Starter" in a recent publication of a
weekly society sheet, speaking of the
championship games, remarks:
Unjust confess that j was seriously
disappointed with the performance of
our amateur athletes at the Pacific Coast
championships. With the exception of
the broad jump and the sprints, one is
forced to smile at the laggard way in
which the hands of the clock were
allowed TO go on and the brief bit of the
measuring tape that was needed to mark
the winning distances. To he sure the
half-mile record was beaten. but 2:03 3-5
is scarcely much of record to demolish.
Now in the first place the only preference
in the spriDts worthy of notice would be
the 100-yard event. the final heat of which
was run in 10 2-5 seconds; the 220-yard in
"a 1-5 seconds was the slowest time ever
made in championship on the coast. and
the 440yard distance in 53R seconds the
poorest performance since 1889"

A few years hence and many of the
athletic champions of this city Will take
pride in saying that they were former
members of the Junior Olympic Club
This active organization of young athletes
will soon exceed the fondest expectations
eff eX-PresidenJ Harrison, its originator
and promoter. just prior 10 entering the
new quarters on Post street Mr. Harrison
saw the good results which might ensue
from organizing a club of youths between
the ages of Is and q years, giving them
healthy love for athletics, and training
them for the time when they would be
called upon to enter the ranks Oh the
seniors. The club was organized with
twenty-five charter members. James Nc
Elroy beng elected president, George
Woolrich vice president, and Fred W..
Evens secretary. 1t was successful from
the start. and now, Notwithstanding that
the senior club has drawn freely from their
ranks during the past year. they stlll nave
membership Of over 100.
Having nearly all the privileges OF the
club during the week they are nearly all
good athletes. Saturday night the swim
miDg-tank is the favorite point OF interest
to the juniors. and under tue able tuition
of Professor Clark they have all become
good swimmers. Professor George Green
is the boxing instructor for the club. and
Professor Belau is the teacher of gymaas-
tics.
The club particularly excels in outdoor
athletics. having several fine runners and
good football-Dlayers.
At the meeting of the club Tuesday
evening, October a. for the annual cleo
tion of officers the following were the sue

Arthur G. Hewitt, the wrestler of the

In the Breeder and SDortsman's issue Of
October 81 "Arpattius" remarked in con-
nection with the twG-mile walk at the Pa
cifc Coast championship meeting:
"T ates, who always proves an eypsore to
the judges of walking, made no effort to
keep within the rules of fair heel and toe
walking. After sprinting the first quarter
of c mile he Just barely missed severe
dIubbing at the hands of the Judge
whom he has been unjustly maligning for
the past three years.
Il will grant that Mr.. \ ateS must be an
eyes0re to the gentleman who acted In the
capacity of Judge of walking at the meet
ing in question, as he has disqualified him
on nearly every occasion that he has had
chance to do so. will not dwell on the

1T seems almost incredible that an Off

There probably would not be more than

The college boys last week received the
medals won at the intercollegiate games
last spring. They are quite artistic; gold
ones to the first and silver to the second
ald third place men. One great obstacle
to the fullest and most rapiG development
OF athletics on the coast is the poor quality
OF the medals and the uncertainty of re-
celving them. If a man breaks coast
record here he only receives rerhaps a S5
medal, and has to wait for months to re-
celve that.
The winners in the recent champions ship
games do not know how long they will
have to wait for their medals. as the asso-
catlon is believed to have no money and
is even in debt, so that the medals cannot
be ordered. The treasurer, however, is
