NEW Plan PLEASES
THE RINCSIDE FANS
Boxing Spectators Are Anx-
iouS TO Have Decision
Bouts in New York
THEY WILL HELP
THE OLD GAME

Fred Wenck's plan to bring about
decision bouts in the New York State
has struck a responsive chord in the
bosoms of the majority Of the fight
fans. The public. bunked so long and
so often by the no-decision fights,
yearns for the day that will bring de-
cision bouts; the time when fighters
really will fight again.
Some few persons are opposing the
radical reform which the chairman oil
the State boxing commission wants 10
bring about But an analysis Of the
protest shows that the bulk OF them
come from managers Of fighters, who
naturally, would suffer a decrease in
revenue il decision bouts were per-
mitted.
THE fight game has come upon eVil
days since no-decision bouts nave
been the rule" declares Wenck.
champions and near-champions have
made a farce Of fighting in New YORK
State during the last few years by
their stalling tactics Boxing bouts
have degcnerated into little more
than hugging matches.
"This is due almost entirely TO the
fact that no decisions are rendered. In
New York State now champion can

New York, March I6.-There was

when I rolled out of bed shortly after
s O'Clock in the morning for the
storm OF the past few days had passed
That meant that could start eff on
my seventeenth day without being
held In restraint by the weather.
All hands were up as early as 1,
and before seven we donned heavy
clothing and were out for jaunt.
The cold air acted as tonic. We
did not dare to break out into jog
for the streets and roads We're too
treacherous to take the slightest
chance. Instead we took good long
walk and about 8 O'Clock came back
to the hotel
Though we were eager to rush to
the dining room. that treat had TO be
held back until went through lit
tie work In my room. As soon as l
stripped off the road clothes. / donned
a. gym suit and went through the
bending down. pulley and shadow
sparring exercises for fifteen minutes.
Then the boys gave me corking
rub down, and / Topped into the
bath AS soon as ] could slip into
regular clothes headed the mob and
we charged the dining room In
solid phalanx.
The meal over, I lounged around
the lobby for nearly an hour. All
hands then retired to our quarters
and for over an hour we went through
the program of practicing the blows
intend to use in my coming en-
counter.
without disclosing any secret, /
will say that my right uppercut. which
is one of my best wallops. is working
very well and will surely give good
account of itself week from Satur-
day.

Baseball, Basketball Bowling, Boxing, Rowing, Ra

Members of the Paramount Athletic
Association quint are this morning the
new basketball champions of Rich
mond. For the second time this week
the East End basketers emerged VIC
torious last night over the McGill Cath
Ollie Union Ave, winning out over the
Grace Streeters by score of As to 10.
This is the first season an East End
team has ever won local basketball
championship, and incidentally the fir3t
wear the iaurels have not sraced the
brows of the Richmond Howitzer bas-
ketbaliists.
The game last night was one OF the
toughest ever witnessed in Richmond
However, this was due in very largo
measure to the intense rivalry that
existed between the two outfits
football game could not have been
much rougher than the basketball ex-
hihition, and, although there was no
tackling, some of the men ran beauti-
tul interference and frequently players
were seen rising from the floor. There
was no blood shed, but from the way
some of the men hit the floor they
are nursing bumps on their heads as
large as pigeon eggs.
The first half was a basketball game
"a fast, furious and pretty exhibition
of the favorite winter pastime. 1t was
in the second half that the teams re-
sorted to the football tactics, Appar
entity Il was not intentional on the
part of either of the players. for both
teams put all they had into the en-
counter.
