the majors are now ready, it is
believed, to return to the COM

LOCALIZED Boxing Which
Women May Attend,
Advocated.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Legalized box

head OF one organization in Illinois
which has interested itself in the
passage Of a bill at the next ses-
sion OF the legislature at Spring.
field. This man believes that with
an efficient commission to rule the
sport, the boxing shows would find
many devotees from the fair sex.
why shouldn't women attend
boutsg' he asked. And why
shouldn't they enjoy them as much
as their brothers? During the war,
when boxing shows were held at
the Great Lakes naval training
station and Fort Sheridan, q big
percentage OF those at the ringside
were women. They apparently
found nothing repugnant about
boxing"
More Fair Ringsidns.
During the last year or two there
has been noticeable increase in
the number Of women patrons at
boxing shows. This would seem to
show the fair sex has found some
thing Of interest in boxing. But of
greater importance from our view
point is the presence OF women at
the boxing shows. An example Of
this was given when Worlds Cham
pion Jack Dempsey fought Gilly
Miske at Benton Harbor last La
Dor day.
In the crowd OF more than 1000
there were many women-a rough
guess would be that there were
1000 present-and their influence
made that boxing show perhaps the
most orderly big ring event the
writer ever witnessed.
Tone Down Boistereusaess.
There were plenty of thrills in
the three rounds fought, with .
knockout for the climax, but there
was an absence OF boisterousness.
The presence Of women kept the
men within bounds. and their in
fiuence is certain to work for the
betterment of boxing.
In Milwaukee, where bouts are
held in the big Auditorium. many
women may be found in the crowds.
Some have learned to like boxing
so well. according to Frank Null
kern who operates the National A.
c. of the Cream city, that they at

BY Dean Snyder.
The halo with which athletes
surround themselves is usually a
shortlived thing. But the case
of Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle In
dian, is an exception.
His greatness refuses to pass
with the years. Thorpe is the
great physical machine still. True,
he has lost some of his dash and
sturdiness. but he is wiser AID
more mature.
Time has chiseled lines in his
face and grayed his hair, but His
greatness remains a part of him.
He had big year in baseball
as an outfielder for the Akron
club of the International league
His batting average was we'll over
the 800 mark and he ran wild on
the bases.

Changing his spikes for his
cleats was a mere difference of
