Frequent clinching spoils the fans in

The Marquis of Queensberry rules
specifically bar clinching." said White.
Those boxing laws really were framed
to prohibit that very practice. Under
the old London prize ring rules clinch
ing and gouging were allowed But the
new boxing regulations excluded both.
Some referees permit hitting in
clinches with one hand free. That is a
violation of the rules. II only one hand
is free it means that the other is en-
gagged in clinching. doesn't it? And
clinching is not allowed"
Forces Warriors to Fight.
White refused to outline his course Of
action in the big affair next Saturday

pies not TO discuss n battle in which he
is scheduled to officiate.
But the one thing you may be sure
Of: therell be more toe-to-toe fighting

Despite his long career as ring au-

i'm a few years he became the best

were trimmed to the tune Of "a to 2. It

used them to good advantage throughout

It was the first time the Beall boys have

in four games to a total OF is for their
opponents.
Harley Is Husky.
The Beau team have fine young pitcher
in the person OF Harley. he is the husl1iest
young boXman in the league and should be
a conner with every game he pitches. There
are about three boys on the Beall team that
sure can whale the horse hide but It seems
they will not run the bases as they should
and that is what counts when It comes to
getting runs.
