The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-01

! Mr.. Putzher has not done any racing for
some time, but will undoubtedly be heard
from again this season. His photo &C
companies this article.
First Lieutenant Fred B. Wilkins also
gives promise of becoming a very fast
man. His first appearance in a race was
in the Crescents' three anda quarter miles
road race, in which he took time prize. He
had done no training and easily outrode
miles in z hours, and few evenings ago
made five miles in 141s minutes against a
strong wind.
Pete Kroman is another speedy young
man, and will no doubt give good ac-
count of himself in the near future.
Some of the other good wheelmen are
Frank Thompson, George Wilcox and Bert
Price. Messrs. PutZker, Wilkens, Kroman
and Thompson have signihed their inten-
tons of entering the Santa Cruz races.
The club has splendid opportunity to
secure a new building. AT a meeting of
the directors held few, evenings ago a
proposition was presented by one of the
board which in all probability will lead to
something definite. The gentleman who
preached the proposition is prominent in
business circles in Berkeley, is wealthy, and
has unbounded faith in the success of the
Crescent Club. The new structure will be
located on Center street, half block from
DClACiCs otdblOll. anu StO1c tlIOW ITOUl
the university grounds. The building will
be two stories high and have a frontage of
100 feet. In the rear will be the gymna-
SUM, dressing and bath rooms, while the
front will be fitted up for stores. Upstairs
will be several large rooms for the use of
the mem bers. The location is unsurpassed,
being in the heart of town. The building
will be fitted up with all the modern i'm
provements, and it is expected that within
two months the new building will be in
condition for the clubs reception.
