SUPERVISORS GRANT
TWO AMATEUR PERMITS
Some Opposition Develops Against
Giving Privileges to Lincoln and
Hayes Valley Club

permit was granted to the Lincoln
Athletic Club for an amateur exhibi-
ton on April 10 and one to the Hayes
Valley Athletic Club for one on April
22 by the Board of Supervisors yester-
day. Supervisor d'Ancona's motion
that the resolutions be indefinitely
postponed was defeated, receiving only
five votes in its favor.
D'Ancona thought the board should
not grant any Rere permits to anna
teur clubs in view of the fact that
evidence had been adduced that they
did not give genuine amateur contests.
Boxton said that while he was opposed
to granting the permits he had con-
sented In the Police Committee to the
resolutions pending the inquiry into
the charges of the Pacific Amateur
Athletic Association that the two clubs
had violated the amateur rules. Box
ton said he did not think the clubs
would give their shows anyhow, be-
cause the pugilists had formed union
and would not appear unless bigger
purses were offered.

was granted the May permit for pro-
fessional boxing exhibition.
