BOXING DEPENDS ON
ABILITY OF REFEREE
Bout Should Be Stopped When
Man Is 0utcIaSSed and
Beaten.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE life OF
the boxing game i'm this country depend
on the referee, according TO Bob Farrell.
a former lightweight boxer. He Is quot
ed with the opinion that the third man 10
the ring is of more Importance to the
future of the sport than the sort of boxers
bred throughout the country during the
coming years. A condition which Farrell
believes will hurt boxing is the lack OF
physical and medical knowledge possessed
by the average manager and handler OF
boxers.
A referee can tell in three rounds
whether man is getting more punislls
ment than his condition renders safe
says Farrell. and half the fatalities in
boxing clubs could be aVerted If COM
petent and responsible referees were en-
ployed.
The trouble is that most OF the MEM
bers of the average boxing. club want to
see blood and a sensational finish As a
business proposition il takes a strong
minded referee to stop bout before one
man has won decisiyely if the boxers are
poorly matched. Ii the referee is an Old

excuse for referee to let a defeated man

send the men to their corners and hold I'm
the hand of the winner. The club MEM
bers may be dissatisfied if the beating is
not spectacular, but IL will save the
game
Farrell also thinks that average man.
ayers and seconds lack the knowledge to
handle their men.
Il have seen man fall back and be
counted out and then watched his sec
onds rush into the ring and apply ice

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
DUCKPIN LEAGUE
STANDING OF TEAMS.

The race for honors in the Southern
Railway Duckpin League is becoming
closer with each set. Ten days ago
Claim had lost only two games and was
conceded by many as the coming cham
pions. but the last three sets was dis
astrous to its standing and the aspir-
ing Managers are tied with 1t for the
first position. The Auditors rolled three
sets during the week, taking four of the
nine games rolled. They lost two to the
Paymasters, but showed marked reversal
of form and took two from Claim. The
MANAGERS also took two. and Capt.
Bruce's team dropped into second divi-
sion.
Law and Tie and Timber had a battle
royal during their set last week, Law
losing the first two games by a few pins.
In the second game Goldberg rolled lib
and brought his team within two pins OF
it's opponents. In the final game F. Hurd
rolled q III game and the Law team was
trimmed thirty-tive pins.
The REPRESENTATIONS set resulted
in a two-game victory for the former.
The last game was won by the Auditors
by two pins, and then only when capt.
Bruce came across with spare was the
game won. Capt. Bruce also rolled a SOB
set against Clalm-l1U. 81 and lO2. In this
same set L. A. Smith rolled lis game,
but this good piece of work was marred
by a previous 20 game.
The Managers broke their previous set
record Friday when they rolled 527
game. Fegan with 100 and Downey with
lc3 were the star rollers. The Auditors
took the first game when the Managers
rolled a weak set%21.

sided the contest was spirited during the
first half. which ended with the score
tied, 8 to S.
During this period Gallaudet had play

better teamwork and more accurate
shooting for the baskets.
The visitors drew first blood when
Rockwell tailed difficult goal from be-

entably weak in shooting, but came back
with a rush in the second half. During
this period Wilson started things OF

physical condition, was too much for their

Burns Making Good Money.

Last week I suggested in this column
that it was about time something definite
was heard about that ong-ta lked-of
Burns-Langford quarrel. Since then l
have read a dispatch from the northwest
that Tommy has announced his retire
ment from the ring. This news does not
surprise me much. as Burns is thought TO
be in pretty sweet" in business way
out in that locality and is said to be do
ing SO we'll that he cannot afford to ne
glect his interests long enough to under
take a long course of training.
Burns claims to have discovered a prom
Using heavyweight and has agreed to taxi
charge of the youngsters career in the
prize ring. The boys name is Jack Les
ter and he weighs at the present time
about 100 pounds. If Tom g7ts hack into
active work in handling and training his
prctege 1t likely will mean the eX-cham-
pion's return to the game. as once the
old boys get the gloves on even in prac-
tice the desire to come back" gets the
upper hand. ] know
At anv rate Tommy deserves credit for
what he already has ACCOMPLISHED in his
profession, and if he can deve'oD this
newcomer. Lester, into a good man he
will be doing the sport-lOvin@ public an
immense favor From the material that
Ryan, ChOvnSki Burns and I are work

boxer who will have the proper stuff in
him and who will not be afraid to chaI-
lenge the champion of the world.
Abe Attell Is Too Liberal.
Packy Mcfarland and Abe Attell have
been matched for a ten-round bout to
take place in New York Friday night.
Packey is allowed to weigh in at 135 at
O'Clock on the day Of the contest, which
means that he will enter the ring a full
fied"ed welterweight. AS Attelrs best
fiehting weight is in the nei"hborhood
Of 124. the featherweight champion will
be givinr ron away. With a dub this
might not hinder Abe any. but in the case
Of a good boy like Mcfarland II would
appear that At'e'l was biting off too large
a chunk. There are some nasty rumors
concerning the bout and the arrange-
ments but I know -Attell has all the con-
fidence in the word that he can heat the
Chicaro boy. I think the handicap is
too great for even such marve' as the
little Hebrew. and if everything is on the
"up and up / look for Mac to trim the
champion.
Jack Twin Sullivan added another
feather to his cap when he stopped that
hure Joke, Jim Stewart, in four rounds
recently. AS Twin can make 15S
pounds, he Gains. and Stewart is about
the size of Johnson. one can easily i'm
aeine the task Sullivan had on his hands
He did a nice job of it and Stewart must
be put in the dub class. The excuse this
time was a sprained ankle. That's as
rood as any other. Twin next match
will be with his old-time rival, Hugo
Kelly.
