New York Boxing Commission Puts
 Limit On Prices

NEW YORK, Jan. IA $15 maxi mum admission for championship box ag contests in this state and $10 for ordinary bouts was ordered today by he state boxing commission. Excep- ton is made only in the cases of boues for charitable purposes. The commis , sion notified clubs to arrange no bouts Il higher prices.
 Declaring high prices of tickets have been caused, largely by the ex- Iorbitant demands of certain boxers, who have apparently cared little about the public upon whom they must de- pend for their awards the commission said "The time has come when this selfish and shortsighted attitude must be corrected"
 The commission believes high rates bring "a hardship upon the man of moderate means. who is just as much entitled to see champions as his wealthier neighbor."

 Cav Paree continues to be the main hangout of occult boxers. It's the only place the boys seem to be able to get away with it.
 The hypnotic magic, accredited to them lover There" gets the short circuit when it is tried out lover Here"
 Carpentier gets a lot of publicity out of the hypnotic eye stuff at home but when he came to the U. S. A. he had to use both his mitts to push over Levinsky just like any ordinary guy.
 On the Carpet
 Now Johnny Coulon, who carries around a brain and a pocket full of You owe-m mes" on Chicago banks. is knocking 'em dead over in Paris this winter with the old occult trick.
 French scientists have a hunch Johnny is getting money under false pretenses by posing as a boxer when he ought to be in the category of a hypnotist so they have hauled him on the carpet.
 Coulon is defying the strong men of the country to lift his 110 pounds off the floor.
 Secret Nerve This is how he does it. Johnny ! touches a nerve in the would lift | CTS wrist and a button under the chin and he is all the same as the rock of ! Gibraltar He can't be budged.
 If he gets this combination touch on

his ring opponents they are supposed to go limp and hang out their chins with the sign attached park here" on them and Johnny knows what to do under such circumstances.
 Maurice Deriaz, the strongest man in Picardy, has posted 1000 francs as a side bet that he can boost the Chi cago bantam off the floor. All of which makes Coulon's popularity reg ister high fever in the gay capital.
 Law of Physics Johnny's trick is an old one. He was pulling it here at home five years ago. At O'Connell's gymnasium in l Chicago Frank Gotch, Hackenschmidt, Joe Rodgers, Leo Pardello and others | tried to lift the midget off the floor on a supper bet. But they paid for Coulon's supper.
 l New York scientists in discussing the matter say that Coulon is proba- | bly, employing a law of physics or | the stunt.
 | Coulon was over in Paris about a year ago. He made himself solid with the boxing fans by kayoing Juliard, | the French bantam champ. American critics awaited Johnny's return home with enthusiasm. thinking maybe he had found his punch But the first fellow he was matched with | potted him for the count of ten. 1 After Wilde Coulon says his chief reason for | failing to get going here at home is his size.
