SPORTING MISCELLANY.

willing to believe that It was Griffo. not
mcAuiine. who was being cuffed and
hammered about the Coney Island arena
on Monday night. II appears that the
referee used two infsllible aids In filling
MS office. The first OF these consisted of
Two pieces Of mechanism concealed in
the palm Of either hand, leaving the use
OF his eyes for scrutlnizing purposes. The
other was the Seaside a. e. rules, like
which nothing has ever been seen for
elasticity. as proved by the decision.
All who are familiar with Referee
More's features know there Is rot a sug-
gestion Of strabsmus about the optics, So
that the number of hits credited to Nc
Auliffe In the tally upon which he based
his fearfully devised decision must have
been caused by Maxey getting his hands
crossed while he wasn't watching them.
Or perhaps the little machines didn't run
evenly. or perhaps-but what's the use
OF surmlsing?-there's the tally, and IT'S
lust full OF credits for McAuliffe, show
ing that while he was doing nothing the
little register was working overtime.

whether II was in the referees right
or left hand seems to have needed oil,
according to the comparisons of its in
dicat!ons against it's companion. But
this Is an error that is easily ex-
planned. and which, when explained. will
show that MaXeys left nand was en-
tirely ignorant of what his right hand
was doing, in exact accordance with the
Scriptural injunction. Right here Is
where the rules come in. 1t seems
that unless blow is delivered de-
grees from the meridian of the semi
globe formed by a closed glove, rest

one-tenth the entire surface of the nit
ten upon the adversary's body, the hit

machine knocked off work while he was
biting and tapping McAuliffe without
a return for several rounds. Critic

of time when bouts could be refereed
entirly by machine. This would be an
immense card for the Seaside people.
with register attached would do away
with the necessity of paying $3.50 for
the amphitheatre-if the Seaside rules
could be stretched still another point.
More's statement as to Critics abil-
ity does the lad much credit, but II fails
to ad lust the matter of compelling peo-
pie who actually won money on the bout
to pay their stakes as losers. .''Griffo

be induced to train thoroughly and do
as it goes. but the bout which it was
supposed was being judged was not a
test actually in progress on Monday
night. More further points out that he
had little difficulty in convincing men
cislon was just. Why the bout itself
failed to carry conviction of McAuliffe's
victory without the aid of other than
the tistic argument to the minds of the
talent does not appear.
Neither does 1t appear why, If Mr.
