NO PRIZE FIGHT
In SPRINGS RINK
Coward Says Promoters Can
Not Have Building For
Such Purpose
LEGITIMATE BOXING
MATCHES NOT BARRED

While the people arc not placing
much credence in the report that
TEX" Richards, the fight promoter, is
endeavoring to bring the next big
fight TO Delaware, yet the rumor has
caused considerable talk.
n. ID. Coward. president of the
Springs Amusement Company, which
corporation controls the Springs Rink
Building, the largest auditorium in
the State, was asked if their directors
had been approached with a view Of
securing the use of this building for
this purpose. Mr. edward replied
in the negative and very emphatically
continued, land such a request would
positively be refused. Never, as long
as this company controls the use Of
this building shall il ever be used
for Prize Fight 1t is true that
we have allowed IL to be used for
boxing and other athletics and under
restrictions that prevent such con-
tests being in any form or manner
contrary to the laws of the State
which are sufficiently stringent TO
prevent a prize fight being given pub
licly in any part of the State.
I'm renting the building for box
ing We stipulate, that only a reason
able number Of rounds shall be per-
mitted and that number limited: that
no decision shall he given by the
referee upon which result betting
could be decided; that each contestant
shall be paid a like amount for his
services i'm giving the boxing exhibit
lions and no further prize be given
the winner of any one contest if de-
cided by any mutually agreed upon
authority other than the accredited
referee. Further, as owners of the
building we stipulate, that we reserve
the right TO stop a contest at any
time when in our Judgment or that
of our representative il reaches the
stage of brutality. Our rule that re-
quires that physician shall examine
each contestant before each confess
and forbid same in case either OJ
both are physically unable to stand
the exertion, prevents any but those
thoroughly trained and in proper con-
dition from entering. In addition We
have a rule that forbids a contest
across the color line, which to our
| knowledge was never violated but
once and that time without our prior
| knowledge. for which infringement the
promoter was afterwards refused the
] use OF the building.
',In fact" continued Mr.. Coward
"the boxing as conducted in our build
ing is exactly on the same line al
that given at the Y. NJ. c. A., except
ing that the exhibitions at the rink are
given by men trained for such work
and go longer than those of the Y
NJ c. A.. which association is sup
posed to handle amateurs only. II
fact I am not az all sure but that the
" NJ. CA. permits the referee to give
decision on the result of their con
tests"

That a japanese spy was captured
yesterday on Corregidor Island
sketching the Notifications was ad-
mitted today at army headquarters
The Japanese was dressed like a la,
borer. He was taken to the guard
house and searched. An almost com
plete plan of the Notifications, with
data of the gun mountings and a bun
die of private papers, the nature of
which has not been disclosed, We're
found on him and confiscated.
The japanese was then forcibly
elected. He was not kept under ar
rest because of the fact that there is
no law under which he could be pun
ished. But he is under constant sur
veillance.
In addition to the explosives found
hidden in the japanese quarter OF Ma
Mia, there We're also found metal
castings of the kind used by the Jap
anese in mining the harbors in Corea,
mine caps and heavily insulated wire,
such as is used in connecting harbor
mines with the shore.
