-8 BOXING THRIVES IN GOTHAM Ringside Sees a Bright Future with New Commission and Increase in State’s Reoeipts. T0 CARD SORAPS THIS SUMMER BY RINGSIDE. NEW YORK, May 1.—This promises to be & most active summer for the grand old game of boxing for Manhattan and environments. Matters pugilistic in this segment of the universe have been in an unsettied condition since the new admin- istration went into control, what with ® proposed completely reorganized per- sonnel in the boxing commission, and an increase In the boxing receipts tax from 6 per cent to Ti per cent. These radical changes would appear to prove a hindrance to the game, but in- stead they will prove a boon and will tend to place the ring game on a higher plane. The increased tax will nfan the ex- termination of a number of fly-by-night clubs. At present there are thirty-nine clubs remaining of the original comple- ment of 141 that sprung up when the Frawley law went into effect in this state. Greedy managers and grasping club owners helped pare the large list, until now there are only a few undesirable clubs dotng business. Heretofore boxing in New York during the summer months has been practically dead. Not more than one or two clubs attempted to put on bouts during the torrid spell, and their expenses absorbed the receipts all the time. This last win- ter the boxing game In New York was bordering the moribund stage, as not more than three or four good bouts were arranged during the entire season. But under the mew order, boxing as- sumes & roseate hue, for at last New Yorkers are to have some real fightihg AQuring the summer months. Licensos freely granted to open -air clubs now in the process of formation make such a condition pomsible. Already the mew olubs sre bidding for patronage, and the press agents are dreaming of attractive matches for their respective clubs. Base ball parks and race courses are belng impressed by = enterprising pro- moters for their fight arenas. Syndicates havé been formed and first rank boXers pinced under contract for opening shows. And & strange coincidence is that each jusive right to ;1‘ first battle 'when he is ready to return to the ring.

PARADE T0 END AT PARK By FRANK QUIGLEY. Koys, there is only a few days left to boost the Sunday base ball bill You and uil the citizens of Omaha will bu called upon Tuesday to legalize Sun- day base ball in Omaha. It §s up to you to approve or reject this important issue. No doubt many of your friends that are not particularly inter- ested in base ball will pads up this tm- portant matter unless you tell them it is & matter of vital importance to you You are the ones that are interested, and now the time is ripe for you to do something to encourage the national pas- time. Get out and dig up votes for Sum- aay base ball and show the people of Omaha that the base ballists have some prestige. At the mass meeting held last woek all the managers promised to do all In their power to push this bill over the vire. The same night the Omaha Ama- teur assiciation held its\regular meeting ond President Issacson sald that he @idn’'t care to have the association go on record relative to the base ball gues- tion unless It was necessary, because he Was afraid that the candidates would think that the assoclation was endeavor- ing to edge into politics. There s not & local base ball organiza- tion In the city”that hes endorsed any 0f the candidates and they don't intend to. This mass meeting was open to any- body that cared to say a few words fn the interest of amateur base ball and the question at hand. Only two candi- dates showed up, namely, James Dahl- man and Joseph Hummel. These two men stmply told what they had done for the local base ball teams and they didn't talk polities. They didn't beg for sup- rort at the ensuing election. ‘They%only @amne as men interested In outdoor sports and spoke along the same lines as Preat- dont Rourke of the Omaha club and Marty Krug, manager of the Omaha club, Association Meets, The association held its meeting prior to the mass meeting.

Cathartics, parges, bowel movers and lax- atives won't do. No amount of bhile will destroy certaln germs witich cause blood and skin eruptions. They are away down deep in the tissues, perhaps in the very marrow of the bones. And such a condition calls for the searching (nfluence of 8, 8. 8.
