BOXING HAS YEAH OF TROUBLE

By H. C. HAMILTON (United Ptbss staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK. Jan. 3. Boxing passed A momentous spot In Its variegated history In tho year Just passing. Kicked from Its placo of favor in .New York state it did. however, manage to Btruggle through a year of vicissitude with some sparkling favor. Two titles of some legitimate proportions changed hands during tho year. Two other titles of less significance vera turned over. Jess Wlllard's inactivity hurt the game to a certain extent, but there are indications that tho big fellow may bo forced out of retirement for a fling at the ring game some time in the spring. The Frawley boxing law, legalizing ten round bouts in New York state, passed out of existence on Nov. 15, with hardly a flicker. Mike O'Dowd celebrated its passing by knocking out ono of the most ineffective and unpopular champions who ever has pretended to tho middleweight crown Al McCoy. In tho same year another unpopular king was laid low when Benny Leonerd, native New Yorker, dropped Fredfile Welsh early In the spring. Leonard has sprung Into public estimation as the best lightweight since the days of Joe Cans perhaps the best lightweight who over held the crown. His constant activity and his willingness to take on anyone who appears to be a likely contender for the title, aro serving to mako him more popular day by day. O'Dowd has had little chance to exercise himself since ha took over tho duties of keeping a pugilistic crown Shining. Ho has plenty of opposition In his field, notably in Harry Greb and Mika Gibbons. It is probablo Gibbons would have llttlo trouble in polishing Off the present titla holder, but it also Is doubtful If there Is a chanco of such a match being engineered. Mike Is not willing to battle tho youth he taught to fight, Tho outlook for boxing Is much mora ' ocouraging than when the United

DEEMING OFFERS $100,000 FOR JESS WILLARD BOUT

DEiUNtt, N. M., Jul 3. Jess Wtllard, world's champion he&ry-wotght boxer, ca.a torn $100,000 Into tiia coffers of any wax fond, that will accept It, If he will stage a boat In Turner Park, Deming , 27. M. F. W. Turner, Seating sportsman and capitalist, has made the champion a fiat offer to torn orer his check for 8100,000 If Willard will agree to fight here, Turner's offer has already been telgraphed to WlUard.

Willard last night said he would rather not box in Doming, as the gate receipts In a small town would not warrant staging a match. He believes the "big' city" is the place for the bout. "And, by the way, Where's this fellow rultonr" Willard asked. "I hare not heard anything' from him. I'm ready to 'box him for the title."

6tates entered the war. Tho eagerness with which soldiers have taken up the old game, and the response of boxers to a call for boxing Instructors have had their effect. Boxing is, however. In a bad state, even with a rose In the outlook. Unless Willard agrees to fight easy methods are likely to prevail for some time.
