HE boxing men “had the punch” and got their win- ning decision at Albany, where the racing bill finished | eo badly and had to take the count. The signing of the Frawley bill by Gov. Dix legalizes slugging matches limited to ten rounds, and the State holde the| kitty, in fixing a tax of 5 per cent. on the gross re- ceipts. Of course, | vith such a practical intorest in the game it behooves the Stato to keep firm grip on its regulation. ‘To this end, the Governor has ap- | pointed three boxing commissioners of unimpeachable reputation, who | under the new lew can punish or terrorize any “fake or sham contest or exhibition” by the awful threat of taking away tho license of the elnb thet engineered tt. Probably this plan will sober the great fistic eport as effectually ee anything can short of a pronounced and discriminating public opin- | fen. There is really nothing to prevent a ten-round repetition here of the Johnson-Jeffries affair which last year helped to give Reno, en undesirable reputation—exoopt the lesson taught by the notorious | frame-up a few years ago, when even this easy, sport- loving community of ours sickened at tho scandals incident to public | ring contests and demanded the repeal of the Horton law. | Government regulation of this and all other professional sports tainted with gambling is the safe and sane thing, theoretically.

The same principle ought to work here. If it did not work here in the case of horse-racing—or, rather, if existing rece-track conditions were such as to prevent its being | tried in thet interest—the real reason is that gambling has hopelessly | degraded and unclessed what wee once a noble and {o some extent 8 genuinely popular eport.
