INH There is one rule in the Queens
bury code that few boxers ever
live I'D to, and that is in regard TO
where an opponent is knocked down.
The rule states very plainly that IN the
event OF one boxed being knocked
down, the other shall retire to his cor
ner and II the knoclldown happens to
occur IN said boxers corner, then he
shall retire to 2 neutral corner. But
in most cases the boxer who has scored
the l1nOc6down tries to stand over his
opponent: or directly behind the ref
cree who is counting, In order to gain
an advantage the moment the man on
the mat rises. This very thing hap
pened in one Of the preliminary bouts
at Hudson, Wis, last week, where the
Pal BrOwn-J Ohnny Tillman contest was
held The bout in question was be-
tween two WelterWeightS and one OF
them scored a clean knOckdown- The
referee had TO push the man away so
that he was better able to count over
the fallen man.
In the excitement the referee. who
knew better, forgot to send the man
to his corner This same thing hap

story upon the bones OF monsters that had been

describe living monsters that had been de-
