The law in the state relative
to boxing holds that the COM
must make the decisions
and cannot be a subordinate to
anybody.
Farther Apart Than Ever
When the NBA gave it's bless
ingS to the return middleweight
championship flight between
Zale and Graziano, the six-round
knockout Graziano scored over
the champion in Chicago left the
MIA and New York farther apart
tEan ever.
New York had revoked Grazi-
amos license last January for.
'the bad boys" failure to re-
port two alleged bribe offers to
throw fights in New York.
Who Is Graziano?
Graziano won the worlds mid
dleweight championship all
right when he stopped Zale but
to the New York Athletic Com
mission such fighter as Grazi-
ano theoretically didn't exist
since Rocky not only was barred
here but held no license to
fight. New York, of course, hop
ed other states might abide by
its ruling.
Those close to boxing feel that
the three-man New York Com
mission will grant license to
Graziano for 1948. They point
out that the rugged two-fisted
Ipuncher from the sidewalks of
New York's East Side has been
taught lesson" and that third
Zale- -Graziano bout will be held
with the winner to be recognized
Ias champion by New York as
we'll as the MIA.
Chairman Eagan, however,
says the decisions are made by
the three-man commission which
includes DIR. William B. Powell,
New York Negro publisher, and
Leon F. Swears, Johnson City
Republican.
Long Boxing Background
Eagan was appointed to his
81 800 year post almost three
years ago by Governor Thomas
IE. Dewey. Eagan's boxing back
|ground dates back to World War
i when he captured the AEF
|middleweight championship in
the Inter-Allied games at Paris.
The 48-year-old lawyer is 1921
Yale graduate, an Oxford schol-
ar and a Harvard Law School
graduate.
The nations fight fans spent
$14, 100000 in 1916 and half of
this total was realized in 16 New
York cities for boxing contests
and wrestling exhibitions. The
state received $390,140 in taxes
for these two sports, both of
which are under the supervision
of the State Athletic Commits
sion. To maintain the commits
sion costs the state about $4,000
"a year. Thus, boxing and wrest-
ling are very profitable in this
state.
Physicians Make x-RaYs
In 1916 New York held 892
boxing and wrestling shows. Be
cause the two sports are so pop
ular here they are under strict
rules, one of which requires prin-
cipals in a main boxing bout to
go through two physical check
ups the last week of training.

came the traffic. There soon sprang
up Zine teams" freight haulers
from the west, running the entire
distance from Wheeling, where they
contacted vessels on the Ohio River,
to Baltimore. These were described
as great wagons with hind wheels
ten feet high, drawn by six horses,
making almost as fast time as the
stages or a modern freight train. It
was reported that some of these
wagons hauled as much as ten tons.
Passenger travel advanced through
several stages, or types of coaches.
The first coaches were clumsy af-
fairs, carrying sixteen passengers,
and built by Russell in Cumberland. "
Then came improvements, the Tren-
ton coach, the Fry coach and the
Concord coach.
The road was soon doing a ire
mendous business, far more than any
other road in the country. An early
describer said: Coaches dashed
through at the rate of twelve miles
an hour, and wagons followed each
other so closely that it was said with
some pardonable exaggeration that
the heads of one team were in the
rear of the wagon before it."
The hey-day of the old National
Pike were romantic times for our
county. Important men of the Ma
tional government went through so
often that their faces were common

rison, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay,

All along the road, every few
miles, sprang up the old time tavern.
Lodging and meals were needed and
well supplied. Taverns became ia
nous for their venison, bear-steaks,
hot bread, ham and eggs and whisky.
For a time, travellers in the
coaches entertained themselves by a
peculiar amusement. AS the coach
dashed along, they would hold
letter out the window, offering it to
the country people who happened
to be along the road to see the coach
go through. 1t was great sport to
see them run in vain after the coach.
But one of Washington County's
citizens resented being the butt of
such joke, so he pursued the coach,
overlook it, and pulled out the one
who had been so amused at his ex-
pense, and gave him an old fashioned
Washington County thrashing The
man who administered the thrash

After a while the bishop found
that the man did not belong to any
church, and when pressed for an
explanation the local character re
piled:
well, it's like this: One Sunday
I was in town and 1 went to church.
It happened to be the Episcopal
church. And in reading his prayers
the preacher said: We have done
