There is some prospect of Spokane being represented
in the amateur athletic contests at the Portland fair
The proposition has been made to send Boomer Weeks
secretary of the fire department to Portland to contest in
the heavyweight amateur boxing tournament. &.
This be done if the athletic club will take steps to
start the movement. ii
Boomer strong young giant with steam and hitting
power superior to many of the professionals which theath
etc club committee should not overlook because of the
good chances for bringing the amateur championship back
to Spokane.
