DoxING Commission AFFAIRS are
growing hot. Commissions
- OrNeli IA just returned from Q
conference with the Governor. and Al
though he has nothing TO cay for pub
Ncation, Il 10 suspected that he and the
Oovernor are Of ono mind on tho en-
forcing of the Law. The commission on
wednesday wnl take UP the Powers and
Pollok matter aSstn-Madison Square
A. O.-and the probe will DO vigorously
applisd. II 10 said that the Garden has
an interest in the clubs recefpts, which

Gnrding The identity Of the individuals
Who had . 'sphr' OF ths proceeds OF

Il would be . paty V the Madison
equars A. O. came 70 the q Of it,
tether this week With the CaN Norris
Jim Flynn affair on for Friday night
The Garden 10 the only place In town
big enough for the crowd that VIII be
Ara wn by that scrap. This matter should
be settled n way or The other-snd
strictly according to law. playing no
fsyorltes-wtthout further delay.
ACKEY M'FARIAND ays that
nothing will interfere with his
wolgast bout. and that " will
come OF a. scheduled. on the 18th. and
in Milwaukee.
Billy Gibson. who 10 always interested
In McFarland's nights. and who usually
commands Packey's services when
packey Is in the East. heard h rumor
that the bout would not be allowed 20
60 on and hurriedly called Psoksy up
on The long-distancs telephone.
ITS all right" said Packey. "Nsver
mind those stories. There won't be any
interference. The Sheriff here 10 op-
posed TO prize fights. but ne isn't goins
to stop a boxing bout. Buy your ticket
and come out and you won't be disap-
pointed" The Acting Governor Of Wis
%consln. however. seems to hold a differ
ent opinion. Sheriff Arnold says that he
has been ordered to prevent the bout.
~TOPPfNG a McTarland-w oigast
bout would be a Joke after letting
the smuggling matches 30 on for
years. N there Is a man In the world
qualified TO deliver the goods In boxing
that gent is Packey Mcfarland. And
Wolgast Is a pretty clever %youngster
himself. III bet a ginger cookie against
the hole In a doughnut that II Sandy
Ferguson and Jim Barry were matched
to fight at Milwaukee there'd be no talk
OF interference. They could slug. kick.
bite and gouge to their hearts content.
dill BROWN 10 an indignant citi-
zen. Bill runs a boxing club at
Browns Gymnasium on Twenty
third street. A few days ago some one
started a story to the effect that the
Fire Department had ordered Bits club
closed. owing 70 serious infractiony OF
the fro regulations.
IT'S a blame lie.' said Bill indig-
nantly when he came to tell us about
T. Why. I voluntarily built In better
escapes than the law calls for. There's
no y . ~ all. The Department just
sent me a office about getting more
junk to decorate the place withs-that's
all. Here's the list: . 3-gal. IRE extin-
guishers. 3 +-pound fat-head axes. 8 g.
foot hooks. ~ metal buckets painted
red and marked FIRE In letters not
less than ala inches high. And some
body started a story that ! was closed
upl Huh. those guys must think
haven't money enough to u q bucket
witt red letters on It."
