when favorable action is expected.
The officers of the new club are:
S. M. Van Allen, president; William
H. Randall, treasurer; Thomas
J.. Ryan, secretary. The newly
formed organization claims to ave a
bonafide lease Of the famous arena,
and claims also to have adopted all
the necessary steps laid down by the
Frawley law to conduct boxing exhi-
billions.
From what can be learned it is the
intention of the Garden A. c. TO bid
only for exhibitions between top

The officials of the Empire A. c.
have peer fined $500 by the state Ath-
letic Commission for neglecting to pay
5 per cent. of their boxing receipts to
the State treasury as demanded under

Travelling Not So Good.
Immediately after yesterdays game
the Tigers boarded the boat for Rich

the Newark manager was worried

Petersburg in time for a game today.
The rules are very strict this year and
the club would be subject to a fine of
$1,000 for falling to fill the date at
