GOliath's Failure to Weigh In
for David Had No Ill
Effects.
BY CHARLES F. MArHIsoN.

The opinion seems to prevail in some
quarters that all persons engaged In the
business of boxing should pussyfoot like
dry enforcement agent. Many esti-
mable persons seem oppressed by the
fear that II any boxing man talks above
whisper the Walker law will be re-
pealed. II an important match is pro-
posed the alarmists gasp with horror as
they calculate 1T will kill the game"
That has been favorite warning
since the finish fight between David and
Goliath. There was much opposition
to the bout because Goliath failed to
weigh in at p. NJ. But the game was
not killed at that time, nor has 1t been
killed since that period.
Previous to the Dempsey-Carpentier
bout 1t was dolefully predicted that so
momentous a match. with its half mill
ion In purses, million and a half in
gate receipts, with nearly 100000 per-
sons in attendance. would result In the
early demise of boxing as sport
Far from boxing being laid away in
the mausoleum of sport the contest be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter served
to inject more interest into the game
than anything else In half a century.
The latest melancholy murmuring is
to the effect that If Harry Wills and
Jack johnson are permitted to box in
this State the Walker law will be re-
pealed. II Is true that johnson is a
convict and confessed faker. But
there are many other takers engaged in
the business. some of whom hold official

from boxing because he double crossed

Cleanup All Around.
There should be a general cleanup.
and not an attempt to make it appear
that the only sport in which dishonesty
exists is boxing.
Boxing has been a football for poll
ticians for many years, and indications
are not lacking that it will continue to
be kicked about by statesmen who have
axes to grind.
1t does not follow because there are
evil elements in boxing that the entire
structure Is defective. The same applies
to baseball and other sports. None of
these forms of recreation and entertain
ment can IT, destroyed through weak
spots in the structure, but every time
some one connected with boxing Is found
wanting, a cry goes up that the sport
has been slaughtered. That theory was
smashed by 10000 convincing arguments
at Jersey City July 2.
Another bugaboo is against mixed
matches. which 1t is said are calculated
to stir up race prejudice. Thirty years
ago when the negro question was In
critical stage George Dixon went to New
Orleans and knocked out Jack Sicily.
No race riots followed.
Harry Wills stopped Fred Fulton in
three rounds in a Jersey ring and no
race riots followed.
There Is no danger of a negro getting
chance at the heavyweight title be-
cause Dempsey has drawn tho color line.
SO the alarmists may rest In peace.

ROARING FORTIES
TO BATTLE AGAIN
Yachts to Resume Contests at
Larchmont and on the
Big Cruise.
BY ARTHUR r. ALDRIDGE.

Several yachts made their appearance
at Larchmont on Saturday for the first
time this year. Among these was the
Monsoon, T. d. NJ. Strachan's 40-footer,
and. having no class competitor, It raced
with the Nahma, 31-rater, over the
long course Of twenty-one miles. Mon
soon was to allow full time allowance.
She finished 9 minutes So seconds ahead
of Mamma, but the committee. having no
measurement certificate, could not fig
ure the allowance. Assuming that the
Monsoon measures 3S feet rating she
would have to allow 10 minutes sec
onds, which would give the victory to
Nahma. In the Indian Harbor Yacht
Club regatta MAMMA defeated the
Larchmont 80 footers handily. Both of
these races were sailed in light. fuky
winds. 1t would be interesting to see
what these yachts would do in mod
crate. steady wind. and II Mr.. Hanan
elects to take part in the cruise of the
New York Yacht Club with Nahma, the
meeting of the 80, 40 and so footers
and the MAMMA will furnish racing well
worth witnessing.
1t is very probable that the 40 foot
ers that took part in the cruise of the
Eastern Yacht Club will Join the fleet
at Larchmont early this week and fur
nish Mr.. Strachan all the class racing
he wants and II there are some good
strong winds, Monsoon and her owner
will be in their element.
Two Norwegian yachts. Pingvin and
Tamara, are now racing in these waters.

In the handicap class. Last week the
Tamara arrived and In three days was
rugged and ready for racing. They
started on Saturday in the handicap
class and Pingvin won, and In special
class, Pingvin beat Tamara 81 seconds.
The handicap class is booming. Yachts
men who own yachts that do not fit any
regular or special class enter this divi-
sion, and as the handicaps, which are
figured by w. p. Stephens. change each
week, some time during the season every
yacht should win one or more races.
Three members of the Iselin family
are sailing their yachts in tho Larch-

An interesting feature OF the match
is the fact that wilson tried to make
Robinson do 1853 pounds. but the best

Evidently Wilson wanted to have Rob-

the negro did not fall into the trap.
Wilson declared that even had Robin

Today, tomorrow and next day, at least, the News Miner is deprived of the assistance of it's City Editor Art Editor, Society Editor, Police Court and Around-the-Town reporters, prac- tically our entire Staff, Hjalmar Nor dale having gone to Kokomo Creek this morning taking all of them with him (under his hat).
 Being deprived of their assistance in getting out this Great Family Journal might not have been consider. ed a depravity, except that the fault is all Seattles-no good can come out of Seattle. Ever since Kokomo Creek showed color this spring the Seattle papers and papers from other outside coast towns have been after IS daily for stampede news of Komoko. We figure that if those fellers who went outside and are so anxious to get back need an excuse upon which they can raise the money THERE, they ought to have it, and we are willing to oblige so when yesterday the Seattle Post-Intel- hgencer wired us for hurry-up story of Kokomo creek to date, accompanied by six artistic pictures of scenes along kokomo, we gave Hjalmar orders to get busy and fill the prescription. and he is on lis way That's why this is one-man paper today.
 We don't know whether it is the de- sire upon the part of Seattle to start hegira of the old Fairbanksans back to their Own Home Town or whether it is the efforts of the ol timers ex- pended upon the Pee-Eye to bring about this to them there will immedi- ately go out to asking questions re- gardlng any ol timers private life We know that if we were in Seattle we would be willing to join in robbing bank for the herewithall to get to hell away from there, and there are prob- ably many there just like us. So when Hjalmar arrives with the pic- lures and the details of Kokomo. they will immediately go out to Seattle moving" story that will be just what the Pee-Eye and hundred million want at this time, and that the story may be sure to be just like that we will write it ourself.
 So long as the money from THERE to send them HERE, it is all right with us-money from HERE to send them from THERE; we'll money you get thataway never does you no good. Fairbanks News Miner.
