The past week witnessed the
passing Of the Frawlev boxing law
in New York stat While there are
some who viii laud the act OF Gov.
Whitman in having the law killed,
there are thousands OF Others Who
~0ndemn it. for the very good reason
that they feel Il was case OF poll
tics all the way through and not he
cause OF any feeling against the sport
itself.
Already there has been n cone
hack, rs Martin WcCuc. n state
senator, has announced that he
will prepare another boxing bill
Mt once to have presented TO the
legislature in January, one that
viii he patterned after the Wis
c~5s'n law.
There is no reason why iegalized
boxing should not be success in New
York state as well as in Wisconsin.
Il all depends on how the sport is
handled Some OF the New York
mana gers of boxers and others have
been finding out OF late that they
cannot fool with the Badger law as
they have done IN the past In New
York state, much to their chagrin.
and II they had been called TO ac-
count IN the Empire state long ago
il is possible that the law never
would have been repealed. It Is very
probable that another bill viii be put
through, but VIII the same people
profit by their past experience

Chicago Celt, and Jack Dempsey. the
san Francisco young man who has
placed himself under the guiding
wings OF Jack Kearns, former mana
ger OF Bill Murray, Red Watson and
others. Brennan has been scoring
many knOckouts Of late and is being
lard's crown; while the Pacific coast
boxing fans are OF the opinion that
Dempsey may prove 10 be another
Jim Corbctt or Jim Jeffrles. although
he has not got the poundage Of big
Jeff.
Dempsey's greatest claim 20 recoE-
milton is the fact that he beat Cum
boat Smith and carl Morris In FOUR
round bouts. Bill and Jack have 80

can get IN sight OF the willard camp

and also Frank Moran, the PittsburE
big fellow, were considered as con-
tenders, but since Coffey passed up
meeting with Fulton he has been
tabled as out Of the race; while Moran
has not eviuced any real inclination
to meet the Rochester giant Moran
had many opportunities TO take -
Fulton. but for some reason or other
has failed to make the match. Ply
