To Abolish Boxing MatcheA


"A movement has been started in the ranks Of
the Amateur Athletic Union to abolish boxing
from the list of sports controlled by the union.
1t Is claimed that the union has suffered more
discredit than fame from its patronage of ANA
teur boxers and sparring matches The evil
has not yet been felt in Washington, but has
been III the eastern cities. At the last annual
meeting OF the Metropolitan division of the
union Mr.. c. T. Mathewson, then q delegate
from the Berkeley Athletic Club, startled the
representatives of the smaller clubs by o mo-
ton that the Metropolitan's delegates to the
central body of the A. A. U. be instructed to
recommend that boxing be eliminated from
the list of sports over which the A. A. U. claim
jurisdiction. After recovering from the shock
the delegates promptly buried the suggestion.
The New England division of the A. A. U. has
put itself on record as favoring the reform, and
1t Is believed that the Metropolitan will follow.
The New York SOaa an earnest advocate of the
move SAYS:
"Ihe result of such elimination would place
the amateur boxer where he belonged-in
the professional ranks. With the protection Of
the Amateur Athletic Union withdrawn the
police would treat him as the genuine article.
boxers ASSOCIATION could be formed, which
would be greatly beneficial in one way, to wit,
Kidding the Metropolitan Association of num-
Der of very undesirable members, clubs which
joined for obvious reasons and care little for
the welfare and Advancement of amateur ath-
letic sport. With the amateur boxing bugaboo
removed and the board of managers reduced
to A. q. Mills original fifteen-represent-
atives OF genuine athletic clubs-the Metro
politan Association would sail in clear, un-
troubled waters"

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.

The success of the Republican League Con-
vention which meets at Rochester to-day seems
to be guaranteed in advance. 1t is believed
that 1900 delegates representing about 700
clubs. will be present and of their zeal and
loyalty in the service of the party there Is no
doubt whatever. This great organization de-
serves the respect of all good citizens whatever
their political affiliations may be. IL was
called into existence by patriotic impulse
1t is composed in great part of young men. Its
members take an elevated view OF the obliga-
tons Of citizenship. They recognize the duty
of cultivating and manifesting strong and
constant interest in public affairs, and of max
ing their convictions influential in the COM
munites to which they belong. They are not
animated by selfish ambitions, but intent only
upon promoting those political principles and
practices upon which they believe the common
welfare depends. They possess the mental and
physical vig0r Of young manhood, and they are
eager to apply it for the public advantage.
1t is encouraging and in every way gratifying
to find so powerful force enlisted in politics
from the best motives. We rejoice that it is
enlisted on what we believe to be the right
side: but. as we have said, the spirit which
spect of all good citizens of all parties.
The enthusiasm which will be kindled at
Rochester will be fruitful throughout the cam
paign. making itself felt all over the State and
encouraging activity beyond our borders. If
there is danger of over confidence among Re-
publicans the energetic and determined efforts
of the Republican clubs will diminish it. Their
zeal will be contagious, and it will last. They
will supply an element which without them
might be lacking. Their members are not
ashamed of enthusiasm nor afraid OF hard
work. They believe that they are engaged in
an undertaking of the first importance, and are
eager to accept their full share of response
bility for the result. The supremacy Of Re-
publican policies is not small matter in their
view, but essential to National prosperity. They
will renew their devotion to the cause at Roch-
ester and they will give good account OF
themselves from now until November.

dice. They pretend to take their chances IN
q coalition for mutual advantage. But they
know that nobody except Mr.. Cleveland can
oct any benefit, from il if it should succeed. be-
cause throwing the election into the House
would mean his election. Former Republicans
and Greenbackers alike who are hostile to Mr..
Cleveland's financial ideas, are to be used as
catspaws for his election, it Democratic pon-
ticans are able. There arc seven or eight
Western States, according to current reports,
In which a fusion of all other parties would
represent a small nominal plurality over the
Republicans. But it would be well for the
fusionists TO consider whether they can hold in
such barter three-quarters of their nominal
voters. and next how their bargain will affect
their candidate in other States, like New \ oril
and Connecticut.
