Commission Would Compel Boxers to
do Their Training in Wisconsin.
CRy Associated Press.l

Milwaukee, Sept. 20. - The state
athletic commission, which controls
boxing in Wisconsin is considering
adopting a rule which will compel
boxers scheduled to appear in Mil
waukee matches, to do their training
here three or four days prior to the
contest. .....
Complaint was made that boxers
fail to keep their agreements to train
here, in some instances not arriving
until the day of the contest. The
commission and patrons Of the sport,
therefore, are not given an OPP
portunity to judge their condition.
In the past boxers from the east
have been in the habit Of doing their
training in Chicago.
