NEW YORK. May 4-The public sits
in admiration and awe Of Connie Msck's
worlds champion Athletics. The team
which humbled the Giants In the worlds
series last fall is universally conceded
to be one Of the very best aggregations
produced in the history Of the national

OF the man who fashioned 1t.
Connie Mack did not fall heir to any
such collection Of stars. He had TO dig
up each and every one Of them. His
ultimate success is but tribute 10 his
foresight and rare judgment. For in his

changed the business politics of the great
organized profession. The leader OF the
Athletics was pioneer In his way. He
foresaw ten years ago the great develop

Other States Like
Laws of New York

NEW YORK, May 4-Since Senator
Frawley drew up the present Law in this
state which provides for commission
to supervise boxing other states and
cities all over the country have been
demanding a similar measure Cincinnati
Is the first to actually follow suit. and
that city now has a set OF regulations
that in some respects Is an Improvement
on those in force here. On the whole.
tina rules laid down by the New York
commission are followed. bat there are
few additions which are worthy OF
note.
One Of these Is that each club must
post the amount guaranteed the boxers
with the commissioners three days be-
fore the bout and each contestant In the
main event must post q forfeit to guar
antee that he fuiffls his part Of the con-
tract. This rule does away with one
source Of trouble that has been most
prevalent here Fully % per cent Of the
complaints lodged with the local com
mission have to do with either the club
or the boxers failing to carry out their
contracts. Short Of Withdrawing . clubs
license, the commission can do little save
admonish the offenders. and it Is rare
that the case Is serious enough TO war
rant such a drastic measure.
Another cincinnatss> rule reads: no
speechmaking. introducing Of boxers.
coaching Of boxers in an audible man
ner. or remarks OF any kind win be
tolerated" The local clubs are gradually
doing away with the long list OF tirssoms
introductions. but the noisy second TO
mains unsquelchsd.
