Walter Hooke - CHAIRMAN OF TH SIDE POLITICAL SCHEMING FORCES JOHNSON TO QUIT AS BOXING BOARD'S HEAD enn ie "Refusal of New York to Join Se'f-Constituted Organizers of Na- ~ tional Association to Govern Sport Regarded as Reason for Albany Measure to Reorganize Commission — Simpson-Brun- dage Bill With Joke Wrestling Feature Legislative Method of Amending Walker Law to Provide Four New Jobs in New “Un- salaried” Body. - By Vincent Treanor. RACTICALLY forced out of an office which he has filled with oredit to himself and the State, Joseph Johnson, Chairman of the Boxing Com- mission, has resigned. He has sent a courteous letter to Gov. Miller asking to be helieved of his duties, and as the Governor has made known his desire to reorganize the commission there is no doubt that the resignation will be gladly accepted. The work of Mr. John- gon in tackling the tough job of re-estwh- lishing boxing on a sound, businesslike and honest basis has not been appreciated in Albany, and under these conditions the Chairman evidently decided that he couldn't continue in office and maintain his self- respect. It ~ a “4 is not known whether or not Mr, fohnson’s resignation will be a forerunner of the retirement of the entire sion as it is at present constituted. Maybe Mr. Johnson feels that getting out may relieve Gov. Miller of the duty of supplanting the other and Edward Ditmar have as yet shown no inclination to resign and may be held over, but {f the Simpson-Brundage bill goes through they will have to serve as non-salaried members or submit to being reappointed as salaried deputies. The Simpson-Brundage measure @————— provides for three unsalaried Com- missioners AND FOUR DEPUTIES AT SALARIES OF $4,000 a year each, and unless the Governor's mind un- ide: a big change he will sign it. ‘The inclusion of wrestling’s regula- tion in the measure is a side issue and a joke. There is no doubt of the bill's passing, for Mr. Brundage told the! writer on Thursday last that any~ thing which carries the O. K. of the Speaker of the House would pass, no matter who liked it, No change is maée in the License Committee of the commission in the Simpson- Brundage bill, possibly because it is a non-salaried body. Lawrence Mc- Guire of this city is the local member wheels of the commission were suf- ficiently oiled to begin functioning and almost from the start: boxing pro- grossed under conditions heretofore thought impossible. Graft and poli- tics were eliminated much to the chagrin of not a few previously sociated with those particular angle as they have alwiys pertained to boxing. The sport was_made respect- able. People are now attending shows in open and above board fashion, who previously would not want their pres- ence known.

The Governor of New York made public staten to- er b r nt that he Is “op- Posed" to having the Carpentier- Petppacy, match held in New York State Funny thing about this is why the Governor should waste so much en- ergy “opposing” the holding of a bout that wasn't scheduled for New York, that never has been scheduled for New York, that Tex Riokard wouldn't under any cirouumstances hold 1n New York State, and that every one but the Governor of New York knows is to be held somewhere else, Just why a fine sporting event Tike the Carpentier-Dempsey match should be singled out for attack is a puzzl The yast majority of men in .New | York State are interested in boxing |approve of boxing and are espeqtally interested in the big match.
