C1AN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-The
Olympic Athletic club Of San
Francisco. which Is the alma
mater of such world famous boxers
as Jim Corbett and Jimmy Britt, Is
now somewhat excited over the fact
that II has produced another nng
man who, club members assert, is
likely to make as big a splurge In
the professional pool as his illustri-
Gus predecessors.
Bob McAllister is the youths name
self to the extent OF winning the Pa
ciflc coast championships In the mid
die and light heavyweight divisions.
He is fairly tall, with sioping
shoulders. and has not yet turned
the 20-year mark Some of the club
men think he bears considerab bic re-
semblance TO the Jim Corbett Of
twenty years ago. but to the writer
he brings thoughts OF Joe Choynski
when the latter was a cub heavy
weight.
McAllister's last engagement was
with Tad Darbyshire, amateur heavy
weight champion of the northwest,
who was brought here from Port
land, Or. by Tom Tracey to compete
In tourney at the Olympic club.
The things McAllister did to Darby
shire were outrageous. The north
erner. although he had accounted for
everything Of heavyweight dimensions
in his own baIliwick. was as putty
In the hands OF the Olympic crack.
The affair was so woefully one
sided that Tracey scrambled up the
platform stairs after few rounds
and acknowledged defeat for his
man.
Nov McAllister has the profess
sional bee buzzing in his bon
net. The fellows who want to
make a journeyman fighter OF him
have pointed out that there are no
new worlds to conquer in the anna
teur line. They have impressed upon
him that various experts have pro-

He pitched several games at the
tail end of the past season and ac-
quilted himself as one OF the great-

OF the disappointing Jim Vaughn.
Schulz Is about as big as Vaughn,

better control

CORBETT acknowledged that there
was good reason for the Olympic
club being hopeful in regard to
McAllister's future and said he
doubted whether any OF the present
crop OF niddleweights could defeat
the amateur champion.
Bob's method OF keeping himself
we'll balanced In action. his fine, free
use OF both hands. his quickness In
sending home blow when his op-
ponent misses. and his particularly
effective style of warming his mans
Ribs when fighting close, all appealed
to the veteran, who, even with the
defects spoken Of. pronounced Nc
Allister the most likely candidate he
had looked at in years.
The question Of turning profession
al is still agitating McAlllster. but
quite a number have advised him
that the time Is not yet.
Said one clubman OF many years
standing: Granted that he is box
ing marvel, how do we know that
he can stand rough treatment as
WCll as administer IL : IN lHe use Oh
the zloves-so far as the amateur
end OF it is concerned-he is In a
class by himself. but for all we know
he may be cursed With glass jaw.
Personally. I'd like to see Bob thor
oughly tried out from an endurance
standpoint before I subscribed to
the argument that he ought to turn
professional"
In q way, the Olympic club Is as
house divided against itself over
the McAllister matter, many of the
members urging him TO take the
plunge. while others are warning him
10 so slow.
On this particular point Jim Cor
bett has been noncommittal so far
oontenting himself with remarking
sagely:
''If you make your mark as a pro-
fessional you're all right. but il you
don't you're all wrong"
Meanwhile Bob McAllister is tug
cling at the leash and the club direc-
tors are thinking up schemes TO re-
strain his impetuosity.
One way Is TO bring on MI The
champion amateur heavyweights of
the east so as to determine. first of
all. whether McAllister is beyond
argument the best gentleman boxer"
In the country.

nouncod him better man than any
Of the middles or light heavies boxing

him that he is neglecting his own
interests by hesitating about embark
Ing In a business which promises such
good rewards.
While poor Bob was In the throes
Of indecision Jim Corbett came to
town. The Olyrnpians promptly ar

the idea was to have Corbett pass
upon McAlIister's merits.
The test took place and Corbett
was genuinely enthusiastic over
McAllister's work. AT the same time
Jim checked the ardor of the Olym-
plans to some extent by pointing out
weak points In their latest idol. He
said that McAllIster keeps his head
too erect while leading to his adver-
sary.
IF he becomes O professional and
falls to correct this habit II Will get
him into trouble said Jim. ''No
matter how he may be able to beat
an opponent to tho punch. there are
any number OF llard-faced fellows
who would catch onto the way he
kept his head aloft, Then they would
be willing to take his lead and send
over a counter that would spell dis
aster."
Corbett also flnds fault with Mo-
Allister for not feinting enough. but
admitted that any defects In Bob's
methods might be traced to the fact
that ne had so outclassed all his op-
ponents so far that there had been
no occasion for him to school himself
in many of the tricks of the trade.
In other words. that Bob had had to
depend merely on actual, crude fight
Ing thus far in his career, and that
this had brought him the best ro-
suits.

You Win Make No Mistake 1T You
 Follow This Advice. Never neglect your kidneys.
 If you have pain in the back, urinary disorders, dizziness and nervousness, it's time to act and no time to experiment. These are frequently symptoms of kidney trouble. and a remedy which is recommended for the kidneys should be taken in time.
 Doans Kidney Pills are a good remedy to use. It has acted effect ively in many cases h this vicinity.
 Can Alaskan residents demand further proof than the following tes- timonial?
 B. G. Beaumont, 635 G 5t,, Eureka, Cal, says: For long time 1 had a bad case of kidney and bladder trouble. The kidney secret ions were too frequent in passage and I suffered a great deal from backache that was especially severe at night. I applied plasters to my hack and used other remedies. but without receiving any noticeable benefit. Happening to see an ar ticle iq the papers about Doans Kidney Pirs, procured the rem edy. I began using 1t and in a short time my kidneys were restor- ed to a normal condition. I have used five boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and can say that am cured. AS I did not take any other remedy at the same time, I give the full credit for my cure to Doan's Kidney Pills"

Cleveland Plain Dealer. When his

that he wanted to sue man for heavy

Of the car, however, and he said he
could produce witnesses. 1t was a good
