fell upon Haines, recruit pitcher, in
the thirteenth inning to-day and finally

struck out.
Both teams battled on even terms

Efforts to put over the Walker Nil,

some time it looked as though the boy.
ing bill might be gassed to death i,
the Assembly where it died q lincer;n.
death last year.
The Walker boxing bin would permi.
fifteen rounds to decision by two
judges and referee. The state ~
New Jersey has just passed a new
boxing bill raising. the number Of
rounds to be boxed from eight TO
twelve. The first bout under the new
law in Jersey will be staged by Dave
Driscoll in Jersey City, with Willie
Jackson and Jack Lawlor. the Southern
lightweight, as the principals.
Jackson once upset Johnny Dundee.
the runner-up for the lightweight title
and Lawlor held the Scotch wop TO A
draw recently. Also the Southern BAT
tier got referees decision over Benp,
Vulgar, the Bowery Frenchman.
Enthusiasm Dies Suddenly
The Walker boxing bill went through
the Senate with a rush, and there
seemed to be every prospect that i.
would pass through the Assembly with
the same amount of speed. when the
enthusiasm died suddenly. There were
rumors that the bill never would
emerge again and that the Gillett bill.
which confines boxing to the armories
under National Guard supervision, was
the only measure that would have \
chance.
This caused the caulfiower ears to
droop sadly, for there was considerable
optimism as to the passage of boxing
bill at this session. 1t was known thai
Governor Smith would be quite ready
to sign it and it was understood thsi
the Assembly would let il 60 through
Whether or not a boxing bill i.
passed, che international Sporting
Club has announced that it will hold
bouts and believes that this can be
done legally, for the international is
a bona fide club. In several upstate
cities they have been holding bouts in
clubs and they have not been inter
fercd with by the local authorities.
Bid for Carpenter Bout
The two leading Jersey promoter.
have been trying to induce Georges
Carpenter to sign up for some sort OF
a bout. They have not invited him to
try conclusions with either Dempsey
or Fulton. They are willing to LEI
him pick his man. But all that Car
pentier's manager, Deschamps. has
done so far has been to listen in
tently.
Carpenter will start soon on a theat-
ricai tour under the management Of
Jack Curley, the wrestling impresario.
One of his travelling mpanions prob
ably will be Joe Stecher
