep
resent the German athletic societies con-
tend that If they should receive handsome
medals for prizes instead OF diplomas
there would be less members of the Turn
ers' societies representing the Olympic Club
at its tournaments.
An Oakland correspondent writes: For
nearly a year past the Reliance Athletic
Club has been trying 10 secure new club
rooms as they have to vacate their present
quarters ia the Masonic building. The club
has now made q deal with NOrdhausen
Brothers whereby il will secure fine rooms
The gentlemen named propose to construct
a three-story building on the corner of San
Pablo avenue and Clay street at cost of
500 900 The Reliance Club has decided to
lease the two upper stories OF the building
for period of 10 years. As soon as the de-
tails are arranged the lease will be signed
by the club.
