at least so far as Its eonduction In this
state Is concerned.
The status Of professional boxing is In
a, precarious condition at the present
time In this state. Governor Dix re-
quested the appeal OF the Frawley law
during the previous session Of the legis-
lature. In his message TO the present
legislature he reiterated his request. In
accordance with his wishes there are
bills calling for the repeal Of the law In
both the senate and the assembly.
What the outcome Of these attempts TO
comply with the desire Of the state exec
utlve will be IL is Of course impossible to
state at this time There Is to be a sort
Of public hearing In the matter before
the bills are considered and 1t is certain
the legislators will be governed to a
certain extent by the expression Of public
opinion.
Senator Frawley is opposed to a repeal
Of the law. While he admits there have
been some abuses, he insists there has
not been sufficient time as yet for the
law TO be promptly tested. Asst mh;yman
Allen. who introduced the bill calling for
a repeal Of the law. is OF a different opin-
ion. The present law" he said yester-
day. is unsatisfactory and from all over

there is q strong and steady demand for
this form Of entertainment throughout
the state. and under sane conditions and
management boxing should and win flour

Heretofore the spectator who paid an
admission fee into the seat fund never
knew whether he was TO receive a rea-
sonable return or not for his investment.
II has been repeatedly said that the bouts

Under the new era, which should ap-

reasonably expect TO witness exhibitions
In which the principals shall do their
best and box without reservation OF either
skin or strength. The very fact that pun

under investigation was a champion

MAT LEADERS TO WRESTLE
Mahmout and Westergaard to Have
Bout at Auditorium Friday.
HoKUF AND WASsEM MATCHED
Local Heavy Men TO Go to the Mat
for n Finish-GilIan Presents
Some Strong Prelim-
mary Bouts.

Much interest is being taken In the
wrestling match Friday night when Jess
Westergaard and Yussif Mahmout. the
big Turk, meet in a finish match at the
Auditorium. The main preliminary be-
tween Oscar wassem and Bill HolSuf,
who will wrestle to a finish, is also
attracting a lot Of attention.
Mahmout has been seen in two finish
matches in Omaha and is well known
to the lovers of the mat game In this
city. In 1890 he wrestled to a finish
with Raoul de Rouen in which the latter
won. Last fall Mahmout wrestled with
Asbell. Frank Gotch's training partner.
Masmout won the match. Two weeks
ago Mahmout appeared for a week at
local theater. He took on all comers
and distinguished himself as some mat
artist. The big Turk and his manager,
Emil Klank, have been making all kinds
Of claims for the marvellous ability OF
the big wrestler and now tpe public Will
have an opportunity to see what the big
fellow is able to do against man OF
Westergaard's caliber.
There is no doubt but what the match
will be pulled off on schedule time FRI
day night. and there will be no post
ponement as the contracts call for the
principals to be in Omaha twenty-four
hours before the time set for the match
or forfeit a certain amount of money
posted by each grappler.
