Bout Between Al Reich
and CoHey R0useS Fans
Rated by Critics as Most
Fitting Candidates for
Boxing Crown Held
by Jess Willard.

Either AL Reich, one Of the 1e"
heavyweight boxers of ability pro-
duced in this city, or Jim Cofc9, the
raw-boned Irish Lad, known 20 boxing
enthusiasts as the Dublin Giant" may
be numbered among those who trled

two will meet in a ten-round bout al
Madison Square Garden tonight, and
great interest centres around the
match.

PROWESS WITH HAMMER
Columbia Man Makes Record
Breaking Throw in Practice.

By making a record breaking throw
in practice yesterday Duke Olmstesd
doomed up as a possible champion for
Columbia in the intercollegiate ham
mer throw contest at the annual games
to be held at Franklin Field. Olmstead
has been Columbia's mainstsy in the
hammer throw for two years, but his
best heave heretofore has not been
more than $50 feet. He tried a new
hold on the hammer yesterday, how
ever, and his best throw under the new
conditions was 1862 feet inches.
In addition to being contender for
honors in the hammer throw Olmstead
will probably get point or two in the
shotput. His best effort with the shot
this spring has been 43 feet inches.

FEDERAL ATHLETIC
CLUB ON The MAT
Called to Task by Boxing
Commission for Failure
to Pay State Tax.

The Federal Athletic Club, an organ
ization operating under the Frawley
law and promoting boxing contests at
the Atlantic Garden, on the Bowery,
fell afoul of the law yesterday. 1t was
charged at the regular meeting OF the
State Athletic Commission that the
club had neglected to forward to the
State Controller at Albany per cent
of the gross receipts of the boxing
show held there last week. For TINS
offence the State Athletic Commission
suspended the license until such time
as the club shall have complied with
the law.
Peter DImangO, secretary OF the
club. was summoned 10 appear before
the commission TO answer the charges.
II was said at the meeting that the
state tax amounted TO SID.
Section of the Frawley law says:
every club, corporation or association
which may hold or exercise any OF the
privileges conferred by this act shall,
within twenty-four hours after the de-
termination Of every contest, furnish
10 the commission written report,
duly verified by one of its officers,
showing the number of tickets sold
for such contest and the amount OF
the gross proceeds thereof, and such
other matters as the commission may
prescribe, and within said time pay TO
the State Controller 5 per cent OF its
total gross receipts from the sale OF
tickets OF admission" etc.
The law states in effect, also, that
any club failing TO make such report
or forward such tax may have It's
license revoked and its officers exam
ined under oath to find out the amount
Of the receipts on which taxes might
be collected.
1t also was charged that the club
management had sold tickets and failed
TO provide seats for the purchasers,
who could gain no redress.
On the night of the kilbane- Leon
ard bout spectators were crowded into
the building and stood five or six deep
back of the hall.
cit is time that the interests OF the
boxing enthusiasts were properly
guarded and that the State Athletic
Commission made an example OF some
of the lawbreaking promoters said
