years the champion woman speed

Rankin hadn't been on skates for
more than a month last winter

AMATEUR BOXING IS HAVING
IT'S INNING in SPOKANE

With over forty boxers enrolled
at the S. A. A. c. and 16 men who
are classy enough to enter inter
club meets, the local club has more
available fighters than ever before
in the history of the organization.
A year ago the S. A. A. c. did
Lot have enough boxers to make an
inter-club team. Jack Kaye, a 1876
FOUNDER, was imported from the
Imperial club to fight Dranga of
Portland, winning, by the way,
with only six weeks experience
with the gloves to aid him in
fight against the clever Portlander.
A year ago the advent of a boxer
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-01-31

was a gala occasion at the club, to
be hailed with much delight by
boxing instructor, physical director
and members. Now the addition
of a boxer to the squad passes al
most unnoticed unless he shows up
Immediately as inter-club material.
Amateur boxing is having it's
inning in Spokane now. The ban
on the prof game has mad much to
ism hope that the same conditions
will prevail under other admins
trations.
But they are hardly in the ma
iority.

are covered with a narrow binding

ru?es overlap about a half inch.
The lower edge Of the shield can
