; NATIONAL SPORTS ALLIANCE NOW FORMALLY ORGANIZED HER NEW BOXING U NION PLANS TO AFFILIATE WITH AF. OF L Rumors That Body Was Being Formed for Purpose of Boycot- ting Tex Rickard and Leo P. Flynn of Garden Put to Rest as Latter Is Elected Member of Board of Directors, With Billy Gibson as President. + By Alex Sullivan. ICTURE this if you will: Two lads boxing for the oham- Pionship of the world; the club where the battle is held being crowded to the doors with exoited fans who have paid any- where from §2 to $15 to the bout; the boxers engaged in a spirited swapping of punches, with one or the other in danger of being knocked out, when sud- denly a whistle blows and the men stop boxing and Jump out of the ring! Such a situation is possible if the plans of the National Sports Alliance, about which so much has been writ- ten and which was formall yorganized at @ well-attended meeting at the Lexington Theatre yesterday after- noon, don't go astray, as it is the in- tention of the now body to become affillated with the American Federa~ tion of Labor. Of course a labor union has its walking delegates and the like who have the power to call out any of its members whenever they see fit. Supposing the ring in which the men box is built by non-union help, it is not unlikely that members of the boxers’ union would be ordered ¢o stop fighting. ‘And how about non-union fans, will they be allowed to see fights? But ail this is delving too far in the future. There are great possibilities in the organization that was put on its feet yesterday largely through the efforts of Senator Jimmy Walker, whose herculean efforts were largely responsible for the putting through of the present fifteen rounds to a decision boxing law. Walker dearly loves the sport, and he wants to put it on such a high plane that it will be forever beyond the pale of some white-blooded notoriety seekers try- ing to have laws passed against it. Since the war, largely because of the great interest taken by the Gov- ernment in the sport, it being one of the features of camp life all over the country and providing entertainment for the boys who were fighting or ready to fight abroad, the sport has jumped to the front in leaps and pounds. So popular has it become that universities all over the country Two twelve-round bouts and one of ten rounds are offered the fight fans by Manager Eddie McMahon for the reg- alar weekly boxing show of the Star Sporting Club of Harlem to-night. In the two feature contests Johrny Reis- ler meets Sol Scaman, and Jimmy Carroll takes on Sammy Vogel. In the ten-round scrap Eddie Lynch meets Larry Goldberg. Billy Gibson has fust signed up Benny Leonard for another fight His opponent in this scrap will be Tim Droney, the musky fighter of Pennsylvania. ‘They will clash in an elght round battle st the 1ce Paluce of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, Pink Diamond? | Who Murdered Ramsay | and Kidnapped ( Josephine Hall? Sem nem ee ema a ete ie Fistic News and Gossip are making it one of their major sports, It was rumored around town when the organization was proposed that it was being formed by disgruntled managers and boxers for the purpo! of boycotting the Garden because of Leo P. Flynn and Tex Rickard, but if there ever was any such intention, it was all knocked into @ cocked hatat yesterday's meeting, as Flynn was chosen one of the Board of Directors. Senator Walker, who acted as tem- porary chairman, pointed out that it was necessary for all hands to work in harmony if the game were to be elevated, and that no bickerings or the like should be tolerated. Keep the game clean,” was his ad- vice. For the present the National Sports Alliance is to be content furthering the interests of boxing and wrestling, but in the course of time basketball, bike racing, athletics and all sorts of professional sport will be governed. ‘The organization is national in scope and it is the hope to have every boxer, manager and fan in the coun- try a member, ‘The initiation fee is $10 and the yearly: dues tl? same amount, to be paid quarterly, so as to be within reach of the preliminary boy’s pocket- book. Only American citizens or those declaring their intention of be- coming citizens are eligible. No treasurer was chosen yester- day, as the members are awaiting the decision of a prominent business man who has been offered the posi- tion and which he is seriously con- sidering accepting. Billy Gibson — w: unanimously elected President and the following five Vice Presidents were selected: Jimmy Twyford of Brooklyn, Jake Carey of Rochester, Dan Morgan of Manhattan, Jack Lewis of Syracuse, Phil Bernstein of Manhattan and John Wek: mantel of Brooklyn. Charlie White is the permanent Secretary. He served in this capacity on the original Walker Boxing Commission. This is the Board of Directors elected: Charlie Harv Tddie Mead, Champion Renny Leonard, Lo- renzo Carlino, Bill Wellman, Dan. McKettrick and Leo Flynn. Tt is expected that the Advisory Board, which will include prominent fans, will be chosen at the meeting next Sunday, It is understood that Jimmy Walker will be the Chairman of this committee.
