AN ORDER THAT CAUSES A GOOD DEAL OF TALK.
Police Superintendent Murray said to reporters at the
Central once yesterday that he wished to give warning

Dempsey and Maher and Corbett and Mitchell at the
Madison Square Garden. He added: "Prze-nghting In

expecting to take money Of the peoples pockets and
to break the regulations OF the city well. Will give
warning to also to the managers OF the Garden
the moment fighting noticed In the spalrhg the
police will make arrests"
There will be plenty OF policemen in tho Madison
Square Garden to enforce the Superntendents orders
Admirers OF pugism much cut up yesterday over
the action OF Mr.. Murray. The Mitchell-Cofbet night
was scheduled February H. and the Dempsey Maher
bals for January Il. The friends Of the pugs" were
loud I'm their condemnation last niTht OF Superintendent
urrays action and said that the police were discrm-
mating between amateurs and professionals. They de-
cared that the professional fights for scen
tc points only and they pointed the frequent knock-
ous aud OF blood at recent amateur boxing tour
naments and said that they could understand the
action OF the police.
Corbett was especially indignant and said that he did
not propose let Mitchell escape easily. He would
now do what he could induce Mitchell 10 accept tho
~ 600 purse offered by NewOrleans enthusiasts Some
OF the .pugs say lights at the Garden in
which Maher knocked two men In few minutes arc

say that Mitchell spite OF his bluster did not want TO
fight and they give credit for being clever enough 10
succeed in stopping the fight without showing his hand
