From a Stag Correspondence

ALBANY, March 24.-The Walker
boxing bill was passed by the Senate
OF 81 to 10. 'O''
Following a protest by ex-service
men in the Assembly the bill will be
amended in the lower house barring
aaraIt dodgers from participation in al
oouts IN the state. The proposed
amendment is aimed at Jack Dempsey
now awaiting trial in California on a
charge Of lodging the draft. Senator
walker said that the amendment would
DC agreeable to him.

Democratic minority of twenty-one
voting, solidly for the measure. Ten
Republicans. mostly from New York,

cast their votes In the negative. Sena-
tor Fred NJ. Davenport, Of Oneida. led
the night against the bill, which. he de-
clared, would degrade boxing. as twas

There was but one absentee, Senator

The bill, which permits ffteen-round
bouts to decision, is backed by the

that all connected with bouts-referee.

we'll as ipals-would be under
state license.
Senator l.. w. H. Gibbs, of Buffalo,
who introduced somewhat similar bill
last year, only that it provided for ten
round bouts and did not give the army,
navy and civilian board the powers
in the Walker bill, asked that
1T be amended SO as to provide for ten
ANui.NS ana SUIllluc lNe making Oh rules
to the state commission.
Senator Frederick w. Davenport, of
Oneida, who made the original objection
to the bill, said that there was not a
more ardent advocate of boxing in the
state than himself. The Senator, who
is professor Of economics at Hamilton
College, raised a laugh when he said:
would not dare to go home if
put myself on record as being opposed
to boxing, for have a boy who saws to
me nightly: Here father, won't you
have couple of rounds before we go
to sleep?'"
Boxing is the greatest athletic
sport in the world. But this bill leads
to the professionalizing of the sport,
instead Of amateurizing the game"
Senator John knight also expressed
objections.
Walker said that the opposition to
his bill was subtly fostered by reun-
ming prize fight promoters whom he re-
fused to permit to attend the hearing
on the bill.

Zuna to Run
In Marathon
Race at London
Legion Post Votes to Send
Star Distance Man Abroad
Olympic Com. Objects

Frank Zuna, the long distance run
ner, will represent the Frank B. Whit
ney Post, American Legion. of New
ark. in the English twenty five mile
marathon run championship which will
be held over course near London on
June 2l. The post decided at meet
ing yesterday to send Zuna, and voted
$1,000 toward financing his trip. Harry
Coates, the track coach of the Whitney
team, may accompany Zuna if he can
arrange his business affairs satisfac-
torly,
Zuna will leave this country the mid
die of May in order to acclimate him
self, According to Zuna's schedule, he
VIII have three weeks in which to con-
dition himself over the London course
before the event.
The last American entry in the Eng
lish classic was in 1912 when Johnny
Hayes. also o Jerseyite. matched his
speed with the Britons. Hayes ran
we'll in this contest. gaining prize,
and later took part in the Shepherds
Bush London Olympic fixture. In the
latter contest Hayes was credited with
victory when Dorando Petri, the
Italian. was disqualified.
If Zuna Completes in the English event
re will do SO against the wishes of the
american olympic committee. 1t has
been intimated that the committee will
take Zuna off the United States entry
list in the Olympic contest, in spite
of his victories in the Knights of Co
lumbus run from Trenton to Camp Dix
last year and in the twenty-fi five mile
run held by the 18th Regiment, Brook
lyn. last month.
The committee fears Zuna may in
jure himself in the London race and
thereby rob the United States team of
it's strongest entry. Only four men
are allowed to represent each country
in the Olympic test and Of the hun
dreds of marathon runners in this
country, zuna is the only one who has
really earned a place on the team. A
conference of the Amateur Athletic
Union Olympic committee. members
will be held in a few days to consider
the matter.

Miss Hollis, 'sMet''
Golf Titleholder,
To I,vade ENGLAND

MISS Marion HolIlns, of West
brook, L. L., present holder of
the metropolitan golf championship.
and long one of the leading players
of this country, announced yester-
day that she will leave for England
on Saturday, April II, to compete
in the British women's golf cham
pionship tournament.
Miss Hollins should do we'll in
this, her first championship in
vasion of British golf links. A
powerful player, she drives ar ex-
tremely long ball for woman, so
that the long carries at Westward
Ho ought not to bother her much.
The Westbrook girl is also a fine
match player and will figure as one
Of the strongest members of the
invading team from the United
States. Her journey overseas will
make it impossible for Miss Hol-
Inns to defend her metropolitan
championship this summer.

At the current writing it does not
look as though there would be any Car
nentier- Dempsey match this year. 1t
NAV never be, although "Tex" Rickard,
the canniest of the promoters, already
has the promise Of Dempsey's agree
ment to a match and the tentative
agreement of Deschamps. MANAGER Of
Carpenter. OF course. nothing at all
can be done toward arranging q match
until Dempsey "ccmes clean" from the
draft evasion charges in the Federal
Court.
Now that the welcoming ceremonies
are over, the experts are beginning to
view the war hero Of the ring with a
rather critical eye. Carpenter has an
nounced that he will box nobody but
Dempsey. In few weeks there will
be a more or less popular demand that
Carpentier show what he can do with
one of the younger heavyweights, Gene
Tunney, the A. E. F. champion, for in
stance.
Not to Press Demand
Of course. this demand will not be
pressed on Carpenter as it would be
upon mere pugilist. Sergeant
Georges, who entered the World War
when it started in 1914, is entitled to
considerable consideration in the mat
ter Of picking his opponents and his
time for lighting. Certainly his fight
ing record ought to make him quite as
picturesque movie hero as our own
Daredevil Jack" Dempsey, of the Bat
tie Of Hog Island.
The supreme confidence of Carpenter
in himself rather took the breath away
from his auditors, especially the state
ment that ne thought he could beat
rushing fighter OF the Dempsey type in
six rounds. When the first of Car
pentier's auditors recovered from the
shock he merely murmured, But this
guy never has seen Dempsey SOCK
Ray Archer, manager of Willard,
heard the remark with panied smile
Archer is here to state that Willard
would like another chance with Demp-
sey:
This time" Archer said, "Jess will
not stick out his chin. That was the
trouble at Toledo. Jess stuck out his
chin"
Carpenter will be entertained by the
International Sporting Club of New
York tonight at supper. Major A. J.
Drexel Biddle, president of the club
and chairman Of the Army, Navy and
Civilian Board Of Boxing Control, will
welcome the visitor to the country.
Carpenter will be escorted to the place
fy six divisions Of prizehght promoters
pho are anxious to sign him up Tne
divisions will be in command of Field
Iarshal Jack Curley.

boxing in New York State. This seems
a trifie unnecessary. If Dempsey
should be convicted he would auto
matically be barred from boxing any
where in the United States by popular
sentiment.
Despite the fact that Carpenter has
announced his intention to box nobody
but Dempsey, the local heavies will
soon be inviting him to compete.
Dumb Daniel Morgan ia already study

him diplomatic challenge in behalf
of Battling Levinsky. Frank Moran,
who speaks French, is on his way back

Boxing Up to Assembly

The Walker boxing bill got by the
Senate. 1t is now up to the Assembly,
where boxing bill died long and
lingering death last session, having
been cruelty gassed by the upstate
solons. 1t is understood that the per-
sons who killed the bill at the last
session have promised to let it live
this time. If the bill is acted upon
favorably by the Assembly there is no
doubt that Governors Smith will sign
It, The Governor always has been in
favor Of reasonably decent boxing
law.
The case of Dempsey has been made
an issue. and Senator Walker has
agreed to amend the bill to prevent
any boxer guilty of draft evasion from

INCONSISTENCY ALLEGED.
A feature of the session which drew
some quiet and caustic comments from a
few of the governors today was the lack
of consistency evidenced in the discus
sions. The burden of these discussions
urged plans for the decentralization of
government and a number of spirited
criticisms of the attempt at paternalism
by Federal bureaus and their interference
with State government were made. This
was intelspersed with appeals for new
Federal agencies to help the farmers TO
control profteering and to do various
other things which, in the opinion of the
executives here would only further the
paternalistic plans of Federal bureaus.
Although papers on the budget system
on housing and similar subjects were
read, there was little or no discussion of
any of these problems by the executives.
Except on the question of the farm credits
situation, none of the executives, IN the
two DAYS in which the conference has
been in session, has presented to the other
governors any Of the peculiar problems
with which he is faced in his own State.
The conference caught up with its
program today. Judge William largest
OF Pennsylvania, presented report on the
work of the National Conference on Uni
form State Laws. Governor r. A. Cooper,
of South Carolina, attacked the gradually
growing centralization of governmental
functions and activities, and this provok-
ed further discussion of the subject by
Governor Clement, of Vermont and Gov
crnor Carey, of Wyoming. Governor
Sproul, of Pennsylvania, and Governor
Townsend of Delaware, discussed State

paper on the rural credits acts OF his
State. A paper prepared by Governor
Alfred T.. Smith. of New York, on the
housing problem, was read TO the con-
ference by Judge Edward d, Boyle, Of
New York City, and further discussed by
Abraham kaplan. Of the Lockwood in
vcstigating committee at tho last session
of the New York Legislature.
TOWNSEND DISCUSSES BUDGET.
In the discussion of the budget system
and State business methods by Governor
John G.. Townsend, Jr., of Delaware, to-
dav. Governor Ritchie acquired a great
deal of data which he may use in his pro-
posed plans for the consolidation of Mary
land State departments.
Efficiency is needed in the expenditure
of appropriations quite as much as it. Is
needed in order to obtain an intelligent
budget program. Governor Townsend,
told the governors. To prepare q business

Governor Townsend, land this is the
factor which the public overlooks in it's

No system Of government can be efficient
