This Is a question at the present time which is attracting a great deal of attention in England, when boxihg is the chief topic of conversation because of the impetus given it by Bombardier Wells and Colin Bell affair and the Ritchie- Welsh fight. When the Rev. Edward Digby,, vic- ar of St. Agatha's, Finsbury, consent- ed to act as master of certemonles at the Bell-Wells fight there was much discussion as to the' propriety of such action on the part of a clergy- man. Shortly afterwards it became known that many well known women; had secured tickets for these fights; which precipitated a discussion in which the clergyman's action. was entirely lost sight of. Scores of persons have been interviewed an this subject, and while many have advocated the right .of women to at- tend" prizefights and boxing contests the predominant opinion is that it is "pot for the gentler sex." Father Vaughn, is expressing an opinion in oppbsition ®o the right of women .to attend such performances, sald 'When 1 women rushing to boxing matches I ask, Why do- not men refuse to take women to arenas where they must witness scenes which ought to disgust, as they must degrade, them?
