where a round was not concluded un-
til one of the principals was knocked
down Much wrestling was also
brought into play. 1t was to do away
with this sort of thing that the mod
ern glove contest was substituted.
The fact is that whenever a con-
test is scheduled the average sporting
writer and the average fight promoter
refer to the contest as fight. It's
this confusion of terms that has
caused so much legislation against
the sport. Many a legislator has
voted against the boxing game and
yet never in his life attended a con-
test. Simply because Mrs. Mary
Busybody calls on the legislators
wife and tells her what a horrible
man he is, why, the poor weakened
boob voted against the bill. You
never see the leaders or the strong
men of legislature against the box
ing game.
The trouble with the average law
maker is that he does not himself un-
derstand anything regarding a boxing
contest. He somehow or other allows
himself to be influenced by some half
fed reformer seeking notoriety, or
begrudging other people who seem to
be more prosperous than he is. Box
ing is great sport and will never
fade out. Who was the fellow that
said it takes all kinds of people to
make a world? If it did not, and if
the reformer was not a necessary
evil, then surely there would be en-
tirely too much happiness in this lit
tie old world of ours.
Yours truly,
BRUD SHAMROCK,
Lightweight Champion of the North

The Boxing Game From the Inside

The Boxing Game From the Inside,
We will soon learn the fate Of the
boxing game in Nevada. The judge
before. whom the case has been taken
has given few days in which to rem
der a decision. 1t is almost certain
that the verdict will be in favor Of
the boxing game.
Reno has some wide-awake, pro-
gressive people who favor this siren
uous sport and have gone on record
as saying so. Unless the judge be-
fore whom the trial is taking place is
one of those weakened, narrow
minded individuals the promoter will
gain the verdict.
The trouble seems to be that so
many people confuse the modern day
boxing game with the old prize fights.
A prize fight was where the battle
was fought with bare knuckles and

was the organizer and foreman. Sue

more social affairs than the volunteer

the political feeling at times that 1t
was related that when Chief of Engi-
