SEEKS INJUNCTION
Chicago Post Plans Action
Against Police and Ref0rmers

Chicago, Feb. 16--Officials of var
ious Chicago American Legion posts
planned to seek an injunction today
to prevent Charles G. Fitzmorris,
chief of police, from enforcing his or
der clamping on the boxing lid here.
Several boxing contests between ma
tionally known boxers had been an
nounced or were being negotiated for
all net proceeds for the benefit of
former soldiers when Chief Fitzmor-
ris yesterday ordered the police to
halt bouts after Arthur Barrage Far
well, president of the Chicago Law
and Order League, called the atten-
ton of William Hale Thompson,
mayor, to the exhibitions.
Law Prohibits Fights.
The state law prohibits prize fight
ing where contests would be open to
the public and an admission charged.
The numerous contests during the
past fall and winter have been under
the guise of CLUB entertainments"
and although some of the best known
boxers have been engaged, with the
gate" running as high as $4,000 to
$4,000, there has been no catering
to the public and the sites were de-
signed in newspapers as suburban
club"
Reformers Failed Before.
Last December a club which was
boxing contests, with the
proceeds to be donated to charity, OBJ
tanned an injunction which prevented
police interference. Complaint at that
time was. said to have been made by
the Law and Order League.
The "headliners" at the next Amer
lean Legion show here would have
been Midget Smith of New York and
Joe Burman. of Chicago, regarded MS

To Protect Field from Rain

ithaca, N. Y, Feb. 16.-The Cor

chased large canvas tarpalin to pro-
tect the diamond on the new baseball
park against rain. A number of i'm
portant games have been called off
in recent years because rain had
soaked the field, although at the time
the game was scheduled to be played
it had ceased. Similar tarpalins are
used in some Of the major league
parks with considerable success, the

use would be sound insurance against
financial loss entailed by cancella-
tons such as have occurred here in
the last few years. The canvas COW
