State Undertakes
to Purify Boxing
and Wrestling Game
How to. put crooks and promoters
out of the boxing and wrestling game
as the subject of a conference last
Wednesday afternoon between Secre
tary H. It. Antles of the. department
of public welfare and A dozen mem
lers of the American legion at the
rtate house, says the State Journal.
This task seems to many an impos
sible one.. Members of the legislature
-debated the question and expressed
doubts of the success of H. R. 154, but
the bill was sponsored by the Ameri
can legion of Nebraska and was passed
and is now a law. In past years some
what similar bills were defeated, usu
ally on the ground that they were
thought to be fa the purpose of cre
ating a paid office for the benefit of
ome prize fighting promotor or that
they would result merely in legalizing
of the worst kind of exhibitions and
prize fights which are now under ban
of the state lw.
Mr. Antles and his conferees pro
Tose to tackle the job of making box
ing and wrestling square games. Be
cause the legion had sponsored the
till, Mr. Antles desires that organiza
tion to take some of the responsibility,
--although he is required by law to en
force the act and make rules and regu
lations governing matches, bouts and
contests between boxers and wrestlers.
The men in attendance were John Hop
Tans, Jack Shannon, J. J. Pat Boyle,
-John Kilmartin of Omaha, George W.
Rawell, Jr., Marcus Fotect, Bert R.
-Anderson, Mason Wheeler and F. B.
O'Connell of Lincoln: William L. Cros
on of Hastings and J. R. Brady and
"William Lewiotdale of Grand Island.
Tim ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1021
Mr. Brady is a Spanish-American sol
dier. The others are members of the
American legion.
If there Is any way crooks can evade
the provisions of the boxing bill, Mr".
Antles and his advisers want to know
it. It was admitted that crooks can
split money in ways not authorized by
law and can "fix" matches, but if they
are ever caught at it, they will not be
able to repeat the trick in Nebraska.
The license of the organization under
whose auspices the law is found to be
violated will lose its license and so will
the principals in the match. It is
admitted that matches can be pulled
off in public, in violation of the law or
ratheroy ignoring the law, but in such
a case there could be no admission fee
charged, no prize money put up, and
there could be no referee and conse
quently no decis'on. Such a match
would not be much of an exhibition.
The matter of matches where rio
direct admission fee is charged was
also discussed. It was suggested that
a gathering might pay for a supper or
pay admission fee into a county fair
and a match might be staged at such a
supper or" at the fair.
It is admitted that under the law a
principal in a match can pay his man
ager whatever fee he pleases, but un
der the law no part of the receipts can
go to a promoter who may offer to
stage a match. The promoter is sup-
Fose to be a dead one under this law.
f he gets in on the money it will have
te be by violation of the law,
Organizations or clubs that have
been in business one year and whose
principal business is something besides
staging boxing and wrestling buots
can obtain a license. No individual
can be licensed to promote matches.
If there is a violation of the law the
organization's license is revoked and
it forfeits a $1,000 bond which is nec
essary to obtain a license.
The legion men suggested the ap
pointment of assistants to Secretary
Antles ana also a secretary. Mr.
Antles will appoint a secretary when
the work under the new law appears
to justify. He will divide the state
into districts and appoint assistants to
be called commissioners in each dis
trict These men will serve without
pay. The districts will be formed
along the various main lines of rail
roads. How many there shall be has
not been decided. The 5 per cent of
gate receipts which goes to the state
department of public welfare will be
used to pay necessary expenses, in
cluding salaries and office expenses.
Blank form for reports, licenses and
permits are to be drawn up after
forms used in other states have been
examined. No license will be issued
until the office machinery is in work
ing order. Rules are to be adopted
after Secretary Antles confers further
with members of the legion.

The pleasure is worth it. There's no sub
stitute for Camel quality and that mild,
fragrant Camel blend.
The fellow who smokes Camels, wants
Camels. That's because Camels have a
smoothness, a fragrance and a mildness you
can't get in another cigarette.
Don't let anyone tell you that any other
cigarette at any price is so good as Camels.
- Let your own taste be the judge. Try
Camels for yourself. A few smooth, refreshing
puffs and you'd walk a mile for a Camel, too.
