Equalization Board
Reports; Valuation
Reduced For Year

Following long and laborious
session of three weeks, in which the
Equalization Board was confronted
with variety of heavy tasks, the
board completed its work Tuesday
and turned over the books to the
county court clerk, who will be call
ed upon to procure report from
the state equalization board.
As the tax rate cannot be fixed
until approved by the County Court
and as the court does not regularly
meet again until the first Monday in
October, it has been suggested, and
would seem advisable that special
session of the court be called to fix
the rate, and permit the books to be
gotten ready for the trustee at the
lawful time, as at the July term of
court the court could not act be-
cause the board had not then COM
pleted its work.
Although the board made net
raise of $29,250 over assessed prop
erty valuations, last years total val
uation of $16,953, 100 was decreased
to $14,0O0,00O, which is around a 20
per cent reduction.

Charge That Spengler Cannot
Make Weight Limit of Mid
dleweight Glass.
Nv CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

An interesting controversy has arisen
in reference to the international bouts
between British champions of the police.
this country. These bouts. which were
arranged by the International Sporting
Club, are to be contested the latter par.
of this month, but unless an adjustment
of differences is effected the middle
weight combat between the police boxers
may be missing.
Harry Mallin of London holds the mid
dleweight championship of the British
hobbies, and 1t is understood that Billy
Spengler. for many years an amateur
champion and who competed at the
Olympic games will be put forward as
Mallins opponent. 1t Is at this point
that the dispute. which refers TO weigat,
arises. The contests are to be held un-
der the sanction of the international
Amateur Boxing Federation, the rules OF
which were in force in the Olympic
bouts at Antwerp. The middleweght
limit under those rules is 160 pounds
eight hours previous to entering the ring.
Mallin is able to make this weight han
dily, but 1t Is asserted that Spengier
cannot do better than 1876 or ITO pounds.
If this Is the case, and Spengler has not
as yet admitted his inability to make the
official weight. then the bout would be
at catchweights and the championship
feature would be eliminated.
Mallin Is disinclined to meet Spengler
unless the latter conforms to the weight
conditions, and a difficult situation con-
fronts the promoters of the tourney.
Woes of Up-Staters.
While there is no disposition in this
city to rejoice at the troubles of the up
State boxing promoters. still 1t Is diff
cult to restrain a smile at the predlca-
ment In which they find themselves. 1t
will be remembered that during the time
intervening between the repeal of the
Frawley law and the enactment of the
Walker law, when boxing in this State
was illegal. clubs In cities in the north
ern part of the State went along Sc
renely staging boxing bouts every week.
There was not the slightest interference
with them. but If a promoter in this
city tried to put on bouts he was COM
PEELED to get out an injunction to pre-
vent interference by the police, even
though the contests were for the benefit
of some patriotic or charitable object.
This state of affairs was CALLING TO the
promoters in this section OF the state,
but they had TO, grin and bear II.
Now comes wall from the promoters
upstate to the effect that since boxing
has again been legalized no boxers will
sign for bouts in their clubs because
of the large purses offered In this city.
In fact, the upstate promoters have
appealed to the Boxing Commissioners
to use their authority 20 compel boxers
to go north and compete for smaller
purses than they can get here. 1t will
be interesting to watch the results OF
the experiment.
