Boxing Gossip Signals Need for Regulating Group
The column argues for a boxing regulatory organization led by Jim Kennedy amid shifting weight classes and lack of uniform scales. It notes recent retirements and challenges in New England including Hill and 105-pound hopefuls, with Patty Brooks, Goodman, Cunningham, and Sullivan among those active. A Philadelphia court allows ten round bouts and other local bets are discouraged as unsportsmanlike.

Franchises Change Hands as Killilea Buys St Louis
In Chicago, M R Killilea and Fred C Gross gain control of the St. Louis American League club after Henry Killilea sells his majority stake. The league adjourns to meet March 6 in Detroit for the schedule meeting. President Johnson discusses Dineen’s blacklist status and potential signing by Boston. Trade talks between Mack and McAleer loom, with season set to begin April 23 and Patriots' Day opener in Boston on April 19. Comiskey confirms a new third baseman but names remain undisclosed. Heidrick and Wallace defend secrecy about Griffith and their contracts amid attempted repairs.
