Milwaukee, July 29.-With the
legalizing of the boxing game in sev
eral states it will be a hard matter to
secure high-class matches for all the
big towns to be passed around the
coming fall and winter season There
are now seven states-Wisconsin, New
York. Montana. Colorado, P%ennsylva-
MIA. California and Tennessee. where
the sport is legalized. and there are
several others where it is tolerated OF
recognized officially by the common
councils of the big cities, especially
in such places as Boston. New Or
leans, Columbus, St. Louis and Gin
cinnati. With all the big centers hold
ing boxing bouts it is only to be ex-
pected that the really high-class
matches will be scarce. The light
weight contests a been the real
classy ones, and there are a number
Of 1873 Founders who will make good
matches, but at the same time there
are a few Of the boys who were con-
sidered as stars. who will have to take
a second row seat for a time. Bud
Anderson, who came into prominence
like a mushroom springing up, and
Joe Rivers. the sensational Mexican.
both tasted the bitter pill of defeat,
with the result that Leach Cross and
Harlem Tommy Murphy will replace
them as idols. while such as Joe Man
dot, Charlie White, Jack Britton, Pal
Brown and Matty Baldwin will once
more step into the limelight. Jimmy
Duffy. the Buffalo lightweight, and
Young Shugrue and young Jack
O'Brien might also be mentioned as
among the high class ones. while
Freddy Welsh is the logical opponent

of the British empire. Then. too.
Packey Mcfarland may decide to get
into running again as a lightweight,
or near lightweight, in which case
there would be trouble ahead for any
Of the stars. While the Pacific coast
cities and New York ave had a cinch
on all the big matches Of the past
year OF two, they will find a strong
competitor for star attractions in Mil
best boxing centers in the United
States.
Some Of the biggest matches Of the
past ten years have beer held in the
the city Of beer. especially the Papke-
Kelly and Papke-Ketchel bouts, which
were among h greatest fights ever
staged owe the short route. 1t is not
likely that Milwaukee will ope till
late in September. when the clubs,
with the sanction of the commission,
will endeavor to uphold the good
name Of Milwaukee as a boxing CEN
