Here and There in the World Of Sports--Winter Season Gossip
CON1MEN

Many Americans will condemn the
action of the New York Yacht club
in rejecting Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenge for a series of races for the
america cup. next year.. The only
reason given by the officers of the club
Is the fact that the Irish haronet en-
deavored to limit the size of the
yachts competing to not more than
seventy-f1ve feet length, on the water
line. which would mean probably 40
or liz feet on deck. The yacht club
insists upon freedom to use a de-
fender Of any length not less than
sixty-fve feet or more than ninety
feet on the water line.
the highest class this break in the me-
gotiations for a series of cup races
will be a great disappointment, and
the country will find the explanation
given very unsatisfactory. It does not
matter what the reason for the action
Of the New York Yacht club may be,
as far as public sentiment is concern
ed.
The general feeling will be that aft
er the long series of victories for
American yachts. always with the adj
vantage of racing in home waters and
freed from h necessity Of crossing
the Atlantic under sail, 1t would have
been only reasonable and right to let
Sir Thomas Upton have his way about
cutting down the possible size of the
yachts to be used in the next contest
for the yachting championship Of the
world.
In this ase the club which holds
the most famous trophy ever raced for
by pleasure craft of any kind appears
to be narrow and unduly inclined to
insist upon every possible advantage

By VI. J.. Wathey.

Chicago. March 17.-An unusual
wave of interest in boxing is thread
ing this country at the present time
and Is paving the way for a revival
of the game. In almost half of the
states in the union the authorities
pared to welcome a bill thai will le-
galize boxing.
Montana has legalized twelve-round
bouts under a commission form Of con
troll. The legislatures of Illinois. Wis
consin. Minnesota. Utah. New Jersey.
Nebraska. Missouri and Michigan nave
bills before committees which may
become state statutes.
In California, Nevada, Louisiana,
Ohio, New York. Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts. Rhode Island. Tennessee,
Kentucky, Wisconsin and Michigan
bouts are staged regularly. although
the blue laws Of these states are ad-
verse to h game. In but two states
have bills been introduced recently
that have failed to gain attention,
these being Colorado and New Mex
leo.
Those who have studied the Fraw-
ley law under which boxing is con-
ttrolled by the state officials Of New
York, are Of the opinion that the law
Is as near perfect as a boxing law
can be. All the other states have
shaped their bills after the Frawley
law. IF the measures become laws
the boxing game will be under the su-
pervision of officials in almost every
state in the union.
The SUCCESS of the F'rawley law I'M
doubtedly has gone farther in paving
the way for the revival OF interest in
boxing than any other item. New
York has received many thousand dol
lars since they began collecting the
five per cent Of the gross receipts rev.
enue and the game has been kept
clean" and above faint. This has
convinced lawmakers in other ccm-
munities that boxing can be legalized
and staged without flakes" and has
prompted the bills that are now be-
fore the many legislatures.
The boxing fans of the country are
more interested in the bill before the
Illinois legislature than any other for
the reason that Chicago. when boxing
was recognized. practically was the
headquarters of the game in this coun-
try. That Chicago again will take
it's place in the front ranks II the
game is legalized is a foregoing con-
clusion.
Boxers in Illinois are optimistic
son. Lieutenant Governor O'Hara,
Speaker of the House Mckinley and
other officials of Illinois and Chicago
have come out as boosters Of boxing.
There are those who will say that the
bill is sure to become a law and that
the boxing game will be reopened be-
fore September. With these men Of
influence behind the movement to re-
establish boxing the prospects appear
brighter.
California. officials have kept the
boxing game clean" in their state and
have allowed the game to run wide
open at all times. In San Francisco
a committee OF city councilmen have
charge of the permits that allow the
staging Of bouts. and these men give
the different promoters a certain num-
Der of permits each year. F%our-round
bouts are numberous. but even for
these short bouts it is necessary to get
