BOXING ON COAST
IN EARLY DEMISE
Law Which Permitted Sport
Knocked Out by Califor-
MIA Referendum.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 1. - Pro
fess:onal boxing in San Francisco and
throughout the state of California is
nearing its demise and those who fol
low the sport can see only gloom ahead.
II was only a short time ago-Nov. 3
to be definite-at the annual election
that boxing was put to a state vote
referendum and met its fate, the law
which for years permitted the sport
being beaten by a fair margin. The
new law will go into effect about Dec.
is and thereafter the fighting men
must find another stamping ground.
Efforts will be made by the boxing
fraternity. however, to secure a favor
able law with commission control as in
New York and Wisconsin.
For years California has been
known as the greatest state for boxing
in the country. Here 20 round contests
TO decisions have been allowed when
it was impossible to hold such
matches in any other state in the I'M
ion. Some of the greatest battles in
the history of pugilism have been de-
cided on California soil.
San Francisco has been one of the
greatest boxing cities in the state, for
with twenty round bouts to decisions
allowed. it has been possible TO stage
worlds championships with the best
talent in the world contesting. The
contests here have been held under
the direct supervision of the police
committee of the board of supervisors,
who have had the power to grant per-
mits TO the promoters. Police author
tiles have attended all bOutS with full
to stop any contest at their
discretion. This authority has been
exercised frequently.

PUT ON BIC BILL
AT POPULAR PRICE
Milwaukee Fight Fans Given
Their Moneys Worth
in Three Bouts.

Milwaukee, Dec. IA great fight
program at popular prices drew fair
crowd to Frank Mulkern's Dreamland
arena last night, and as advertisement
for popular-priced fighting it was a
great success. Nobody ever paid SO
and got as much as Johnny Ertle and
Frank Izzo gave the crowd for 50. The
Ertle-Izzo battle was the fastest thing
ever put on in this part of the country,
and, although Ertle won by a shade,
Izzo's exhibition was such that return
match is a necessity. Milwaukee pro-
moters ought to fight for this match.
The wind-up, between the much
talked-of Willie Beecher and Tommy
Gary, was somewhat disappointing, in
asmuch as the difference in weight
makes it hard to tell just how these
boys would stack up at 1875 pounds,
which was the advertised notch.
Beecher scaled at IA at o'clock.
Gary was down to 1875 and, although
he was beaten decisively, he need not
be at all ashamed of his exhibition.
He ate up terrific punishment, and in
the tenth round, groggy but game, he
made a spectacular effort to rally and
land a haymaker on the easterner.

CARPENTER NOT HURT;
STUDENT OF AVIATION

New York, Dec. Georges Carpen-
tier. idol of the French boxing world,
is not in a hospital suffering from a
wound in the breast, nor has he en-
posed hin"elf to the bullets of the
enemy. according to information re-
ceived here by Dan McKettrick.
The French army officers think too
highly of their best boxer to thus ex-
pose him TO danger, but they think
enough of the example he might in.
spire in other young Frenchmen to be
willing the stories should be circu-
lated.
To Carpenters credit, however, he
enlisted, expecting to go TO the front.
and possibly even now does not un,

him TO an army hospital supposed to
be suffering from tonsilitis and later
directed him TO : camp to study avia-
ton.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec Maui
betsch, the Michigan halfback, hits a
| line harder than any man who has
! played on an eastern gridiron for ten
years. II didn't seem possible, in the
minds of the eastern football enthus-
lasts, for a man to smash into a line
of human bodies with the force that
Maulbetsch does and come out of the
game without q broken neck.
The way that Maulbatsch rammed
the husky Harvard line, in that Har-
ward Michigan game, will be talked
about in eastern football circles for
many years to come.
The east had been prepared to see
in Maulbetsch a good line smasher,
but didn't expect to see miraculous
plunging halfback, such as Maui
betsch proved himself to be.
In that game against Harvard,
Michigan gained almost twice as
much ground as did Harvard, and
Maulbetsch did four-fifths of the
ground gaining for the western
eleven. Never since the days of
Heston has anyone witnessed buck
ing of the kind that Maulbetsch
showed during the first period of
NAAdI edAAlC anu SlbaAlA III Tic I'LL
period. His gains weren't puny one
and two-yard affairs. They ranged
from five to twelve yards almost
every time he carried the ball.
The Human Bullet as Maui
betsch is called, hits line lower
than most back field men now in the
game. Probably that's the reason
that he makes such consistent and
tremendous gains when he hurls him
self at a line. When the ball is
snapped to him he almost doubles
himself up, and, with his head aimed
at the knees of the opposing line, he
dives head first.
Those who have seen Maulbetsch |
in action marvel at the great mo- |
mentum he can get up in two or
three steps. Usually when center
snaps back the ball, Maulbetsch is a
few feet behind the quarterback. At
the moment the ball Is snapped he
plunges forward. Two steps and
the ball is in his arms and then he
dives. Several times during the Har-
ward game his dives had so much
power that he dove right through a
double line of crimson players and
went sprawling on the ground twelve
TO twenty feet clear of double line.
