POINTS CONSIDERED IN BOXING.


The decision Of Referee Billy Roche
In the recent Britt-Nelson fight, while
not severely criticized by majority
OF tight fans, has nevertheless raised
this question, "Whay are points in box
ing?"
II has been frequently asked by Nell
sons Salt Lake friends. because Roche
gave the long end Of the purse to the
NATIVE son" on points
Those who have made a study of the
sport unhesitatingly allow full point
for the man who does the leading and
lands the blow, and a half point to his
opponent II the latter Is clever enough
TO counter and reach the intended
mark, This disparity Of credit to the
man who counters Is explained by the
fact that the man IN boxing who leads
takes all the chance lie usually throws
his vulnerable spots open to an oppo-
nent and does so to force the contest.
Why should he not be given doubt Gre
dit And why should not the man who
r. wary to set the pace be penalized for
his temerity Americans like plenty OF
action. That is the reason the Marquis
OF Queensberry rules were so quickly
adopted IN this country. They put a
premium on speed and generalship, and
contests thus fought suit the tastes OF
the average ring follower.

Parrylng and blocking vicious leads,

all legitimate evaslve tactics, and
should be given credit for I'm the nnal
summary OF points gained by contest
ants IN the ring. The man, however,
who "tn cans" to use the ring Vernac-

ed when a referee Is fitting his minds

neither a legitimate nor plucky way OF
avoiding an opponent not under the
Marquis OF Queensberry at least II
did very well and was countenanced
under the old London prize ring rules,
when trickery and dishonest mo-
tlves and acts were always applauded.
The ring has been elevated since those
days, and the devotees of the sport have
no time or use for the "tln-can boxer

round he would have had no difficulty
