A Case of Suicide
No, they didn't kill the fight game
With a single little law;
It was not the Legislature
! Sent the wallop to its Jaw.
Hut the fighters and promoters
In the hunger for the pelf
Made the good old game so rotten
I . That it went and killed itself.
HARL&If HARRY.
The Last of the lighters
! Looking over the champions of the contemporaneous Queensberry ring
and motley array of titleholders and near tltleholders there seems to be
I just one real fighter left—-little Johnny Kilbahe, the featherweight cham-
I pion. Johnny has gone out of his class twice to annoy the titleholders in
: other divisions. Once he made the weight to box Kid Williams, when the
latter held the bantamweight title, and later he gave Freddie Welsh, ostens
ibly the lightweight champion, a sound beating. In this latter venture Kil
bane emulated Terry McGovern, who went out of his class to fight Joe Gans
I and beat the great colored boxer.
Morally—if the matter of morality can be considered in prizefighting—
Johnny Kllbane should hold three titles. He beat Williams decisively for
the bantamweight championship and he beat Freddie Welsh to a frazzle
: for the lightweight championship. The only reason why he does not hold
I three titles legally is that no decisions 'were permitted when he fought the
other two titleholders.
I In beating Welsh, Kilbane did more than conquer the man who holds
the lightweight title. Welsh weighed 140 pounds or over that night. So
I Kilbane really beat a welterweight at the same time. If the featherweight
I champion would always fight at his best, as he did when he fought Welsh,
he would have many more friends in the East. But, great tighter though
he is, Kilbane often refuses to extend himself. And when he eleots to
| stall and to fake he is just as bad as any of the contemporaneous near
fighters.
The fight game will be given a tremendous boost when all of the title
holders and claimants to pugilistic titles march in a body to the recruiting
! office to enlist. Yes, when they do that little thing.
' Old-Time Lightweights Missing
Speaking of the lightweight division, what has become of the old-fash
ioned American lightweight who used to make 133 •pounds ringside?
Gans. Wolgast, Nelson and Young Corbett used to do it, and they did
i more fighting in one round than the present lightweight champion has
1 done in his entire career. The matter of poundage seems to be nothing
among lightweights these days. Night after night one hears the announcer
declare: "This is for the lightweight championship, Young Hoosis weigh
ing 139 pounds and Battling Mcßluff 142 pounds."
It is a sorrowful commentary on the class that once had all of the real
fighters when it is recalled that Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion,
aid not win the title at the real American weight, 133 pounds ringside, and
that he has never been able to defend it at that weight. As a matter of
fact, the lightweight champion, the man who wears the mantle of Mc
-1 Govern, Gans. Nelson and Wolgast, has been a welterweight all alqng and
1 ai rather indifferent welterweight at that. *
Some one who claims to know gives us the following statistics on the
contributions of the various sports to the army and navy:
Football players, 21,142.
Baseball players, 10,145.

BOXING MANAGERS PLAN
RETURN TO CLUB MATCHES;
REGISTER NEW MEMBERS
New York, May 26. The status
of professional boxing in New York
State after November 15 is causing
promoters of bouts and owners of
boxing clubs considerable worry
these days. When oGvernor Whit
ma nsigned the Slater will at Albany
recently it marked the beginning of
the end of the Frawley law which,
since July, 1911, permitted the hold
ing of ten-round glove contests in the
State of New York in legally licensed
clubs.
" The Slater bill, which will wipe
the Frawley law off the State stat
utes next November is expected to
leave the legal issue as to the holding
of glove lights in New York State
just where it stood prior to the pas
sage of the llorton law, twenty-one
years ago. Prior to 1896 fighting
and sparring were violaions of the
penal law in the State of New
and boxing exhibitions with or with
out gloves at which an admission fee
was charged or recei% - ed, either di
rectly or indirectly, were forbidden.
llorton I juv
In 1896 the statute prohibiting
sparring was amended, and allowed
athletic clubs to hold boxing and
sparring matches provided the club
owned the building or had a lease
for at least one year upon the build
ing. This was known as the Horton
law. On September 1, 1900, the Hor
ton law was repealed, and boxing
and sparring were forbidden in the
State of New York tip to July, 1911,
when the Frawley law provided that
the provisions of the penal code
should not apply to any sparring
match or exhibition conducted by a
club licensed by the State Athletic
commission.
During the four years in which
the Horton law was in effect many
notable ring battles were fought in
the Empire State and several cham
pionships in different classes changed
hands. From 1900 to 1911 no con
tests of promience were decided in
New York but many bouts were held
under the "Club membership" plan
by which the promoters claimed im
munity from any Infraction of the
law on the ground that no admission
fee was charged.
Clubs Show Activity
The repeal of the Frawley meas
ure by the Slater bill, which will go
into effect next November, lias been
anticipated by many club owners
and promoters throughout New York
State. Several of them are engaged
in polishing up their charters, which
have lain on dusty shelves for nearly
six years and arc registering new
lists of members, with the idea of re
ceiving the membership plan.
Taking into consideration that al
most a ful year will have elapsed
before the Slater bill becomes oper
ative and that many important ring
conetsts are to be decided here in
the meantime it is fairly safe o pre
dict that the sixth and final year's
boxing under the Frawley regime
will be productive of a tax which will
bring the total amount of income to
the State from this source up to one
third of a million dollars.

by All Around Good Work;
Local Stars
Stars fell right and left at Island
Parle yesterday. The Islanders were
doing the shooting. Syracuse, last
season's New York State League
champs, were the victims. The score
was 6 to 3. It was a real baseball
story, full of thrills, and Just the
kind that put shekels into Manager
Cocklll's pockets if continued.
Everybody under the direction of
Captain Doc Cook figured in the vic
tory. There were two boys who stood
out more prominently than all the
rest. Clark, a former Altoona star,
filled the first sack. lie moved like
an old veteran, but that was not all.
He broke Into the game as a sticker
and slammed out a triple and a dou
ble. His bingles brought the runs
that were big factors In the down
fall of Mike O'Neill. Miller was also
in his old-time hitting form and a
big help.
Keefe Slionx In 11 *
The other feilbw was Young Keefe.
He is a Connie Mack protege and it
was just warm enough to put him
into form for good work. He hand
ed up puzzlers in every inning. Some
foolish plays back of him and for
getfulness on Ills part in putting
straight balls over the plate when the
batter had two strikes and no balls
against him figured in at least two
01 the runs. Syracuse hits were not
all clean.
Syracuse scored two in the first on
a lilt and
with passes brought another. Har
risburg scored one on hits by Clark
I and Miller. In the fifth Friel started
|to pitch for Syracuse, following a
! slaughter by the Ilarrisburg lads.
| Downey walked. Cook sacrificed him
'to second. Harrison singled to third
: base. Holmes was passed, filling the
bases. Boley hit to short and Kon
nick dropped ICeating's throw, ad
mitting Downey. Clark hit for two
bases, scoring Harrison and Holmes.
Clark scored on Miller's single. Keefe
singled to right and Burke hit to
Friel, forcing Miller out at third.
Downey hit to second, forcing Burke.

graduate manager of athletics of

ties are of the opinion that the com

the sport in any way. although If

have to be watched closely to pre

tic ability from goiig from college

Major Pickering's Opinion
Major Pickering is of the opinion
that unless sports are resutn-.'d by
the colleges, it will tend to show that
the colleges devoted attention to uth
j letlcs only when good teams of
[•championship caliber can be devel
oped and that sports are not only a
secondary consideration, but tend to
do no good for the undergraduates.
But such a tendency docs not show
that the sporting activities are not
good for the undergraduates, for
such men as Major General Wood,
President Wilson and others In au
thority have expressed their opinion
that the colleges continue their
sports and in this manner kecu the
men who are not eligible for serv
ice in pood physical condition until
they are ready for duty, thus mak
ing them better and capable for
active service in the Held or on the

Old Sol promised to do his bit to
day to make the eleventh annual
high school meet a big success. He
took up his duties in warming up
the atmosphere early fo-day. With
good weather and a perfect track, lo
cal officials were of the opinion that
new records would come.
Each year the entry list for the
annual state high school track and
field meet includes new schools. The
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athle
tic Association has been doing great
work and "it will not be many years
until all schools in the state will be
a part of this important organiza
tion.
Manager George Cock ill is work- I

of interest has given him a small j
foundation to work oil. He promises I
to produce the goods if the proper j
patronage is forthcoming. Up to
date there has been a conspicuous J
absence of many or 1 larrisburg's for- |

reputation as a good baseball town. 1

Jim Jeffries Is Willing
to Forget AH About Ring;
Sticks Close to Ranch
Los Angeles, Cal., May 26. The
RreenMt of cub reporters might re
mind James J. Jeffries that he was
once champion heavyweight boxer of
the world. But it is doubtful if such
a reminder would enhance a visitor's
popularity around the Jeffries ranch.
Jeff wants to forget that he ever
Was a ring star.
Because Jim Jeffries was champion
tighter of the world is the only rea
son, however, that the general public
will be interested in details of his liv
ing methods and daily activities. Re
ference to boxing has nothing in com
mon with Jeff's interests in his big
silos, nor his playful hour with a
bunch of Holstein calves.
"How often do you go to town,
Jim'.'" was a question asked of the
Hurbank farmer, whose 105 acres lie
close to the long mountain range
which hedges the San Fernando Val
ley. ou£ from Los Angeles.
"Not any more than I have to," was
the reply. "I hope I'm through with
city life, and unless I have some busi
ness there, I stick close to the ranch."
There is a phase of the Jeffries
composition .Which will surprise those
who know of him only as a profes
sional pugilist. Jeffries Is well read
on many subjects, almost overbearing
in the strength of his convictions and
petulant of interruption when
launched on his interpretation of
"business before the house."
The artistic stamp is strong in the
Jeffries nature, as may be gleaned
from the beautiful residence which
he has just completed, the plans for
which he prepared personally. The
result of his architectural insight is
one of the finest homes in Southern
California, one which cost over $20,-
000.

Other woods are dur- |

llarrisburg is again feeling the
effects of a poor baseball schedule.
Games are scheduled with Heading
for to-morrow and Monday. Jlarris
burg cannot play Sunday baseball,
and it would be too expensive for
the team to go to Pottsville or any
other point to play a Sunday game.
Heading will play Monday after
noon. Harrisburg will go to Head
ing for games on Tuesday and Wed
nesday. The team is not home long
enough to got a good chance to
practice during the morning hours.
Eleven members of the Phillies
baseball team went to City Hall last
night and registered for the selec
tive draft, as the club will be in
Chicago on June 5. Led by "Chap
pie" Marks, a detective, the players
went to the board of registration
office in room 030 and filled out the
registration blanks. The players
were Alexander, Mayer, Fittery, Kil
lefer, Burns, Dugey, Bancroft, Coop
er, McGafflgan, Adams and Whitted.
Nearly all live outside of Philadel
phia, and several are married. Three
other Phils will register to-day. They
are ltixey, Stock and Oeschger.
