Right now is the proper time for those most vitally interested in pugilism to ger together and form national boxing commission.
 For many years I have advocated such a body to control the activities Of the mitt wielders. And feel that this is the psychological moment for attempting to put it over. An organization of that sort would mean the perpetuation of the ring game and popularize 1t beyond anythlnS in any other era.
 One of the chief causes of public dis gust concerning ring activities is the fact that many champions refuse to de- fend their titles within certain periods There is no law or ring rule now that will force a champion into the ring Tn defense of his crown. He can remain m active for years-and still cling to the championship. By his idleness the sport lovers who yearn to see titular actiV- ity suffer constant disappointment,
 A national boxing commission which will have complete control over the do- ings of the boxers would eliminate this evil Under it's ruling a champion would be forced to fight in defense of his titie at least once every six months or every year. Failing to do so he would TOT felt title, whereupon the commission could order a series of elimination contests 10 QctcTHlnc HIS SuCCcSSOt.
 Faced by rule that compelled 2 championship contest every six months or every year. some tricky champs might elect to meet lemons" The com- mission, if properly empowered, could halt such a move by ruling that the champions could defend their title only against the most logical foe of the era If there were two or more logical con tenders at the time, the commission could order the necessary elimination contests to decide the man who was to meet the title holder.
 Another splendid thing for the ring game would be the abolition of fixed guarantees for each fighter The prac- tice indulged in during the recent years of guaranteeing both men a certain amount of money, win, lose or draw spells the spirit of the contest If fight CT knows that he is going to get certain amount of money no matter how the bout terminates, there is little real in- centive especially in meetings between nonchampions.
 Back in the old days the promoters put up a certain purse and the share which each warrior got depended upon the outcome of the battles. Many contests were on the "winner-take-aiP' basis. However, the most popular plan was the 70 per cent for the winner and 25 per cent for the loser, although numerous fights were on the 60-40 basis.
 Nowadays, if a champion gets into the ring with a man and is guaranteed S4Vl for his services while the dub is guar@ anteed sl000 it doesn't make any differ ence how the fight terminates as far af the money part of it is concerned, and SD the real spirit of fight is missing. But if 5000 purse was put up and was to be split upon the 75-25 basis the champ wouldn't take any chances of losing the
