1t IL now probable that an addi-

vided in the plans of the District
DuckpIn Association tournament, to
be held this spring. Interest among
the fair sex has become widespread
during the last year. and it was con-
siderabiy augmented by the night for
women set aside in the A c. B. A
tournament last year. In contem-
plating the move, District Associa-
tion officials are likely to figure on
not one, but several nights competi-
ton for the women. In addition to
a number of regularly organized
teams, there are q host of individuals
who, undoubtedly, would enter, and
1T would require more than one
night for them to roll in teams, dou-
bles, and singles
The tournament Is more than q
month distant, but Moe Goldbere,

NEW YORK. March 1e.-Governor
Whitman is determined to wipe out
professional boxing in this State. II
is believed that he will force the pas
sage of the Slater bill, which repeats
the Frawley-Maline law, but does not
prohibit glove contests in private
clubs. Several members OF the legis-
lature have been quoted as saying
that they are not in favor OF killing
public exhibitions of the manly art,
and that they will try to persuade the
governor to recede from his present
position.
These lawmakers seem to think
that the appointment OF a new State
athletic commission, to be composed
of one or three men of high standing
in the community will free the sport
from the scandals which have brought
IL into disrepute. But word comes
from Albany that Governor whitman
will refuse to accept q compromise.
Plans Second BILL
"If there Is determined opposition to
the Slater bill in the legislature" said
q prominent politician yesterday, the
governor will introduce another meas
ure that will wipe out boxing by
professionals and amateurs when ad-
mission fees directly or indirectly are
charged. The governor will make the
passage OF his bill a party and moral
issue SO that the legislature Will be
whipped into line.
ain that case boxing under the club
membership plan will be violation
of the law. In fact, the governor has
been advised to frame his bill so that
boxing for money will be felony,
the penalty being n heavy fine or

wenek's Removal Foreseen.
The summary removal of Wenck
from the State athletic commission
on the ground that he was unfit"
was generally anticipated. wenck's
management Of the sport was exposed
in the recent hearing before Governor
Whitman Counsel, Franklin B. Lord.
But the other members of the com.
mission. Dwyer and Franey, should
have been censured by the governor,
because OF their failure to assert their
authority.
They allowed matters to be handled
in such q manner that the present
plight of the boxing game can be
charged to their inactivity. The gov
ernor is justified In his vigorous op-
position to the sport. He Is familiar
with the methods employed by unscru'
pulous promoters and shady prize
fighters. He refused to be convinced
that boxing under the law which has
been persistently violated, can be
cleansed OF existing evils.
Commends Governor.
There is little or no sympathy for
managers and fighters. They have
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg, and they have failed to recog
nize the rights OF the sporting public
In the greedy scramble for money
they have forgotten the principles OF
honest competition, and, as q result
they must take the consequences
