REGISTRATION OF BOXERS BY BOARD
 PLAN BEFORE MEET

NEW YORK, Jan. 24,-Creation of to act as clearing house for in- formation on professional pngilists and adoption of a standardized uni versal code of ring regulations were favored here by delegates attending the National Boxing Association, which represented boxing commis- sions in IS of 21 states and five foreign countries where the sport is legaliZed.
 Lay Off Big Bout The association took no action on a suggestion that it seek to prevent the proposed return bout for the worlds heavyweight championship Letween Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard on the ground than the lat ter is not fit opponent for the champion. President w. R. Ligineer If Milwaukee declared, however, that in lis opinion the N. B. A. had no jurisdiction over the matter and that Il was a question solely for state authorities to decide if an issue arose.
 Tile proposed registration bureau, as devised and outlined by Tex 0 Rourke, ecretary-treasurer of the W. 2. A, would be conducted under the direct supervision of the asso- ciatioH, subject to the approval of boxing commissions in New York and Massachusetts. Both commis- sions have declined so far to affiliate with the N E. A, but it is under stood taar ti.cy are ready to cooper lte in carryl4s out the national regis .raticn plan
 Register Puelists Every professional boxer would be required to register with the bureau, according to Mir. O'Rourke, at a cost not to exceed g., and would be given an Identification card which would serve as a passport to engagement anywhere in the country The plan would include distribution of de. tailed information on all boxers and weekly bulletins on results of fights
 Supporters of the idea believe that it would do away with a great deal cl misrepresentation connected with boxing as well as protect both pro- moters and participants.

One o., George Ade.

WRITING photoplays with certain
w titlen can have drawbacks, George
Ade has found. especially when one
lives in a small town like Brook, Ind,
where there is plenty of time to gos-
sip.
Recently one Of Mr.. AIDES old neigh
bors picked up a paper and read a
headline which has these words
George AIDES Back Home and
Broke" This referred to the story
which Mr.. AIDE recently wrote for
Thomas Meighan, and which was
produced as a Paramount picture.
The incident amused Mr.. AIDE SO
much that he wrote the following let
ter to Mr.. Meighan:
This is not press agent story. il
is true and twice as funny as any
thing that could be invented. Out al
my home town, Brook, Ind, there is
an old bird who is very deaf-hard OF
hearing and also hard of understand :
ing. He picked up a paper two or
three weeks ago and saw the heading
George AIDES Back Home and
Broke"
He is a representative American
citizen, believing everything that he
sees in the papers. So he has been
spreading the news. and he is so deaf
that no one can set him right. Most
of the people believe him. and there is
said to be general rejoicing, and a
great many neighbors call attention
to the fact that they predicted that
would show up sooner or later"
