will be considerable. In addition TO
this he has other matches in view, so
that the sum Of money required is

COMMODORE MEYER
RESIGNS FROM
YACHT CLUB

There are squally times around the
clubhouse of the Golden Gate Yacht
Club at Sausalito. The trouble has been
precipitated by the resignation OF Com
modore Charles Meyer and his REIN
statement in the San Francisco Yacht
Club.
About a year ago a number OF the
yacht owners of the San Francisco
Yacht Club withdrew and formed what
is now known as the Golden Gate Yacht
Club. The club started with a boom,
and the membership roll went UP to the
200 mark Funds accumulated rapidly
and a clubhouse was well under way
when the April fire visited this city.
The fire put an end to operations for
the time being, and 1t has been only
during the last two months that the
club has returned to normal conditions.
Just when things were getting along
nicely Commodore Meyer sent In his
resignation and went over to the club
which he and some of his friends had
left a year previous.
One of the members in speaking of
the resignation said: THE members of
the club feel hurt at the action of
Commodore Meyer. When we left the
San Francisco Yacht Club it was be-
cause we felt that we had not been
given proper recognition We were In
the majority when the active yacht
owners were considered. We got out
and showed the yachting world that
we could care for ourselves. We called
Charles Meyers to the commodoreship
and felt that we had a good officer and
a stanch supporter Of our cause. He
has made a good senior flag officer,
and when he sent in his resignation and
left us to return to the club from which
we had withdrawn 1t hurt some OF the
members, as we did not feel that 1t
was treating US just right"
Commodore Meyer when seen yester-
day said: II am surprised that any of
the members Of the Golden Gate Yacht
Club should feel that 1 have slighted
them in any way. / am resident of
Sausalito, and besides owning the yacht
Thelma 1 have my launch and small
boats. The change was a necessity.
I could not see any chance of the club
giving me the accommodations that I
needed and I was forced to ask for
in the San Francisco"

ATTELL TO FIGHT
SULLIVAN IN
THE SOUTH
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

Los ANGELES. Jan. 24-Tommy Sui
livan, the only man in the world who
ever put Abe Atten TO the mat for
the count. is to fight the champion be-
fore the Pacific Athletic Club at Maud
Junction. The date of the match has
not been decided upon.
Sullivan, who is the boxing instructor
OF the Missouri Athletic Club of ST.
Louis, several days ago issued a chal-
lenge TO Atten to fight for the cham
pionship. In fact, he disputes that At
tell is the champion and claims the
title himself by reason of having put
out Attell in five rounds at St Louis,
october 13. 1904.
Sullivan claims that because of his
victory in that fight he is the
champion featherweight of the world.
That there may be no dispute about ii,
however, he sent word to Manager Tom
McCarey that he viii come West and
do the trick over again just as soon
as Attell can be induced TO meet him
in the ring. Manager McCarey COM
municated with Attell and the cham
pion wired back to accept the chal-
lenge. The only stipulation is that both
men must make 122 pounds ringside
