PURITANIC WAVE OF
REFORM THAT SWEEPING
ACROSS UNITED STATES
Is Soon to Doom Pugilism in
Old California
New York.—The Puritanic wave of
reform that has hen slowly but surely
sweeping: across this great, free and
independent country of ours has at last
washed the sand covered shores of
good old California. Boxing within
her boundaries is doomed.
The only state where the boxing
game has been left unmolested with
the exception of Nevada, is today
stirred up to a high pitch of agitation
over the fact that reformers have tak
en possession of the capitol at Sacra
mento, and declare that the year 1914
will see the last days of the twenty
rounds bout.
The dayß of the finish fights that
have made the state famous, are num
bered. Before the new year the last
championship battle will have been
fought
First Wreck.
The first wreck that these crusa
ders have left in their wake are the
resorts of the old Barbary Coast. Not
satisfied with theirwork in putting an
end to these resorts of amusements
they have trained their guns on the
fight clubs of San Francisco, Los An
geles, Oakland, Vernon, Stockton, Sac
ramento, and the famous old Point
Richmond Arena and before they have
completed their so-called reformation
they will have disabled the sporting
game in California to such an extent
that to re-establish it on its same
basis will be practically out of the
question.
Aside from the thousands of dollars
Invested in fight arenas *'-• t will be
lost, the crowds that have ked in
to the big cities of the coil: i. seeking
amusement will turn their attention in
other directions. The people of Cali
fornia will be the losers by long odds.
No state in the union has contrib
uted so plentifully to the fighting
world as California.
A Native Son.
Jim Corbett was a native son, Jim
Jeffries made his reputation on the
coast. Stanley Ketchel, the late un
defeated middle weight champion,
acquired both fame and title on her
soil. Battling Nelson was first intro
duced to the public and also won his
championship in this state.
Jimmy Britt, a native son. beat
Young Corbett in California. Johnny
Kilbane beat the popular Abe Atterr,
a native son, in Los Angeles. Willie
Hitchie, a Californian, conquered "Ad”
Wolgast after "Ad” h ad won the title
from Nelson at Point Richmond.
Frankie Neil beat Forbes, while Young
Corbett proved the victor over Terry
McGovern, in their famous second en
counter, in California.
A Negro.
Peter Jackson, whom John L. Sulli
van refused to meet, because he was
a negro, gained considerable reputa
tion on the coast. Jack Dempsey,
than whom there was no remarkable
fighter, waged many of his battles
there Jack McAullffe, as well as
grand old George Dixon, both ex
hibited their hitting qualities to the
fans of their section. "Bob” Fitzsim
mons started his career under a west
ern sun. Joe Choynskl was a native
horn, while Tom Sharkey gained his
out there Joe Thomas, Tommy Burns,
first prominence In the fistic world
and n hundred other champs are num
bered among the men that got their
mst boost from California.
