is always bad medicine for profes- sional sports and particularly boxing.
 1 believe the removal of the ban would act for the good of the sport. have Been all advocate of decisions since the Frawley law has been in operation, and have contended that the prohibitory ruling is d knock in- stead of a boost for the pastime of swat and duck. Those who argue that official decisions encourage gambling on contests are of the pessimistic kind who never seen good ill anybody CT anything, and who figure that all men are crooked. It is eXteremeIy doubtful if there would be any more betting if referees selected winners than there is under existing condi- tions.
 The argument that referees would fall fer propositions" from gamblers and render decisions accordingly is absurd. A referee might get away with the rough work once, but that would be about all. The law gives the Boxing Commission authority to is- sue end revoke licenses of referees at their own sweet will and it would be up to that body to keep the arbit- CTS on the straight and narrow path. And for that matter I do not know of any man who officiates in local rings who would stoGp to dishonest methods. The majority have estab- iished regulations for honesty and capability by years of good and faith fGl service. Such men as Tim Hurst, Charley White Patsy Haley, Billy Joh and Sam Austin have enviable rec ords; these are the sort of men who preside at the principal Gotham clubs.
 Give the public that supports pro- fessional boxing what they want, Commissioners, as long as you can do so within the letter of the law. ii you have any doubts concerning the integrity of your referees, it lies i'll your power to reduce the possibilitj' of evil in that direction to minimum. A very good plan would be, as sug- gested jn this column months ago, to assign boxing referees to the different clubs on the same plan that the base ball authorities lay out the work for umpires. If this plan is adopted it will he an exceedingly difficult jot, for unscrupulous persons to "ge to- the right man, inasmuch as assign ments will not be made public until the last moment.

Jim Flynn and his retinue of trai1t- CTS have settled down to the hard work of tra,ning and reports emana- ting from the little town of Las Ee- gas tell of spirit of confidence that pervades the, camp of the white chal- lenger fer the championship. The op- position to fhe fight that for time threatened to develop into serious trouble has been smoothed over an;l everything indicates that the big ho4i day event will take place as original ly planned.
 Jack Cu,'ey, acting in double cat- acily of Ii anager of one of the csa- testants :'s : promot9rr2f the oa".e, is very confident the attraction will draw immense crowds, and that Flynn will defeat the negro Johnson. As for Jim Flynn himself I'll say I have never talked with a man with more confidence in his ability to win a fight than the Pueblo Fireman man. ifested during our recent conversa- tion. If courage and belief in ones own powers is half the battle, as many profess to believe, then Flynn certainly has a great chance.

The birds are naturally fond of play

is said by Edward Montague, an old
New Highlander, to be the best meth.
cd of training. Montague's ancestry
dates back in 1868, when Richard Mon.
tague settled in Hadley, Mass, and all
of his descendants, of whom there are
more than five hundred in the United
States, take pride in displaying the
Montague coat-of-arms.
In addition to being proud of his
ancestry, Edward Montague is ex.
tremely proud of his flock of trained
cockatoos and some of his birds,
doubtless because of his training, dis.
play almost human intelligence.
The cockato is found in immense
f1ocks in the wild regions three hun
dred miles west of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, and there they are easily
caught in traps. There are several
species, but those with the yellow
crest are the most beautiful as well
as the most Intelligent.

bird matches her young in a particular
ly torrid climate and then immedi:
ately flies away to some colder cline.
where the young bird quickly attains
Its growth. Another feature of the
bird is that the crest is a barometer OF
feeling.
When incensed, the crest is percep.
tibly raised, while when the bird
sulks, the crest is correspondingly
lowered. Naturally the bird is of a
vicious nature and one pick from the
sharp bill is sufficient to sever the end
Of a finger.
Training of the birds is an interest
ing vocation and usually extends over
a period of two years. The individu-
al bird must first be taught to per-
form and then similar instruction has
to be given to the flock. The birds
can be taught to dance, engage in
chariot races, do stunts on the hori-
zontal bars, perform on revolving
balls and lastly to talk and swear.
The birds strangely pick up profane
words much more quickly than words
! of any other type, and some cockatoos
know more profanity than anything
else.
They live to be more than one hun
bred years old, and some birds are In
| captivity which have exceeded the
century mark. They do not require
any more treatment to sustain life
than a human being, and If they are
fed regularly and kept out of draughts
they contract no illness. But they dis
like extreme hot weather, and those
in captivity always grow restless
when the hot sun shines upon them.

BlRDS THAT LIVE cENTURIE,
Average Lie Of Australian cockatoo
Said to Be Hundred
Years.

Melbourne, Australia.-Among the
wild birds of tropical countries whose
average life Is said to be close to one
hundred years are said to be the
cockatoos of Australia, a handsome
bird belonging to the same family as
the parrot, and a species of bird which
is readily tanned and taught to do
tricks which many domesticated birds
and animals are unable to accom-
plish.
The cockatoo, particularly the vel
