EW YORK. n. Y, Feb. Coy
Nj ernor Sulzer has thrown scare
- into the promoters Of prOfes-
sionaI boxing in this state. His ex-
ceuency threatens to ask the IegisIa-
ture to repeal the Frawley law unless
the character OF the sport Is improved
10 such an extent that it does not Of
fend the public morals. Governor Sui
ger claims to have evidence that ex-
hibitiOns frequently descend to the
level Of smuggling matches, and declares
that in the future all contests must be
conducted on a clean and scientific
basis; otherwise he viii wipe the Law
off the statute books entirely
II the governor win take the trouble

fident he viii find that there is no
call for such action on his part The
statement that boxing in New York has
oegenerated into brutal prize fight

no time in hhe history OF the ring

well knows, and a little Of the rough

I am afraid the governor has derived
his information from a source which,
10 put Il mildly, is too prejudiced to
be fair in representing the state Of
affairs. Barring a few miner features,
and which time alone will remedy, box

Geyer made the fatal mistake of
OVerWOrking himself the past two

1IcGOOrty has refused to box his pro-
tege, Jack McCarron, at the middle
weight limit Of 15S pounds ringside,
which, according to the lOQuaciOus
gent from the Quaker City, elimi-
mates Edward from the contest FOR the
title. 1t is my opinion that Eddie's
days for 15S ringside are over. That
he can not do himself justice at the
weight was demonstrated in the 10
round 90 with Mike Gibbons last De-
a creditable showing with a rugged
fighter such as Frank Klaus, or Jack
Dillon, at the middleWeight limit At
162. which is about his mark, it might
be different story.

Dan McRettrick, manager Of Joe
Jeanette, is now in France endeaTOr-
ing, ] understand, to have his boxer
substituted for Al Palzer in the pro-
posed heavyweight championship with
Jack Johnson next June. A letter from
Al Lippe, the American manager as
ISOLATED with the French promoters, in
forms me that there is not the slight
est chance for Jeanette, and that Nc
Kettricks errand viii prove fruitless.
Whatever else may be said of John
son he is far from a boob in a business
way. To expect him to consent to
the substitution Of the experienced and
dangerous Jeanette for the green Pal
ger is too absurd to be given a thought
by those who know the champion and
his methods
Even should the financial induce
ments be greater It is doubtful II
J ohnsOn would consent to box Jean
nette- It must be remem bered that he
has been out Of the ring for a long time
if we may except that little fracas with
jim Flynn last summer. and IL remains
to be seen If he retains much of his
former ability. AT any rate there is
no danger Of his taking on Jeanette
when he can command S25, 900 for a
bout with a novice
Willie Richie says he viii defend

Knockout Brown clash on Washington
birthday If nothing else can be said
In his favor Knockout is one Of the
most willing little mixers in the divis-
ion 1t matters not to the Dutchman
who his opponent may be- They all
look alike. to him; he does his best all
the time. When he boxed WOlgast in
Philadelphia and New York, k O."
was only a kid, but he did not let the
reputation of the champion scare him
IN the least.
Although Rivers can hardly be
classed as scientific boxer he is a mas
ter mechanic alongside of Brown
X O." knows only one thing and that
Is to keep slamming with his left;
winch IS his dangerous hand And
Rivers may find his akWard right
foot forward style hard to fathom for
a few rounds
note where Joe Mandot, who saw
Brown box in New Orleans, predicts
that k o. viii outgame and Outright
Rivers According to MandOt, the Mex
lean is strictly a front runner and
curls up when the other fellow beats
him to the punches. Which prompts
one to arise and inquire when and
where MondOt acquired this informa-
ton. He certainly did not take the ad-
vantage Of his knowledge of Rivers's
weakness in their Thanksgiving day
meeting. In that bout Rivers com
pletely outclassed the New Orleans
boy.
While Brown and Rivers will be ex-
changing compliments and punches at
Los Angeles MandOt and Tommy Muir
ply will entertain San Francisco sports.
Jim Coffroth has booked the boys for
his holiday card, and to judge from
the form Harlem Tommy displayed IN
the recent bout with frankie Burns
there Is huge surprise in store for
Mr. Mandot Despite his Is years in

MR.. FOX AND MIR. BEAR.

u X. fOh was hungry, but ne mac
M not laid up his stores for ths
N winter, as his neighbor. Mr.
Bear. had done. 80 when the
cold weather came he had to run over
the hills to the farms and run the risk
of being caught In the traps which the
farmers kept ready for him.
Mr.. Bear sleeps all winter; I don't
see that he needs the food he has stored
away" said Mr.. Fox one evening. when
II was unusually cold and stormy.
The more he thought the more he be-
came convinced that Mr.. Bear did not
need the food, and that 1t really did be-
long to him. So he changed his course
and went toward the home Of Mr.. Bear.
He walked very carefully around the
house and listened, but not sound did
he hear.
"He is asleep fast enough" he said.
Now 1 wonder where he keeps his
food"
Very carefully he opened the window
and slipped inside; everything was still
as could be, and Mr.. Fox shifted and
shifted, and presently he scented meat.
Now, Mr.. Bear knew that he slept
very soundly. and he also knew that
hie neiehbcrs knew this to be fact.
and they were apt to take advantage
of this and make a raid on his stores.
He was prepared for their visits. al
though they had not thought OF such
thing. fo- they were apt to tmnk
Mr.. Bear rather stupid. -
But MT. Bear had set trap. and this
tran was in the corner of his pantry.
He had a trap door which he covered
with straw, and under which he kept MS
stores. SO that when Mr.. Fox scented
the meat he went straight to the straw
and without thinking Of danger OF any
kind save the awakening OF Mr.. Bear
he stepped on the straw and down he
went into the cellar Of Mr.. Bears
house.
He howled as he fell and also pulled a
string. which was tied to some tinware
which Mr.. Bear had arranged for that
purpose.
Mr.. FOX howled and the tinware went
clattering after him making enough
noise to wake the dead and frightening
Mr.. Fox almost to death
Help! help! murder!" he called when
he landed at the bottom.
why don't You say thief. too?' said
Mr.. Bear, who had awakenea and was
looking down through the trap door.
THAT would be nearer to the truth, Mr..
Fox" -
'oh. is that you. Mr.. Bearr' asked
Mr.. Fox looking up.
