Every blow against sport is blow
against Newark. If the boys are
unable to be entertained over here
they viii go to New York. where the
laws protect the citizens against
prosecutors. Boxing is a favorite
sport in this town and the Troxler
shows furnished enough enjoyment
to please a good many. Closing
down the lid simply means another
case of driving people out OF New
ark and compelling them to spend
their money in New York for their
entertainment. If baseball and
cycling are stopped on Sunday, New
York will benefit to an even greater
extent. From what one hears we
may have plenty of time in the
future to twiddle our thumbs and be
goody-goody boys.

years of age, has had many man
ayers In discussing his numerous
bosses today he said he had had six
managers within year. Just a year
ago he met Battling Levinsky in his
first big bout, and he says he has
made more money in the past twelve
months than he could earn at his
trade in five years. He seems to
think that he will get on we'll with
Johnston doing his business. He adj
mits now that he made a big mistake
in taking on Jack Dillon and realizes
that he ought to have made big
money after his victory over Jim
