HAMILTON (United Pi ess Staff Correspondent.) New York, Maroh 29. Governor Whitman of New York is determined that before the close of this year box ing will be kicked completely out of New York. His determination, he de clared in recent informal discussions, is unalterable. He is opposed to the game from every angle. The unfavorable publicity the game has received in this city, the unfavor able and unsavory bouts that have been pulled off from time to time, Fred Wenck's unfortunate experience with tho hot end of that $100 check and several other things, have soured Whitman completely. Wenck's conduct in office vas very br.d and it was the straw that broke the governor's back. He announced that Wenck would be removed from of fice and then let it be known in an unofficial way that no one would bo appointed to replace the deposed chair Motor Car No. 78 Runs On Following Schedule Between La Grande and Elgin ON AND AFTER APRIL 2d- DAILY EXCEPT SUNDAY 4:20 p. m. 11:40 a. jn.

He repaid the money but Franklin B. Lord, the governor's rep resentative who heard the evidence in charges brought by Harry Pollok, John White and others, held that Wenck acted in disrespect to the dignity of his office in asking for the loan. As if this were not enough, Wenck permitted his office to be used on more than cue occasion as hsdquart ors for visiting managers of boxers who were to appear in New York rings. Not only did he do that, but he even recommended "a hustling young manager of a fight club" to a former manager of Fred Fulton, who asked regarding tne staointy oi ciuds. He also indorsed a note for $2,500 to help this manager stage a match. These things were bad, they nettled the governor, and he was firmly de termined to end the game for all time when the evidence was all in.

WAR PROSPECT HELPING BASEBALL By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, March 29. The prospect of the entry by the United States into the war is doing good for baseball even if it is knocking the lid off everything else. The military aspect of training camps and the patriotic utterances of many men connected with the nation. al eame is eiving it a stimulus not shown since the days before the bat tle with the Federal league. Baseball seemingly is reaching the most rational level it has touched since the Athletics used to clock off a pen nant a season. Federal leagues are dead and forgotten and Dave Fultz has long since ceased to clutter up the atmosphere and the magnates' dreams with threats of what the base ball players fraternity will do. Players drilling training camps and learning how to help if the country ever (becomes involved in conflict is turning more than one mans head toward the sports page where in years past he would have passed it up. Ban Johnson probably never did more to stimulate interest than when ho de cided favorably upon the military. training pian suggesrea oy oujjuiui Til. Huston of the Yankees. Huston's military appearance and the fact that he served in the army during the war with Spain londs a col or of credence to stories that could not have arisen in any other way.
