 MEASURES BEFORE
 TENNESSEE SOL0NS

Nashville. February 6.-(speeiall-fwo important measures were introduced into the senate today by former Gov. John l. Cox. now senator from extreme eastern counties of the state. One of these pro- vides for the purchase by the state of q new gubernatorlal mansion and the con version of the present executive residence into a capitol annex for overflow de- partment headquarters. The reasons as outlined in the bill are that a more saita- ble residence could be obtained else where, the suburbs preferred, and that the forthcoming construction of the capitol boulevard will make the present govern or's home more suitable for the purposes indicated The present annex will be de- stroyed in the making of the new eoule- ward. It is provided that the price of the proposed new mansion be not In excess of the condemnation price of the present an rex and improvements already provided for.
 Senator Cox's second bill seeks to amend the general educational bills already in trodueed in both houses.

 The governor said that railroad men had not received justice in legislative enactment and declared that it was time to recognize that their labor was extra hazarous The state should give protection for their lives. he declared, and for the benefit of their families after their lives have been sacrificed. The governor declared that this was not politics. but justice.
 There promises to be some hot fights this week over threatened or impend- ing legislation.

Plenty Work for

Regulation of Glove Game Would
Give Fan a Good Run for His
Money-Too Many Fakes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The new boxing
commission has plenty OF work cut out for
1t in this state. Recently New York has
had an overdose of unsatisfactory bouts
curious state OF affairs is partly responsible
for this. With the passing of the Frawley
bill a number of well known fighters from
all over the country headed for New York
well known boxers" are those who have
been in the game a long time. Often they
have gone past their prime, although the
glamor and glory of their fighting days
fingers about them. The clubs, counting
on the drawing power of the old names,
began putting on these back numbers. The
result has been a number of bouts which
did not class with their preliminaries.
There was Johnny Thompson, fresh from
Australia and a list of winning fights
Johnny went to Australia a lightweight
and returned a heavyweight. He was as
fat as a porker the night he boxed Lewis at
the National Athletic club. Result,
deadly slow, undressing bout. Again at
the National Johnny boxed Klaus, not as
fat as before, but still fat and uninteresting
in action. Then Philadelphia Jack oBrien
fought Langford It was given out that
Jack was in great shape-and felt confident
that he could whip the Tar Baby.
The resulting bout was a very sad affair.
o'Brien was flabby and thick waisted and
slow compared TO his old form. He ISL
IDENTIFY had no hope of beating Langford
All he did was rush in with the hope that
Sam would knock him out quickly and end
the agony Sam held back the knockout
blow for while to give the crowd a run
tor its money. 1t was hardly a run at that
Then came Papke and Burke-another dis
appointment. Papke's excuse was that he
underestimate Burke-thought he could
finish him easily and didn't train. What
did Papke do in the ring to earn $500?
The boxing commission, of course, cannot
dictate matches 20 the clubs, but it has the
power to regulate the sport
