New York Eox ng Law.
Albany, Jan. CT shall not introduce
an amendment to the law that permits
boxing to be carried on in a lawful man
ner before regularly Incorporated ath-
letic clubs" said Asssmblyman George
Horton last night. IN drafting that law
last winter / gave it my most careful
attention. and believe that ii has done
more than all previous laws to make
boxing a reputable sport. The fact that
a man in New York was badly hurt or
killed is not the legislatures lookout.
The law is drawn SO as to prevent prize
or finish fights, and If the police authori-
ties enforce il there will be no trouble"
II is possible that Senator Ford or
Senator Pavey may try to amend the
bill to entirely forbid professional box
Ing exhibitions.
