Boxing Mems and Notes

When the Frawley law passes out,
on November 10. putting an end to
legalized boxing in this state, New
York City will cease TO be the mecca
Of the boxing game. For many years
il has been the centre OF Fistiana,
with all Of the prominent boxers
focking here.
But most of the topliners, leery
Of what will happen here under the
proposed club plan and uncertain
whether boxing under any guise
whatever will be permitted, are pre-
pairing for an exodus to other parts
so that even should the club plan be
peruitted by the authorities, 1t Is
very doubtful il good bouts with real
top-notchcrs will be seen here again
soon.
To ALI appearances, New Orleans
will, for time At least, become tne
Gathering point of the knights of the
nadded mitts. The Southern city IS
favored for many reasons. The win
tor season is just opening there. and,
in addition to racing, there Will be the
annual Mardi Gras, which always at
tracts many people. And the gather
inc AZ New Orleans will probably be
Greater this year a. the result Of a
Supreme Court decision handed down
tho other day in favor OF oral betting.
Some of the local boys are already
packing UP their gloves, managers and
other vital necessities for the trip.
Johnny Dundee has decided TO forsake
New York and try out the game IN the
Crescent City, where he is well known
and popular.

 WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The pow CT of the Alaska legislature to tax corporations and the decision of the Alaskan and appellate courts affirm ing that right are upheld by a ruling of the supreme court of the United States made known late yesterday.
 The case Just passed on by the high court was a test case which was fought in the Alaska and higher courts by the large fishing and min ing corporations which pooled their strength to find out whether the taxes imposed on them by the ter rtorial legislature were legal or not
 This approval of the rulings of the lower court settles the question as to the powers of the Alaskan legislature to pass laws of the character assail- ed in the appeal. The appeal on the tax acts of the legislature were dis. missed.
