tennis court is improving every day. the chemicals
are coming out of the cement and the floor is
turning darker color. 1t will be interesting to

THE HORTON LAW IN DANGER.
ITS REPEAL WOULD PLEASE DECENT PEG
PIE, BUT 1T WOULD CRIPPLE
THE DRAMA


There one paragraph in Governor Roose-
velts message which fell like a thundercap upon
the heads OF some people in the lower part of the
sporting world The prizefghting nuisance has
to alarming degree in this State under the
provisions of the Horton law. and lawabding
citizens trust that the will be repealed and
repealed Immediately 1t is recognized that certain
Tammany Hall politicians will oppose any changes
in the measure, but 1t is believed that common de-
cency must prevail in the end Mushroom clubs
with no financial or social prestige have sprung up
in every direction, and prizefghts have been of
almost daily occurrence The police have seldom
terfered, except in a few cases. where the law
openly defed that they compelled to
interfere in common decency.
The public, which has been fooled constantly
by the professional promoters. has no sympathy TO
waste upon such fellows. The practice Of
announcing fictitious purses OF many thou
sand dollars has Disguised everybody. There
is longer any sporting end to the game.
Now it Is simply disgusting brutal exhibition, Of
fered to the general public at so much a head
If the public patronizes the show, then the fight
ers get, possibly. what has been offered to them.
II the money does not come in at the gate. then
the punching machines take what they get
and are thankful. Every public spirited will
applaud the action of Governor Roosevelt.
1t will be terrible blow to dramatic art II the
Horton law is repealed 1t will leave the stage to

sportsmanke Horton law is repealed and the State
Is thrown back upon the mercy of nothing but
plain law and the decency which prevails pretty
much everywhere in the United States except In
NeW-York and California? 1t is a long way to
California, and NEWCOMERS do not like to go
there to see fight more than once in so often,
though they will cheerfully turn their pockets in

in California will cause the crowd to hurrah when
