BOXING IS DEAD.

Detroit, Nov 2.-Both Willie Lewis and Joe Walcott have left Detroit, and there will be no effort to pull off an- other fight here before the first of the year at least.
 Early in 1906 some changes in the local police administration are looked for, and these may result in the re- vival of boxing. For the present it is dead. If the game is resumed Lewis will have the first chance.
 Walcott will not be made another offer to come here owing to his hold up work of Tuesday night, or, rather, Wednesday morning. When 1t looked as If there was a chance to pull off the bout out in Macomb county, Wal colt effeetually checked any chance by insisting on guarantee of $600 for his end. As there were only about 20e men with the fighters, and all of these already had spent night and lot of car fares, it was apparent that money enough to give Walcott 5000 and Lewis another piece of money would not be raised. Walcott said that there would be no fight unless he got his price.
 The articles called for no guarantee, and B. J. Ryan, who was to referee. announced that, so far as his powers extended, he would forfeit the fight and the title than hinged on 1t to Lewis. The latter will claim the wei. terweight title, though, under the cir cumstances, there being no fight, he will have his troubles proving his right to it. Among those who followed the fighters around the country the belief is that Lewis would have won the title anyway had the boys been put into a ring. Walcott had no desire to fight at any time.

BowKER PosTPoNEs BATTLE.

Abe Attell will not fight Jem Bow ker, of England, for the international featherweight championship until some time after the first of the year. Abe received letter yesterday from Bowker in London announcing his de- cision in this regard.
 The little Britisher's reason Is a sentimental one. He is to be married within the next few days and as his wife does not want to spend her hon eymoon nursing him back to life, or with a bridegroom who has been bat tered out of the majority of hIs good looks, he has, determined to defer to her wishes.
 Besides" Bowker naively writes you might trim me and I want to be champion all through my honey moon."
 So Abe. who is not entirely without sentiment himself, will walt until af- ter January.
 In the meantime there Is a strong probability that Attell will make sev- eral good matches. The one most likely to be pulled of in the immedi- ate future will be with Terry McGoT- ern. Joe Humphreys saw Abe yester- day and from the nature of their con- fab it Is considered highly probable that the fight will take place. There does not seem to be much chance for Terry getting a bout with Nelson. The Dane has expressed his willing ness and at different times the IordIy Mr Nolan has condescended to acquI- ese. but his most recent utterance was to the effect that Nelson would not fight for several months until he had completed his theatrical engage ments. in fact
