lpheum Theater, hold up his hand for
this club" stun that we've all heard so
often. Then the first boxing tourna-
ment Of the new Pacific Athletic club
will he OFF to a good start
This evenings card promises good
sport. As the matches are to be de-
termined by the luck OF the hat. it's
impossible to say how the men will
face each other until after the draw
ings. which are to be held at g: 80 this
Ievening. However, there's plenty Of
good material In all the classes, and
however the men are matched there
|shoud be some interesting punch trad
ing.
The bouts will be three-round af-
fairs. three minute rounds. with II
fourth round Of two minutes at the
order of the judges, II they are unable
to pick the winner. This is the general
rule In short bout amateur affairs. and
II Is expected to work well here.
The committee has gone carefully
over the records of the contestants. and
II isn't likely that any ringers have
slipped In. The boxers are all straight
amateurs, and all are out for glory
and sport. and not for the intrinsic
value of the medals.
| V. L. Stevenson. Lester Petrie and
while Mike Patton viii referee all the
bouts. The latter viii have his hands
full as II il no easy job to herd u lot
Of amateurs into the ring ON time and
then act as third man az well.
The hopefuls.
The featherweights entered In this
tournament are as evenly matched u
bunch of men AZ could be found. and
II Is hard to predict the outcome Of any
OF the bouts In this class. although Ed.
Muller and Martin Price seem to have
the shade. Unless the draw brings
these two men together tonight. both
stand an excellent chance Of figuring
In the finals ON Saturday night.
Among the lightweight entries Ralph
, rricr and Theo. Willer are well known
glove artists. 1rier ~ n whiriwihd

nut for either Trier or Willer to crack.
, Then there's Jim Coope, a husky SAIL

and who IL likely to spring surprise,
Bower. Swagert. Kaufman and Bett-
cher are all good men, and any one
OF them IL likely to bring home the
bacon.
!. In the welterweights, Eddie Mcclure
looks upon the gold medal as already
his. Eddie IL the Fighting lrishman'
