Athletes Who Have Been Booked to Box
Next MOnth-The Expelled List
for December.

There were stirring times at the Olympic
Club last evening among the boxers, wrestlers
and gymnasts, but more especially among the
former, as a few boxing trials had been an
nounced TO take place in the garrett and.away
from general observation.
AS previously stated, the special match box
ing night will fall on the 9TH of February. and
the boxing committee, with Superintendent
Kennedy at The helm. will leave no stone un-
turned To make the coming tiSticuff exhibition
one of particular merit.
There viii be eight special matches among
the leading boxers OF the Olympic, San Fran
cisco and Acme Athletic clubs, and the follow
Ing men have already been selected TO box: M.
kirehner OF the San Francisco Club. who de-
feated s. Vcin at the last tislic exhibition, VIII
meet j. w. lay OF the Olympic IN a siX.round
bout Reay defeated q. Bates at the last eXhi.
billion. They will box at 145 pounds. j. F.
Miller or the San francisco Club will positively
meet w. j. Kenealy of the Olympic Club on
this occasion. The latter was sick when they
were to have met before and the contest was
declared of. W. j. Feldcamp, first-cass out.
door athlete of the olympic, will try cOnclu.
sions with B. Brown of the Acme Club at 156
pounds. w. f. Britt, very clever bantam
weight, will have the pleasure of meeting w. F.
Smith in four-round contest.
Several attempts have been made by the
committee 10 arrange a meeting between w.
Mckinley, the clever Australian amateur, and
+. Gilbert. who is one of the crack boxers OF
the Olympic.
Gilbert would not consent 10 box at any
weight under 13S pounds, which is four pounds
in excess of McGinley's heaviest fighting
weight.
J. Kelly of the Olympic will do his utmost to
convince, by the power OF his gloved fists, ~. j.
Dalton OF the same club that he Is the better
man. The boxers are matched to spar at 15S
pounds.
j. A. Mckinley was finally matched last
night 10 meet NJ. Sullivan of the San Francisco
Athletic Club at 1873 pounds. This contest
should prove decidedly interesting as the men
are very clever.
F. McGinnis and C. FL. Catbcart will also
amuse the members by an exhibition of fistic
science, which will end with the six round.
The selections are considered the best that
could possibly have been made.
SO far as sx-Tound contests are concerned,
Superintendent Kennedy stated that he had
already written to he secretary of the A. A. u.
for his consent, and that he was almost posi-
tive the request would be granted, as the new
Manhattan Club OF New York, which is one of
the leading clubs connected with the union,
held boxing tournament recently and the
bouts were SIX ana eight rounds. OF course
the rules OF the union state that boxing con-
tests must not exceed four rounds, but excep-
