Y., Feb. 6.—The re- cent cold blast 1 this section has given the ice scooter yachtsmen ample opportunity to enjoy his favorite di- version. For the past few days the Great South bay has been filled with the novel craft and some spirited races have been held. The ice scooter yacht is solely a product of this section, and when the bay is part- 1y covered with ice hundreds of these boats can be seen scootering around here and there on the glossy surface. The ice scooter yacht is a catboat with Tunners. There s no prettier sight to the onlooker than to see the small yacht go scootering over the ice, then suddenly dive into the water and go salling along at a great rate. The cooter yacht is used to go hunting. NEW YORK BOXING Dunnigan Introduces Measure at Albany for Unpaid Commission Albany, Feb. 6.—A would put the boxing commission back on the basis wunder which it operated before Fred Wenck and his confreres were appointed was intro- duced last night by Senator John J. Dunnigan of The Bronx, a democrat. Dunnigan’s bill proposes to abolish the present commission and create a new one, also of three members, to serve without compensation. The sum of $5,000 is provided for all expenses of such a commission. At present the commissioners each receive $3,000 a year and the secretary gets a similar stipend. The Dunnigan bill is similar to the original Frawley bill, which became a law and was amended by the Malone act, under which the present commis- sion is operating. Under the original Frawley law the commissioners served without pay and $5,000 a year was provided for the salary of a secretary, office rent and other expenses. The legislature is thoroughly op- posed to Governor Whitman’s proposi- tion to repeal the hoxing law and to enact no substitute. that the bad administration of the dutles of the commission has put the sport into disfavor.

It took all the nerve and skill of the Brooklyn veteran to over- come the early lead gained by thp sturdy colleglan, but his margin of victory at the end was a large one, the score reading 800 to 206. BOXING HEARING RESUMED Hearing in Charges Against Boxing Commissioner Resumed But Noth- ing Sensational Transpires. New York, Feb. 6.—Nothing that reflected any credit on the official ad- ministration of fistic affairs in this section was brought to light at the resumption of the hearing of the lative friends of boxing feel that the sport will be rehabilitated, charges against Fred Wenck, chair- man of the Boxing commission, at the Bar assoclation yesterday. The testimony presented before Franklin B. Lord, commissioner appointed by Gov. Whitman, was not as malodor- cus as that which went on record in the first two days of the trial in Al- bany last week, but that was to have been expected. The hearing sagged perceptibly, Emil 8. Fuchs, counsel for Pat Pow- ers, Johnny White and Harry Pol- lok, the complainants, and Austen G. Fox, who handled the case for Wenck were not as enthusiastic, vigorous or vitriolic as they had been at the cap- itol. There was a reason. The trial took on the appearance of an autopsy. Gov. Whitman’s move for the repeal of the Frawley law will receive little support in the legislature, but it is agreed by everybody that the present commission may regard itself as hav- ing been requested to resign. The hearing is not yet closed of- ficlally. A person whom Wenck re- gards as an important witness came in from Pennsylvania too late to tes- tify. Others with a bit to say for the defense still are on the list and it looks very much as if there will be , another session in Albany on Friday.

Fultz of the Baseball Players' Fra- ternity yesterday, ‘“or if the interna- tional situation continues serious, there is only one thing to do in base- ball, as in everything else. That one thing is to bury the hatchet and get busy on the important issue. In case , war comes all bets are off in baseball.” The attention of Captain T, L. Hus- | ton, half owner of the Yankees, was | called to the remarks of Fultz, | “It’s as plain as the nose on your face,” declared this militant and mill~ | tary individual, “that Dave Fultz i looking for a hole. He wishes to save his face. He knows, as I know, and | every one connected with the game, that the strike is dead. He knows that it has been dead for weeks. His blufi has been called. He is looking for an out—some opening that will permit him to retire with a vestige of grace. “I wish to go on record right here | for the benefit of Mr. Fultz and the few players who may still be lined up with him that there will be no hatchet { burying, come what will.

A. U. on Suspension Charges--Adams Can Have One Too * New York, Feb. 6.—Edward L. Emes, the Bronx Church House ath- lete who recently asked Justice Tjer- ney of the Bronx supreme court for an injunction to restrain the A. A. U. from preventing him from com- peting in amateur races, will recelve a hearing from the local registration committee next Friday night. Emes was accused by the A. A. U. of vio- lating the “capitalization rule,” and had his card cancelled by the metro- politan association. Whether or not his connection with a sporting goods store in The Bronx warranted his dismissal from the amateur rankst¢ will be threshed out on Friday, when Emes will have a chance to prove he still is entitled to compete as a simon pure. The case will be heard in the Adams-American Express bullding on Madison avenue, near Forty-seventh street, the same building where the famous Kiviat-Smith and the Pl Adams cases were heard. If Emes' is found gullty he will be dismissed from the amateur union. Platt Adams, who was disbarred at the same time as Emes, may get & hearing on Friday if he wants one. The New York A. C. is eager to have Adams’ side of the case heard. Close friends of Adams yesterday said, however, that Platt is eager to qui active competion, hence will acoept the original verdict of the A. A. U.' declaring him a professional.
