PUGILiSM.

Nothing better de monstrates that
puglllsm needs regulating than the
killing of Mccarthy at Sacramento
by young Critic. His death resulted
from I'M uries received in a prizefght.
There is a law against prize-fght-
ing III California, yet there isa fight
OF some sort in that State about once
a week or oftener. In Nevada there
is a statute legalizing AID regulating
prize lighting and there has not been
a blow struck in a ring in this State
tor over a year.
When the bill was introduced, the
moral but mistaken element in this
State, made a strenuous endeavor + q
prevent Its passage, unable to realize
until 1t was practically demonstrated
that the high license in the bill would
almost do away with pugilism in this
State.
The Nevada law requires 4 medical
examination of the principles Just
prior to entering the ring; with such A
law on the statute books of California
there would have been no fight be-
twee Mccarthy and Critic in Sacra-
mento, for the physician would have
stopped it.
