Bill That Passed State Senate Permit

to Die in Legislature.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
SPRINGFIELD. 111., May 18.—The
Lill legalizing six-round boxing con
tests in Illinois, which passed the sen
ate a couple of weeks ago is practical
ly dead.
The house last night defeated a mo
tion to suspend the rules for the con
sideration of the measure on the or
der of second reading.
It is a legislative possibility to save
the life of the measure today, but the
friends of the bill have abandoned
hope. Only fifty-seven votes were
mustered in support of the motion to
suspend the rules when objections
were made to the consideration of the
bill and fifty-three votes were cast
against it.
Under the house rules a two-thlrds
vote is necessary to bring up a bill
for consideration when objections are
raised. The session will end Friday.
