AMES IS INDIGNANT.
Mayor Ames is highly indignant at the
action of the chief executive, whose ac.
tlon, he believes is wholly uncalled for
and in the nature Of a personal insult.
Words cannot express "the doctor's''
feelings. He is thoroughly disgusted
with the step taken by the governor and
says so in emphatic English.
1T is perfectly outrageous" says the
mayor; perfectly absurd; utterly fool
ish; disgusting.''
Now that the governor and the attoF-
ney general have declared that there
shall be no exhibitions, such as was pro-
posed to have taken place tonight the
mayor declares that he will stop sports
of all kinds where life or limb are put
in jeopardy
''I am going to take a hand at inter<1
preting and enforcing the laws of this
state from now on said the mayor last
night, after the governors communica-
tion had been received. Hereafter there
will be no football games baseball
games, athletic contests at the Y. NJ c.
A. and the like. 1 am going to be the
sole judge in these games and I am go
ing to put a stop to them. There is
to be no discrimination on my part"
SPORTS HEAR THE NEWS.
Soon after the mayor had written his
reply officers were detailed to round up.
Boyd Frazier, the manager of the Ex%'
position Athletic club, and the principals
who were to have taken part in the bat+I
ties tonight. IN a half hour in they
came with the stocky little manager at
the head. There were twenty in the
party, including Fighters Forbes, Rauch,
Yanger, Cody, OKeefe and their mana-
gers, seconds and trainers The mayor
greeted them cordially.
Come in, boys; sit down. make your.
selves at home" said his honor "Off1cers
get some more chairs. I'm sorry I
haven't got cigars here. Wait min
ute and I'll send out for some" The
formidable pugilistic array was at once
put at ease, and the CHEEKY mayor re-
moved in part the clouds of disappoint-L
ment that lowered over the fighters and
the willing hands who accompanied
them.
Then the communications from the
governor, the attorney generals opinion
and the mayors reply were read to the
crowd which was all ears.
We'll, that's fine business" said Man>
ager Frazier It's a wonder he wouldn't
have got that hunch about eight weeks
ago Everything was favorable then"
well, you see how ] am fixed, boys,"i
said the mayor MY hands are tI2a
love sport as we'll as any of you I had
been planning to see the fun tomorrow
night. I had invited the governor to sit |
beside me, but he, evidently, dees-not
appreciate a good thing"
Then there was an informal reception
in which the fighters, trainers, managers
ct al, took a prominent part. 1t was
Vcritaole love feast and the men who
are handy with their nitts We're thor
oughly convinced that the mayor was a
good fellow. Harry Forbes thought that
a vote of thanks was due the mayor, and
every one else in the room was OF the
same opinion
Manager Frazier asked the mayor If
he thought it would do any good TO in
terccde with the governor. The mayor
was not very encouraging, but told Mr..
Frazier to take his terrible men down
and show them to the governor.
WILL CALL ON GOVERNOR.
Boyd Frazier was of the opinion last
night that Gov Van SAINT had been mis-
Informed as to the nature of the pro-
posed carnival. "I am going over to
see him in the morning and explain the
whole affair to him." he said. II am
sure he will give his permission If he
knows that it is not to be Il prize fight.
Soft gloves are to be used and the fights
arc only for six rounds 1t was never
the intention to have so-called prize
fight 1 am sure the governor will be
ready to listen to reason. If he consents
We will have the exhibit on Tuesday
night We have gone to a great expense
in this affair and l think an injustice has
be ell done us. 4
