Certain members of the Acme Athletic
Club of Oakland are prematurely riled
and declare themselves at outs with the
Olympic Club. The bad feeling grew out
of the recent boxing tournament which
terminated at the Olympic Club last Satur-
day night. John Kitchen of the Oakland
club won in the heavyweight class, and
the Acmes are angry because the medal
has not been a%arued to him. From
technical standpoint Kitchen sh ould re-
ceive the prize, but at the close of the con-
test the Olympic Club directors decided
that be did not deserve it from the way he
fought, and called the match off. Is
said that the directors will reconsider their
action, however, and award Kitchen the
medal.
