BRITISH WAY IS
PUZZLE To THE
YANK BOXERS
System Explained by Ted
Lewis; Place Great Stress
On Accuracy.
PENALIZE FOR
BREAKING RULES

Anew YORK, Dec 2s.-Followers Of
~ boxing this side or the pond
we're a BIT mystlfied over the system
used in the recent boxing tourna-
ment in London which gave the Brit
ish army boxers such a big lead on
points and enabled them TO outshine
the American army and navy boxers.
The English system IS not gener--
ally understood over here out Ieo
Lewis. the welterweight champion
explains II clearly, and through TED
comes the solution to the success OF
the Britishers.
According TO Lewis. who learned
his A 3 C's in pugilism under the
British rules. each round Is judged
The maximum number OF
uoints for each round is five. There
fore. II one boxer goes through per-
feet round he gets five points. Whlie
his opponent IS warned for lnfraction
of the rules he Is penalized one or
10 points and at the end OF the
bout the points are summed Up and
the pug with the majority, OF course
rs declared the winner.
Another feature OF the EnEiish
rules lies in the fact that when
n boxer leads and misses he re-
celves a penalty for 1t. Accuracy
in punching f. demanded under
the English system, and the hoy
who goes in swinging Wild loses
Eround every time he pulls
punch off the floor and fails TO
find a landing place.
Under such rules the Americans
we're at q disadvantage because they
have not been taught 10 fight that
way. When a Yankee puts up his
dukes in ring battle he goes IN TO
punish his opponent, and Mike
ODowd, Eddie McGoorty and Augie
