In the letter of objection sent to the sheriff, the governor says: “The state .legal department has| advised me thatithere is a direct and positive statute against prizefighting in this state. “I think I have the right to assume that any encouhter in which the world champion pugilist engages for a large sum of money is a prizefight. The publicity has all been directed to a contest of that character. “All the writers of the sport cu]-‘ umns have constantly referred to the engagément as a fight. Seats have been on sale at prizefight prices. The press has reported seats advertised at $27.50 for ringside and box seats; $22 for seats in the inner circle and $11 for seats in outer circle. In all the arena is planned to seat 60,000 per- sons, $300,000 “Gate” Expegted. “Prominent sport writers{have re- ferred to Brennan as a challenger for Dempsey's title.
