himself. More than that he with plausible

a series of duaI meets which would event.
ually win the attention of the public. Not
long ago a new club was organized, called
the Alliance Athletic club. and II went off
with a good boom at the start anu drew a
fine membership, but ii was soon overrun
with a squad OF semi-professional boxers
and foot ball players. IT was rapidly going
down hill when w. II. Kerrigan became
chairman Of the advisory committee and
gave the back door to the professional ele-
ment. Just now the club Is in a fair way
to cut some figure in athletics. There is
an Irish A. A. c. in Frisco, but its aim IL
the propagation of Gaelic hurting and foot
ball and other Celtic sports.
At the present time the olympic club
occupies temporary quarters on the site
of the club house which was destroyed by
the quake In 1906. Additional and has
been purchased and it is the intention OF
the members that there shall be a bigger
and better building than the old one inside
of a couple Of years. On the clubs roster
today are some first rate athletes, Ralph
Pose and Alfred Plaw being the two fore
most. Then there is To- Martin, a top
notcher at the running high jump. In the
national championships at Seattle he
gained second to Erickson and in the in
vitation meet at Frisco he won, clearing
six feet one-half inch. Another good one
is ]. D. Miller, a middle distance runner,
who any day can do the half mile in 1857.
He wal a good third and won the half al
