BOXING LANGUAGE
KNOCKOUT is NOT RECOGNIZED
UNDER REVISED EDITION
OF RING RULES.

NEW YORK, Jan. s.-A London
letter says:
just new when there seems to be
a strong desire In America to reform
the prevailing rules of boxing IT Is IN
teresting to note the few notifications
that have been made in the National
sporting Club rules here which Will
60 into effect Immediately. Tha rules
of the National Sporting Club here
may be accepted AZ the law or The
land SO far as boxing goes. They
have been upheld by the courts while
all others have been declared unlaw-
fui, and what IL more to the point
they have been accepted by custom
as the dictum OF the duling authori-
ties
In the n. S. C. rules no recognition
of knockout is allowed for. The
rules state: III a contestant II down
he must get up unassisted within ten
seconds: his opponent meanwhile
and shall not resume boxing until
ordered To do so by the referee. A
mans ia te=-cansiarerdazdn
when he Ia on one or both feet II
at the same time any other part or
his body Ia touching the ground or
when In the act OF rising. con-
testant failing to continue the con-
test at the expiration OF ten sec
onds shall not awarded any marks
for the round. and the contest shall
then terminate. The referee shall
decide all contests in favor of the
contestant who obtains the greatest
number OF marks"
That is how the Knockout aues-
ton is handled. and technically
speaking under a strict Interpretation
OF the rules a fighter could be knock
ed out and still win. But this rule
is never literally observed. 1t seems
to have been merely Inserted to. etand
as 4 bulwark against the faddists who
wish to declare boxing to be brutal
and only another name for prize
fghting. Were It to be strictly ad-
hered to such remarkable surprises ~
Sammy Keily's knockout Of Billy
Piimmer In the last half minute OF
the twentieth round after Plimmer
was miles ahead on points would
! have been converted into victory
for the loser. Tho rule seems to
uteasa the antts. however. ana It II
/ on this clause thai the presumed
legality OF the whole rules rests.
The two great changes that have
| been effected in the rules have to do
| with clause 3. which now states that
| no contest shall exceed 16 rounds
except championships. which shall
| be limited TO 30 rounds" and with

SoutI,siders Disappointed.

yesterday in its number, Many
prognasticators were disappointed,
because they had figured that the to-
tai vote would reach 500. but the
thinking ones did not believe the vote
would reach that number. and they
We're accordingly glad to see that il
WAS of the proportion shown.
There was much disappointment
at the result. Many OF Moore g
friends were satisfied that the de-
sign of his opponents to defeat him
through the means OF another can
didate had succeeded and figured that
If the Southside vote had conferred on
one man the result might have been
different
IF Moore had received the T47
votes cast FOR Paul. he would mighty
near have won said a Moore ad-
mirer.
Moore received on the Southside BAT
votes to .Paul's 314.
This thing of running two men
is what spoiled the whole thing" said
another Southsider
