OFFICIAL RULES FOR
BOXING IN U. S. ARMY
New Code Differs Radically From
0ld-Resemhics Particularly Mar
quis of Queepsbury Laws.

Washington d. c., June 23.--OTic!al
army boxing rules TO govern boxing
contests among the million and a half
men In training were issued today by
war department comm ission on tfsin-
ing camp activities The new code
differs radically from the codes com
monty in use for the last ten or ff-
teen years and resembles more par
ticulariy the Marquis of oueeusherry
rules which laid stress on fast. clever
fghtinE. Greater credit Is given to
the boxer who is aggressive in spite
of punishment than to the one who
covers up or clinches.
"A million and a half men Of the
new. army are being taught to box,
says Or Josenh t. Raycroft. head OF
the athletic division of the commits
sion. In statement accom- oanFluE the
new rules. because u develops in
them those qualities Of alertness and
pugnactty which make them better
oayonet fighters. success in bayonet
hEht'ng depends upon aggressive de-
termination and attack and even more
than upon technical Skin. Boxing de-
velops this aggressiveness in offense.
A herce-attacking forward action bay
onet charge means 80 per cent quota
OF hghting men returned to safety.
That is one important reason why the
new boxing rules set a high premium
upon offensive rather than on defen-
sivs lighting"
All hack stepping. covering up and
purely defensive work are discouraged
under the army boxing rules and each
contestant is made subject to a PEN
atty for such work. This latter recon-
mendation Ia a direct departure from
the accepted standard OF ring strategy
which puts premium on purely de-
fensive tactics.
Under the new rules a total Of ak
blows constitutes the ground plan OF
the boxing program. The maintenance

Judgment OF points. The value OF
attack cannot be overestimated ard
should be considered prime factor in
ths allotsng OF points," it Is stipulated
The new rules which were formu-
lated upon consultation with the COM
mission boxing instructors in the var
lous camps lay particular emphasis
upon those points which are valuable
in the Furthermore training of the
men who are going to be bayonet
fighters
Under the army rules the referee is
shorn of much power Many Of his
active functions have been delegated
to two judges, each of whom is assist
ed by q clerk. Fouls are clearly de-
fined and are within the jurisdiction
of the referee who may disqualifv iut-
mediately any contestant for attempt
ed unsportsmaalike tactics Downs are
limited to the standard of ten seconds.
To gain fast action the time limit per
round has heen made two minutes in 70
stead of three minutes for novice
bouts Four rounds will be boxed ex-
cept in the case Of divisional cham
pionship contests which may run six
rounds.

MT Chelsea Eng, on the Fourth Of
July. II will not be the first time that
he has witnessed Americas national

England and its ruler participated in

II $ true that King George saw the
exhibition match between the Giants
and the White Sox when they toured
tho world in 1918. but that was OF
trivial importance compared 10 the
game that will be PLAYED on the same
field between two branches of Ameri-

Who knows how MANY OF The crick-

more active pastime of their Western
allies?
Sent,r1ert among the American
forces Is that England could do moth
ing more TO show her comradeship
for the men who have come across tho
seas than TO give official recognition
to their adopted sport.
BasebalI games since America en-
trance to the war are not the rare
spectacies they formerly were. Men
garrisoned or in training on the Brit
ish isles took with them their Aneri-
can ideas. and baseball was not ex-
Guided.
Perhaps the introduction OF Ameri-
cas- national game has made further
progress in France, There the Amer
leans were not its sole patrons. as

already played the game. which is
given much credit for their proficiency
in the use OF hand grenades.
