In speaking of Gov. Whitman's fight
against boxing the New York Globe
says:
“It. has probably struck many it
voter that there are more things
worthier of serious consideration than
the repeal of the Frawlcy boxing bill.
Yet Governor Witman continues to
insist that the legislators at Albany
put the game down and out. There
has been no real objection to the
sport; no good reasons have been all
vnncod why the present. law silo ‘~i be
wiped off the statute books and ex
poncnts driven buck the old ‘club
membership’ way of following their
profession.
"Friends of boxing have rallied to
the. cause of the sport, and in the As-
sembly on two occasions the Davis
bill, drawn for the purpose of elimin-
lting the sport, was beaten down. The
action of the members of that. body
was sufficient proof of the desire of
the people to have the sport contin-
ued. - , '
“The constituents of many Asscm‘
blylnen advocated the continuance of
boxing under the Frawley law. and
they, true to their pledges, voted to
put down the Davis repeal. The ‘sport
also found manyLbackers in thelupper
house. and’that's -why- the enemies of
a good sport law have found it so hard
to get their measure through.
“It strikes us that what has been
done is sufficient to show that the box-
ing game is desired and should go
along without further interference.
No finer law could be "drawn up than
that.under which the game is run to-
day. True, there are several undesir
ables in the sport, and the threatened
killing of the-game willhave its good
results. Those in -whpse. hands the
sport is put for guidance can .see to
it that all 'who would bring lt-into dis-
repute are eliminated from it"

.A movement is on foot in the Na-
tional League to have the openings of
the two major circuits set a week or
two later in the spring on account of
weather conditions.
President’EbbcIa of the Brooklyn
Dodgers is fostering the move an
said to have other outcomes with hiln.
Tl‘lcle is also sortie talk of the mat-
ter being llikt‘ll up in the American
tongue. ;
The main objection to the present
enriy opening is that many! games
have to bp, postponed on account of‘
cont weather. rain and snow and bc-E
cause bull players who have condition-
cd tlicmselws in the South lone the
benefits of the training camps when
they work in the frigid April weather
of the coast and lake cities.
It has been argued that the wen-
tlier in mid-October is more likely to
be warm than in April andll5l games
could be played by exending the neu-

'S'I‘OfR‘RS. May l2.-The hens In
the laying contest at Storrs have be-
gun their second half year. The total
yield in the twenty-seventh week
amounted to 3,853, not as many eggs
as were laid in the corresponding
period last year, but the season has
been backward and in consequence
the hens are about two weeks late in
getting out into the grass runs. This
change will undoubtedly make for
more snap and will mean _more eggs .
