Boxers Who Are Matched

A Stir In Olympic Club Circles Over
Jockey Who Became a Full
Pledged Member.

Ii Is said that Young Mitchell is training
quietly for meeting with Ryan, the Australian
pugilist, and that his friends are sanguine of
bis success provided meeting will be arranged
between the two clever opponents of the fstic
art. Last evening Hickey and Peppers (co-
ored) and Sweeney and Marshall (colored)
signed an agreement TO box ten rounds at the
Midwinter Fair exhibition, which will be held

Matters progressed beautifully until few
evenings ago, when II was learned bv some
strange coincidence that a Jockey who has
been riding bloOded horses at the Bay District
Track had his name proposed by an old and
prominent member OF the club and passed mus.
ter. There Was quite little fuss and feathers
kicked up over the affair. and 1t is said now
that the Jockey and The member who proposed
him for membership have been respectfully re-

further says that there are several other newly

moves over us IN an irregular path and

BAKING POWDER AWARDS,
False Claims by a Chicago Company
That May Finally Lose 1t It's Medal.


There are mutterings of trouble among

exhibited at the Worlds Fair has been too
PERCEPTIONS in claiming everything" in
the way of awards. Its advertisements
that ''the highest award was given it on
every claim, comprising highest in leaven-
ing power. keeping properties, purity and
excellence" prove to be untrue, and have
brought it into conflict with the judges.
There were other powders at the fair
which tested much higher The awards
at the fair were not. as is well known,
competitive. In baking powders a low
standard for strength was fixed by the
judges. and all cream of tartar powders
showing this amount Of gas were given
awards. The powders were tested for this
purpose by the chemical division of the
United States Agricultural Department
There was another test of baking pow
ders. however, made by these same official
authorities, which was com petitive, and at
which the exact strength. quality and in
gradients of the baking powders of the
country were definitely ascertained. The
official report of this com petitive test
shows that the leavening power of the
Chicago powder now making these exag-
gerated claims was II. Is per cent of car
bonlc gas-an amount actually below the
standard fixed by the chemical depart
ment that should entitle powder to
recognition a t the fair. 1t likewise show ed,
as per the report which has been made and
published. that the Royal Baking Powder
was the very highest in strength of all the
powders examined, namely, 1906 per cent
of leaveniDg gas, or 100 cubic inches per
ounce of powder.
