A MIGHTY GOOD one

cent good order. Good, I say, because
the dumbest man in the sporting game
Knows tina 1t was time that somebody
put a crimp in some of the so-called
boxing clubs over in New York, and
without giving Bing any credit 1t might
be said that If a part of his orders are
obeyed it will prove a good thing for
square sporting men In New York.
1t was getting SO over that way that
club owners had formed q trust, and a
blacklist was in action. If q boy didn I
fight before this club for a few dollars
and let the owners get the cream, that
hoy was kept out Of getting a Job be-
fore another club. If the boy, who was
lucky to get work didn't fork over a
percentage of his purse to some Tom,
Dick and Harry connected with the
club, he was thereafter tabooed. He
couldn't hght before another club.
1t was getting pretty, excuse the
word, rotten. In some Instances the
club owners took your good money and
promised a certain card. Then after

the men or the level like Al McMurray
and Jim Buckley see that such clubs
are suppressed then their clubs and
others like them will be allowed to do
business.
Keep the grafters and the blacklist
ers out of the sport. Boxing is a good
game and full of excitement, and by
paying good purses to the men who
work and not to the hangers on and
the cuspidor artists the public will
soon show its appreciation. There will
be boxing in NewNYork, but not until
some improvement is seen.
General Bingham is in favor of the
manly art. But he is against thugs
and barroom artists stealing money
out of the pockets of the Manhattan
ties, and the ~Jerseyites who patronize
the clean fights. There are worse things
than boxing going on in the big city.
Bingham knows it and he knows that
if more of the citizens take an Interest
in boxing and learn>the tricks of. the
game they will not have to carry dead

against the garroters and highwaymen
who infest| the district covered by Dan

Let us here in Jersey cherish Q hone
