FIGHT AT YOUNGSTOWN.
No Time to Give Attention to Smaller
Events.

Columbus, O., Feb. 16.-Governor
Nash was asked for an expression in
regard to the prize fight between Jack
Bonner and Billy Menahan at Youngs-
town He says that he had first no
ticed the affair in the newspapers this
morning, being so busy with the Gin
cinnat affair that he had not time TO
give attention to smaller pugiIistic
events. He stated he considered the
Youngstown contest of the character
which he did not propose to permit if
he could help 1t. He had no doubt
that when he took the matter up with
the. mayors of the different cities an
understanding would be reached and
cooperation be arranged whereby all
such contests would be suppressed.
1t is the governors intention as soon
as he can find the time available to
prepare circular letter to the mayors
and probably to the sheriffs. calling
their attention to the decision of the
courts at Cincinnati and asking that
they assist him in preventing in the
future ne holding of prize fights at
any point in the state of Ohio. 1t is
probable t1at the letter will be pre-
pared ana forwarded some time next
week
