Little as he had hurt Tommy. Indifferent
as Sullivan was to the punishment he re-

on iabs alone that points could be scored
in the battle.
Both AttelI and Sullivan had all their

1T Is not natural that any Of us should

Upton LOOKING
FOR NEW DESIGNER

There Is lots OF talk among yachtsmen
about the coming challenge OF Sir Thomas
Upton for another race for the Americas
Cup. Sir Thomas is still looking for a
designer. but he is using all the influence
he can bring to bear. and 1t IS expected
that In a very few days he will announce
that all the arrangements have been sat
Isfactor!ly made. and then the challenge
will come in due course.
It Is generally understood that the New
York Yacht Club thinks it has had enough
Of Upton. and it would welcome q chal-
lenge from some other British yachtsman,
issued by a club.
II J. p. Coats should challenge and ask
for a race under the new rules. a match
would be arranged. Mr.. Coats Is willing
to try and win the cup. and George L.
Watson IS willing to design a boat for
him. but Mr.. Goats will not do anything
as long as Sir Thomas Upton wants to
race.
It seems to be the opinion OF all that the
challenge will be for a race under the old
rules. Sir Thomas will not risk having
his request for a race under the new rules
declined by the New York Yacht Club.
That club is not at all enthusiastic over

The Columbian Athletic Club pulled of

writer's opinion. Dunn had the better of

which ended the battle.
One thing is clear. from these frequent
claims Of low blows: That fighters should
wear some protection for the regions
around the groin. The writer suggested 20

each boy wear such protection In the form

rules OF the ring-for should the referee
see i man hit low he could always dis
qualify the offender. just as though the
injured man wore no protection IN his
battle.
Atteil told the writer that he would not
wear such It device for fear that il might
interfere with his foot work II might DE
that Il boxers speed would he lessGned by
such Il contrivance. Yet one Of the fast
est battles the writer ever saw was fought
by Joe Bernstein and Tommy White at
the old West End Club-and both men
we're harnessed in such affairs.
Some such protection for men should be
devised. as It would prevent any unpleas-
ant bitches In ring battles. Ii may yet be
that clubs will require such q precaution
before men enter the ring. just as they
now require physical examination of con-
teStants.
