A DAN EMPIE, secretary Of the
n Army. Navy and Civilian Board
Of Boxing Control, Inc. has asked
that patrons Of boxing in FL Paso
assist in making boxing in the United
States an organized affair. For the
most part boxing in America is a dis
organized muddle often left to the
control Of incapables who betray the
confidence Of the public and besmirch
boxing. This has occurred so many
times and in so many localities that
boxing has largely been placed under
the ban OF the law because Of the
grafters associated with it.
What may be done FOR the game,
the value Of boxing in making better
citizens Of young men and the clean,
wholesome effects generally Of box
inE when properly conducted has been
forcibly brought before citizens OF the
United States by the army and navy
during the war. The general demand
States has led to the organization Of
a national board Backing the move
ment are leading officers Of the army
and navy, governors OF the states,
United States senators. leading edu-
Gators and prominent citizens
The purposes Of the board-which
should be carefully studied by every
boxing fan-fOllOw in full:
!. To legislate in advance for the
large number Of soldiers and sailors
who have already avowed their deter
mination TO adopt boxing as a profess
sion on the Generalization OF the
forces
2 To help them TO lead clean.
temperate. self respecting lives.
3. To ensure the permanent main
tenance Of professional boxing on the
high plane to which the eXigencies
Of war have raised it
T. To adopt methods similar to
those which are being employed by
Great Britain. and which. with the di-
rect assistance Of the king. ana other
distinguished persons, have succeeded
I'm raising the standard Of boxing
TO a higher level and developing a
new and better type Of professional
boxer
5. By sincere and persistent effort
to win the much-abused confidence Of
the governors Of states in order that
their sympathy and cooperation may
be unreservedly secured
6. To promote uniform legislation
and bring about the repeal OF the re-
strictive laws now operating in GER
tain states
2 To act as a board OF arbitration
for the adjustment Of disputes be-
tween boxers. managers. promoters
and others.
S. To issue, under the authority Of
the state. certificates TO qualified
referees and judges.
Q. To penalize, with the authority
Of the state, referees, promoters. man
ayers. and boxers guilty Of conduct
detrimental TO the best interests Of
boxing.
10. To guide and direct the men
who have determined to become pro-
fessional boxers on their retirement
from the service into channels which
will safeguard them from leading
idle and, in so far as the state is
concerned, useless lives

FREAK GOLF sHOT-

which was left on a rubber tee. When
Nelson swung two balls left the tee
One went about 40 yards up the
course, while the other got a few
yards to the right, almost out OF
bounds. An examination disclosed
that the ball which went only a few
yards was the one which Nelson had
driven, while the sphere which went
about 40 yards uphill was the ball
which his rubber core had hit Il was
almost unbelievable that one ball

enough force TO cause it to fly almost

JAKE KILRAIN'S LAST VICTORY.
On this date in 1891 Jake Kilrain
knocked out George Godfrey in the
4fth round at san Francisco This
battle was the last victory OF Kill
rain who had claimed the worlds
heavyweight championship a few
years before, but was defeated after
a long and heroic bare knuclzle bat
tie with John l. Sullivan at Rich
burg, Miss. After that Kilrain took
on several second raters, and was then
matched with Godfrey. a black war
ri0r known as "Old Chocolate" Al
though he had been fighting a dozen
years, the negro had never been
knocked out, and had suffered de-
feat only at the hands Of Peter Jack
son There was widespread interest in
the bout between Kilrain and Godfrey,
and large sums were WaEered- The
men were OF exactly the same height,
but Kilrain had a big ADVANTAGE in
weight II was largely that which
enabled him TO wear the black man
down and finally knock him out, for
Godfrey was the more scientific fight
er Of the pair Soon after his victory
over Godfrey, Jake was defeated by
Frank Slavin, the Australian, Godfrey
continued in the ring several years,
and was afterWard knocked out by

One day the Red Cross
found a little boy years
old who was weak and
thin; he couldn't eat; he
was too weak to play. and
he couldn't go to school.
That little boy was in
the first stage of tubercu-
losis. Fresh air and good
food are two things which
help to cure tuberculosis,
so the Red Cross had a
porch built and screened
in. Then they put q bed
on the porch and provided
good heavy bed-clothes so
the little fellow would be
warm when he slept out
doors The Red Cross
Drought MIN lots OF milk
and fresh eggs, and soon
that good nourishing food,
together with lots of fresh
air. helped to make the boy
stronger day by day. Then
they took him to the sea-
shore. He is back home
now, and is almost as
strong as you are. He goes
to school every day. and
plays too, just like other
boys,
The Red Cross saved this
little fellows life. or such
is the Red Cross mission of
mercy in which everyone
of us can have a share.
Join to-day.
