THE COMMERCIAL
 CLUB PROGRAMMES

At the regular meeting of the Commercial Club held in the Coun- cil Chambers last night, a com plete reorganization of the club was effected. First the constitution and bylaws were amended in such way as to centralize all the powers of the club in the Executive Board, com sisting of eight members, which will allow them to carry on the work of the club unhampered. Then the former Executive Committee pre- sented their individual resignations so as to leave clear field for the introduction of new blood into the management of the organization. In the election of the new Executive Board, the following well known businessmen were chosen: J. J. Daly, F. E. Ryus, J. C.cBarber, c. H. Cosgrove, H. C. Strong, J. R. Hickman, Fremont King and A. R. Larson. Under the amended con- stitutioin they elect the club officers from among their own number, and the club adjourned without further action.

Birthday of Jack Root.
 Best Bohemian Batt1er

Boxing has never been popular in Francis Joseph's empire and the men Of Austrian birth or descent who have achieved fame in the ring could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Of the Austrian kaiser,s variegated subjects, the Bohenians and the Poles make the best ffstIc fighters, There have been a number of boxers of Bohemian and Polish descent in the American ring, but only one native of the Dual Monarchy has ever attained prominence, and that was Jack Root.
 Root, 9. Bohemian. was born in Aus tria thirty-nine years ago today, May 526, 1876. He came to America at an early age and started his fighting ca reer in Chicago. He was five feet ten inches in height, and fought as a welterweight, midd1eweight and light claimants Of the worlds heavyw eight championship after Jeffries retired ten years ago.
 Roots first appearance in the Chi cago ring was in 1897. His first four contests he won by knockouts, but his opponents were far from being top-notchers. In 1898 he twice whipped Jack Moffat and defeated Australian Jim Ryan. both fairly good
 men. The next year he went to Dav- export and took on Billy Stift, a fa- nous Chicago fighter. from whom he won on a foul in the seventh. Later in the same year he met Stiff again in Chicago and defeated him in six rounds. He also twice defeated Frank Craig, the Harlem Coffee Cooler one of the best men Of his weight. Root then went to San Fran
