The stand taken by the clergyman against lilo affair has caused wide- |apread lutelcat and speculation on the Iport of the general public as to Just what kind of ring create one pertain: aible under the Connecticutinw. ' It is mainttlined by the managers of the club that events such as they have been running off. this evening's hated the third in the series. are allowed openly to iiridseport. and New Haven. and they can see no reason why the law can interfere here. The law per~ mite scientific sparring exhibitions but does not permit of prize lights. The Twin City Athletic Club peo~ pie declare that their affair is, in no manner a prize light. They also in- slat th t they are running a smoker. though t is the clergymen’s point that this title merely onvera the real char- acter of their event. The clergymen also assert that they have received - information from a reliable source that a prize fight has been planned for tonight and that ill feeling has been engendered between the conical.- ants. This. it is figured. will make for more than the scientific exhibition permitted under the law. The athletic club tnombera any they don't know how such information could have. been given out. V The promoters of the "smoker" say this evening's affair to planned to be identical with its predecessors. They say that in all of the previous arrange- nlcnta they have been very careful to see that nothing outaide of an ac- cident would cause improper develop- ments. A rclercc has insisted on im' mediate "breaks" in clinches. thun pro venting gruelling "to lighting" work in clinches. In view of the protest of the clergy» men it in espectetl that the police will take extra procautionu this even- ing. though it in doubted if tho'oiiieinio will stop the exhibition unions in their opinion. the limits contemplated by the law are overstepped. lli’liiilllil liliill it till Bill iiiilllilii The city council illili an important meeting on for next Monday night. when it in proposed to or the sainrlcti of various city official». it is held by at local one member of the council to be the duty of each succeeding council to individually llx tin-ac polar- ion.
