IL Is generally conceded that condl-
tons are reasonably promising for a
resumption OF the sport within a few
months. IL not weeks. A. new kind OF
boxing has sprung up-a sport To.
which virtually all the objections. SO
applicable TO the old game, cannot
apply.
Ten rounds or less; no decisions;
large gloves: padded rings and the
new practice OF hiring contestants AT
a dennite figure with no contingency
regarding winning or losing-therc
practices, now generally In use, have
made boxing n sport which has al
vorced itself from brutality, gambling
and incentives to crookeyness.
II coterie Of real sportsmen. en-
tirely divorced from the saloon ele-
ment which has been far too promi-
nent a factor In Detroit boxing OF the
past, can be gotten together for the
purpose. IL Is believed that the state
and local administrations can be con.
vinced OF the advisability OF granting
another chance to the sport.
Just such an organization is being
formed In Detroit. In all probability,
Ii will make an effort to promote an
exhibition this winter. When the fall
season opens up. Its members hope
to show Detroit the new school OF 5ox-
ing. as exemplifed by some Of It's
foremost examples.

Chauncey Johnson's Frenzied Throws
From the 0utfeld Make Contest
Interesting, Though.

BY the largest margin OF points
which has heretofore existed In the
long history OF basketball competition
between the ID. A. c. and Y. M. G. A.
flves, the Athletic club team took the
first game OF the annual series at the
Light Guard armory last evening. the
count was 40 to 20.
ID. A. C. supporters were naturally
elated over the victory OF their team.
Il had been expected, II developed
Yet the fact that, right down to the
closing stages the "Y' bunch was de-
cidedly In the running leaves the re-
cult of the series still open to mild
doubt
The Y. M. C. A. Ave surprised Its
most sanguine admirers by Its plucky
defense.
Reorganized at the eleventh hour,
with q center man new TO his mates
and to the class of game into which
he was pitched. the "Y" was within
two points of It's rival at the close OF
the second period. only to fall by the
wayside against the finishing sprint
OF the winning aggregation.
.Xn Had ths-Luck.
The luck of the evening was un-
questionably with the ~"
Most particularly was this the
case with that sterling guard Chaunr
cey Johnson, the sole survivor OF the
battle OF Brandywine. Chauncey play
ed a genuinely fine game at guard, but
at shooting he struck dumb the assem-
bled multitude. Three times-twice
In the first half and once In the sec
ond, Chauncey found himself In pos
session of the ball on the right side
OF the floor and midway between the
rival receptacles. On each OF these
occasions he looked In vain for some
mate to whom he might pass. All
were covered, SO Chauncey shut his
eyes and heaved. To the Amusement
of the assembled throng, six points
resulted from these hectic efforts.
When the fact Is recalled that
Chauncey hasn't thrown q field goal
In any preceding game this year. the
surprising fortune attending his hurl
ing from the outheld. can be imagined
On other occasions Chauncey's
filings hit the gallery or missed the
board altogether
1t was Chauncey's unexpected ad-
diti0n to the W score which made
the game close and permitted his
team to tie the ID. A. C. at % points
and pass them moment later.

The gameness of d. A. c. was In
evidence, as In so many other hard

Contractors and foremen are in

Wednesday, May II, at z p. M.

Inside of five years there will be
a better looking and prettier Bangor
than ever before" said Hon. Beecher
Putnam of Houlton, State insurance
commissioner in speaking of the Ban
gor fire. Mr.. Putnam spent Tuesday
and Wednesday in Bangor and after
familiarizing himself thoroughly with
the situation he states that the loss
will be less than $4,000. 900, while the
full amount of insurance is something
over 81 100000 and may reach 100000.
Most of the fire sufferers were
wealthy people and the result will be
that practically all the buildings burn
ed will be restored and in better shape
than before recontinued. THE fire
department did everything that they
could do and with such wind in pro-
gress II is a wonder that not more of
the city was swept away. The only
suggestion that / can make that
would increase the adequacy of the fire
department would be a fire boat, which
could be used to good purpose and
might have been very effective at the
start of this fire.
MIR. Putnam in discussing the reason
why 50 many brick buildings were de-
stroyed by the fire gave it as his opin-
ion that it was because they were
not protected on the street front by
glass windows and because many of
them had woodwork about the fronts.
