PUGILISTS MUST FIND
OTHER BATTLE GROUNDS
Deputy Attorney General Richards Says That
Boxing Bouts are illegal and
Must be Stopped
WILL ABIDE. BY THE DECISION

Pursuant to an opinion given by Dep
uty Attorney General Robert ii. Rich
ards prize fights or boxing bouts will
not be permitted to come off i'll this city
hereafter. Mr.. richards has decided af
ter an investigation of the law OH the
subject that they are illegal and that
those that have taken place for some
time were conducted contrary to law.
Two bouts were to have been held in
the Pyle Cycle Academy this evening
under the auspices of the Wilmington
Athletic Club. There was to be pre-
liminary bout between Harry Perry and
Joe Grim of Philadelphia, and the wind
mp was to have been n fifteen round go
between Jack Bonner and Joe Walcott
But the fights will not come off as
Walter Il. Matthews, president of the
Wilmington Athletic Club, was notified
yesterday by Chief of Police Massey Of
the decision OF the authorities. When
so informed Mr.. Matthews assured Chief
Massey that no attempt would he made
to hold the fights, and when asked about
the matter later made the same state
ment and added that as to the future
he believed the decision OF the authorities
to he permanent.
This action was decided upon after the
fight between Charles MtKeever and
Jack Bennett took place several weeks
ago. On that occasion Deputy Attorney
General Richards. City Solicitor Rein
hardt and Chief of Police Massey were
interested spectators Of the bouts. Their
presence caused considerable conStcrna-
tion among the sporting element.
Previous to this time number of COM
The sun., 1901-11-15

plaints had been received from promi-
nrnt people of the city about the fights
taking place and it was due to this that
an investigation was decided upon and
that the officials mentioned went in
person to see the bouts.
The law states that it is Illegal to hold
prize fights and provides for the imposi-
lion OF fine of $500 and not less than
one years Imprisonment nor more than
ten years upon anyone convicted of hold
ing money MS n prize or anything bet
or wagcred on a fight. While, SO FAR as
is known, the authorities did not find
that the bouts held in this city were
conducted under such conditions they
came to the conclusion that the boxers
did not come here for nothing and so
decided to stop the fights.
In 1895 Robert G. Harman, who at that
time was city solicitor, was called upon
for an Interpretation of the law regard
ing prize. fights the question being raised
on account of II benefit bout that was to
take place at that time. Mr.. Harman
hold that the law did not apply as the
bout was not to be a prize fight.
Again in 1895 Peter l.. Cooper, then
deputy attorney general, called the Mt
trntion of Chief of Police Dolan to the
law and Informed him that no more fights
must he permitted to take place. Moth
ing was done then, however, and the
matter has drifted along until the present
time.
Much interest was taken in the fights
in Philadelphia and hundreds of men
from there always visited this city to
sec the bouts.

GUNNERS WITH DOGS
AND GUNS AFTER GAME
Slaughter of Rabbits and Quail in Delaware
Starts Today--SuccessfuI Sea-
son Promised.
SOME POINTS ABOUT THE GAME LAWS.

At the first break Of dawn this morn
ing there will be banging of guns from
one end of the State to the other. 1t
will mean that the season is open for
shotting of rabbits and quail. From the
present indications they will have a
hard time. Most of the gunners seem
to have special design on the cotton tail
and the fleet footed little animal will
have n hard time of it now for about
Il month. For several weeks the sports
men have been preparing for the event
and yesterday everything was in readi-
ness.
Many local gnnners went down the
State yesterday afternoon to be in readi-
| ness for the opening of the cunning
season this morning. Reports from all
over the State say that game Of all kinds
is plentiful. The wosds are said to bf
! full of cotton tails and in the thickcts
partridges are plentiful.
Farmers say that in addition to the
old birds are many coveys of young
ones, which are frequently seen lowering
about the underground.
Many sportsmen think that the dry
weather will greatly handicap the dogs
| in following trails. Residents of Penn
Sylvania and New Jersey are procur
ing licenses from the Game Association
and judging from the number issued, the
visitors will be numerous down the State
| to-day
DELAWARE GAME LAWS.

great difficulty that the tanker will be
hauled off the shoals.
The Saxoleine, with Captain J. Il.
Waters in charge, passed New Castle
