mation. Mr. McLeod announced yesterday that the club already has 215 members and that the membership will be limited of business men and young men of the| sity who wanted & small gymnasium of ;company of Denver Sunday js a pos: some sort in which to exercise after! sipilit: working hours, that McLeod undertook | io organize this athletic club and fit up a suitable gymnasium. Through the athletic club “McLeod hopes to make all fighters and wrestlers show that they are what they claim to be before they are allowed to appear in public exhibitions. i Mcleod expects to have try-out nights two or three times a month when any member of the club may try- out 4nd show his ability as a wrestler or boxer before @ committee of impar- tial judges. The best men from these trials will be matched to appear in an athletic program in a new $3,500 thea- tre being built near the present head- quarters of the athletic club. This will seat about 2,500 people, it is estimated. McLeod, who has made winners in the boxing and wrestling game most of his life, claims that there is just as good material among the younger stock in Wyoming as in any town or state in which he has been. All the material needs is development. He says that lly every state in th union has d a champion but Wyoming and he blames the lack of any real athletic club or training quarters until recent- ly for this situation, | I had to work in a wood shed when ne here to wrestle a few years McLeod said. “This club will gi hletes a chance to get into trim and will also allow business men to havé some exercise. I intend to have the men who work in the try-outs give their best or they will not remain in the ring. When men have been select- ed for & main program of athletic events, I will have a physician at the ringside who will examine each man before he enters the ring. The ex- hibition athletes will never appear un-, der this arrangement.” quarters of the new athletic club are rapidly presenting the appearance of an athletié club and gymnasium. A 10-foot ring has been built in one‘room while one punching bag; has. been | in’ position ati‘ another will be’ ed soon. Dumb bells, India clubs, boxing gloves, four-sets exercis- pulleys, and exercising tables will) form the main portion of the equip- ment, part of this already belug ready | for use. | A shower bathroom and rub down! room will be installed also. The club is to be open exclusively to members from 1 until 10 o'clock in-the evening. A lounging room is also to be pro- vided for the comfort of club members. With athletic clubs starting at River- ton and Thermopolis, Wyo., it ts be- lieved that some competition probably will be started between the athletic clubs of the state. Mr. McLeod has had four years of experience in handl- ing the largest athletic club west of Chic —the Western Athletic club of | neisco. us started and “found” such and wrestlers as Willie Ritchie, veight fight champ; Eddie Campi, bantamweight luininary; Fritz Holland, who defeated Les Darcy in Australia; »y Moore, featherweight of this coun- nd Canada, and Willie Meehan, it coast heavyweight champ, now % touted as the most most formid- able opponent of Demp: GRID GAMES T BE SCHEDULED Armistice Day to See Big Game with Turkty Day Battle Also in Prospect. | | Altho there is no game scheduled fo} today by the Army and Navy club; #r+ rangements are beings made to play Denver University, the Colorado State Normal, the Colorado Untyersity fresh- men, the Nebraska Normal team o!
