New York, Feb 23.-Some more disgraceful
revelations from California as to the dishonest
methods which appear to have been in vogue in
that state in the prize ring may be expected
before the last of the professional fighters shas
recovered his wits sufficiently to shut his bab-
bling mouth. e
The discouraging thing in regard to the most
recent outbreak of scandal is the possibility
that Cans not only will make another match
but that there will be sufficient spectators to
witness 1t to make the affair pay. - ...
1t is the unfortunate feature of professional
pugilism that 1t is not conducted by any govern
Ing body which has the power to discipline
crooked fighters crooked managers and crooked
promoters Were such possible, it is possible
that, ban would have been placed long ago
on some of the disreputable characters who
have been concerned in fake fights and after
ward Dragged of their dishonesty. 4,
More than any other professional sport which
is conducted at the present time, pugilism has
suffered from the frauds of it's own friends-at
least presumable. 1t has fallen into disrepute
III this city because of revelations which were
made In regard to fights that took place under
local management, and in other localities the
same methods have been employed to dscredit
it with the public. ="

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Another conference of the
big nine to consider the football situation in
the middle west may be the result Of the meet
ing Of the board Of physical culture and ath-
letics of the University of Chicago, which Is to
be held tomorrow.
Altho the members of the committee have
formulated no definite program of action, it 10
understood that football reforms will come in
for a large share of the discussion.
Since the action of the senate adopting the
Chicago Beach resolutions, three weeks ago,
nothing has>been done at the Midway regarding
the football situation. With the wide variance
of opinion taken by the big nine colleges, 1t
is felt by several of the members of the board
that another conference may be necessary to
bring about solution of the reform.
1t is probable that at Saturdays meeting this
sentiment will prove strong enough to secure
the adoption of resolutions recommending that
Chicago take the lead in requesting a second
football conference.
