US The reformer asserted, however. It
wa3 yet to be shown that boxing contests could be given for money-making purposes without destroying the wholesome features attributed to ordinary boxing without increasing a spirit of rowdyism and brutalism among . men and boys who witness the exhibitions. That the prize fight fever, kindled by the Frawley law, is sweeping New York City like a prairie fire is shown by an announcement from the state athletic commission that licenses have been granted to seven new clubs organized to hold prize fights in various parts of Greater New York.

rounds.
After White Packey took on Chuck
JLArson, a tough lightweight with a
Battling Nelson style. He danced around Larson and cuffed him in good shape.
Danny Goodman was Packey's third
and last foe. They went two wild and
woolly rounds, Danny plugging as best
he could every second of the time.
