THE death of kid" Gardner last
week in Philadelphia has led to
the drafting of a set of rules to
govern the boxing game in Philadelphia
In the future. Director of Public
Safety Clay, of Philadelphia, made the
new set. of rules after consulting with
the sporting editors of the Philadelphia
newspapers. 1t will be required that a
competent physician be on hand all the
time. Many of the clubs now conform
to that rule. The M. d. will be in
structed to examine a man every time
he Is knocked down and to inform the
referee of the condition of both men
at such times. No boys under 16 years
Of age will be allowed to go on, and no
grudge or championship fights will be
permitted. The padding on the ring
will AVE to extend three feet outside
of the ropes on all sides. The clubs
were informed that they must live up
to these rules n the license of the
Nonparei1 Athletic Club, where the ac-
cident occurred, has been restored after
being revoked.
h above rules might prove a boon
to those who would promote boxing in
States where 1t is now not allowed.
Under these conditions there could be
no very terrible objections to the game
A similar. code and petition has been
drafted by those interested In the game
in Butte, Montana. and the executive
committee of the great common oun
ell will draw up a bill to be presented
at the next meeting of h Montana
legislature.
It has been definitely announced that
the Brooklyn club will play an exhibit
ton game with the Tigers on Sunday,
April 0. The Superbas will make the
jump from Washington, where an ex-
hibition game has been arranged for
the preceding day. It's a departure
from the old routine to have the Brook
lyn team here for a game. This will
give Newarkers a chance to see the
most talked-of team of youngsters in
the National League. a team that, with
a few good pitchers, could make them
all hustle
For-ssrse reason or other President
Ed. Barrow has already violated his
promise to the Baseball Writers Asso-
ciatiSn, of the Eastern league. regard
ing the giving out of news to the New
York newspapers first. He is said to
have taken up headquarters in rooms
814 AND 816 in h st. James building,
ccrner of Twenty sixth street and
Broadway. That has been lone with
out notifying all the Eastern league
paper8. MI. Barrow would make a
great hit IL he selected an Eastern
league city for his headquarters.
Myron Grfmshaw. the Toronto first
sacker who war injured last summer
and incapacitated for the rest of the
season, was not allowed q claim he put
In for $3.50 against the Toronto Club for
hts salary While off duty. The man.
agement of the Leafs said that Grim
shaw would have been paid that
amount had he not gone to the COM
mission before h season closed.
The criticism that Jimmy De For
rests able management of Pal Moore
and his arrangement of matches for his
protege were responsible for Pals rapid
rise in pugilism is rather borne out by
Pals miserable showing this season..
Local hockey lovers have an oppor-
tunity to see the Princeton and the
Williams sevens in action at the st.
Nicholas Rink tonight.
