AMATEUR CLUBS WAR
Amendment to Take From
Organization Control OF
Boxing Shows Proposed
CLUBS WAR

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
rereferred to the Police Committee an
amended ordinance to regulate amateur
boxing exhibitions by eliminating the
section requiring amateur clubs to be-
long to the Pacific Athletic Association
and substituting therefor a provision
that clubs belonging to amy amateur
organization" may secure boxing per-
mits
Action was taken on a charge MADE
by Supervisor Eggers that the asso-
citation named had permitted the anna
teur rules to be violated.
Representatives of the Pacific asso-
citation objected to the amendment and
the newly organized California ANA
teur Association, composed of the Bay
City Hayes Valley, Lincoln and San
Francisco clubs, which have withdrawn
from the first named organization,
spoke in favor of IL, as it would give
the California association jurisdiction
in the matter.
The Olympic Club, by ". G. Har-
rison, president, and J. Elliott, secre-
tary. sent a communication to the
board stating that there is only one
amateur organization-the Pacific Attn
letic Association-which has control of
amateur sports in this city. The. COM
munication is relative to an effort made
by an organization of four clubs to
have the ordinance regulating amateur
boxing amended so that clubs belong
ing to any amateur organization may
secure permits for exhibitions.
fIa
Olympic Club does not consider the
four clubs in question as amateur,
claiming they are interested in boxing
purely for the profit therein, and If
there be any more than one central
lied body to govern the amateur
sports, amateurism in San Francisco
will become a farce.
Supervisor Buxton opposed the
amendment, holding that control
should not be taken away from the
Pacific association, while Braunhart
wanted light on the alleged Superior
Court decision that the Supervisors
had no legal right to designate what
association amateur clubs shall belong
to. Eggers said the decision was plain
on it's face and charged that the Pa
cific association had violated the rules
by allowing trophies valued in excess
of the legal amount to be given TO con-
testants, but the latter statement was
denied by George James. Supervisor
Brandenstein held that Eggers' charge
required that an investigation be held,
which was ordered
The amendment increasing the value
of trophies that may be allowed to con-
to print.
The resolution granting the Bay City
Club permit for an amateur exhibi
tion on April s, which had been set
aside. pending the settlement of the dis
pute, was adopted. as the club has been
put to some expense for the same.

WOULD FORBID
POOL SELLING
Amended Ordinance Intro
duced to Stop Placing of
Wagers Upon Horse Races

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
referred to the joint Judiciary and Po-
lice Committee a proposed amendment
to ordinance 577, regulating and re-
stricting horse racing. The amend
ment provides that it shall be unlaw-
full to sell pools thereon, except within
the inclosure where racing is carried
on. The amendment follows:
TT shall be unlawful for any per-
son or corporation to sell or buy pools
or make books or make or receive, as
principal or agent or. otherwise, any
bet or wager whereby money or other
representatives of value are staked or
pledged on races or other contests be-
tween horses, except within the in
closure of race track, and only upon
horse races held within said inclosure
and conducted within the limit of forty
(40) days in any one calendar year,
prescribed by section one % hereof"
In explanation of the amendment
Brandenstein said it was a well-known
fact that pools are being sold on races
outside the track Enclosures and that
the present ordinance was being
evaded on the plea that cigar stores
were only receiving the money to be
bet on the races and sending it to the
Oakland track. The amendment was
designed 10 remedy defect in the ex-
listing law, under which it is impossible
to secure conviction.
The ordinance prohibiting the rent
ing or leasing of buildings for immoral
purposes was referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
