' \ Rather Than Kill Off a Perfectly| Good Sport Through No Fault of Its Own, Gov. Whitman) Should Appoint as Chairman of the Boxing Commission a Man Who Has the Full Con- ' fidence of the Public. 1917, ‘The Prem Pydiishing Co, mms, Rew Yorr terenine Work OV. WHITMAN has come out in favor of repealing the Frawley Law and stopping boxing in the State of New York. ‘Tke true objection to the most popu- Jar of all sports is not the sport itself, Hundreds of thousands of people are interested in boxing. It is a sport that interests all men, of every class, The thing that may kill boxing now fg the thing that killed the Horton Law—a public belief that the game has rot been honestly conducted. No game can live through that ‘would be fatal to any sport, amateur or professional, Without making any comment whatever upon the truth or untruth of the charges against Commissioner Wenck, there was a feeling when he was made Chairman of the Commis- sion that his appointment was a Kteat mistake, and might result in “killing the game.” Unfortunately Wenck's actions have not been entirely in ac- cordance with the dignity of the office he holds. He was not the kind of 4 man who should have been appointed Boxing Commissioner, 0 the present opposition to boxing can be traced right back to the Governor's poor If the Governor had appointed a man whe had the absolute confidence of the public and who would have “made good” by strictly enforcing the provis- ions of the Frawley law in every detail, boxing would be regarded to-day as one of the most respectable as well as most interesting of sports. It $ for the other two members of the commission, I've never heard a word against either of them. They are excellent officials. ‘The great number of people in New York State who are interested in box~ ing would appreciate it if Gov. Whit- man would appoint a Chairman of the State Athletic Commission who would h the full confid of the public. ‘This would be much better than killing off a perfectly good sport for no fault of its own, | HE Lawn Tennis Association has at least one good paragraph in | the new rules that will come up for consideration Friday, It reads: | “There shall be a tribunal to inter- pret the amatevr rule and apply it in each individual case.” Good enough. It may very} well to say that a tennis player capl- talizen his reputation and becomes a | professional when he deals in sporting | goods, But it's quite conceivable that | a@ player might get into the sporting | goods trade without profiting in the| least as @ tepnis player. Why should | ery youngster who happens to find & business opening In selling sporting goods be barred from participation in a wane that ho p ly for sport, | not for profit? hit be elain that a tennis who writes sport, for a salary, profits by ! nection with the sport. But i frequently untrue, and the thn he takes to play tennis is a handicay to him in his writing. Tennis, inbtead of bringing him mosey because he ocea- sionally writes something about it, may be costing him much me cause he devotes time to 1 be all he might be grinding out copy at so much per column A tribunal with the power to apply the amateur rule—to fit it carefully to each case—should come pretty near | to acting with a fairness that is iin-| possible under any hard and fast rule, no matter how carefully we Mike Gibbons says he has no intention whatever of “quitting the fight game.” When did Mike take it up? | MATEUR ATHLBSTE stipulated! as avpart of bis “expenses” on a trip to New York that he must be provided with tickets to a number of “shows.” And they want to| make him a professional for that!
