pretty young daughter of W. c. Yoe-

CLUBS NOT ALLOWED
TO STAGE BOXING SHOWS,
BELIEF OF JEFF M'cARN

Rumors have been in circulation the
last few days to the effect that box
ing club is planned to eyade the feder-
al statute under which U. s. District
Attorney Jeff McCarn has put the ban
on sparring contests in this territory,
Informed of the story and question
ed concerning his position on the sub
iect, McCarn said this morning:
The federal law does not permit
me to interfere with boxing exhibit
ton where there is no championship
of any kind. no prize, belt or money
at stake, or where no admission or
fee is charged, directly or indirectly.
Under such a condition / could say
nothing il two men boxed before an
audience of 10000 people.
But that word, indirectly means a
great deal. 1t means, as | interpret
the statute, that no regular dues can
be charged members. Isbelieve any
club which assesses a regular month
ly fee or charges a certain fee for
admission of new members. comes
within the federal law, and could not
legally conduct fistic exhibition"
His attention wa8 called to the fact
that a local fraternal order has staged
at least two such exhibitions since he
assumed the duties of his office here.
1t is generally understood this organ
ization requires regular dues of its
members. He made no comment on
this matter, however.
