Legalized Boking in Bad If Muldoon Refuses to Serve as Ordinary Member of New York Commission, Says Scribe By DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK, Feb j5.—Doleful mi* picions were bo ing circulated today to the ef feet that legal ized boxing in New York would be returned to its precarlout condition of a few weeks age unless William Muldoon decide* to pocket his pride and serve on the boxing commission as an ordinary member -without special distinction or privileges. It was Mul doon's thought as well as that of everyone outside of the pale of poli tics that the so-called "sordid man” of boxing would be named chairman of the commission upon his reappoint ment by the governor. He was not. The fear, therefore, is general that Muldoon will again resign his post and the fact that he has gone into silence on the matter In ques tion has served to strengthen this suspicion. His proponents are split ting no infinitives in saying that if Muldoon goes out, boxing will fol low, ultimately. Aalted today at his home in Pougli keepsie, N. Y„ as to what action, If any, he contemplated, Muldoon mere ly said: "I do not care to discuss the mat ter at this time except to say that I naturally was surprised and disap pointed by the failure of the commis sion to elect me Its chairman.” George W. Brower, a democrat, was the man elected. He was nominated hy James Farley, an other democrat, and seconded by himself. Muldoon, observing this maneu ver, did not vote. Those who fear for the future of boxing, base their opinion on the belief that Brower larks the ex perience in boxing necessary to conduct that difficult sport on lines of security. Jt la Brower's sincere hope that he sen persuade Muldoon to remain on the commission and has gone on rec ord to the effect harmony within the ranks of the body It to be hla watch word.

This season's crop of mat bouncers ar* all young, all American and all slim. There are no more ferocious Arabs or Terrible Mah Jongs. Japanese wrestlers weigh from 300 to 400 sirloins but are as active as mice In a cracker barrel. Two of these Toklo tumbler* were pulling and tagging at each other’* oriental ear* when the earthquake came along and shuf fled Japan like a pinochle deck In a Saengerbund hall. The wrestlers never stopped. They thought the earthquake waa Just the other guy taking a new grip. There Is a wrestler In India who faded sway to f>00 pounds during the Isst famine. Ills normal register is 800 and ha threw hla last opponent through a door without opening the door. We hate plenty of those heavy talileweights oser here, hut the public doesn't care to see a couple of sleepwalkers wandering around the ring. So Jack Curley Is putting all his boys on a diet and has them down to a shadow and 200 extra. That isn't much for a wrestler between meals. The best of the youngsters is Pat McGill of Nebraska. Pat only weighs 200 pounds with his hair clipped. Wayne Munn Is another by product of Nebraska corn. Wayne weighs a splintery 2T0. But that ain't much in wrestling. If you don't scale over 20(1 In wrestling, you are an incubator baby. /-----; Large Number of Teams Entered in Prep Cage Tournament at Kearney Kearney, Neb..

Feb. 12.—With ac ceptances received from over 25 bas ket ball teams of this section al ready, indications are that the first northeastern -Nebraska basket ball tournament to be held in Fremont February 22 and 23. under the aus pices of Midland college, will be a big success. Replies signifying their intentions to be present at the Fremont cags classic continue to drift in each day. The idea seemed to meet with instant approval of the various coach es. w ho aro anxious to give their proteges a workout In an elimination contest before the state tourney takes place early in March. Every other section of the state holds its state tournament, they feel, and there is no reason why the schools of this vicinity should not benefit from like experience in prep aration for the state gathering. Members of the Fremont Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. In cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, have igreed to do their utmost in making tha Fremont meet a success. They will provide the trophie* for the va rious two-day stay. Plans are being made to care for three classes of 16 teams each, but should enough teams signifv their intentions of taking pare, additional clar- s will's , added. Members of the Midland "M" club will form the committtees to take charge of the event. up. 1S ir >*: I.M) In*: ....in? V.-nger'a .1S> Mer.-rlls Boy 11?
