WOMEN DEDICATE
NEW GYMNASIUM
William Greer Harrison's
Remarks Contain a Lot
of Good Athletic Sense

Last evening was a memorable one
at the Jefferson Square Club building.
The San Francisco Women's Athletic
Association headquarters were formal
ly dedicated with pomp and ceremony
befitting the occasion. A full house
prevailed long before William Greer
Harrison. president Of the Olympic
Club and star of the occasion, rose
to give the ladies advice on how to be-
come strong as well as beautiful.
Mr.. Harrison was greeted with ap-
plause and throughout the twenty min
utes of his discourse every one in the
house was all attention, eager to catch
every word uttered by the well-known
athletic authority. He passed out
some good solid advice-the kind that
will count If the ladies will follow il
out.
This club is already q success" said
Mr.. Harrison in the course Of his re-
marks. You have started out right,
you have adopted the right principles
and now the thing to do is to keep go
ing ahead and some day soon 1 hope
to see a number of star women per-
formers in action at one Of our Olym-
pic Club entertainments.
''One of the first things women ath-
letes will have to do is to leave their
pride behind them in the dressing
room. From what experience l have
had with women athletes 1 find the
principal thing that troubles them ii
their latest costume. Now none OF you
should worry about how you look in
your gym suit. It's the work that con-
Germs you, not the dress and each and
every one of you will have to labor for
results.
You should all consult your doctor
before you begin to take exercise. The
president of this club will be glad to
give you advice and / take great
pleasure in recommending you to her.
Every woman can gain grace and
beauty through athletics and / say it
is a shame for any woman to be home
ly when she can attain beauty by this
simple, healthful remedy.
This will be a true athletic club in
every sense of the word and / feel
gratified to know there will be no vul-
gar prizefighting held here and even
more so for the fact that there will be
no fake amateur club business. This
club is to be true athletic organiza-
tion and you must not let the social
bee buzz too strongly in your bonnets
If you do the club will be failure"
A pleasant vaudeville programme
followed, including songs by Miss L.
Dittmar and Duncan Ferguson: spe-
cialties by Miss Vera Ransdall, Fred
Dittmar and Jim Duncan: musical Sc
lections by N. Rienecker and Miss Su-
zanne Brooks; reading by Miss Alma

The ten days within which the Nav
or must sign or veto the resolution
granting the San Francisco Athletic
Club the professional boxing permit
for March will expire to-day. AS al
ready told in The Call, the Mayor has
intimated he viii veto the resolution
on the ground that theYosemite Club-
which would be entitled to the March
contest has been unfairly dealt with
by the Democratic Supervisors, who
took the opportunity to vent their
wrath on James W. Coffroth. manager
Of the club. It Will take fourteen Su-

Dark Outlook for Missouri Racing.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. March 8.
The House bill providing for the re-
peal of the breeders law was passed
in the Senate to-day by vote Of 1S
to IS. The breeders law was enact
ed in 1897 and provided that betting
on horseracing should take place only
within the confines Of the racetracks.
The repeal OF this bill eliminates all
prohibition on racing sbetting in Mis-
souri,.
The passage of the measure marks
a distinct step in the effort being made
to eliminate race betting in Missouri,
as it was necessary to repeal the
breeders law to pave the way for the
House bill prohibiting bookmaking
and gambling on races in Missouri,
which measure will probably be taken
up to- morrow.

STEWARDS MAY CHANGE DATES.
Western Jockey Club Officials Have
Some Problems to Solve.

CHICAGO. March st was an
nounced to-day that the Western
Jockey Club stewards will hold an
important meeting to reconsider
racing dates. 1t is said this reconsid-
Grafton involves only Little Rock,
Oaklawn, New Orleans and possibly
Memphis tracks
The meeting will probably be held
on Monday. The real problem for
consideration is the situation at New
Orleans, where the Crescent City track
has put on eight races a day in or
der to do things" to the City Park
track. Should dates for this track be
extended, as many think will be the
case, it will interfere with Memphis
track, which still claims to be loyal to
the Condon-Cella interests, which
means the Western Jockey Club. 1t
is thought there will be no opposition
to allotting the Little Rock dates to
the Hot Springs track.

lnsurrection Feared,

st. Petersburg, Nov. ga Despite
the apparent lull, the clouds are thick
ening and deluge of blood may yet
drown the empire of the Romanoffs.
Conditions everywhere are dreadful.
Life and property are unsafe. In the
cities everyone goes armed after dark
and nobody ventures into the streets
unless necessity compels him TO do so.
The unemployed go about in droves,
menacingly demanding aims. In the
factories laborers go armed, and in not
few instances proprietors have been
shot down for refusing to accede to the
demands of their men. 1t is contended
by the employing class that the intro
duction by revolution of the eight hour
work day, considering the unproduc-
tiveness of the Russian workman. is an
economic impossibility. Therefore.
as it is not possible further to increase
the tariff on accountof existing treaties,
the factories can not be opened to eight
hour labor.
Prophets of evil declare that starv-
ing laborers will plumber the cities
while famished peasants, melted by
agitators, will burn the manor houses
and kill the inmates, and then will
threaten, IL they do not invade and
ransack the towns.
The horrors at Kronstadt and Vladi-
vostok show that the army is unreli-
able. The government has instructed
General Linevitcb to give paying en-
pioyment to the ManchuIian soldiers,
including those released from Japanese
prisons, as their return to Russia would
be dangerous.
military instruction is feared at
Hardin because an enormous percent
age of the garrison is composed of
Poles.
Count Wits position is regarded as in
secure since the bureaucracy still holds
the Russian court in its clucthes. The
powerful Ignatieff clique continually
makes use of the argument that since
Witte has come into power the revolu-
ton has been steadily triumphing.
Meanwhile Military Governor Ikalon is
exercising the utmost severity in exil-
ing or imprisoning prominent Poles.
Many of them are fleeing to the inter-
ior of Russia, where their wealth, in
fiuence and culture give new life to the
revolutionary movement,

with loaded carbines and drawn
swords, and rushed into the Kings
suite OF rooms. There Alfonso met
them, almost In Mysteries from his
laughter. The soldiers retired, unap.
preciatlve OF the joke.
Alfonso's reckless speeding through
the streets of Madrid In his automobile
has repeatedly been commented upon
In the Madrid papers, and II has been
said that the attempt of the late Maura
government to compel the King TO stop
his breakneck speeding was the real
reason why the cabinet fell. Premier
Maura, at an audience with the King.
pointed out the danger OF using the
streets of Madrid as a race course, and
the fact that the municipal laws were
broken by his Majesty Alfonso was
greatly angered over the remarks OF
the premier, and at once demanded the
governments resignation for imperti-
hence. The designations were handed
in and new government was formed.
A more serious phase of this young
Kings Independence of thought and
action Is concerned with the mother
who has devoted her life to his educa-
ton and rearing. Her care has made
him healthy, sturdy youth. although
he promised to inherit all the physical
weaknesses of his sickly father. He is
capable of great physical endurance
and can stand up under fatigue that
would exhaust men of apparently
greater strength. Although he has al
most reached his majority he follows
still the daily routine laid out by his
mother when In 1891 his royal curls
were cut and he set out to prepare
himself for his high place
Notwithstanding the devotion of his
mother, the King is said to be lacking
In respect for her, and many stories
benring on this attitude are told.
These, however are circulated by his
political opponents and denied by his
supporters.
