WOULD NOT MEAN
END OF BOXING
Governor Whitman Says Repeal OF

Stop New York Bouts.

TBy H. C. Hamilton, United Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Boxing fans
were somewhat surprised today to
Iearn through an interview from Gov
ernor Whitman. his belief that bill
to repeal tho Frawley boxing law IN
this state would not mean the emu
Of boxing.
Governor Whitman declared bouts
before members of clubs could not
be prevented. although he admitted
that il the "clubs" and their mem
bers became too numerous police
laws would be used to control them.
He asserted amateur bouts would
not be affected
1t has been the general belief that
the repeal of the law would put an
end to bouts of any class. No pro-
moter could be brought to see today,
however, that he would be able to
stage a bout that would bring In
many dollars without invoking the
laws of the state.

$4,000 FIGURE OFFERED

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-Groyer Cleve-
land Alexander, star pitcher OF the
Phillies. in demanding $4,000 sal
Rry from President w. F Baker, last
week was quoted as saying that ne
had made compact with Catcher Kill
lifer to hold out until their terms had
been accepted. Killifer issued de-
NAL Of Alexander's alleged statement
yesterday. He said he expected to
have 20 trouble with his employer
and that he wouldn't be guided by
Alexander's influence.
Killifer's case is interesting. Early
1911 i9f4 he jumped the Phillies and
signed a three-year contract with the
Chicago Federal league club at So
700 a year. His case was taken into
the courts with the result that his
services were awarded to the Phillies.
Baker then signed him for three
years at $4,000 and the contract ex-
PRED last fall.
Lost Use Of Arm.
m September, 1915, Killifer sud
denly lost the use Of his throwing
arm and did not play a game until
last June, but he received his salary
In full, the owners of the Phillies pay
ing the doctors bills.
The legal proceedings which kept
killifer away from the Federals
amounted to $4,000. which also was
paid by the Philadelphia club Kill
LITER. therefore, was an expensive lux
ury, although he could not catch Alex
ander in the 1915 worlds series.
President Baker recently sent a
SIS 900 contract to Killifer which COW
cred the seasons of 1917, 1918. 1919.
killifer naturally found fault with the
cut in his pay, but inasmuch as the
salaries Of the Phillies last year
amounted to 100000. actual figures,
Baker is determined to pay less money
to several of his players including
killffer. who it seems has been fairly
treated.
Case Is Different.
Alexander's case is somewhat diff
ferent, although his demand for $751;
GGG a year is considered unreasonable.
When the great pitcher was tempt
ed by Federal league offers three
years ago, Baker handed out blank
contract for three years, and told
Alexander to name his own terms. AS
result Alexander wrote $1,000 a year
into the contract, which was entirely
satisfactory to Baker. and Alexander
promptly declared that he was very
happy.
At the end Of each season he re-
ceived an extra $1,000 for winning
twenty-five games, while he shared In
the worlds series money of 1916.
Baker mailed a new three-year con-
tract to Alexander several weeks ago.
It called for $4,000 in salary and usual
81 900 bonus for twenty-five victories.
Alexander quickly replied that he
wouldn't sign for less than $4,000
year and a three-year contract
Johnson Highest SaIaried.
Walter Johnson of the Washington
club is the highest salaried pitcher in
baseball. He received s12,500 last
year. When the time comes to sign
again with Clark Griffith, Johnson will
be forced to accept substantial re-
.duction.
Alexander isn't worth dollar
more than Johnson has received. He
IS wonderful pitcher and fine fell
low. He Is highly regarded by Baker
and Pat Moran, and as soon as he ar
riyes in Philadelphia for a talk. there
IS no doubt that he will sign contract
