(The New York World) BY ROBERT EDGREN. * Gov. Dix bs not unalterably opposed to boxing, either as a pastime @ a3. sport. His desire to have the Frawley law repealed Is based upon the fact that he believes the law does not regulate boxing as It should be regulated. Many undesirable occurrences have marred the sport since the Frawley law went into effect. No law under which such things can happen should be allowed to remain on the statute books. 1 saw the Governor in his office at the State Capitol, There was a Mig reception room. All around on the dark panelled walls were full- length portraits of former Governors of the State, away back to the time of knee breeches and ruffles, The winter sun, through dim win- dows, threw thin streaks of light across the blood-red carpet. Near the emtrance were grouped uneasy, whispering politicians and gloomy look- ing people who had favors to ask and who apparently didn’t feel very wp the enutous ones. A few words, o ned, and one by one they filed out. My (erm came, ené I bad the Governer ef stese range ani chook his head. He gave me @ Joftries grip. Sothing of the “mefiyesééie” type about Gov.
