SAYS "FOXING" GAME IS BEING
OYERWORKED BY LOCAL CLUBS

the form of foxing bouts has already
taken the precaution of issuing mem
bership cards" following the plan of
the clubs in Manhattan. That such
a move was thought to be necessary
seems to indicate that there is some-
thing in the wind.
The police in this city have already
issued a warning to one promoter that
professionals from out of town viii not
be considered as pupils and the notice
has been quickly acted upon.
With the failure of the Legislature to
do anything in the way of lifting the
ban on boxing, the police authorities
have evidently concluded that it was mp
to them to call a halt. Just a wee bit
of rope has been allowed those who de-
sire TO pm exhibitions of the
manly art" but it's a safe bet hat the
old regime is soon to be in force.
Strict "foxing'' schools, with bona fide
pupils doing the work. may be able to
get away with it, but others are likely
to find that it will be necessary to put
UP the shutters.

Too many physical culture schools"

not be distinguished from ordinary,
everyday boxing.
