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 sport.
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 baeis. 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 severe 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 armv test.
* « •
A LL boxers are required to gret
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
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.
...
NE of the beet rules formulated
' 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
nobody is asked to use old, dried-up
gloves that cut like knivee. 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
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 Ritchi'
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.

likely soon to overhaul the Phillies.

Whether the Pirates will have a look-

SUNDAY’S GAME.
By H. M. Walker.
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 complete
mastery of the boxing game were ap
parent. and Cross should have con
siderable difficulty in holding him off
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 excel
lent form and appears to be in the
best of condition.

Teams Sail November 19.
The team? will sail from Vancouver.
B. C.. on November 19, making the
trip to the coast on a special train.
Several exhibitions will be played en
route.
"The trip will be made," said Ban
Johnson yesterday, "whether or not
either or both teams win a pennant
or a world’s series. Special dispensa-
sation, covering such an emergency,
has been granted by the National
Commission. In no caw, however,
would a team be advertised as a
world’s champion. I think the tour
ists will be largely composed of
American and National League stars.
Perhaps no more than half a dozen
athletes of each club will be on hand
for the long journey.
Johnson Praises Trip.
“I am going part of the way." con
cluded Mr. Johnson. "I shall take in
China and Japan. T think the trip
will be a great benefit to baseball. It
will be a ?ight-seeing excursion for
the party. The players will not be
overworked. The number of games
played will be comparatively few—not
enough to interfere with the 1914
campaign in any way.”
