In conversation with a reporter Madden
said: Il have often seen the best man
lose through the rules being wrongly con-
strued by boxers and referees. When
went to England in 1882 I gave hundreds
of contests and had a good opportunity to
study the rules. I'll admit since that time
the game has had considerable advance
ment and that a few opportune clauses
up to date. Many changes have been ad
vocated, and l have concluded to suggest
a text myself.
In the first place, a referee should new
er ask the boxers before they begin con-
test If they want to hit with one hand free
or break clean. There is no such thing as
hitting with one hand free. Such rules
as the boxers make as to not hitting on
the breakaway and in ciinches and step
ping back would not be tolerated in Eng
land and are liable at any time to end in
the beaten man winning the fight. The ref
cree should not let boxer clinch to save
himself as some boxers do every time
they get a severe punch. and they often
make the spectators and referee believe
that the other man is at fault.
II have touched On the prevailing disor-
ders resulting from a one-sided match
Very few referees have the temerity to
stop contest when it resolves itself into
a brutal affair. l like to give a good
chance to any boxer, but an uneven con-
test is always peril to the boxer who is
getting the worst of it, and sometimes

REVISION OF TIE
PRIZE RING CODE
Billy Madden Outlines a Set
of Rules.
Says the Time Is Ripe for Reform
i'm Methods.
The Best Points of the Queensberry
and London Prize Ring Regula-
tfons Embodied.

The loose interpretations of the Marquis
OF Queensberry rules of late has called
forth a storm of protest from sporting
men all over the country. They demand
that new code be formulated and that
it should be strictly enforced. The unsat-
isfactory termination of many important
boxing contests is directly laid TO the door
of incompetent referees who allow their
sympathies TO get the better Of their judg
ment In justice to some officials, how
ever, il may be said that the rules are
chiefly at fault and that they should be
changed materially TO meet the demands
of up-to-date boxing. With a few excep-
tions the Marquis of Queensberry rules
are very vague and do not cover all the
points of the manly art. The opinion pre-
walls that very few fights should be lost
on fouls Those who bet their money on
boxing contests do not care to lose on tech
nicalities. They want to see the battle
progress to the limit and desire to have
the better man win. But, under existing
conditions, this, several sports think, is
impossible.
Billy Madden, the well-known manager
of pugilists, has compiled new set of
rules dwelling on all intricate points OF
boxing. Madden has had wide experience
among pugilists and other sporting celeb
rites, and is probably the Oldest promoter
now before the public. Billy has been
handling fighters for years, and has watch
ed the development of boxing with criti-
cal eye, and therefore is qualified to ad-
vance suggestions for the betterment OF
the sport. Billy in his new code, which is,
practically speaking. a thorough revision
of the old London prize ring and Marquis
of Queensberry rules combined thinks
that he has struck the popular key, and
is quite confident that his version of how
TO conduct fights and boxing matches will
be adopted by all the leading athletic clubs
both here and abroad. Madden's rules are
as follows:
i. To be a fair stand-up boxing match in
twenty-four foot ring near that size as
possible
2. No wrestling or hugging allowed.
8. The rounds to be of three minutes durltirE,
with one minutes rest between rounds.
a. IL either falls, through weakness or
otherwise, he must get up unassisted; ten sec
onds to be allowed him TO do SO, and when the
fallen is on his legs the round is 20 he

BUILDING INSPECTOR DEFIEp
Unsafe Walls stand Despite Orders
to Destroy Them

TO destroy Them.
Interesting developments have resulted
from an official investigation by the Dis
trict Commissioners into a complaint en-
tered by Mrs. NJ. B. Hay, ass New Jersey
Avenue southeast, that certain persons
had been stealing property from the prem
ises of 635 X Street southeast The COM
plant has resulted in an order directing
the owner to tear down the building with
IN fifteen days, as it is in a dangerous
condition.
The house at 635 X Street has long been
in dilapidated condition. More than a
year ago an order was issued by the Com
mlsslonerS for its removal. In February
1898, request was made for an extension
of time on the ground that Mrs. Hay was
sick and unable to have the building torn
down. An extension OF fifteen days was
granted but for some reason the Building
Department allowed the owner to remove
only the top story.
Had not the owner made complaint about
the depredations of some unknown person
who ran away with some of the building
material stored on the lower floors of the
structure it is probable that no further
action would have been taken, and that
the building would have been permitted to
stand indefinitely.
Litul d. W. ItSSlOTu, III Charge Oh the
Fifth precinct police station, to whom the
matter was referred for report, says:
l found the house in a dangerous condition
and it should be demolished The wall ON the
alley side is more than five inches out of plumb
and liable to fall. think the party was noti-
fed about eight months ago to remove it, They
took off the top story, stored a lot Of old lunl-
ber and brick the first floor, and fenced it
in. There is no indication Of anything having
been stolen.
The matter was in turn referred to the
Inspector of Buildings, John B. Brady, who
returned the papers with the statement
that he has notified the owner to tear down
the building and remove the walls within
fifteen days. Mr.. Brady did not exp ain
why the walls were permitted to remain
almost year after their demolition had
been ordered.

A break of the most violent nature com
menced in Sugar this morning soon after
the opening of the stock market. Before
u o'clock the stock had gone down 10 157,
or % points. from the high of yesterday,
1872. This manifestation by the great Sugar
gamble, as usual depressed the entire
market in a most unaccountable way. 1t
will always remain one of the mysteries
of the Street why peopleTwill Speculate in
a stock like Sugar or Tobacco, which are
controlled almost absolutely by clique,
and just as much a mystery why people
holding the standard stocks will become
frightened when such manipulated trust
stocks break The effect of the weakness
in Sugar seemed likely TO be only tenn
porary. AS soon as the pressure was off
that stock the general list commenced TO
show good strength again, which many
believed would continue through the day.
The bullishness of the general public is
asserting itself again and it is noticeable
that with the smallest announcement there
is good buying. The money question may
have a temporary effect either way, al
though it is well known to people who
understand the situation that dear money
for more than a very short time is jmpos-
sible This morning accompanying the
break in Sugar there was a rate of per
cent, which apparently helped force down
prices.
Sugar opened at 165. went to les, and
then began TO tumble. Inside of an hour
ii had gone off more than ten points. II
was believed when 157 was reached that
the break would not extend much further
but. OF course. this must be only a guess,
after the manner of guessing that black
will turn next when red has turned five
times in succession. Mr.. Havemeyer is
out, il is said, with positive denial that
there has been any compromise OF any kind
with the opposition refineries
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. which had the
next best advance after Sugar yesterday
was one of the stocks most affected by the
break in that stock today. 1t declined to
1G3 rs before IL o'clock. This price was
the figure of the close and the highest
price. of last Saturday and it seemed that
the manipulators of the stock were deter
mined not TO let 1t go any lower. There
was a recovery then. and it was predicted
that during the remainder of the day the
stock would be strong. The talk of the
work of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit people
in absorbing everything on Long Island in
| the way of railroads continues with much
positiveness.
The action of the grangers in the morn
ing hours pointed to the probability that
this group would be one of the fea ures
| of the day. All these stocks were strong
at the opening and they all held up well
under the blighting influence of the slump
in Sugar. Atchison preferred and Bur-
| lington are suggested as likely to hive
good advances in the next few days There
is further talk in certain quarters of the
Street as to the probability of a comb:na-

Washington Park and Hanlon's men thereby
won their twelfth straight game; Dunn was
"a steady "a usual. only one OF his bases on
balls resulting in a tally for the visiting play
ers With the exception Of Millers safe drive
the Reds went out in order in tho last hve
innings. Dahlen's catch OF two vicious liners
brought the rootcrs to their feet. 1t
looked like one or more runs in the first
inning when with men on third and
second bases Beckley drove the ball
toward left field Fortunately for the Brook
lyns Dahleu was in direct line with tho ball.
and in a twinkling a double play had been
made. for Setback was caught of third.
Dahlen also got in front OF Corcoran scorch-
ing drive in the last inning.
After Dahlen aud Jones had struck out In the
third inning. McGann trpled and scored on
Daly's safe hounder. which got away from

Inning, Corcoran was the only one to score,
as Beckiey foolishly tried to steal second and
was caught by Farrell. In the fifth inning
Kelley hit for two bases and Ia lied on Dahen's
double. the latter scoring on Joncss hit. The
Reds last run was due to Millcrs drive for
three bases and Becklcys long fly to Kelley:
Anderson singled IN the seventh inning. and
