a Bloody nose and good punching in the
ribs, but the punishment was all received
while the contestants were clinched and
smashing away at close range.
The Judges, Sam Hughes and P. NJ.
Ward, were unable to decide the bout and
fhe referee, James Smith, thought the best
thing to do in the premises was to order
an extra round, which he did.
At this juncture President Eaton rose
from his seat and announced that the
rules OF the American Athletic Union
do not permit of a fifth round and the
club must consequently adhere to the
laws that govern fisticuffs. The judges
and referee again consulted and then gave
their decision in favor of Smith, who un-
questionably won the bout under the anna
teur rules In q finish contest Sullivan
would defeat Smith i'll all probability, as
he appeared to have the best stamina.
The final event was goOd-natured slog-
girg match between ]. w. Reay OF the
Olympic Club and G.. Bates of the San
Francisco Athletic Club. 1t was difficult
to say which of the two men scored the
greater number of misses, but Reay was
given the decision for having scored a
majority of hits. This ended good

the easier he may ride; but by easy breath

short, quick breaths. Those troubled with
nasal disorders are often compelled to
breathe through the mouth, and when
riding at good rate of speed rapid inhala-

OF breathing is always injurious, and is
more than apt to lead to heart or lung
trouble. Here rapiditv of movement is
not IN itself sufficient to bring about this

HANDBALL.
Young Players Should Be Given
Opportunities to Practice.

Opportunities to Practice.
The banquet held last Saturday evening
at the Occidental handball court was the
result of much good in advancing an inter
est in the game on this coast. 1t is
through such gatherings that a splendid
sport, such as handball is, is made popu-
lar.
AS an impetus to the game the different
courts should give entertainments at least
once year, as at these meetings the very
best of fellowship prevails. There is no
reason why handball should not be among
the most popular and deserving of indoor
pastimes. Its success depends altogether
on how the managers OF the courts con-
duct matters in general
The young men who have a fascination
for the game should be encouraged and
afforded opportunities occasionally to
practice. Every lad who takes fancy to
handball cannot afford the price charged
the seasoned players, but if the managers
of the courts would permit the Younger
heads to practice when the courts are not
engaged in few years hence there would
be plethora OF good players, AMI that is
all that IS required TO make the sport pop
ular, because the admirers of athletic pas
times will flock to see well-contested
games.
AS matters stand at present, the games
played on Sundays are generally contested
by men who play every week in the year
Give the rising generation or athletes a
chance to become familiar with the game
and the future success of handball on this
coast IS assured. 1t must be remembered
that the old horse cannot run forever:
new blood must be forthcoming
