KILL FIGHT GAME
IN CALIFORNIA

(By Hal Sheridan, written for the
United Press.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 5-Killing the
fight game in California may be fine
for civilization, but it will be pretty
tough on the fight game experts and
the real champions. When the last
twenty-round battle is fought on the
coast, it will mean that there will be
left only one place in the United
States where that length fight can be
pulled off-New Orleans.
This will mean that there will be
vastly more championship battles
OF ten rounds length pulled off than
ever before. In ten round fight, the
best title-holder that ever lived stands
more show of losing his title than in
a longer affray. Ter round fights
very seldom end via the sleep route.
and everyone knows how lightly de
eisions are hurled about after bat
tie, in which neither side wins de-
cisively.
IT doesn t take professor in ap-
piled mathematics nor a man with
Sherlock Holmes sense in the science
of deduction to figure that under such
condition, the woods, prairies and
cities will be full of champs, near
champs and cheese-champs, claiming
all the titles in this world and the
next. IF fight managers remain un-
changed. and at present writing there
seems absolutely no hope for the bet
ter along this line. they will lay claim
to title even if only one fight ex-
pert out of dozen says after a
scrap. that would have received de-
eision had a decision been made.
We hesitate to make any sugges-
tions regarding possible WAYS in
which to settle the terrific baseball

ing and suggest, we say that if the
National League really outted Mur-
ply, the American League Big Bill

ought to be even up and time to shake
