hear the announcement maze from the
ring side, as IL is done with unvarying
regularity now, that ''the fighters have
agreed to fight under straight Mar
quis of Queensberry rules. hitting with
one hand free in the clinches,' or
both fighters have agreed to break
clean at the order of the referee"
That is nothing short Of an imper-
tinence. The Queensberry rules do not
allow Of any agreement of any sort
between the fighters with regard to
hitting in the clinches with one hand
free" while as to agreeing to break
clean at the order of the referee" they
are left absolutely no option by the
rules. To an English referee such an
rouncements would be the height Of
righteousness.
To begin with, the rules expressly
declare at almost the very outset that
there shall be no wrestling or clinch-
ing allowed" while those who place a
strict Interpretation on rule I'VE would
be astounded at the way it is con-
stantly violated in the ring here. 1t
reads:
IF either man fall he must get up

him TO do so, the other contestant
meanwhile to return to his corner, and

OUL fighting in the American
IL prize ring is nothing short of
amazing. 1t has become so
prevalent that both the fighters
and the. sport loving public have al
most completely lost sight Of the rules
governing the game, until IT would be
a positive revelation to fight followers
here If an English referee should be
brought over TO officiate at fight and
interpret the Queensberry rules as
strictly as they are enforced in the
land where they originated. Nine
tenths Of the fighters who are now
popular favorites it is safe to say
would be disqualified before the con-
tests had gone half a dozen rounds.
OF course. 1 wish it understood at
the outset that by foul fighting /
DO not mean that absolutely vicious
and willful fouling Of an opponent that
never fails to arouse an American audi
ence TO wrathful Indignation, and
which IL is only fair to say is very
seldom INDUCED in. but technical dis
regard or perversion Of the Queens
berry rules which has become alarm
ingly common.
Indeed. to any one who has given the
Queensberry rules even passing atten-
ton il is nothing short OF amusing To
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-24

round is to be resumed and continued
until three minutes have expired. II
either man fails to come to the scratch
in the ten seconds allowed 1t shall be in
the power of the referee to give his de-
cision in favor of the other man."
Both these rules are simple and
straightforward, without the peradven-
ture Of a doubt. There can be only
one Interpretation. Rule three says
there shall be no wrestling or clinch-
ing allowed. There is nothing whatever
in the rules about hitting with one
hand free" but in the foregoing they
do expressly state that both hands
shall be free and there must be no
clinching of any sort, and yet how
often do we have the spectacle OF both
men holding on with one hand and
slugging with the other.
Rule five expressly states that when
one man falls his opponent must return
to his corner and stay there until the
fallen man is on his feet again, when
the round may be resumed. There is
no mistaking that rule; but how often
is it observed by either fighter nova
days or enforced by the referee? Instead
we are invariably treated to the sight
If the transcendent slugger ravenously
standing directly over his fallen foe
hungrily waiting for him to show the
first evidence of getting on his feet SO
that he can smash him again and finish
the Job before his opponent recovers
his senses. And with equal frequency
we see the referee, instead of ordering
the man to his corner while the other
is down, wrestling with the impatient
slugger to keep him away from mis-
victim while the count is being made.
All this is both unnecessary and un-
fair, and under d strict Interpretation
of the rules is as much of q foul as
would be a low blow, or striking man
when he is down. Yet Ii is form of
fouling that is constantly disregard
ed by the public and the fighters alike.
Note, for instance, how the discus
sion waxed wroth after the Britt
Corbett fight as to hitting in the
breakaway, hitting with one hand free,
hitting In the clinches and which side
the referee should have stood on when
he forced the men apart after each
clinch. In the light of what have
just said about the rules on clinching
and wrestling. all such talk is mere
tommyrot.
In the first place the rules do not
permit the men to clinch or wrestle at
all, but declare that, on the contrary.
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-24

arms until each can push the other
away and strike out again. Indeed. II
is not a clinch in the ordinary sense of
the term.
The other I have termed "a fair
block" and it is entirely permissible
under the strictest Interpretation of the
Queensberry rules, for while one fight
er is holding the others arms he is do
ing 1t merely with his open hand, and
the one SO held or blocked, which is
more correctly speaking, Is quite at
liberty to draw his arms back and
punch as he sees fit. This is a block
pure and simple, and in Nd sense a
clinch.
But against these two are a great
number of foul" holds that fighters
constantly take advantage of. One of
the most common is that where both
boxers after countering missing take
hold of each other with their right
hands around the scuff of the neck and
thus hanging on punch numerically
with their left hands free. This is what
they mean when they agree to fight
with one hand free in the clinches. -
1t is absolutely unfair and under the
Queensberry rules cannot be INDUCED
in, no matter what the fighters NAV
agree between themselves.
Another common clinch which is con.
stantly allowed to go unpunished, and
which is a no less fragrant foul, Is the
one I have labeled "one man fouling.
otEer fighting fair" in which the op-
pcnent who is getting worsted clasps
the other around the neck and hangs
on to save himself. The man who has
thus been clasped around the neck is
quite right in banging away with his
free fists, but 1t Is a strange and COM
mon circumstance that the crowd will
invariably cry foul at him for hit
ting in the clinches. Under the Queens
berry rules, as I have repeated. there
can be no clinches and 1t Is his duty
to himself to keep on punching while
his arms are free.
Another common violation of the
rules, and one that should be checked
more particularly than any other. Is
what is called giving the elbow" This
is absolutely unfair and very wearing
upon the man who receives the elbow.
and has decided more than one fight
in favor of the man using his elbow.
when in reality he should have been
instantly disqualified for such tactics.
Then there is the choke hold" Sc
cured while shifty opponent is duck
ing out OF harms way, but this is q

they must keep on punching from the
beginning to the end of the round.
Both hands must be free all the time.
If, when they do come to clinch, as
is sometimes unavoidable, as / will ex-
plain later. the referee should not be
compelled to force them apart by main
strength or to come between them in
any way from either side; they should
break at his simple word.
Indeed, in London and England gen.
orally the referee rarely ever enters
the ring at all, but takes UP his po-
sition outside and there passes judg-,
ment and issues his warnings. This
is eminently proper and quite as II
should be if the Queensberry rules were
carefully and honestly observed by
fighters generally. But what a sensa-
ton such referee would create here!
And what howl there would be II
such referee were to strictly enforce
the Queensberry rules under which our
fighters so glibly agree to fight with
one hand free or to "hit in the
clinches," and award the fight against
the man who committed such a foul!
Nevertheless, if such decisions were
made with more frequency the sport
would become cleaner and better, If
perhaps not so enjoyable to the great
mass of ring followers who must have
CORY fight and a knockout before
they are satisfied that they have re-
ceived their moneys worth.
There are clinches in the ring, many
of them of different sorts, that are
quite unavoidable, but how often do we
read in the accounts published in the
papers the morning after any of our
big fights that one or the other boxer
repeatedly rushed into a clinch and
hung on to save himself? If the ref
cree enforced the Queensberry rules
the fighter who rushed into clinch
and hung on to save himself" would
have lost the fight by that very action.
On this page L have illustrated the
various forms of clinches most COM
monty and regularly indulged in with
out protest from either referee or the
sporting public until they have come to
be accepted as quite permissible. And
yet out of all this array there are only
two that may be considered fair under
the Queensberry rules. The first have
called fair" clinch to differentiate
1t from all the rest, because it is one
of the unavoidable sort, in which both
fighters have come together after both
have led and missed, and is but little
more than a momentary locking of
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-24

form of fouling that the crowd is quick
to disapprove OF, because 1t savors Of
the rough and tumble order, but an
other hold which is just as bad and
far more dangerous is the one / have
labeled "the clinch after your oppo-
nent misses" in which with his left
arm up over your shoulder you hold
his right to his side with your left
while you punch him in the ribs with
the right In England any fighter re-
sorting to this trick would be instantly
disqualified, but in America 1t is a foul
that creates no passing comment.
Two other forms of the same clinch
which happen with great frequency
when both fighters have become weary
are gripping opponent around the
waist" and the meek and waist hold"
in which both are clinching. In these
two positions both fighters are often
seen wrestling each other around the
ring, with the referee using his ut
most strength to force the men apart.
And yet they are supposed to be fight
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-24

ing under Queensberry rules. II In
such an event the referee would
promptly disqualify both fighters there
would soon be less Of this form OF
clinching and more clean hitting.
Two other fouls that are regularly
passed without even reprimand are
those I have shown under the title a
"clinch after a cross counter and
holding opponents arm" after he had
swung his right at the ribs. Neither
Of these should be permitted, and yet
they are under the fighters agreement
to hit with one hand free"
Likewise there are many sport fol-
lowers who do not know when a fighter
is down. For their benefit it might
be stated that he is down when he has
one hand and one knee or both knees
on the floor, and at such times his
opponent should retire to his corner in
stead of standing over him, waiting for
him to get up. But. on the other hand.
fighter is up when he raises both
knees, even though his hands are stin
on the floor and his opponent is at
liberty to strike him then, but not be-
fore.
IF all the Queensberry rules were
strictly enforced and as strictly OBJ
served the sport in America would be
better and cleaner

TO TRY HIM
Callahan Must Answer to
 Military Court

While the crime that has been laid at the door of Private W. A. Callahan, who was brought from Whitehorse yes terday by Lieut.. Bennett, is an offense against both the civil and military law, he will be first tried by court martial, though he may also be indicted by the grand jury that will convene at Juneau next month. The custom where a man is equally amendable to the mil tary and civil authorities, is to permit those who have possession of the pris- oner to try him first,
 The case of Callahan is one where a man can be tried twice for the same iOf- fense. II the court martial should try him and convict him, the civil autho- rites could try him for the sime of feu,e, after he had served sentence in the military prison
 Before Callahan can be tried, new court martial will have to be formed at Skagway, or additional officers detailed to the court martial that was previous ly summoned at this city. At the pres eut time there is not a quorum Of the court in the city. A court martial can not consist of fewer than five officers, and there may be l3. Inasmuch as a prisoner has the right to challenge any number of the count, for cause, mol e than a quorum is usually detailed for a court martial, In all probability off, cers will be sent to Skagway to serve as members of a court within short time.
