(By the Associated Negro Press.)
Philadelphia, Pa.—The boxing com-
mission of this state has issued an
official ruling against boxing matches
between white and colored fighters,
holding that ‘‘it is not deemed prudent
nor for the best interest 6f the sport
at this time to have Negroes and
whites meet in ring combit.” Fred
White, ex-University of Pennsylvania
star, was recently placed on the com-
mission at $5,000 a year by Governor
Pinchot. White is colored. It is not
known what his attitude is in regard
to the ruling. The announcement was
made by William H. Rocap, former
referee and head of the commission.
This Jim Crow announcement fol-
lowed short on the heels of the denal
to Jack Johnson, former heavyweight
champion pugilist, of a license to box
in the state of Pennsylvania, the com-
mission declaring he is too old, and
offering him instead a trainer's li-
cense so that young boxers might
learn something of Johnson’s skill in
the ring.
It is expected that prominent race
leaders in the state will strongly pro-
test the stand of the commission.
When Mr. White was appointed to the
commission one of the leading papers
of the state advised the governor that
such an appointment was not such as
to satisfy a race that was entitled to
full amnhood recognition. The gov-
ernor is now in a position to be called
to account for what is termed the un-
American action of his commission.
Such an attitude on the part of the
commission, if allowed to persist by
the governor, would put a tremendous
crimp in the latter’s rumored presi-
dential aspirations.
