the British style of standing up
and boxing.
The boxing commission will re-
auire referees to enforce the rule,
and if The riug arbiters are
careless about doing il. their Ii
censes will be revoked, If the
boxers refuse TO obey the instruc-
tions of the referee they will be
disqualified forthwith.
In New York the clubs have
been pulling off bouts in fifteen

sist that all rings be at least
eighteen feet square. With more
room the number Of clinches is
sure to be reduced. and this In it
