WHY FIGHTING GAME
IS DEAD IN BALTIMORE
Mayor Refuses to Allow White and
Colored Boxers to Mix.

peculiar state Of affairs is said to
exist in regard to boxing il Baltimore,
where the people are very fond Of the
sport In the State of Maryland there
is no definite law in opposition to box
ing and the matter is principally one of
local police regulation. In Baltimore
the recently elected mayor is an athlete
and fond Of all sorts of sports, and ex-
ercise. He is especially a lover of prop
erly conducted boxing bouts. The mem
bers of the police board are also more
or less favorable to boxing when prop
erly conducted, and among the people
generally there is no feeling hostile to
the sport. There is, however, a decided
opposition in that city to the matching
OF white boxers against colored men.
So strong has this feeling grown OF late
that the sporting public there will not
stand for a negro boxer beating up

noted managers of pugilists in this coun-
try, is the leading promoter of boxing

City will not allow the sport TO be car
rted on at all. HerfoTd, who has a club

YALE FOOTBALL SQUAD
Holton and Scott Show Up Well
in Practice.

NEW HAVEN. Oct 6.-The Yale
coaches yesterday afternoon put their
team through the longest and hardest
practice of the season, although the
weather was showery. The repeated
appeals of the coaches for more candi-
dates and for big men brought forth
some new material yesterday.
Horace F. Holton, OF the Divinity
School, who graduated from Amherst In
1902. appeared as a candidate for center.
He weighs 225 pounds. He gave Rora-
back the hottest argument that the lat
ter has had this fall. B. Scott. 1904. who
was substitute last fall, also Joined the
squad. He was used at guard on the
scrub team opposite Morton. Scott also
made things lively for his varsity OPP
ponent. The scrub team was SO greatly
strengthened by the new candidates that
the varsity got only one touchdown.

begin today, gave a foretaste of her
ability yesterday by defeating Miss
Frances Griscom, the former United

the links of the Merton Cricket Club,
where the tourney begins today Miss
Adair's score for the course was 81.
and the best Miss Griscom could do was
1O4.
The course was virtually that of the
men. the DOGGY for which is 20 going
out and 40 coming in. Miss Adair went
out In "A and came In in AZ. The golf
experts who followed Miss Adair and
Miss Griscom agreed that the chances
favored victory for Miss Adair in the
tournament. The fact that Miss Adair
had just completed an ocean voyage,
and was playing on a strange link for
the first time. stamps her as a high
class golfer.
The list of women who have accepted
the invitation of Mrs. Griscom COM
prises more expert golfers than are
seen at national championship. Mrs.
G. I. Stout, formerly Miss Genevieve
Hecker. and Mrs Edward A. Manice,
both of New York. were out during the
day Mrs. Stout was coached by the

WHISTLER AND MEYERS
FIGHT A FAST DRAW
Latter Matched to Box Kid Sullivan

Two excellent fights we're given last
night at the Hudson Athletic Club In
Baltimore. Billy Whistler and Sammy
Meyers fought the star bout, and Referee
James O'Eara decided It was a draw
after they had gone the full twenty
rounds.
They fought hard. Meyers was the
choice in the betting, but though he had
the better of the early part OF the fight,
Whistler was the better man at the
finish.
About 700 persons saw the set-tos.
The better OF the two encounters was
a preliminary between John Smith and
Young Bernstein. The latter was the
bigger, but Smith was the cleverer and
won on points.
