at night.
There is only one candidate for presi-
dent, Judge Moore. of the superior court.
whose popularity practically assures him
a unanimous vote Seven trustees will
be chosen from the following candidates:
e. G. Beede, AL. Buckingham, Irving I.
Cole. o. o. Denny, A. @. Dunn, r. ]. Fish
er. p. J. GIennon. w. w. Jamison. Q. A.
Mckenzie. r. r. Parkhurst, C. X. Robe
son and l.. NJ. Wood.
According to the rules Of the club, the
names OF the different candidates have
been duly posted. and 1t is now too late
for others to seek place on the ticket.
1t is desired that as many as possible
vote, in order that the election may rep
resent the full strength of the club. In
the past there has been only a fair num-
Der of ballots cast. usually less than
third of the total club membership. This
has come about. no doubt, owing to the
fact that there never has been contest.
ed election in the clubs history.
Today there will be no contest. but that
does not affect the desire Of the club to
have the full voting strength polled.
The Seattle Athletic Club and its offic-
falls, especially Prof Crane, deserve great
credit for the splendid smoker given In
the gymnasium Friday evening. Such
boxing contests are highly enjoyable to
those who like such sport, and, owing to
the entire absence of brutality, are not
Objectionable to large majority OF peo-
pie that would otherwise be openly OPP
posed
1t is not the desire OF Prof Crane to
turn his department into a fighting adj
junct of the Athletic Club. but he believes
that the members and the public approve
OF an occasional first-class and strictly
honest boxing match. Prof. Crane hopes
to use the proceeds OF the smoker in get
ting the s. A. G. track and field team In
condition for the spring and summer
games. The trustees of the club, howev-
err. control the finances, or. rather. the
disposition of the money. 1t will certain
ly be unjust to the athletic department IL
the proceeds from the smoker are not de-
voted to athletics. The bowling and bill

themselves, and II there is to be an up

been told on good authority that when the

lying on the trustees to reimburse him.
If this is true, l am of the opinion that
the trustees are to be blamed for not
making provision in advance.
1t Is the duty of the trustees to encour-
age the athletic department, not only NOR
ally. but financially, and hope that the
new board will give this matter careful
consideration. / do not believe in extrava-
gance, but at the same time would like
to see more money devoted to the object
for which the club was organized.

Some of the most interesting and brill
pyrotechnicai. ever seen on the Seattle
Athletic Clubs alleys, occurred in the first
two series of the try-out for the Portland
tournament team. All the twelve men in
vited to take part in this try-out respond
ed with the exception of one, absent from
the city. Every game was. carefully and
dividual rivalry but because of the desire
cherished by nearly all to win place on
the team.
The six men who won out on the first
nights play were, with their scores. as
follows: Higgins, 1877: Bowes, 1856; Cole,
1S5; Barrager. 179; Nelson III. and McKen-
nights play was that Nelson, who had
only the fifth highest score, was first in
percentage bowling; in other words. had
the fewest missed and wild balls In pro-
portion to the number of balls rolled.
The winners of the second nights play.
and their scores, were. with one exception,

Brady. 172; Barrager. 40. and Mckenzie.

many mar good bowiers at the Athletic Club,
and that they are exerting every effort
in this try-out, is seen in the fact that
