kAn conducted in Milwaukee under ! state auspices. there can be little objection to the modernized form of pugilism. The bouts held in the Auditorium there are conducted with as much order and dignity as a grand opera performance In Chicago. Women attend them. Tim strictest order is preserved, smoking is not permitted in the building, seats are numbered and there are miflteient ushers to see that every person gets the seat to which his ticket entitles him.Brutal tactics arc not allowed In thering. If a man is so badly outclassed as to be helpless before an opponent the bout is stopped as soon as the condition becomes apparent. There is ample police pro* sion to guarantee good order, betting is strictly suppressed In the building, and. taken all in all, it would be difficult to discover any serious objection to the sport. Wisconsin has given legalized boxing a thorough test and is satisfied that it is not objectionable. There doesn’t seem the slightest chance for adverselegislation.New Orleans and Milwaukee are now the western tight centers. California will lns»* Its monopoly of championship bouts unless the courts agree with the pleas of promoters on the coast and reinstate conditions which prevailedbefore election. Wisconsin does not permit more than 10 rounds to be fought, which eliminates a great deal of the championship feature of itsmatches and places them on a cleanboxing basis.Chicago admirers of fistic sport have high hopes that Illinois may have a boxing law similar to the Hedding law of Wisconsin. A number of the newly elected legislators as well as many of the holdovers are on record as favoring such a law. There have been opportunities in the past for such legislation, but the hoggishness of promoters has ruined these chances. If the money grabbers could be suppressed, but rows over the shekels have always ruined boxing in this state.—Chicago Journal.Jimmy Clabby, since his recent victory over George Chip, has been taking on the airs of a champion, and while he says he is willing to meet Mike Gibbons at Hudson, he is showing a disposition to hold out for the lion's share of the receipts.In this connection Mike Gibbons writes from Now' York that he wantsit distinctly understood that he regards himself as the chief drawing card in the event of a mix between himself and Clabby being arranged for any place except the Pacific coast, where the fans believe Jimmy is invincible. Mike says he wou’d rather meet Clabby than any other middle weight in the business, but in doing so he doesn’t propose to overlook the business end of the match. Whether he meets Clabby at Hudson or in New York, Mike says he cannot consent to taking less than Clabby is to receive, and, as regards Hudson, at least, he thinks he is making a concession when he doesn’t hold out for more than the Hammond boxer will get.An idea of how highly Mike is regarded in New York may be gained from \vi at Robert Edgren, the New York World boxing expert, said of Mike after he had stopped Mike Donovan in less than seven rounds. Here is what Edgren writes: “Clabby isfast and clever, Oh!p can hit. McCoy is lucky, McOoorty is a wonder, but over weight, but Gibbons combines allthe best qualities of the rest and adds a few that are peculiarly his own. Gibbons is the only middle weight in sight now who could follow Stanley Ketchers example and tight heavy weights. While not the furiously aggros ve fighter that Ketchel was by any means, he might have as good a chance as Ketchel because of markable skill.“He is the only real middle we've seen lately who knows from a marshmallow Without a doubt he is the king of his c’ass n shortbouts. VT ether he can fight 20 rounds as well remains to be seen when he tries to convince western middleweights like Clabby and Chip that he’s a real champion. The only thing that we don’t know about In M.ke’s case is his courage.'’—St. Paul Dls-patch.• • •No definite understanding has been nrrived at yet on the proposal made by President James of the University of Illinois for a great intersect tonal footballgame, the proceeds to go to the relief of the Belgians through the Red Cross society.The Yale authorities have agreed to turn over the huge Yale howl for the game, but Chairman Phelps of the com tnitP e in charge of Old Eli’s affairs h*is suggested wisely that it would be !etter to stage the battle at some other plac*. unless the blue is one of the contenders. He points out that a game with alien teams opposed to each other would he likely to have great r drawing power in Chicago or New York than In New Haven, with its United population.If Harvard is the eastern contender, thr crimson stadium is the logical place for the game, tt would have not only the support of the Harvard students, but the added advantage of a city *he size of Boston to draw from. The big Harvard field has a greater seating capacity than any place that could be secured in New York or Chicago, being second only to the Yale bowl in the entire country.—St. Paul Dispatch. • • •It is rather out of the ordinary, but Jimmy Clabby prefers the 20-round boxing game to the 10-round, no-de-cislon contests. Usually it is Just the reverse. Under ordinary circumstances, an eastern boxer will do just as little long-distance fighting as may be necessary to retain his ranking in the community.Having secured that standing, he will betake himself to the shorter, easier game.Not so with Clabby.

I realize that I would never have come to the championship under such conditions, and 1 don't want to shirk the responsibility, now' that I have arrived. Of course, there is more chance of losing the title in 20 rounds and w'ith a decision, but I. for one, am willing to take such a chance,Clabby Is entitled to credit for his stand, although the places in which he can sign up for a distance are narrowing clown.As matters stand, Clabby could not be blamed for laying out a long eastern campaign of the dangerless sort. He is deserving of the ‘spoils of office, but he has shown the right spirit by being perfect y willing to take on bouts In which there is the chance Involved of his losing out.—Ban Francisco Chronicle.Connie Mack is undergoing what astronomers, in describing an eclipse refer to as a period of obscuration. Philadelphia and Philadelphia fans are said to be as sore at McGIUicuddy as a householder at an excess water bill. It is all over the plan of the man McGillt-cuddy to slough Bender, Plank and Coombs.When it comes down to the business side of baseball there is about as much of sentiment in the transact on as there is love for the sublimated clam on the part of an oyster opener in the fish market. Here and there have been remote cases of real sentiment existing between players and magnates, but they are as rare as peach trees In bloom in Winnipeg on Jan. to.Ordinarily the ball player is out to get his from the magnate, and the magnate is looking out for Primus at the expense of Secundus, whenever the chance presents itself. They gyp each other right merrily and all’s well, as Pippa warbled on her career-influencing stroll, as told by Kid Browning.Just now' Philadelphia is all fretted over the sorrowful spectacle of threemen—all chaps who have shared in several world series cut-ups and presumably drawers of high salar’es—slipping out of the old berths. Mr. McGillt-cuddy is being panned and cussed and otherwise verbally assaulted.But, Sapo la, just wait until about next June, when McGPUcuddy uncorks a couple of new pitchers with the speed of a 42-centimetor gun and a curve like the bowl end of a Grecian stadium and the tune will change. It will be back to the old tin-panning—the old hero worshiping. Connie will be the master magician and the wonder-worker—the little tin Joss and the big hole in the Swiss cheese of baseball. It always works that way. The law' seems immutable.—Minneapolis Journal.If such a one-s ded undertaking asthe consolidation of the playing strength of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Chifeds can be put through they might as well award the 1915 National league pennant to the Cubs. The Cubs would obtain among others such good men as Claude Hendrix, Catcher Arthur Wilson, Second Baseman Johnny Farrell and Outfielder Z willing. These men, not count ng Tinker, would be enough to almos: bring the Cubs back to their old for-midab e strength. A pitching staff with a pair of spitball experts like Hendrix and Cheney would not want for much more. Catcher Wilson to re nforce Jimmy Archer would give the Cubs a wonderful catching department.— Pittsburg Gazette-Times.Friends of Plank insist that he has not signed with the Federal league They declare that Ed and Connie Mack were on bad terms most of last year and that the great southpaw not fled Mack he would retire from baseball unless Connie produced a most adur-inlt;r salary. Mack’s salary \o\\ it is sfeid already has reached the limit and he was forced to refuse. The story goer that Mack asked waivers with the intention of giving Plank his unconditional release in case no other manager desires his services. If Plank plays baseball next season t is believed that he will appear in a New York uniform.—New York Sun.
