PURSE IS OFFERED

Bv THOMAS S. RICE.

pute, We will hang up purse OF S25,Voo-
count 'em-for a figh to a finish be
tween title holders in each class, or, as
sop TO the reformers. we will agree
TO have it limited to foTty-five rounds,
with skin-tight or four-Ounce gloves.
If we are to handle the affair il must
be under club rules, which allow hitting
in CIinches as long as one arm is free,
then the men to break at the order of
the referee. but protect themselves at
all times As boxing seems barred any
where else in the District of Columbia
except in the Capitol the contention
must be settled there. In order to pro-
tect the boxers we agree to see that
the floor and the posts are well padded,
which will eliminate The danger Of a
fractured skull and possible paralysis
OF the vocal chords. This may not meet
with the approval of some, but we must
look after the larger interests Of fsti-
ana, and will not undertake TO engineer
the fight unless the padded ring is
fea ture.
No Clap In or Clap Gut.
Don't think because we insist upon
this humanitarian measure that 1t IS 10
be A parlor game of clap in and clap
out, or something of that sort, for We
will not deliver the purse unless the
public gets a run for its money and
there is plenty of honest effort to slip
over a sleep punch. The size of the
ring we leave TO those who viii don the
r1ftts. but suggest 10 or Is foot, which
insures plenty of toe-tO-toe work and

Nothing hurts pugilism more than I'M
prOmptu smuggling between scrappers
much in the public eye. As bong as
they confne their operations TO tax,
the copy readers can referee it with r.
pencil and protect the manly art, but
when they mix it up in public places II
starts all the refOTmers to WagSinS
their tongues and trying TO butt into
print by denouncing an ancient ana
honorable institution.
For these reasons we greatly deplore
the unringy and unprofessional conduct
of the two shining lights who mussed
up each other in the halls of the Capt.
toI Yesterday. They have caused a
fiood Of talk and the championship IS
not vet decided. There may arise sus-
piclons that it was like one of those
Philadelphia six-round affairs, where
both parties agree to go along easy for
the prescribed route and let the sport
ing editors call it draw. Such spar
ring matches peeve the public and hurt
the receipts
Umbrellas Barred.
Again this free-for-all, rough-and-
tumble stuff leads TO gouging, biting,
and backEeeling in which one may be
permanently disabled and the otter
pinched. That is always a coed excuse
for a mass meeting of the advanced
thinkers, who would rather see Anleri-
cans accustomed TO carry a knife or a
gun to protect themselves than to use
the effective but usually nonfatal weap-
ons which nature provides. Umbrellas
are barred under the Queensberry code,
which is well, for the bOmbazinesmight
be broken on a rainy day, the owner
thereof go forth in the dowppour, catch
his death Of cold, croak. and give the
reforuers another chance to cry aloud.
We never did like no-decision bouts
anyhow, and for two scrsppers to min
gle in strife without Pat O'Connor or
some other equally good judge on the
job TO name the winner means a gale
of hot air from both sides, with chal-
lenges, counter challenges, disagree
ments about the weight, hour of step
ping on the scales, kind of banda ges,
size of gloves. etc. The sporting ed
itor's life is not as much of a continual
round of pleasure as some folk think.
