NEW YORK. March 25.-Some local
pugillstic promoters have been consider
ing whether or not II would be we'll for
them to make an effort to secure for this
state law similar to that provided for
in the bill pending in the Missouri legis-
lature. The bill creates state boxing
commissioner, whose duty is to regulate
the boxing game He Is empowered un-
der the proposed law to Issue licenses
to clubs for the holding or boxing bouts.
Frank Moran and all who were con-
wind club in Brooklyn have been arrest
ed for violation OF the law which forbids
Dugllism. The special officers were sent
to get evidence at the fights there and
say they were bloody and brutal
There has been police roundup OF all
concerned in the Pal Moore-Sammy
Smith fight. And also one OF the men
which are said to have been extremely
savage.
There has been a lively discussion
lrish- l -Ameriesn % and sSrSee German on -American
pugilists. Up TO date man who has
taken the Celtic end OF the controversy
has made out this list of men of Irish
John c. Heenan. John Morrissey (after-

liam Madden. Jake Kilrain. Paddy Ryan,

Moran Gets Beating.
AS everybody expected. including the
Moran sound beating in their ten-r round
bout at the Fairmount Athletic club.
Packey demonstrated that he is the
Weight division Moran showed he could
take some punishment That is the whole
story.
Moran is now probably out of the cham
pionship race. McFarland's victory gives
the westerner first call on Wolsast
1t is probable that Wolgast will side
step Packey. But the champion Will
ever he may be. will be forced TO meet
Mcfarland. Mcfarland will be cham
pion.
Who is there that can hope, to take
the title away from Packey. once he gets
It9 He will probably be able TO make
the required weight for the next year
and there is nobody in sight who can cope
with him, In due time Packey VIII be
forced into the welterweight division.
Mentally the little westerner towers
head and shoulders over Moran. Hes
naturally bright and aggressive. Ills
brain is by far his greatest asset
Were he the victim Of any mishap
that would prevent MIN fighting any
more he could make a good livelihood by
employing his education, his natural abl-
ity.
Put Mcfarland and Moran in a sack
and throw them off a train at some west
ern town, and where there is no boxing
and where, to make n living. they would
have 10 employ their own brain matter.
