But the time of competition was short for the Acme, which folded for lack of interest in 1893.

That left the Reliance without a great, local competitor. And interest slacked off in its activities also until in 1910 it went the way of Acme. Various other athletic groups started, flourished for a short time and died before the next big club was organized in 1949. That was the Athens Club, still in business at its Clay Street address. Under the leadership of Lynn Stanley and Norman De Vaux, first president, the athletic club was incorporated under state law April 7, 1921.

A period of planning and fund-raising filled the next few years but on July 2, 1924, the first spadeful of earth was turned. Construction began later that year and the building was ready for occupancy on September 28, 1925. The total investment had reached $1,800,000. Since that date many famous members of the sports world have passed through the Athens Club portals and many were the champions that were turned out in the huge upper floor swim-mingool. But' the Athens has done more than just develop athletes, it has given Oakland a place where friends can meet and strive toward that one ideal: a sound mind in a strong body.

UPl Argentina's most famous team has been brokeri up for disci plinary reasons, The Diligenti quintuplets, now in thelreighth year, have been lent to five different English boarding schools. Father Franco! Diligenti, the well-to-do, Italiah-born factory owner who ever Since the quints' birth has been sheltering them from the glare of publicity, quietly decided that the children should be treated as single units. "They were becoming an increasingly serious problem," he said in an interview.

"Their team spirit, a wonderful thing in most cases, was just too much for their mother and myself and their teachers and servants. BEHAVIOR TOO MUCH "Just a year ago, I commented happily on how closely knit a team they were. Sinc then, their squad-behavior meant "that they defied discipline and any corrective influence from outside." Diligenti, a busy man who has little time to Spare, and Mrs. Diligenti, whose restraining influence was strained no end, agreed that, harsh as it may seem, the best for the kids was to have them separated. "Besides," Diligenti explained, "we wanted the children to be educated as any other boys and girls.

We wanted their individu alities developed. When they went to the same school, the teachers and the other pupils could not help treating them as the Quints." It's different how, said Diligenti, who has firmly requested headmasters and headmistresses to be more stern with his children than with other pupils. SPLIT FAR APART The five now! study, play, eat and sleep in schools' miles apart They get together only on rare occasions on week-ends but never the five of them at the same time. Their father takes them out for a couple of hours, singly or, at most, by twos, every Saturday. Franco, junior, who has not yet decided what to be when he grows up; and Carlos Alberto, the prospective Jairman, met only once in the last three months.

That was when: playing a soccer game for their respective schools. Their three sisters Maria Cristina, Maria Fernanda and Maria Esther have changing ideas about their wishes for later in life.

First one to get under way was the Acme, which started activities jin 1881. The athletes of the time flocked to the Broadway and1 11th Street headquarters and before too long a period had passed members of the club were competing in i boxing, wrestling, football and handball.

But the! great days for the Acme Club didn't start until a natural rival, the Reliance Club started in the mid 80's. The newer organization, which 'catered more to the social side of sports in contrast to the more robust nature of 'the Achie, built a club house which now houses the Esquire Theater on Clay and San Pablo Streets. The great boxers of "the era, Jim Corbett, Jm Jeffries, Tom Sharkey and the like, all showed before packed houses irt the two gyms. Reliance members fielded a football team and played in a league with the University of California, the Wasps; Orions and the Sam Francisco! Olympic Club.
