vas decided upon by the new Cali
fornia boxing commission at it!
meeting here yesterday.
The new commissioners. DR.. Har.
ry Martin, Robert Edgren and Rev
Leslie Kelly, waded right into the
midst of the boxing trouble anc
proceeded to lay down the law il
no uncertain terms to bad actors
Of the ring.
Among the announcements of
the new commission were the fol
lowing:
l. There will be no chief in
pector, or so-called czar. Each dis
trict will function under its own
chief inspector, as in the past.
?. All clubs will be held account
able for the presence of suspend
&c managers, boxers or handlers
who appear at their shows They
must refuse TO permit the suspend
ed. ones to enter. or face disciplin-
ing by the commission.
3. There will be no "non-decis-
ion' bouts. even over the 12-route
route, although the state law pro-
vides for them, and no champion
can box in this state without de-
Tending his title if he is meeting a
man in his class.
4. No boxer will be permitted to
turn any part of his ring earnings
ever to a manager under suspen-
sion.
5. II a bout ends by a foul, the
two participants must meet again
the next week at the same club as
an added attraction, and they will
not be given their money unless
they give satisfactory perform
ance. Another foul and the fight
er is ruled out for a year
Ticket-holders can retain their
stubs and be given preference on
seats for the rematch.
6. Adoption OF the new pneuma-
tic protector as a preventative of
fcul injuries was advocated.
7. Ace Hudkins. the Nebraska
wildcat who has been pretty
much of a tabby cat in recent
months, applied for reinstatement,
and was assured that his six-month
suspension probably would be lifted
next month. Ace was nearly in
tears as he left the room.
AS a boost for craftsmanship,
The commission notified boxers that
anyone guilty of slugging another
over the ropes when he was help
less, or who delivered a blow while
the others back was turned, would
be guilty of fouling.
The commissioners also trained
their sights on unlicensed boxing
clubs and "chiseling' managers,
and promised further action here.

Why Go to Florida?
We Haze the Climate.

Sunday was about as warm as sum,
mer. Weather bureaus state that it
was the warmest November day in the
history of the north country, especially
st. Louis County. The temperature at
about noon on Sunday registered be-
tween IS and 10. Sundays temperature
was bout 81 degrees above normal and
was the warmest November day since
1903 when the third of the month
showed 70 degrees.
The streets were practically deserted
on Sunday, the larger part of the popu-
lation had taken their cars and gone
somewhere. A large crowd were at the
golf course and enjoyed a few rounds
OF this fascinating sport. Others had
secured licenses and had gone white
fish netting in the lakes open to this
sport. Many are supplying themselves
with fish food for the winter by sailing
and smoking the catch. The fish are
large, fat and fine eating.
The golf course has been supplied
with temporary holes for late play. The
permanent green's have been prepared
for winter. All the green's have been
treated for chick weed eradication.
This treatment is not conducive to the
health of cattle who might break in
and feed off the greens and a warning
is herewith given to those who have
been in the habit of breaking down the
fences to let their cattle into the
grounds of the Shagawa Country Club,
to stop it. The club cannot be held
responsible for the death of cattle.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAIMED
President Hoover Proclaims
November 26 as Thanks
giving Day.

Thanksgiving day has been proclaimed
by President Hoover as Thursday,
November g. It is customary for a
president to proclaim the. day and ne
has named it as a day of national
thanksgiving for the advantages en-
joyed despite a measure of passing
adversely" He says:
''We approach the season when, ac-
cording to custom dating from the gar
nering of the first harvest by our
forefathers in the new world, a day set
apart to give thanks, even amid hard
ships, to almighty God for our tenn
poral and spiritual blessings. It has
become a hallowed tradition for the
chief magistrate to proclaim annually
a national day of Thanksgiving.
"Our country has cause for gratitude
to the Almighty. We have been widely
blessed with abundant harvests. We
have been spared from pestilence and
calamities. Our institutions have served
the people knowledge has multiplied
and our lives are enriched with its
application. Education has advanced.
The health of our people has increased.
We have dewelt in peace with all
men. The measure of passing adVer-
sity which has come upon us should
deepen the spiritual life of the people,
quicken their sympathies and spirit of
sacrifice for others, and strengthen their
courage
Many of our neighbors are in need
from causes beyond their control and
the compassion of the people through
out the nation should so assure their
security over this winter that they too
may have full cause to participate in
this day of gratitude to the Almighty.
'Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thursday,
Nov 26, 1881, as a national day OF
and do recommend that
our people rest from their daily labors
and in their homes and accustomed
places of worship give devout thanks
for the blessings which a merciful
Father has bestowed upon u.s.
