"AMATEURS AND MEMBERS
CAN STILL BOXo-WHITMAN
New York Governor Says No-Admission
Boxing Matches Can
Survive

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.--Boxng fans were
somewhat surprised today to learn through
an interview from Governor Whitman his
belief that a bill to repeal the Frawley
boxing law in this State would not mean
the end of boxing.
Governor Whitman declared bouts before
members OF clubs could not be prevented
although he admitted that If the clubs
and their members became too numerous
police laws would be used to control them.
lie asserted amateur bouts would not be
affected. 1t had been the general belief
that the repeal of the law would put an
end to bouts of any class. No promoter
could be brought to see today, however
that he would be able to stage a bout that
would bring in many dollars without in
voking the laws of the State
TRENTON, Feb. "A boxing bill much
similar to the Frawley law which governs
boxing in this State, only calling for bouts
limited to six rounds, has been introduced
by Assemblyman Joseph Hurley, of Hud-
son County. in the New Jersey Assembly
and will be sponsored in the Senate by
Senator Cornelius McGlennon. The bill will
receive its first reading in the Assembly
next Monday.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3-Grant Hugh
Browne called at the offices of the Boxing
Commission yesterday and made formal ap-
plication for license to conduct boxing
bouts in Madison Square Garden. He said
he was going right ahead with the Fulton
Weinert match on February 12 and the
Darcy-McCoy bout on March 8 as though
no message for repeal of the Frawley
law had been sent to the Legislature.

BOUT IS DRAW
Middleweights Box Six Slow
Rounds at Opening of
New Cambria A. G..
PAT O'MALLEY IS A HERO
BY ROBERT w. MAXWELL

JEFF Smith. who claims to have knocked
out Les Darcy once upon time in far-off
Australia, boxed slow, uninteresting draw
with Joe BOrrell, who never met Darcy. at
the debut of the Cambria A. A. last night.
If any one was entitled to the decision il
was Eddie Holland the referee. who per-
formed beautifully in every round Eddie
sidestepped, lodged and broke ceanly after
every exchange of punches and was all
used up at the end. This could not be said
of either boxer,
In justice to Smith. however allow us
to state that he handicapped by a
pair of very bad hands, and they panied
so much that he couldn't land any effective
blows: Something must have been wrong,
because he did not use them much on Bor-
rel He directed his attack chiefly to the
body and seldom led for the head, unless
he had good chance to land on the proper
spot, Smith is a clever boXer--one of the
cleNerest big men we have ever seen-and
perhaps he would have done better had he
been in shape
Smith Is Clever
But this does not detract from Burrell's
showing Joe forced the fighting after the
third round but Smiths defense was i'm
pregnable They wrested and hugged most
of the time, and although there was con-
siderable infghting, the crowd did not like
it. In the fifth round a chorus of Throw
'em out - was started In the gallery, but the
opinion Of these experts was not taken se-
rously If Smith recovers soon a return
match would allow him to show to better ad-
vantage.
The other bouts were so good that. the
wnd-up seemed slow and cumbersome That
the real cause of the displeasure of the
fans. They had enjoyed themselves SO
much during the prelims that 1t would have
taken a sensational wind.up to satisfy them

BY far the best bout OF the evening was
the second, which brought together Pat

Eastern Fight Close

Judging from the play to date, the SEQ
ond half OF the season promises TO be
hummer First one club is on top and then
another and there is no telling who will
jump out front next. The Skeeters started
on great and Trenton poorly but the double
defeat sustained by Henry's players on Mon
day and Wednesday and the Potters' win
have reversed conditions and in the short
space of week these rivals are on even
terms, with conditions reversed. Trenton
is playing sensational ball and Camden is
putting up poor exhibition.

Camden a score of years ago was discuss

JOHNNY sUNFLoWERsEED."

Most of us have heard of Johnny Appleseed" Few, however know who he was and what he did He a kindly vagrant who three generations wan dered about Ohio living diet consisting chiefly of apples, and carefully planting the seeds.
 Loving apples himself, he figured that he owed some thing posery every apple he enjoyed He planted alongside the highways and when there were nc roads he planted them beside paths and trails. How many thousands since have proted unknowng from his simple benefaction!
 The Springfield (Mass) Republican now proposes to part the present campaign for increasing the na tions food supply But it isn't to be appeseeds now We haven't time to wait for apples It's sunfowerseeds
 The sunfower only attractive roadside orna- ment extremely useful plant because of the value of its seeds for poultry feed plentiful of sul flowers would presumably increase and cheapen the supply poultry and eggs So the Republican proposes automobists of the country shall conduct then selves as itineran Johnny Sunfowerseeds, carrying supply of the seeds with them planting them along the highway whenever they happen to stop for any reason.
 Once planted the sunfowers will take of them selves In the fall it is expected, somebody who keeps chickens will along and gather the seed, and in due time the automoblists good deed will back to him his neighbors in the form of fresh eggs and fried chicken
 It sounds rather quixotic, to be But isn't it kindly wholesome human thing to do? And automobil- sts. who mostly kindly, lot with touch of imagination just the sort of people to do it.

Not the least important part of the United States Bisbee-promises to into of the front ranks in the subscriptions the Liberty Loan. The appeal of the secretary of the treasury, William A.

 Local banks have been importuned by the secretary of the treasury have responded kind It is not what of bonds will be taken here Certain it is. however that the amount will not be small.
 The people of the Warren District have had nearly two years of unexpected prosperity If man in the community who is broke it is because they ignored the sign of the times and did not lay something by for time of need There has been money to spare in this camp for months Many have profted to a large by the nations prosperity. Others have merely saved Now the time when those savings may be of great service to the country.
 It is time of If money has been saved it is to good purpose Moreover it is safe The Liberty Loan can be looked upon angles either of which is sufficient to induce everyone to invest.

Because have on American so is sign that the need for the maximum of preparedness is hand One item of that pre- paredness be in the of dollars and cents.
 America is overhowing with money. It is of the few things the country of which there is plenty large part the Liberty Loan will in this try It is merely credit which the nation is extending itself allies. The nation needs the money Without the nation money is of value The pros pery the country the very life of its people pre- dicted upon the success of present undertaking It is patriotic act to buy a Liberty Bond
