Marty McCue’s New Bill Will Be Framed to Help Boxing in the) U. S. Army Training Camps. Ceres Hoe ocd bvectne Wats ARTY M'CUB, New York As- semblyman, is working on @ new boxing bill, which will be Submitted to the Legislature in about ® month. The now bill will have ome features that did not appear in the Frawley Law. it is likely that it will provide for one Boxing Com- missioner instead of three, to cen- ffalize responsibility. The new bill will be framed to long boxing in the U. 8. Army train- Ee camps. One of Assemblyman ideas is to have every club ‘Ge license fee to the State, Sad to have a percentage of the gross receipts at each boxing show turned over to the Commission on Training Camp Activities to be used for pur- Chasing athletic supplies for army nd navy units raised in New York Btate. Marty McCue was a very well known professional poxer until shortly before he was first elected to the Assembly, in which he has held Piece t for over ten consecutive years. Those who have heard As- Bemblyman MoCue's speeches in wor of boxing freely admit that rains, and not brawn, put him ere he is. NB thing t# abnolutely neces- sary to the success of any Doxing law that may go on the Brew York statute books in tho fu- ture. No burglar should be pig to take charge of boxing affairs, @ burglar were appointed no doubt boxing would be blamed for it. ‘And, geo whiss! Haven't they flamed enough things on boxing as jt is?

If the rest of the World feels too weary to take part in @nother set of Olympic games within year of the ending of the war, we'll old it ourselves, right here in Amer- foa. Yes, and it will be one of the greatest athletic meets the world has N eminent English sporting au- r seen, for we will have a million @thietes to select our competitors from. More than a million, for be- @ides the great array of young men who will receive army athletic train- if we will have millions of school- 8 whose athletic competition has become an important part of their reparation for life's work—and fight- » if it comes to them.

OYS, he's in again! The oldest golfer in this country has arrived B here. He hasn't missed @ season on the local links in sixteen years. The name of this “young man” is Dwight N. Clark of Woodbridge, Conn., and when he celebrates his next birthday tn March he will be elghty-nine years, Mr, Clark was seventy when he first took up the ancient Scotch game. Hoe plays better now than he did ten years ago. Ho finished the first nine holes on the difficult No, 3 course in 46 toward the end of last season. Somo time ago he completed in 101 consecutive weekdays exactly 100 rounds of elghteen holes each, Most of the bad weather that happened during those particular four months occurred on Sundays, when Mr, Clark does not play, and on only two of the 101 weekdays was the weather bad enough to hold him down to a nine-hole round. Walter J. Travis once remarked that he knew of no other golfer of anywhere near Mr. Clark's years who could play eighteen holes, day in and day out, for any considerable number of days, and it would be inter- esting to hear from the golf statisticians as to whether the grand old player's record, either for the course or for continuous play, has ever been excelled or equaled by any other golfer of his age.
