ENGLAND WANTS
BOXING LEAGUE


New York, Feb i.-Additional i'm .
retus in the movement toward the
formation Of an International boxing
organization for the control Of prorcs-
sional boxers has been furnished BY
the agitation in England for such a
body. The growing demand through
out the British Isles for an associa =
ton of this type clearly indicates the
present unsettled status of boxing.
since English sport followers, rs It
rule, are extremely conservative and
seldom sanction international sport
alliances. That an exception exists,
50 far as boxing is concerned, is evi-
dent from the many expressions of per
sonal ana press opinion as shown by
articles printed upon the subject.
AS an illustration, there may be quot
ed an appeal. printed in the London
Times, to American. French and Eng
fish sportsmen to organize a con
trolling body for boXing--a body that
would control the whole question Of
worlds championships and which
woN*d particularly decide how long
champion could hold "A title without
meeting Il man in his own class.
1T is high time" says the Times.
that cheap champions, men who
cvade meeting their superiors rs Ions
as possible, were deprived of the OPP
portunitl of refusing to defend their
titles fo, indefinite periods.
"In the matter of organizations -
that desirable end, the final word rests
with America foE, MS opposcrs of the
Olympic games are apt To forget, SUI
premacy i'm any form of athletes car
Iies with it the right of ultimate con-
troll. But if the National Sporting club
and French authorities were to form
ulatC a cooperative proposal and SUBJ
NIT il Ia the leading American clubs
no harm whatever would be done, and
he consequences might be invaluable
That such an organization is con-
is generally understood by
those directly Interested in bong, both
in this country and abroad. Progress.
however. is extremely GLOW, since there
are few, if any, associations with eth
Cr legal or ethical right to act as
sponsors for the movement. The sub
iect has been frequently discussed in
an informal way by Hugh Mcintosh of
Australia, Victor Breyer of France, n.
+. Bettinson of England and Charles
Harvey of this country, but no defin-
tie plan of campaign has yet been
selected. Harvey, who is secretary of
the New York athletic commission and
an authority on boxing, said recently:
at is far more difficult to form such
a body thar was the case in track and
iad athletics. tennis, fencing and other
sports. where there preiously existed |
national governing bodies.

The Lucky Penny

The idea of a childs lucky penny
originated with Postmaster Holbell,
of Charlottenlund. Denmark, who
wished TO assist the needy blind.
The movement has spread to Norway
and Sweden
The lucky pennies first issued by
the royal mint in Denmark We're
made Of pure bronze, which soon tar
nished, and were supplanted by dur
able gilt coins, of which 10000 have
been minted ut a cost of 2 ore (0.536
cent? each. The box costs IL ore
(O.402 cent?, and the gliding and ring
attached II ore (2.94S cents). The
penny bears the profile of the queen
and on the reverse side the word
Luck" with space to engrave the
child's name. At each birth the mid
wife presents the child's lucky penny
to the father, who pays any price he
chooses, which enables the poorest
child TO acquire it. The average in
come is one crown (s0.26S) per penny.

CHICAGO WOMEN
BEATEN AT POLLS.
Lose in All Ward Fights.
"Bathhouse" John Gets Ma
iority of Female Votes.

CHICAGO, April S.-Although sew
women registered took advantage of
their newly gained franchise at yes
terdays municipal election, none of
the nine women candidates for the
City Council was successful, receiving
only scattered vote. Alderman John
(Bathhouse) Coughlin, who for a score
of years has presided in the First
ward, won by nearly 1000 votes over
Miss Marion Drake, a court stem
ographer. He received more female
votes than Miss Drake
The vote in Chicago totaled nearly a
half million. Out OF a total of 217, GA

manic candidate in each of the thirty
five wards. In most of the wards the
socialist vote was third, and in one
ward, the Twenty seventh, in the
Northwestern part OF the city, their
candidate took second place. The
total vote polled by the Socialist
candidates was $4,000.
Council Remains Democratic.
The new council will be Democratic,
as 1t has been for the last several
years. OF the successful candidates,
only sixteen served in the last city
council. OF the new council, forty
will be Democrats and twenty-one
Republicans, six Progressives and
three independents

10000 votes. Another public policy
question providing for home rule in
the regulation of public utilities was
successful by a majority of 1900.
Five bond issues totaling $S,350000
Tor city departments and the county
hospital were defeated by large ma
torities. One bond issue providing
$S5O.O0O for municipal bathing beach
improvements was successful.
Comment by SutfragIsts.
Following the closing of the polls
suffrage leaders made the following
comments:
Miss Marion II. Drake, who opposed
Bath House John Coughlin: THE
campaign has shown up conditions in
the ward, and 1 think 1t must be oh
vious to citizens all over the metropo-
lis that change in the government
is needed. The one bright spot for
me is that have saved one soul from
white slavery and sent to jail three
men who deal in commercialized
vice"
Miss Jane Adams: THE women
have certainly more than justified
their possession of the ballot"
Mrs. ella Flagg; 1.-THE events of
today have shown that there can be
no question as to the justification of
adding womankind to the number of
voters"
