Boxing Bouts Furnish
Large Tax Returns.
"Under Present Law Game will be
Abandoned in New York.
New York, Nov. 20.?After six
years of boxing under legal control
the game of gloved fisticuffs has
again been abandoned throughout
New York State. The last bouts under
the provisions of the Frawley law
were held November 14th and such
contests as may be held in the future
will probably be staged under the socalled
"club membership plan." An
idea of the popularity of boxing,
even under the restrictions imposed
by the law just repealed, may be
gained from the fact that the gate receipts
during the six years of the ring
game amounted to about $5,000,000,
and the state's share was close to
$300,000.
The official return for 1917 are not
available at this time but the commis
sion reports for the years between
1911 aand 1916 show that $4,502,280,
was paid in at the prates of the various
boxinpr clubs located throughout
the state and that the revenue derived
under the Legislature tax amounted
to $262,263. The estimated receipts
for the present year are placed
" It close to $500,000, and the tax returns
at about $40,000.
During the period of boxing under
the Frawley law two titles changed
hands as the result of knockouts scored
in the rings of New York City.
Al. McCoy wrested the middleweight
title away from George Chip in April,
1914 by knocking out the champion in
one round. McCoy in turn lost his
title in a sensational bout with Mike
O'Dowd in the last big bout under
the Frawley law, when he was knocked
out by the St. Paul boxer in the
sixth round of their bout held Nov.
14, 1917. The other championship
won and lost was the lightweight title
which passed from Freddie Welsh to
Benny Leonard earlier in the present
year when the latter scored a clean
knockout of the Welshman in their
third meeting in this city.
Other bouts of particular interest
were the Willard-Moran and the Mc
Farland-Gibbons matches which set a
record in recent year pate receipts.
Probably the most exciting boxing
event under the recently defunct law
was the K. O. rules and apparently
every follower of boxing * for miles
about New York was eager to crowd
his way into Madison Square Garden
for the initial clash. The result was
a near-riot, calls for police reserves
and legalized boxing began under discouraging
auspices. For all-round
excitement and execution the Bombardier
Wells-Al. Palzer battel at the
Garden was probably the most sensational
one stagecj. during the entire six
years of boxing.

Plans Being Made to
Remodel British Cities. 1
?
After the War Will Follow the r\
Italian Plan. (
Dondon, October 16. (Correspondence
of The Associated Press)?Brit- 1
ish architects and town-planning er> I
perts, who are making plans for a
great remodelling of British cities after
the war, declare that one of the
most successful experiments in new
types of industrial and urban housing
is that which has been made by the
Italian Good Dwelling Society in
Rome. The idea of adopting some- J
thing similar in England has been pro- ?
posed. g
"The Italian Society," says a report ,
on the Rome experiment, "has erected
a block of working-class flats contain- 1
ing 800 dwellings, designed for all
types and sizes of families. The flats |
are built on four sides of a square, I
with a garden in the center, in which
the 'Children's House' stands Ly
itself.
"You enter the quadrangle by a
great gateway. To the left is a roam j
for storing baby-carriages and bicy- ^
cies. 10 tne rignt is the porter's office
the postoffice and telephones for C
general use. Inside, nearest the gate ]
are floweV beds and an open space for j
the pleasure of everyone. Beyond are
the children's gardens, then the little
low building called the Children's
House, a charming place, white, with
great windows that stand open to the
air, and covered with rambler roses.
Here is the nursery school Vor children
under seven. Another big room
in the Children's House is the 'Af- ^
ter School' where the children over ]
seven do their home lessons on return- ]
ing from school ,under supervision and j
in conditions that they could not possibly
find in their own homes.
"The 'After School,' the nursery |
school, and the cloak-rooms occupy
the whole of the front of the Children's
House. On the other side there
is a group of rooms whose use is
common to the whole establishment.
There is a large common room for the 1
women, fitted with ?lpr*trir? coiuin- wo
' K i
chines and electric irons, which can <
be used on payment 'of a smajl sum.
Here also are great cutting tables *
and sewing tables such as women ?
know to be invaluable in sewing work
but which are impossible in small
homes. A common wash house and j
laundry is in the basement of the
building.
"This central building also contains
a 'surgery,' where a doctor is in attendance
at stated times and any tenant
may have free advice. If tenants ^
need attention in their own apart- f
ments, there is a fee of 20 cents, j
Twice a week the doctor examines all
the school children.
The buildings are equipped with r
numerous bath-rooms, but hot water is
obtainable only at stated times.
"The flats are of various sizes,
overcrowding is forbidden, and fami- j
lies must move into larger flats as ^
their numbers increase. The largest
flats are designed to aconmmndatfl fV?A '
parents and five children. Tenants
who rise above a certain standard in *
the care of their dwellings receive a \
percentage of their rent hack in an 1
annual bonus." s
