Boxing is not. and the sooner the Pacific association drops trying to make the boxing end of the Amateur Athletic Union amateur the better they avIH be off. The boxing from an amateur standpoint is in a very bad condition, and cannot go on much longer. What Is wanted in the Pacific and Pacific Northwest is more open athletic competitions com-petitions for the schoolboys, the working work-ing boys and the athlotlc club boys. They want more athletic grounds. I should think that they were absolutely short of athletic hustlers. They have a great many, but It Is too bad that we, could not send out from the Eastern district twenty-flve or thirty men we have here, who are expert athletic managers. The West will open up. nnd I think the holding of the Western championships this year will do it. and if it continues to Improve in the future as it has In the past, there la no reason why theyshould not become the athletic athlet-ic leaders of the world. They have great athletic talent there that Is not developed the men simply do not get a chance to compete." |
