INTERNATIONAL
PAL BROWN TO MAKE
MONEY IN AUSTRALIA
(By p. S. Andrewsl

The 1ega1iZing of boxing in states
and the inauguration of the commits
sion plan of handling the same is a
good thing for the sport It is hoped
that more states will follow the pace
set by New York, Wisconsin, Montana
Coloroda and Utah. Boxers who have
been in the habit of making and
breaking contracts to suit themselves
find where the commission operates
that they can not do SO any longer.
Last week the New Orleans Athletic
club had made a match between
Young Denny Of that city and Billy
Walters of Chicago. The latter, it
was claimed, ignored the southern
agreement and prepared to take on q
match at Kenosha, wis. However, the
New Orleans matchmaker, D. j. Tor
toich, took the matter up with the
Wisconsin commission and the latter
was ready to take some action when
the manager of Walters fixed up for
another date and thus prevented any
interference. There is no reason why
the different states should not work
together in the uplifting of the game
and have agreements covering just such
points the New Orleans affair. Box
ers would soon learn to live up to
their agreements. The same should
also apply to clubs breaking agree
ments with fighters.

teresting, especially where Yankee
boxers are Interested The fo1lowing

here and would have some big matches

Starnes Approves Y M c. A. Songs Reform
CALLS "RAG DRUG OF ART

DR.. Percy ). Starnes, city organist
today expressed approval of the ma
tion-wide movement ina ,gurated by
the Y. NJ. c. a. to place the ban on
certain ragtime songs.
Other We'll known Atlantans voiced
differing opinions, showing that rag
time has its champions as well as It's
enemies.
DR.. Starnes discussed the subject at
some length. He said:
Sir George Grove in his great Die
ton Of Music and Musicians thus de-
fines ragtime:
"A modern term, of American ORR
gin. signifying, in the first instance,
broken rhythm in melody. especially
sort of continuous syncopation Rag
time tunes is name given in the
States to those airs which are usually
associated with the so-called coon
songs or lyrics, which are supposed to
depict negro life in modern America. ;
There is of course, no doubt of the
popularity of ragtime music among a
certain class of American people. a
fact which nevertheless is most diff
cult to account for in view of its ex-
asperating monotony-for it is all more
or less alike, and to people so fond OF
novelty as are the citizens of the Unit
ed States, this seems the more incom-
prehensible.
Still the ragtlme is with us, and APP
parently, has come to stay.
There can be no possible doubt OF
the great hindrance to musical devel-
opment among the classes, and the
musical degeneracy it occasions with
the young, for it is a matter of common
knowledge that once it's insidious
strains are allowed to become a habit,
it means goodbye to the higher forms
of the art.
Il regard ragtime as the opium and
cocaine of musical life, and feel that
it is an evil that every righteous must
clan has to combat"
The local Y. NJ. c. A. has not consid-
cred formally joining in the movement;
in fact, it was stated today by a di-
rector of the local association, it has
no particular attitude toward the pop
ular, easy-swinging, quick-time songs
and airs which long go were dubbed
ragtime.
Some of the members of the local
body are said to greatly enjoy it.
Others are declared to hold but little
resentment against it. A few undoubt-
eddy abhor it.
