BARBARIAN ATHLETIC CLUB
GUSTS ALL OF ITS OFFICERS

Pomeroy. who was elected secretary Of
the club. The board of directors was
in favor of the association game and.
from what can be learned from mem
bers of the club. the Rugby element
was disgruntled because so many SOC
Ger men were in office. The storm cen
tered around Secretary Pomeroy. who
has been active in the athletic affairs OF
the OLYMPIC and Reliance clubs, be
sides devoting a considerable portion
OF his time TO his duties as secretary
~ the Barbarian club. POmeroy was
accused of being TOO active in the
afrairs of the other clubs. and was also
charged with living in Oakland. The
other officers sided with POmerOy. so it
was resolved TO make a clean sweep

The San Francisco call., 1909-10-09

The trouble that has been brewing
in the ranks of the Barbarian athletic
club came to a climax Thursday even
ing, when the officers and directors
were forced out through the passing of
vote of lack of confidence.
The officers of the club who have
been forced TO resign are: H. r. Elliot.

dent: Edgar Pomeroy. seeretarys w.

tors
Although it was generally known in
athletic circles that all was not ,har-
mony in the club. nothing so drastic as
this action of the members was eX-
pected. The. meeting was held at the
clubs headquarters, 1882 Fulton street.
The motion expressing a lack of con-
fdence in the officers was made and
carried with only few dissenting
votes. The officers then handed in their
designations and a Secretary pro tenn.
was appointed. A new set of officers
Will be elected at the next meeting OF
the club. which will be held October 19
The split in the ranks of the club is
very evidently the result of the ANAL
gamation of the Hornets soccer team
with the Barbarians, there has been
conS1dera bic friction between the deVO-
tees of Rugby and soccer since the
clubs merged. The Barbarians organ
lied as Rugby organiZa tion only, but
later entered into other fields, and took
up lacrosse cricket and association
football 1t was at the request of the
Barbarians that Manager POmeroy OF
the Hornets consented to allow his
team to play in the colorS of the Bar
barians. and it was against the wishes
of a number of the veteran members
of the club that the amalgamtiOn was
made.
1t seems that the influx of soccer
players proved dista steful TO the Rugby
people, and the club was divided into
two factions. Harry Elliot. president

RIGID LAWS TO GOVERN AERONAUTS.
A. Leo Stevens, Instructor of U. S.
Army Balloon Corps, Advocates
Government License and
Examinations,

Every day am firmly convinced that
there should be government regulation
on ballooning. have held this theory
for some time, but the experience of a
certain California aeronaut few DAYS
ago in the Sierra Madre mountains has
brought the need home to me more
strongly than ever. The government
regulations should consist of licenses
for balloon pilots, and laws within
which the pilots should have to confine
themselves.
While do not wish to reflect on this
aeronaut, do wish to point out that
he is only a case in point. Some peo-
pie can never become successful balloon
men any more than all men can become
successes as artists or deep sea divers.
It's part of a mans makeup. There
are some men who can make 90 ascen-
sions and still be no better equipped as
pilots than if they were going up for
the second time. A person who is not
skilled in aeronautics, knowing that
a great many reckless people to have
the experience of seeing the earth slip
out from under them. Here is where
the trouble comes. / will not say that
it is not right for a man to go up in a
balloon by himself. think that is
