Madden Suspended and Globe
A., C. Scored by Boxing Board

The members of the New Jersey
boxing commission, W of whom were
at the ringside in the Broad Street A.
c., Newark, and witnessed the affair
between BARLEY Madden and Clay

ernoon and suspended Madden for six
months but let Turner off with a rep
rimand.
Madden failed to put In an appear
ance before the commission. Turner
put in evidence an X-ray photograph
showing a ligament in his left hand
had been torn. In spite of the fact
that Turner testified that he was not
In condition to box at his best when
he entered the ring and therefore
could not give the spectators what
they paid to see, Chairman John Smith
and Commissioner Mccain, who saw
the bout, voted to let the Indian OF
with a reprimand.,
In the fourth round of the contest
Commissioner Smith sent word to Ref
cree Sullivan to order the boxers out
of the ring unless they improved in
their work. As there vas no improve
ment In the next session the referee
ordered the men TO leave the ring, and
Steve Falfon. manager OF the Broad
Street A. c., was ordered by Chairman
Smith not to pay a cent to the boxers,
Madden entered the ring utterly out
of condition for a contest, and. ii is
said. refused to go on unless Turner
gave his word not to hit him in the
body. The ruling of the commission
was the subject of comment in boxing
circles here last night. where the opin-
ion prevailed hat the severity of the
Jersey commission in dealing with Of
tenders Is principally confined to the
use OF threatening language.
Sam Langford was disbarred from
appearing in New Jersey fights for the
next six months because of his failure
to answer the summons of the COM

PEKING. Oct. 15.-About 200 war

near the summer palace here. So
pleased are they with their environ

letters to their friends inviting them
to come to China and enjoy its hospi-

At first these so%journers claimed
that they were Italians eager to re-

was made to ship them on an Italian
transport for Italy. they refused to go

Herbert Licks Curry In Fast
Bout At LOtos;; Dummies Quit

Matty Herbert started things with
a rip and bang at the Lotos last night
and tore into Willie Curry, the idol
of the island. with so much vehe-
mence that In Just exactly one min
ute the sailor boxer had hit the aoor.
The sailor struggled to his feet and
appeared "out to sea- but like a good
COB he weathered the storm of Mat
tvs blows and i'm the latter part of
the fight put up such a strong come
back that he had his Staten Island
rooters yelling themselves hoarse.
But Notwithstanding Curry's come
back in the fifth. sixth and seventh
rounds the bout vas all Herbert's. OF
the eight rounds fought, Matty easily
had five and drew in another. giving
himself a comfortable margin over
the Pelham Bay boxing instructor.
The fight started with both men
feeling each other out. Matty SHE'D
and capered around like a bantam
rooster until Curry dashed out a wild
swing which just about mussed up
Matty's haircomb. Matty then coun-
tered with a left jab to the Jaw.
Curry missed a couple and then the
boys went into close quarters and af-
ter an exchange of blows Matty
whipped q left to the sailors jaw that

fore the referee could start counting
him out he staggered to his feet and
took a severe lacing from the local

In the second round Matty in
creased his lead by jabbing Willie

Matty also got his famous flying left

verely whenever he connected which
was often enough to make the tar
loolS- weary. Curry was staggered q
number. of times n il looked like
curtains for him. The third and

dangerous. Matty seemed to be let

the sailor appeared stronger and al

a few telling blows on the PaoAmak-

squabbling now so prevalent would be
eliminated.
Another source of much disgust
among lovers of tho squared arena Is
the seeming impossibility of get
ting some champions into n ring to
defend their title.
Jess Willard and Johnny Kilbane
are two titleholders Of prominence
who cannot be enticed into II cham
pionship fight.
Kilbane has rot defended his title
for over two years. He has given as
an excuse his duties as an army in
structor. This no longer holds good.
1t will be interesting to see what his
new reason will be.
As for the wary willard. nobody Is
able to drag him into a ring. He has
risked his title but once since he won
IL, April 5th, 1915.
Not even for the War Work Fund
would he step into the ring.
With a national governing body on
boxing. these two men would not be
able to pose before the sporting world
as champions.
Rules would he adopted which
would require a prize fighter within
a reasonable time after he had won a
championship TO defend his title or
forfeit it to the best man of the weight
determined by elimination contests.
No one would seek TO deny the
champion the right to enjoy the easy
money which falls his way after win
ming the title. but he should not be
permitted to stall his way through
year after year. when legitimate con-
tenders are In the field.
For these two reasons alone 1t
would seem as if the leading fight
promoters of the country who have
the interest Of the sport at heart, and
are not solely interested in the game
for the sake Of the almighty dollar.
would give prizefghting its proper

Boxing Commission
Should Be Organized

The need i'm the United States for n
national commission to govern boxing
is becoming more glaring every lay.
Now that the war is ended. II Is rea-
sonable to believe that boxing Will
have a boom. and hat bouts will be
staged involving the titles of cham-
pions in the different divisions.
But without n governing body such
as the National Sporting Club of Lon
don. the same evils so prevalent in
ring circles in the past, may be ex-
pected to continue.
There have zee no rigid rules in
this country as to the weights at
which title bouts should be fought.
Each champion has. In a measure.
set the weight at which he would de-
fend his title.
This weight might airy anywhere
from one to fl pounds from the gen.
orally recognizes weight In that class.
Today we have an example of a
champion who is generally believed
cannot make the weight in his divi-
sion.
Benny Leonard. lightweight cham
pion. is now reliably reported to have
become a welterweight since he turn
cd army instructor. When he met
Ted Lewis. the weiter title holder, a
short time 90, there was little diff
ference in their weights.
Should il be impossible, as seems
likely, for Leonard to make the rec
ognized lightweight limit of 1873
pounds there should be a national
body with authority K declare the title
vacant. -+
This would not be an injustice to
leonard, as the fans would now that
he had retired from the lightweight
division as indicated champion.
which is surely better than the dog
in-the-manger attitude taken by some
title holders in the past.
Ring fans, too, would be better
pleased, as much of the s~talling and
