not go to waste.

ATHLETESABAND0N
PILGRIMAGE TO
THE EAST.

Al Coney has abandoned his project
OF taking a team Of crack athletes East
under the auspices of the Olympic Club.
Coney is disheartened at the action of
the Olympic Club directors in refusing
to allow the winged 20" men to com
pete.
Coney's project stirred up quite a
discussion IN the Olympic Club When
the directors learned OF It they imme-
diately took steps to prevent any of
their men from going East, and said
that under no circumstances should the
colors or the name OF the great ath-
letic institution be used in connection
with the project. The athletes were In
favor of the plan proposed by Coney.
Before the club directors threw cold
water on the scheme Glarner. Snedigar,
Plaw and other noted performers ex-
pressed Willingness to accompany the
team. When they learned the Olympic
Club would not sanction the event they
all said they would not enter They
could not afford to impair their stand
ing in the ranks by taking such q
chance.
Some OF the club members are in
favor CT Concy's plans, while others
are loyal to the directors.
II IS great pity that my plans have
TO be abandoned, said Copey yester-
day. L do not see why the Olympic
Club directors object when I go out
soliciting aid for this great event Be
fore the Fourth of July events took
place I volunteered to solicit trophies
and the directors were heartily IN favor
OF my suggestion. l did solicit prizes
and secured them.
'"rhe policy OF the club officials is not
consistent. They are angry when !
undertake one of the greatest projects
ever known in California amateur ath-
letics. I love the sport and 1 want TO
show the world that California and the
Olympic Club have the greatest ath-
letes in the country. 1t is a pity the
directors Of the club have thrown cold
water on my plan. am through with
big events. Hereafter 1 will devote my
time to the street urcnlns. They will
a appreciate my efforts"
1t is the plan of the Olympic Club
directors to hold a big field day in this
city on September 9. President Har-
rison favors it, and plans for the event
will take shape within the next week
or two. All the crack athletes of the
coast will be entered in the field day.

DANCER Of FLOOD
NOT YET OVER.
Waters of San Joaquin
Now Threatening the
Honker Lake Country
ISLAND IN DANGER
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


STOCKTON. July 1.-THE flood sit
uatton Is again becoming serious. and
1t is now feared that the Honker Lake
country and the old division of Rob-
erts Island will be inundated. During
last night the water level on the Jones
tract and on the Levi tract rose ten
inches. This afternoon 1t was still ris-
Ing. The water is still pouring in
through the Levi break in vast vol
umes. AS the Levi and Jones tracts
contain upward of 1900 acres it will
be seen that large amount Of water
came in during the night. The reclaim
alton owners are now making their
principal line of defense along the
Honker Lake levees. There is a call
for more men at the Levi break and
an effort will be made to close the
gap as quickly as possible. Brush is
being foated and thrown between the
rows of piles to hold to the mud which
the dredgers are placing there.
0. n. Woodwork of Holt said today:
1T now looks as If the Honker Lake
country and the upper division of Rob-
erts Island are doomed. L hope I'm
mistaken, but I'm afraid not. I don't
see how these old levees can hold. The
water is high"
