BOXING DIFFERS

Tendency to Think DISSEMINATION
"QuibbIing" Poorly Founded

When Referee Eyton of Los Angeles
testified at Los Angeles that a prize

bad as a bull fight, a great many per-
sons laughed i'm their sleeves and con-
victed E,yton of telling "A robust lie fo.
the good of the game" of which he is
one Of the western pillars.
But Eyton did not have to tell a
whOpper when he SO defined prize
fighting" or to stretch his imagination
when he added that a 20-round boxing
match was an entirely different propo-
sitiCn.
There is a tendency To think any dis
| elimination between boxing ana
