As a result OF the McGovern-"Young

leading newspapers have raised protest
against prize lghting I'm Connecticut IL
is represented that the Corbett-McGo
tight was disgrace to Connecticut.

at the fight. attending IL with the Rev.
Harold Pattison OF tho First Baptist
church OF Hartford, at the request OF
the Law and Order league OF Connecticut.
Two detectives of the league who were
at the fight will make their report 10
Samuel Il. Thrasher, secretary OF the
league, on their Impressions as 10 the bru-
talty OF the contest.
Colonel Jewell and Pastor Pattison were
I'm ringside seats. Colonel Jewell says
that IL was brutal affair. Hs and the
clergyman sat near Jim Corbett and Bob
fitzsimmons and they have no desire TO
sec another fight.
IL was the first fight Colonel Jewell ever
saw lie said IL was a good looking
crowd, and he was particularly pleased at
tho courtesy shown TO himself and his
clergyman friend by tho sporting eie-
luent He said he only heard one oath
uttered. lie praised the management of
the affair. but added that he would do
all In his power TO prevent such exhibi-
lions. because he believes they are de-
grading as well as brutal.

relating TO prize fights and boxing exhi-
bitions.
