The county officials have announced
they will take no action looking to-
ward prohibiting the contest In their
opinion it is to be a boxing exhi-

therefore. does not violate the In

it is to be przefight.
Considerable discussion is being
aroused as to just what form of ac-

hold that the governor cannot legally
declare the bout a priZefight before 1t

the officials that the determining of
whether the bout was violation of
the law would be left in their hands.
