But if it does, | ‘that decision will not be hastened by @ny real doubt of the legality of the ‘original ruling against “mixed bouts” by the former commission. As I hi Said in this column, no matter what ‘the legal aspect of the question the Sport hasn't suffered because “mixed bouts” were prohibited. Usually the after effect of these bouts has been istasteful. On some occasions the Tacg feeling developed by them has Teulted in trouble outside the ring, Although in this city no such affair as ever risen to the magnitude of “rioting.” Frank 8. O'Noi!, former Commis- sioner, has written me a letter that clearly explains the position of tho eriginal commission when it ruled against “mixed bouts.” Here is Mr. O'Net'’s letter: Jan. 18, 1916, Mr, Robert Edgren, Sporting Editor The vening World, City. Dear Bob: I am inclosing you a copy of ike socoud annual report of the State Avhletic Commission, was transmitted to the ure April 26, 1918, and call attention to rule 84, of part which je as fuliows “Contests between negroes and white persons, otherwise known a mixed bouts, aro strictly pro- This rule was passed early in romulgated LCE of to was submitted to ‘Thomas Carmody, Attorney Gen- eral of the State of New York, “nd on Sept. 19, 191%, he ruled in ‘substance that th ro “wer | ee a white person and a coloreu = fon, but It should not arbitrarily i against all such Bouts by reason of the color of the contestants, In his opinion he Gays: “The prevent disorder, offenses against and saferuard and rules brutality and Public decency Advance the art of boxing.” The enactment of the rule was ’ ever aimed at Jack Johnson, During 1912 a match was Proposed sbetween Jeanette and Johnson, to Staged at the St. Nicholas in this city.

It was not a chance blow at the finish to Ahearn, but a deliberate punch sent over after plans carefully drawn. Mekeotrick had nothing to say after the fight, other than in his opinion Gibbons is the world’s greatest mid- dieweight. Ahearn was first to enter the ring. He was seconded by Manager Dan MeKetrick, Fireman Jim Flynn and Mel Coogan, He was closely followed in the ring by Mike Gibbons. Ahea: was given a big reception, but wh: Gibbons appeared the house went wild. The middleweights had agreed to weigh in at 158 pounds or under, ring side, and a scale was placed in the ring. Ahearn was tirst to mount the sealo platform, and he weighed 154%. Gibbons tipped the beam at 155%. Gibbons wa conded by his brother Tom, Sapp McKenna, one of bis pro- teges, and Ed Bell. “Jack McGuigan of Philadelpaia, who manages National Sporting Club of that city refereed the bout.
