NEW YORK. June New York's
boxing promoters-at least the pro-
gressive ones-are seriously consider
ing the suggestion recently made that
a national governing body be selected
to control the fistic game. Plans
are under way for meeting to be
held here next fall at which the or
ganization Of such a body will be per
fected. Representatives from every
State in which boxing Is regulated by
State laws are expected to attend.
Thomas s. Andrews. boxing writer
and promoter of Milwaukee. Wis, Is
responsible for the suggestion. An
drews has been associated with the
fight game for several years, and has
done much TO elevate II TO a higher
plane He belieevs that with a ma
tional governing body that would
regulate the game, boxing would Oe
permitted in many more States than
l. is now.
One thing the commission would
settle first would be a scale of weights
for the different championships. Al
present weights for the different titles
are shifted up and down to suit the
pleasure of whoever happens to hold
the championship at the time. Under
a national commission this would be
done away with. The lightweight
championship, for instance. would
have TO be decided at 1873 pounds. Re-
Gently II has been set at 1876 pounds.
Uniform rules to govern boxing all
over the country would be adopted
also. AT present various kind of rules
govern the game. In many western
States boxers are permitted to hit

New York Boxers Favor
Control of The Game There

in the breakaways. In New York
and several other states where boxing
is regulated by the laws, the boxers
have TO break clean" They are
not allowed to hit when stepping out
of a clinch.
A national body could also govern
championships. No fighter would be
permitted to hold championship in
definitely without defending IT, At
present q champion can hold his title
forever without risking IL in a bout
to q decision If he cares to do so.
Avaricious managers have also been
thorn in promoters sides for a
! long time. A national governing body
could in a large measure do away
with this evil. Exorbitant demands
by boxers could be regulated.
