BOXING And BOWLING.
Two Events Added to Olympic
FiSticuffS.
A Good Programme Of Games for the
Charity Field Day-The Bowl.
ing Tournament.

The special boxing matches to take place
at the Olympic Club, on the evening of
February Is, have been augmented by two
additional matches, making ten events in
all. The latest on the boxing calendar are
Mcmahon and Murphy, feather-weights,
and Crowley and Dalton, middle-weights.
The latter brace was tried out on Monday
evening and passed successful examina-
ton before Professor William Kennedy,
the hawkeye of the boxing arena. The
club has acceded to the wishes of the
Pacific Amateur Athletic Association, and
the bouts will be of four-round duration
instead of six rounds as formerly intended.
| Of course, in contests where the Judges are
in doubt as to the merits of the boxers at
the end of the fourth round, an extra
round will be in order, and should there
| still remain a doubt in the judges minds
as to which of the men should receive the
| award another round will be ordered. 1t
might as well be stated here that in conse-
| quence of the great care and judgment
that was exercised by Superintendent
Kennedy and Professor Watson in the
| selections of boxers from the large army OF
talent available, the men who have been
! chosen to tap, duck and get away from
fistic punches are so evenly matched that
the bouts will run into the extras in most
| cases.
Billy Kenealey is training like beaver
| for his little argument with the great and
only Miller of the San Francisco Athletic
| Club. This contest will terminate the
! evenings entertainment. Possibly an adj
| ditional entertainment may be added to
the already excellent programme of fisti-
cuffs. Many members now of the Olympic
Club have had the pleasure of seeing the
| famous "Yammie" of Yamhill Or, settle
! with the well-known Dan Kemp at the old
| California Club. The bouts between those
two famous gladiators' were most anus
| ing, and invariably created roars of laugh
| ter Possibly Superintendent Kennedy
may succeed in clinching an agreement
with those two well-known sparrers to APP
pear in four-round exhibition bout. Such
an event would be highly interesting and
| decidedly amusing.
