According to all reports. Jimmy
Wilde the British fyweight champion,
must be a remarkably clever boy A.
J. Daniels. sporting editor of the Lon

considers Wilde one of the boxing mar
wells of the century. The boy weighs
only about 100 pounds. but despite this
he has been meeting boxers weighing
anywhere from lis to 125 pounds in
nearly all his matches and some of
them nigh-class boys. II is seldom
that he has not given away from ten TO
fourteen pounds. If some of the box
ers in this country were asked to give
away so much weight they would die
of heart failure. Eugene Corri. the
well known referee on the other side
of the water. has been thinking seri-
ously of making a trip to New York
and bringing Wilde with him. but
nothing definite has been decided on
II as yet. Wilde won the fiyweight
championship of England some time
ago and also the Lonsdale belt. Re
Gently he defeated Joe Symonds and
also Ted Keller. He has victory over

The members of the Country Club
held a meeting at the pumping sta
ton club house last Tuesday evening.
1t was the flrsf meeting OF the sea-
son since the completion of the COM
mittee's report regarding membership
dues and fees, One of the changes
regarding dues makes the payment
from outside members only ten dol
lars a year, whereas local parties are
required to pay twenty-five dollars,
due to the fact that they are close at
hand and may take advantage of the
club arrangements more frequently.
Another change pertains to the mat
ter of guests. Hitherto a member
was privileged to take as a guest any
personal acquaintance living in the
city or elsewhere a stated number of
times during the season. Hereafter
local resident non-members will be
permitted to be present as guests of
members only twice during the sea
son and then upon semi-pnbhc occa-
|sions, such as the opening night, as
was the case last Tuesday evening.
THE other date will be ~snDounced
later. This arrangement prevents
local residents from accepting the
privileges of the club without pay
ment of dues. At Tuesday nights
meeting, Manager Barr served a most
sumptuous repast, which was the sub
iject of much favorable comment.
