new ATHLETIC CLUB
Will PROMOTE BOXING
PROF" and AMATEUR

The latest in sportdom is the Gen.
trail Athletic Club, formed for the pur
pose of promoting boxing, wrestling,
and other indoor sports. Eddie TAFT,
the well-known local sporting man, is
behind the enterprise, which is
enough to say for its character, and
for insuring its success and popular
ity among the sporting fraternity.
The club will have an arena such
as has not been used in this city, and
made on the plan of the Colma, and
the world-famous Coffroth arenas, in
San Francisco,--that Is, so arranged
that the contests take place in the
open air. with the seats in rising
tiers on each of the four sides so
that these modern gladiators of the
padded nit shall do battle in an are
ma which is essentially not unlike
that of the old Romans.
The point of most interest in con-
nection with this enterprise is the
fact that Eddie may bring down from
the Coast, II the interest manifested
warrants 1t, some of the good scrap
pers there. This means great step
to the good-when the promoters be-
gin to import high-grade talent.
1t makes 1t just possible that Ho-
