with another to the effect that he will
never fight until he gets decent offer
from the club that wants his services,
saying that unless he can get engage
ments that will pay him well for going
back into training and taking risk of
losing his title he will retire and aban-
don the championship.

preferred the English lightweight

45 round contest. However, he put
Mcfarland second on the list and will
bet on the side with him if the Chi

OIL YMPIANS RETURN
HOME FROM THE
YOSEMITE
Brave Party That Was Stalled
Last Week Makes Good on
Second Attempt

That courageous band of Olympic
clubmen which gamely started out for
the Yosemite valley last Sunday morn
ing after having been stalled by
landslide the previous week returned
from its pilgrimage yesterday morn
ing. each tagged and tired from the
strenuous exertions of the trip, but
each bubbIing over with vim and life
and ready to take another chance when
opportunity offers. The party COM
prised about 100. and every man OF
them was glad that he went.
The boys led by DIR. Leo McMahan,
started out a week ago last Friday.
but when within lew miles OF FL
Portal the train was delayed by
landslide few of the more reckless
members of the party walked into the
valley but the others decided that the
road back to San Francisco looked bet
ter to them When they arrived they
were joshed and furnished lots Of food
for fun on the line and but few took
them seriously when they announced
that they would start again within a
week.
PARTY WELL PREPARED
There was reither Iandslides nor
scarcity of food this time. Everybody
went well prepared to battle against
hunger. thirst and famine in case OF
i'll railway luck. But these precautions
were Unnecessary Everything went
like clockwork. The train was on
time. the food supply was more than
abundant and the pilgrims were all
game and hopeful Things could not
have broken better under any circum-
stances.
The ciubmen voted it the greatest
outing ever given bv the winged o.
There was nothing lacking TO make it
the grand success that they were all
pulling for They reached the valley
on time and found everything in readi-
ness for them. 1t did not make anv
difference IL the ground was snow COW
cred and the thermometer was away
down to the limit.
The athletes saw everything that was
to be seen. They walked, climbed the
mountains. put on the snow shoes,
played ice hockey and fell for every
game which the natives proposed. The
experience was novel TO most OF them
and very trying to the ma jOrity. but
each man went through with his part
Well, so everybody was even when
getaway time Was at hand.
DIPSEAS' LONG TRAMP
The Dipsea Indians. that famous
tramping branch of the club. led by the
ever ready Tim Fitzpatrick. left the
others in the train near Ell Portal and
tramped right into the valley. 1t was
an awful walk. but the boys got away
with it, Some Of them are still suffer-
ing from aching feet and other trivial
complaints, but .ney made good and are
satisfied
The party was the center Of attrac-
tion at the club last night. and il bids
fair to arouse the envy of every other
winged 20" Wearer who failed to make
the trip. 1t is likely that a similar
excursion to some other famous point
of interest will be planned shortly. and
1t is safe to say that there will be
twice as many applications next time.
