Sacramento and Olympic
Club Boxers.
The Capital City Boys Are Anxious
for Another Drubbing-Tennis
and Wrestling.

The boxers of the Sacramento Athletic
Club are evidently not satisfied with the
drubbing they received at the, Olympic
Club tournament judging by their anxiety
to receive a secondary nosewarming. The
secretary Of the Sacramento Club sent
WORD to the Olympic Club yesterday that
it would like to make the following match
es, which would have to be decided at
Sacramento and under the Sacramento
Clubs auspices: William McGraw against
James Fox of the Acme Club at 125 pounds,
Ii. J. SpauJer against Frank Gilbert Of
the OlympicS atl55 pounds, William D0na-
hue against Stewart Carter of the Olympics
at 145 pounds, Wells B rdsall against \.
Gallick of the OlympicS at 125 pounds.
Gsllick was delighted when he heard
that the report was authentic. He said
that nothing imaginable could or would
give him more pleasure than TO prove to
the gentlemen Of the city Of the plains
that he is the master of Mr.. Birdsall or
any other man the club can put f'rward at
125 pounds. Galick was surprised that
the Sacramento club still believed that its
representative was still in the race.
tox Of the Acme Club. who Is proprietor
of a large tonsoriai snop in Oakland, could
hardly realize that McGraw wanted an
other good punching.

regard TO the matter. 81 cannot really be-

now that the only way to convince an am

Tior is to send him to tGe hand of Nod as
quickly as possible. | regret TO say that |

kind offer of the Sacramento Club. as |

Stewart Carter of the Olymp Club
laughed when "a friend had informed him of
the latest move in fisticuffS.
DO you suppose that Donahue means
business, or is this thing all bluff ?'
asked Carter Of the friend who had broken
the news to him.
When answered In the affirmative Car
ter put on one of those elongated smiles
which Secretary Kennedy says is open to
inspection, and answered right off the
reel that il Mr. DOnahue wants a repeti-
ton of what he received in this city he
could be accommodated. provided that the
contest be held on Saturday evening, as on
any other evening Of the week he could
not leave this city.
Il dare say" concluded Carter. "that to
prove to the Sacramentans that am Don

quarry TO his little bed when we will meet
again"
Frank Gilbert was seen by a CALL re-
