This is the blow with which ! count

Hanlon is going on in his prepara

of spirits and is as light hearted as a
school boy. Eddie finds great JOY in
romping with the "kids' around his
training quarters, and is great favor
lite with the youngsters.
Corbett, according to those who are
close in the favor OF the little cham
pion, is credited with having a great
pugilistic coup up his sleeve and will
show up his hand when he faces Han
lon. 1t is said that the .Denverite
played foxy trick when he let Hanlon
stay with him in the last fight and con-
tented himself with having the bout

a return engagement and betting on
himself to beat the coast fighter in

Great Cooked Hat Game
at G. D. A. Alleys
Tonight

A great game of cooked hat will be
played at the private alleys of the
Occur d'Alene tonight. The Tumwater
team has at last come to the scratch
and this afternoon put up the forfeit
money TO bind a match with the
Dutch Jake team. The Dutchman's
force say they will put it all over the
team organized by Henry Seiffert, and
that the victory will be as complete
as the salve TO Bill Shannon's feelings
when he arrested Professor" Price
last night.
According to the rules of the game,
the losers will pay for the use of the
alleys, all refreshments and also lose
pretty good side bet. 1t will be the
best three out of five and both teams
are making considerable talk which
sounds like Jim Corbett monologue
in fog.

Athletic Club Election
Is Not Far OF
Now

The election at the Spokane lAmate-
ur Athletic club is now not far off and
there is much talk at the present time
as TO which of the members will 60 10
the new board of directors. The
election will be in no wise bitter one,
but there is just one thing that will
provoke big fight among the mem
bers. For months and months past,
Spokane has been dull in an athletic
way as things are at the club since Bill
Norman "swiped" the best portion of
the quarters to build his famous Silver
Grill. There is force that has in
the past worked against the boxing
game at the club; there is another
force that has done its best to promote
all athletic sports including boxing.
The fight at this election will be
between these two elements. The
club was formed originally as an ath-
letic organization. Although reluct-
ant to admit it, even when the quarters
were all that could have been desired
at the time. it was the hardest job to
pull off a first class bout of any
nature.
This is a state of affairs that is to
be deplored. Not only will the hold
ing of boxing matches help to build mp
and keep interest alive at the club.
but from financial point of view. it
will greatly benefit the organization
There is another proposition afoot
now--to hold a contest at the new club
building before it is completed. 1t is
realized it will take some time to fin
ish the building in every particular.
Is there any reason why the commit
tee on athletics cannot get together
and promote a mill before the build
ing is completed? There will soon be
plenty of space under cover so that an
ampitheatre could be completed in
short time.
Two of the best little fighters in
the country can be brought to this
city and both are in the championship
class. Enough money can be made out
of the contest to not only guarantee the
fighters a fat purse, but to leave big
net for the club which will go a long
way in paying off the Indebtedness.
Even the third rate fight between
''Kid' Fredericks and Dude Lewis
packed the small quarters before. Then
what will a fight between top-notchers
do underline new conditions where the
sectmg capcit- will be more than
trebled? Then again how long will
it take the club to clear itself of its
indebtedness by depending upon the
membership, bowling alleys, baths,
billiard tables etc?
Draw your own inference, and see
that To bo hoo J ,,-,11
mote the fighting game. If it's to be
an athletic organization let it be one,
but if is to be the twin brother to an
old maid society then call in the hui
name society and save those. who truly
want to see the club an organization
euch as the name would indicate.
