The young men of the city -who are athletically Inclined, will be met Monday evening to discuss and per haps formulate some method of pro cedure which tn the end will mean an athletic club that la something bet . ter thin th HIIm nt th nt Txl " Grande can boast of. One Suggested Plan. There Is now under discussion one plan which is somewhat e'gantle, but If undertaken In the right spirit, will eventually be a successful one. It is simply to proceed along lines that aro up-to-date and practical. If to have an athletlo club at all, the city and Its younger citizens cannot afford to have a mediocre one. To do thlH, it .Is absolutely necessary for the club to have an Instructor, at least a part of the year. About the middle of August the club Should be In running order. An athletic Instructor should be hired at that time and his services maintained until the basketball Heason closes, or about April 1, He should be an all-around athlete, capable to take charge of any phase of Indoor or out door sports, who will devote his entire To commence his day's work he could conduct 'a gymnasium class of ladles and girls in the afternoons.

At 6 . his evening's work would commence with' the regular membership of the club. GymnaRtlc classes could be held for stated peri ods, and then the varied, sports in their respective seasons could be taken up. Football would be under his coach ing, basketball played according to his instructions, handball, indoor baseball, boxing, wrestling and all the other phases of the sport would each receive Its just quota of attention. ' The Finance. To finance such a project seems, on the face of It, too strenuous for this of doing these things can readily be hired. for not to exceed tlf rp I month for the time he I here, nail rent, on se viral building now in sight which are suitable, would not run over 135 per month. Expenses of a mis cellaneous nature would bring the to tal to something llko $175 at the most. To clear this expenditure, a member ship of an even 100 at $1 per member, would handle a large share of it. If the various sports be conducted oh a winning basis, could not net $75 per month, the sports had not better be tried. , Meeting Monday Night. On next Monday evening at 8 o'clock all young men of the city are Invited to attend a meeting at The Observer office. At that time some tangible scheme will be hatched and adopted for the welfare of athletics tn this city. . Notice for Bids.
