By special correspondent.
TRENTON, Feb. 15.-Former As
semblyman Joseph F. Hurley. of

sional boxing in New Jersey and
other lovers OF sport. came to its
rescue here at the hearing before

to hear arguments for and against

This bill would wipe out n of
the best sports in the country. So
far as the administration Of the
present boxing commission is con-
cerned. / do not agree entirely with
certain policies. There have been
bouts in this state which looked TO
be off color and to use the verna-

Whether this is a matter touching
upon the course of the commission
in performing its duty, is not neces-
sarily a subject for discussion. There
will soon be a new commission of

Il do not wish TO infer that DEM

be more careful in making his Sc

article to the effect that Elizabeth

Schrimpf in an interview declared
he had lived in Perth Amboy six or
even years and at present resides
at 345 Market street, at which
place he was found when the inter-
view was desired.
The story of Schrimpf's rise is an
interesting and unusual one. He
has always been proficient with
gun from the time he was old
enough to handle an air rife at his
home in Newark before he entered
his teens. His father was a good
shot and believed in starting his son
off early. AS he entered his teens
Schrimpf was given a ~ calibre ri

points OF target Snooung.
Other boys of his age owned rifles
but non had the steady hand nor
