'for several years, the law was mended to permit the staging of f:.i.,-round bouts and in other motions of the country boxing made progress. No la"' ever ln force in New york has been so successful, gen erally speaking, as the Walker law legalizing fifteen-round bouts to decisions. This law assures the boxing Can of his money's worth and brings boxers to realize that their profession is work as well as play if they are going to play it In lil' ole New York. Several things contributed tow ard the stimulation boxing enjoy ed. The clearing of Jack Denip-, My, world's heavyweight cham pion, uf slacked charges in San Francisco, and the invasion of Ceorges Carpentier and Jimmy Wilde helped boom the game. Deinpeey vs. Carpentier The matching of Carpentier and Jjeropsey for the heavyweight championship the match of the century has kept fisic bugslagog wlth excitement and the fact that the champions In the various div isions are beginning to find more worthy opponents has done Its: share. One thumpionsnip changed lands during the year and another was definitely determined. Miko O'Dowd, of St, Paul, lost the middleweight title to Johnny Wilson in Boston via the decision route in a twelve-round bout last May. Referee Mclnn'is frendered lie decision that caused the title 10 Chang"' hands. Since winning the title ilson has been warry about defending it and has so far refused to give O'Dowd a return match. He i ttn unpopular cham pion. The title of world's light heavy weight champion, claimed by both Georges Carpentier and Battling Levlnsky, was cleared up when Carpentier knocked L,evinsky out Jn Newark, dropping the New York boxer for the count in the fotlrth round. Carpentier als-j holds the heavyweight champion ship of Europe. Jimmy W'jlde's invasion of this country and the neat manner in which he defended his title -against American boxers ot his weight, conclusively proved his class. Fred Fulton's knockout at the hands of Harry Wills appears to have removed him definitely from the ranks of challengers for heavy weight honors. Leonard Was Busy. Benny Leonard, the popular and active lightweight champion, kept pretty busy during' the year, defending his crown against John ny Dundee and other good light weights. His two most notable houts for the tlti were, fought against Charley White and Joe Welling, both of whom were din posed o" via the kayo route. Jack Britron has been one Df Ihe most active champions. The welter-weight king has met and defended his lourels against all of tte best welters of the country. Pete Herman, the bantamweight title holder, appeared in but few bouts of consequence. Football Brow Biggest Crowds In History. Football was ne -er more popular than during the year just closing.

Crawford's court. This was declared to have been proved after the judge had dismiss ed a case against H. Zirn, a harbor fishman and captain of a vessel of the local fishing fleet. Zirn was taken into custody by a deputy of the state fish and game commission. The officer took from the fisherman as evidence three gunnysacks filled with lobsters. It was charged that many of the lob sters exceeded sixteen inches In length, the maximu maize permitted by the law for such catches. As the fisherman was not taken immediately to court, the deputy conceived the idea of boiling the evidence as a precautionary meas ure. The court held that the evi dence had been tampered with and that, as cooking of lobsters causes them to shrink, the judge could not take cognizance of their condition prior to the cooking. The case was dismissed and Fish erman Zirn released. Eels Clog Boiler. Portsmouth, N. H., Dec. 30. Who served home brew to fish in Folly Lake. York, Me.?
