ATHLETIC CLUB is
ELECTED TO A. A. U.

The Pendleton Amateur Athleuc
club is now a member of the Pacific
Northwest Association of the A. A. L.
having been elected to membership
at a recent meeting held in Seattle.
The other members of the p. n. A.
of the a. a. U. are the Multnomah,
Seattle, Spokane, James Bay and
Vancouver athletic clubs and thus
Pendleton takes ranking in the ath-
letic world along with the larger cit
les of the northwest.
The recognition thus given this
city is almost entirely due to the ef-
forts of Dudley Evans, who is taking
the lead in arranging the boxing and
wrestling tournament to be held in
the oregon theater on the last two
evenings of Roundup time
Mr.. Evans yesterday received a let
ter from the Spokane club stating
that a heavyweight wrestler will in
all probability be sent here for the
meet for a match with Aubrey
Graham, the local big fellow, and the
news will be welcome to Graham's
many supporters.
The local boxing and wrestling
classes will begin tonight on the fin
ishing up work for the meet. Dudley
Evans and Fred Sax will work out
with the classes and full list is re-
quested to appear. Fred Sax is for
mer amateur of Tom Tracey's class
of Portland, q clever boxer and many
times finner in the tournaments. His
addition to the boxing staff is valu-
able. He is working on the asylum
glazing work and readily accepted the
clubs invitation to telp out for the
zig meet.
Evans is too well known to need
; introduction. He has been affiliated
with the boxing classes and clubs of
! the northwest and California for the
/ past twenty years. He was pupil OF
| the late Jack Dempsey and winner OF
| the diamond medal and weltership
/ championship at the Portland Pastime
| Athletic club in 1892. Since that time
! he has boxed in over fifty contests
/ and while not competing in profes-
sional bouts any more is an ardent
! lover of boxing.
Charles Jost, well known in this
! city, is a former pupii of Evans and
| is ranked as the peer of the Oregon
boxers, having had so many contests
I in both amateur and professional
ranks that he has lost the count-He
will be present the last few days and
will handle the club boys during the
contests.
