w. a. Henry of the University of Call
fornia has not yet received any acknowl-
edgment from the secretary of the Ameri-
can Union, regarding the worlds record he
made at the Olympic Club grounds several
months ago.
Henry ran a 120.yard hurdle race over
sticks feet inches in height in 1914 Sec
onds.
Three OF the most competent timers Of the
coast clicked Henry on this occasion and
their affidavits were forwarded to the secre-
tary OF the union who has not, up to the
present time, thought worth his while 10
give the matter the least consideration.
The Olympic Club OF this city has had
enough of the American Athletic Union,
and at very near date it will sever lis con-
nectioE with that government of affairs
athletic.
On August of this year D. D. Bulger, the
Irish champion Splinter, ran the same dis
lance and over hurdles of the same height
near Dublin, in Is 40 seconds.

The contest at the Palo Alto CLUB on FRI
day evening would have ended very salts
factorily had it not been for the attack
made on Joe King by the colored fighter.
Dobbs, when King crossed from his corner
to shake hands with his defeated opponent.
Dobbs should have been arrested by the
officers who were present and witnessed the
disgraceful affair, as he was the originator
of a row that would have developed into
serious affair were 1t not for the speedy
interference of the authorities.
Eyamnles of men who make g practice OF
creating disturbances at fstic contests
should be made, aud 1t is the duty OF the
directors of the clubs TO have men OF the
Dobbs class thrown into prison without any
parley or delay In the matter.
The Black Pearl is a very sick man to-
day mentally and physically. His defeat
by King makes the third fight he has lost in
this city and it is presumed that 1t will be
his last.
The black pug can bless his stars, how
ever. that he carries on his massive should
ers a skull hard enough and strong enough
TO resist heavy blow. The fall which he
received when the back Of his head struck
the boarded floor just outside the mating
WAS sufficiently severe to crack the skull OF
q mule.
AS it was. he remained unconscious for
half an hour, and only after most liberal
sponging and hand-rubbing he showed signs
of life.
A good master of ceremOnieswith a COM
mandlDg voice would ala the cIuD very
materially in preserving order. The noise
made by the spectators dnring the fight was
altogether uncalled for and sh ould be
stopped.
Mr.. Huber states that he has written to
Judge Mortimer to ship him the grand
pointer which the latter gentleman pur-
chased during his visit in England. The
dog will be here next week. and local sports
men can then feast their eyes on the crack
| pointer of America.
According to letters that have been re-
ceved recently by John Grace of this city
there will be a number of dogs that are now
| entered for the American Coursing Clubs
| meeting at Great Bend, Kansas, on October
| %, take part in the MERGED coursing event,
which will take place November Is.
According to the Record Union of Sacra-
mento. the Spoonbill Gun Club of the latter
city and the Green Valley Club of Ell Do
RADIO County have arranged club shoot at
bluerocks. The match will take place at
Folsom. Sacramento County, on Novem-

John o. Cadman has been elected secre-
tary of the State SpOrtsmen's Association,
vice Poet c. W, Kyle, resigned. Cadman
has always taken a quiet interest in field
sports with dog and gun and should make
an excellent secretary.
