STATE COMMISSION
UpHOLDS CONTRACTS
Decision in Julian Pierce Case
Shows That Boxers Cannoi
Throw Them Aside.
OTHER TIMELY GOSSIP
~ CROSS COUNTER.

~ CHOSS SOUNhEns
There has always been one weak spot
in the commission control Of boxing II
this State. and that relates to contracts
between ger and boxer.
Clubs ave been held to strict account-
ability as to compensation for boxers.
ind the giovemen nave been compelled
to fulnl their engagements or suffer the
consequences.
But q manager could throw . boxer
overboards without 30 much as by your
leave" while q boxer has been able to
violate contracts with without
the slightest danger OF discipline.
This unfortunate condition Of affairs
was due to the attitude Of the original
commission on the subject. The mem-
hers Of that commission decided not to
take cognizance OF contracts between
managers and boxers. and applicants for
relief were referred to the courts. Tho
result has been that boxers skipped from
one n to another in n blithesome
manner, assured that there were plenty
Of other managers II the present one did
not suit.
Good for Boxing Game.
Bu. this has all been changed by the
chairman OF the present commission.
who In his ruling in the Julian-Pierce
case served notice on boxers that they
must live up to the terms OF valid con-
tracts and that contract jumping must
cease.
Nothing better calculated to elevate
the tandard Of boxing could have been
done. and the verdict in the case Of
Pierce should be a warning to other
boxers not to trine with contracts if
they desire TO keep busy in the ring.
1t should be evident to even the least
intelligent managers and boxers that
they can get relief from the commission
for any Injustice. as they have the same
right Of appeal as even The most power
ful promoter. Therefore 20 apply to the
courts TIL they have exhausted all ef-
forts before the commission is folly.
