ZT3 " This Stock to Be Wiped Out by Jan. 1 st gC Co f fro tlx Says Game In. California "Was Not Killed by Women, bnt fty Men and Avers That Only Politics Is to Blame. Illinois stands tn a fair way to fall in line with Louisiana and allow de cision bouts within the boundaries of the state. Reports from Chicago say that of 77 votes needed in the state House of Rep resentatives to pass a boxing bill, 56 are pledged. This Information Is vouchsafed by State Representative Epstein, who was himself a former manager of boxers. He also declares that In the Senate, where 27 votes are needed to pass the bill,- 20 have an nounced that they are in favor of the are five bills in all to be put before the lawmakers. One Is fostered by Representative Epstein and one will be introduced by Eddie Santry, the former boxer, who was recently elected to the Legislature. Those behind the measure seek to make boxing a legalized sport begin ning July 1, 1915. Contrary to the popular Idea, it was not the women's vote that put the rollers under boxing: in California,' ac cording to a statement credited to "Sunny Jim" Coffroth. "It was the men's vote that put an end to our great sport, men who used religion and reform as political agents," Coffroth is quoted as having said recently. He asserted that the women of Cali fornia are great admirers of athletes and would not have voted the game out alone, had it, been put up to them. Coffroth avers that it was the result of politics pure and simple and that the majority of the voters merely rode the wave without giving the matter a second thought. To strengthen his claim on the bantamweight title, Frankie Burns recently stopped Chick Hayes, the In dianapolis phenomenon, Jn the 13th round of a scheduled 16-round bout at New Orleans. Young Jack Cohen, who Jumped into the fistic limelight a few years ago by defeating "Young" Shugrue. Abe Attell and Johnny Dundee and then was not heard of again, has popped up in JCew York. He says he is in the best of condition and soon will be ready to step out for the lightweight crown. He fought before in the featherweight division. Tom Ratcliffe, manager of Frank Kendall, the Portland heavyweight, who will meet Jim Downing in a 10-round encounter tonight at Boise, Idaho, says th.e Portlander -will win. "I can't refrain from predicting the outcome of this fight," said Ratcliffe yesterday in a letter to The Oregontan. "I feel confident that Kendall will win. I have never seen him in such good shape as he is now. I have not yet seen Downing work, but the folks here abouts say he is a whirlwind. I look for a hard fight, but we will stop Mr. Downing if we can, and just as quickly as we can. "The high altitude has somewhat af fected Kendall's wind, but I do not look for any trouble on that score." Ratcliffe also said that Kendall weighed 192 pounds December 19. I ' Johnpy'Grifflth, the Akron. O., light weight, who recently returned from Australia, where he won five fights without being defeated, is camping on the trail of Charley White. Jess Willard probably will be trained for his match with Johnson by Jim Daly, who put Jim Corbett and Gus Ruhlin in the running. Freddie Welsh has taken untd him self the role of "Shylock." The British champion is haggling over a "pound of flesh" in the most approved Shake sperean manner, according to reports from Gotham. As a result the McFarland-Welsh bat tle is hanging in the balance. Freddie insists that Packey make 135 pounds on the afternoon of the proposed en counter, and Packey is holding out for 136 pounds. Freddie figures that if McFarland makes 136 pounds at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the contest, at 10 o'clock that night, when the battle is scheduled to take place, he will weigh at least five pounds more, while Freddie will not take on any weight.
