Is Joe Burman, the Chicago boy who has
been making good with such a vengeance
in the East lately.
His manager, Dave Simons. has COM
missioned me to challenge either Pete

Boxing WILL SOON BE
MEMORY in new YORK
Promoters and Scrappers Responsible
for Its Death.

New York. May 8.-They're going to
hang crepe on the boxing game in New
York next November.
The boxing fans will regret to see the
sport go by the boards, but they will
have the consolation OF knowing that II
Is through no fault Of their own.
The promoters and the boxers have no
one but themselves to blame. They put
the curse on boxing and now they must
take the consequences. Some future law
may reinstate boxing in New York, but
II It is ever brought back 1t must be run
under entirely different conditions or It
will be bound to fail, just as II has failed
under the Frawley law.
First of all the New York Boxing
Commission must shoulder a large share
Of the blame for permitting conditions
to exist which put boxing In bad with
the powers that be. The commissioners
ran their department loosely. They did
not keep undesirables out OF the game.
They permitted promoters to blk the
public; they failed to punish offenders,
who became bolder as the months passed
by, and they finally reached the point
where they were looked upon as mere
tools of INSCRIPTIONS parasites Of box
ing who placed the dollar above. every
thing else.
The promoters, for the most part, ran
their clubs to suit themselves. They
made many cheap matches and asked
exorbitant prices OF the fans. They
oversold the seating capacity Of their
clubs and got away with it. Get the
dough at the gate and to Halifax with
the public was their motto. The box
ing fan who laid down 50 to 81 for a seat.
only to find it occupied by some squat
ter with a lantern jaw who refused to
give 1t up was stung without a chance
to get even. Some gay life for the
promoters? You said t.
And the boxers did their bit"
Many a boxer was permitted to get
by with weak alibis for non-appearance.
The fans who had paid to see an ad-
vertised show had to watch some clumsy
substitute fill In the main event-the
substitution often being announced at
the last minute. Other boxers held up
shows until they received their guaran-
tee. thereby disgusting the fans at the
ringside.

some DOUBT ABOUT
TWO NO-HIT GAMES
Cicotte and Koob Said to Have Been
Favored bY Scorers.

New York. May 26.-Two pitchers cred
tied with no-hit games by the oficial
scorers in the American League this sea-
son seem to have slipped through the
door OF the Hall of Fame while the door
keeper was pounding his honorable ear.
Reports from ST. Louis indicate that
had not the scorers been very, very len
lent with Eddie Cicotte and Ernie Koob
their no-hit games would have gone down
in the records as one-hit games.
There wasn't much said regarding tha
game Eddie Cicotte pitched against the
Browns on April II. for the only batted
ball that really resembled a hit. acord-
ing to all reports, came near the end of
the contest. when Eddie was roosting on
the threshold of the coveted goal and
the scr1bes calmly marked down an error
when Jimmy Austin smashed a hot drive
at Chick Gandn which was fast enough
to have torn a leg of that eminent first
sacker.
First reports on the mo HIT game
credited to Ernie Koob gave him credit
for a one-hit game. Later, is 1t said. the
official scorer gave Koob credit for a no
hit game against his better Judgment.
The play in question came when Buck
Weaver crashed a grounder to Ernie
Johnson. who was second-sacking for
