Considerable surprise was expressed
at the announcement that the boxing
shows conducted by Prof. Gus Troxler
had been stopped. Other clubs have
come and gone. but Troxler's enter
tainments have lived on. The bouts
at the Central Institute are Of only
four rounds duration and great care
has always been exercised to make
the matches interesting, though not
brutal. Only with trained boys who
have previously been given q private
tryout by Prof. Troxler, were allowed
to box. and one-sided matches were
never permitted 70 continue. The pa
irons of Troxlers were mostly bust
ness men, who rarely missed Mon
day night show, and who enjoyed the
exhibitions immensely.
@
The order TO stop boxing came from
the prosecutors office TO Chief Long,
who notified the professor that the
law was being disobeyed. There is
much gossip around town about the
why and the wherefore for the step.
Some say it is the beginning of a
moral wave which will eventually re-
suit in the closing of the baseball
games and the bicycle races on sun
day. There is more than little talk
along this line. Others say that
"squealers" who were stopped them
selves made complaint that they were
being Disseminated against. In any
event, boxing IS on the outside. and
we will have to wait awhile before we
will know for sure whether basebanl
and cycling viii be barred on sun
days.
When notified that his show sched-
uled for Monday night would not be
permitted, Professor Troxler had ar
ranged his entire card and tickets
for the bouts had been sold. The pro-
lessor said that the money would be
returned on request, but that he had
planned to have the boxers perform
in wrestling bouts. He declared he
would try this method. and IL it
proved encouraging he would put on
similar shows. Troxler teaches box
Ing, and the weekly shows were held
mostly for the benefit OF his pupils,
as we'll as for their entertainment.
The shows were well conducted and
