OIympians Seeking
New Secretary
Directors Find Difficulty in Fill
ing Vacancy Caused by Resig-
nation of w. NJ. Sheldon

The directors of the Olympic club
are still seeking a successor to Willard
NJ Sheldon. whose resignation as sec
retary was reluctantly accepted at the
last meeting Sheldon found that his
private business took him out OF town
so much that it was difficult to attend
to the club business in the manner he
wished. He was a tower of strength
in the rehabilitation of the club and
serious financial condition into which
it was plunged after the fire.
All the club activities are centered
in the Post street building at the pres
ent time and increased interest is be-
ing shown in all departments. Many
of the members are availing them
selves of the oportunity to lunch and
dine at the club, while the big swim
ming tank retains all its old time pop
ularity. The effect of the Increased
activity in the Post street home will un-
doubtedly be to spur the directors and
members to greater efforts to secure a

fought such men as Joe Cans, the lightweight
and Jack johnson, the heavy weight, and bears
few scars as mementoes of his activities with
the gloves. He also fought Bob FitZsimmons
and lives to tell the tale. Grim is a middle
weight and wants a match here with any of the
men available in his class.

The proposed fight between Lew
Powell and Fred Landers before the
West Oakland Athletic club did not
take place last night as scheduled
Landers, through his manager,
Charles Lercari, objected to Referee
George Simpson on the ground that he
was incompetent and asked that any
man of recognized ability be substi-
tuted. Powell would not listen to any
argument and 1t was charged that he
was looking for an excuse to get out
of the match.
1t was finally proposed by Landers
that Eddie Smith and Joe Thomas act

AffeII and Nelson
Show Confidence
Each Fighter Figures Himself d
Sure Winner in Coming
Meeting

Abe Attell eontented himself with
doing road work yesterday morning
and then cutting out his work in the
gymnasium He said he felt he was
nearing the height Of his condition
and that he did not want to overdo
matters He weighed slightly over
IA pounds yesterday. and this is the
weight he expects to make when he
enters the ring with Nelson next Tues
day night at the Coliseum.
Attell thinks he learned enough of
Nelson's style while they were engag
ing in friendly bouts TO qualify him
to judge of the Danes lighting ability.
He expresses the belief that he can
so far outlook Nelson as to take all his
punishing ability away from him. If
Atten acts upon the advice given him
by Joe Cans he will carry the fight
20 Nelson, so that a lively scrap is in
prospect. Cans says Nelson cannot
hit effectively unless he is set" and
il viii be Attelrs plan TO upset Mel
sons balance and thus make him less
formidable than he appears under diff
ferent circumstances.
This sounds well in theory but others
have found difficulty in making II work
when in the ring with the Dane. The
latter made Britt step at a lively pace
in their recent fight in Los Angeles,
although Britt thought he knew all
about Nelson's style. 1t is evident that
Atten is not giving a thought to max
ing runaway fight, so that when the
fighters meet there should be a great
fight Of gloves through the air.
Nelson worked hard yesterday before a large
crowd at the baseball park BE is tireless in
the gymnasium and shows wonderful condition.
He is fitting himself to 20 the full Is rounds

weak spot in Atteu before the full distance is
covered.
"Pscky' Mcfarland boxed three rounds at his

said that he should not be prosecuted because

San Francisco and her merchants because he

Yet the tying mp of the United Railroads at

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Friday, Dec. IS, at 10 A. N.

The white pine blight which occa-
stoned alarm in Maine and other New
England states and which was given
much attention by Names forest COM
missioner, E. E. Ring, is the subject of
a chapter in the forthcoming forestry
report, and contains an article by Prof.
w. ]. Morse, of the University of
Maine, which was made public Friday.
MIR. Morse says:
"Recently, particularly during the
early part of the summer just past, we
have heard much discussion of the so
called blight of the white pine. In no
case has anyone studied the subject
carefully and thoroughly in the field,
or at least not enough SO that definite
cause could be assigned or any method
suggested to prevent the spread of the
trouble If q guess was haZarded as
to the cause it was varied and fungi.
various insects, gases from sulphite
mills, etc, are some of the causes put
forward.
"As is always the case in matters of
this kind this agitation was not en-
tirely without beneficial results. Peo-
pie have been led to observe the tree
more closely and take greater interest
in their welfare. Many of the COM
mon insect troubles and other diseases
of the pine and other conifers, dis
eases which are always with us and
which yearly do more or less damage,
have been recognized and brought into
prominence. However, the net results
have, it would seem, been detrimental
to the interests of Maine forestry at
large The time had come when GER
tain portions of the State were about
to take up the question of planting
white pine as is being done in the
neighboring states of New York, Mas
sachusetts and Vermont.
"1he white pine blight scare has
given the project a very serious blow
for the present. 1t has also resulted
in numerous cases in the cutting OF
many acres of actively growing young
pine, or in other words. in the destruc-
ton of a portion of the most valuable
of our natural resources. The owners
felt that if the trees were doomed tC
immediate destruction by disease that
they should at once convert them into
lumber.

be distinctly understood to be con-
fined to what has popularity been calico

weather conditions during the past two
winters Therefore the major part of
the present trouble with the Maine
pines should not be called "pine
blight" but winter injury to pine.
Doubtless we shall have similar
troubles in the future as we probably
have had in the past, although they
were less severe and have passed un-
noticed. However this is no reason
why one should hesitate in planting
young pines or why he should sacrifice
his growing trees. One might as well
stop planting apple trees and cut down
the orchards because a portion have
been winter killed"
