tssts on French soil until the expiration
es his New York suspension.
For a year or moro the Federation OF
French Boxing Clubs has boon corre-
sponding with the New York State Ath-
latte Commission, which was created
especially TO control boxing here. A
few weeks ago Victor Breyer OF Paris.
one Of tho most widely known OF the
French promoters. visited New Yorl'
and held much conversation with
Messrs. o'Neil and Dixon. Victor
Breysr was officially representing the
Federation OF French Boxing Clubs
which IN under the direction or some
Of tho best known and most responsi-
BILE men In France. His mission was
TO arrange for an agreement between
III French authorities and those in con-
troll Of boxing In the United States.
While no legal steps were taken be-
cause the Boxing Commission repre-
sents only New York State, and because
the law doesn't provide for alliances
with foreign associations. II was agreed
between Mr.. Boyer ana the Commits
! ssoners that the best Interests of the
y sport would be served by mutual un-
dcrstanding. In other words. boxers
who violate the fair rules OF tho sport
Z In France and are debarred from CON-
petition there will not be allowed 10
box here. Boxers debarred here will not
be allowed to box before the French
3 clubs.
= This Is an excellent idea. as It will PUT
takers out OF the game. Papko's agree
. ment with the New star A. G. called for
$ payment on a percentage basis. lie ar
rived ut the clubhouse. saw that there
was very slim crowd and skipped
out again. No matter how little was In
the box Office Papke should have boxed.
In sidestopplng the match at the last
moment he robbed several hundred peo-
pie Of their evening. even II they got
their gate money back. Also he dam
aged the reputation OF the club In . way
that will cost the management a great
deal of money IN future gates. The
tndefnte suspension dealt out 10 Papke
within twenty-four hours by the COM
mission IL no more than he should have
expected and certainly no moro than he
deserved. The state Athletic Commits
} sion has been doing good work ever
since It's appointment by ahe Governor.
For the first time In the history OF the
ring those who pay their money TO SEQ
boxing shows are having the zane legal
protection accorded those who enjoy
other branches Of entertainment.
- o. BROWN didn't show all OF
his old snap and speed and
punching ability night before
last. and some people think X. o. III
Joining the has-beena
= hardly eco how he can DO at his
best after several months out OF the
ring. and part OF that time spent In "a
hospital. LATHE X. o. was seriously In
Jured IN an automobile accident, al
though no bones were broken. lie grew
soft while in the hospital. and although
he has trained hard since coming out
again he will need sevral good, hard
scraps 10 put him back into tho best OF
form again.
Funny thing-K. o. has been training
with Jack Brltton. and Brltton has been
giving him few tips on the art OF be-
ing clever.
THERE'S new development in
amateur athletics. 1t IL the Civ
Ing Of practice events" designed
TO develop now material rather than to
give the champions chance TO accu-
mulate more medals. The Bradhurst Field
Club. No. 2j5 West One Hundred and
Twenty-sixtn street. viii hold a four
and half mile practice run" next
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. All ath-
letes are invited to run In this race.
Youngsters. inexperienced runners, are
wanted. There Is no entering and no
entry fee to pay, Tho idea Is to give
boys with taste FOR athletics chance
TO go out and see what they can do.
The club Is to furnish some entertain
msnt-minstrel music. refreshments and
all that-after the race. Best OF all, the
young athletes will be accompanied by
CASTOR Strobino. who finished third In
/. the Stockholm Marathon. and by Harry
Smith. fve-mile champion; Nike Ryan
and John Reynolds. winners OF many
local Marathon races. who will give ad.

but Will not run, as q recent ruling OF

\ events. Simon Gillies Of tho Traffic
Squad Will help To handle the crowd
IL would not be at all surprising n
these practice runs" open to al
corners. developed the next American
UlaRsg Of an Olympic Marathon.
