WAR DEPARTMENT ISSUES NEW BOXING
RULES TO GOVERN NIT CONTESTS IN

Washington, June 27-OfficiaI
army boxing rules COdified to gov

a half men in training have been
issued by the war departn ent com
mission on training camp activt-
ties. The new code differs radical
~ from the regulations commonly
in use for the last 10 or 10 years
and resembles more particularly
the Marquis OF Queensbcrry rules
which laid stress on fast, clever
fighting Greater credit is given 10
the boxer who is aggressive in
spite OF punishment than 10 the
one who covers up or cInches.
"A million and half men OF the
new army are being taught to
box" says DR.. Joseph f. Raycroft.
head of the athletic division of the
commission, because it develops
in them those qualities Of alertuess
and pugnacitv which make thea
better bayonet fighters. Success
in bayOnet fighting depends upon
aggressive determination and al
tack even more than upon skill.
Boxing develops this aggressive
ness in ofrense \ fierce-attacking

is one important reason why the
new boxing rules set a nigh prem

All back stepping. covering up

cOuraged under the army boxing
rules and each contestant is made

The volume Of speculation was in
keeping with the general record
breaking conditions that preYalled.
The racing itself was OF a hign
standard, sparkling with contests
between well-seasoned horses OF q
high class.
Sensationally fast time was re-
corded in number OF races, due
in a measure TO the wonderfully
improved track conditions. A new
American record for a mile and 70
yards was made by Pif, Jr-, the
gelding going the distance IN
1:4I3-5. Rancher also equalled the
record for the same distance. Es-
coba, Kenneth Alexander Jr's great
3-year-old. came within a narrow
margin of equalling the American
record for a mile, his time being
1876 As.

This latter recommendation is a
direct departure from the accepted
standard OF ring strategy which
puts a premium on purely defen-
sive tactics.
Under the new rules total OF
six blows constitutes the ground
plan OF the boxing program. The
maintenance Of such a series OF
blows must he taken into consider
alton in the final judgment of
points. The value of attack can
not be Overestimated. and should
be considered a prime iactor IN
the aIloting of points," 1t is stip-
ulated.
Under the army rules the referee
is shOrn of much power. Many OF
his active functions have been
delegated to two judges, each o.
whom is assisted by a clerk. Fouls
are clearly defined and are within
the jurisdiction of the referee,
who may disqualify Immediately
any contestant for attempted IN
spOrtsmanlike tactics. Downs are
limited to the standard Of 10 se:-

-" the COO: fts vou. put Il on"

IN spite of the fact that the town
was unable to get through its last fs-
cal year without negotiating several
thousand dollars Of temporary loans 10
meet unforeseen expenses it seems no
more than fair to give the selectmen
credit for handling affairs with good
judgment and due respect for neces-
saTy economy. Their report shows that
in spite of these loans the town s la
bllities have been reduced and that is
certainly something to be thankful for
in these strenuous times. Had it not
been for tho unusual expense made
necessary by the heavy transforms of
last fall and the Unprecedented snow
fall of the winter that now seems ap-
preaching its end it would doubtless
have been possible, as the selectmen
say, 10 meet all expenses including the
retirement of bonds that fen due with
out borrowing any money.
