New York. Feb. THAT boxing can

of rowdyism, which at one time

There is every reason to believe that
1Q14L will witness a still, further in

The reports Of the New York state
athletic commission to the state auth
critics show boxing to be in q very

complaints are now heard as to the
manner of conducting them. The

Jack johnson has been able to retain
his position at the head of the heavy
