Till’] ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. Bringing Up Father • m 9 • • • • • • • • • _ • By George McManus By Ed W. Smith. C HICAGO, ILL,, J,uly 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 sport. That place is Butte, Mont. They are guarding the game there as care fully as it i9 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 Stat-e, 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 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 army test. * * * \ LL boxers are required to get on the scales the day before the contest, and if there is* any trouble over the scaling, B will come up then and not.the day of the battle or a few hours before. This does fcway 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 bevt rules formulated v - / by the commission is that re quiring a club to furnish new sets of gloves for everv 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 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-McGooriy contest was decided. Jack is the pro gressive young man who recently of fered a purse of $12,000 for a twelve- round content between Willie Ritchi • and Reach Cross. He expects to de-I clde some of the biggest battles in the country during the winter. Jack'.-' rival is the Copper City A. C\, with Jerry McCarthy at its head. This is the club that decided the Brown- 11 o ward encounter. - take Tlll'b TO MR TELL A HAT 01 =f MW - DON7 T!lt the Box ■ 150 Af here • v * 5 (nrcurnn? and Her Pals Copyright. 1913, International News Service. “A Last Look”---No Wonder Pa’s Nervous HE ms ALL RlCtfT. doctor, 'Jill AuUT MM6it Commenced “Tellik/' HIM FSer&st Ab^ljTecT - ] j M0THW6- The HATTek I wJh Vour.

(*.. 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 casv, 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. "1 shall take in China and Japan. I think the trip w ill be a great benefit to baseball. It will be a sight-seeing excursion for the party. The players will not be overworked. The number of games played will be comparatively few—no’ enough to Interfere with the 1914 campaign in any way.” Lillian's Husband to Tmn Beauty Doctor PITTSRRG.
