a” UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY > “TLIKE REAL BOXING; ONTHAVE BRUTALITY,” SULZER TELLS EDGREN Evening World Expert Gets First Expression on Ring Sport From Governor, Who Is Boxer, Ath- lete anc Mountain Climber. BY ROBERT EDGREN. 1 met Gov. Sulzer in the Executive Chamber at the Capitol. He ts a tall, broad-shouldered, leanly muscular man, straight as @ rifle barrel, with the clean-cut features of a trained athlete. The Governor stepped a little aside and stood under @ painting of Lafayette, who was, if history is to be believed, something of a fighter. Directly across the room was a full length portrait of George Washington, in his youth famous among the frontiersmen of the time for his prowess with both fist and rifle. At our right was one of Clinton, first Governor of the Mate, in knee breeches of the style once worn in ring affairs by John L. Sullivan, a large, husky gentleman who looked as if he could have swung fit or broadeword himself did the occasion call for action. Facing us from ahother wall was Theodore Roosevelt, done in oils, lifesize, seeming to lean out of the frame a little, jaw thrust forward aggressively and in the atti- tude of a man about to slip a left jab and throw a crashing right over to your chin. Taken all around, the stage setting for the interview was suggestive of the activities of manhood rather\than the mollycoddlism that some color Jess persons are trying to thrust upon us. GE IS FOR SPORT; AGAINST BRUTALITY. And I must add that there is nothing of the mollycoddle apparent tn the Governor's make-up. He looks like a rugged throw-back to the time of Andrew Jackson—to the days when men were men. No one would expect Gov. Sulzer to burst into tears and run away if some one hit him on the nose. Those equare-jawed men hit back, “Governor,” said I, having stowed his features away in my memory for the pictures, “I've come to get a talk with you about two things—bozing, be- cause that sport interests more people than any other, and athletics in gen- eral.” The Governor took two short steps and turned around, ready to shoot. He's a quick thinker. for the first,” he said, “I'm absolutely opposed to brutality and everything that {s against public morals. Information laid before me gives me an impression that our boxing matches may be nothing more or less than prizefights. It is said they are not boxing matches, but plain slugging matches, in which the object is not to outbox, but to injure. i “I will not stand for brutality in the name of sport. “I intend to make a careful investigation, and if it is true that under the present law our boxing matches are prizefights; if the promoters allow brutality and the general influence is against public morality—then I shal! use every effort to stop boxing in this State, and as eoon as possible.” LIKES BOXING AND IS NO NOVICE. “Governor,” said 1, “you may have seen some wildly exaggerated and untruthful accounts of boxing matches, written by people under instruc tions to get in plenty of blood and brutality, no matter what happens, Once those stories might have been justified by the facts, but the commission bas been getting these things under control, and has made great improve ments in the sport. Now, suppose you find boxing contests conducted as boxing contests, according to the intent of the law, would you still oppose | the sport?” No,” said Gov. Sulzer. “The supposes that th | try out their skill.
