NEW YORK. Nov. 30.—After six
years of boxing under legal control
the game of gloved fisticuffs has
again been abandoned throughout
New York state. The last bouts un
der the provisions of the Frawley law
were held November 14th and such
contests as may be held in the future
will probably be staged under the so
called “club membership plan." An
idea of the popularity of boxing, even
under the restrictions imposed by the
law just repealed, may be gained from
the fact that the gate feceipts during
the six years of the ring game
amounted to about $5,000,000 and the
state’s share was close to $300,000.
The official returns for 1917 are
not available at this time but the
commission reports for the years be
tween 1911 and 1916 show that $4,502,
280 was paid in at the gates of the
various boxing clubs located through
out the state and that the revenue
derived under the legislature tax
amounted to $262,263. The estimated
receipts for the present year are plac
ed at close to $500,000 and the tax
returns at Vbout $40,000.
During the period of boxing under
the Frawley law two titles changed
hands as the result of knockouts
scored in the rings of New York City.
A1 McCoy wrested the middleweight
title away from George Chip in April, t
1914 by knocking out the champion t
in one. round. McCoy in turn lost his f
title in a sensational bout with Mike 1
O’Dowd in the last big bout under the
Frawley law, when he was knocked f
out by the St. Paul boxer in the sixth »
round of their bout held Nov. 14, 191’. 1
The other championship on and lost i
was the lightweight title which pass- (
ed from Freddie Welsh to Benny 1
Leonard earlier in the present year I
when the latter scored a clean knock- 1
out of the Welshman in their third <
meeting in this city.
Other bouts of particular interest
were the Willard-Mortan and the Me- '•
Farland-Gibbons matches which set a
record in recent year gate receipts. 1
$
Probably the most exciting boxing
event under the recently defunct law
was the K. O. Brown-Matt Wells bat
tle. This wTas the first big contest
held under the Frawley rules and an
parently *every follower of boxing t.-r
miles about New York was eager to
crowd his way into Madison Square
Garden for the initial clash. The re
sult was a near-Fiot, calls for police
reserves and legalized boxing began
under discouraging auspices. For all
round excitement and execution the
Bombardier Wells-Al Palzer battle at j
the • Garden w-as probably the most \
I
sensational one staged during the en- |
tire six years of boxing.
Eastern football followers are hop
ing that the present unusual war con
ditions may result in a game for the
benefit of the American Red Gross
fund which will rsnlize the ambition
of many seasons for a intersectional
championship gridiron battle. Three
sections of the states this year have
college elevens which stand out above j
heir rivals at this writing a oil a con
est between any two of the trio would
rouse great interest if played at a
arge city in any one of the sections.
Notwithstanding the restrictions
nd handicaps which have surround
ed the development of college fott
iall teams this season, the south has
iroduced a remarkable eleven in the
5eorgia institute of Technology com
dnation. The East has two in the
Jniversity of Pittsburg and the U. S.
Javal academy teams while the mid
lie west is ably represented by the
Jniversity of Michigan and one or
nore of the conference college
'quads. For various reasons both
Michigan and the Navy teams appear
o he eliminated from post-season Red
'ross contests but football enthusi
ists are hoping that the efforts to
>ring about a match between Georgia
renh. . d Pittsburgh may meet with
me. ss. r-ich a game should redound
to the benefit of the fund and the I
sport
—-O—
The necessity for a central plan!
that will supply power the yp.ar round
is being felt in the Willow Creek dis
trict. Conditions are ideal for the
development of hydro-electric power,
and during the past season conditions
have been investigated by an engin
eer representing Colorado investors,
who, it is said, are considering the ■>
proposition.

George Anderson, who during the
past season has been exploiting the
Litle Gem mine in the Willow Creek
district, reports the adit in 85 feet.,
with six inches of spe men ore. He
is displaying a . >ld : uttr i worth $17
