SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Feb. H.-The
Olympic Athletic club or ian I'rnnclsco,
which was the alma ninter of such world
famous boxers as Jim Corbctt and Jimmy
Hrltt, Is now somewhat excited ovor the
fart that It has produced another ring
wan who Is likely to make as big a
splurge In tho professional pool as lili
Illustrious predecessors .
Bob McAllister Is tho youth's name, and
he has already distinguished himself to
the extent of winning the Pacific const
championships In the middle, and light
hcay weight divisions.
Ho Is fairly tall with sloping shoulders
nnd has not yet turned the 10-yoar murk.
Bomo uf the clubmen think he bears
considerable resemblance to the Jim
Corbctt of twenty years ago, but to
the writer he brings thoughts of Joe
thoynskl when tho lutter was a cub
heavyweight.
McAllister's last engngemont was with
Tad Darbyshlre, amateur heavyweight
champion of tho northwest, who was
brought hero from Porllund, Ore., by
Tom Tracoy to compete In a tourney at
the Olympic club.
Wlint lie linn Untie.
The things McAllister did to Durbyshjre
were outrageous. The northerner, al
though ho had accounted for everything
of heavyweight dimensions In his own
bailiwick, was as putty In tho hands of
the Olympic crack. Tho affair was so
fully ono-rided that Tracoy scrum-1
)lcd up tho platform stairs after a few
rounds and acknowledged defeat for his
man.
Now McAllister has the professional
bee buzzing In his bonnet. The follows
who want to make a Journeyman
fighter out bf him have pointed to him
that thero arc no now worlds to conquer
In tho amateur line. They havo lm
jiressed upon him thot various experts
Jiave pronounced him a better man than
any of tho middles or light heavies box
inn tor a living today nnd they havo
urged upon him that he Is negloctlng his
own Interests by hesitating about em
barking In a business which promises
euch good rewards..
Tested lllm Out.
"While poor Ilob was In tho throes of
Indecision Jim Corbett cumo to town.
Tho Olympians promptly arranged an ex
hibition spar between McAllister nnd one
Jos Herrlck and invited Corbctt to at
tend, Of course tho Idea was to havo
Corbett pass upon McAllister's merits.
Tho test took placo and Corbott was
genuinely enthuslastlo over McAllister's
work. At tho same time Jim checked
the ardor of tho Olympians to some ex
tent by pointing out weak points In their
latest Idol. He Instanced that McAllister
keeps his head too erect while leading t.
his adversary.
"If he becomes a professional and falls
to correct this habit it will get him Into
trouble," said Jim. "No matter ljow ho
may be able to beat an opponent to tho
punch there are any number of hard
faced fellows who would catch on to tho
way he kept his head ulott like flics on
parade. Then they ,wou!d bo willing to
tako his lead and send over a counter
that would spell disaster."
Doesn't Feint Unouah,
Corbett also finds fault with McAllister
for not feinting enough, but admitted
that any defects In Hob's method might
ho traced to tho fact that he had so out
classed all his opponents so far that there
had been no occasion for him to school
himself In many of the tricks of tho trade,
In other words that Bob had had to de
pend merely on outright fighting, thus
far In his career, and that this lial
brought him the best results.
Corbctt acknowledged that thero whs
good reason for tho Olympic club being
hopeful In regard to McAllister's futuro
and said ho doubted whether any of th-i
jircsent crop of mlddlowclghts could
feat tho amateur champion.
Bob's method of keeping himself wtll
balanced while In action; his flnu. free
use of both hands, hts quickness In send
incr homo a blow when his op,)o.int
missed and his particularly effecdvi
tyle of warming hts man's ribs worn
fighting close all appealed to the vet
nan, who, even with tho defects spoken
it, pronounced McAllister the most likely
sapling he had looked at In years.
Mast Wnll a Little.
The question of turning professional Is
sun agitating aicAiuster, but quite k
number have advised him that the tlim
is not yet.
Bald ono club man of very many year'
standing: "Granted that ho Is a boxing
marvel, how do wo know that he can
stand rough treatment as well as udml.'
lster ItT in the use of the glows, so far
as the amateur end of It Is concern!,
he Is In a class by hlmsolf, but for a'
we know he may bo cursed with n glas
Jw. Personally, I'd llko to see Dob
thoroughly tried out from an endurance
standpoint before- I subscribed to tho
argument that he ought to turn in i
fcsslonal."
In a way the Olympic olub Is as a ho'lie
divided against Itself over the MeAIIU
ter matter, many of the members urgliHS
Win to take the plunge, while others a.-s
warning him to go slow.
On this particular point Jim Curbs
has been non-committal, so far content
inr himself with remarking sagely:
"If you make your mark as a profea
sionai you re an right, hut If you don't
you're all wrong."
jueanwnne hod aiuAiiistcr is tugging ut
the leash and the club directors arc think
Ing up schemes to restrain his Impetuous
ity.
wne way is to bring out hero, the
champion amateur heavyweight of nil
the east, so as to determine, first of all,
whether McAllister is beyond argument
the best gentleman "boxer" In the coun
try.

NICW YUKK. Feb. 22. Frank Chamc s
thirteen battery. mn sailed this morning
aboard Hip steamship, Arcadian, for tter
innda. The superstitious need have no
fenr about the "hoodoo" number, for a
party of newspaper men, IncludlNg the
writer, went along to swell tho crowd
far beyond the spell of nny Jinx.
Aboard the tossing bom Ih the main
hope of the l'eerless Leader for better
things In tho local American league sit
uation. Chance hns alwnj'N believed that
a championship team must be built up
nround good pitchers nnd catchers. Ills
policy has always lscn to hold the score
of the opposing teams to a minimum.
Ono of the oldest maxims of base hall
i ays that It take runs to win bnll games.
Chance will hnve ten pitchers nnd three
cutchfrs under hla watchful eye on the
little llrltlsh Island. Save by records,
none of these Is Itiiuwu to him. He has
seen none of them In uniform except
Kd Hweeney, who practiced a bit-with
tho Cubs last spring when he was hold
ing out for more money from Wolvcrtoii.
"I did not seo much of Sweeney." said
Chance before he sailed a week ago,
"but what I did see Impressed me. Ho
Is a big, strong fellow, and from what
overyonc says he Is n finished catcher.
Of tho pitchers I know little, save what
has been tipped me since I signed with
Mr. Farrcll. Kussoll Ford told mo while
ho was visiting In California that tho
flinging corps should equal anything In
tho major leagues If. properly handled.
these prognostications are correct I
III have no cause to worry. I will
guarantee that I. will get nil out of the
tosscrs that thero Is In them."
Five Veteran Pitcher.
Chance has five veterans to begin with,
All of them are right banders. Hussell
'ortl Is recognized tho class of the lot,
despite his disappointing form In 1911
lo was the sensation of the league In
1910, his first season, winning twenty-
Ix games nnd losing only six. Ho
slumped a llttlo the following season.
but yet won two-thirds of his games. Ills
record last year was much better than
that of his club. Ford was handicapped
from the start of last year. lie rounded
Into -condition very slowly nnd had to
go along nearly two months without
Hweeny, his only reliable, battery mate,
Toward the end of the season Iluss
seemed to have regained nl hts old-tlmo
ffcctlvcncss. Ha pitched a guma against
tho Qlants toward the cud of tho season
that called forth unstinted praise from
McQraw. Ford Is the only pitcher before
the public who can break his spltbalt to
either right or left, ut will.
The other veteran pitchers nrc Itay
Fisher, Itay Caldwell, Jack Warhop und
George McConnoll. Warhop Is the gamcst
fellow you can possibly Imagine. He has
an underhanded delivery that Is tho mail
puzzling since tho days of Joo McQln
nlty. warhop never was a bud pitcher,
but he should bo a crackajack this year.
ormerly ho weighed only 1 pounds In
fighting trim. Ho has taken on nearly
twenty-five pounds since tho closo of tho
season. Vet ho Ih not fat. Hts extra
flesh Is good muscle and Jack Is sum
that ha will give the best of his com
rades a run for pitching honors. Usher.
Caldwell and McConnell are alt big" fel
lows. McConnell stands a feet 8 Inches
In height and though slim, is wlrv and
tough, Both he and Fisher nro spltball
pitchers. McConnell Is possessed of ter
rifle speed, which ho mixes nicely with a
puzzling change of puce. Ho starts his
delivery away up aver his head, thus
putting the batter at a distinct dlsad-
antage. Itay Caldwell, a lanky six
footer, Is ono of tho best curvo pitchers
In the circuit. Ills team mates declare
that his fast bull Is us wicked us that of
mmoky " Joe Wood. Caldwell would huva
uccn a grand pitcner tho last two sea
sons had ho taken proper coro of him
seir. ,
Five New Recruit.
The flvo recruit pitcher, nro Chcstoi-
noir, ai Mcnuis, Padd, Qrc-n, Hay Kent
ing anil ueorge Davis. All but Qreon

Pitched hla first professional bull last
season. Ho did not have much of
fast bull nnd was turned over to Unit

Improved performer. Hoff Is u southpaw
and If ho has the nocesary BDeed will
give a good account of himself In anv
class. Ho has n beautiful curvo and as
fine a drop as could bo desired. Ho
seemed a llttlo light a year ago. but
ho wus very young and slnco then bus
filled out to man'H slzo.
Hohulz Is a left-hander, too. llo hallj
from the South Atlanta, league. Ho
Pitched several games ut the tail end of
the last ncason and acquainted ilm!f
ono of the greatest prospfrts sln o
the first arrival of the disappointing Jmt
Vuughu. Kchulz Is about us light ivi
Vaughn, has as much ipeod nnd up
parently better control. Oreen Is a giart
recruit from the New England leusue and
so Is Keating, ftreen ban never been
seen In a big league uniform. Kcattm;
was ull worn out winning n pennant
for I-awrence before he reported to
Wolvorton. He had no opportun'ty to
prove his worth, Davis Is a college
product, a Williams eo!ttn,e offering, lie
was awfully green and will probablv hu
assigned to bench duty tor a wh'.lo If
Iil Is retained.
Chance never bus had much experience
with spltball pitchers, but he will flm'
enough to satisfy his curiosity when Un
Arcadian lands his human freight at
Hamilton. Bermuda. Ford, richer. McCon
nell, Green and Keating all dully with

England's featherweight champion, has
gene bad: considerably In the opinion ot
Tlombnrdler Wells, who saw th recent
twenty-round Wittle between Drls'eoll and
Oxveti Moron at the National Sporting
Club of London. Wells, who l a close
observer and boxing enthuslust of th j
first degree, said In discussing the bout:
"Drifcoll Is not the wonder of foat !

weight In Great Rrltalu in a twemy

than a' year when he met Moral, in on

and nfter the twentieth round ended 1
figured that .Drlscoll should have been
declared the winner by Referee Douglass,
b.t Jem. had ten points the better of tlvj

celled Moran so much tlat ho looked

and aggressive, cumo with nrush in tho
Inst . round nnd hud Drlscoll In, soin'
trotible. Drlscoll escaped inuny Jangor
oils punches by ducking his head or usliig
Ills feet, if It hadn't been for his btaj,i
work he might have fared worse, for his
stamina was rapidly leaving him. The
r.eferce called the bout a draw, but theiu
was much dissatisfaction. 1 -would ha.--named
Drlscoll tho winner. I think ho 's
the greatest boxer in the world." -
A lion I Welsh's. Claim.
"How about Fieddlo Welsh's" claim to
the world's lightweight tiye?". tlip Brit
ish heavyweight champion was naked. '
"Welsh has claimed the title all right
and lots of Englishmen think he cansUc
cefsfully. defend It. I don't lmllcvo he
will visit this country .just yet, for I
hear that ho will box the winner of the
Matt Wtlls-Hilgh Mchcgnn match ut the
National Sporting club. Welsh, didn't
have much on Wells when he beat tho
latter for the English title. It was a
very even bout .and might have been
called a draw. In England the boxln?
public regard Pacltcy McFatland us the
best Amerlcah lightweight, for they don't
know much about such men as Ritchie,
Rivers and Wqlgast."
"Do you really believe you can whip
Juck Johnson?"
Conlit Whip Johnson.
"I most certainly do. You see. John
son has but one style. Ho sets himself
and meets tho fellows who rush him.
In that way he can put all his strength
Into hts punches. But he never could
hit with effect while In motion. I firmly
bellevo that I can feint Johnson Into
leads that Is, make htm assume the at
tack. If he does I am confident that I
can puzzle hlin with my foot work so
that his defenso will be worthless. He
never has beaten a first-class boxer, and
I doubt very much whether he Is game
enough to take as much punishment as
Palzer did when he boxed mo here last
year."
The BrltlBh champion's brother, Sid
ney Wells, who Is his sparring partner,
says that Boinbadler when he Isn't fight
ing or training, keeps his mind on the
clever end of the game.
"Ho bus mudo a study of boxing," said
Sidney, "and frequently he thinks of
something new. He Is likely to make
mo get out of bed at night or leave my

new method of attack or defenso on me..
Ho overlooks nothing."

Tommy Burns Has
Trouble with Busy
Calgary Minister
CALGARY. Canada. Feb. 22.-Tomniy
Burns, erstwhile holder of the wqrld's
heavy-weight championship, is having a
great controversy these days with a mln
later of Calgary. Burns conducted a
boxlns club and the Rev. Dr. Marshall Is
attempting to .close It up. Mr. Marshall
has been conducting his campaign from
the pulpit, and Tommy has been "fir
ing" back through tho newspapers.
Marshall stigmatized tho boxing bouts at
Tommy's club as brutal prize fights,
whereupon Burns returned to tho nttac'.t
by declaring that thoso bouts were not
nearly so brutal as tho bouts between
the youngsters In the gymn-dium of tho
church of which the Rev. Mr. Marshall
Is pastor. "I came to Calgary with a
reputation, while Mr. Marshall appears
to be trying to get ono at my expense,
but I don't propose to let him do It."
Burns agrees to publish all the important
events In his past life If the Rev. Mr.
Marshall will publish his. It Is a great
battle of wits and at the present time tho
populace seems to be with tho former
champion.
