Carson i'm Evidence ali Over the
United States.

Carson City is TO lay the best a'iver-
tized city in The American Union snd
all owing ID he recent Legislation on
glove contests. 1t will from this on
be advertised in every newspaper Of
the United States. Already the lead
ing dailies OF the country are printing
pictures OF it, and so it is that Nevada
is more 10 evidence now than any
State in the Union.
kilograms are pouring in from all
over the country asking for every pos
slble scrap OF Information about Ne
vada to be printed 10 the news papers
and it is nov a race between the
uews.gathering agencies Of the world
to see which can get the first and the
most news from the sage brush State.
The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following:
The general impression here among
sporting men is to the effect that the
adoption Of this law will not oIly
mean g great deal to the State Of Ne
vada from a inapci al standpoint, but
will go a great way toward cleansing
pugiiism. The nigh license which
the law calls for will prevent that
class Of sure-thing men known as
tinhorn gamblers from getting their
fingers in the pie. Men Of meaus
and good standing in the sporting
world will be the only persons able to
conduct contests under the provisions
Of this law, ard the so-ralled "clubs''
will not have a chance.
The Silver State will for at least a
number OF years to come be the para.
disc of pugilism. 1t is generally I'M
derstOod that Dan Stuart and others
running in the same class will make
their-head quarters there and devote
their attention to pulling off big
mills. The first will be the C0ftett-
FitZsimmon-, which will decide all
talk SO far as the heavy weights go.
Hall, Maher, Choynski and the other
light big men will also be in demand
SO far as the middle-weights are con-
cerned, there cannot be much doing,
as there are few really good men in
this class. But the welter-weight
championship will at last have a
chance to be settled. This will ill.,
volve bouts between George Green.
Tommy Ryan and Mckeever. Kid
Lavigne is ont 0. it. He has already
refused to meet Green.
Police Commissioner Nose Gunst
thinks the new law is a good thing.
LAS a matter OF fact" he said, Il have
paid 80 little attention to pugilism
and have thaken such little interest in
the sport since the last big fight that
l have not considered the question as
thoroughly as I would have done un-
der other circumstances. The big
fake between Sharkey and Fitz has
made me a bit sore on the sport.
This high license will keep these
cheap fakirs out Of the business. The
new law will put money into Nevada's
pocket"
Ned Holman, the veteran sport. did

age OF the bill. During Senator Boyles
last visit to the city Holman persuad-
ed him to vote for aud support the
measure.
This law will go a great way to-
ward cleansing the sport, 1t will Keep
out the cheap gang of sure-tbing men.
h we want is big matches on the
square. Then a man can get some
action for his money. If California
would adopt q measure Of this sort it
would be a great thing"
Sharkey is very much pleased with
the fate Of the bill. He says he will now
have a chance to show himself. Cha.
Williams, Pop Sullivan, Charlie
Bacon, Harry Corbett, Billy Jordan,
Jace Sullivan and a number Of other
well-known sports are all elated over
the passage Of the law.
