'FRATERNAL' BOUTS
NOT IN CONTROL
OF COMMISSION

Albany. Jan. 2s.--Attorney General
Egburt T.. Woodbury. made public to-
day ruling that boxing bouts conduct
ed by frsternal organizations without
either direct or indirect admission
charge. for the purpose of stimulating
attendance at meetings, do not come
under the Jurisdiction of the State Ath-
letic Commission, otherwise known as
the Boxing Commission.
If admission is charged, however,
even in the form Of membership tickets.
in private club, the Attorney General
holds, the bouts would come within the
purview Of the penal law with respect
TO boxing.
"All Of the provisions seem TO indi-
cate very clearly" says the Attorney
General, that what was intended TO be
covered by the boxing law were exhibit
tons for which an admission fee was
charged. It does not seem to me that
the distinction which ! seek to make
would open the door TO abuse by per-
hitting athletic associations to pretend
to give private exhibitions open only to
those holding certificates of member
ship in the club, but which certificates
are really in the nature of tickets for
the exhibitions; because the law will
look through the form and substance,
and it would very probably be held in
such a case that admission was charged
indirectly"
