Should the referee be absolute IN author

or should he have assistance In the shape
of medical or judicial advice? This is a
question discussed In sporting circles last
week, as the result Of the verdict IN the
suilivan-Attsn battle at the West End
Club.
According to an agreement made be-
tween tho men before they entered the

In the vast majority Of cases. II can
safely be stated that flght-goers prefer
20 have one man absolutely In authority
over all points connected with g battle.
To most fght-lovers Of this country. the
idea OF referring a question to the 3udg-

Criticism of such an instance an

has been expended on the fact that Ref

that a referee should hand down one
