BLIZZARD HITS
 MONTANA HARD:
 TRAINS HALTED
NORTHERN PART OF STATE IS SHOWED UNDER; SNOW FLOWS UNABLE TO KEEP RAILROAD TRACKS CLEAR; WEATHER 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.

GREAT FALLS. Mont, Dec H. (P) The most severe blizzard in years is raging turnout northern Montana today causing some suffer ing and a great amount of incon- venience. The mercury at Judith Gap at 8 o'clock this morning stood at 20 degrees below zero and similar temperature is reported from all the northern section of the state.
 Much snow has fallen during the past 36 hours and is hampering train movements to a considerable degree. Snow blows are kept busy every hour in the day trying to keep the tracks clear but have been unable to get the regular trains thru on schedule. A number of towns that are short of fuel report some suffering and are appealing for whatever coal can be spared them. In most cases it is i'm possible to supply the needs.

forced to stop was through no request or fault of the Bridgeporter.
 His opponent was in perfect phy- siCal condition and proceeded to wal lOp Kane wickedly. The pace set by the New Havener was apparently too much for Kane, for he soon fell under the crash of a heavy right 10 the point to the chin. He arose at the count of nine, but soon fiopped back onto tlrc floor when Jack crossed his right. Jimmy was partly up when the referee counted him out
 This action on the part of the ref cree was not approved by the crowd and he was missed and booed. In the first place FitzgeraIds counting was not done properly. Jimmy started to get on his feet again at the count of eight and was on the verge of slraightening his limbs when Dave suddenly burst forth with ten much to the disapproval of the crowd.
 But it matters little this decision of Dawes as the two have been rematch- ed for q third bout to be fought either at Battling Levinsky's show at the Casino on May or at the entertain ment Sam Driver is arranging for the second week in June.
 Chlc Brown of New Haven and l Louis Bogash of Bridgeport, however, were the featured participants and they were down for about of four rounds. And they battled four furi- 1 ous rounds, each session of which was ! crowded with action and clean hit | ting. It was one of the best light
 weight battles staged within the ropes of a local ring in many days. 1 Bogash, who has improved tremen- ] dously since New Haveners last saw i him, was in splendid physical condi-
 tion last night with the result that ! he won- But, in accomplishing such a difficult feat, Louis had no simple job In the first place he was kept unusually busy. He was on the alert
 and pushed his punches against his opponents with all the might in him. Chic, however, was a trifle tired too slow. He fought and tried to please. That he did please is unques- tionable, but his showing as a whole was not his best, for he is capable of much better work
 Anyhow, the two fought so well

That Amount, However, Does Not Include Tax Allen Is Star of Evenings Entertainment.
However,
By ROGER TERRI.

NEW HAVEN. April 1l-Boxing enthusiasts will have to be given something better than four rounds before the sport here can furnish in ducements sufficiently strong to make worth while for a promoter 60 bother himself with conducting shows.
 Last nights fstic entertainment at the Arena was pugilisticauy a success for it was superior to any of its pre- decessors. Financially, however, the affair did not live up to expectations, for the gross receipts, the 10 per cent. tax excluded, netted S851.50. There were 1,5T7 persons present. These were divided as follows:
 Admissions (5O cents) ...9o1
 Ringsiders (S1.O0) .4O6
 Passed spectators .. 70
 Chic Brown of this city received the largest purse. His end was 9 per cent. of the gross, or S212.S7. Louis Bogash of Bridgeport drew down 20 per cent. Of $17Q.30. Red Allen, also of Bridgeport. and Harry Williams, the Elm City veteran light weight, each were given $50 for ser vices rendered in the semi-final bout, also a four-rounder. The promoters probably pocketed about $100, that amount representing profits of the evening.
 But those who stayed at home missed an unusually brilliant as well as exciting and thrilling card. Al though the nights bill was literally choked with knockout victories. ii was one of those boxing shows that will long remain fresh in ones mem- ory.
 Bridgeporters fortunately had g good night. There was, however, an | exception. He was Jimmy Kane, the clever little battler. Jimmy was l driven out of the ring by Referee 1 Fitzgerald in the Park City's contest with Jack Rose whom he defeated several weeks ago. That he was

GIANTS COATING
 ALONG IN SERIES

SPARTANSBURG,S s. C., April H. After having lost the spring series with the Red Sox, the Giants are be- ginning to play real ball. They gave the worlds champions another tidy drubbing here yesterday, winning their second victory of the series by the score of 4 to 1.
 The game was played on a wretch ed field belonging to WoIford College. It is a red clay field without a bla de Of grass on it, and a baseball bound- ed on it like a golf ball Neverthe- less, the Giants played errorless ball, and in all respects gave their best exhibition thus far. Jesse Barnes and George Smith pitched in excellent form, the fielding was brilliant, the team played smart1y on the bases, and hit when hits were needed
 Fletcher and Doyle made some thing like record around second base, inasmuch as they handled A chances cleanly. Balls were hit to them at all angles. and took all sorts of bounds, but the New York infield pair managed to spear them. Fletcher had nine assists and three putouts. Three times they pulled off double plays. while six times during the game the man at second base was forced.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April II -, Miller Huggins absolved the Yankees from morning practice yesterday, and two Brooklyn pitchers.

 BILL DOOMED

ALBANY, April 11.---Boxing, fight ing for a place in the sun, seems cer- tain to be defeated again, in it's an nuaI bout with the State Legislature, though successful in the early rounds, carrying the Senate and thereby gain ing partial legislative sanction, the game is expected to meet its doom in the Assembly and boxing fans can only hope for a return match next
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-11

Cheney's pitching was easily the feature of this latest setback. The veteran spitbaIler, who came into the game at the beginning of the sixth inning, set down six Yankees by the strikeout route, allowed only one hit, and did not give a pass. Pratt, who singled to right in the sixth, was the only New York player who reached first base while Cheney was working. Cheney famed two Tanks in the sixth, two in the seventh, and two in the eighth, then retired the side in order, but without any strikeouts, in the ninth inning

CPORTORIALC BY W
 ROGER TERRI

D RIDGEPORTS police commits D sioners have decided to permit boxing here. They have determined that the sport shall be kept clean and fakirs and dishonest promoters and managers be kept out.
 They have set down a code of rules that they believe will eliminate all doubt as to the legality of boxing. There is statute on the books of the State making it unlawful to stage bouts in which the partici- pants administer blows for the pur- pose of knocking out an opponent"
 Apparently the commissioners have considered this statute, for they have announced that 'there must be no knockouts." This means that neither battler shall attempt to stop or otherwise knock out the other.
 By Issuing permits under such conditions as these laid down by the Police Commissioners, they are in viting pre-arranged and otherwise fake bouts. They are paving the way that will be open to dishonest fighters and their managers. Such an arran cement means the death of box ing forever in this city.
 Personally tho writer would prefer having no boxing at all in Bridge port, than have it conducted along the lines set down by the Police ComInissi oners.
 It is the most senseless condition ever laid down to promoters. or oourse, boxing managers will accept the commissioners conditions. And why shouldn't they? Do they not in vite fake battles.
 Imagine Bridgeport boxing fans paying anywhere from one to three dollars to see two boys give 0 mere exhibition, Knocsouts are many times scored accidentally. As a mat ter of fact, most knocEouts are sooped by g. single punch.
 Supposing a boxer suddenly scores a. hard swing on his oppon- ent's jaw and the recipient takes flop, what then? win the Commis- sioners hold the promoter guilty of a violation? Or will they suspend the boxer who scored the knockout?
 And if a knockout IS scored will it be regarded as a violation of the State law? VIII the police commis- sioners be charged with being an accessory in that 1t was move made by them in granting a permit that such a law was violated? Or will they pass the bucket to the pro- -noter? And the boxers and their mana gers?

H COMMISSIONER Stanley has set N down a set of rules which he be- lieves-and sincerely sO-will elevate boxing. On the contrary, those rules will degrade the sport. His condl- tions are vague-too much so. An in terDretation of the knockout proviso is necessary. A promoter. here would be foolish to proceed to arrange a show with an idea of carrying out the commissioners conditions.
 It is an impossibflity.
 In the first place, the elimination of a possible knockout does away with competition It discoura ges hard fighting. but does encourage stalling and faking.
 When the country hears of the Knockout condition Bridgeport will be made a laughing stock. Boxing managers will swamp here for matches There isn't a. fight manager in this country who would send his protege to box here under the commissioners conditions for half what he would ask of 0 promoter in some other section.
 We believe that Commissioner Stanley really believesNthat the con- ditions 1le has laid down will bene- fit the game But experience fore casts the contrary There is only one thing we can predict for boxing in Bridgeport, if the commissioners in- sist on having their rules enforced the ruination of the sport.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-11

D OxRSG commissions in all States kS where boxing has been legalized have laid down a rule among their bylaws making it an offence on which a boxer who stalls or fakes can be suspended from ever again participating in a contest over which that body holds Jurisdiction.
 The law contains the phrase with intent" What we would like to know is: what is the local commis- sioners' interpretation of intent? When a boxer enters a contest he usually sets upon the task to win as best h can. If his punches carry sufficient weight a. knockout is pos sible. Could that boxer be charged with having fought his opponent with the intent of rendering his op- ponent senseless?' Or would 1t be called an accident
 It is impossible to instruct two boxers to fight" but not for A knockout. Instructions of that sort are instructions for the boxers to stall.
 And what would happen if a box CT, should dose his head. so to speak and score a. knockout?
 We must confess that We cannot sec the wisdom of that knockout rule. Our contention is that you can not demand two boxers to box their best >by injecting the fear that they will be apprehended if a knockout is- scored.
 More than seVenty~Hve percent of ring ISnockouts can be termed "acci- dental"
 But the commissioners make no distinpt4nn. They say there must be no knock, Ut"
