stage replied with Augustus Thomas.,
and tor some years organizod base !
ball has been in the care ot Judge |
Landis. All are men ot such prom j
inence as to impart an air ot stabil-!
ity to the industries they govern, J
and it has suddenly occurred to some j
master mind, interested in the affairs j
ot fistic games, that something ot I
this nature might bo done for boxing ;
The matter will come up at the 1
annual convention of. tho National]
Boxing Association at the Hotel As
tor, January 15 and 16, when boxing !
commissioners from all states when
the sport is legalized will consul:’! |
various plans for its betterment. It |
is understood sponsors of the plan :
have "Big'Bill" Edwards in ntind for;
the position. So much for that.
Seek Official Status
The proposition goes further, how
ever. If a national head can be
appointed to control the sport, the
next step will bo nothing less than!
an attempt to secure official toler
ance, if not actual recognition o;
boxing in states where it is now J
taboo. The prominence of the man
appointee! is expected, of course, to
lend dignity to this project. Accord
ing to Tex O'Rourke, secretary of
the association, tiro groundwork has
been laid at Washington for tho |
passing of legislation that would i
elevate boxing to the status of a
national sport. Tex declares that;
<Jutzon Borglum. noted sculptor and ]
president of the ill-t'ated Internation '
al Sporting Club, lias already dls-j
cussed the project with President i
Harding and officials of the war
and navy departments.

Just whether Mr. Borglum's Idea
were given encouragement or polite j
attention, Tex neglected to state. I

dent is more or loss interested, pro

"Tho convention will bo asked to

“1 am glad to say that we expect

and Missouri during the present year,
and if wo can secure the president's
recognition, much of the- opposition
will die a natural death. '
