At Home and Is Willing To Pay $300,000 For It Why Should Big Leaguers Object? Asks Billy Gibson, in Giving Reason Why the Game Should Flourish Above the Harlem As Well as in Brooklyn—Cites Growth of Theatrical Business in Borough Within a Short Period.

BUT WHAT As FOOLISH WASTE OF GOOD MATERIAL! IN EVERY ARMY CANTONMENT IN THE COUNTRY THERE 18 A GREAT DEMAND FOR MOVING PICTURES OF BOXING BOUTS, THESE ARE t STUDIED BY THE SOLDIERS WHO ARP LEARNING HOW TO BOX, AND ARE A GRHAT HELP. As a country we are spending billions on perfecting our fighting machine. And yet something that we could make splendid use of tn that work 4s destroyed. The anti-fight-picture Jaw should be changed to give our soldiers whatever benefit they can @ain through secing all the moving pictures of boxing matches ever taken and now available, ‘The reason for that law passed long ago. It was proposed and put through at the time of the Flynn-Johnson fight at Las t Veg: There were rumors that the t fight was to be a fake, run for mov- ing picture purposes, and that John- fon was to be “knocked out’ by Flynn to make tho pictures valuable. This furnished part of the argument ig favor of the anti-tight-picture bill, Dut it was also urged that if John- son knocked out Flynn the exhibition of moving pictures of the fight would ‘ cause disturbances such as followed the Reno affair. President of the side of the Harlem River, What is most wanted at present is @ franchise in the International League and permission from organ- ized baseball to establish a team in the Bronx, which is within the terrl- torial rights of both the Giants and Yankees, The Bronx has been nursing its ambition of possessing a team for many years, Within the last few years there have been rapid develop- ments in this direction, Billy Gibson became busy and rounded up the nec- essary people who would put their shoulder to the project. Yesterday thero called on Harry N, Hempstead, ants club, a dele- gation of Bronx leaders, Cyrus C. Miller, former Borough President; Olin J. Stevens, the millionaire coal man, and a few others, The visitors politely but firmly told Mr. Hemp- stead they wanted his consent to go ahead with their plan, Giants’ President advised the tion to first secure a franchise the International League, then seek permission from the Nattonal Baseball Commission, which deter. mined territorial privileges, Bronx storming party then doubled back on {ts trafl and prepared to ry the next trenc National cople up here and foon will have a million, We can ale draw from Yonkers, White Plains and T iw reported from Albany that the|other nearby points.

There was a warning shout from well meaning friends when others were under construction, yet they are all doing well?” The Hustling Wiltam switched his attention to baseball. He recalled how Brooklyn years ago made a success ot its club and there was not the popula- tion to draw from that the Bronx how has. Gibson also pointed out the unfairness of the rule of organized baseball that a club can not approach within five miles of the city limits in which & team 1s already established, “At that rate,” argues Gibson, "wo would have to go almost to the State ino, because New York Cityyreaches up to New Rochelle. Thero won't be any need of doing that, however, Our club would not burt the Polo Groun¢s business. A team in the Bronx would educate fans for the Glants and Yan- kees.
