NOW

BOXING IS DOOMED

Crooks, pickpockets, barflies and denizens of the underworld last night gave the rejuvenated game of pugilism in Hammond the knockout punch from which it is never to "come back." Thatxwas the decision of Mayor Smalley, the board of police commissioners and Chief Austgen, who sat as referees at a special session yesterday afetrnoon and counted ten over the game which can be clean but never is. Congratulations reached the officials as soon as the news became generally known, for their prompt action in saving Hammond from being the stamping ground for the element that has never earned an honest dollar. "At a meeting on Friday," said Chief Austgen to The Times, "it was decided that in the future there shall be no more prizefighting or boxing of any kind. That is final and from this there can be no appeal, and all applications in the future will be vain." The action of the officials is not surprising. In fact, a further countenance of conditions created by the Chicago underworld in Hammond Thursday night would have been the real cause for surprise. The congratulations are due to the fact that the officials acted promptly. The fight game in Hammond has been short lived. The lid was raised with the best of feeling toward the fans who like to see a clean boxing exhibition, but the leeches that follow the sport have sucked its life blood in Hammond. The onus is not so much on the game itself as on the results.

A three year old boy, the son of Mrs. Susie Schaffer, a teacher In the Irving school, of Hammond. was brought home last night from the Pasteur In

stitute In Chicago to die the terrible doath resulting from hydrophobia. Two weeks ago yesterday the child playing in the street was bitten by a mad dog which was subsequently killed, as there was no question about the animal being mad. The victim was Immediately taken to the famous Pasteur Institute In Chicago whose percentages of failures are only a fraction of a per cent. Yesterday Dr. LaGarlo the head of the Institute noticed symptoms of the deadly virus which spelled the child's death. He had to Inform the mother that there was no hope under the sun for her child. An attempt to

describe the heartbroken mother's anguish at hearing the death sentence

of her little boy would be hollow mockery- There remained nothing for the kind nurses to do but to prepare the child for its trip heme where its condition will grow worse form day to day until within probably less than five days It must die. The mother who must live through It all because of the terrible anticipation, suffering even more than the child for its pains can be eased somewhat by the administration of drugs, has the deepest sym- , pathy of the entire community.
