Tit 19 A’I’LjAJN I A (fW)K(IIAN AN D NKWfS. BEST BOXING COMMISSION By Ed W. Smith. C HICAGO, ILL., July 21.—There's one safe and sane place on the fighting map where box ing will flourish for a long time, be cause It Is run by the best hands and conducted for the sport’s sake be cause they think it’s good nport. That place is Butte, Mont. They are guarding the game there as care fully as it Is possible to guard any sport, and the men who form the boxing commission in the State are a reputable and representative lot. And they are not following the lead of New York or any other State, nor are they going by any timeworn ind dogeared precedents. They art* handling the game on a fair and unbiased basis. Hence the game is flourishing there • • • J UST now the Montana commission is made up of John F. Davies, a Butte attorney; Dr. Cooney, of* Hel ena, and B. Markham, a Billings yport writer, with W. McGrath, a ourt clerk of Butte, acting as secre tary. This commission is in con stant ringside attendance at all of the contests and notes with great care all that transpires in even the minor bouts. The rules formulated by the commission are for the pro tection of the club as well as the boxer. Perhaps the strongest rule thev have calls for a physical ex aimnation of the boxers three days before the contest, and the test is one of the most severe that could be framed. Tommy Walsh, who had Knockout Brown boxing there July 4 with Jimmy Howard, says the ex amination is the mos»t thorough he ever saw, and predicts that many a man will fail in it during the com ing winter season there. It is mod eled on the lines of an army test. • * * A LL boxers are required to get on the scales the day before the contest, and if there is any trouble over the scaling, it will come up then and not the day of the battle or a lew hours before. This does away with a lot of eleventh-hour hitches. At least one member of the commis sion is present at the scales, and there is no possibility of any shady work. • • • (T Nffi of the be?»t rules formulated v - / by the commission is that re quiring a club to furnish new sets of gloves for every bout, of no mat ter what importance. The prelimi nary boys, as well as the wind-up stars, are thus protected fully, and viobody is asked to use old, dried-up gloves that cut like knives. The gloves must be of the best make, too, and are carefully inspected by the commission before they are given to the boxers. * * * J UST now there are two boxing clubs in Butte, which is the box ing center of the State. Jack Regan operates the big club of the city, the one at which the Clabby-McGoorty • '•ontest was decided. Jack is the pro grtssive young man who recently of fered a purse of $12,000 for a twelve- round contP. tr t between Willie Ritchi and Leach Cross. He expects to de cide some of the biggest battles in t’.e country during th*> winter. Jack’s rival is the Copper City A. C., with Jerry McCarthy at its head. This is the club that decided the Brown- Howard encounter. Bringing Up Father • • • • • • By George McManus OO^I - -lAKE Tl)|«b TCj MR J *,<,«> I ♦lOU^e -TELL MRV A HAT rOR JK.CS - DON!

I OS ANGELES, July 21.—Matty Baldwin, who is scheduled to box twenty rounds with the New York dentist, Leach Cross, on Tuesday night, July 29, went through an* impressive work-out at the St. Ignatius Club gym yesterday after noon. While Baldwin did not extend himself at any time in his work outs, his ease of style and compile mastery of the boxing game were ap parent. and Cross should have con siderable difficulty in holding him -'ff to the limit. Leach Cross traveled six rounds with Louis Reese and Johnny O’Leary, going three with each*, and in addi tion went through the full routine of gym work. Cross showed execi- lent form and appears to be in the best of condition. Bud Anderson was able to leave the hospital yesterday for the first time and is now convalescing at his Venice apartment. Bud will remain at Venice until fully able to travel. He expects to be able to enter the ring again within two or three months. Ad Wolgast and Johnny Dundee, who are to meet in the Vernon arena on Admission Day, were both Inter ested spectators at the Cross work out yesterday. Wolgast’s manager. Tom Jones, will be here in a few days, when the final arrangements for the bout will be completed. Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie is expected here to-morrow morning. It is understood that an agreement is under consideration whereby Ritchie is to box here on both Labor Day and on Thanksgiv ing. possibly taking on the winner of the < Toss-Bald win bout on the earlier date and Joe Rivers in November.

Cobb declares he has always liked Boston. ‘The fans there always seem so fair.’ he W'rites. and adds that he w’ould like a place in the Red Sox batting order. “Tyrus significantly says: ‘There are two other American League cities in which I would like to play.
