With every man within striking
distance of the required weight and
each member Of the crew in splen-
did condition, the S. A. A. C. quar-
tet of boxers and wrestlers leave
tonight for Seattle, where they
hook up with the Seattle Athletic
clubs stars tomorrow night in the
second interclub affair of the sea-
son between the rival organizations.
When Seattle invaded Spokane
earlier in the season, the local lads
annexed three of the four bouts,
and indications point to a duplica-
ton of this feat at Seattle. The
Seattleites say otherwise, naturally,
and expect to give the S. A. A. c.
athletes the first taste of defeat

this season, sending them home
with a larger number on the losing
than on the winning side of the
column.
The quartet who will represent
the invaders are: Tommy Kelly,
1875 pound boxer; Red Hughes, los
pound boxer; George Brechin, 1876
pound wrestler; Glahe, lis pound
wrestler.
Physical Director Cisco Bullivant
and Boxing Instructor Fred Creel
will accompany the team, while a
number of other clubmen will be on
hand at the tap of the gong. A
good sized sack of coin will accom-

ties some idea of what the local
fight and graphing fans think of
the chances of the S. A. A. C. boys.

JEFF LOOKS 100 PER CENT :.
BETTER TO SAN FRANCISCANS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Pub-
lie opinion here today seems to
have it that James J. Jeffries is in
100 per cent better condition than
he was when he appeared at local
theater a year ago. when he began
his tour. A good sized crowd
watched the big boilermalier at
Jack Gleason's show at Recreation
park yesterday. Jeffries hoped the
rope as nimbly as of old and the
way he danced around for the 10
minutes of fast shadow boxing
filled his admirers with glee.
The big fellow boxed three
rounds with Sam Berger. He
