And best of all. there is Louise her
self. who is replacing discomfort and
dreariness and unrest by contentment
and peace and serenity.
l remember years ago hearing very
fine unmarried woman of As or so say
az she looked at another woman's baby:
That is the hardest thing in my life
to me. l don't mind so much not being

II. A. A. GIVES IT'S SIDE.
Hammond, Ind. Apri


Editor TINES believe it is only
fair play that the II. A. A. be repre-
scented in this interesting discussion
about their stag last Thursday night.
THE TINES is correct when they re-
peat: The testimony of spectators"
who did not regard the exhibition as
prize fight. 1t is right in saying there
were two knock outs. such as they
were But this admission is not the
end Of the inquiry it is but the begin
ming 1t is a fact that may or may not
be blame worthy.
From the laws everywhere that per
NIT the sport knock out is looked
up possibility and we knew no law
that prohibits it, It is very constant
erning the sport recognize. in guard
ing against the evil effect but in no
case prohibiting the same.
First the law requires a padded foo-.
Second. when one of the boxers is
knocked down" which may at any
time prove to be knock out. the
other must Immediately retire to his
corner Tlsird, a count must be taken
when a contestant is knocked down.
This regulation. made for the purpose
of stopping a bout as son as man is
unfit, recognizes that in every knock
down there is the possibilities of ii
Knockout Now ii was this possibility
that the club officials failed to apprc-
ciate and this lead us to carelessness
in looking up the provisions of the
law We believe the police also failed
to recognize this possibility in trusting
the club to do the right thing had not
warned us of danger or called our at
tention to the regulations governing
the same. This was the fourth fully
advertised affair held and to which We
had invited the police
We insist we are not. to blame for
the two so-cailed knock outs. Lewis
assumed such a conjuring attitude
for just one moment that his knock
out and his objecting to being counted
out was the humorous feature of the
evening Those who represented him
gave us all sorts of assurance that he
could stand the limit
| There was nothing vicious in the
knock out OF Collins. Mona of us wers
afraid for him, but we were little
| afraid that such a match was not fail
to Eddie Wagner. The knock dowr
came ca rly and no one had an idea tina
the time to call it off had come. The
whole difficulty occurred over a hard
dispute between the back of his heat
and the floor, and here we realize,
| that we should have had a paded floor
We are glad we escaped anything moro
serious that an ordinary boxing con
test knock out.
