Boxing does not lend itself to ama-teurism, as a man sacrifices more self-respect when he sustains a defeat in thering than he would in one on the cin-der path. There must be some recog-nized authority. As Ithas been impos-sible in the past to keep these pro-moters within the rules, it Is difficultto see how they will improve conditionswhen they hold the reins of govern-

ment.'*

v.'.j

The representatives of all the clubswill meet to-night at 8 o'clock at theclubrooms of the Hayes Valley Cluband will form a permanent organiza-tion. Omcers and a board of directorswill be elected and the new organiza-tion will then apply for a charter as anamateur association.

The present move is considered amere subterfuge on the part of the box-ing,clubs. They want to pay younfftloys a olttance and use the cloak ofamateurism to keep down the moneyvalue of prises. At the same time they

evade the city ordinance which limitsprofessional boxing contests to one amonth. To all intents and purposes themajority of their contests come underthis head.

As a result of the action taken by thePacific Athletic Association In sus-pending the prompters of the last fightgiven under the auspices of the Lin-coln Athletic Club, together with theprincipals who took part in the affair,

the amateur fight .managers have de-cided to break away from the associa-tion and will form an organizationamong themselves to control the ama-teur boxing game in this city and inOakland.

Such was the decision reached by themanagers of the various clubs yester-day. Those interested in the movementinclude the Bay City Club, LincolnClub, San Francisco Club and HayesValley Club, all of this city, and theSequoia Club and the West End Clubof Oakland. The managers of eachorganization say they have determinedto see the thing through and will breakaway from the P. A. A. at any cost.It is understood that the promoters

of the Lincoln Club are at the bottomof the plot. They became angry at theregistration committee of the associa-tion when that body suspended themand their boxers for alleged profes-sionalism and quietly tipped it aroundthat they would not submit to the pen-alty.'

The Lincoln Club has advertised about for this week, although Its licensehas been temporarily suspended and ithas no authority to hold such an exhi-bition. When the association •nembersheard of this they stated they wouldsuspend the Lincoln Club permanentlyand would irripeae a heavy fine on Itsmanagers before letting them backinto the fold again.

The managers of the club were se-cretly plotting against the association,with the result that they succeeded ingetting the other clubs interested Inthe new movement, and therefore theforming of a new association is prac-tically an easy matter. Under the newregime the clubs willhave to pay onlya small sanction fee and the new asso-ciation willnot trouble Itself about any-other sort of sport outside of boxing.

At the last meeting of the associationthe board of managers decided to ap-point a special committee to look outfor boxing and to admit all the boxersinto the association under a separatehead. When the fight clubs heard ofthis itmay have prompted them to or-ganize among themselves, for theythought as long as the association isabout to form a separate departmentfor the boxers they might as well havecontrol of it themselves.

INSURING CURRENCYIN TRANSMISSION

Banks Even Guard Against Loss ofMoney Shipped by Registered

Mail Service.The careless way with which large

packages of bank notes were tossedthrough the windows of the New Yorkpostofflce recently for transmission toout-of-town points has "excited thewonder of persons familiar with therisks involved and the sums at stake.The movement is specially heavy Justnow, aggregating from $3,000,000 to$5,000,000 a week, and including con-signments from most of the large banksand banking houses .in the city. Thecurrency is sent everywhere in singlepackages, containing $10,000 or less,protected by policies of insurance pro-tecting the owners against every pos-sible hazard at rates varying from 15to 80 cents per $1000 of currency in-sured. Most of the notes are five, tenand twenty dollar denominations, be-sides supplies of ones and twos for useas "hand-to-hand money" for cropmovement purposes.

These transfers go to all sections ofthe United States. Canada, Great Brit-ain and to continental- points. Thebusiness has now grown to large pro-portions, and is written by some of thestrongest Insurance companies . ofEurope and America. One very inter-esting claim paid a few days ago wasfor; the loss of a parcel containing$2700 *.n bank, notes shipped throughthe mails by a Canadian institution.The destination was a. small postoillcewhere the business was so light thatthe postmaster, not having the use ofa safe in which to store valuables, wasforced to take home every night unde-livered registered mail that arrivedduring the day. The package of banknotes was ,taken out of the office inthis* way, and just before the post-master reached home he was attackedby footpads and relieved of the money.The loss was immediately reported,

and the insurance company at once re-imbursed the institution, at the sametime offering $500 reward .for the de-tection of the thief. The case has notbeen cleared up yet.

Packages containing $20,000 of in-sured bank notes were on the trainthat went through a bridge in a South-ern State recently. New York under-writers were much concerned over theincident until they discovered that thecar In which the insured packages werestored remained safe on the rails. Thelargest single risk ever written wastaken inEngland some time ago, whenone package containing $25,000,000 wasinsured.

Marquis de Villavieja of the Societe de Poloof Par!? who was in consultation last weekwith Chairman Herbert and Secretary Hazardof the Polo Association, is still hopeful that anAmerican team will go over in June for theinternational tournament for the James.Gor-don Bennett cups at the Bagatelle grounds, al-though he realizes that this is to be an event-

ful year for the game over here. The condi-tions of the Dagatelle tournament favor theh^pes of the marquis, for they permit thepresence of but one top-notcher on a team, andthis may' bring -a- -*piek--up*1 four 'Of touringAmericans to the contest.

The tornctchers are those whom we wouldterm here nine or ten goal men. for whileour handicap pvntem Is not used by the Hurl-lr.gham Club, the be«t players her* are namedeach season on its "recent form" list andtheism so rateci ar« barred from certain re-stricted- competitions at Hurlingham and else-where. The five who went over In 1902

IJ>CO. Th« Hamburg: Polo Club has written toSecretary Hazard asking for advice regardingthe shipment cf its ponies to St. Louie. It Isexpected that a definite announcement aboutthe coming of a Hurlingham team will bemade at the annual meeting of the Polo Asso-ciation in Aoril.

Allcritics of the game agree that theBurlingame men have gone in toomuch for individual playing to theneglect of team work. Walter Hobartget the fashion in this years ago andit is still the vogue.

The California enthusiasts have notabandoned hope of seeing some of theEast-.-rn experts here next month. Itispossible George J. Gould and his sons'may come, and Foxhall Keene is alsoa likely visitor. Harry Payne Whit-ney intended coming, but the death ofhis father upsets his plans.

An Eastern writer discussing polosays:

Under the revision* of the playing rules tobe made by the Hurltncham Polo Club, asidefrom a better codification, there is a firmFtar.d against all forms of dangerous ridingor swinging: of the mallet. A new clause Uthat when two players are riding abreast, noplayer £hall strike at the ball over or underthe body or across the legs of an adversary'spony. Also, a player who drops or breaks hisEtick. may, under the proposed code, borrowone from one of his own side. The latter pointis new and important- It will be more ef-fective In the English game, where the ex-periment has been tried In playing No. 1 with-out a mallet, than In this country, for in off-side ilay No. 1 needs his stick as often asany of «he buncn. On the contrary, underthe no-off-4de rule. No. 1 Is chiefly useful inriding off the back, for, should he get a chanceto run with the ball, the back has only topull up to put him out of the game. Many-occasions may arise, however, in our gamewhen the team might gain an advantageshould passing sticks be permitted. Insteadof forcing; the player who is minus to dismountto pick up his mallet or ride to the side linesfor a fresh one.

As a preliminary to the coast cham-pionship polo tournament, which opensat Del Monte on the 18th inst., a seriesof games willbe played at Burlingameto-mcrrow, Thursday and Sunday. Six-teen players, divided into four teams,will take part and the outcome willgive a line on the possible strength ofthe Burltngame representatives in theinternational match,*

The colony of po-loists at BurlingameCountry Club has been materiallystrengthened during the past week bythe addition of the English players whohave -been in Southern California—Messrs. Garland, F. J. Mackey andNeil Haig.

-The latter ranks second to

W. S. Buckmaster of England, who isconsidered the world's greatest poloist.Mr. Haig weighs 1230 pounds, and howfc-urteen and a half hand ponies carryhim in a fast game is difficult to un-derstand.

There should be s=on:e interesting rac-ing at Ingleside this week. The mainattraction will be the Palace Hotelhandicap at one and an eighth miles,

to be decided or. Saturday. It willhave a value of more than $4000 andthe horses that ran in tne Burns han-dicap are eligible. There are also anumber of otheis that are likeJy tostart.

VETERANS PLAYIN GOOD FORM

Taylor Brothers Prove StarPerformers on the Califor-nia Tennis Club Courts

The threatening condition of . theweather kept a number of players fromthe tennis courts yesterday. At theCalifornia Club courts reveral good

matches were played before the courtsbecame too wet.' Will Taylor and GusTaylor were thejstar performers of theday. They met Chester Smith andSidney Salisbury in a good two-setmatch.

The losers were by no means at theirbest, but nevertheless the victory ofthe Taylors was a well-earned one.They played good, steady teams andoutclassed their opponents from

•the

start. Never after the first two games

was the outcome in doubt. Will Tay-lor's net 'work was particularly good,while his handling of deep lobs wasthe feature of the match. . His brotherexecuted many clever drives and wasHtUe behind the ex-champion of thecoast in point of skill. >"W

Later in the day Salisbury and Smithshowed remarkable improvement whenthey defeated Bay Cornell and .Drum-mond MacGavIn. ;The winners took thefirst set with the loss of only twogames. With the score 5-2 againstthem, Cornell and MacGavIn bracedand annexed the next three games.This brought, the score to 5-5. At thispoint the rain set In and interruptedfurther play.

'v .

•In the only three-set match of the

day Sidney Salisbury and Harry Rolfewon from Paul Jones and Carl Gard-ner. The outcome of this-match wasin doubt until the last point had beenwon. Jones and Gardner won the firstset easily. Their driving and smashing

were particularly good. In the next

two sets Rolfe and Salisbury were in-clined to take more chances, whichproved the more successful style ofplay They won the second set, 6^4.In the third set Jones and Gardnernearly won, requiring only one pointto win at 5-4 and 40-30.

SHELL MOUND SHOOTING.

Only one scheduled match for thechampionship of the California Asso-ciation Football League was- playedyesterday. This ended ina tie betweenthe Occidentals and the Albion Rovers.The match between the Vampires andthe Oakland Hornets that was sched-uled to be played on the ground at Ido-ra Park was called off on account ofthe sodden, slippery condition of thefield. . ,>

In the morning the match betweenthe Thistles and the Pickwicks was not

•played, no referee being present and theground being too wet. A team of eightThistles played a friendly game againstthe Pickwicks, neither side securing agoal. The Thistle team was made upof W. McGregor, goalkeeper; Taylor,back; Duncan, J. .McGregor and A.•Dlsher, halfbacks; Smith, King and T.S. Lydon, forwards. During the firsthalf Lyden made several shots at thegoal, but none of them went betweenthe posts, Knight stopping them withgreat success.Inthe second half the Pickwicks nar-

rowly missed scoring on more than oneoccasion, but the game ended with noscore for either side. The Pickwickteam lined up as follows: Knight, goal-keeper; Bouton. leftback; Conway.rightback; A. E. Bowcock, left half-back; Watson, center halfback; Todd,right halfback; Murdock, outside left;W. T. Bowcock, inside left; Cowan, cen-ter forward: Warren, inside right; Rob-ertson, outside right. Hugh William-son acted as referee. >- •"/>-;

In the morning a Vampire teamplayed a practice game on the Alamedagrounds against the Hospital Corps ofAlameda. The Vampire team includedthree first eleven men and won, fourgoals to two.

Shortly after 2:30 p. m. on the Ala-meda grounds the ball was kicked offin the match between the Albion Rov-ers and the Pickwicks, C. W. Irish be-ing the referee and the*linesmen beingArthur Robinson and D. Jamieson.After a few minutes' play the Roversput the ball Jnto the net, but the refereegave offside against them. Similar luckshortly afterward befell the Occiden-tals. Later the referee awarded a freekick at goal within the penalty areato the Occidentals, who scored. A sec-ond goal was declared offside and thefirst period ended with' one goal forthe Occidentals against nothing for theAlbion Rovers. In the last three min-utes of the second half Tweedle put tbeball into the net for the Albion Roversand the match ended in a tie.

During the latter part of the secondhalf1John played forward for the Rov-ers, Duquesne taking his place at back.Almost at the end of the game Lan-caster and Hlggins came into collision,Higgins being knocked out and gettingseverely injured about the eye. Thegame throughout tended to be some-what rough, the players being encour-aged In this respect by the ill-timedsuggestions of their supporters on thesidelines. The ground was in excellentcondition and the match was keenlycontested. The teams lined up In thefollowing positions:

USEFUL HINTS FROM :\u25a0'.->."^ISLAND OF JAMAICA

What American Housekeepers MayLearn From Their Sisters of

the Tropics.,A Jamaican woman who was travel-

ing out "West some time ago heardcomplaints about the swarms of antswhich infested every house and gotinto all the food.*

"There is a very simple remedy." shetold her Western friends. "Rub chalkon the legs of the cupboard. The antscannot crawl up over the chalk."

Lime juice or lemon juice is the "WestIndian housekeeper's best friend.Should any of the house linen or wear-Ing apparel become^ mildewed in rainyweather a little lemon juice and a lit-tle common salt will soon make thespots disappear. This receipt appearsto be unknown in this country, andmildew is too oftenregarded as a thingimpossible to remove. Even the pro-fessional laundries nearly always sendhome clothes without removing themildew spots from them. Many a shirtwaist or other article of apparel Isthrown away solely for this reasonwhile itis still perfectly fit to wear.Ifthe American housekeeper will try

this West Indian recipe she will get ridof an enemy thitherto regarded as un-conquerable. So far as is known, noth-ing else willremove mildew.

West Indians have several good re-cipes for keeping mosquitoes out ofthe house. Although they live in amosquito-haunted region, they aremuch less bothered by these pests thanpeople are in the subtropical parts ofthe United States. A favorite recipeis to pluck a number of castor oilleavesand twigs and place them about thehouse. A bunch Is placed over thedining-room table and another bunchover each of the beds. Mosquitoes lovethe leaf of the castor plant, and theycollect upon it and leave the familyalone.
