 Sidney Ross speaking on behalf of the Phoenix Athletic club, stated that the organization which he represented was a permanent institution here: that it's presence in the city was not oc- casioned by the state fair. "The ques- ton of whether or not we are entitled to hold boxing exhibitions in Phoenix during fair week is sufficiently covered by law" he declared. If We cannot legally hold boxing exhibitions here during the week of the fair, the courts will so rule. We believe that the law fully covers all questions in contro- versy. On the other hand, if we can legally hold such matches, we believe that we are entitled to so do."
 Commissioner Adams then asked the city attorney if a permit issued by the commission would have any effect if the attorney general decided that the fair commission had control of all boxing exhibitions. Judge Sloan re- piled that it was not question of a permit, but of a license. and that if the attorney general held that a li- cense must be obtained for each box ing exhibition, then the Phoenix Ath- letic club nor any other club could not give exhibitions without violating the state law.
 Further discussion between Messrs Daggs and Ross was thereupon precip- itated. It was the contention of Daggs that all such exhibitions right fully came under the jurisdiction of the state fair concessionaire, and that the state fair is entitled to derive such benefits as accrue from such entertain ments as exhibitions.
 Ross replied that it was not a ques- l tion of the Phoenix Athletic club at | tempting to withhold any share of it's profits from the state fair but rather a controversy between the state fair con- l cessionaire and the Phoenix Athletic club.
 We are most friendly to the state fair and we will herewith donate $150 or s200 to the fair commission" Ross stated
 Commissioner Adams moved that | the commission issue no special per mits for boxing exhibitions during state | fair week and that the Phoenix Athletic | club be permitted to hold no more than it's regular Friday night exhibition.
 Grant Two Permits Because the matter was not entirely clear to him. MT. Henderson stated that | it would be impossible for him to sec ond that motion and asked the city at | torney to further enlighten him on the matter.
 | Judge Sloan stated that he believed that the recent opinion of the county attorney was correct in the contention that the state law contemplated nc general permit to anyone, but does con template a special permit for every exhibition and that under a strict in depreciation of the law, every exhibi- ton requires a special permit, and a, to whether the city may require a license that is matter of ordinance and that such ordinance should not ap. should not apply to any particula, company or association but should bs ] general.
 After further discussion, Commis sioner Adams withdrew his motion Mr. Ross then presented an applica tion for permits for exhibitions on Oc. tober 3f, November and Novembe ] ', giving the names of the principa | contestants.
 Following further discussion. Com missioner Adams moved that the per mits for October 31 and November be granted and that the commission thereafter issue no further boxing per mits to any club in the city. This mo tion was seconded by Commissione
 Henderson and passed unanimously.
