tion Here, the Work of Na- tional Boxing Association. 8 Lawrence McGuire, Chairman of the Licepse Committee of the State Boxing Commission, anid: “Boxing has been talked to death in the past. Let there be leas talk and more action now.” Mr. MoGuire made this remark when requested for an tn- terview right after Gov. Smith ap- Dointed him to his honorary position om the boxing board created by the ‘Walker law. Nearly everybody agreed with Mr. McGuire at the time, but now it appears that if the good old fame is not to be talked to death as bas been before it is instead to be “regulated” to its demisa, wetc of rules adopted for the im @ goneral way very similar, but evidently there is just enough differ- ence between all three to warrant ‘their being printed in separate and distinct pamphlet form. To begin with we had the rules of the Army, Navy and Civilian Board originally in the Walker law, ‘They seemed good enough to govern “ny situation, but after the appoint- ment of the Boxing Commission these were revised and amended to suit those who had in their hands the ad- ministering of the law. Reprinted, ‘these made the second set of rules to Binet everybody imaginable from carriers to the promoters. came the attempt to form a National Boxing Association when representatives of seventeen dif- ferent States met here at the invita- tion of the International Sporting jw and talked themselves into an ganization which go far exists only ‘on paper with New York and Massa- ehusetts declining to join. The for- mation of the association automatt- cally abolished the Army, Navy, &c. Rody for some reason or other and in go doing it now seems to have be- @ome necessary to give the boxing rules a third going over. te @ neat little yellow book labelled “BOXING RULES adopted by the NATIONAL BOXING ASSOCIATION ef the UNITED STATHS.

Mille. Huggins is in great glee over the cou dition of hie pitching staff. He said he would send Bill Pier¢y and Ce¢ii Ferguson after the Cardinals, leaving Clifford and Doyle to work against Indianapolis at Crowley to-morrow, Carl Mays and Jack Quinn prob- ably will get their first taste of ac- tion at Baton Rouge on Friday, when Uncle Bobbie will line up his Dodgers against the Yanks. Maye, Quinn and Harper worked in the six inning practice game between the “Rup- perts” and the “Hustons” at Shreve- port yostertay, and despite a rather healthy score all showed enough “gbuff” to justify the assumption that they are ready for the fray, for the exhibition sort: anyhow. Quinn and Harper pitqhed Col, “Til" into a 9 to 9 te with Col, Jake —the first time the,jovial Vice Presi - dent of the club has been able to get even a stalemate with his partner. Babe Ruth, for the “Rupperts,” failed to get his customary home runs, but managed a double, a single and & safe bunt out of four trips to the plate. Fewster got the home run for Babe—before Quinn got fairly warmed in the first inning. “Piaya and Ledbetter, the latter a brecruit from the South Atlantio Leagwe, worked in the box for the to in at be bu H wi wa th ceeded in making their winning rec- ord twenty-two straight. when the quintet defeated the Bronx Owls in @ recent game at Public School No. 61 court, Bronx, by 22 to 20, Klein and Rosenthal featured for the win- ners.

LTHOUGH Champion Johnoy A Wilson says Mike O'Dowd is the one man in all the world he éan whip any old time, Mike is as! free from worry as a Georgia darkey driving a watermelon wagon. I saw Mike's dally workout at Billy Grupp's gymnasium yesterday afternoon. It was my first glimpse of Mike in sey- eral weeks. Like many others, I had heard the rumor that Mike wasn’t taking any more care of himself than was necessary to dodge the town constable over tn Brooklyn, where Mike has been hanging bis hat this winter. But the first glimpse of Mike made that rumor go up the chimney with the smoke. IY Mike isn’t in con- dition the Statue of Liberty carries a crutch.

Mike grinned all through, A crack on the nose is mild entertain- ment for him. He didn’t block a blow, but just leaned in and went forward and uccasionally cuffed De- sun woout He was dripping like a humitn shower bath at the end of that bout. Although Mike seems not to have a pound of fat on him, he Pence enally: and goplously, which is & good sign in a fighter two days before a battle. i ve His next two rounds were with Farmer Sullivan of Greenwich Vil- lage, & husky youngster who pounded Mike until he grew urm weary while jheels. Mike perspired off a couple} of pounds here, eplattering the floor) He wore a coarse, heavy red sweater, with, sleeves that came dow over his wrists, a full suit of black woollen tights and boxing shoes. When Mike stopped skipping and began pulling 4 black leather padded headgear over} his nobby dome I ventured to ask tim! how he regarded his prospects. Mike grinned until his eyes shut ight and his handsome features srinkled into as many leathery wrinkles as decorate a sharkskin bag Why said Mike “Chis is where the title comes right home to whgre it belongs.
