AMATEUR ATHLETES
Won't Accept Prize Fighters in the
Association


SAN FRANCISCO, August 3O.-The
Amateur Athletic Association of the Pa
cific Coast, recently organized with the
Olympic, Acme and Fresno clubs as
charter members, has adopted a consti-
tuition raising the standard of amateur
ism and defining very strictly who are
amateurs.
At present all athletic associations are
equally represented in the association.
The new constitution substitutes a new
basis of representation by compelling
clubs devoted to a special branch of ath-
etics to form sub missions, to enter the
main association on an equal footing
with universities or general athletic
|clubs.
Boxing and wrestling clubs are exclud-
ed from the association on the ground
that to enforce strict amateurism in
such clubs is practically impossible.

British Columbia, bringing confirmation
of the story that racing throughout the
Northwest is now under control of the
association. With all the tracks in South

throughout the Pacific Coast is absolute.
1t is proposed to change the name Of the

up the control OF racing rather than clash

SAWpUsT AS MERCHANDISE.

HH"HH@HH
Sawdust as an article OF merchan-
disc Is not calculated to excite the
commercial cupidity OF ambitious
merchants, yet pr0salc and common
place as Is the commodity itself, II NJ
f0ds a distinctive branch OF trade
and ranks as thriving, although lin
tied, uffshOot OF the larger industries.
In Philadelphia there are perhaps
half q dozen dealers in sawdust, and
they have as much as they car do TO
supply the demand.
These dealers obtain their supply
mainly from the lumber mills and
packing.box manufacturers OF the
city, but as these sources are not al
ways sufficient, they import quite a
quantity Of sawdust from the South
crn lumber mills, onc firm alone get.
ting as much rs three car loads a
month in this way.
Sawdust reaches the consumer In
bags, which contain three bushels
and weigh forty.fve to fifty pounds
each. The dealers wagon goes over a
