GOVERNOR EDGE
TELLS POLICY:
. S. Smith Appointed
Chairman of Boxing
Commission.

Atlantic City, N. J., April S-John
S. Smith, of Atlantic City. and a for
mer resident of Camden, was named
chairman at the organization meeting
of the new boxing commission which
will control the sport now legaliZed In
New Jersey under the Hurley bill.
Gov. Edge met with the commission
ers yesterday morning in Trenton and
outlined with them in a general way
a policy. The Governor declared That
he had received much favorable COM
ment on his selection of the personnel
Of the commission and felt that the
sport would be kept clean under their
supervision. No professional bouts can
be conducted in the State excepting
under the authority of the commission.
The commissioners will meet again
on Tuesday in Trenton to adopt n set
of rules. Several applications for Ii
censes will be then considered. A Sec
retary Is also to be named. He serves
without pay, but like the commission
ers Is allowed his expenses. Following
the discussion with Gov. Edge the
commission authorized the following
statement:
1T is our first desire to exercise
every care IT, order that no justi1iable
criticism can result. We are all keenly
interested in the sport as a sport, and
propose that New Jersey shall furnish
an object lesson rather than follow in
the footsteps of other States that have
permitted a too liberal Interpretation
of the privilege. Our attention has been
brought to the existence in some sec
tions of the State of places where what
are alleged to be professional bouts
are conducted, but no professional
bouts can be conducted in the State
excepting under the authority and con-
troll of this commission.
when application for boxing IL
censes are received it will be a stand
ing rule of the commission that they
will not be acted upon until the second
meeting following their receipt. in or
der that members Of the commission
may have an opportunity to make hec-
essary Investigations. We ask the pub
lie and those interested in the sport
to assist US in carrying out our re-
sponsibility on the highest plane"
w. E. Cam, OF Elizabeth, and Ed
ward S. Gain, of East Orange. are the
other two commissioners on the box
ing board

SERVICE TEAMS MAY
MEET In BASEBALL

Annapolis, Nd. April s-With the
1918 baseball season under way at
both the Military Academy at West
Point. and the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, naturally the question of
whether or not the service teams
will be allowed to meet by the de-
partmental officials at Washington
is now a subject of agitation.
The rival teams and student
bodies are overly eager to come TO-
gether. especially as last years
game was prevented because Of the
war conditions. it having been re-
garded as undesirable to have the
players travel away from their
base. and the same reason may en-
ter into the plans for this years
battle on the diamond. However.
the athletic officials have set aside
by mutual agreement, June l. as the
date for the all-important struggle
and the holding out hope that the
necessary permission will be forth
coming. However. the matter has
not been broached through the prop
er official channels as yet, but II is
likely to be taken up at any time.
In the event that the teams are
allowed to play. it is more than
likely that the game will be staged
on the Naval Academy diamond un-
der the old established arrangement
of playing alternate years at West
Point and Annapolis.

BENNY LEONARD
FINISHED BORRELL

Philadelphia. Pa. April s.-Benny
Leonard, lightweight champion DEM
onstrated that he was still able to
defend his title in the ring, by
soundly beating Young Joe Borrell in
a 6-round bout here tonight. AL
though the champion has put on
weight and lost some of his form
since he has been teaching the SOL
diers how to box at Camp Upton. he
has not lost his fighting ability.
Borrell. who is somewhat OF an
amateur performer was a mark for
every blow that Leonard aimed at
him. Benny almost knocked him out
in the fourth by a vicious punch to
the jaw which sent Borrell through
the ropes.

ERTLE READY
FOR PAL MOORE
Both Boys Training Hard in
Baltimore for Coming
Bout.

Baltimore, April S-Everything
is in readiness for the all
important set-to between Johnny
Ertle. of st. Paul, and Pal Moore. OF
Memphis, which takes place in Balti-
more next Wednesday night at the
Lyric before the Pickwick Athletic
Club and which will decide the 1l6-
pound championship of the country.
Both boys have been in Baltimore
training for nearly a week and each
is confident that the fifteen-round
route will be of sufficient length to
decide the winner Beyond any argu-
ment.
Those who follow the pugilistic
game know that Ertle and Moore
are the class of the 1l6-pounders. that
is. the real legitimate bantam-weights.
There are many near bantams and
feathers posing as bantams. but there
are few boys who make 1l6 ringside,
the weight at which next Wednesdays
bout will be fought.
ETtle has been a sensation in Balti-
more. His last appearance there was
against Kid Williams, 10 whom he con-
ceded everything in the weight line
by agreeing to lis pounds at 10 o'clock
the morning of the fight. This per-
mitted Williams to enter the ring at
the feather-weight limit and possibly
a bit above. Despite this advantage.
Ertle went in and trimmed Williams
beyond all doubt. a slow count saving
the Kid from a Knockout The referee
called the bout a draw and such a
howl went up that the police authori-
ties having the boxing in charge took
away the licenses Of all the main bout
referees and appointed Capt. James
T. OHDonovan. of the British army,
stationed at Camp Meade. He will
referee next Wednesdays go.

jim THORPE SAYS
NOT MANY FAST MEN

Philadelphia. April S.-Jim Thorpe.
the great Indian all-round athlete.
now pastiming in the outer works of
the Giants. is skeptical about these
eleven-second men in baseball uni
form. He admits he can't run the
distance in diamond togs and he goes
further and offers to make a friendly
wager that there is not another man
in the National who can. The Big
Chief so expressed himself in a fan
ming bee at Marlin and in the follow
ing language.
There are several men on our club
who go down to first at the rate of
better than eleven seconds. but I
don't believe any of them can keep 1t
up for the entire 100 yards. Eleven
seconds is fast travelling. and it takes
training to do that. When l was at
my fastest in a track suit I never
could beat 10 1-5, and I know 1 am
nowhere near as fast now as l was
during the Olympic games.

Indians Beat Giants.

New Orleans, April s.-The Cleve-
land Indians shut-ott the National
League champions beating them 10 to
0 here today. Two costly errors by
Rariden helped the Indians to pile
up their score. Rnbe Benton was In
the box for the Giants for five
innings and was hammered unmerci-
fully. He was then relieved by "Poll''
Perritt, and the Clevelanders drove
three runs across the plate before he
found his arm. Roy Morton pitched
six innings for the Indians and al
though he was hit hard the Giants
were unable to force a score.
