UmpireS Are Appointed For
Next Season

Judge Graham, the new president of
the Pacific Coast league. appointed
three umpires yesterday who are to
call balls and strikes next sea ason.
The men who will work are Umpires
Finney. Van Haltren and George
Hildebrand.
The first two men are seasoned indi-
Gator men, having worked last season
in the Coast league. Both Finney and
Van Haltren came in at the end of the
season. Hildebrand is a well known
ball player. having played in the out
field for San Francisco for several sea-
sons as well as having a whack at the
big leag que. He is practically new in
the umpiring department, but he
worked a few times last year and
seemed to do well.
Umpires Mccarthy, Toinan and Nc
Greevy. who were the regular umpires
last year, have not been named, though
ii is probable that another umpire may
be appointed McGreevy, who gave
general satisfaction. had some trouble
with the officials of the league at the
end OF the season in regard to being
supplied with transportation to his
home in the east. This little difficulty
was probably responsible for his not
being reappointed.

trick in faster time than any OF the
others believed he could turn il and

WILL CUT AMATEUR
BOXING FROM LIST
p. A. A. to Eliminate This Form
OF Sport From It's JuriSdic-
ton After January

The so called amateur boxing, which
has been a profitable venture to the pro-
moters and to many of the boxers who
were good enough to draw big houses.
will be crossed off the list of amateur
sports after the first of the year by
the Pacific amateur association, which
Is, the local governing body -of anna
teur sports.
The officials of the P. A. A. have
stood for some very lumpy amateurs,
but they think they foresee the limit
when the new city fathers take hold of
the reins. AS long as the Pacific anna
teur association had the support of the
city officials they were able to exert a
little power, but from all indications
the body which distinguishes amateurs
from professionals expects no more
consideration from the new city rulers
than copper piece, so they have de-
cided to eliminate boxing.
Amateur boxing in this city has been
somewhat of a joke as far as word i'm
plies. 1t is no secret that the boxers
who go under the name of amateurs
get their regular stipend and some of
them are well paid for their services.
Sam Berger in his palmy days as an
amateur received more than $1,000 for
performing.
One Round Hogan, who has been
about the best of the amateurs devel-
oped in the last two years, was given
good money for boxing a few rounds.
All the old timers have been given
the tip that the game is due to pick
up and they are getting in training TO
gather up some of the easy money.
Many of them are seasoned profess
sionals who are still good enough to
go a few rounds, but not able to stick
it out in long distance encounter.
So this is said TO be the reason why
the Pacific amateur association desires
to blot amateur boxing from its list of
sports
