(By @, BOB JAMEs.)

OF interest OF sport loving people is
the announcement of the City Athletic

PRiafox street are being equipped

GLIDING punching bags, wrestling and
sandbags and pulling weights. as well
os other equipment, designed to meet

The club is indeed fortunate in be-
ing able to include in its membership
Jack Donnelly. former light heavy
weight champion OF the American
navy in France. Mr.. Donnelly. it Is
understood, will be glad to impart his
wide knowledge gained from several
years experience as a professional
boxer to members of the club desiring
to acquire the manly art of give and
take
John T. Powers. nationally known
as an expert in matters pertaining
to the squared circle, says of Mr..
Donneily:
I'm his latest bout, Jack Donnelly
defeated Billy McCloskey, the cham
pion heavyweight of France, in clean
cut fashion, defeating the old-timer at
every stage of the battle. Donnelly has
fought all corners SO far and has yet
to lose a decision"
Other sporting writer's of Provi-
denee, South Providence and Brooks
lynn have endorsed Donelly as clean.
well educated, right living, conscien-
tious and entirely worthy young man.
1t is recognized that Donnelly's con-
nection with the local club adds color
and personality to the efforts of the
club which otherwise would be sadly
missed. Mr.. Donneliy also has letters
of recommendation and commentator
from Harold Dillon, athletic director
France, and from Lieutenant G. s.
Goldie, u. s. N. r. F., with headquar-
ters at Newport, r. I.
And Mr.. Donneiiy is not alone in the
list OF high class athletes among the
membership of the local club. Others
worthy of mention are Jack Burns,
former featherweight champion of the
u. s, navy, "Cootie" Wrine, Joe Law
renee (managerl George Ruby and
Joe Danske. These men will be glad
to work with any party and to in
struct in any phase of athletic devel-
opment desired.
So much has been heard and said
OF the Tired Business Man" that it
does not seem amiss to remark that
the club does not confine its members
to the young and ambitious" youth
of the city, but to the settled, more
stable and well guided business men.
A man with business in the city could
find the time after the close of his
office to work out" In this manner
many of our successful business men
would walk with a more sprightly
stride, and less puffed eyelids would
appear at the end of busy day. To be
en- observer OF physical things, an
overwhelming majority Of local per-
sonages, the man OF business or the
man of leisure, appear down in the
with sloping shoulders, sunken chests
nnd dragging step. The best remedy
in the world, not excepting doctors
of every description and medicines of
all kinds under the sun for a condi-
ton OF run down physical conditions
is exercise, hard work and right liv-
Ing. If each man of affairs, and ev-
cry other clean liver would spare HIM
self an hour of his time day and al
low himself to be put through the
PAGES" within a comparatively short
time there would be a noticeable de-
crease in physical imperfections,
which at present are so giaringiy ap-
parent.
This isn't a temperance lecture. nor
is It a slam at the business Of the To-
cal bootleggers, who really aren't
worth being slammed, but II Is simply
boost for worthy undertaking and
appeal to the business men, as well as
to every other man who believes In
HEALTH FIRST, to give their moral
and personal support to the organiza-
ton. which, In the words of Abe Lin
coin. is distinctly "of the People, for
the People, by the People"
The club management promises
some interesting entertainments in
future for the members of the club
exhibitions of boxing being the fea-
ture of the entertainments. Further
activities of the club will be announc-
ed through the press of the city as
made for these affairs.
Mr.. ct. B. NJ" It's your chance to
shake off the shackles of i'll temper
and renew the vigor that was yours
when YOU first started in business
an smiles and ambition, with never
a thought of unpleasantness and al
ways enjoying the smiles OF your fell
low man.
The schedule for Friday August rs.
will consist of eight exhibitions and
