RING CONTROL

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 26.-
Among recommendations contained
in the report Of the State Legisla-
tive Investigating Committee, to be
made to the next legislature. is
the suggestion that control of box
ing in New Jersey, now in the
hands of State Comptroller Newton
A. K. Bugbee as State Athletic
Commissioner. could more than
consistently; be allied with some
other department.
The report surveyed the State
governmental organizations and
suggested consolidation and realign.
ments to effect economies and to
remedy present inconsistencies.
Referring to the dual role of Bug
bee, the report said:
Functions or activities are in
some cases improperly allocated.
They could better be allied with
other departments. The State comp
troller, for example, who is pri-
marily an auditing officer, is by
statute made the State Athletic
Commissioner, although there is no
logical reason why an accounting
officer should be intrusted with a
function that is primarily of a
police nature"

Another champion was Pompey,

Undisputed
Champion
at Nets

It was a momentous year n
tennis but when the general furore
subsidized and the dust settled,
William T. Tilden, End, remained
at the top once more. It was the
sixth successive year that Tilden
won the national championship
In mems singles, which IS tanta-
mount to world supremacy, in
view of the fact that the
Davis Cup stars Of all leading
countries were among the entries.
However. IL Tilden proved SUI
preme, Billy Johnston was his
equal In everything except physi-
cal strength. The big little man
from the Coast came on to the
champ onship facing what was be-
lieved to be the end Of his tether.
This impression was heightened
when he lost to DIR. George King
at Seabright but. thereafter, Billy
was not to be trifled with.
The Davis Cup Committee IN
sisted upon him battling Vincent
Richards for the second singles
position and Johnson proved his
superiority in two gruelIing
matches. Then he knocked of
Rene Lacoste and Jean Borotra,
the challenging French. without
trouble. In fact, Tilden experienced
much greater difficulty with the
French stars, each OF which carried
him to five sets after being within

within point of taking the second,
but volleyed out of court on an
easy kill" The point would have
given him the set at to and
saved much Of his strength. As It
was, it went to eighteen games
and Tilden won.
Tilden also won the clay court

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Sports,
Q seductive virus if ever there
was one, penetrated to the very
blood stream of the nation during
1925 and few-from ordinary mil
iionaires up to and including
prominent boothlacks escaped
incubation.
Crowds of 10000 were almost
commonplace at football games.
The world series between the
Pittsburgh Pirates and the Wash
ington Senators broke all finan-
cial records. Boxing played to
near-capacity crowds everywhere.
And even such a singular pastime
as six-day bicycle racing found
New York rioting. at the turn
stiles, day and night.
Big crowds mean big, serious
money. which inevitably leads to
cupidity and avarice. College presi-
dents talked at length on the so
called over-emphasizing OF sports
and some cynics intimated that an
enlarged bank note flew from every
amateur flag pole.
Seemingly. the Age Of CONNER
cialism in amateur athletics has
dawned.

publicized football player Of his
tory, didn't wait to finish his col.
lege course in his haste to turn
professional. Ernie Nevers, anOth.

. The movement toward bigger and
better dollars by no means was
confined to college football. Only a
few months ago, a trio of school
girls who happened to have achieved
the trick Of swimming faster than
their field deserted the amateur
ranks, in toto. and took UP well
paid positions as instructresses and
exhibitors at popular resorts. join
ing the banner originally held aloft
by Ethelda Blefbtrey.
They were Gertrude Ederle, Afleen
Riggin and Helen Wainwright, rated
among the greatest of women
swimmers and divers.
Next the tennis world was startled
to learn that Harvey Snodgrass,
No. in the national ranking of
1924. had accepted an offer to be-
come the professional at one of
the coast clubs. Snodgrass was the
first tennis player of any distinc-
ton whatever to openly capitalize
his ability. It was significant that
Bill Tilden, greatest Of all time,
was reported to have received
$4,000 offer and that Vincent Rich
ards. the coming champion, admit
ted that he had been approached
by real estate development men in
the guise of professional promoters.
It was the banner year OF sport.
But just what kind of a banner
they used was open to argument.
