lstio Club House. -
Tho New York Athletic Club held the first Of
series Of winter boxing tournaments
at the club house last night and It
would have been well nigh impossi-
BILE to have squeezed another hundred
spectators in the spacious gymnasium. 1t
is we'll known that the Athletic Committee Of
the club had vainly endeavored to secure anna
teur boxers. who would contest for prizes
prescribed by the rules. The amateurs"
were all after the money. however. and sooner
than be an accessory to violation Of the ANA
tour laws. the club decided TO have profess
sional boxers compete for purses Of $125. 500
to the winner and $50 to the loser. Last nights
show proved the step wise one.
The entertainment was not quite up to tho
expectations Of Mike Donovan and Dennis
Butler. who managed the affair. but 1t was far
superior to the average amateur show. and did
not cost any more money.
The Entertainment next month will include
the pick Of the professional talent. and 1t is
not unlikely that other clubs will follow in the
New York's footsteps on the out-and -out pro-
fesslonal question.
The officials OF the tournament were: Ref
cree. Maxey Moore; Judges. K W. Kearney
and James Motley; Timer. Roger Thompson:
