No Fights in Chicago.

Promoters of the twenty-round boxing
contests will have to pull off their shows in
some other place than Chicago if Mayor
Harrison adheres to the policy he has OUT
lined. "Twenty -rOund contests will bo
tabooed, eight rounds under strict police
regulations being the limit to which these
contests may be carried" says the mayor.
And it is said no amount of influence or
pressure will cause Chicago's executive to
vary from this policy.

hands. But we need not count upon this
too confidently. We, ourselves, have
