would imagine that the rendering

fanciful innovation. with the illogical
howl and weak arguments advanced BY
some people against fair boxing YER
diets by competent referees
AS a matter OF fact, decisions in all
combats are as old as the hills. They
were given 1000 years ago or more by
some authorized persons in Greece ana

tematfc boxing. decisions were always
part OF the game. And that's almost
200 years ago GT19)- So you see it's
no new experiment TO have decided
fistic mills. either in limited or in fin
ished combats-
Decisions Under Old Law.
During the days OF the old Horton
boxing Law there was more reaI, Breal,
spirited fighting in one month than
there has been in one year since that
period Some OF the referees at that
time may have given some blundertng
or unfair DECISIONS Intentionally Ut
otherwise. but the great majority OF
their verdicts were very satisfactory,
honest and expert. indeed
We all know it's only human to err.
and we can never expect to have every
referee appear absolutely infallible-
None OF US is positively error-proof,
not even the judges Of the highest
courts. who often have their decisions
reversed. time and time again on ap-
peals.
More Honest Boxing.
I'm inclined to acknowledge that
there was more real. earnest. honest
boxing in England, France before the
war; and Australia. where competent
referee decisions are permitted, than
We have in this state At least. In those
countries they would not stand for the
raw. staliinE matches that have been
performed within the ropes In this part
OF the world. under the very noses or
the boxing commission, for the past
four years.
Fakirs from all parts Of the world
have made boxing only a farce and

ment and discretion in all contests.
Men who are not only capable, but
those who have the courage Of their

States That Allow Decisions
In a somewhat hurried glance over
the pugilistic map Of the United states,
1 find quite a few spots where de-
cisions in fistic bouts are legally al
lowed Places where everything runs
smoothly in the old sport without any
squabbles or riots over boxing YER
diets.
II they are so satisfactory and sue

they be in force in this and some other
states Under the boxing law OF Mass

cisions are permitted throughout the

selects and sends over TO New York

at important comhats. on numerous oc-
casions. II these ring officials are
competent and worthy enough to rend-
