Frawley measure succumbed to the Slater bill. abolishing 1egalized bouts throughout the state, which was pass ed during the closing hours of the 1917 legislative session at Albany.
 In future, or until such time as some other measure may permit a revival of the sport in places where public admission fees can be charged, glove contests in Greater New York or else where in this state will be confined to chartered clubs under the member ship plan' which was in vogue here during the interim between the lapse of the Horton law and the advent of the Frawley measure.
 According to the annual reports of the New York state athletic commits sion, patrons of the sport in the last six years have paid about $5,000, 900 iE admissions to ring contests and ex- hibitions held under the Frawley law. The state tax of five per cent. and later 1-2 per cent on these gate. re- ceipts which has been paid into the state treasury amounted to about $30O,000. The banner year under the Frawley regime was 1916, when tie receipts, including the big gate for the Willard Moran bout at Madison Square Garden, amounted to $1, ,cS6. .46S and the state tax $79.9S5.

GIANTS WILL FEEL
 EFFECT OF 1917 SERIES
The Loss of the Series Will Put Diff ferent Light on 1918 Pennanf Race.

Fans already re beginning to speculate on the chances of the Giants in 1918. Prior to the worlds series many of the clubs admirers believed it was the strongest team ever msn- aged by McGraw. However, worId's s series in the past have shattered the regulations of good many clubs and you \don't hear so much about the Giants being compared to the old Orioles, the Great Cubs and the later day Athletics as you did a month ago.
 No one knew how strong or weak the Giants really were. They were so far in front after July that their worlds series. w They then proc procedded to blow to the White Sox, the poorest American League champions since the days Detroit made an annual practice of winning. the championship. Chicago not approach the Athletics of 1s10 1911, and 1913, or the Red Sox of 1915 and 1916 in baseball sense or all around ability.
 The loss of the worlds series by the Giants may have quite an effect on next years National League pennant race. Had the Giants won they would have believed in themselves more firmly than before and other teams would have considered them we'll nigh invincible. Having lost the series the way they did the Giants may not be while other teams will not hold the same respect for their prowess as they did in 1917. Unquestionably all teams will play harder against the Giants next year than they did in the past season. a
 Of course it may be argued that the loss of the worlds series does not af- feet the strength of the Giants any more than the loss of a series to an inferior team during the regular sea- son. This is true in part but the psychology of losing worlds series is far different than losing one during the playing season. Plays during the championship season are forgotten next day, but. the worlds series plays stick in the minds of the fans for

RESOLUTION TO FcsM
 NEW LEAGUE DEFEATED
Is Voted Down, ii to 2, at National Association Meeting at Louisville.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 14.-Settlement Of the factional dispute which threatened to disrupt the American association and pave the way for the formation of new league appeared ot be assured tonight.
 The rival factions were brought to- gether after the National Association of Baseball leagues voted down, Il to 2, a resolution at it's convention todty to redistrict the minor leagues of the country.
 President Hickey said a meeting would be held in Chicago on Dec r to decide on plans for next season.
 Edward Barrow, president of the In- national league, brought the fight to redistrict all leagues to the floor of the convention today. He offered
Norwich bulletin., 1917-11-15

an amendment to a resolution which provided for the redistricting of only the smaller leagues. The proposal was received with a storm of protests and half a dozen league presidents attack ed it in bitter terms. M. H. Sexton, president of the Ma tional association, declared there could be no withdrawal of the Louis vile, Indianapolis and Toledo clubs from the American association nor the formation of a new league without the unanimous consent of all of the clubs in the two organizations.
 President Barrow of the Interna- tiona1 league was unwilling tonight to make any predictions as to whether his organization would take the field next season.
 Club owners will meet in New York on Dec. 10 to take whatever steps are necessary.
 Beyond that. I haven't a word to say" Barrow said. ."The merger plan apparently has fallen through. l think it would have been a good thirx 2 for the game, especially in the war time conditions we must face.''
 August Hermann. chairman of the National Baseball commission, appear ed before the minor leaguers this af- ternoon and pledged the support of the major leagues to any cause that will be of assistance to the small organ izations He declared that baseball in general was facing a critical situa- tion.
 < ""The next season will be a serious one both in the major and minor leagues" Hermann said. There will have to be retrenchment everywhere if we hope to exist. The minor leaguers need the majors and the major leagues need the minorE. It is to our mutual interest that we should extend aid. I can say with all frank ness that the National league is seri- ously considering policy of retrench- ment which includes the reduction of . player limit"
 J. w. Ford of Fort Dodge, Iowa, president of the Central association, one of the ten leagues forced to sus- pend last season, appealed to Mr. Hermann for ruling that would enable these leagues to protect their player rights
 President Sexton was empowered to appoint a committee of three to settle the issue with the national commits sion.
 After defeat of a resolution offered by A. R. Tearney, president of the Three league, demanding the reduc- ton of the present membership of the national board of arbitration from ten members to five, President Barrow of the International league attempted to

years after they occur.
 Time only will tell how the unmer- ciful banning of Zimmerman after the last game of the series will affect Heine's play in 1918. It was this play CTS misfortune to cap the most bril- liant season of his career by a bone which made him the laughing stock of the nation. Fred Snodgrass never was the same player after he muffed EnEie's fly in the 1912 series.
 Herzog is another big s''if'' on the 1918 Giants: Charley, through his poor physical condition, sagged quite a bit in his work of 1917, and toward the end of the season got into the bad sraces of his club and teammates by taking vacation without permission. A truce was called during the world 8 series, but this feud may break out again next year. .H
 McGraw received quite a few com pliments last season because of his ability to keep harmony on his iniield with ZiTum erman, Fletcher and Her zog component parts. Conditions at little harder to retain this harmony i'll 1918.
 However, this is no attempt to be pessimistic over the chances of the 1918 Giants. On paper the club will look far the best of any other club in the National League. Philadelphia, the only club which gave the Giants the semblance of fight last season, is deteriorating with age. while the Cardinals, which finished third, will sorely miss Huggins, who was the brains of the club.
 Matty's Reds which kicked mp quite a fuss at one stretch last season should give the Giants their toughest opposition next year though Mathew son must find a second baser1an and at least one more reliable pitcher Filler with last years experience, should fit in well with Toney, and Schneider.
