The San Francisco call., 1903-01-03

TIME executive committee Of the Pa
cidc Athletic Association met last
II night at headquarters in TIE Emma
Spreckels building to talk over the
proposed plans of sending a team of Cali
fornian athletes TO compete in the Olym-
plan games which will probably be held at
the st. Louis Exposition in 1901 The
meeting last night was held simply to
discuss some plan of action. but nothing
wasodone in the way of outlining plans for
the big event
1t is not settled fact that the Olym-
plan games will be held in st. Louis in
1904, but from indications that city has a
chance of securing the great athletic
event, which was originally awarded to
Chicago. The Olympian games are held
every four years in some large city of
the United States or Europe and athletes
from all parts of the world compete.
The st. Louis Exposition people are
making a strong bid for the games in 1904
and considering the fact that the big ex-
position will take place there next year,
st. Louis has an excellent chance of Sc
curing the games.
Herbert Hauser. secretary of the Pa
cific Athletic Asso ooiation, has been cor
responding with jerome Karst, president
of the Western Association of the ANA
teur Athletic Union, regarding the send
ing of a Californian team to compete in
the Olympian games If they are held in
st. Louis.
Mr.. Karst has assured Mr.. Hauser that.
he will do all in his power to promote the
interests Of the Californian athletes. Mr.,
Karst also forwarded a letter which he
received from F. J. Shift, director Of ex-
hibits at the st. Louis Exposition. The
latter in his letter expressed himself as
confident that the Olympian games would
be held in st. Louis.
The aim of the association is to raise
funds to send the team back. 1t will take
about S25OO to pay the expenses Of twenty
athletes, the number which the assocfa-
ton intends. to send. A bill will be
drafted in few days and will be pre-
sented to the Legislature in an endeavor
to have that body put the bill through.
The athletes throughout the State are in
terested in this, they are eligible for
places on the team.
The association will hold its annual ban
quet on Tuesday evening, the 18th inst.

good condition and will need but little
tuning up.
This will be HanIon's first important
fight in this city since he jumped into
prominence as a championship possibility
in his class. He has a large following.
his friends thinking him unbeatable at his
weight.
Attel has met a radmber Of great boxers
and has always SHOWN the greatest conf
dence to take care of himself in a ring
encounter.
1t will be the old story c, the boxer
and the fighter meeting In the ring. Attel
is not considered a hard hitter. although
some of the men he has met have been
severely punished
HanlOn has Sthe reputation of being a
better fighter than a boxer, SO that when
the brace of fA22-peunders clash in the ring
the fur will fly. Some authorities rank
Attel with the unfortunate Grfffo, the
Australian boxer, who was a marvel with
the gloves.
Reports from the East are to the effect
that Terry McGGvern is taking on weight
rapidly. His friends say he will be fight

II comparison with the vast crowd of
the day before business at Ingleside
yesterday appeared dull. Rollcall
- showed but slightly thinned ranks
most of the regulars being present.
The track was muddy and favorites met
with as much hard luck as the Owl Linz
tied. Among the first choices dropped off
on sidings at convenient way stations
were Andrew Ring Mission, Administer,
Matt Hogan and Muresca.
Probably Stunts, from the stable Of
Brown & Peters. was the hottest thing on
the menu. The colt opened in the betting
on the fourth event at 20 to 1 and closed
at 6. 1t proved a false alarm. c. Kelly
rode a perfect race on Ballroom Belle and
the hIly led the grand march, beating
Quatre a head, driving hard. The win
ner's odds went from even money to II
to 5. Reed, on Stunts, managed to get
''sandwiched" soon after the start, never
having an open chance until 1t was too
late.
MANY TIPS IN THE AIR.
There were tips innumerable on the
opening sprint, for which field Of eleven
platers went to the barrier. Tommy
by getting away first with Rose of Hilo
and staying there to the wire. Minder
brought Torila up from seventh position,
beating Angeleno a head for the place.
To the carelessness of Harry Birkenruth
was attributed the defeat Of Garnet Fer
gusons Andrew Ring, the 6 to favorite
for the maiden three-year-old number.
Past the paddock the favorite was head
in front of Ripper, when Birkenruth
laid his whip away. Reed then shook
Ripper up and on the last stride nosed out
the first choice. Tamm, from the Magrane
stable ran third. Indina, after leading
into the stretch, died away to nothing
Mission, with Bullman in the saddle,
had first call in the betting on the seyen-
furlong selling affair After a squally trip
he finished sixth. Goldone did not have
a pleasant voyage, but his skipper. Car
son. found an uncharted channel in the
sail home, dropping anchor two leagues
before Star Cotton The winner was 6 to
! in the betting.
GREYFELD WINS BY A HEAD.
Burns put up a rough-and-ready finish
on Bob Smiths cripple Greyfeld, at the
conclusion of the mile and fifty yard run,
also decided under selling conditions, get

Although it took the hackers of Pres

finish of the last race, they cashed their

The ForgetmenOt.

Everybody knows the pretty little
forgetmenot~ likes the flower more
perhaps because of its name than its
beauty. How was it so called? The
Germans account for it by quite a pa
thetic romance. 1t seems that once up
on time a knight and lady We're
walking by the bank of the Danube
when the latter asked her gallant gay
to pluck for her a tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.
No sooner said than done. but the
knight, overbalancing, fell into the riV-
er and, owing to the slippery nature OF
the bank and the weight of his own ar
NOR, was carried away by the current.
AS he threw the flowers ashore to his
lady he cried out with his last breath,
''Vergiss mein NIGHT" e Forget me not
And ever since the flower has been
looked upon as the emblem of fidelity.
Morris tribune., 1903-01-31
The Colunhine.

There, are some good reasons adduced
by those who favor the claims of the
columbine as national flower. The
colors of the svild varieties are red,
white and blue. The flower is purely
American, quite widespread, hardy.
graceful, beautiful The petals are
perfect liberty caps;;" reversed they
are horns of plenty Columbine
comes from the Latin columbia, a dove;
the peaceful derivation of the word
accords well with our national policy;
the name also recalls Columbus, the
great navigator and discoverer. The
flower also lends itself well to a con-
ventional architectural decoration.
