HE FIGHT GiE
Los Angeles, Jan. 17—The life
of the fight game in California was
at stake today when Jess Wlllard,
Tom McCaKy, the fight promoter,
and five others, went to trial on
charges of violating the California
anti-prize fight law. The charges
against the defendants grew out of
the death last August of John "Bull
Young, who is declared to have re
ceived his fatal injuries in a fight
with Willard. Wlieu arraigned all
the defendants pleaded ut guilty
but they were held for trial. All
then filed demurrers through their
attorneys and Superior Court Judge
Craig over-ruled thorn, contendiug
that any ring contest "In which the
incentive Is to win through a knock
out rather than through boxing" is
a prize-fight and uot a boxing con
test.
Opponents of prize flghtlug In
California have pounced upon the
present trial as a means of killing
the fight game entirely In Calif
ornia, and many church and relig
ious organizations are giving mor
al backiu^ to the state's case. Fight
lovers are behind the defense, bax
ing promoters having resolved to
put up a bitter fight to save the
game.
