me i Some Judiciary Committee Mem- bers Neglected Their Duty by Sidestepping the Responsibil- ity of “Reporting Out” the Me- | Cue Boxing Bill. Coperigtt. 1918, by The Prem futiishing On (Toe New York Evening World), NUMBER of members of the Judiciary Committee side- stepped the responsibility of voting on the question of passing the McCue Boxing Bill out of committee for consideration by the House. If! @ few of #0 gentlemen had gone| down to © ton last week and had seen the boxing tournament held there for the brig championship, | they might have been a little ashamed | to avoid what the general public re- ards as their plain duty at this time N Europe the great war is going on day by day with vastly in- creasing desperation, Buccess in that war will go to the side that has the best men, for in the matter of guns there is little to choose. Several of our most intelligent gen- erals have publicly stated that they have found BOXING the BFST of all army training camp activities FOR THE PRODUCING OF FIGHTING] ABILITY AND FIGHTING 8 Tr. If this is the case, what possible | excuse can any lawmaker have at this} time for opposing the spread of box- ing through every State in the United Btates, so that FIGHTING ABILITY AND FIGHTING SPIRIT WILL B! DEVELOPED IN THE MEN WHO WILL BE CALLED UPON TO DE FEND THIS COUNTRY IN CASE OF NEpD! E reason why the English have done such great work on the battlefields of Europe is that they are NOT MOLLYCODDLES, such as our legislators would make us, England has boxing and has had Boxing, everywhere, for hundreds of years. If you go to the Derby, in England, You find several public boxing booths in the infield, where professional box- ers give exhibitions and offer small sums to outsiders who are able to meet them and stay a specified num- ber of rounds. In England the public echools have their annual boxing championships, and the schoolboys contest for cham- Pionships with as much courage and @etermination as is shown in any Professional match, while thelr par- ents and their friends look on, They are no milk-sop parents, either. They don't encourage their boys to avold a on the nose or a black eye and think of boxing as “brutal.” There are other things a thousand times more brutal than boxing— against which practice in boxing ts an efficient protection. In every city, town and village in England there are boxing clubs where amateur or professional bouts arc held. There are no absurd restric- tions, designed for the purpose of making It as ditfcult as possible to te boxing matches, gland every man is supposed to know something about ts in the ancient and honorab methods of self defense introduced by Many amateurs of the sport years ‘That, and the spirit that made such | @ condition possible, is what has Made England a fighting country, fit to have and held the respect of the world, using his | Lame Hou ‘Yo “GRIP Whig ‘vo THINK \T OVER, Boss Impressively.
