| SPORTING MELANGE.
Trouble Brewing Over Six-Round
Contests.
The Pacific Association Will Convene
Again on Friday Evening Bill.
lizard Tournament.

The Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic
Association Will hold meeting on Friday
evening, the 25th inst, at the Reliance
Athletic Club rooms, specially to investi-
gate the charges that have been brought
against the Olympic, Acme and Sacra-
mento clubs for giving more than three
round bouts at boxing tournaments and
special match contests.
In speaking of the matter last evening
Superintendent Kennedy of the Olympic
Club said that it is rather late in the day
now for the association to even think OF
investigating charges of this kind, as the
Olympic Club and other clubs of the asso-
citation have been giving four-round bouts
for several years and this is the first time
they have learned of the wrong they had
been doing.
81 will allow that the Amateur Union
rules do not sanction boxing contests of
more than three rounds, but we should
have been apprised of this fact long age"
said Mr.. Kennedy with feeling of con-
tempt and disgust for the men who in
augurated any such rules governing box
ing.
1.-THE members of the Olympic Club have
now become familiar with our boxing rules
and if we must kill the sport all that we
will have to do is to acquiesce in the wishes
of the Amateur Union, which j hardly
think we will do" concluded Mr.. Ken
nedy as he banged his fist on desk by
way of emphasis.
Secretary Pennel of the Olympic Club
has been requested by letter to appear at
the investigation, but as that gentleman
will be busily engaged on Friday evening
next with other matters it is quite prob
able that Superintendent Kennedy will act
as his proxy.
Frank Gilbert, who was matched to box
Muller of the San Francisco Club, cannot
get to the weight specified in the agree
ment, and this evening Mr.. Kennedy
Will endeayor to match him at 140 pounds
against Stewart Carter.
Gilbert scaled 145 pounds last evening,
and he certainly cannot get to 135 pounds
in few weeks unless he subjects himself
to a process of boiling in Turkish baths,
which will certainly weaken him to such
an extent as to leave him an easy game for
his opponent to bag. In all probability a
boxer will be found among the fistic gladi-
ators to pit against Muller in case the Null
ler-Gilbert match is declared off.
The athletes of the Olympic Club have
announced a cross-country run for Febru-
ary from Sausalito to Bolinas. At the
latter place minstrel show will be given,
and on the day following handicap race
will result from Bolinas to Sausalito.
A charity football match will be played
at Central Park on the 25th inst between
Light Battery A and Company D of the
Naval Battalion. 1t will be benefit for
Maria Kip Orphanage and Sheltering
Arms Home.

The fact that DR.. o. B. Burns and W.
Kinsman were to meet last evening drew
quite large gathering of billiard players
to the Olympic Club. These two expert
handlers of the cue are considered as being
the best players of the club, and much in
terest was consequently manifested in the
contest The game was closely contested,
Burns winning by small margin. The
score at the finish stood, 200 for Burns and
