ment arose among members q

An argument arose among members
of the association, here for their an
nual convention, over the endorsement
of Taylor for the bantamweight title.
The convention earlier had support
ed the action of the Illinois boxing
commission in suspending Rosenberg
for life and transferring his crown to
Taylor. When the championship list
came up for action, however, there
were expressions that titles should be
won in the Ting and not awarded by
any governing body.
When Thomas E. Donohue, Connecti-
cut commissioner, pointed out that
Taylor was to have been Rosenbenrgs
opponent in the championship fight
and that Rosenberg's failure to post
his forfeit prompted the Illinois ac-
ton, the convention approved without
dissension the bestowa1 of the cham
pionship upon Taylor.
The association also voted to seek
the repeal of the law prohibiting the
of boxing contests.
In an effort to find means of financ-
ing the work of the national associa-
tion the convention decided to charge
an annual fee of 81 for all boxers COM
ing within the jurisdiction of the II
states, Canada and Cuba, that com
prise the association. 1t was also de-
cided that hereafter all forfeit checks
posted must be certified.
