“ —— American Boxing Association’s Efforts to Regulate Fights Provoke Discussion. Cupreigit, 1915. ty The Pree Publishing Co, (The Now York Evening World.) HO is the American Boxing As- sociation? “The American Boxing As- sociation? Why—er—why, it's the American Boxing Association.” “Twas Charley Harvey who gave ‘this illuminating answer to the ques- tion at the offices of the Boxing Com- mission at an unofficial talk following its regular meeting yesterday, It seems that the commission had Just read of how this American Box- ing Association at its meeting in Chi- ago had taken & upon itself to put certain boxers certain classes, whether or not the boxers liked it, For instance: “Tt was the sense of the pro- moters’ meeting that Ritchie, with Kid Graves, Mike O'Dowd, Soldier Bartflold, Packey McFar- fand, Jack Britton and Ted Lewis De clabsed as welterweights, In the eases bf Ritome, Britton and Lewis the promoters voted that these men will have to back up any glaims they might make as to their still being lightweights by Meeting all comers at the accept- a weight tn tliat class, “In the middleweight class the moters selected Young Ahearn, like Gibbons, Jeff Smith, Geo: on Jimmy Clabby and Ed Morn the new fiyweight division Frankie Izzo, Artie Armatron = and Jimmy Pappas were pick as the three likeliest lads. “Jack Dillon was avcorded the Joynny Kilbane squares himself wh the Wisconsin Boxing Com- will probably notice, as Chair- man Wenck did, that the Wostern Promulgators of fistic law and regu- Iation omitted the “middleweight” champion, Al McCoy, despite the fact ‘that he knocked out Chip. Neither did they mention Les Darcey, the Australian sensation, who recently ‘} knocked Eddie McGoorty cold. It ‘would be letting them down lightly to say that perhaps the omiasions ‘were due to an oversight, but the as- sociation, apparently composed of _ Wise dictators on things pugilistic, shouldn't allow themselves to be charged with such important breaks, ENERALLY viewed, the Ameri- can Boxing Association plan ‘was conceded to contain the germ of a good Idea, which might be developed along lines laid down by the parent Boxing Commission, that of New York State, It will doubtless be taken up in the near future along with other details looking toward a uniformity of everything pertaining sto the sport of boxing. The main idea of the New York commission is ‘to get “big men” interested and have @ confab along the lines of the base- ball league meetings which are held annually, NOTHER subject discussed, un- officially of course, by tho: Present dealt with that of box- ere suspended, by Western commis- sions and their status here. It was pointed out that the local commission has wonderful powers and might bar any boxers who had offended sum- ciently to be suspended elsewhere. Btih, as in the case of Johnny Kil- bane, suspended in Wisconsin, the commission has heard nothing official from the Western body. Kilbane might be able to explain himself out of any wrongdoing if called upon, and view of that the New York com- migsion could not in fairness prevent his earning money with his fists in local arenas. At this stage one wag butted in|’ with the remark that a burglar was « burglar, whether in Wisconsin, New York or any place vise, RITCHIE’S styling him- self American lightweight champion and getting money on the strength of it, when he con- ferses he is a welterweight, also brought out some lively chatter. Some of those present thought Ritchie should be told to drop the title, inas- p ooghed he can't defend it at weight, ‘ailing opinion, however, and } remember, was that tt might be hard to convince the pubhe that Ritchie wasn't entitled to his reed claims, short, it was tha: if Ritchie is clever eno to have i sesamiae as the “American it champion” and get away it, why, Net him 4 him do it.
