THICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. Per
haps the loss Of interest in
the boxing game, now so no
ticeable in New York contests, may
be traced to the no. decision system
that prevails there.
The system gives the fighters
plenty of leeway. There is little
chance for a dent in regulations if
a man can stick the ten rounds and
there is a good chance that
friendly critic or two might be
induced to give him an even
break, thus enhancing his chances
of getting other bouts.
There is a false ring about the
whole thing that isn't pleasing.
In bouts where decisions are Civ
en- it is an absolute certainty that
the fighters will do their level best.
knowing that the contest is to go
to a referees decision. the fans
naturally viii feel more concern

than they would In a contest in
which they feel that one man could
stall pretty much all the way
through without seriously hurting
his reputation.

Tesreau---That's Why Giants
Have a Look-in, Says Tinker

that to any extent is by hitting the
ball. My opinion OF the Boston
pitching STAFF, gained from reading
and from hearing ball players talk,
is that the men are mighty effect
i've and not likely to allow many of
of the opposing team TO get on.
That is the reason that | place 50
much emphasis on Tesreau Be
cause If the Boston pitchers hold
ami keep the Giants off the bases
it naturally follows that the New
York twirlers also must be good
ana Keep the Boston men off the
pathy. And Tesrcau is the man to
do il if it can be done
resrcau may emerge a hero and

like the big hope.

heady pitching, may be a big as

long time.
But the New York fans seem to
be tired or something else is wrong
with the whole situation.
It's fact, however, that the box
ing game, in common with many
other sports, needs to be rested up
for time. The promoters there
have been running 1t summer and
winter, and it is small wonder
that even the most attractive Of

pearanCe of the season against Jack
Denning in New York the other

well against his seasoned opponent

1t looks very much as if Papke
is the only one of the middle
weights who will be given a coun-
try wide chance against Eddie Nc
Goorty now in the race for the
middleweight title. And as Papke
intends to go to Paris in a short
time under the management once
more of Al Lippe, there is but a
slim chance of seeing these two
good fighters together
