HUGHES AFTER THEM.
New York Governor Would Prevent Clubs
Having Prize Fights

New York, April 7.-Goy. Hughes has
taken up the question Of prize fighting
with the idea Of bringing about legisla-
ton looking to the suppression Of the
fistic encounters which many so-called
athletic clubs have been holding for more
than two years in this and other coun-
ties Of the state.
These clubs hold prize fights under
the guise Of sparring exhibitions. They
distribute membership cards free Of
charge and derive their revenue by SELL
ing ringside seats to members only
This palpable evasion of the law was
brought 70 the governors attention sew
eral weeks ago, and he called upon the
various district attorneys and on police
commissioner Bingham to explain why
they have not successfully suppressed
such 6ghts.
Commissioner Bingham's reply to the
governors letter was sent to Albany
Monday District Attorney Jerome viii
reply in few days, be says. Although
Commissioner Bineham's reply has not
been made public, 1t was learned that il
goes fully into the prize fight question
and frankly admits the inability Of the
police department under the present laws
to cope with the clubs and athletic as
soeiations which are now holding fights
in New York. It's hands are tied.
If they want to stop sparring they
can enact a law to make Il a crime TO
spar in public" said Mr. jerome. "And
II the legislature wants to leave sparring
open. a. a manly exercise and still pre-
vent public exhibitions, let them enact
law to prohibit sparring before more
than q, persons where fee il charged.
Such law would not prevent boxing
in a gymnasium, but Il would knock out
these bouts which are eyasive OF the
law"
