Boxing GAME SURE
OF BOOST IN 1917
Bills Are Being Introduced Throughout
Country to Legalize Fistic
Encounters.

Chicago, Jan. CHOKING. given black
eye in days gone by because OF the shady
actions of its edherents, may come into
its own in 1917.
Already in five States-Illinois. Mis-
souri,. California, Michigan and Nebraska
bills have been introduced to legalize
the game of fsticuffs. and there is every
indication that they will pass
In Illinois Col. Garrity, of the Second
Illinois Infantry. impressed by the sue
cess of boxing among the men while on
border duty, is behind a measure to grant
boxing to the cities of the State under
proper restrictions.
In Missouri, where boxing in limited
number of rounds already is permitted.
"a measure has been offered to raise the
limit to twenty rounds. It is fostered
by DR.. c. w. Westerman, chairman of
the st. Louis Boxing Commission. In St.
Louis twelve-round contests, under po-
lice supervision and without decisions,
are in vogue. In Kansas City and St
Joseph fifteen rounds to a decision are
permitted or barred, according to wheth-
er the police administrations are favor
able or unfavorable In Joplin short con-
tests to a decision are put on. The West
erman bill would make all parts OF the
State equal
vides for a State Boxing Commission and
ten-round bouts conducted by regularly
incorporated clubs. The remainder of
the commissions receipts above actual
expenses would go to the mothers pen
sion fund.
Nebraska solons are said to look favor
ably upon the measure offered by Gene
Melady, the Omaha promoter. which
would make boxing legal under State su-
pervision. The bill also would eliminate
the guarantee and make each fighter box
on percentage.
Conditions In Michigan are peculiar, and
over-eagerness on the part of the pro-
moters may spoil the chances. During
the administration OF Gov. Ferris both
houses Of the legislature passed a measure
legalizing boxing. When the measure
| reached the governor II promptly was
vetoed. Boxing enthusiasts were leading
opponents of the reelection OF Gov. Fer
ris and supported the new executive, A.
E. Sleeper, who is said to look favorably
upon glove contests.
The promoters, however, took too much
! for granted. and no sooner had Gov.
Sleeper taken Office than they began stag
| ing bouts all over the States, whereupon
the governor instructed the sheriffs to
clamp the lid on and keep 1t on until such
time as the sport had been made lawful.
Minnesota is in danger of losing the
game as a result OF the boxing commits
sion's Interpretation of the law passed
two years ago. George Moeller, a repre-
sentative and author OF the law, intended
that the entire State should be permitted
| to stage bouts, but the commission con-
| strued II to apply only to st. Paul, Min
| neapolis and Duluth, and Moeller, anger
ed at what he believes unfair rulings, Is
asking a repeal of the law.

Dillon HAS met Lad
Equal TO HIS Sting
Billy Miske Can Hit as Hard as the
Hoosier Bearcat.

New York, Jan. N.-Jack Dillon has
met a lad the equal OF his mettle In Billy
Miske. The first boxer Dillon ever faced
who proved himself capable Of standing
up and exchanging wallop for wailop
with the Hoosier Bearcat was Bat Le-
whisky. The Battler, like Miske, is tall
and shifty. He can hit and he will mix
1t in close quarters. Aliske is just as
tough for Dillon as Levinsky ever was,
and over the 1o-round route there Is really
nothing TO choose between the two.
II is the belief of the writer that any
time the two husky, willing scrappers are
standing toe to toe, appear strong on
their feet and are mixing il like a couple
of wildcats at the bell which brings
their battle to an end. draw is the fair
est decision that can he rendered. We
do not mean by this that the showing Of
two boys in the last round influences our
opinion. but as a rule a strong finish by
two fighters who have been hammering
each other all the way indicates that one
has little or nothing on the other. re-
eardless OF a few more points TO the
credit OF either man.
We have seen Jack Dillon and Billy
Miske in both OF their battles in Brook
lyn. And Il is our belief that neither
will be able to score a decisive victory
over the 1o-round route. Miske is the best
at long range and Dillon the master in
close quarters. Miske scores coming into
close quarters. Dillon scores with just as
much effect at close range
In their second battle at the Broad
way Sporting Club both lads landed some
terrific punches. oh, boys, how they
can hit!
Miske's long pile drivers were plunged
into Dillon's midrin and TO his head many
times. Dillon's shorter shots found the
Miske jaw and stomach with rapid-ffre
precision every time they came together.
Miskes height gives him a slight ad-
vantage in roughing It at times, but when
stung Dillon is without doubt the rough
est customer we have ever seen.
1t would be a treat worth going miles
to see should these two lads be matched
over the long route. In % rounds they
would do more fighting than any other
pair Of battlers In the business, and there
is not a doubt that such a battle would
be desperate one from start to finish.
The long route is the only way to settle
the supremacy between them.

did Pete HERMANN
BEST Kid WILLIAMS?
Southern Sports Disagree Over Billy
Rocap's Decision Against Champ.

Even down in New Orleans. where they
are strong for the South and all things
Southern, there is some doubt Of the lust
ness OF the decision OF Referee Billy Ro-
cap. of Philadelphia, in awarding the
bantam-weight crown of Kid Williams,
of Baltimore, to Pete Hermann. of New
Orleans, after their twenty-round mill
The papers generally expressed surprise
over the decision and frankly doubted
whether Hermann was entitled to any
more than a draw at best
Recap, in a statement issued imme-
diately after the decision had been Kissed
and he had been booed in three of the
city's leading hotels, declared that he
based the award on the fact that Her
mann beat Williams to most Of the leads
and the effect OF the Southerner's blows.
Williams, he said, landed often and hard
on the body. but he asserted 1t required
no skill to do that
Those who saw the fight declare that
Hermann displayed a surprising lack of
aggressiveness, that after a minute or
so Of whirlwind fighting he invariably
sought cover and did not follow up his
two knockdowns of the champion. II
might be mentioned that when the pair
met year ago Recap was the third
man In the ring and gave Williams the
decision when all the spectators believed
Hermann was entitled to it.
However, all arguments aside. He,-
mann now is champion by virtue of
the decision. 1t would be only fair
that he give Williams a return battle
at an early opportunity, although he
declares he will not defend his title
for at least a year. He plans to pick
of some of the grapes from vaude-
vile engagements, and Williams, i.Kew.
pie Ertle and frankie Burns, as we'll
as other championship aspirants: will
have to wait until he is ready to NEE,
them.
Incidentally, a little sideIisht on how
the new king acts in the ring should
be interesting In view of the fact tha.
outside of a few short enRasements
In the East. which failed to attract ar
tention. he has not displayed his wares
in many places outside of his hon,
city. Red" Dolan, now Of Chicago. b,,t
who often boxed with Pete while down
South, has this to say of him:
He is a wonderful two-handed fshter
He started as a bootblack and aco,,irad
reputation as a good boy in rough
and tumble scraps before he actually he
came a pugilist. Like his countrynan
Johnny Dundee, Herman is a reruIa,
jumping-jack in the ring When he frs,
started Frankie Burns stopped him in
twelve rounds, and that has been his
only serious setback. He Is a whale In
distance fight, and the longer he goes
the better he seems to get"
In case there is any curiosity abo,I.
it. Herman's right name is Pete,
Gullato.

CITY COLLEGE FIVE
LOSE TO CENTRAL

Baltimore City College presented
well-balanced basketball team in Central
gym last night, but Central nosed out a
victory by 16 to Is.
Central started out with a dash that
surprised the visitors and put the Blue
and White in the lead in the first few
minutes of play. In the first half the
high school boys registered four baskets
to the Monumentals' two. Daily outshot
his rival. II. Bergel. from the foul line,
as he Gagged three out of four to Bergers
three out of five.
The Baltimore City College boys had a
whirlwind defense that was hard for the
school boys to penetrate, and they were
able to cage few baskets from the floor
during the second half, each team getting
two baskets from the floor. City College
was not able to overcome Centrars lead
which was gained in the first half.
Tjne-uO and summary:

MAGNATES ARE NOT
OVERLOOKING BETS
Any Time There Is a Dividend They
Want Some.

New York, Jan. H.-Basebau players
may boot chances In a game of ball, but
the baseball mags are not overlooking
any bets, believe us.
Any time there is a noise like a divi-
dend the mags pounce upon the chance
to collect. and the very latest plan Of a
number OF big league club owners TO grab
the elusive" will be put into action this
spring.
Not to be outdone by the msgs Of the
American Association and the InternA-
tional League. who have planned an
interleague series to be played after the
working out Of their regular schedules,
the big boys have cooked UP string OF
Interiesgue spring series which they be-
neve will go big.
Some time ago the New York Giants
and Detroit Tigers agreed TO play eIhibi-
tion games between themselves in TeIak
and continue the prolonged series on their
way North. Shortly after this plan was
announced the Yankees and Braves got
together and a like plan was haJched.
Last but not least Chubby Chswles
Ebbets OF the Dodgers, conceived the
idea that a revival OF the 1914 worlds
series between the Dodgers and White
So1 ought to lure the shiny shekels to
the gates in minor league parks. He put
the plan up 70 Harry Frazee. Of the Red
COAs anu as lnt Aho ASeAlLs ait elaeoo ~
do their spring training at Hot Springs,
Ark. there appears to be nothing like a
stumbling block for the series.
Whether Fbbets has secret hopes of
getting revenge for the drubbing these
aforesaid Red SoX gave his Dodgers last
fall will probably remain a mystery. But
the idea OF giving the minor league fans
& chance to see the performers Of the last
big worlds classic in action against each
other is a humdinger. At least Mr.. Eb-
bets admits that such is the case.

The National Associations of Golf and
Tennis have for years been trying to de-
fine an amateur-and have not met with
any success because every move toward
the Tightening Of the amateur clause has
hit some popular player who earns his
daily bread through his connection with
some sporting goods house
The Amateur Athletic Union defines an
amateur clearly-and then tries 10 duck
from under. The definition IL lived up
to in some sections and In more others
1t is not Influence has a great deal to
do with whether an athlete remains an
amateur or Is declared a professional
1 speak from experience-for ] know.
1t would pay some OF the organizations
that are trying to define amateurism to
delve into the trapshooting rules and
purloin a few pages from the books Of
the Interstate Association for the En-
oouragement of Trapshooting. Here is
an association that handles In the neigh
borhood of half million trapshooters
annually without any registration and
has less friction and complaint than or
ganizations dealing with a half dozen
persons.
The Interstate Association makes a
ruling on amateurs and professionals and
lives up to 1t. Some years ago 1t wasn't
very severe. 1t has been frightened each
year, ano tnere nave always been some
people who were able TO beat the rules
and remain in classes that they were
not entitled to be in. These things are
known and as time wore on the Inter
state Association corrected the faults.
Now they have defined the amateur
and professional SO clearly that II will
be next to impossible for any person to
beat the rules without dishonor. Every
thing is accomplished on the honor sys-
tenn in trapshooting-and trapshooters
are the finest sportsmen in the world.

AMATEUR is DEFINED BY
TRAPSHOOTING ASSOCIATION
Any One Who Receives Expenses Free Shells Anmoa,
Anything Else Because Of His Connections Reesated the
Professional Cas.-Ne Hallway Measure.
Peter P. Carney.
Editor of National spsrts synaieste

Here 10 the Interstate Associations
definition OF the amateur and profess
sional:
ANY shooter, not dependent upon his
skill - trspshot as q means or
livelihood, either directly or indirectly.
or In part or whole, including employees
of manufacturers Of or dealers In. fire.
arms. ammunition. powder. traps. targets
and other trapshooting accessories, and
who does NOT receive any compensa-
ton or concession, monetary or other
wise, or allowance for expenses or trap
shooting supplies from such manufsc-
turers or dealers, shall be classed as an
amateur.
ANY shooter, including employees Of
manufacturers of, or dealers IN. fire.
arms, ammunition. powder, targets, traps
and other trapshoottng accessories. who
receives his salary or any portion of his
salary, or any EXPENSES OF ANY
KIND for use in trapshooting. or RE
BATE on the market price Of such
articles as compensation for the promo
ton Of the sale or advertisement of
any such products handled by such
manufacturers. shall be classed as a
PROFESSIONAL"
In other words, the amateur shooter
is the one who pulverizes the clay birds
because he likes the sport and shoots
for sport only.
The fellow who receives any portion
of his expenses in any capacity. or who
purchases shells, guns, etc. less than
standard figures because he has some
ability as a shot, or the hardware clerk
who gets his ammunition free, etc, will
be found in the professional class this
year. The rule is drastic-but II is right
and the Interstate Association didn't
mince matters in adopting II. And IL IT
isn't strong enough, they viii put In q
few more screws and tighten 1t.
