The Glympic ( give a boxing tournamen: in Fébruary, extending over two nights. The mere announcement of such an affair should in a flood of inquiries as to matches. Instead of this there were no volunteers and solicitation in the usual quarters did not bring any better results. The club officials found that medals and similar trophles were not | to the liking of the so-cailed amateurs. They wanted the good yellow gold for | which their professional brothers fight. By implication this means that the promoters of all the otner clubs giving amateur shows are not so strict in their dealing with the boxers as are the Olympic officials. George James, replying io Mr. El- liott’s letter, said his associates would punish any amateur who was convicted of asking or of receiving a money prize. In discuyssing this question Mr. James said: “The registration committee has heard from-time to time that the ama- teur boxers receive money in addition to some suitably inscribed trophy. We have been able in but.few cases to se- cure any evidence against them. The club managers refuse to testify and the other boxers will not incriminate their friends. If the Olympic Club or any other club will furnish sufficrent evi- dence we will make an example of some of the boxers.” Mr. Eiliott of the Olympic Club has been a stalwart defender of amateur- ism for twenty-five years or more. ! President Willlam Greer Harrison and the other directors are also strong ad- herents of pure sport. It is their known attitude in this regard that deters would-be violators of the rules from appearing at the Olympie Club. Boxing is a sport which do=s not lend itself readily to amateurism and there will be eternal strife between the of- ficials and participants.
