CORR THINKS Referee
SHOULD BE IN THE RING

controversy as to whether the ref
eree's position should be in or outside
the ring is just now agitating English
boxing circles. The question is only
part of a movement aimed at some
widespreading reforms. An effort is
being made to promulgate an interna-
tional scale of weights that will be rec
ognized in all countries where boxing
is held.
The leading authorities on boxing
have given their views for publication.
All are in unison regarding the uniform
rate scale, but differ on the referee
problem. Some decide that the referee
is a nuisance in the ring, obstructing
the view of the spectators and getting
in the way of the boxers. Those tax
ing the opposite side point out that
when the referee is outside the ropes
he is unable to see a foul blow struck
if the recipient happens to have his
back turned on him. v
Eugene Corri who is recognized as
England's leading referee, favors the
American system of refereeing. Gill
bert Elliott, chairman of the National
Sporting club of London. takes the
opposite point of view. Victor Brayer,
the French promoter, when asked to
give his opinion said he favored the
plan of having three judges outside the

master inside to see that the men box

WHAT DO YOU DO

Strange Pleas Made BY Readers
of a Periodical Protesting

There was once a man who edited

The editor labored long in trying to
make his publication supply the neces-

homes of readers who would read
nothing but this periodical upon that

The editor discovered that certain
worldly men were pointing the derisive
finger at his paper and calling it a
blanket" on account of its large size.
Thinking that ne would please his pa
irons. he cut down the size to make it
looh more like a modern magazine.
Then his trouble started. Letters
arrived protesting against the change
one being from a woman, and 1t con-
tanned a plaintive protest that the pa
per be returned to its former size, for
