Good Rule in baltimore.

partment of Baltimore was followed

be on a solid basis. Deputy Marshal
Samuel House has been placed in COM
plete control OF the game in the Monu-
ment City One of the chief rules 10
that the boxers who are matched for q
bout there must present themselves to
House and n surgeon twenty.four hours
previous to the time set for a contest
and submit TO rigid physical examina-
ton.
This requirement will effectually re-
move the danger of eleventh hour En-
cuses by boxers. Another excellent rule
is to- the effect that all boxers must post
forfeits with House Immediately on the
s!gnng OF articles. and thus guarantee
Their appearance in the ring.
House also indicated that he will stand
no nonsense from noisy seconds, During
tho contest between Jack Sharkey and
Dick Loadman Joe Wagner handler Of
Sharkey. became offensive In his coach
