The governor's views on boxing have never been made quite clear, although he is known to be a lover of clean sports. There seems to be considerable uneasiness regarding his attitude, and as far as has been | ascertained the promoters throughout the state are really, worried When the bill comes up for discus- sion within the next week or two an effort will be made to have every city | where boxing has been staged with success represented in large numbers. New Haven could send such men as Dave Fitzgerald, Frank Coyle, J. Har- | mar Bronson, Tex McCann, Vincent | Reina and Captain ~Doherty, all of whom are strong advocates of boxing, {and who have been affiliated with the | promoting end of the sport during the | past dozen years. Bridgeport's dele- gation could include Dick Howell, | Billy Hogan, Terry Lee and Harry Quinn, while Waterbury and Meriden might send George Mulligan and Mike Doran, respectively. Hartford, too, Qo a whole lot toward converting g fans if the how sufficient cles, and when the records of the four years are written Connecticut will nd out prominently among ‘Forty- Eight” Will he, then, favor the great national sport which was so highly thought of by fighting men on land and sea? Boxing, not prize fighting, was a cherished pastime of the men who bled and died that the world might be free from the horrors of Prussianism. It was upheld by the men who led these fighters and by the big men and bigger organizations back home who stood back of them. Will he, then, it it's up to him, stand back of what the§e boys want? We think he will. “Boxing is not a iyoral question. There is nothirk wrong about boxinz. If there was the United States gov- ernment, the big fraternal and social organizations, the clergy and everyone clse would not have stood for il dur- ing the war. We defy anyone to claim otherwise. Then, if boxing -#as all right then, why is it not all right now? If the game, was a good game for men on whom the very world depended, and at the moment upon which actually did depend, is there any good reason why the sport they love should not be given to them when their task is done? We claim not. “Men get hurt in every game they attempt. Deaths have resulted from almost every active game we know. And they will as long as the earth goes round. In boxing men will get hurt, but if the zame is placed upor: a legal basis and conducted by men who know the game, and by men who like the game and want to see it ex- ist, it will be no more dangerous than other sports—even if poss ble that | e Meriden Record has been a ate of boxing for a num- What its sport expert - in regard to the boxing bill He says, among H.

That is not the case. It is the same chassis, scarcely with a change, on which 300,000 Maxwells have been built. But it is a better looking car. It is finer in finish; angular lines have been straightened out; fenders improved; bonnet simplified; cowl made flush with the top line of the body; seats thick- ened by three inches; circassian dash installed; gas tank slung in the rear, etc. There are twenty-four things done to make it more beautiful. We made the Maxwell simple to start with five years ago. Then we kept on making and making these cars all alike. 'We have now com- pleted 300,000 of them. There is logic in doing on€ thing and doing it well. We have followed that logic. And re- sults tell today. Maxwells have always been noted for their reli-- ability. Now they will become noted for their beauty. And today we are m a pusition w give you a June style in a February Maxwell, which a year ago seemed quite out of the question on account of the war.
