Knockouts Rule
In Bouts Held
By N. Y.A.C.

Knockouts brought to an end many
of the bouts before the end Of the
regulation three round sessions IN the
preliminary rounds of the amateur
tourney which began at the New York
Athletic Club last night. Most of these
abbreviated meetings came in the 10
pound class, where only three of the
seven bouts went the limited distance.
Sam Siegcr, Of Rutgers Place Gym
nasium, the New York State 108-pound
champion, had little to spare in earn
ing the honors over Peter Richman,
Clark House A. A., in a bout of the
110-pound class. Both youths showed
considerable boxing knowledge, with
Sicger scoring effectively with left
hand jab.
In the third round Sicgcr scored
many clean punches, and thereby
gained a winning margin over his rival
ether good little boxer. was forced to
box three rounds to beat NJ. Pome-
1antz. Rutgers Place Gymnasium.
George V. Kane, attached to the
Pelham Bay Naval Reserve, displayed d
large amount of gameness in bowling tC
Charles O'Kum. University Settlement
in trial bout of the l50-pound di-
vision. The navy man performed well
in the first round, carrying the fight
to his opponent, and gaining large
number Of points for his work during
this session.
Beginning with the second round
O'kum employed a left-hand jab cf-
fectively, and at the end had Kane's
nose bleeding. Kane tried badly in
the third, and as he was staggering
around the ring as result of a hard
blow on the jaw, the referee stopped
further proceedings.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHOPNH-

There appears to be quite a diverg-
encc of opinion in 'our set' as to the
merits and demcrits of the new boxing
bill framed by Assemblyman Marty Nc
Cue. Tom says it means the ruin of
the game. Dick declares it's the saliva
ton of boxing. and Harry swears it's
both good and bad.
Personally, We are inclined to say a
good word for the bill and for Mr..
McCue. For one thing, the limiting of
the number of clubs in this city to
seven should have good effect That
would mean different club could hold
bouts every weekday. with an extra
one for Saturday night. if the club
owners did not wish to conflict with
one another.
McCue's suggestion that each club in
this city be compelled to pay a license
fee of $4,000 and each club outside the
city limits come across with half that
sum before opening their doors would
mean that only the most substantial
and trustworthy promoters would take
chance. man who would put up
$4,000 in cold cash as preliminary
with the knowledge that he would have
to turn over go per cent of the gross
receipts of each show. would be liable
to establish his business on pretty
sound foundation. On the other side
1T is claimed that these conditions
might tempt some oil the big promoters
to stage Willard Fulton bout. for in
stance. making one big "killihs" and
then seek other fields. at the same
time detractin@ from the interest in
all other bouts in which boxers less
we'll known participated.
That doesn't sound quite logical to
us. We all like to sec the BEST shows
we can, but that doesn't mean that we
could not be satisfied with the ordinary
boxing shows in the interim. 1t has
also been pointed out that private
clubs. like the n. Y. A. c.. the Cres-
cent A. c. and the City A. c., would
not feel like paying $4,000 fee to
mold bouts. No reason why they
should. 1t is only on the rarest occa-
sions that these clubs hold profes-
slonal bouts. When these club mem
bers want to see the best men in action
they go to one of the professional pro-
moters' clubs.
Ii we can get Hoover to head the
boxing COMMISSION he will be able to

WestSide TIC.
Ticketfor 1918
No Opposition to Choices of
Committee Expected at
Election Tonight

The annual meeting and election Of
officers of the West Side Tennis Club,
OF Forest Hills, will be held this even
ing at O'Clock in Delmcnico's. There
is only one startling change to be noted
IL the list of officers for 1918. and that
is in the naming of Charles Scott Ian
ders as president in place of Julian
S. Myrck, who resigned the place when
he was named acting president of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association.
The full ticket, which will probably
be elected by unanimous vote of the
members tonight. is as follows; Presi-
dent, Charles Scott Landers; Vice
President, Marshall S. IIagar; Treas
urer, Hugh P. Cutler; Secretary, Will
lam Alexander Campbell; Captain
Theodore b. Barringer. jr.; Board of
Governors, Class of 1920: Julian S. My
rick. Richard II. Tithcrington, Robert
W. Clifford and G.. A. J.. Dionnc. Nomi
mating Committee, 1918: Percy S. Hill
'dreth, c. w. Krcss. s. c. Worth, King
Smith and Ralph B. Gatcomb.
In certain quarters recently an at
tempt was made to attach great impor-
tance to the fact that Mr.. Landers had
been nominated for the presidency in
the place of Mr.. Myrick, it being
rumored that there were certain fac
tions in the club that were dissatisfied
with Mr. Myrick's policies, particularly
in bidding for the national champion
ships each year.
No Basis for Reports
Apparently there is no basis for such
reports, the members of the club feel
ing that the retiring president has done
more to advance the organizations in
tcrests than any previous holder of that
office il will be recalled that at last
Years meeting Mr. Myrck stated pub
licly that the West Side Club would not
take an active part in keeping the ma
tional tournament 1T Forest Hills, and
that if any other club in the associa-
ton wished to bid for the big event
the local club would put no obstacle
III the way
When the national tourney was
transferred from the Newport Casino
To New York, three years ago. the feel
ing was general in lawn tennis circles
that it should rotate among the more
important tennis centres, such as New
York, Newport, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton.
Whether the West Side Tennis Club
members will vote to hold the tourney
in 1918. if it is offered, or make a bid
for it, is matter of doubt 1t would
not be surprising if Philadelphia or
Boston stepped into the field this year
both cities, particularly the former
being we'll qualified to conduct the
championship.
