ATHLETIC CLUB PROPOSED HERE
Hot Springs Athletes May Organize Athletic
Club

"Vs 9PiM4S AtnieleS may organize Atnletlc
Club
1t has sen rumored about town the
past week, that the athletes of Hot
Springs would organize an Amateur
Athletic Club.
No meeting has been held so far, but
they figure that next month would be
time enough to have club to DO their
winter exercise indoors.
The club would be run on similar
principals to the Sportsman Club of
Chicago, no one connected with the
club who may be employed, to receive
any salary Whatsoever. The expense
to members, would probably amount to
hfty cents each month for necessary
expenses, such as rent and light.
Also the business men of Hot
Springs would not be asked to con-
tribute anything. The athletes who
start to organize would hold meeting,
elect president, vice-president, score.
tary and treasurer and one athlete to
act as manager.
The club could be open from 8 q. m.
until 10 p. m. daily. No gambling or
the use of stimulsnt would be allowed,
II club was organized and q COM
petent board elected, it would mean q
great deal to the business men of Hot
Syringe as we'll as to ninty percent Of
the young men, who in the winter
months are unable to exercise in the
way they ell should.
Every few weeks an exhibition could
be held, such as wrestling, boxing, feno.
ing, bsg-punching and other indoor
sports. 1t would be free to the people
Of Hot Springs and would be purely
amateur.
Then in the spring ball team could
be organized that would be coached
and placed in good enough condition
Co have match games every week, then
:oot ball team could be built up to
give any team the tussle of their lives.
