greatly by his team mates, whose

St Joseph's Y. NJ. A. A. Plans to Sc

Spring-Star Performers Invited.


Spring-Star Performers Invited.
Preliminary steps were taken at a
meeting of the directors Of st. Joseph
Young Mems A. A. last evening, to
increase the athletic membership of
the association to over 100 members.
Invitations have been sent out to ath-
letics in this city and state, who are
not members of a club, to align with
the local organization. White, for
mer Dartmouth star, has joined the
club, and J. P. O'Sullivan will soon
be eligible to compete under the asso-
cations colors. Efforts are being
made to secure Harry Peterson the
Viking A. c. all-around star to join
with the club. Another crack, the
club hopes to land, is Maurice Myers,
the old Exeter all-around star, who is
considering an offer to join.
The outdoor training will commence
shortly for the first meet of the sea-
son, that of the New Haven A. A. in
the Elm City, on Good Friday. An
invitation has been extended to the
club to attend the annual banquet of
the New Haven A. A. in that city next
Friday evening.

MAY PREVENT REPEAL
Judiciary Committee Considering Plan
Whereby Boxing May Be Saved in
New York State-Club Membership

Albany, Feb. 28.-The senate Judi
ciary committee yesterday considered
Senator Sleters bill to repeal the
Frawley boxing law, and after virtu-
ally deciding to report the measure
favorably, voted to postpone the re-
port until next week. This action was
taken, Chairman Walters of the COM
mittee explained later, to give some of
the members of the committee ad-
ditional time in which to consider
legislation less drastic.
Efforts of the legislative leaders
were directed toward bringing about
a compromise in the shape of a COM
panion bill, permitting the fight
licenses now in existence to remain
good until they naturally expire this
year, but preventing the athletic COM
mission from issuing any more. The
latter provision would become opera
tive as soon as the companion bill be-
came a law.
Senator Walters, chairman of the
judiciary committee, says the purpose
of the legislation now before his COM
mittee is to restore the boxing game
to the old order of things when ex-
hibitions were conducted under the
auspices Of clubs, whose members
alone were admitted and where no
admission fee was charged.
If the governor refuses to accept
this compromise, it is said, the legis-
lative leaders will be apt to leave the
law as it stands. as too much OPP
position has developed against abolish
ing boxing altogether in this state to
warrant pushing the Slater bill.
Senator Walters said the desired
amendments will be made upon the
floor Of the senate.
