1 Gite Due to Re-Open' on Tuesday What Good Has Vacation Done Mitt Game? Com- mission Must Work Fast By LEO H. LASS SE by papers” the or so layoff, enforced by the Seattle boxing com- mission, the mitt game is a to be opened up again to-} morrow mom with Clay Hite staging a smoker at the Pavilion. At the last smoker given in Seattle Dr. Kelton, chairman of the ring commission, made his now famous speech for the benefit of The Star, which we tried to answer, and we answer moved the Doctor to send us a few words in writing, We gath- ered that all was not sweet ifr Den: mark as far as the ring game was concerned. We also tried to answer that. Friday night the writer was in- formed by Clay Hite that he had tween granted a permit by the com- mission, and that he would stage @ show Tuesday night. But so far The Star has received no information from the commission as to what they have done to “clean up the game” in Seatue. THE REAL TROUBLE IN A NUTSHELL ° ‘The irregularities pointed out by rei E i i g : z to pay the commission a tax of 5 per cent of their gross receipts. HALF OF PROMOTERS OBJECT Four firms of promoters attended this meeting. Clay Hite, whose prop. osition had been accepted, did not let out any kicks when the resolutions were read. Neither did the represen tative of the Cascade A. C., a new firm of promoters breaking into the game then, But Austin & Salt and Nate Druziman, who were promot. ing shows before the other clubs were formed, both objected, claiming that they were given to understand that a company was to be formed and all promoters were to share and share alike. They also objected to the commission tax. Knowing this, the commission | went ahead and signed a con- @act with Hite, guaranteeing that all mitt shows were to be held at the Pavilion for a period of SA.weeks. Going on this con: | tract Hite sunk a lot of money into the Pavilion, and he must | stage a show there on the aver: | age of once a week to realize his rent. { i rctenentanremennteaptnsipaoneen The commission had no right under the sun to put itself under such ob- ligations to any one firm of promoters. And it had no right to levy a tax of 5 per cent. If the promot- ers couldn’t id build- ings to stage their shows in that should have been their worry, not the com- mission’s. AUSTIN & SALT TURNED DOWN The commission has turned down Austin & Salt’s request tor to stage shows in any than in the Pavilion, Under the con ditions that the commission arrived at their agreement with Clay Hite they have no right to demand that Austin & Salt and Nate Druximan stage their shows in the Pavilion or not at all, other pl COMMISSION BUNGLED The commission faces a tough job trying to straighten up the tangle they are now in because they have given their word to Hite that all hows are to be staged in the Pavil jon for a period of 52 weeks, and yet they have no right in the world to turn down other promoters when they ask for permits to age shows elsewhere. The trouble with the whole agreement was that there was & misunderstanding, and such being the case, the commission bungled that) after a wetk} permit | With the Camera Man at The Star Swimming Mest} The top picture shows the start of the 50-yard dash for girls under 16 years of age.
