So -RACING--- BOXING---SP
COMMISSION STOPS
BOXING LICENSES
Action in Issuing No More Will
Prevent PRO- Bouts in
the ArmOries.
BY CHARLES f. MATHIsoN.

The State Athletic Commission took
action yesterday that effectually dis
poses of the question OF professional
boxing bouts in the armories of the New
York National Guard. The commission
not only decided not to issue any more
licenses but announced that they would
cut down the present number of clubs
as quickly as possible. The commission
was actuated by the belief that there
are more clubs In existence than are re-
quired to meet the public demand for
bouts and that this situation must be
met by reduction.
The text of the announcement by the
commission as as follows:
The commission refuses to grant
any more licenses. 1t Is their opn-
Ion that there are in existence more
clubs than there Is demand for
It Is the policy of the commission to
reduce the number as quickly as
possible without hurting any one
financially who Is now conducting
club.
The commission is ready and will
ing to consider the transfer of a
license from Individual to invidual,
or. in other words, from manager to
manager. but not from place to
place. A place that Is now operating
under license can change proprie-
tors II all conditions under the law
are complied with.
Court Action Intimated.
This decision by the commission puts
the military armories so far as pro-
fessional boxing is concerned exactly
where they were previous to the issu-
ance of the order by Adjt.-Gen. Kincaid
opening the Guard buildings to profess
sional promoters. Bouts In which the
contestants are service men can still
be held, but the professional promoters
and boxers are still barred.
The order of the commission not only
snuffs out the expectation of certain
promoters Of staging bouts in armories,
but 1t will serve as check on the
ambition of promoters who have In mind
projects involving the establishment of
new clubs outside Of armories. Pro-
moters, including Billy Gibson, have i'm
portant plans as to new arenas and
under the ruling these will all have
to be abandoned
Billy Wellman and Jack Curley had
applications before the commission for
licenses to operate in armories, and 1t
was understood that Wellman had prac-
tically arranged a match between Benny
Leonard and Jack Britton to take place
February 90, but this will be thrown into
the discard.
Gibson and his associates had planned
huge arena at Dyckman oval, where
championship events were to be staged.
and this also will necessarily be deferred
till such time as the law Is amended to
| permit.
| Gibson intimated last night that ne
and hia associa tes might take the mat
| ter into court on the ground that 1t Is
unconstitutional The action of the com
mission was the cause of much excite
ment in sporting circles, and many pro.
moters claimed that the ruling woulc
not stand the acid test of court trial
So long as the decision stands, no new
boxing clubs can be established In this
State, and any club that surrenders It's
license cannot be reestablished.

Challenge Round Made
Optional by British

I ONDON, Dec. 29.-The lawn
tennis championship committee.
has dispatched letters to the
holders of all-England championships
giving them the option In the season
Of 1922 of waiting out until the chal-'
lenge round or playing through.
The action OF the British Lawn
Tennis Association is not unexpected.
Ever since William T. Tilden I'd,
Americas champion. requested the
English officials last spring to per-
NIT him TO play through in defense
Of his British title won in 1920 there
has been considerable agitation in
favor OF having the title holders
play through instead Of standing out
until the challenge round. Tilden
was not granted his request at the
time. but it was apparent that a
change would be adopted before an
other season. The difference now be-
tween the American and British rules
is that here playing through Is COM
pulsory. whereas the British have
made 1t optional with the champions.

ference circles professed to see q
chance that some new issue had arisen
which might obscure some of the major
plans of the conference.

Meantime the japanese announced
they had prepared to present at the
next meeting of the far eastern com
mittee, now expected to be held next
week, statement in opposition to
China's request for abrogation Of the
agreements that resulted from the
twenty zone demands" aNo further
instructions came from Toxic to per-

naval discussions would continue to
occupy the major attention OF the
delegates until after Christmas.
the submarine was presented to the
committee by Lord Lee, chief of the
British admiralty, who declared under
water craft not only outraged all con-
siderations of humanity but by IL
legitimate methods jeopardized the ma
tional life Of the British Isles.
As a defensive weapon, he argued,
the submarine had proved inefficient
except in a limited way.
Three Uphold Submarine
Albert Sarraut, Senator Schanzer
and Vice Foreign Minister Hanlhara,
speaking respectively for France, Italy
and Japan, replied that although sub
marines must be held more closely
within the. practices of humane war
fare, abolition would remove an I'M
portant element of national security
They all expressed warm appreciation
of the presentation Of the case by Lord
Lee, but Indicated they could not agree
with him as to the submarines de-
fensivc values.
For the United States, Secretary
Hughes suggested that the one note Of
unanimity apparent among all the pow
.ers was in relation to such restrictions
rs would remove the abhorrent features
Of submarine warfare in the world war.
He read a report by subcommittee
of the American advisory. committee
recommending retention of under-sur-
vice warships under proper regulation,
and proposed that attention be given
to the possibility of bringing the sub
marine operations against merchant
vessels within the well-establlshed
principles of search and seizure under
international law.
AS an alternative, the secretary sug-
geSted thar the conference uiisAt c'en
consider whether use Of submarines
against merchant shipping under any
circumstances should be forbidden.
At Fridays meeting, Admiral de Bon
for France, will make a further argu-
ment for retention of the submarine
and it was said that, even if he were
not ready to present in full the esti-
mates of the French government as to
all classes Of auxiliary craft, he prob
ably would reveal what submarine
Tonnage is desired.

CKARRED MAN SHOT
BEFORE SCHOOL WAS
MADE PYRE FOR BODY
Minnesota Country Place Has
Murder Mystery; Killed in
Auto Blood Shows.

Anoka. Mimi, Dec. 22.-An autopsy
performed Thursday afternoon by Cor
oner H 2. Thurston, over the charred
body of a man found early in the day
in the ruins of country school near
Dayton station, about five miles from
here, showed that one bullet had
pierced the heart before the body was
thrown into the burning building
Whether more bullets had entered the
body, the coroner said, was undeter-
minable because of the burned condi-
ton of the body.
The fire, which is believed to have
been started about 4 n. M, destroyed
the schoolhouse. 1t was not discoy-
cred, however, until a. m, when the
driver of milk truck passed the build
ing.
Investigation showed that the man
had been dragged about $50 feet from
an automobile to the school, blood
tracks being visible along the ground.
The only hope of Identification of
the body is by three gold-filled teeth
and possibly by gold watch, which
was found partly melted near the body.

Washington, Dec. 22.-(By The AS
sociated Press Great Britains plea
that the submarine be banished from
the seven seas was presented to the
arms conference Thursday, but it re-
ceived no support from any other
power.
In turn, the spokesmen of France.
Italy, and Japan replied that they re-
garded submarines, when properly en-
ployed. as legitimate and valuable
arm of naval strength, and were I'M
prepared to see them abolished.
The American delegates took no final
stand on the question, but suggested
that the conference turn it's efforts to-
ward such revision of international
practices as would prevent a repetition
Of the ruthless submarine methods of
the world war.
A further exchange of views en- the
British proposal will take place Fri
day unless France, whose representa-
tives again are awaiting instructions
from their premier, is prepared 10 go
ahead with the delayed presentation of
estimates for auxiliary craft she de-
sires to keep under the naval reduction
program. The French indicated that
they hoped, at Fridays meeting to, at
least, make known their exact require
ments as to submarine tonnage.
British to Press Point
Thursdays discussions took place
behind the closed doors of the commit
tee room, but the British asked that
their indictment of the submarine be
made public, and indicated that they
probably would carry their fight later

Announcement of the French that
they were unprepared to present fig

prise in conference circles. Before the
committee meeting they had indicated
that their estimates were ready, but
later it became apparent that cable
exchanges of an important nature were

Secretary Hughes joined as the con-

The nature of the exchanges was not

was attached to a news dispatch from
