CHICAGO PUTS LID ON BOXING
Chief of Police Announces that No
More Bouts VIII he Per-
mittcd.

CHICAGO. Dec. T.-All amateur boxing
matches, sparring contests, pugilistic tour
naments and every variety of iistic art is
TO be prohibited in Chicago after tonight.
This will apply to the Chicago Athletic ds-
sociation. where weekly boxing entertain
ments have been given; the New Illinois
athletic club, where monthly anna teur todr-
naments have been held, and all other or
ganizations in the city, whether large or
small.
The conditions surrounding the amateur
tournament of the Illinois club for the past
two nights have caused the ne"' order
which Chief Of Police Collins declared to-
night was final. and meant the end OF all
boxing exhibitions in Chicago and the
final contests in the present tournament Of
the Illinois club scheduled to be decided to-
morrow night cannot take place.
Inability TO regulate the contests without
discrimination and impartiality and the fact
that various organizations attempted 10
take undue advantage of the privilege given
them is responsible for the ban being placed
on the pugilists. Professional pugilists
have been called amateur boxing artists
to evade interference. and wardrobe
charges" and dozen other subtcrfuges
have been used by many of the athletic
clubs to get around the order prohibiting an
