Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Greaf Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBETr,

Those who attempt control of profess
 sional boxing could make no wiser move
 than to adopt many of the rules which
 now govern all fistic combats in the army
 camps CT or the warships. They are red
 blooded rules for red-blooded fighting
 men, and that's the thing.
 For many years boxing has been in
 something of a chaotic condition, due
 largely to the fact that many of the laws governing the sport were amended to suit each different contest. The Mar
 quis of Queensbury rules, supposed to
 be the standard for ring battles in this
 country, long ago became partially obso.
 lete. Yet no one had the power to draft
 a new set and then to enforce them.
 When boxing was introduced in the
 army camps, the government officials
 quickly discovered the dire need for
 change in many of the old rules and the
 introduction of some new ones At ones the boxing committee of the war depart ment, of which I have the honor of be-
 ing member, busied itself, with the result that just recently it formulated
 it's own set of ring regulations which
 now are in universal use throughout the camps.
 Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, chairman of the committee on training camp activt- ties and tEe dominating spirit, pays splendid tribute to boxing as a sport
 and a developer of fighting men in the foreword which precedes the outlining of the boxing rules in a little pamphlet Among other things, pr. Raycroft says: The object of teaching boxing in the army is to make head up and eyes open two-fisted fighting men, rather than ex- pert boxers and ring fighters A straight left, we'll delivered and backed up b. l aggressive American determination, is a Boche eliminant in nine cases out of ten The big contribution of boxing to mil itary training is to develop in men the willingness and ability to fight at close range. Its purpose is to teach soldiers to give and take punishment. There is close relation in the qualities required for boxing and bayonet fighting. Both require agility of body, quickness of eye, good balance and control in giving a
 punch or thrust, and an aggressive fight ing spirit that breaks down or weakens defense. and makes openings for an ef- fective 'finlsh.'
 Boxing practice will build up the abil ity to sense an opening and take imme. diate advantage of it. without thinking and without hesitation. The practical
 application of this faculty to the exigea-

It looks as if the big league moguls have changed their minds at the last moment and will play along until some thing definite is heard from the admin istration regarding what is expected of baseball in conforming to the Baker ruI- ing. It may be that Barrow's sugges- tion of 100-game race can be put into effect with permission of the Secretary of War. This will prolong the life of the majors about two weeks and give them a chance to stage a worlds series, from which they hope to garner enough change to tide 'em over the storm.
 Garry Hermann, president of the na- tional commission, says that all the Ma tional league teams in the west are now journeying east on their regular sched- ules and would continue playing for the present, at least. MT. Hermann is at tempting to arrange a meeting of all moguls in his league at Pittsburg Tues day for the purpose of discussing the fu- ture of the organization. Just what steps will be taken at this meeting are nor known, but unless there are new devel- oPihSheo III MI. DdhCi OIQtlj lnc lGHGf circuit must disband.

Chicago, July 2.-Two games between the Cincinnati and Chicago teams of the National league scheduled for Chicago tomorrow were cancelled today by Au- gust Hermann, chairman of the Ma tonal baseball commission and president of the Cincinnati club, as a result of Secretary Bakers interpretation of the work or fight rule as applied to base ball players

 Included among the army rules are
 these, which it would be well for profess
 sional boxers to heed:
 A physician shall examine both men
 before the contest begins and shall re-

 Bandages shall not be worn on the
 hands.
 The army rules require both fighters
 to be examined by a physician before
 the battle begins and the doctor at the
 ringside until the contest is over. 4n case one of the men is in bad condition the doctor can give medical ruling Q the referee and he acts upon it by stop ping the contest.
 No. fighter can wear bandages on his hands except by direction of the medical advisor.

 In reaching decision, the judges are guided by the point rule system, 20 points

 Boston. July 21-"My answer is that will not give my consent, and it re- auires unanimous consent to close the season" declared President H. H. Frazee of the Boston American league team today when his attention was called to Ban Johnson's request to abide by Secretary Bakers order at once.

President Wilson takes over the tele phone and telegraph companies. He can. through the direction of the subordinate whom he will appoint, as he appointed Secretary McAdoo director general ot the railroads, practically unify the tele- phone and telegraph service of the coun- try, thereby establishing the very kind of monopoly of which complaint was made a few years ago to President Vail. Of course it will be said that this is due to the eXigencies of the war.
