BOXING AND WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS.
As there are number of members in the
several athletic organizations OF the city who
are debarred in taking pa in the coming
@. A. G. open events, because there are no
boxing and wrestling numbers IN the list,
it seems to me that it would prove beneficial
to these two branches OF sport to have open
championships In them week or wo after
the gymnastic events now being arranged.
These two branches were left out of the c.
A. C. events because it was thought best not
TO have SO distinctly separate branch OF
wise conclusion it is.
Now in order to give all our local boxers
aud wrestlers chance 10 win something, it
might be well to hold this separate event,
and so that the expense may not he too
heavy on any one club 1 would suggest that
all the organizations who have aspirants for
honors in their line. and who would of
course make entries, get together and pool
sum of money necessary to buy suitable
trophies or prizes and then offer them FOR
championships in the several weights and
classes of the two sports named.
Each club would be more than Reimbursed
for its outlay from the amounts received
from entries and for admissions.
II the local wresters and boxers. and we
have a number of good ones. are out for big
ger game and higher honors, they will have
an opportunity at the Amateur Athletic
Union boxing and wrestling championships
to be held at Allegheny City, Pa. on March
%, entries for which close on March ~, with
J. d. Drum. 70 Irwin avenue. Allegheny City.
The boxing events will be for bantam, 105,
or under; feather, 115. or under; special, 125,
or less; light. 135, or under, and middle. 15S.
or under. The wrestling events at same
weights. This city should be represented.
BOWLING AND BASKETBALL LEAGUES.
With last nights bowling games between
Y. NJ. C. C. and W. A. C. the league closed
its schedule, and now the "I-told-y you-so's''
have their innings.
The Carroll Institute team for the second
| time holds the local championship. Locraft
| OF the same team, wins the prIle. a pair of
! trousers. donated by Parker, Bridget & Co.,
| for the highest number of strikes. The team
has also won full series from each of the
| other teams, and made the largest number of
strikes and spares
The CAROLS are now the holders of the
| German silk championship pennant.
The special meeting of the Basketball
| League. held at the Infantry Armory last
night, was made necessary 10y the postpone
ment OF several games scheduled for recent
| dates. The revised schedule of unplayed
| games will be strictly adhered to. and the
team which fails to appear at the proper
time and on the evening scheduled will for
felt the game to the team on the field ready
to play.
Enough games remain unplayed to make
the series full OF interest. and all sorts of
race are possible, and several surprises are
predicted.
The team which shows the greatest i'm
provement in Its team work during the past
fortnight is that of the Washington Athletic
| Club. Its tie game with W. l.. /. and its
holding the G. l. down to two goals shows
plainly the great Improvement. 1t needs
! practice now in throwing for goal. IT will,
no doubt, prove quite factor in the league
race.
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
Iuo 0Nculs VI Iu6 VI
A. C. are creating considerable interest, and
large entry list is likely TO result.
The events will be held on either March 81
or 2s, more than likely the former. Prof
| George Goldie, physical instructor at Prince
| ton, will be referee, and this means that all
| events will be decided impartially and en-
| tirely on their merits.
Entry blanks will be sent out early in the
coming week to all athletic organizations in
the District Entries will be received only
| from bona-fide organizations, aud no entries
| from unattached athletes will be considered
Valuable prizes will be given to first and
second men in each event, and possibly a
| prize will be given for the largest number of
points made by an entry for general ex-
celenee.
The events will include parallel and hori-
zontal bar, flying rings, batteau board for
| height, running high jump, standing broad
| jump, pole vault, high kick, hitch and kick
| being allowed, and 16-pound shot. The
| list covers wide enough field for all the
organizations here to make several entries.
Let's make this big local event.
Fencing was left out. because the club felt
| that having the acknowledged best amateur
| here in that line, that it would be a walk
over for it and unfair to other clubs for this
reason TO pus in that event.
Allen is likely TO be formidable COM
petitor on the horizontal bar. He is doing
great work. Prof Crossley is working hard
| to get him in shape.
SeweIl is adding some new tricks on the
| horizontal bar.
| McElhone is well again and working hard
| for the pole vault AID high leaping events.
Dudley and Emmons are brushing up on pole
yauiting. They are now tie at nine feet
four, the club record. McElhone will work
hard to beat that.
The tenpin team is now taking rest, but
will shortly take up practice individually for
the club championship tournament.
The league am having carried of nearly
all the team and individual honors Of the
