rJEWBDXING BILL

S INTRODUCED

Fight Decisions.

At Nw York rranU Callahan t)eat Eddie Smith (10). At Tonngitown Battling XeTlnsky beat Boh Moha (12). SPniXGFIEL.r. II.U. Jan. IS. The lllinosi boxing: bill was introduced in the house yesterday by Representative Jacob W. Epstein of Chicago and was referred to the committee on license nnd miscellany, of which Representative Ernil Festerling- of Rockford is to be the chairman. There is a well defined feelnig that there is Letter than an even chance that the bill, possibly amended in some features, will be passed by the house. Its fate in the senate is much more doubtful. The committee of the senate that wi!l tonsider it, the committee on license, is headed by Senator Wood of Jefferson county. He, as a representative two years ago, fought the boxing bill on the floor of the house. Kot Ilk Bill Beaten la 1915. The bill, as introduced, is considerably different from that which went todefeat in 1915. Safeguards and protective provisions have been inserted, it is claimed, that will obviate to grreat iegree objections that were raised in she battle of two years ago. The Epstein bill provides for the creation of a utate athletic commission o three members, at salaries of $3,G0) t-aeh. with a secretary at 52,400. Licenses may be issued by the commission to duly incorporated clubs for the purpose of staging "athletic boxing, and sparring matches." Xo license shall be issued to a club unless it shall have wned or held a lease on a building or "hed in which it is proposed to have an exhibition for six months consecutively prior to the date of the license. A permanently established club having a club house may use a lieatre or hall for an exhibition, but an outdoor exhibition is prohibited. Scale of Licenses. The license fee is $25 for a club in a city or village of less than 5,0'M), $."0 for cities of less than 50.000. $100 for cities of less than 100.000. and .$200 for cities of $200,000 or more.

champion flyweight pugilist, who recently knocked out Zulu Kid. the Amer

ican aspirant for the title, was excused from military service yesterday.

family by mining coal.

As this occupation is one of those

under governmental control, and its

members are granted exemption from

military service, since tney are vir-1 tually aiding in defense of the nation

through mining cpal for army and navy

use. Wilde's appeal was granted.

ACT TO Kilt 001

COMES UP IN MINN.

ST. PAUL, Jan. IS. The first dfmi! ; step in th" movement to repeal the j Minnesota boxing law enacted by ttie I 1915 session was taken yesterday when! Senator Ole A. Sageng presented a bill j

to the state senate which would repeal the present law. The bill was presented w ithout comment, together with a number of other measures, and was referred to the committee on general legislation. gome members of the house, aS well as a number of senators, have taken the iew that instead of prov iding a clean lit sporting game enactment of the law has been commercialized to such n extent that the real sporting spirit is conspicuous by its absence. , Senator Ole A. Jcnde is one of the members of the upper branch of the legislature who has taken this view.

"I will say that it is my intention to I vote for repeal of the bill:" he said yewterday. "Foxing lias become comirxT- I cialized and in view ,,f this situation 1 1 believe that many other members will take the same stand a myself." ,
