LIFTS BAN ON MIXED BOUTS. — New York, Jan. 28.—Wednesday of last week the State Athletic Commis sion announced that in the revision of boxing rules hereafter the commis sion will allow mixed bouts. A deci sion has been handed down by Deputy Attorney General Obemeies that the ban prohibiting boxing between white and colored pugilists is unconstitu tional. This rule was passed by the former Commission. The rule against mixed bouts was made to prevent a contest between Jack Johnson and A1 Palzer. At the ; time Johnson was very much in the j limelight and the Commission did not look favorably on Johnson fighting in New York. Governor Whitman is said to have declared several weeks ago that the rule barring mixed bouts was uncon stitutional and notified Chairman Fred Wenck to that effect. Among those to work for the revocation of the rule was Hon. Charles W. Ander son, former Collector of Revenue and now Supervisor of Agriculture.
