The passing of the Hedding boxing
bill by both branches of the Wisconsin
legislature is gratifying to the boxing
fans of the state and to j. A. Heddlng
himself. The latter, like senator Fraw-
ley, of New York state, father Of the
New York boxing bill, has been a great
admirer of athletics of all kinds, in
Guiding boxing. and he made great
fight for the passage of the bill, once
he took hold of the matter Mr.. He'd
ding was one Of the stars Of the base
ball nine at Wisconsin university and
he has mixed in other lines or sport
so that he knew what he was talking
about when he tackled the boxing bill
The bill, which legaliZes boxing in
Wisconsin, is drawn after the New York
4 bill. although there are several amend
ments to it-al Of which should help
the game The sizes of gloves are
graduated according to the weights Of
the contestants. For instance boxers
under the 133 pound class must wear
nothing under five ounces, while those
under the middleweight limit Of 15S
pounds must don six ounce gloves, or
over. and those above the middleweight
limit must wear nothing less than seven
ounce gloves. It is a sensible move
and viii not hurt the game in any
way. The kidney blow, which has al
ways been obnoxious to most fans. is
also barred and referees will have to
be instructed on what constitutes
kidney blow
The commission plan. the same as in
New York is TO be followed and there
is no reason why it should not succeed.
The members Of the commission should
be men well Up in athletics and boxing
and who are familiar with such work
The clubs are obliged to pay over a Ii
cense and also five percent Of all re-
ceipts to the state, which means that
ali bouts will be under the supervision,
to certain extent. of the commission.
The clubs Will be obliged to go along
carefully and observe all the rules of
the commission.

n ROOKLYN, n z, July 1O-When
X owner Charles H Ebbets Of the
- Brooklyn National league base
ban club built a new plant to house
the Brooklyn fans it was eminently
fitting that manager Dahlen, who since
assuming the leadership in 1919 had
occupied a lower division berth,
should instiu into his charges the
spirit and dash to take a prominent
place in the penuant race, and thus
help to fill the big amphitheater with
enthusiastic fans.
KeenIy Feels Defeat.
To all appearances Dahlen is a
phlegmatic person on whom the cares
of q manager rest lightly, just as he
appeared to be a phlegmatic person
in his days Of greatest success while
pulling off wonderful fielding feats
from his position at shOrtstOp- But
when Dahlen talks Of his club and
other clubs IL is revealed that behind
his Indifferent exterior success is lust
as sweet and defeat just as bitter as
10 other managers.
William Frederick Dahlen was born
on Jan. 5, 1871, in Nelliston, n. Y
where his father was a contractor.
Several members Of his family are still
living In that city.
Bill attended the public schools Of
NellistOu and later the Clinton liberal
institute at Fort Plain. n. Y. He en-

" SEEMS only a few years back that
Art Slmms, the star lightweight, Of
\ Akron. o., was In the midst Of his
glory-a fire looking young man and
one who had many friends all through
the middle west Today he is for
gotten and an inmate Of the state In
sane asylum, at LassilOn, Ohio.
When the announcement appeared In
some of the papers that art Simms
had been committed to the insane asy-
F1m at. MassIOn, Ohio no one ever
gave it a second thought. Few, indeed,
thought it was the same Slmms, the
debonair young man who only short
period before had been attracting the
attention of all the sporting men OF
Chicago, and other western cities. But
Il was the same SimmS, who had
amused thousands OF fans by his clever
sparriug at some Of the biggest halls
in the country, and who at one time
looked like the next lightweight cham
piOn.
Back in 1856. when Lou Houseman
was running boxing shows at latter
sails in Chicago, Art Simms was
matched Up with q Chicago lad for the
semi-finaL He made good from the
with Ole Oleson, considered one of the
best Of the 1913 Founders and not far
behind Benny Lauger, who was a star
those days. Art fought Olsen and he
put up a grand battle, using his
cIeverness against the rough shOd
methods Of the stronger boy It re-
suited in many bouts for the Akron
lad and he fOurished for time, haV-
ing plenty Of matches and plenty Of
money.
Like many other young men, he spent
freely. but 1t must be said that Simms
was not a driuSer and he always liked
TO help those at home.
Tt was partly through Art Simms
that Battling Nelson was brought into
the limelght in 1904. Bat had pre-
viOusIy been matched before the
Badger A. c., Of Milwaukee, with Jack
O'Neiu. the Philadelphia star, whom he
beat. and the people began to take no
tfce of him. Then came his match with
Art Simms before the Milwaukee Ath-
letic club patrons. This was on Janu-
ary Is. 1904. and Bat put the Akron boy
away in three rounds. That helped

clubs from Rome, Utica and Little
Falls
Fsrst Job at $40 a Month.
In the latter part of 1889 Dahlen
signed with the semi-pro club of Cob
lesziH at a salary Of $50 per month.
The following year CObleskiu entered
the New York State league, but the
club busted" just before the close of
the season, and Dahlen finished with
Albany.
Young DahIen. who finished second
in the league batting averages, with
.342, was recommended to Cap Arson
OF the Chicago Nationals by Jim Bat
tin, a friend Of the veteran. who was
playing in the State league at that
In 1891 Dahlen played third base
and in the Outfield part OF the time
for the Chicago club, but the following
season was moved to shortstop- He
jumped into Immediate favor with the
fans by his fielding, batting and base
running, which included a sort OF
straddle slide with a twist of the body
away from the baseman, which he had
down to perfection.
In 1893 Dahlen was traded by Chi
cagO to Brooklyn for Gene DemOntre-
vile, recently a Southern league man
ager. In his last year at Chicago
Dahlen batted -29O and stole % bases.
In the winter preceding the season
Of 1904 Dahlen was traded to the New
York Giants for George Babb and
played under McGraw for four sea
sons. He then figured in the deal by
which McGaun, BOWerman, Browne
and Ferguson were traded to Boston
for Tenney and BridWeu.

tirement from active service, following
the season Of 1909. Dahlen returned to
Brooklyn as manager in 1910, a posi-
ton which he has since held.
