THE ATLANTA OEORCITAX AND NEWS. MONTANA HAS BEST BOXING 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 s»port. 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 and dogeared precedents. They are 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 sport writer, with W. McGrath, a court 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 amination of the boxers three days before the contest, and the test is one of the most 5»evere that could be framed. Tommy Walsh, who had Knockout Brown boxing there July 4 with Jimmy Howard, says the ex amination is the most 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 te?t. • * • \ LL boxers are required to get on the scales the day before the contest, and if there 1.9 any trouble over the scaling, it will come up then and not the day of the battle or a few 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. • • • rY NE of the best rules formulated ^ by the commission is that re quiring a club to furnish new sets of gloves for every bout, of nc mat ter what importance. The prelimi nary boys, .as well as the wind-up stars, are thus protected fully, and nobody 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 Clubby-McGoorty contest was decided. Jack is the pro gressive young man who recently of fered a purse of $12 000 for a twelve- round contest between Willie RltchD and Leach Cross. He expects to de cide some of the biggest battles in the country during the 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. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip __j The fight for second place in both leagues is waxing hot. The Senators are right on the trail of the Naps, while the Pirates In their rush upward are likely soon to overhaul the Phillies. * * * The Yankees are continuing their mad tight to get out of the cellar position, opening up a series in Detroit with a victory. * * * Southpaw “Eddie” Plank pitched in world’s series form yesterday and the Athletics shut out the Browns. * * * A fumble by Chapman in the ninth in ning paved the way for the Red Sox victory over the Naps. * * • Big Jeff Tesreau and Walter Johnson are the strike out kings in their re spective leagues. The Ozark bear has caused 111 batsmen to retire, humbled by his prowess, while “wonderful Wal ter has breezed 127 batsmen. * * * Whether the Pirates will have a look- in on the pennant will be demonstrated in the series with the Giants beginning to-morrow. Four games are scheduled and the Pirates must get better than an even break to cut down the thirteen game handicap separating them from the leaders. SUNDAY'S GAME. Atlanta. ab.
