Viola- | permit was suspended. “The thorough physical examina- tions required prior to contestants entering the ring have kept the sport | free from accidents due to physical | condition. Not a single serious ac-| cident has occurred | “Boxing under chapter 912 of the ' 1920 laws has proven popular with | the public. if the patronage enjoyed by the various clubs through the | state may be taken as an indication,” the commission finds. “It is essen- | tially different from the sport as con- | ducted in other states, and the New XYgrk law is a far better and more | isfactory one than any boxing | laf now in effect in any state.” | Says Pald Board Must ov. Miller has cleared away any ddubt that may have been in the minds of legislators and boxing en- thusiasts regarding his position on the sport as it is now being conduct- d in the state. In strong terms, the goVernor de- clarcd he was for the reorganization | of the present commission, as is pro- posed in the Simpson-Brundage bill pending in the legislature, which would abolish the paid offices of the present commission—three in num- ber—and substiture in their places non-salaried officials, and place wres- tling under their supervision. The governor said he was willing to give boxing another chance, and that he was not for repeal of the law at this time, but he added that if a commission such as is proposed in the Simpson-Brundage bill “could not regulate it as I think it ought to be regulated, 1 would be in favor of prohibiting it altogether.” WILSON-RATNER FIGHT gls NO W IN PROSPECT BY FAIRPLAY.

His‘ big farewell boxipg show at the Madi- son Square Garden on May 2 will be held as per schedule, but where, oh, where, are the champlons that Tex is going to have perform there? All missing, every one. The feature bout for that May 2 date has gone by the board, and instead there will be four twelve-round fights, with Midget Smith and Jack Sharkey as the top- liners. B The bout that interested him was one between Mike Gibbons, who has just come_to life out in St. Paul. and Johnny Wilson, the middleweight champion. Mike was willing, but after Tex had spent about all the spare cash he possessed in_ telephone, tele- graph and postal tolls he gave up trying to get Wilson's opinion as to his $40.000 offer.

He said he would fight if he could pick his man, or ‘words to that effect. After this Rick- ard took the count, so far as cham- jons were concerned, and decided upon four twelve-round bouts.
