disqualification was not as prompt as
we are given to understand. The prin-
cfpal fault, however, which was found
with the English system was in the
counting of the seconds when a man
would be knocked down. The counting
was done from outside the ring, and if
a man was partially dazed, as most
boxers are when dropped from punch
on the jaw, they are not able to realize
that the counting is being done, and
thew are counted out before they are
aware of it. Several important con-
tests. it is claimed, have been lost
through the counting being done in
that way. 1t is asserted, and not with
out some foundation, that if boxer,
when he is knocked down, sees a man
standing over him counting and can
hear the count, he will know that his
time is short. and that it is up to him
to get on his feet at the count of ten.
instead of lying on the floor, and that
if a boxer has the right stuff in him
and wants to win, he will make an
effort to pull himself together and get
on his feet.
The suggestion is made by the box
ing editor of the Mirror of Life, Lon
don sporting paper, that it would be
good idea to have two men to officiate
at boxing matches, one to stand in the
ring to break the boxers away when
thew are clinched and count off the
seconds when the boxer is down, and
not to keep tab on the work of the
boxer in order to make a decision, as Is
done nowadays. This writer claims
that in long contest, say of twenty
or twenty-five rounds it is impossible
for a referee to do this work and keep
track of the blows struck, etc, during
the progress of a contest. This latter
work. the Mirror of Life suggests,
should be done by second man out
side the ring, who would have nothing
else to do. and could, therefore, devote
his entire attention to keeping posted
on the progress of the fight, and thus
be enabled to render fair decision as
to who is the winner at the end of the
battle. if the contest is in any way
doubtful one.

THE REALM
OF SPORT
Growth OF "Socker"= =
The American Box.
ing Referee.

There are more accidents in football
now than there used to be, one reason
being that there are many more per-
sons playing it. The accident list, how
ever, seems to become greater in pro-
portion than the increase in partici-
pants. IF the football rules are bad
they should be changed says Coach
Reid, of Harvard, but while they re-
main in force they must be lived up
to. Let US play the game savagely
and fiercely, but Clearly" 1t may be
added that if the rules, faulty though
they may be, were lived up to strict
ly. there would be less fault to find.
GROWTH OF .sOCKER"
The advancing strength of associa-
ton football in American college is
shown by the fact that this season will
see the formation of an inter-collegi-
ate league which will play for cham
pionship trophy cup offered by Column
bia. Harvard, Cornell, Haverford,
Pennsylvania and Columbia doubtless
will be the members of the league as
it starts. In all these colleges teams
have been in existence for year or
more; in the case Of Haverford and
Harvard much longer. 1t is likely that
for next season at least the cham
pfonshfp games will be played in the
spring time, although the general
preference among the players them
selves is to start in in the fall and keep
going right along up to the following
spring. The desire not to interfere
with the regular college game of foot
ball has caused the playing of the
English game in the spring hitherto.
From all appearances either Haver-
ford or Harvard should be the winner
of the cup the first year. These two
colleges having had teams for several
years naturally benefit by the pres
tige. Columbia, although it has sew
eral excellent players and good mate
rial. does not expect to do very much
this second season. Last year Column
Dld was SHuI OUT TO " Dy f1dFFdEu
in game played at Cambridge. Har-
ward was victorious pretty generally
throughout the year.
The cup that is to be played for is a
challenge trophy, and although the
terms have not been definitely settled
it is likely that it will have to be won
three times by any one college before
it becomes the definite property of that
institution.
LIKE AMERICAN REFEREEING.
Over in England they have been try
ing the American system of refereeing
boxing matches, and they appear to like
the plan. Formerly it was the custom
in that country to have the referee sit
outside the ring and give all his orders
to the boxers from his chair. The men.

FIREMEN
WANT HIGHER WAGES
Reported to be After 20 Per Cent
Increase After janu-
airy /.

PITTSBURG, Dec. GA COM
mittee of the Locomotive Firemen's
Association, consisting of the firemen
in active duty on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, have asked for a
hearing before General Manager At
terbury. 1t is understood hat no
meeting can be had until after the
beginning of the New Year.
The firemen are after more wages.
1t is rumored that they seek to Sc
cure an advance of 20 per cent, but
it is not likely that any such an in
crease will be given.
The cutting off of passes is also
attracting considerable attention
among the employees, and if the re-
ports are true that no more passes
will be issued to the wives of locomo-
tive engineers, firemen and other
employees in the transportation de-
partment, there will be a general de-
mand for higher wages.
