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.
