lieve that I have done the right thing
in standing behind the Pennsylvania
law in the matter of the Dempsey
Tunney boxing match. So believing, /
see no reason why l should not attend
the match myself, and 1 have ar
ranged to do SO. Also, l earnestly hope
to see Tunney win"
The text Of Rev. Mr.. Scanlon's let
ter was not made public. but at the
executives offices it was said 1t called
upon the governor to take action to
prevent the championship match to-
morrow night.
The governor characterized boxing
as an admirable exercise" and one Of
the principal factors in conditioning
American soldiers in the World War,
and pointed out that the money the
State collects as tax on boxing
matches goes toward fund for Penn
sylvania memorials on the European
battlefields.
The amount which the State will
get for this purpose as a result of the
Dempsey-Tunney fight is expected to
total about SIS 900. Under the State
boxing law the tax amounts to per
cent of the total gross receipts, exciu-
sive of any Federal tax.
The governor called the clergymans
attention particularly to the fact that
the nations in which boys and men
are in the habit of doing their fight
ing with their fists are precisely those
in which they are not in the habit or
using the knife or the bullet for that
purpose"
