Bill to Define Amateur Boxing
Following the introduction last
week by Senator Lane of Andros-
coggin of an act to create a State
Athletic Commission for the super
vision and regulation of boxing and
wrestling matches in the State, an
other bill Of interest to boxing fans
will make its appearance this week.
This will define amateur boxing in
this State and is designed to put the
spcrt on firm basis. Senator An
thoine of Cumberland will offer the
measure.
The bill has the sanction OF COM
mander Belliveau of the American
Legion, ami probably will have the
solid backing of this body. 1t was
drafted by Attorney Maurice Rud-
man of the Andrews Post OF Port
land.
This law Is passed would provide
that amateur boxing bouts may be
conducted by any organization hav-
ing the sanction of the Amateur
Athletic Union, ard that decisions
may be given and prizes awarded to
amateur boxers. The prizes must
be medals, watches, or merchandise
, and not cash.
There is also a provision to change
the weight differences between box
ers which now obtains in the State
boxing law. No boxers differing
more than five pounds in weight may
compete, according to the present
act. This is said to be a ridiculous
| clause, directly contrary to all in
ternational boxing codes, in which
greater leeway in weight Is allowed
! between boxers of the heavier di"i-
sions than those in the lightweights.
Among Hearings for the Week
The lawmakers will come back
next Tuesday afternoon at 4.30
o'clock for the ninth week Of the leg
| islative session. One Of the most inn
| portant of the hearings of the week
is that assigned for Tuesday. March

the act changing the tax upon the

London Sees Danger
OF German Crisis

London. Feb. % (By A. P)-The
presidential crisis in Germany, COM
ing after the so recent ministerial
crisis both in the Reich and Prussia
neither Of which could be settled
except by quite unsatisfactory COM
ptomises-is viewed in political and
diplomatic quarters in London as a
matter of the greatest gravity.
The position Is aggravated by the
fact that there seems to be no known
figure in German craftsmanship to
whom fate points inevitably as sue
cesSor TO Ebert. Nobody seems to
have the faintest idea on whom the
mantle will fall: therefore it is felt
that anything may happen to make
matters worse. The Weimar consti-
tuition appears to have made no pro-
vision for definite method of elect
ing president.
The fear in political quarters in
London is that under the existing
conditions in Germany a presidential
election may register a further move
monarchist sentiments.
Two names prominently mentioned
as possible successors to Ebert are
DR.. Luther. the chancellor. and Will
helm Marx, former chancellor. The
political tendencies of neither of
these statesmen are such as to give
confidence of future smooth progress
of the relations of Germany with her
| neighbors.
The evacuation of the Cologne
zone, the question of French securi-
ty, the Geneva protocol, and the
proposed commercial treaty between
Germany and France will all be af-
fected by the outcome of the new
presidential election.
Herr Ebert's term of office. had he
lived. would end in June. But, al
though he had expressed a wish not
to stand again as presidential
candidate. there was always the
chance of his reelection which
would avoid disturbance In the flow
of political international affairs and
tend to smooth the progress of the
execution of the Dawes plan.
There will now be an uncertain Pc
r1od of waiting, until the election of
Eberts successor in June.
Nothing has yet been announced
i here whether the British court will
enter an official mourning period for
the dead President. but since the
King has been prompt to convey his
condolences to Herr Eberts family
and as the two countries are on a
friendly footing, it is felt likely that
such an official step will be taken.

lowed the mail carrier and
taken letters from mall boxes
and redistributed them in the
community according to their
own notions OF efficient service.
