By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—(United Press)—Restoration of boxing in California by the passage of an amendment making the sport legal after a long period of “four-round” amusement igs sure to make conditions better for the boxer but it may play havoc with the sport in the Ba&t. That is nothing to complain about, however. California has an inherent right to the big boxing that has been confined to the east coast since the boxers ruined their own business and brought about the era of four: round bouts on the coast. Perhaps it is all for the best, how- ever, as the East seems to have tired of boxing and it is reasonable to as- sume that California will be inter: ested in seeing some of the big bouts that falled to get a tumble in the Hast. There are several ‘reasons for the slump of interest in boxing around New York. Tex Rickard, who has been hard hit by the slack trade, blames “fighters who won't fight” for the business depression. Perhaps the failure of Rickard and other pro- moters to arrange attractive matches caused the New York sportsmen to turn to other sports for their amuse- ment. One fine match was a last summer and it fell through. was one of those “naturals” that needed no ballyhoo or exploiting to put over but it didn’t go over. It was the Walker-Leonard match for the welterweight championship. Leonard was generally accused of running out of the match on the pretext of a broken hahd, but the wise boys around Broadway claim that the ticket sale was a bust and hat some other reason had to be und to call off the fight. The pro- motores hardly could have added to the burden of conimercialism handi- capping the sport by admitting that they couldn't make enough money out of the card. Things have happened since then that would indicate a desire on the part of the principals to create more interest in the contest. Walker and Leonard have been paying all kinds of nasty things about each other and for It 2 free-for-all on Broadway when they met one night recently. It 1 still @ natural match and the criticism et Leonard vy ween fit to accept jout protest is not hurt- ing future prospects for the match. As Leo Flynn and Jimmy Johnston, an astute manager and a smart pro- moter say: - ‘I don’t care What you say about mé as-long as you say something and keep me in print.” Walker is in very bad with the iw York Boxing commission, for no good reason, and Leonard Is caus: ing the commissioners to lose pa- tyence with him, Perhaps this match can be arrang- ed by California promoters. Leonard says he is going to the coast this winter and that he will accept any g00d matches he can get. Walker will be forced to go to the coast if the California commission decides to have no working agreement with the New York commission. Under the present conditions Walker can't fight in New York and every oppo- nent he meets outside the state is suspendéd by the New York com. mission and by the other commis- sions that work in agreement with the New: York boay. New Jersey recently pulled out of the co-operative agreement with New York and the California com- mission would be unwise to enter in- to any kind of’a working plan with New York or any other state. California is in a position to be independent. It is a promising field that does not have to look upon New York as a great rival and it is a position where it needs no protec- tion from New York. California has a chanee to get the pick of all the boxers in the game by permitting the boxers who are under suspension In New York the m of its territory, The of- fenses for which most of the boxers have been suspended in New York were of more of a technical than eriminal nature. The suspended box- ers cértainly can't be regarded as escaped convicts or country-Jumpers and the morale and safety of Call- fornia hardly could be endangered by their presence. While the return of California to the list of big boxing states may hurt the game In New York, it has the possibility of working to the benefit of the sport in other states which have been impoverished since New York took a monopoly of the sport. The boxing law in California will put & lot of boxers on the road. They will be traveling to the Pacific coast in large numbers and smart managers will be satisfied to accept engagements on the transcohtihen- tal trip if they can pick up purses that would pay thelr expenses and contribute to a little profit on the side. On the other hand, the business in New York may be improved be- cause with a serious rival, the New York commission will have a less important field with a consequent Joss of the natural authority that it has sought to obtain, The New York commission as It is now constituted, deserves @ lot of credit for a serious attempt to ele- vate and regulate a game that hasn’t flourished more in the past because it didn't have the supervision that the New York body has sought to exercise. The New York commission has a thankless job becalise it has so many In the ten-cent galery seats to shout! "You're wrong” every time it takes a step, The commissioners are Qll substantial business men ahd they get no salary for the time they Spend at extra duties and no satia- faction for the abuse which is some- times heaped upon them. In trying New York rule tequiring a cham- pion to defend his title once in every six months be observed by the cham- pions who want to fight under the New York rules: The commission made a conces- sion that the championa would not have to fight in New York as as they fought in a decision bout but this. practically closed other flelds because New Jersey, which is the only other state in which "a big championship fight can be staged at a profit does not permit decision bouts. With a decision law, California may help the New York commission, although it may take some big bouts from the ities under the juris- Miction of the New York body. If inactive champions are told that they can defend their titles in Cali- fornia and remain in the good graces of New York, it is quite reasonable to figure that some of them will go to California and return to New ut com- plex angles ‘of the situation, it can be assumed that in Call- fornia will help the game. Thére are enough boxers to support the sport in a dozen states and it has been shown that boxing cannot thrive | with all the boxers in one state.

Worland ‘high schooi's football team helped to straighten out the state championship tangle yesterday afternoon by decisively defeating Greybull by a score of 23 to 0, there- by aliminating the hitherto unde- feated Big Horn aspirants from any Shahee at the championship. As Worland has already been deefated by Thermopolis it looks as though the winner of the Casper-Thermop- olis Thanksgiving Aay will have a clear cut right to the title, Other important games played yesterday were Laramie's defeat: of Dougias by a 17 to 0 score and,the win of Glenrock over Lusk by a Score of 26 to 0. The defeat of Doug- las by Lusk a week ago seemed to have put the Converse county aggre- gation on the skids and they failed to show anything against Laramie. CONST TITLE RATTLE LOOMS BERKELEY, Ca! the Associated Pre: sity of California saw red today— the deep sort of red known as Car- dinal, which is the color and symbol ot the most cherished ‘rival, Stan- ford university. With nothing less than the foot- ball supremacy of the Pacific coast conference at stake, the campus was a cauldron of enthusiasm,. from which bubbled predictions that the California Bears would capture their fifth straight Pacific coast cham plonship and their seventh straight game with Stanford. As might be expected, a different forecast was issued from the Cardinal supporters, who began pouring into Berkeley at an early hour.’ The Stanford team, much richer in veteran material than California, got two hard knocks the last week of practice, one expected, the other entirely unforeseen. Ernie Nevers, held by many to be the best full- back in the west, was hurt early in the season ahd has been out of the lineup most of the time. His ab- sence from the big game was an- ticipated and Hey and Bogue had been developed to do his work. ———__—_ KAPLAN, KRAMER AND LOMBARDO WIN BOUTS IN GOTHAM TOURNEY NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Three featherweight boxers stand out to- day in the tournament held under the auspices of the New York State Athletic commission, Louls “Kia” Kaplan, of Meriden, Connecticut, Danny Kramer of | Philadelphia and Jose Lombardo of Panama remain in the running as the result of preliminary bouts held last night.

WIY, sister of WJZ, while it has numerous features of its own, is operated by the same personnel as WJZ is handled by, has the same faults and virtues, and is used by WJZ on numerous occasions as its overflow outlet. Of course, the Radio corporation controls both WSY and WJZ, and both are located in the Aolian building, New York. ‘WIJY operates tour nights weekly, Sunday, Tuesday, Thusday and Fri- sharing the local 405-meter length with WOR, Newark. € are the Weekly French Lesson, Wynne’s orchestra, the Sunday evening concert by the Commodore concert orchestra, and a few others. Numerous features which have bet come popular at WJZ have been transferred to WJY, where, in spite of the fact that WJY's audience is much smaller than that of WJZ, they wiil bo assured welcome, hav ing budlt up a following due to thei: merits. These features include the French lesson, the Pop Question Game and Current Events talk among others. When it was decided to maintain two stations in New York, the RCA intended to make WJY the one handling popular features, while WJZ was to concentrate on those of high stand: such as symphony concerts, opera, etc. However, this plan has apparently. been abandoned, for WJY lists classical concerts, political events, banquets of impor. tance, etc., almost as frequently as does WJZ. WJY has been a con venience for WJZ on more than one oetasion. During the Democratic convention, WJY handled a Phithar monte concert originally scheduled for WJZ one night, while the process was reversed the next time the or chestra was scheduled. Several times recently, WJY has hooked up with WC chenectady, in broad tasting the WGY Players, and with WRC in bro: sting important Washington events. What has been sald of WJZ In a previous article may be applied with equal truth to WJY, and with the same staff of announcers, it is diffi- cult to tell them apart. Sort of a Siamese-twin arrangement, although WSY is Inclined to be more frivolous than its sedate relative, Little remains to be said about WJY. Its programs are of good quality, dance and concert music each getting an even break and with good studio recitals to round out the bil, Transmission is high class amt remote control work is fully 4s good as that of WJZ. It might be said that two stations operated by one company in one city from the same building means a lot of waste mat- ter, but it is strangely untrne with the WJ family, who are getting bet- ver and lu cay by day. —_—> “Give and let give—liber- ally, yet economically,” is the Shop-o-scope rule.
