The most important business was the
report of the Boxing Championship Com
mittee which had the p. Cahill matter |
in charge. The committee handed in a
lengthy report, giving many facts in
connection with the trial of Cahill. The |
committee recommends that the board |
suspend Cahill until the gentlemen who
are thought to be Withholding the facts
in the case, by reason Of their desire to
shield Cahin can be induced to fully eX !
plain the statments which induced the
committee to regret Cahills entry for
the A. A. U. championship. The report
of the committee was accepted and
adopted as read by unanimous vote.
The result of this decision is that the
boxing committee Of the late championship
meeting have been sustained, and Cahill
is debarred from competing as an
amateur in any contests given under A,
! A. U. rules, and 1t really amounts to
disqualification, but gives to Cahill and
his club good chance to produce such
evidence that may enable the A. A. U.
board to give Cahill another trial. A let
ter from J. H. Regain of the S. A. A. Q.
was read by the chairman OF the com
mittee stating that the books wanted by
the committee so they could look up the
receipts of the Cahill- Robinson fight were
| lost.
