MORALITY OF BOXING.
If there are still some women left io-faj belonging to the crinoline age why not eW* by it and not dabble in modern sport? Being a woman myself possessed of a normally balanced sporting mind, I would like to W in defence of boxing that never yet" have l failed to be aroused to a state of extrem* excitement and admiration by a display 'W™ l calls for so. much human strength and endurance. Would it be necessary for me to state that strength and suppleness is admiredW women as well as men? Miss Oates suggest that man should view it. through the eyfes« a woman. I suggest that woman do so througl the eyes of a man—two quite impossible ■Wβ* gestions. Danger is attached to every ■ #> s ' sible sport, but while one is engaged in Vrs the love for the chosen sport is greater thW the risk of personal danger. Therefore,.H-l may be permitted to say, would Miss'v&w' next time she is witnessing a boxing .mWj view it through the eyes of an all-ronntt sport? I am "quite sure ehe would he w*" elated. (MISS) A. A. SPORT.
