Tex Richard Says Bout
Will Not Be Held IN State.

When Tex Rickard. promoter of til
Dempsey Carpenter match, and lesse
of Madison Square Garden. was in
formed last night of the interview
with Gov. Miller on the subject o
boxing, he replied:
'T am very much surprised to hear
that Gov. Miller made these state
ments. A man who is close to tho
Governor told me few days ago that
he was not opposed 70 boxing as con-
Quoted here, and that he had no in
tention OF changing the law. 1t
seems incredible that the Governor
was misquoted by my informant
$50 far as the Carpentier-Dempsey
match is concerned. Gov. Miller will
not be put to the trouble of prevent

OF bringing about any change in the
law | have not the remotest inten-
ton of attempting to pitch the ring
on the soil of the Empire State.
Originally. I had hoped to put the
men in the ring near New York city,
for the reason that IL would have
been close to the centre OF population.
There is widespread interest in the
match and nearly everybody will
want TO be present.
However. when the New York
Boxing Commission, quite illegally,
In my opinion, put limit OF SIS on
the price Of tickets, that settled the
match so far as New York Is con-
cerned. Therefore. that part OF the
Governors troubles arc ended before
tfey begin.
Il am astonished that Gov Miller
should have singled out Madison
Square Garden as target for criti-
clsm. for never In the history Of the
sport have bouts been so well con-
Quoted and so thoroughly on the
level as in that arena.

Boxing as it is now being conducted
In this State does not meet with Gov.
Miller's approval. Declaring that he is
opposed to commercial boxing matches,
az staged in Madison Square Garden
and in clubs throughout the State, the
Governor came out strongly to-day for
State regulation which will put the
sport ION the level"
The Dempsey Carpenter fight viii
not be decided in this State. Ii the
existing law does not prevent it there
will be passed new law which will
make such a fight illegal. The Gov
crnor made that very clear.
Asked whether he had decided to rec
ommend to the Legislature enactment
of a measure creating one commission
to handle all sports. the Governor said
no had not yet been able to take up the
subject, but was expecting every day
he would.
1.-The general belief in the Legislature
is that you frown upon the continuance
of boxing and are undecided whether
or not you should recommend its aboli-
tion." the Governor was told.
mo. I don't frown on boxing" re-
piled the Governor. II used to box
myself. / think 1t is a very wholesome
sport IL conducted properly. ! do frown
on the way 1t is being conducted to-
day. think 1t should be made a sport
and not commercial enterprise. ]
think If II cannot be conducted on the
Level it should not be conducted al all. :
There Is talk OF holding the Demp-
sey-Carpentier fight in this State; would
you tolerate that?"
II don't believe that viii get much be-
yond talk the Governor said. with a
laugh. He was asked whether the bout
could be stopped under existing laws
and answered: IF II cannot ! think
we ought 10 have law that would
enable us to stop It."
do you favor the bill now pending to
impose a IL per cent tax on gate re-
ceipts of racing meets?"
That is a matter l have no; studied
at ALL"
The Governor added that he still hao
in mind calling a conference OF sporting
writer's some time next week 10 get
their views on the whole subject.

ROD AND GUN NEWS


Trout anglers viii have a chance to try
their luck tomorrow, and II Is more than
likely that the fellow who goes to his hidden
away stream Will find company, for the
tackle stores have been delugcd with men
buying flies and lures and hooks and lead
ers At this writing the law permits one to
retain trout that are six inches or longer
and requires that the smaller ones be re-
turned TO the water. IL also permits an
angler 20 take ten pounds in day. II you
are n resident OF this State you may fish
without a license: II you live In some other
state you are required TO take out nom
resident license costing $3.50.
All this Il very simple and easy to re-
member. but Il win be well for the angler
to keep some other prominent facts In his
mind. They are these: bill has been
introduced at Albany 10 Increase the length
OF trout you may retain 10 seven instead OF
sic inches and to allow an angler TO take
twenty-five fish instead OF ten pounds. This
bill would become law upon being signed by
the Governor and many trout fishermen
might innocentiy be committing infractions
OF the law.
This matter Is mentioned here because OF a
number ~ Inquiries made OF THE NEW
YORK HERALD as 10 whether this bill had
been signed by the Governor. The Con-
servation Commission office IN New York
was asked by telephone yesterday at 10
o'clock II they had any news OF the passage
OF this measure and the Inspector said they
While II H. perfectly right that the proper
regulations should exist In as far as they
apply. to the length OF the fish TO be re-
ta ined and tho number amount 10 he
taken, Il would be entirely wrong and un-
Just 10 spring such changes on the very cvc
of tho opening day, when SO many anglers
arc so situated that they could not know OF
the changes.
II Is generally conceded that trout fisher.
men have no quarrel with tho laws regu-
iating trout fishing In this state. They are
willing 90 abide by that which is considered
fair and just but they VIII be found op-
posed In body to any sudden change that

not had chance to learn Of the change.

Shawnee Ont OF Luck.

It begins to look as II Shawnee Coun-
try Club is to be slightly out of luck If 1t
has been counting on having George
Duncan, the British open champion, and
his travelling companion, the equally
brilliant Abe Mitchell participate in the
open tournament to be held there July
IL and 10. BY the way matters are now
shaping themselves, such contingency
does not seem possible.
In any event present arrangements are
to the effect that the Britons will open
their tour at Pelham Country Club on
Monday. July II, against Barnes and
Hutchison and return to the same course
the following day for a match with
Chick Evans and Bobby Jones. This
will be Pelham's grand opening. and the
club long ago selected these dates, bas-
ing it's judgment on the fact that Dun
can and Mitchell will in all likelihood
leave England on the Aquitania on July
2. which should bring them to these
shores not later than Friday, July s, or
the following day.
But IL is rather surprising to find that
while Pelham is sewing up Duncan and
Mitchell on the twelfth, at the same time

BUFF KNOCKS OUT
GOLDSTEIN IN I'd
Jersey Flyweight Wins Bout
in Quick Time in Manhat-
tan Casino Ring.
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsON.

Johnny Buff. a rugged flyweight from
Jersey City, last night clinched his claim
&c the title OF the class when he stopped
Abe Goldstein of Harlem in the second
round OF a bout scheduled for fifteen
rounds at the Manhattan Casino. The
downfall of New York's favorite bantam
was 80 unexpected and sudden that the
big crowd that filled the arena could
hardly believe their eyes.
Goldstein started the first round by
outboxing and outhittng Buff. but ow-
ing to the Harlem boy landing a low
blow that caused the Jerseyman to
vince the victim of the illegal punch
was credited witn an even break in the
session, Goldstein losing points for the
foul.
When Buff came out for the second
round he began a very aggressive cam
paign and landed with frequency on
Goldstein's face and body. Goldstein
responded with left handlers to The
face and suddenly hooked a left to Buff $
chin that caused the Jerseyman knees
to sag Goldstein rushed at mis- oppo-
nent and tried to land n finishing blow.
but Buff used his feet and got out OF
range
Goldstein chased after Buff. who came
out of corner and stood his ground in
the centre Of the ring. Goldstein start
ed left hook for Bluffs jaw, but the
latter countered with right on Gold
stems chin and the Harlem boy fell
over on his back.
Referee Patsy Haley counted method
ically over Goldstein, who turned on his
side at "fve" and struggled to his feet
at mine. He sought TO put up his hands
in defence. but toppled over on his back
again.
He tried again to rise, but collapsed
and was helped to his corner by the
referee and seconds. II would have
been impossible for Goldstein to have
continued the battle, as he was unable
even to get onto his feet.
II Is not unlikely that Goldsteins at
tempt to make the flyweight limit of
~ pounds had much to do with his
speedy defeat Both he and Buff
weighed 10 pounds at 2 o'clock yester-
Gay afternoon. and Goldstein, whose
normal fighting weight is lis to III
mounds, was drawn so fine a gust OF
wind would have blown him away. As
matter Of fact, the first hard blow
trat Buff landed knocked all the fight
cut of Goldstein.

"C0unt Me Out," Ouimefs
Final Word on Golf Trip
Woodland Amateur Again States Emphatically He
Will Not Go to England Member of
American Amateur Team
ny KERR N. PETRIE.

While the golfers are playing the game
of the celebrated Mr. Finnigan in respect
to the invitation to join the merry party
which William c. Fownes, Jr., of Pitts
burgh Is taking with him to Hoylake,
England. in the hope of being able to
bring back the championship trophy
which Walter j. Travis wrested from the
British linksmen away back In 1904,
there is one well known star who reso-
lutely refuses to be swerved from his
purpose, which is to stay at home and
give his whole attention to his business
during working hours and his leisure
time to his infant daughter Barbara.
Nor is there any possibility of Francis
Ouimet being coaxed. wheedled or cajoled
into giving the affirmative answer for
which golfers in general are hoping. by
all accounts Only the other day an
attempt was made to have Francis
change his mind and declare himself
once and for all as member of the in
vading team. The fact that no impress
sion was made on the Woodlander In
this onslaught leaves little hope. Nor.
In the opinion of his close friends. Is he
likely to be swayed now, no matter how
the case Is presented to him or how
strong the inducements
Ouimet last autumn entered into an
entirely new line of business. He feels.
therefore, that this summer would be a
poor time for him to be going away TO
England when he still Is wrestling with
so much detail. But that is not the only
reason why he does not look with favor
on the proposed trip. Even IL there we're
no such questions as those of business
and home ties to hold him, the fact that
the British championship is played on
the eighteen hole plan instead of the
thirty-six in all likelihood would deter
him.
Ouimet had one taste Of the British
championships under these conditions
and does not like it.
Does Not Like Arrangements.
This Is just one more reason why !
don't intend to go to Hoylake this year.
he told the party who tried to influence
him. "A single round OF eighteen holes
Is not my idea OF how an important
championship ought to be conducted. 1t
leaves too much room for snap deci-
sion, as evidence the defeat Of Chick
Evans at the hands OF G. b. Macfarlane
when we were last abroad in 1914.
''Macfarlane played uncanny gols cn
the first nine and had Evans something
like down at the turn. although Chick
himself had played the nine holes in
36. On the second nine Evans got
enough Of the holes back to show thai
In all likelihood he would have won
had there been no fireworks by his
opponent on the first half of the .ound
Then after beating Evans with that flash
of supergolf Macfarlane played a very
ordinary game in the next round and
fell before a very ordinary golfer. De-
spite that 81 Evans would have beaten
Macfarlane had the match been A. thir
ty-six instead of at eighteen holes. No

count me out this year"

However, facts are facts. 1t may
